solicit in any manner whatever or re-
ceive any contribution of money or
any other thing of value for any po-
litical purpose whatever" Part of
Act of Congress, adopted January 16,
1888.
Information as to violation of the
above rule has been filed with the de-
partment of justice in Washington.
The violation is charged to Henry
Lincoln johnson of Atlanta Ca, reg
ister of deels at the national capital,
an appointee of President Taft, and
one of the four Taft delegates at
large from Georgia to the republican
presidential convention in Chicago
next June.
Conviction for violation of this act
entails a fine or imprisonment, or
both, in the discretion of the judge.
During recent visit of johnson
to Atlanta, when he went to swing
the Georgia delegation into the Taft
column, he entered the postmaster's
office and called upon Postmaster
Mckee for a contribution to the cam

you"
Postmaster Mckee declined to agree
to a contribution of any kind and af-

the section of the act of 1888, made
it known to the postmaster that he

Lassalle-..

Joseph Leo Lassalle. son of
our esteemed citizen, MI. Jos.
Lassalle, stood under a lucky
star the past week.
Not only was he appointed
Professor of Physics in the Uni
versity of the Philippines, but
he took with him to his PARKWAY
home one of st. Landry's fairest
daughters, Miss Aline Josephine
Mistric, daughter Of Mr.. Pierre
Mistric.
The wedding occurred last
Monday, the 10th, at Leonville,
and the couple left the same day
for San Francisco, from which
place they will sail for the Philip
pines to-day, the 25th.
The date of the happy event
had not been set, and it is prob
able that it would
not have occurred for some
months to come, but the sudden
appointment of Prof. Lassalle to
a Philippine post fastened the
date.
The Clarion wishes the young
couple unalloyed happiness.

is a school built here.
