.C|STERNS MUST co
OWNER FINED S25

A test case involving the validity
of the ordinance requiring the re-
moval of cisterns and the substitu-
ton on premises OF the city water
was tried before Judge O'Donnell in
the Second City Criminal Court
Tuesday, and was decided in favor
of the Sewerage and Water Board.
Z. H. Block is the special attorney
of the board to conduct prosecu-
tions, of which there are 1900 pend
ing.
The test case presented to the
court was that of Mrs. ]. Servat,
and the defense filed demurrers
making general denials of the va
lidity of the ordinance, all of which
were overruled by the court, and
the case went to trial on the mer-
its, with the result that the defend
ant was fined $25, with the option
of thirty days Imprisonment. This
is the maximum penalty that could
be imposed.
While the case will no doubt be
taken to a higher court, it is the
intention of Mr.. Bloch and the board
to press all outstanding affidavits
just as rapidly as possible. AS
stated, there are 1900 such cases,
$50 having been dismissed in the
last two weeks because the owners
have complied with the law. When
cisterns are removed affidavits
against the owners are dismissed.

SNAPPED A PICTURE.

Excellent work was done by Ma
val Intelligence Bureau in running
down a strange motor boat" that
appeared before the Naval Station
Sunday afternoon, and from which
woman hurriedly emerged to the
docks, snapped a picture of a boat
in dock and then jumped back into
the boat which sped away. Before
the Naval Station authorities could
pursue the swift launch it was lost
down the river. The matter was
laid before the naval intelligence
department. Monday night they To-
Gated the launch at the head of De-
sire street and succeeded in getting
the film which had not yet been
printed.
No arrest was made, but a thor
ough investigation is under way.
The woman who snapped the pic
ture was found, and gave as her
excuse "that it made a pretty
scene She denied having hurried
ly jumped from the motorboat to
snap the picture" as the Waterman
at the Naval Station reported, but
declared that she never left the
boat. The woman is an American
and Us the wife of an American
captain of a vessel now in port. He
said that he was with his wife when
she took the picture, and upheld her
in her story.
G. H. Beckham, in charge of the
Naval intelligence Office, declined to
say whether action would be taken

VIM. STANLEY bEHRMAN
MADE CAPTAIN

News was received in New Or
leans Friday that Lieutenant w.
Stanley Behrman, 26 years old, son
of Mayor Behrman, had been pro-
noted to the rank of captain, and
had received mis- new commission
Wednesday.
Captain Behrman, formerly with
the contracting firm of Hampton
Reynolds, was among the first that
answered the governments call for
student officers. He went through
the hard training at Fort Logan
H. Roots, and at the end of three
months was commissioned a first
lieutenant, and assigned to the
Quartermaster Department.
His previous training was of in
valuable assistance to him, and the
way he was able to handle negroes
doing construction work at Camp
Pike won him quick recognition, and
his promotion is considered by his
numerous friends in New Orleans as
the natural sequence to his proven
merit.

THE STACKER

We give our service, you cut off our
beer,
But the Stacker can drink until
it runs from his ear,
We quit our jobs to keep you from
harm,
And the Stacker goes by with a
girl on his arm,
And laughs at the sailors, poor I'M
lucky cuss,
Girls go with the Stacker, then
why criticize us?
The Stacker rides around in a Ford
of his own,
And a quarter to haul us to town,
We are doing our duty, his liver is
white,
Yet We must turn in at eleven
each night,
But he sticks around as long as he
cares,
And laughs at a sailor whenever
he dares.
Discipline is a thing that must be,
But honest to goodness, we fail
to see
Why the sailor must drink water
and pop,
While the drink of the Stacker
can never be estopped
If he can dance it seems rather hard
Yet from all decent dances the
sailor is barred,
We've shouldered our rifles and ia
ken our place,
And we will go to our death with
a smile on our face,
But this, our honest appeal unto you
Until We cross over-please give
us our due.
