STATE Law ON KIDNAPPING
There Is no Law in Louisiana Against
kidnapping a Man.
N.v,D.p.r Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Opelousas, La.-Explaining the ood
character of the Louisiana avs
against KIDNAPPING, relative to which
numerous questions have been asked
since the Walters case has come II all
issue. R. Lee Garland, district attor-
ney, said:
"There were originally two laws
against kidnapping. One provided Tor
the case Of kidnapping a boy, the other
for KIDNAPPING a man. After the La
mana case at New Orleans there was
general public demand that a penalty
for KIDNAPPING a child be made heavier.
The legislature following, to meet the
situation, passed the present statute
prescribing death Or life Imprisonment
as the penalty. That act. of course
amended and repealed the preceding
one by special reference, but inserting
this amendment and repeating clause
the mistake was made OF naming tint
act providing for kidnapping a man in
stead of that providing for kidnaplns
q child.
.The result is that we have on tn
statute books two laws providing TO
kidnapping of a child and none agains
KIDNAPPING a man.
kidnapping a man is therefore NO
q crime in this state.
"The statute making kidnapping
child a capital offense was passed b
the legislature in 1910. Bobbie Dul
bar was kidnapped in 1912"

MAKES A PROTEST
AGAINST NEGROES
FoRTY.TWO OUT OF FlFTY-F'Ve
SUBSTITUTE NEW ORLEANS
CARRIERS ARE coLoRED.
r....,n N.~s,aner Union News Service.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.--A singing protest was
made to the Post Office Department
by Representatives Estopinal n pu-
pre- against the appointment by roo
master Leonhardt Of negroes 10 d.
substitute letter carriers at New VI
leans. They made it to First AS
sistant Postmaster General Roper.
The charges are that there na'e
been an unusually large number OF SUD-
stitute carriers appointed lately, 'hefe
being no fewer than IS on the SUD-
stitute list. Forty-two OF them are
negroes. In the last 20 appointments
% have been negroes and only seven
white men. 1t is further charged
that of the sever white men onereo
amendments, four have asked to have
their appointments held up for no rea'
son other than that they object to pe'
ing nut down to the level OF the ne
groes.
The congressman especially ob]ectec
because letter carriers are the NM
that connects the Federal government
with the people who pay the cost O
maintaining the government; ina
these carriers come into direct contac'
with the householders, and especial!
the women, and for that reason the.
are especially obnoxious in the pos
tions to which Postmaster Leonard
has appointed them.
The observation is made that i
seems strange that during a Demo
cratic administration such an oVe'
whelming preference should be show
for negroes. The congressman do nc
like the tendency shown by sucn al
continents and they desired to go 9
record as opposed to any such poht
cal recognition Of the negro race.
The probabilities are that this pr.
test will be referred to the Inspector
now investigating the New Orleans Q
flee, for a report on the subject.
