THE POLL TAX
Paid in Caddo Parish Will approximate
Forty Eight Hundred.

The poll tax for 1910 paid to Decem-
Der 81, 1910, will approximate about
1890 for Caddo parish, including the
city of Shreveport. There is discrep-
ancy over last year of about Goo, which
is due to the fact that many negroes in
the parish who have been paying this
tax have refrained from qualifying as
voters. To this number may be added,
possibly, hundred who should have
qualified but who did not. Excepting
these, all citizens enStled to vote have
qualified, and with the citizens exempted
from the tax owing to their age, sixty
years being the limit, the voting lists will
reach about 5000 voters.

At CONFESSION
HIRSH TELLS HOW 1T HAPPENED
AND NOW FACES GRAND
JURY CHARGE.

because Harry Hirsh did not obey
the instruction of his counsel. Gilbert
Pollock, he now faces Indictment by
the grand jury on the charge of grand
larceny.
For the past three months. up to a
few days ago, Hirsh was employed
py Ihalhimer Brothers to do light car
penter work about their big depart
ment store In Broad street
Last Monday night when Detective
oergeants Wren and Wiltshire were
on DUTY in the segregated district they
saw Hirsh with peddlers outfit ented
a mouse occupied by negroes. They
followed him and found him trying
10 dispose OF a lot of gloves to wo-
men. They placed him under arrest,
on spite of his protestations that he
was nothing but poor peddier.
Next day the gloves. fifty-seven
pairs. were identified by Mr.. Moses
Ihaihimer as goods from his store,
"A warrant was obtained In the Hem
rico county court to search the home
or Hirsh in Highland Park Here the
detectives found merchandise which
Mr.. Talhimer valued at $lo7.

faced only IA possible conviction for
petty larceny. He retained Gilbert

Mr.. Talhimer felt sorry for his
former employee. He felt so bad that

that If he would only confess to his
m1sdoings that perhaps the court
might deal leniently with him H.rsh
broke down. cried and confessed. Mr.
Talhimer, being attended by two cd
three deputies had witnesses to the
confession.
S'ill. the confession did NOT estab-
lish the fact that Hirsh was guilty of
more than petty larceny. II Ii could
De shown that he had taken the goods
all at once, that would be evidence Of
grand larceny. but IL he had taken
them piece meal IL would not be- other
than so many counts of petty larceny.
No doubt Mr.. Talhimer was not
aware of this when he asked Hirsh
II he had taken the goods all at once.
On his reply rested whether ITirsh

CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OF MAGNArEs

That the arm of justice has been materially
strengthened by the Standard OH and Tobacco
Trust decisions seems certain. These organiza-
tions. by reason of vast resources and weilnieh
unlimited power, have not failed, II the language
of the court means anything. to take all possible
advantage of weak competitors. Their methods
have been those OF the blackfag-their warfare
cruel that of the untutored savage-their
object the determination of their business rivals
Few will believe that, with the use of such meth.
DDS and with object so well-deined and so
clearly attained, tho men responsible for the
policies of these trusts have kept within such
bounds call for no further action on the part
Of the government than the dissolution of the
organizations We do not. advocate harsh meg
sures, but If the law has been violated those
guilty of its infraction should be brough, to
the bar OF justice. The malefactor OF great
wealth should not be permitted to escape the
hands of tardy justice. If crime has been COM
mtted by the members of these trusts there
should be no quibbling about prosecutions The
