However. in a later interview, the

and heard no noise even though the
screams of the party of the wrecked
car were heard for several miles.
The occupants of the Ditch car
remained pinned under the car for
several hours until help came. How
ever. none of the party were serious
ly hurt, just receiving severe bruises

SAYS TWO ATTACKS
WERE MADE ON
HIM
Music Teacher Believes Anti-Vice
Activities Were Cause.

H. Kuhn, music teacher, Of Madi-
son street McDonoghville, suburb OF
Gretna, who has been active in an
independent anti-vice crusade in his
neighborhood, claims he was attacked
twice Monday about midnight in his
home by unidentified persons. Sew:
eral shots were fired during
the second attack, rousing the neigh.
borhood and creating much excite
ment
Kuhn reported the incident to Chief
Lesson of Gretna Tuesday, but the
officer had discovered no clue at an
early hour Wednesday morning and
said he could find no bruises about
Kuhn's head. Kuhn was in bed
asleep, according to his narrative to
Chief Lesson, about midnight when
he was awakened by hammering on
the window. BY the time he could
arise, two men had forced an en-
trance through the window and, he
said, were beating him over the head
He got his revolver, he said. and
fired at them, whereupon they fled.
Later, however. they returned
Kuhn, said, with a large force
Eight shots were fired in the attack
upon his home, he stated. The shots
attracted a large number of the neigh
bors, but when they arrived upon the
scene the place was deserted and not
even Kuhn could be found. The as
sailants had fled, Kuhn said, fearing
apprehension; and he had left, appre
hensive of another attack.
Kuhn told Chief Lesson Tuesday he
had been assaulted on the head, but
Chief Lesson said he could see nc
evidence of a beating. Kuhn is a
bachelor, residing alone. He is a
private instructor in music. Though
he holds no official relation with the
War Department Commission OF
Training Camp Activities nor any
other anti-vice agency, Kuhn has
been active in reporting such alleged
vice cases as came under his Obser'
walton. He has reported two, one OF
which resulted in a fine for one OF
the men accused. He told Chief Lesson
he thought revenge the motive of the
attack upon him Monday night. He
was positive, he told the officer, he
could identify his first two assailants
If brought face to face with them.

Dear Sir
| note in today's issue of the Daily
States an offer for sale by the Com
missioner of Public Utilities. a fran
chise lease for a ferry from Walnut
Street to Westwego and that the
published tariff rates are the same
or generations ago. made to discOur-
age reasonable loads, no doubt in
times when flat boats were in exist
ence. These OnerOuS antiquated
rates, made in times gone by when
the rate makers and purchasers of
franchises were about one and the
same parties, are again about to be
foisted and taxed upon us for an
other fifteen years or half a genera
ton and the people of jefferson
should take notice of conditions.
1t is, believe. the purpose of the
people of Algiers and vicinity to do
all that can be done to secure a
downward revision OF tariffs for the
Canal and Third District ferry fran
chiseS when same is shortly offered
for sale and it is to be hoped, that
when this occurs, the successful Wal
nut Street franchise bidder will not
appear and oppose our petition. on
the ground that the adoption of a
lower and modern tariff rate. for the
Canal and Third District ferry fran
chises. would reduce the value OF
his purchase.
Yours truly,
