COP AND NEGRO IN
F|GHT FOLLOWING A
SAVAGE ENCOUNTER

Arthur Reese, colored, made a vici-
Gus assault upon Officer Jack Nichols
at an early hour yesterday morning
when the policeman named sought 20
place him under arrest as a danger
Gus and suspicious character. The
negro was almost overpowering the
policeman when aid, in the persons
of two civilians arrived, and the
fighting black man was taken to ~
city Jail. He was arraigned for trial
IN the city court and was fined S25
and costs. Later in the day he was
bound over to the county authorities.
It seems that the officer learned
that Reese and another negro was
concerned in the stealing of some
brass and other metals, and they were
located in the rear of building on
Tarragona street. Going into the
alley Officer Nichols surprised the
negroes, and one of them made his
escape. The other, Reese, did not
appreciate the idea of going to jail,
where he has spent so many DAYS of
his life, and believing that he could
beat the policeman, at once launched
an attack. For some time the fight
was of the most lively character. and
when the cop finally emerged from
the encounter, he showed much evil
dence of having had a hard fight.

Il Just don't hardly know how to

Paris, Aug. 31.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press. )-Further
details have been obtained about the
new gas shells which the Germans
are now using, and their effect upon
the persons who breathe the fumes.
Armentieres is the first town in the
annals of history to have been literal
ly poisoned to such a degree that its
civil population has had to be re-
moved lest it should be entirely de-
stroyed.
While heavy shells were rained on
the houses, forcing the people to take
refuge in the cellars, a multitude of
small shells, not powerful enough to
smash a pavement stone, fell every
where, in street and courtyard and
garden These shells contain no
gas or powder, but a colorless liquid
which spreads over the ground. Only
very slightly volatile, the liquid
leaves traces for hours after the she'll
has exploded. 1t evaporate very
slowly, producing a heavy gas which
filters downward and reaches the
cellars where refuge has been sought.
This gas, remarkably tenacious. has
made more victims among women
than men, because it penetrates the
hair and remains there, while tobacco
smoke has proved an unexpected pro-
lection for men. The odor is described
by some as recalling acetylene, by
others as resembling mignonette. but
the majority say it is like hot mus
tard. It takes some time to produce
its effects.
Inhabitants of Armentieres who
have breathed its emanations in the
morning, when walking in the town,
have been able to return home with
out feeling any effect, but five or six
hours later they have been obliged to
go to bed, and their condition has
rapidly become serious
The bronchial tubes are affected
first, the eyelids become swollen. and
little by little the sight is lost All
the mucous membranes are attacked
and the body seems on fire inside,
while burns (Which doctors described
as of the Second degree'O cover all
the skin. Continuous coughing sets
in. with a fever temperature, the skin
becomes dull and sickly and the af-
Fiction proves fatal in many cases.
A British army medical officer,
protected by mask. exposed himself
to the gas for quarter of an hour
as an experiment, and was burned
all over the body, except where the
mask protected his head and on the
wrist where the strap of his watch
offered protection.
Father Camelot, dean of Saint
Vast at Armentieres, was poisoned,
little by little, as he performed his
sacred duties. The town, since No
vember, 1916, has been reduced to a
single parish and Father Camelot
took charge of it, wishing" as he
said, 'to remain there as long as a
single soul remained" He is the fifth
priest of Armentieres to be a victim
of the war.
The British Army Medical Service
Is making every effort to analyze the
liquid thus used for producing this
gas. Its emanations have an ala
logy with the tear-producing gas,
which blinds for a time, but the eff
fects of the new poison are infinitely
more severe.
French investigation of the liquid
tends to show that it is not a new

IMPROVEMENT Of
NOTE ESPECIALLY
To SERVICE MEN

Plans have been prepared by the
city commissioners for quite an i'm
provement. to be permanent one,
in the parkway of Mallory court. lust
west of Palafox street. The plans
call for the construction of what will
be known as relief station, a two
story structure, with a band stand
atop the entire building. The lower
floor, it is contemplated, will be for
the use of men, the second floor for
ladies, while the band stand will be
occupied at announced periods.
This will be the city's bit toward
offering entert ainment to the service
men, and it is planned to start the
erection of the building just as early
as possible.
The idea of placing a skating rink
in Mallory court, it is reported. has
been at least temporarily abandoned,
and unless some more feasible plans
are submitted than those at first un-
der consideration, there will be no eff
fort to construct skating rink fea-
lures there.
