THE SELSOR CASE
The Defendant Is Granted a New
Trial.

The Supreme Court of Louisiana has
granted a new trial in the case of the
State VS.. ]. W. Scissor, who was repre-
sented by Hon. NJ. c. Elstner. Scissor
was convicted of the violation of the
prohibition law. The evidence against
Linn was circumstantial. As fact, he
was not connected with the selling al
though it was alleged that he was in the
building and had knowledge of the sale.
The contention was that the defend
ant had been denied bill of particulars
as to how and when the sale was made,
etc. The Court held that the accused
having been denied the benefit of the

CONTRACTS ANNULLED
Supreme Courts Decision Is Against
the City i'll the Paving Suits.

The decision of the Supreme Court,
sitting in New Orleans yesterday, Jus
tice Land being the organ of the court,
rendered an opinion which annuls the
contracts of the city with several parties
for paving streets. In the District Court
the case, tried before Judge T. ?. Bell,
was decided in favor of the city
The case is knoRn and designated as
J. w Bell ct al VS.. City of Shreveport.
The gist of the decision is submitted on
syllabus is that under the provisions of
Act No. 10 of 1896, empowering cities
ITO improve streets and alleys and to levy
special taxes on abutting real estate and
railroads, the paving material must be
selected by the council before bids are
invited, and the bids must be for cash.
Where by a vote of the taxpayers a
city council was authorized to levy spe-
cial taxes an dto issue negotiable bonds
for paving purposes, the insertion in the
submission ordinance of a provision
that the bonds may be negotiated for
work, does not affect the validity of the
bond issue.
The city is restrained from disposing
of its bonds except by sale for cash ac-
cording to law. The defendants are to
pay the costs in both courts.
Following the decision there may be
suits involving the cost of the paving oi
alleys and streets contracted by the city

CHIEF OF POLICE
Capt E. 0. Allen Has Resigned to Ac-
cept More Desirable and Permanent
Position.

When Capt E. O. Allen accepted the
position of chief of police, the depart
ment of which is under the direction of
Judge S. c. Fullilove, councilman and
Superintendent of Public Safety, it was
with the understanding that his engage
ment would be for term of six months.
1t was his privilege to resign at any
time OH giving sufficient notice of such
intention. This explanation is in order
for the reason that there Is being direct
ed an effort to discredit Judge Fulii1ove
which, if possible, would be aggravated
by the statement of the resignation of
Detective Wheeler and fatroirna11 Me
kennon. 1t will not be questioned that
Chief Allen has fully sustained the de-
claration by law-abiding citizens that the
law could be enforced in Shreveport 1t
may be true that when chief of police
under the mayor and fifteen counci1men
system that he was restrained to con-
servatism in operating against the vio-
lators of the prohibition law, but he has
had full scope for action under the pres
ent system, and he has not failed to de-
monstrate that the law, which hereto
fore had been held i'll ridicu1e and con-
tempt, could be enforced as vigorously
and as we'll as the laws and ordinances
which are violated. In this demonstra-
tion of the enforcement of law full
credit is due Chief Allen.
In severing his relations with the po-
lice department Chief Allen is actuated
by personal interest, the substance of
which is that he has secured position
more lucrative and desirable and one
which is permanent There has been no
friction between Chief Allen and Judge
Fulli1ove, nor with any one connected
with the police or any of the depart
ments of the commission form of gov
ernment.
The resignation of Chief Allen will
become effective on Thursday next, De
cember IS, when he will be in the en-
ploy of the Kansas City Southern. He
is assured of the good wishes of his
friends who are numbered from all the
classes of the people Even some of the
law-breakers respect him, if they do moi
love him.
In this connection it may be stated au.
thoritatively that Lieutenant Lucar ant
Superintendent Ful1ilove will divide tht
duties of chief between them, with Lieu
tenant Lucar holding the title He will
have the day watch. The now Secone
Lieutenant Geren will be the only lieu
tenant, and Lucar will help him. Gerei
| is to have the night watch.
1t is intended, with the money savet
| by this change, to add another patrol
man to the department.
The department as it is, under tn
control of Superintendent Fullilove, i
progressing satisfactorily. 1t is beiny
maintained with reasonable discipline
and the men in the service are efficien
and content, which is the result of re
lieving the department from the inhu
ence of politics, as is the fire department
where manliness and good citizenship
are the requirements essential for fav
orable consideration.
