SHELL ROAD
TO AB|1A
A Much Discussed Subject
of Great Interest.
Property Holders Willing to
Contribute in Proportion
To Value of Property Along
the Road to be Shelled.
Matter to be Taken Up and
Put Through if Possible.

For some time past the question
of shelling the public road from
Covington to Abita Springs has been
seem to be any dissenting from the
opinion that the shelling of this road
would be a paying proposition for
every property holder on it, and that
as a mere business venture it would
bring good returns for the outlay. A
few individuals have interested them
selves in the matter so far as to
secure some subscriptions, but there
has been no organized and systematic
plan worked out for its accomplish
ment. AS popular idea, the UNDER
taking seems on the face of it to
have every appearance of a success
full venture. Marshal Oalman, Of
Abita Springs, who has interviewed
good many citizens of that town
has secured some subscriptions. The
town of Abita would no doubt con-
tribute, among it's citizens, quite a
helpful sum, and Covington citizens
ought also be willing to stand their
share of expense, especially owners
Of automobiles and carriages who
are constantly travelling the road. Mr.
Herman Schultz, police juror for the
Third Ward, is also much interested,
and if the people show that they are
in earnest in the matter and are will
ing to do something more than talk,
he will see that the parish does it's
share.
We understand that interested
parties who realize the value such a
road would be to the people of Gov
ington and Abita Springs will take
the matter in hand, and that Mr..
Schultz will be aided in carrying out
the project.

less inconvenienced than some who
were accustomed to that kind of
travel. The trip back from Coving-
ton, where the Colonel went to in
spect some of the dredging work that
was being done in the Tchefuncta
River, was made in automobiles, and
the Colonel took the train at Abita
Springs.
Colonel Beach won the hearts of
the Abita people while he was here,
and whether he makes a favorable
report or not, they will always feel
that he is square, upright gentle
man. While he prefers a glass of
pure spring water to something
stronger, he was SO thoroughly demo-
cratic and congenial that our people
will look forward with pleasure to
the time when he may come back
and make tour of inspection of our
country by that slow but sure and
satisfactory means-a mule and
buggy.

LOADED PISTOL IN PRESENCE OF
GIRL; THREATENED HER.
Young Bogalusan Complains to Po-
lice Against Spaniard.

Patrolman Raggie told an inter-
esting story while testifying in the
Second Recorders Court Tuesday
against a Spaniard named Joseph
Rocha He arrested Rocha on a
complaint of a young lady named
Katie Sullivan, and locked him up
for disturbing the peace. On the
charge he was fined IS or thirty days
by Assistant Recorder Crimen.
Patrolmen Raggio said:
81 was in company with Patrolman
Puega at the Terminal Depot Monday
evening, and upon the arrival of the
6:10 train very pretty young wo-
man, apparently about twenty-five
years of age, approached me in an
excited and nervous condition.
''She gave her name as Kate Sulli-
van, and said that she came from
Bogalusa, where boarded the train,
and was on her way to Slidell, La,
where she intended getting off, but
was prevented by Rocha, who threat
ened her life.
"It appears that Rocha, who had
been working with Miss Sullivan in
restaurant in Bogalusa, boarded
and took a seat beside her, when
Rocha drew a revolver and began
loading it in the presence, of Miss
Sullivan and other persons in the
coach.
He then asked her where she was
going, and she told him to Slidell,
when he protested and declared that
unless she came to New Orleans and
married him that ne would kill her.
"She told me-" continued the Of
ticer, that she was too much afraid
tc get off the train at Slidell, and
that her baggage had been left, as
she checked it for that station before
boarding the train at Bogalusa, and
showed the two checks.
"The woman further declared that
young man On the train who over
heard the threats of Rocha volun-
teered to escort her from the train,
but that she was afraid to accept,
as Rocha had declared that if she
accepted he would kill them"
The woman was taken into custody
by a member of the Travellers Aid
Society, and the man was taken in
custody by the police. 1t is under
stood that she was returned to Slidel

be the usual one, starting from the mile
point at the Three Sisters and finishing

very interesting plan for the many
events. which will include races in eight
cared shells, four-oared shells, single
sculls, double sculling working boats and
every variety of canoe contest known to
the devotees of this delightful aquatic
adjunct.
The eight-oared race will be a picked

There are q great many of the Blue and
Gray alumni who would undoubtedly like
to see the university represented in the
big regattas. but experience has taught
that the drain on the athletic finances is
too heavy and that it is almost an i'm
possibility for the school to put out sue
cessful crews, eights that can compete
on even terms with the big universities
which foster rowing as a major sport.
For these two reasons 1t Is probable that
1t has been decided to do away with the

KLAUS BEATS THOMPSON.
Cyclone" Almost Out at End Of
Seventh and Ninth Rounds.

NEW YORK, August 1S.-Cyclone
Johnny Thompson was eliminated last
night as q serious contender for the
American middleweight title by Frank
Klaus of Pittsburgh. The men fought ten
slashing rounds at the National Sporting
Club Of America. and there was only one
opinion at the finish-Klaus won all the
way.
1t was only Thompson's bulldog tactics
and clinching that saved him from
knockout In the seventh and ninth rounds.
He was sent to his corner, bleeding and
groggy, at the end OF each Of these
rounds Klaus was overanxious. missed
many right-hand blows which were label
ed dreamland. and also allowed Thomp-
son to run into a clinch whenever the
latter was in danger, instead of side
stepping out Of the way.
There were two interested spectators at
last nights bout. Seated i'm a balcony
box directly overlooking the ring were
Honest John Kelly and Tommy Ryan OF
Syracuse. the latter one OF the most elu-
sive middle eweigflts who ever stepped into
a ring. Ryan's face was a study as the
men mauled each other around the ring.
Once he could not refrain yelling. why
don't they feint occasionally?" The inter-
rogation brought down the house. The
gusted Ryan. who could not help but
dream OF other days. when science count

LIVERPOOL. Eng, August 1S.-Free
scoring characterized the first innings OF
the Germantown Cricket Club in their
match with the Gentlemen of Liverpool
here yesterday. Featuring their innings

when the days play came to a close the

wickets in doing so. The Gentlemen
were only able to amass III runs in their
first venture against the bowling of
O Neill. who took six wickets for 6S
runs.
With two. wickets in hand Germantown
holds lead of 247 runs and looks to be
in a very good position. The general

The Georgetown University boat
house will be sold today. The rumor
that the float used by the crews in
the past would be disposed OF this at
ternoon leaked out yesterday. although
the names of the contracting parties
have not been made known. 1t is al
most certain, though, that tire buyer
is connected with one OF the prominent
boat clubs in the city. Last winter.
when 1T was decided that a crew was
not to be placed in competition this
spring, the float was towed across the
river and tied UP under the shore to
protect it from the ice. 1t has not
been used since that time.
The fact that the house which has been
used year after year at Georgetown and
which has been kept up during the off
years when rowing was not fostered rs
q significant one. when 1t Is considered
that rowing as sport was temporarily
abolished last wipter. This would cause
It to seem that the authorities have just
about decided that the university cannot
afford to keep a crew in competition and
do justice to the other branches Of ath-
letics at the same time.
