A POLITICAL CRIME UNPRECED
ENTED

From New Orleans Is reporter Tic
disappearance of about sixty thous-
and registration certificates which
were placed in the vault of the reg
istrar of voters, located in the City
Hall of that city. =
The discovery of the theft on
being made Tuesday morning by L.
Z. Leche, recently appointed by Gov
Sanders as the successor of w. E.
Ball, was given immediate publicity
and Mr.. Ball, late registrar OF vo-
tiers on being advised of the abstrac-
ton of these documents, expressed
the greatest surprise and indignat-
ion.
BY whom and in whose interest
have these certificates been pur-
loined2 aaaN.
Think of sixty thousand registra-
ton certificates and the size of the
package, or package enclosing
them, u hen distracted from the
vault of the registrars office in the
City Hall in New Orleans and there
is no clue to the perpetrator OF
the deed?
It is reasonable to conjecture that
the motive in removing these off
eial documents is to shield mum
Der of individuals and to make their
trial impossible, on the charge oil
the violation of the primary election
law, in that they called for assist
once from the commissioners OF
election, when they voted, whereas
they were registered under tn edu-
cational clause and therefore were
qualified TO vote without assistance.
1t has been held judieially, on a
test case of recent date tried in New
Orleans that the voters who
on being qualified under
the educational clause who has call
ed on a commissioner for assistance
in making out his ticket has violated
the law and on conviction will be
assessed the penalty for such of
Tense as may be provided within the
discretion of the Judge.
In the city of New Orleans crimes
against suffrage, until recently
have been regarded as jokes by the
class who have profited pecuniarily
and from the emoluments of office
from such rascality, but the end Of
these fragrant frauds has been
reached and will not longer be toll
Grated.
Unquestionably the abstraction OF
these registration certificates is one
of the boldest of the political crimes
credited to the gang in New Orleans
and it devolves on the citizens Of
New Orleans, as we'll as the Off
Gals to secure the arrest and con
viction Of the individuals who are
and who may have been connected
directly or indirectly, in this political
crime, which should bring the blush
of shame To the face Of every self
respecting citizen Of the city of New
Orleans irrespective of his political
views.
This theft is one of the boldest per-
petrated to protect political offend
ers who have deliberately trans
crossed the law demands the met
ing Of full handed Justice, regardless
Of who may be the criminals.

THE PEPLuM BLOUSE
WILL Be POPULAR
Fashion Designers Are Pushing
This New Style Of Waist.

The peplum blouse has found much
favor with designers and is now bios

tailor mades to the costly creations of
chiffon and lace intended to accompa-

and Importance.
The peplum Is always comparatively
short, but 1t differs radically from the
tiny frin below very high wasted
girdle, which was the FIRST style In this
sort OF thing in bodices.
Frequently the peplum is merely q
rounded or pointed tab in front, ap-
pearing not at all OH the sides and in
the back. Or It is in evidence both In
the front and In the back. but not on
the sides.

tab reaching quite across the front OF
the skirt.
Arrangements of this kind are best
carried out in the transparent stufs,
although the French designers have
sent over silk blouses handsomely EN-.
broidered and with the peplum tab Of
the embroidered silk continuing the de-
sign Of an embroidered front.
A fat fichu collar of lace girdled at
the normal waist line or a little above
and so disposed as to form single
point below the waist line is used on
some of the imported frocks. The
same idea has been developed by the
blouse designers. Handsomely EN-.
