of 1900 as compared with the first six
months of 1908, show striking de-
crease of offenses against the city ordi-

the first six months of 1908 totaIed S18,
of which SIS were for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. For the same pc
Rod of 1909 the arrests numbered 3S7,

E. T. FULLER CONVICTED
With His Concubine, Martha Mcmillan,
a Quadroon-Motion for a New Trial
Filed-Sentence Reserved.

There was convicted by jury Friday
afternoon E. T. Fuller, white man,
and Martha Mcmillan, a qiadroon, for
violation of Act 81 of 1908. The trial
was in the District Court, criminal sec
ton, of which Hon. A. ]. Murff is judge.
The Act i'll question prohibits the re-
lationship or concubinage between per-
sons of the Caucasian and the African
races. On conviction the penalty is
from one month to one year in jail or
in the pen, at the discretion of the court.
The intent of the law is to restrict and
to eradicate, if possible, the crime of
mulattoizing the State
The evidence of guilt was so direct
and positive that the jury reached a
verdict within twenty minutes after
they had retired to consider the case.
The State was ably represented by
District Attorney Foster, who prescott
ed vigorously and effectively. In his
argument before the jury he presented
the evil of concubinage in all its debas-
ing features, and he scored to the quick
the man who had deserted his wife and
his children to live not only in adultery
with woman, but in defiance of the
law and all decency In community of
self-respecting people such crime
should not be tolerated The crime is
the more glaring for the reason that
Fuller is an officer of the law, justice
of the peace in Bossier, who therefore
should have impressed his good conduct
on the community. His conduct is re-
prehensible beyond the expression Of
words. There can be no sympathy for
a man who has abandoned his wife and
children and becomes the associate in
the companionship of woman of Afri-
can descent in disregard of every rule
of propriety and morality.
On behalf of the accused there was
attempted the appeal to sympathy in the
justification of the issue which excited
the risibles of intelligent men.
In this instance it was established that
white was black and that lineage is
stronger as proof than color, when ap-
piled in the cohabitation of individuals.
This is the first conviction in this
section of the State, but it is not be-
lieved it will have much effect in check
ing the evil, which is manifest in many
quarters.
At any rate the district attorney is
congratulated in this scoring for justice
and for decency, disregarded with con
temptuous hagrancy, the Haunting as it
were of a defiance in the face of law
abiding and reputable community.

LURED TO PANAMA
white Slave" Traffic Carried on in
Canal Zone-Woman Arrested At
tempts Suicide

The plea for the stoppage of the
white slave traffic between the United
States and the Canal Zone is contained
in a letter from Second Lieutenant C.
w Barber, Second United States In
fantry, the second assistant chief of po-
lice of the Canal Zone, which was Civ
en- out today by the local police, says a
telegram from New York. Lieutenant
Barber declared that many American
girls, and especially actresses, had been
lured to Panama, and that "the life they
led there would make your heart bleed"
The letter tells the story of three cho-
rus girls who, the writer relates, were
lured to Panama on the promise of an
engagement in local playhouse and
who were saved by the captain of the
steamer Tagus, who took them down.
The girls met for the first time on
board the steamer. When their story
reached the captain he took them in
charge and saw that they were brought
back to New York. The woman, who is
alleged to have engaged them to come
to Panama, was arrested. Later she
escaped, but detectivee sent by the New
York police arrested her at Gt1araquil
on July 10, the police say, under the
name of Spencer The police will meet
the steamer Alliaf1cia dine here from,
Panama tomorrow, to ascertain if the
woman calling herself Helen Spencer,
who a wireless message last night said
had vainly attempted suicide on board,
is the woman of that name now being
brought back from Ponama by the two
New YORK detectives.

TO PROHIBIT NEAR.BEER
Sweeping Measure Is Introduced in the
Georgia Legislature.

Atlanta, Ga, July 22.-Detsrmined to
make Georgia SO dry that even fruit
syrups in which there is a trace of al
cohol will be contraband in this State,
Representative Hooper Alexander of
Dekalb county introduced measure in
the House today. 1t not only forbids the
manufacture and sale of near-beer, now
sold, but it expressly provides that all
beverages containing even a trace of
alcohol shall not be sold in the State.
AS result the soft drink people are
alarmed, as all fruit syrups show a verS
small percentage of alcohol. If the bill
passes it is feared that even the drug
store soda fountain will be pitt out of
business.
The measure is aimed mainly at what
are termed ''near-beer" dealers When
the prohibition law was passed two
years ago it put under the ban only
Intoxicating liquors Some court
held that liquor was not Intoxicating
Unless it contained more than four per
cent of alcohol. Nearly all the domes
tic beers. it was discovered, contained
less. Hence they have been sold freely
all over the State and a license of $3.50
year assessed. The new bill sets out:
Whereas, the keeping or selling OF
alcoholic beverages is hereby adjudged
to be dangerous to the peace and safety
of the State and proceeds to make It
unlawful to either buy or sell or even
lave in ones possession any such baq-
erage The bill does not fix the pen
atty, merely providing that those con
victed of its violation shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor.
