SAYS GERMAN WHO
 SANK LUSI1ANlA IS NOW INSANE
Dutch Wyiter Declares the Commander of Srbmarin;
 Scorned in German Navy.

Paris. Dee. GA. de Shit, a Dutch newspapcc writer, who has just made trip through Germany, says in the s Petit Parisien that the commander of the German submarine which sank tho Lusitania is now under treatment in sanitarium at Kiel having bsen affected by the open scorn shown him throughout the German navy.
 De Shit says further that the sink ing of tho Lusitania was disapproved by the navy and approved by the army. The German seamcn con- demned tho act. One naval officer said that the Lusitania sinking, in tho opinion of all his fellow officers. was "a crime, an abominable crime" and that its perpetrators had already been punished by God.
 The German added. according to de Smith, that when the lusitania sank and the submarine commander saw tho men, the women, the little girls and the little boys drowning without help and witnessed their az ony and their hands outstretched m vain. it seemed to him that those hands crushed him. Gradually he bc- came insane, dreadful nightmares now haunt his sleep and his victims leave him no rest.
 On the other hand. an army officer justified the Lusitania sinking as in line with the policy of waging war by every means in crdcr to crush the spirit of the enemy and force an early peace.
 When this officer was asked what the army thought of the United States, he said:
 "Oh, America; that does not cause us any concern. The notes "Mch America sends and nothing arc one and tho same thing.

.ELLO|TT WARNS OWNERS OF POOL
  HALLS IN C|ly
Chancellor Takes Hand Aft CT Two Men Fined in Po-
 lice Court for Gambling.

Louis DeHart and c. R. Harper, young white men. charged with gam ing, by playing pool for stake, each paid tho city treasury $25 yesterday, as result of the orders issued by Police Judge J. R. Stewart. DeHart was not present when his case was called. and forfeiture of his $25 cash bond was ordered. Harper pleaded guilty, and was fined $25.
 As a result of these arrests. Chan cellor !. M. Elliott yesterday morn- ing had before him the proprietors of all the pool aud billiard halls in the city. and gave each of them warn- ing that they Eust abide rigidly by the letter of tho law, if they desire to continue in bus s'nesss. Especially was Judge Elliott forceful in his an nounccment of his intention to pro- ceed against the proprietors who arc caught permitting gambling in their places. or allowing minors to enter the ablishments.
 Judge Elliott made it plain that the proprietors must not content them selves with asking the boys if they are .2i~ i~yoaFsss old. but must obtain Sritten permits, before boys under 2l are allowed to play billiards or pocket billiards. Even when written permits arc possessed by the boys, the prorrictor of the billiard hall must call up the father or mother of the hoy in question and verify that permit.
 Complaints About Minors.
 "I have had more complaints rela- lives to minors in poolholls. than for any other cause" said Chef of Po- licc Frank Stewart yesterday, "and l am going to put stop to the mat ter. am going to stop tho business of some of the players. most of whom are professional gamblers. of playins for money. These fellows not only fleece the inexperienced players. but they play against each other. and for rather large sums. It is gambling. exactly like poker playing and crap playing, and am going after them, l intend also to prosecute the pro prietor of any billiard hall who knowingly permits such games to be played"
 Mayor Simon Bloom also stated that he had been caused more trouble by complaints against the poolhalls, than from any other one cause.
 ''The fathers nad mothers Of boys have complained to me, because their boys play pool" he said. 'l am glad the chief has started to put an end to tho habit of the minors, as it will re- lievc both him and mo of this cause of worry"
 According to the pclicc, DeHart has beon in Pine Bluff only a month or so. It is alleged that Thursday night DeHart won about $1l from O.. R. Hopper, in pool game. The lat ter wanted his revenge" and arrang- cd for Arkansas Rod' to play De Hart Friday night. Hopper backing "Arkansas Red" The games were played at Abe Fishman's Crescent pool hall. and the arrests of DeRart and Hopper followed Arkansas Red" made his escape. q friend gv- ing him tho tip when the officers ar rived to break up the game.

As OTHERS SEE Us.

The Lefourche Comet, in it's la sI
issue, nad the following:
~aThere is no doubt but that the
people of this entire State are be-
coming more and more convinced
of the Importance and benefits OF
good roads. 1t was just last
Thursday that an election was
held in st. Mary to vote bonds for
the construction OF hard surfaced
road across that parish. Here is
the result of that election, as
shown in the last issue of the st.
Mary Banner:
1.-THE special election held on
last Thursday for the purpose of
authorizing the Police Jury to is
cue bonds to the amount Of $500 :
100000 for the building and con-
stIucting OF public roads through
out the Parish, was carried by
large maj ority. There was polled
in the Pari-h $50 votes; 5lS in ia
vor of the proposition and Al
against it; assessment cast
against Sl04, 791 &c; majority in
vor of the proposition, $685., 6O2 7O'.
"Just think! Out of $50 votes
only Al stood against the propo-
sition. Isn't this fine? Could
this have been done about five
years ago? Hardly. Since then,
however, people are realizing
what drawback bad roads are,
and they are therefore willing to
assume a tax to get relief.
1T is to be hoped that the citi-
zeDs of Lafourche parish. residing
in the Second Road District, will
prove, in the election &c be held |
on the 22nd of this mouth, as pub
lie spirited as the taxpayers Of st
Mary. If they do there will be
some chance of creating Road |
District No. 3, which will include i
Thibodaux and the road to Chaca-
houla, if the self-constituted b Dos
ted element Of this town does not
(under the pretense Of boosting)
kill the proposition. With the
Third District created and a road
to Chacahoula, then there will be
q good road from New Orleans out
TO Iberia parish-a realization de.
