ing in Minneapolis, Rev. w. J. johnson
has declined to leave the passionate OF
the Fifth Presbyterian church.

look over the field. .

church did not know what was going on
till Sunday, Feb. 4, when Rev. A. 3

BRUTAL ATTACK ON
A POLICE OFFICER
MAN ATTACKED IN FAVORITE
BOTTLE.

A brutal assault took place at the
Favorite saloon Saturday night. Fred
Kiley the proprietor and Dink Davis
a barkeeper employed about the place,
are charged with committing the as
sault and warrants for their arrest will
be issued today. David Kali a police
officer was the victim. According to
the statements of the police officer, he
was brutally and wantonly attacked by
Kiley. Both Kiley and Davis are. to be
charged with assaulting an officer. The
penalty for this offence is very severe
and can be punishment with imprison-
ment.
According to the evidence thus far
secured by the police Kali and some
companions were in the saloon on Sat
urday night They were told at 1880
O'Clock by Kiley that they would have
to leave. as it was time to close the
place. Kali looked about for a Por-
tuguese youth a companion and did not
see him. Upon going into the saloon,
proper, he saw the Portuguese on the
floor being beaten by Davis. Kali
showed his badge as a police officer
took the Portuguese toward the door
Davis is said to have struck Kali. But
the principal attack appears to have
been made by Kiley.
The latter struck the Portuguese
knocking him down, so Kali claims.
Kali ordered Kiley to desist from at
tacking the Portuguese but Kiley would
not so Kali stepped in front of the men
Kiley is then alleged to have struck
the policeman over the head with bot
tie, to have struck him over the eye
with the bottle and to have struck a
third blow with the bottle. Kali be-
came stunned and when he came to, he
found he was bleeding from the head
He has sustained bad wound over
the left eye, and there is danger that
he will lose the sight of the optic. He
reported the the occurrence at the
police station and then went to the
Queens Hospital for treatment

State Superintendent Aswell shows

State Superintendent Asweli SHOWS
the imperfectioEs of the census OF this
State, by showing that in many par
fishes the number OF children at the
schools exceeds the number Of educa-
BILE children enumerated In the census.
He says: 1.-THE actual enrolment In
several parishes Ia greater than the
number of educables reported. For
Jackson parish shows lis
per cent OF its white educables enroll
ed I'm the pnblic schools, Booster Ia
per cent. Grant 12l per cent, Vernon
lO4 per cent aud Caddo 1l3 per cent.
1t is, therefore, clear that with our
growing population. and advancing
school interests, the enumeration OF
educables should he made every two
years. forit is manifestly wrong for
these parishes to suffer an injustice
in the distribution of the public funds
for period of three to four years.
1t Is my opinion that better solu-
ton of the whole question would be
to base the apportiOnment of the
public school funds upon the average
attendance of the preceding year
rather than upon the number Of ed
ucables reported.
