men CHARGED
WITH ASSAULT
One Has Fractured Skull,
Other is Stabbed.

AS the result of a fight that oc-
Cured at their home in Broadway,
near Church street, Tottenville,
about 7 o'clock last night John
Bezzick, t~wenty-nine years old, a
Hungarian laborer, is In st. Vincent
hospital with a fractured skull and
Joseph Kiefer, sixty years old, is
locked up in the Eightieth precinct
station, Stapleton, with a penetrat-
Ing wound in the left shoulder made
with a table fork. Both men are
prisoners and are charged with
felonious assault.
1t is said the fight started over
Kiefer of stealing from him. Bez-
zick told the police that Kiefer had
struck him on the head with a hat
Chef, inficting the wound. Kiefer
escaped but was caught later by
Patrolman Henry B. Winant and
brought to the Ninety-ninth precinct
station, T~ottenville. Both were at
tended by Dr.. J.. c. Donovan, of st.
Vincent's hospital, West New Brigh-
ton, at the station house, after which
Bezzick was taken to the hospital a
prisoner. Kiefer will be arraigned
In court today and will probably be
held to await the result Of Bezzick's
injury which is considered serious.
An operation will most likely have
to be performed as a piece Of the
skull is pressing on the brain. The
two men, as near as could be learn
ed, had lived together for some time.
Bezzick was employed at the Allan
tic Terra Gotta Company plant in
Broadway, and Kiefer, who also
worked at the same place for some
time, was working for a man named
Peterson laying concrete sidewalks.
They quarreled at supper time and
Kiefer says that Bezzick came up
from behind and stabbed him first
with a table fork.

Supreme Court District wherein
Chief Justice Breaux resides He
is engaged in the discharge of
his duties on the Bench, and can
not turn from those to meet the
canvass, which has been inaugu-
rated at this too early date, by
gentlemen who are ambitious to
succeed him. OF this we make no
issue; but we believe it proper
that the friends of Chief Justice
Breaux should meet the situation
as presented, and direct attention
of the voters to the fact that he
will be a candidate to succeed
himself. At the end of his term
he will have served twenty-four
years. The experience he has ac
quired is Of geat value to the It'll
gants whose causes appear before
the Supreme Court. He is hon
est, learned, Industrious, ana am
bilious to serve his people. What
.ood reason is there to suggest
the retirement of a member OF
the Supreme Court with such a
record? To do so in order to
glatify the personal ambitions OF

HON. JOSEPH A. BREAUX
Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State Of Louisiana.

"Native of her soil, the subject
of this sketch is descended on his
paternal side from the Acadians,
who left Canadian shores, the vic
tins of English rule, and brought
to Louisiana a type of citizenship
distinctive today as at the time
of their advent. They have furn-
ished to Louisiana in all the ave-
nues of life, distinguished sons,
whose names are part OF the
brighter history of the State. His
mother was of Irish descent. His
life would indicate that he ac-
centuates the better qualities OF
both nationalities.
He has shared in AN active man.

BOGALUSA AMERICAN EU-
LUGlIES JUDGE BkEAUA.

"Ihe term of the present Chlef
Justice OF the Supreme Court OF
Louisiana expires next year and
MS successor must be elected III
November, 1912. This means
primary for the selection OF that
successor. Judge Breaux Will De
a candidate to succeed himself.
1t is understood that there arc
many aspirants for the place. At
torney General Walter duion,
Judge Caillouet, Judge O'Neil, OF
Franklin and perhaps others.
Judge Breaux was first appointed
by Gov. Nichols, and then reap
pointed by Gov. Heard.
The law making Supreme Court
Judges elective was adopted al
ter his last appointment, and
this will be his first appearance
before the people asking for their
votes. In our opinion they ought
to be given to him. He has made
an upright, independent and hon.
orable Judge. lie has presided
over the court with dignity and
with impartiality. His relations
with the Bar and with his BROTH
! er Judges have been admirable.
No whisperings of any unseemily
chickering's between him and his
associates have ever came from
the consultation room. az unfort-
anately have came in other cas-
es. He is profoundly versed in
the civil law and can read it in
its sources which many Of our
, Judges cannot do. II elected
again, he will have the right to
retire before his term expires,
and the people of Louisiana ought
to be glad Of the opportunity
to 'bestow this privilege upon a
man who has served them az long
and as faithfully as the Honora-
BILE Joseph 4. Breaux. We shall
rejoice to Zee him enjoy his

Offices are made for the service of
the people and not as resting pla-
ces for individuals. The common
interests suggest that men should
be selected for positions of trust
and honor because of their espe-
clal fitness and not for other con-
slderatlons. This is particularly
applicable to the qualifications OF
a judge of the Supreme Court.
1t is .encumbent upon him NOS
only to be a man of unsullied
character, butt Of superior legal
attainments. The greater these
qualifications are, the more emf
nent is the service received from
the public servant.
The long years Of judicial ex-
perience which are added to the
legal attainments of the Chief
Jus ice, render his services Of
pre-eminent value to the State,
and what good reason can there
be for refusing to accept the con-
tinuance Of those services, in or
der to install one of lesser expe.
rience, if indeed not devoid of it
at all, however eminently quail
fed his succ essOr might otherwise
be.
Some suggestion has been made
that he will be entitled to retire
ment because he will have attain
ed the age of seventy-five shortly
before the expiration of his term.
The question of age bears no
weight where age has brought no
weakness, and is rather CON-
mendation when it has given a
man of mental and physical
strength, "a store Of experience
which is treasure house to those
whom he serves. There are still
years of active usefulness prom
ised Justice Breaux and we must
feel assured that he will be to the
Supreme Bench Of this State what
the distinguished Justice Harlan
was to the Supreme Bench of the
United States, tower OF strength
long after he will have marked
four score and more years.
We feel every assurance that
the people Of this section will be
loyal in their support to him.

henceforth as the governor-elect
and entitled 10 the loyal and
united support Of all good Demo-
Gratis, no matter what may have
been their factional differences

The meeting Of the Democratic
state central committee was In
every way harmonious, and after
the result of the primary had
been declared Judge Hall was in

which he did in an appropriate
and manly way. expressing his
qualification at the many mani
festations of good feeling since
the primary and the prompt pas
sing away of whatever factional
bitterness and rancor the cam
paign may have engendered. He
voiced the sentiment that all
were Democrats, devoted to the
best interests of the great State
of Louisiana, and that notwith-
standing the contest recently
waged within the party, 1T is now
incumbent upon all alike to labor
together "to the end that our
government may be conducted ac-
cording to true Democratic
ideals. +"
Tn concluding his remarks,
Judge Hall said: ~ shall no.
enter upon the discharge of the
duties of the Office as candi-
date for any other Office, and It
will not be my purpose or desire
to employ the powers entrusted
to me to build up any faction

factional differences. My sole
aim and ambition will be to be
the governor for the whole people
and as a faithful public servant
to do my duty to them as it may
be given me to see and under
stand it. +"

Democratic views call for full In
dorsement and justice requires
