the negroes, Charley Percy, who was
captured in the afray, was shot in
the back, and has since died in jail.
The other robber, Frank Burns,
made his escape, but was captured
at about o'clock this morning near
the Lafcurche Mercantile Co.'S store
with a bullet wound in his leg, and
was placed in jail.
Percy made confession to the eff
feet that he and another negro nam
ed Burns, brother of the one cap
tured, had robbed Mr.. Israel's es-
tablishment last Monday and had
disposed of the goods stolen to Sal
vatore Lupo, an Italian storekeeper
in Churchville, for the sum of $50.
He claimed to be innocent of any OF
the robberies committed in this city
prior to the Israel store robbery.
Lupo was Immediately placed under
arrest and jailed and his place search
ed. Only the goods stolen this morn
ing could be found; not one article
of the merchandise carried away last

past are expected. Both of the ne
groes are from the city Of New Or

They had gained entrance to the

MORE MONEY NEEDED.
Meeting of School Patrons Suggest
Taxation to Relieve Situation.

In response to the. call issued for
a mass meeting Of citizens and pa
irons of the Donaldsonville High
people assembled in the school au-
ditorium last Sunday afternoon At
3 o'clock. The purpose of the meet
ing was to divise ways and means
to meet the requirements of a
heavily increased enrolment in some
of the grades of that institution.
Prof. B. C. AlWes, principal of the
school, was made chairman of the
meeting, and general discussion
followed in which several persons
participated. 1t was brought out
that in some Of the grades, the num-
Der Of pupils enrolled for the pres
ent session is almost twice the en-.
rollment of last year, and that it is
physically impossible for the teach
|ers of some of the grades to handle
the very large number Of pupils
placed under their care, and that the
only solution is to divide the over
crowded grades in two and provide
an additional teacher for each.
1t was also shown that several adj
ditional teachers and large num-
Der of desks and other equipment
are needed for some Of the schools
lip other parts of the parish, and that
the school board is without funds to
buy the desks and equipment and
to pay the salaries of the extra
teachers needed.
In the opinion Of those present the
only way to relieve the situation is
through additional taxation.
1t was, therefore, resolved to petit
ton the parish school board to call
an election to levy an extra and adj
ditional two-rnill tax on all property
throughout the parish subject to tax
alton, to run for a period Of ten
years, for general public school pur-
poses in Ascension.
1t was estimated that two
mill tax on an aggregate total as
sessment of $10,000,O00 will yield
$4,000 per year additional, or
100000 in ten years, which it is
believed would be ample to meet the
pressing needs of the school situa-
ton.

ANOTHER STORE BURGLARIzED.
Thieves Break Into and Loot David
Israeps Establishment.

The large dry goods and shoe store
OF David Israel in Railroad avenue
was broken into and robbed some
time last Monday night The thieves
effected an entrance by forcing in
one of the front doors and made their
exit through one of the doors in the
rear, carrying away rs pairs of fine
Sell shoes for men, 10 ladies' coats,
several pairs of mems trousers and
two suit cases. The thieves left about
fifteen pairs of mems pants near the
back door of the building for the rea-
son, no doubt, that they discovered
that they had taken more goods than
they could carry away. Two empty
oat sacks were also found in the
store. It is believed that the roo
bers intended to use these in which
to pack their loot, but discarded
them in favor of the two suit cases
which were taken. Mr.. Israel esti-
mates his loss, figuring the articles
stolen at cost, at about $500.
Upon discovering the burglary
Tuesday morning, Mr.. Israel imme-
diately notified the sheriff, and an
investigation was begun, but up to
now no clue has been found to the
perpetrators of the crime.
1t is strongly suspected that the
thieves in this case are the sanfe
who have robbed other stores in this
city in the recent past. They are
believed to be we'll organized, and the
fact that this last burglary was com
mltted IN a very CONSPICUOUS and we'll
lighted part of the city, within
distance of little over one block
from the courthouse and Jail, elbows
that the robbers are very bold and
vigilant.
A fact which points very strongly
to organization on the part of the
thieves is that none of the goods
taken in the several recent rob-
berries have ever been recovered,
which leads to the presumption that
the loot is brought or shipped to
other cities and turned over to con-
federates for disposition far away
from the scene Of the robbery.
The successful getaway Of the
thieves in each case seems to, have
greatly emboldened them and en-
couraged them to increase the bulk
of their loot at each successive
1t is the confident belief
of many, that if one of the band
could be caught it would lead to the
apprehension Of bill of the others
and to the final breakup of an or
ganization which is plying it's trade
with great skill in spite of the
vigilance Of the officers Of the law.
