YOUTHFUL BURGLAR
NOW IN SHREVEPORT

Shreveport, La, Sept 2S.-Detective
Price has returned from Dallas, hav-
ing in custody Earl Young, youth
full burglar, who on last Friday night
during the band concert hour entered
seven Shreveport homes and stole
jewelry valued at over $1,000. All
the booty was recovered by detec-
tives, except two small diamond rings
belonging to R. B. Hicks.
In the list of articles found in pos
session Of the youth, were half dozen
valuable watches, dozen jeweled
pins, cuff buttons, opera glasses,
lorgnettes and trinkets galore, togeth-
er with three pistols. Most Of the
loot was secured from the homes Of
o. E. Hicks, M. Silbernagle and Leon
r. Smith, the latter family being out
of the city.
Young formerly lived here and his
parents now reside in Vicksburg.

which met simultaneously. Rev. P.
of Strassburg, made
a report on the International Associa-
tion for the Protection of Young
Girls, and set forth the dangers which
confront the girl who leaves home in
search of means of livelihood.
The so-called white slave traffic,
he declared, was the greatest danger
In the path of the girl. The number
of these traffickers, men and women,
he added, is an immense one. To
wage war against these evils he ad-
vocated the creation CT special cen
trail offices of the associations for the
protection of girls, located in the most
important city of each diocese, and
cooperating with Catholic societies
and homes for the protection of girls
all over the world.
Another phase of the question which
Father Simons urged upon his hearers
was the protection of girls in their
respective native cities. This local
protection, he added, was being un-
dertaken in this country by the many
Catholic institutions and societies or
ganized for the purpose.
The conference received reports
from a number of city committees on
the question Of protection of girls.
Many causes were assigned for the
downfall of girls, including cheap
dance halls, connected with saloons,
cheap lodging houses and low wages.
The general conclusion of the reports
was that the problem was one of great
magnitude and complexity and that
probably the best method to meet 1t
now is to organize local city commit
tees in which all charity organizations
will be represented and keep in touch
with the national conscience.
Thomas G. Rapier, of New Orleans,
acted as chairman of the section
which discussed "The State and Chari'
ty." In this section papers were read
by David F. Tilly, Of Boston; Paul
Fuller, of New York, and Rev. John
w. Melody, Of the Catholic University.

A HARD nut FOR
HUDSON TO CRACK
Failure OF TaIIaIhatchie Supervisors
to Levy Tax for Agricultural School
Census Complication.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2S.-The de-
partment of justice has rather hard
nut to crack, one that, when it is
solved, will have increased the bump
of legal knowledge of Attorney Gen.
eral Hudson and his assistants,
Messrs. Fox and Mcdowell.
This question arises through the
failure of the board of supervisors of
Tallahatchie county to levy special
tax for the county agricultural high
school, which they should have done
at the September meeting.
The question submitted is whether
the supervisors have a right, since
the supervisors have made the levy
for general purposes, whether the
board has the right at its next meet
ing, to make the levy. During Mr..
Fletcher's time as attorney general,
he held that all taxes must be levied
at one and the same time, and quoted
from a decision by Judge j. A. p.
Campbell, who, while on the supreme
bench, delivered an opinion in which
he held that all taxes for all purposes,
must be made at the September meet
ing of the board, and that taxes levied
after that, unless at an adjourned
meeting would be illegal.
But the code of 1906 changed the
law on this subject to some extent,
and if, under the law, the supervisors
should meet in September and fail to
make a tax levy at all, they could be
mandamused and compelled to make
the levy for county purposes. This
being the case, it is believed the su-
pervisors can do voluntarily, what
they can be compelled to do.
A majority of the people Of Talla-
hatchie want the county high school
and If there is no other process to Sc
cure it, it is probable the board will
be mandamused and compelled to
make a special tax levy for its sup
port. Some of the supervisors, 1t is
said, are opposed to the school, and
do not favor levying a special tax for
this purpose, but the people want the
school, and are going to have 1t, Il
| 1t Is possible to secure 1t.

ernment should acquire the telegraph
lines and the telephone lines. These
two methods of disseminating intelli-
gence are what might be termed nat
ural monopolies.' In order to be eff
fective and efficient, there should be
one great system of each. There is
no more excuse for two or three tele-
graph companies, or a dozen or more
telephone companies, than there is for
as many privately owned systems Of
distributing the mail. The dissemina-
tion of intelligence by telegraph, or
by voice over the wires, is as essen
tial, If not more so, than that OF the
slower method Of transmitting letters
by mail, and therefore, these methods
should be eventually owned by the
government. Until that time, we
must depend upon the supervision of
the various states and we must de-
pend upon the supervision of the va
rious states and the Federal govern
ment, but in order to render the full
est service each of these branches
should be paramount in it's especial
sphere, and prepared to reach every
nook and Granny of the country as
completely as the United States mail
does.

"The manufacturer never sets an
exorbitant selling price that would re-
strict consumption, as that would be
against good business policy. hence,
since the price placed on the goods is

BILE consistent with good business pol
icy, when any grocer, in the mistaken
idea that he is building up, trade, sells
goods below cost, he not only runs
himself out of business but causes
every other grocer in his vicinity to
lose at the same time.
Manufacturers have already begun
to enforce fixed prices in California,
where they have been upheld by the
supreme court in their position. Out
there they have refused to ship goods
to any grocer who is selling their
products at less than the price marked
on the package, basing all this on the
hypothesis that If the underselling
grocer loses on one article he must
make up on another or quit business
in time.
Convention Endorsed Plan.
"a recent convention of New York
wholesalers endorsed this plan, while
the last national convention of Ma

side of fixed prices.
"A certain price cutting grocer is
leading a movement to have Congress
pass a bill permitting the retailer to
charge what he pleases without regard
to the standard of fixed prices, but in
my opinion nothing will ever be done
as the interstate commerce laws cover
the point fully and anything tending
to restrain trade would be handled
under this statute.

AFTER ITALIAN SMUGGLERS
Customs Men Think Two Seiz-
ures Prove a Conspiracy.

Two seizures of Italian laces made since
Saturday lead the customs authorities TO
believe they have unearthed widespread
conspiracy TO smuggle in that class of
goods.
Last Saturday Thomas J. Seaman and
David J. Sanlands. customs watchmen, saw
two men leaving the steamship Germania
with clothes bulgtnE. A search showed
that they had a large quantity Of laces
slowed between their Wristbands and their
bodies. and that their pockets were full Of
the same material, including medallions.
spreads and other valuable pieces.
The men gave their names as Ferdinand
Otriano and Gustavo Occhilupo. They said
they belonged TO the ship, but the chief
officer asserted that Otriauo was q repre-
sentative Of the Italian government who
had come over TO look after steerage pas
sengers
When the customs inspector went Oh
board the captain admitted that Otriano
was a member Of the crew. but said the
man had skipped. The Germania sailed,
and the customs inspectors believe the man
went on board
occhilupo is a cleaner employed by the

WATCH HILL WOULD sECEDE
Summer Residents Favor Form
ing Separate R. I. Town.
[Bv Telegraph to The Tribune.l

Watch Hill R. l.. July 11.-At meeting
Of the taxpayers of Watch Hill. held at
the Plimpton Hotel to-day, a number OF
well known New Workers and Phia-
delphians took the lead in a movement to
make an Independent political unit out of
the resort. separating it from the town of
Westerly. of which ii now forms part.
4 condition of affairs exists here now SINH
lar to the one which caused the setting
apart Of the town of Narragansett Pier
some years ago. and the summer colony is
aroused for the preservation of its rights.
There has been q feeling of frictien be-
tween Westerly and Watch Hill for a num-
ber Of years, as Watch Hin pays a greater
amount in taxes than the proportion of
money expended by the town on improve
ments at the resort. The dissatisfaction
among the summer colony reached a climax
when the Westerly town council gave the
local trolley road permission TO tear up the
roads in order TO lay new bed for its
tracks This has seriously handicapped
motor traffic but 1t has been determined
10 seek an injunction against the road if
it does any further damage. and this will
leave the traffic open between here and
New London or Newport.
The local taxpayers met to-day TO con-
slider the question. The policy Of the West
erlv town council was condemned and
resolution was passed censuting the town
officials Then the matter OF forming d
separate town was taken up. A committee,
consisting of A L. Dickson, as chairman,
the Rev DR.. s. D. Mcconnell and J, Frank
Champlin. was appointed to Investigate the
matter OF secession from Westerly. The
present plan Is to take Pleasant View,
Weekapaug and some of the other smaller
resorts on the immediate shore and form
an entirely new town, with its own govern
ment The summer colony is willing to
spend any reasonable amount Of money to
bring the desired result about, and some of
the best lawyers in the country will be re-
tanned to look up the matter.

erick Brooks, Eric b Dahlgren, William P.
