ERNEST SCHILLER
CANE To ATLANT "A
SERVING LIFE SENTENCE FOR
HOLDING UP BRITISH STEAM
Err SINGLE HANDED.

ATLANTA, April 211.-Holding up
single handed the crew Of large
transatlantic steamer is a regular
cinch if you've got the nerce, accord
ing 20 Ernest Schiller, the German
subject expelled from England, who
startled the world by mastering the
captain and crew of the British steam
er Matoppo on the high seas, and who
was tried in Wilmington, Del, and
given a life sentence in the United
States penitentiary in Atlanta for pi---
racy.
Schiller made the acquaintance yes
terday with Warden Zerbst and the
1900 odd prisoners in Atlanta who
will keep him company during his pro-
tracted stay in the prison, some OF
these being men, like Schiller, who
are sentenced for life.
81 could have forced the captain
and crew of the Matoppo to take to
the ships boats if | had been mind
to- said Schiller yesterday. But |
didn't want to commit murder, and
that's what it would have been to put
them adrift in the sea that was run
ming. Also, it would have been sui
eide, as | could not have managed the
steamer single handed, although | eX-
perienced no difficulty in managing
the crew single-handed.'

his moustache curled up at the ends
in true Kaiser Wilhelm style.

Broussard is Not TaIkative.

New Orleans, Sept.-1S.-The yisi'
of Senator Joseph E. Ransdell to Sem
atcr Robert F. Broussard at New Iberia
was the feature of political gossip al
the week closed. In company with w.
Burch Lee, formerly of Minder, now
United States surveyor Of the port OF
New Orleans, Mr.. Ransdell quietly
took the train Friday noon for New
Iberia and spent the night as the guest
of Louisiana's junior senator.
In view of the differences that have
existed between Ransdell and Brous
sard and their mutual excoriation "t
each other on the floor of the United
States Senate, following the last state
campaign, the apparently friendly in p
terview at New Iberia hotel started
the political tongues to wagging. The
Cosmopolital hotel lobby, where the
clans from both city and country gath
cred Saturday night, was agog with
the reported Ransdall- Broussard get
together.
Neither Mr.. Ransdell nor AIR. lie.
were communicative as to what took
place at New iberia.
Report is, however, that the federal
judgeship for the western district was
talked over. Senator Ransdell makes
no bones about his interest IN and sup
port of his brother, Judge Francis X.
Ransdell of Lake Providence, for the
position. Intimate friends of the Sen
,1or say he will go the limit to secure
the appuiu,n eat II lis bi other.
81 was talking to close friend of
senator Ransdell this afternoon" said
pne of the group, "and 1 suggested to
him that in my estimation Senator
Ransdell was injuring his own politi-
cal future in the judgeship contest.
His reply to me was that Senator
Ransdsll would almost be willing to
sacrifice the United States senatorship
to place his brother on the federal
bench. That is what a man said to
me who should be in a position to
know the attitude of Mr.. Ransdell."
There was another rumor about the
hotels that little was gained by the
Iberia meeting-that Ransdell and
Broussard were no nearer together
now than they had been, and that
there was scant chance of Broussard
supporting Rsnsdell's brother for the
bench.
81 got this straight" said this au
thority. Broussard has maintained a
policy of hands off in the Boarman
judgeship succession. He hast stated
that he had no candidate and that he
did not care about anyone Ransdeli
proposed. My opinion is that this is
Bob Broussard's attitude today, ire
spective of the New Iberia visit"
As against this view, there was a
deep-seated view among Orleans poll.
ticians that some understanding may
be reached between the two senators
on Louisiana appointments that have
been hanging fire for months, because
of the deadlock existing between
them.
There are some postmasters in the
Third district, Lafayette being nota-
BILE example, that could be easily set
tied il Ransdell and Broussard should
agree.
The vacancy in the United States
subtreasury at New Orleans could be
quickly filed but for the differences
between the Louisiana senators.

"0sceoIa" Residence Burned.

Another of the old ante e-bellum land
marks of Tensas Parish has disap-
peared. On Thursday night about IL
O'Clock fire destroyed the residence on
"Osceola" plantation, occupied by
Mr.. r. L. Wimberly. The roof was
in flames when the family awakened
and who escaped with only sufficient
clothes for immediate use. With ex-
ception of the piano and few chairs,
practically everything was lost, in
clnding all of the family jewelry and
silverware and cut-glass. The con-
tents of the house are conservativeIy
estimated at $1,000 and may indeed
exceed that figure considerably, on
which there was little insurance. We
were unable to learn whether insur-
ance was carried on the house. The
"Osceola" plantation is the property
Of Mr.. Wallace Watson Wealth
erly, of Gulfport, Mississippi, and is
considered one of the most valuable
holdings in Tensas parish. The resi-
dence was built by Mr.. Scott Watson
about 1880 or perhaps several years
prior, and next to "Myrtle Grove"
residence, property of Mrs. Jennie
Bass, built in the early 20's, is reck-
oned as the oldest house in the parish,
and is certainly one of the most ia
nous, as well as the best constructed
and most comfortable. 1t was in this
house that the celebrated and popu-
lar novel "Dead Mems Shoes" was
written by the well known Southern
suthoress, Mrs. Jeanette Haderman
Wslworth, and was the first of the
many great literary productions of
that talented writer, who was for
years q resident of this parish. Ideally
situated on the sloping banks of Lake
Bruen, one of the most beautiful
bodies Of water in this country, if not
in the entire South, the "Osceola"
residence has i'm its time been the
scene of many happy gatherings, in.
cluding among its guests the very
elite of Southern genius and aris-
tocracy and in the present day under
the welcoming hospitality of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wimberly has often been the
Mecca of the select social circles of
Tensss where youth and pleasure
we're wont to "meet to chase the glow
ing hours with flying feet" And the
many elegant house parties given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Wimberly have made
delightful chapter in the social history
o. our parish, which will long be
source of happy recollection to every
participant.
For the present, we understand, the
Wimberly household is given quar-
ters by Mr.. Wade Netterville at the
"Panola" house, where they will re-
main until other plans are made. In
the great loss that has befalleh them
by this disaster they have the sincere
sympathy OF their many friends
throughout the parish.

The Louisiana Militia.

We wish to congratulate Col. Frank
p. Stubbs and ell of the officers and
members of the First Regiment of the
Louisiana National Guard, on the
magnificent showing made while on
duty on the Mexican border. No
militia organization made such a
showing or won SO much praise from
the United States Army officers as did
the Louisiana boys, and every citizen
OF the state should feel proud of such
an organization.

glad to know both ladies are well and

however, was attended with recep-

About II O'Clock on Sunday morning,
soon after they had arrived, the

tainly the entire house would have
been destroyed but for timely aid that
was fortunately at hand. Aside from

OF Interest to Teachers.

Hon. T. M. Wade, Superintendent
of Education of Tensas parish, is in
receipt of letter from the Hon. T. H.
Harris, State Superintendent, contain
ing the following important informa-
ton to school faculties:
In the future all schools will be re-
quired to serve one session as provis-
ional high schools before they will be
formally approved as high schools.
The provisional schools, however,
which prove upon inspection that
they are meeting reasonably well high
school requirements will share i'm the
State high school appropriation.
3. The scholarship standards Of
high school teachers (grades eight
through eleven) will be raised auto
matically four college hours per ses-
sion until college graduation is reached
beginning with thirty-six college hours
for the session 1916-1917. This ap.
plies to new high school teachers for
the session Of 1916 1917 and later. The
eligibility of teachers now in high
school service who do not meet the
minimum standards outlined above
will be determined by the high school
inspector after proper Investigation
