HE STOLE SACKS.
Cane Rogers, a Negro With Good
Reputation, Is Arrested.

Cane ROBBERS. a negro who has been in
the employ of the Hammond Packing
company for several years, was arrested
and placed in the city jail yesterday
morning by Officers Patton and Huey on
a charge of stealing sacks from his en-
ployers.
The theft of sacks from this concern
has been going on for more than a year,
but on account of the absolute confidence
that Rogers employers had in him he
was not suspected
Rogers had the reputation of being
honest and absolutely reliable, and his
arrest yesterday morning was a surprise.
One hundred and four sacks were recov-
cred by the Officers making the arrest.
These sacks are of heavy jute and are
worth 16 cents apiece.
John Jefferson and Abe Brumby, two
other negroes, were arrested for receiving
stolen property. 1t seems that these ne
groes conducted a business near Morris
avenue which consisted in the manufac-
ture of sacks which were sold to the mer-
chants in the wholesale district. 1t was
thro-gh these negroes that Rogers dis
posed of his stolen goods.

APOLOGIES MADE IN
DUALCONTEMPT CASE
ROLAND SHuGART FINED $50.
JONES ExONERATED BY sHU-
CARTRIDGE JONES MAKES AN
ADDRESS.

Roland Shugart, an attorney at law,
after apoiogizing for his part in the Shu-
gart-Jones personal difficulty that took
place recently in the Federal building,
and exhonerating c. p. Jones, Jr., was
yesterday fined $40 by Judge Jones for
contempt of court in the United States
circuit court. The fine was promptly
paid.
In INJECTING this penalty, Judge Jones
said:
This Cccurance was brought to the
notice of the court and it felt that action
should be taken because one of the par
ties was an attorney of the court, and L
wish to say that the clerks office the
court room, the marshals office and every
part set apart for justice in this building,
especially the court are under the protec-
ton of the court.
After reading the affdavits and after
hearing the statement of Mr. Shugart,
/ have come to the conclusion that Mr..
Shugart did not come into this building
for the purpose of creating a difficulty.
1t is not question of disrespect individ-
TALLY or otherwise but it Is what he rep
resents Now, ! am glad that Mr. Shu-
CART made the statement that he did, be-
cause my first impulse was to make an
example CT this case in order to stop any
future occurrence of the kind. 1 am
thankful that the occurrence is regretted
and that there will be no more of it. 1t
does not seem to me that there was any
specific intent.
I'm view of the statement made by Mr..
Shugart l shall impose a fine only. The
affair cannot go wholly unnotlced. want
to say to Mr.. Shugart that he ought to
bear in mind that there is no manhood in
seeking a broil, and that as an attor-
ney of this court he ought to set an ex-
ample of obedience to the law That is
manhood because in personal alteration
it ought to be matter of honor with both
of them to settle the matter peacably.
| This court Is established to adjust
| rights and to redress wrongs, and no cit
| izen, no matter how high or how low, can
| take a matter of this kind in his own
| hands Under the circumstances and be-
lieving that there will be no more trouble
and that the parties concerned have made
| friends In order to serve the ends of
justice | shall impose a fine of 500 on
Mr.. Shugart for contempt of court
The respondents father then thanked
the court stating that there would be no
more trouble of the kind either inside or
outside the government building.
Mr.. Jones then addressed the court, say
ing: IF your honor please, would like
to corroborate the statement made by Mr..
| Shugart that we are now friends. and
that we have always been friends"
The court interrupted with the remark.
The court not only discharges you, brt
acuuits you Furthermore, the court COM
mends your control and the mastery over
your temper. and so far as rejecting on
you 1t is a tribute to your real manhood
and courage. The race is not always to
the man who Is swift in the shedding of
| blood"

THREE ATTEMPTS
TO BURN BUILDING
TWO-STORY VACANT RESIDENCE
AT AVENUE D AND TWENTY
SEVENTH STREET is FOUND
BURNING FOR THE THIRD TIME

The Southside fire companies were
called to the corner of Avenue d. and
Twenty-seventh street yesterday morning
at 3 O'Clock where a fire had been dis
covered in vacant two-story residence
The blaze was extingIished with small
damage.
The fire is supposed 20 be incendiary
and this is said to be the third attempt
in the past month to burn this building
On the night of April 25 at 1910 o'clock
the two Southside companies were called
to fire in this same building that was
evidently of incendiary origin. The fire
was extinguished and at o'clock on the
same night just as the companies were
getting their apparatus in shape at their
respective headquarters they were called
back to find that a fresh fire had been
started in the building. This was extin-
guished after an additional loss of two or
three hundred dollars.
Some people living in the nelghborhood
of the burned building stated TO the fire.
men that they saw man enter the house
Just before the second fire was discovered
they state, however, that they took no
special notice OF the man, SURPRISING MIN
to be a member of the fire department.
The building is a large two-story frame
structure and is worth about $3.50. 1t
has been vacant for some time.
The total damage to the building from
the three fires amounts to about sl0O0
The house is listed with Beasley Bros,
real estate dealers.
j. 7. Beasley stated to an Age-Herald
reporter last night that he was sure the
fire were ineendlary but could give no
reason for the act.

At $3.50 yesterday afternoon a fire was
discovered on the roof of one of the build
ings belonging to the Warrior Manufac-
turing company at Avenue ID and Four

the stack and was extinguished by the
fremen before any damage was done.

happy remark. All good Americans ought
to go to New Orleans while they live.
Not to go there is really to miss great
deal in life. The place is the most pic
turesque spot ON the contnent-and the
people-well, to know them is to get
foretaste of what the hymn books tell us
Heaven is. There are, however, some
things in New Orleans that are not to be
found In hymn books. The courtesy of
the people of all classes is most refresh
ing, and to watch the beautiful women
on the streets is like passing an after
noon in an art gallery admiring the silent
eloquence OF pictured feminine loneliness.

world, in one respect at least, namely in
their dress. | did not make a complete
