SECURITY BREWERY
Charges BIaise Suit Inspired by Rival
Brewery.

Declaring that George P. Blaise had
! associated himself with the American
Brewing Company, a corporation en-
gagged in competition with respondent,
for the purpose of furthering the inter
est of the said company to the detri-
ment of respondent, the Security
Brewing Company field its answer
recently in the United States District
| Court in the matter of Schumert &
Warfield ct al. VS.. the Security Brew
ing Company, an action to force the
latter company into involuntary bank
ruptcy.
The defendant admits that it owes
debts in excess of $1,000, but it denies
that it is insolvent or was insolvent on
April II, 1912, when it applied to the
Civil District Court on that date for
the appointment of a receiver. The
defendant admits that in the suit of
the Teutonia Bank and Trust Com
pany VS.. the Security Brewing Com
pany. that in the answer filed it ad-
mitted that the board Of directors of
the corporation had passed a resolu-
ton that said corporation was unable
to meet it's obligations as they ma
tured, and that a receiver was neces-
sary, but that said declaration did not
admit and was not intended to admit
that the Security Brewing Company
was insolvent. 1t is specifically de-
MED that receiver was appointed on
the ground of insolvency, but, on the
contrary, the defendant AYERS that the
receiver was appointed to facilitate the
conduct of the business and because
of the liquidation of the Teutonia
Bank and Trust Company, and on rep
resentation to the court that the cor
poration was perfectly solvent. De
PENDANT AYERS that the plaintiffs petit
ton is defective in that the requisite
number of creditors are not before the
court; that George P. Blaise, one OF
the creditors, was the secretary of the
defendant company, and that as such
an officer he was present and a party
, to the meeting of the directors which

ARRESTED ON SERIOUS CHARGE.

Three men will have quite a time
before the courts for the ugly affair
in the home of Mrs. Jessie Roussel, OF
619 Newton street, Friday morning,
for it is held that the place was robbed
and the lady, who is a widow keeping
a clearinghouse, was beaten and a
lamp was thrown at her and her bed
was almost demolished by William
Brown, known as Tad, of Pacific and
Eliza streets; James Foley, who has
just turned 10 years of age, Of AL Pa
cific avenue, a boilermaker, and Pen
rose Radovich, brakeman, of sos FL
mira avenue, according to the story Of
the police.
1t was about 5 o'clock when Mrs.
Roussel heard some one at the front
door. Suddenly the door was forced
and before the lady could scream for
help three men entered her bedroom.
The man she first recognized was Pen
rose Radovich, and he demanded to
know where a man by the name Of
Oser was. Oser was boarder in the
house, and had departed for his work.
Radovich, according to her story, said
that he and his companions wanted to
go to bed. Mrs. Roussel told them
that they had no right in the place,
and Brown, she says, grabbed a lamp
and threw it at her, and one Of the
other men, just who it was was not
made clear, though Mrs. Roussel is
quite convinced that it was Radovich,
slapped her face. She managed to get
to rear door and running out in the
street called for help. In that time
the doors of her armoir were taken
from their hinges and box with So
taken. The trio tried to pull the bed
into the yard and almost demolished
it.
The police arrested all Of the men,
who were fully identified. They were
charged with breaking and entering in
the daytime and petty larceny, and
charges of assault and battery will be
} made against those responsible for the
attack on Mrs. Roussel. Just what
prompted the affair is unknown, except
possibly the men were drinking,
though there is no charge to that eff.
feet, and the men enter a full denial
of the whole matter. They were
placed under bond. :

CHILD MAY BE GIVEN TO AUNT

Mary Vondersluice, the little 12-year-
old girl who ran away from the Poy-
dras asylum few days ago, and whom
detectives afterwards located at the
home of her aunt, Mrs. August Ger
rets, 401 Pacific avenue, will be called
before the Juvenile court Thursday
and it is possible that the child will
be given to the aunt.
The girl, it is said by the asylum
authorities, is one of the best children
in the institution, where she has been
for the past four years. She escaped
by jumping the fence one afternoon
and was not found until the following
day. The Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, which was in.
fiuential in placing her in the asylum
brought the child into court from her
aunt's shortly after her whereabouts
became known, and Judge Wilson, as
a matter of discipline, sent her bach
to the Poydras institution for a few
days, until the asylum board can NEE
and in conjunction with the court de
eide whether it will be to the child's
best interest to retain her or releas,
her to the aunt. =

senting this district. and in conjunc-
ton with Hon. +. Henning, was in
strumental in bringing about many
improvements in the school facilities
of our children: among them the
change of the McDonogh from col
ored TO a school for white children.
and thereby retaining it as Il most
beautiful site for the white people of
the neighborhood and increasing the
value of their property at least fifty
per cent; also the building of the
Belleville School Annex and the acqui-
sitiOn of additional Fairgrounds for
McDonogh No. 4. No two directors,
who preceded Mr.. Mahoney and Mr..
Henning on the board can show a bet
ter record.
Mr.. MahOney was personally instru-
mental in having the New Orleans
Chair Company locate its factory over
here, and during its existence, up to
the time of its destruction by fire, gave
employment to many Algiers people.
Another important matter in which
Mr.. Mahoney lent his services and
gave up much of his time was in the
matter of the differences, several years
ago, between the Garments Association
and the VI. l.. & +. Il. II. Co., espous-
| ing the cause of the Carmen before the
high officials of the railroad company
This matter is still fresh in the minds
of the members of the Garments Asso
citation and the people of Algiers, and
therefore needs no further explanation
here.
In fact during his residence here for
the past twenty-five years, Mr. Maho
ney has shown himself a public spir
tied citizen, contributing his time, his
money and his professional ability to
every cause, that needed it, whether
public or>private.
Having done so much for the district
and it's people without compensation
or hope of reward, he is now a candi
date for position with pay, which we
feel he is entitled to and We hope that
the voters of Algiers will consider his
claims superior to those of any oppos
ing candidate and give him their sup
port and votes for Judge of the Second
City Court on the 3rd day of Septem
Der, A ID. 1912.

George P. Blaise, in filing these pro-
