sCHooNER's HOLD FULL OF FISH
Not a Soul on BOard--5afIling Mys.
terry OF the Sea.

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 6.-The
faded, yellow pages OF the logbooks
Of the New Bedford whaling fleet
fail to record a mystery Of the sea
more battling than that presented to-
day when the revenue cutter Gresh-
am towed into port the Gloucester
fishing schooner, Annie NJ. Parker,
which was picked up Monday with all
sails set, her hold filled with fish and
without a soul on board, GO miles
east of the Nantucket lightship.
There is no trace Of any Of the nine
teen men composing the schooners
crew
In it's details the mystery recalls
the case Of the Boston brig Marie
Celeste, which was found abandoned
at sea some forty years ago. The
fate Of her crew never was known
to the world.
The British steamer Astrakhan,
bound from New York for France,
sighted the Parker Monday drifting
with all sails set Boarding the
schooner, officers of the steamer
found four of the dories missing A
few burned pieces Of bread was all
the food in the galley, indicating
that before leaving the crew had has
tily gathered together a supply of
provisions.
The schooner was not leaking and
was in perfect condition, except for
the loss Of one jib. Salt fish, valued
at about $4,000, filled the hold.
\ prize crew from the Astrakhan
took charge of the Parker and turn
ed her over to the Gresham
The Parker's owners said she sail
ed from Sydney, n. S., for her home
port October 26, after fishing trip
to the New Foundalnd Grand Banks.
She was in command Of Capt. Vim
cent Nelson, veteran Gloucester
skipper, and was manned by a crew
Of eighteen. The owners could offer
no explanation Of the abandonment
OF the vessel. There is a possibility
that the Parkers crew was picked
up by some sailing vessel Had they
been taken on board a steamer the
rescue probably would have been re-
ported by wireless.

Senator Tillman Sets Noble Task for
John l.. McLauIin.

Washington, Nov. 2.-That John
l.. McLaurin, as a pennance due the
people of South Carolina, undertake
TO destroy Dleaseism, is suggested
by Senator Tillman in a statement
which he has issued i'm reply to
charges made by Mr.. McLaurin in
his recent speech before a gathering
of Blease followers in Columbia. Mr.
Tillman says that If McLaurin will,
he can destroy Bleaseism better than
any other man in the State, and that
he (Senator Tillman) will help
him. Mr.. Tillman's statement is as
follows:

WOULDN'T BE SHAVED.
Some Excitement at Centenary -
Two Boys Slightly Wounded

At the Centenary College there
were two boys, students of the SEN
ior class, who had been singled for a
half shave Thursday night, which
eliminated in F. M. Brown. Jr., of
Shreveport being shot in. the fleshy
part of the hip and J. ID. Robertson
of Jena, being cut slightly over the
knee. AS reported, Brown was shot
accidentally by E. l.. Wilmington
senior, whose pistol dropped ac-
cidentally exploded one shot. 1t is
not known how or by whom Robert
son was cut. The scheme was to
half shave the head of two students,
but this query is pertinent: Why
should any student have abolt him
or with him or about his person the
handy and the ready pistol.
Hazing at best should be con
demned. 1t is not courageous nor
manly feat for the many to plan to
assault and perpetuate an outrage
on one or two who being surprised
and overwhelmed can not defend
themselves. In this case the uneS-
pected occurred and the intended
victims escaped the haif-shave pro-
grammed for them.

NEGROES IN OFFICE.
In the Federal Employment There
Are Over 22.500-SOme OF These
Are the Heads Of Departments and
OF Divisions i'm Washington, ID. c.

The Caucasian has been advised
by circular of the National Demo-
cratic Fair Play Association of the
United States that there are over
22,50O negroes in the Federal en-
ployment drawing about St2,5OO, 900
per annum. These negroes work In
the same rooms and at the same ta-
bles with the white employees, while
negroes are in charge of bureaus,
divisions or offices, under whom
white men, white girls and white
women work and from whom they
are compelled to take orders and
directions which are given fire.
quently with the characteristic au-
dacity of the ''nigger" unrestrained
and vested with official recognition.
This condition is the result of the
domination of the Republicans, en-
trenched in power for twenty years
or more, whose triumphs at national
elections until the defeat of Taft
and Roosevelt by Woodrow Wilson
have been secured through the
votes of the negroes in the several
States of the North where they hold
the control, for instance, Ohio, Illi-
nois and Indiana.
1t is under the "civil service" as
devised by Republican authorl. y
that these negroes hold office and
are equalized with white men and
white girls and white women, who,
being dependent on their wage, sub
nit to the sneers and the orders OF
these negroes in preference to losing
their employment.
The all important issue Of today is
whether this system is to be longer
tolerated under Democratic adj
ministration. TO the great millions
Of the people this eondition'as it ex-
lists at Washington is a shocking
revelation, which must give away to
a system that will segregate the Of
fetal niggers at the head of bureaus
divisions and offices and have white
men to succeed them.
: As is well said in this circular OF
the Democratic Fair Play Assocla-
ton:
"Sueh forced affiliation and COM
PEELED association of the races are
antagonistic to every feeling of del
icacy, purity and morality, therefore
it follows that such a system is I'M
democratic, un-American and un-
Christian"
! AS the Democrats are in full con-
troll of the affairs of the govern
ment, it becomes their duty to de-
/ wise and to enforce a system that
! will operate in the exclusion OF ne
groes from holding offices of inn
portance and responsibility in the
service of the government.
There are unquestionably enough
white men in the United States te
fill every Office OF the Federal gov
ernment without the niger.

The Closing Of Twelve Mile Bayou


The agitation arising over the
closing of Twelve Mile Bayou has
reached the stage which suggests
that action should follow the petit
ton of the citizens which is to be
submitted to the Caddo Levee Board
at their next meeing.
The authority for the closing of
this stream has been granted by the
War Department. The closing OF
the stream is desired by the greatest
majority of the people, especially
by. the residents and the land own
ers of the north end of CaddO Par
ish, Who would derive direct benefit.
Besides, the closing of this stream
would defect the waste from the
Caddo oil field into the Red River
and would protect the water supply
of Shreveport which is menaced
from the impurities and the waste
mentioned. +
The closing of this stream would
lead to the reclaiming Of thousands
of acres of land for cultivation.
II may be said in brief that from
whatever view or angle taken, it is
apparent that this stream should be
closed without unnecessary delay.
II is believed that the Caddo Leyee
Board will so beside when they con-
vene at an early day. J

NEW YORK, March 6.--(Special to
The Advertiser)-The stock market
continued today on its uncertain COURSE
of the week. which has been marked by
alternating periods of strength and
weakness. Following yesterdays ad.
vance, traders sold stocks today and the
prices were depressed one to two points,
n some instances, with larger losses for
a number of specialties.
Bear operators sought to make CAPT
tai out of the poor showing of the
Bank of England in the weekly state
ment, which emphasized unfavorably
monetary conditions abroad. Little at
tention was paid to the satisfactory
condition published by number of
middlewestern railroads, or to the evil
dence of prosperous conditions in the
steel industry.
Sentiment was bearish, although
trading was confined almost entirely to
the professional element.
Bonds were easy.
