the ballot box at one of the polls in that

Might Have Been Serious.

Johnnie and Eddie Schaff, well-known
young tinsmiths of this city, met with an
accident last Thursday afternoon which
might have resulted seriously, but which
fortunately was not attended by any UNI
toward consequences They were erecting
galvanized iron cornice On the one-story
Bank of Vacherie building at Vacherie.
and were standing on scaffold suspended
about fourteen feet from the ground, when
without warning the plank broke in the
middle. Johnnie Schaff was precipitated
to the ground with great force, falling on
his back and sustaining severe Commissions
and bruises. Eddie Schaff managed to
honk bis finger around wooden arm
which projected from the building ard
hung by this precarious hold for moment
or two, then dropping 10 the ground He
hurt his right foot in the fall, but by
great good fortune neither he nor his
brother we're seriously injured and after
pulling themselves together and taking an
account of the damage wrought they were
able to rig up another scaffold and resume
their work. The accident might easily
have been attended by more disastrous
if not with fatality. and
1t is with genuine thankfulness to
divine Providence that the many friends
OF the popular young gentlemen are con-
graduating them upon their escape from
severe injury.

F. j. Rybiski. who was employed by
Mayor Charles Maurin to eompile census

completed his count and announces the
following figures:
First ward-White, 500; colored, 302;
males, 800; females, 421. total, 81.

Grand totals White, 241O; colored, 203l;

The figures given out by Mr.. Rybiski
prove the inaccuracy of the census taken
few months ago by the United States
enumerators, whose compilation gave the
city population Of only 1880. A special
census taken under the supervision Of the
municipality about two years ago showed
the population to 5027. MIR. Rybiski made
a careful house to-h house canvass, and
there is no doubt that his enumeration is
absolutely accurate and represents the bona
fde population of the city at this time.
A. B. Ledoux, formerly local representa-
tive of the Baton Rouge Coca Cola Com

field manager of the Knoll Company's

spending the week in DonaldsonvilIe with

INVASION OF POPULAR RIGHTS
REBTKED.

During the campaign preceding the
November election in the parish Of Iber-
vile, where bitter factional fight among
Democrats is going on pretty much all the
time. mandamus suit was filed against
the registrar of voters based on the al
legation that he not only persisted IN
keeping his office in a livery stable in
stead of the courthouse. in violation of
law, but that he assumed the arbitrary
prerogative Of refusing registration to
qualified applicants and denying citizens
the right TO examine his official records,
although it is plainly required by iegisla-
tive enactment that 1.-THE books, papers
and records shall, at all times, be open to
inspection by the public.
After trial in the local district court
judgment was rendered directing the
registrar to remove his office to the court
house as soon as room therefor was
supplied by the police jury, but otherwise
rejecting REALTORS demand.
Notwithstanding an attempt to prevent
further proceedings by bringing factiona!
and personal influence to bear upon the
original complainant to abandon and re-
quest dismissal of the suit that sought to
enforce his right of registration, the mat
ter was carried into the supreme court OF
the state. and that tribunal righteously
rebuked the glazing disregard of law and
fragrant invasion of popular rights in a
decree that sets forth the following facts
and conclusions:
The evidence shows that since January
I, 1909, the respondent has kept his Office
in his livery stable. He has never applied
to the police jury for room in the court
house. Act No. SO of 1903, Sec. %, pro-
vides that the registrar shall keep his Of
fee at the courthouse Sec. ~, Of the
same act, provides that the books, pa
pers and records in the offices of each
.egistrar throughout the state shall, at all
lines. be open to inspection by the pub
~ QAl0 SOP1IO VI Liz Sc1tliC may OI plU-
cured, provided same does not interfere
with registration.
The judgment below tacitly licenses
he use Of respondents livery stable as
lis office until such time as the police
ury shall have equipped and furnished
IN Office in the courthouse for the use of
he respondent. 1t is obvious that the
mandate Of the law forbids the registrar
rom keeping his Office elsewhere.
Applications for registration are re-
luired by the constitution and laws of
his state as prerequisite for registration.

An application for registration is as
