trict Attorney Adams reiterated this
morning the statement he made some

IMPROVEMENTS DELAYED
The Traction Company Has Declined to
Agree to the Payment ola Part OF
the Cost of Viaduct.

When several weeks since it was
stated in the Caucasian that the Kan
sas City Southern would spend about
million dollars on improvements of its
shops, there was great rejoicing, not
only in West Shreveport but throughout
the city.
1t is stated with regret that the con-
templated Improvements have been de-
layed. During these dull times these
improvements would have helped in the
stimulation of industry The money ex-
pended would have been great help
to the whole community.
1t is stated on authority unquestioned
that he delay is due to the declination of
the Traction Company to agree to the
payment of one-third of the cost of a
viaduct
The Kansas City Southern propose
to establish a system of tracks which
would cover a space over which it would
be impossible to cross in safety, and
therefore suggested the viaduct at Mad
ison avenue as being necessary to avoid
accidents and to safeguard life and
property The cost of the viaduct is es-
timated at 10000, of which the Trac-
ton Company should pay half, $4,000.
Until some understanding is reached
or the necessary action is taken there
will be little done towards these i'm
provementS.

FULTON REMANDED
Plea of Self Defense Is Contradicted by
Facts Developed at the Preliminary.

In the last issue of the Caucasian
there was published the several theories
with the homicide involving
the death Of John Howard, killed by
lanes c. Fulton on Wednesday, Att
gust I8, near Vivian. Fulton's plea OF
justification was self-defense. He sur
rendered after the deed and at his re-
quest was granted a preliminary exarni-
nation Friday before Judge I. F. Bell.
It developed at this preliminary that
Fulton was not only unjustifed but was
the aqgressor. When he shot and killed
Howard he seemed to be mad. He was
under the influence of brain storm, in
tensified by his failure to kill chicken
at which he had fired and which led
Howard to laugh at him. In his fit OF
desperation he broke his gun and
smashed everything generally and want
ed to break Howard's gun. Then fol
lowed a fight, when Fuller became pos
sessed of Howard's gun. Trying to
avoid greater trouble Howard left the
scene, when he was shot in the back.
Howard was unarned. He died few
minutes after he had been shot.
AS this was not bailable case, Full
ton was remanded to Jail to await ths
inquiry by the grand jury.

A. HARRIS RULE
All Teachers Must Stand Examination
No Provisional Certificates Issued.

Baton Rouge, La, Aug. 2o-A kick
has gone up from teachers from other
States who expect to be employed in
Louisiana public schools this year, at
the ruling of State Superintendent Har-
ris that no provisional certificates will
be issued this year.
Some of the teachers have been COM
ing from other States, securing pro-
visional certificate when school opened,
and teaching on until later examina-
ton is held and they have an opportun-
ity to attend.
Mr.. Harris has ruled that no provis-
ional certificates will be recognized this
year. The teachers from other States
will therefore have to come to Louis
lana the last of this month and stand
the regular examination which is to be
held for the Louisiana teachers in the
different parishes and get a regular GER
tifcates before they can teach in the
public schools"
1t is not singular that objection has
been raised against this rule. Why
should teacher be required to submit
to an examination? Is the rule OF
Prof. Harris in force in other States?

A MIS-STATEMENT
Governor Sanders Was Not Snubbed
by the Police Jury of Caddo Parish

The Mansfield Enterprise has been
mislead into a statement which is lncor-
rect. The Enterprise says:
"The Caddo Police jury snrbbed
Governor Sanders on the good ROADS
proposition. 1t seems that the Gov-
ernor, or some of his indiscreet TRENDS
made an appointment for the Governor
to address that body on good roads but
that the Police Jury refused to hold
session for he purpose of hearing him,
but some of the members said that they
would listen to him as individuals. Inc
Governor then promptly cancelled the
engagement and the matter dropped.
The Police Jury declared that they had
no idea of making political game out
of good roads. In this connection, We
will say that the Police Jury of this
parish also finn -hammed' the Governor.
After he had made his address, and the
meeting had memorialized the Police
Jury to adopt his suggestions, the To-
lice Turv was convened Immediately,
and adopted a resolution authorizing
the expenditure of $1,000 a year In ten
installments thus repudiating every sug-
cestion made by the Governor. We
have said little about this before, be
cause we were informed that 1t was
mistake, and that he Police jury intend
ed to authorize the issue of $4,000 IN
certificates at once, and that the mat
| ter would be corrected at the next
meeting. However, as the matter now
stands, the Police Jury has hardly pro-
vided sufficient funds for the parish
road gang. which could not skim over
the I44o miles of public roads IN De
Soto parish in fifteen years, and could
not build a mile OF model road within
six months.
As regards the Police Jury of Caddo
] Parish. an adjournment had been sug-
/ gested from Thursday to Saturday al
lternoon when Governor Sanders was
. expected in Shreveport Such an ad-
iournment would have entailed a cost
of more than one hundred dollars on
| the parish, besides the inconvenience
and the cost of return of the police
Jurors from the country. Having trans
acted the business of the session ane
: adopted the budget, which provides al
t appropriation for good roads, the Jur.
adjourned 1t was stipulated that al
y invitation had been rendered to each O
