Burglars Make Big
Haul OF Dry Goods

From indications and the clews left
behind an entire caravan OF burglars
before dawn Friday made an attack on
the dry goods and notion store Of Isaac
Jiedel & Bros, lb9-l6l Beale avenue,
and successfully got away with big
part Of the stock as a reward for their
bodness.
Entrance was gained by prying open
rear doors OF the double store Then
automobiles or motor trucks, from in
dlcations, were backed up from the
alley an dthe stock Of women'S wearing
apparel was loaded din the vans by tho
bale. The amount Of the stock missing
is valued at several thousand dollars.
In crossing the bayou a short dis
tance from tho rear Of the store some
OF the loot was dropped as the auto
mobiles bumped over the rough places.
In fact the path OF the route taken
by the burglars was strewn with goods
stolen from the place.
When clerks opened the store Friday
they we're startled by the completeness
OF the depletion Of the stock. Dctec-
tives John Long and WIN Carpenter
were assigned to the job by Hulet
Smith, chief Of the detective bureau,
who at noon Friday added Detectives
Joe Bishop and Bill Joyce to the squad
in neffort TO obtain clews MS to the

INJUNCTION SUIT ADDS
TO SHIPPERS TROUBLES

An injunction to restrain the inter-
state commerce commission from put
ting into effect the new form of bill of
lading which all shippers have been
ordered to use after Sept. 5, has been
applied for in the United States court
for the Southern district of New York
by a committee composed of the cor
poration counsel for number of rail
way and steamship lines not under fed
eral control.
The injunction petition adds greatly
to the confusion Of the shippers in re-
gard to the adoption of the new bill Of
lading. The new form was to be adopt
ed Aug. s. but on the showing of the
shipping interests that large stocks of
the old form are on hand and that
printers demanded from so to 80 days
to get out the new forms, an extern
sion of time until Sept. was granted.
Shippers asked for authority to stamp
the old forms with provision stating
that 1t was subject to all the terms of
the new form, and use their present
supply until the new form could be OBJ
tained, but this request das denied.
Now the shippers are advised not to
order their new printing until the in
junction proceedings are acted upon.
This probably will make such delay
that the new forms can not be had by
Sept. 3 il the injunction is denied.
The interstate commerce commission
has ruled that the old forms contain
provisions that are illegal and unfair
and for that reason the commission Is
adverse TO extending the time for the
use of provisions 1t has held to be lille
gal. The terms of the new form are
said to be more favorable to the ship
pers than the old form.

For Briggs, in January, 1916, was

case In which Briggs was the princi-

to have purchased half pint of whisky
from defendant Other witnesses were
Patrolmen Bennet and Linson, who
claimed only to have made the arrest

Judge Richards told Briggs that II
he would bring proof into the court that

is convicted in criminal court on most
charges he is rendered infamous by
the judge in his sentence which makes
him incapable of testifying in any court

Briggs therefore is of no service as
