Ugly Charges Made.
The article of ball being played by
Nashville just now is the worst this
city has ever seen, and the fans are after
Mique Finn with hammers good and
strong It is rumored that most Of the
players are keeping late hours, are drink
ing heavily, and by no means are play
ing up to their form 1t is likely that
the management will make an investiga-
ton into the conduct of several of the
men, and should 1t be learned that they
are guilty of the charges brought against
them, there will be some heavy fines
handed out and probably some suspen-
sions

that the big Lacquer will eventually land

off bases, according to the Memphis pa
pers, narrowly escapes baking. Babb

Roadway, Miller assumed the managerial
toga of Mobile, In the Cotton States
Finn now declares that unless Miller re-
ports to Nashville for duty, he will be
indefinitely suspended from further par
ticipation in baseball.
1t is natural to suppose that Miller
gained permission to manage Mobile He
is too old a head to violate the funda-
mental rules of organized baseball, with
out having authority for his action. Since
Finn has recalled him. however, there is
nothing else to believe but that either the
one or the other has committed an un-
pardonable breach of baseball etiquette.
Judging from the published accounts of
additions and changes to and in the
teams of the Southern League, the several
managers are grooming their men for the
home stretch. In the first place, Finn
announces that Bob Stafford is now thor
oughly recovered and will be at first
again. The manager of the Nashville team
has also recalled DUSTY" Miller from
Mobile. Montgomery has strengthened by
the addition of the Texan pitcher walsh,
who worked out yesterday. Frank has
added Atz and Brouthers to his lineup.
Little Rock has a new pitcher Keith.
Memphis has added Francis to its corps
of slab artists. Atlanta has enlisted the
services of Duggan. a pitcher. the brother
of the well known Nashville Duggan,
and Brown, centerfielder. Shreveport
has been reinforced by the addition of
Powell, a new catcher, and Kennedy, the
well known centerfielder.
From the above, 1t is seen that Birming-
ham alone is standing pat with the hand
drawn some time ago. Birmingham has
a great team, and the manager is sure
that it can continue the present pace I'M
til the end of the season.
This from the Cincinnati Enquirer will
be read with much interest for the simple
reason that John j. McGraw. manager
of the New York Giants, is well known
in Birmingham. and because Billy Car
penter, the old Southern League umpire
is justly popular here:
Manager McGraw was canned by UNI
pire Carpenter for back talk from the
bench in the eighth Nc. went over to
Rooters' Row and sat the game out with
Joe Kelley. McGraw gave few bits of
healthy advice to a few -overheated fans
who tried to kid him. You fat-headed
buns" said he. you howl when you are
all together, but I'll dare any one of
YOU to come out behind the stand alone
with me and fight 1t out" No one stirred.
'There YOU are You sit here and roast
your own players until they're up in the
air. You're a fine bunch. No single in
divfdual resented these refined remarks
and Nc. had the last word
Once upon a time, McGraw issued a
similar challenge to Willie Keller, the
brilliant third baseman of the New York
Hiahlanders. The severity of McGraw's
subsequent punishment is history.

good crowd out last night to see the

of the series being played at the Young

game Berry overcame Platowsky by the
score of to 3. The playing was excellent
on both sides, the feature being the pitch
ing of Zwald. From the beginning of the
second game the excitement ran high.
Weiland tied the score in the fourth in

home with the winning run, interest was
most intense. The nights result give

Negro Dave Howard Tells How
and Why He Committed the
Murder.
Prompt and Intelligent Work on Part
of Officers Secures the Criminal
and Discovers Evidence that
Absolutely Fastens Guilt
Upon Prisoner.

Dave Howard. the negro
charged with the murder of the
Syrian, J. L. Breaux, has con-
fessed. He made the confession
Sunday night to District At
torney Campbell and Sheriff La
coste, and his story of the ter
rible crime tallies exactly with
the theory previously formed by
the officers, as to how and why
the deed was committed. He
states that he first entered a
house, where he stole a coat.
He then left and as he passed
through the yard picked up an
axe to defend himself should
need be, as he decided to enter
another house to get "a piece of
money" to buy something to eat
and to get away. Seeing the
window open he took of his shoes
and went in. While he was ran
sacking the armor, the man
walked up. Fearing he might be
shot, he struck the man with the
axe just as he was raising up.
The noise woke the woman and
he put his hand over her face
gave her violent shove and then
ran out the way he came.
Every particular stated above
was known to the officers within
two days after the crime was
committed, and Sheriff Lacoste,
Chief Chargois and their deputies
deserve high praise for the
intelligent, systematic and sue
cessful manner in which they
handled the seemingly battling
mystery that met them Sunday
morning week ago.
Promptly upon arrival on the
scene of the crime the officers
began a diligent search for a clue
to the perpetrator. The blood

The Council held regular
meeting Monday night. The f.
nal ordinance necessary in the
bond issue was passed. A re-
port was received from the com
mittee on extension of Monroe
street stating that the street ex-
tended through lots occupied by
cabins next to city hall. Mr..
VIM. Campbell, representing the
Bank of Lafayette, rendered the
old bank building and LOT on the
court house square to the city for
a city hall at 81 800. A commit
tee was appointed to investigate
and make report. Both the
treasurer and collector made re-
ports. The chief of police and
assistant chief were each allowed
$40 a month additional because
of the increased cost of keeping
their horses. Approval of bills
was deferred owing to absence
of Chairman Hopkins of the FL
nance Committee.

SCOTT CHURCH.
Successful Mission Three Days.
Two Hundred Make First
Communion Thursday.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day of last week Father Chasles
assisted by priests from neigh
boring towns conducted a mis-
sion at the Scott Catholic church
which was largely attended.
The interest was greatly in
creased by devoting the second
night to ladies only and the last
night to men, and on both nights
introducing the novel feature of
having some one rise and make
objection to statements from the
pulpit, presenting at the same
time the view point of many of
laity on the subjects discussed.
The purpose was to call attention
to such matters as were deemed
advisable in order to give op-
portunity to correct some erron-
eOus ideas, and also make the
services attractive. The mission
was very successful and one of
the results was that on Thurs
day morning, the day set for
communion services, about sew
enty men went to the church at
$50 to make communion. At Z
o'clock the same morning over
two hundred communicates who
were carefully prepared by
Father Detchemedy, the pastor,
made their first commun niOn in
the presence of an immense con-
gregation.
| Father DrOssaerts. of BrOus-
sard, delivered an excellent SER
mon appropriate to the occasion.
The ceremony was made more
interesting by the singing of the
children. At high mass, per-
formed by Father Reynald, of
Crowley, assisted by Fathers
Doutre, of Rayne, and Chasles,
of Lafayette. the communicates
renewed their baptismal VOWS
and sang beautifully the "Bonne
Marie. Father Chasles deliv-
cred the sermon. Mr.. F. V.
Mouton, DR.. Ducrocq and Mr..
Louis Meersh assisted the choir.
Besides the priests already
mentioned as present and TAX
ing part were: Rev. Collierd, Of
Abbeville, Van Alien. of Crowley,

stains on the floor were eXamln-
ed. showing that they were made
with bare feet. They were fol-
lowed, showing the window
where ingress and egress were
! effected. The open wardrobe
told where the thief had searched.
The cut in the bar, the position of
the body and the bed post, re-
yealed the manner in which the
fatal blow was struck and that
the unfortunate victim had raised
himself to a sitting posture when
the axe hurled him into eternity.

to be on the lookout, and at about
half past seven a. m. P. H. MOu-
ton and Judge Felix Begneaud
arrested a strange negro hang
ing around the depot at Scott as
| if with intention to board the
freight due at 8. On searching
him they found blood stains on
his clothes and being questioned
he gave contradictory answers,
finally admitting he was from
Opelousas, later cOnfessing TO
criminal assault Saturday on a
fourteen year old negro girl.
Sheriff LacOste was notified and
Immediately sent Deputy Saul
Broussard for the prisoner.
Meantime the investigation
was continued and it was found
that the house of Mr.. Ludovic
Guidry near the Breaux home
had been entered and coat
stolen. The axe was recognized
by Mr.. Guidry as his property
as was also the coat worn by the
negro when brought from Scott.
Examination of the negro dis
closed blood upon his shirt,
pants, inside of his shoes and be-
tween his toes. Putting all
these together with few other
details, Sheriff Lacoste formed
an unbreakable chain of circum-
stantial evidence that made con-
viction absolutely certain. The
negro's confession has not made
the evidence stronger, but has
removed the last vestige of doubt
as to perpetrator of the murder.

Del Morse. with Double Domestic
Circle, Lands in County
Jail.

Del Morse. farm hand from S4rpy
county, is in the county Jail as a result
of Investigations made by Superintendent
Ellison of the Humane society and a
criminal charge will be filed against him
in the South Omaha police court Just
what the charge will be the county at
torney has not decided as the case is
a somewhat peculiar one.
According to the evidence gathered by
Mr.. Ellison. Morse was married seven or
eight years ago and lived with his wife
in Omaha several years. Then he aban-
doned her with three children. He went
to South Omaha and, it is alleged, went
to living with another woman without
the formahty of marriage rites. Two
children were born to them and they
lived for four or FIVE years as man and
wife In the interests Of the first set OF
children the humane society took the case
up and Morse was located on a farm In
sarpy county. As there was apparently
no marriage ceremony with the second
woman it is not probable the charge will
be bigamy.
Deputy County Attorney Foster said
Wednesday he did not know just what
kind of an offense would be filed
