LUMBERMEN SPEND
WEEK OF PLEASURE
Steps Taken for More Effective
Organization
CAR SHORTAGE QUESTION
Effort Will Be Made to Secure Use
of Empties Passing Back to
the Northwestern Con-
Meeting Lines.

Hattiesburg, Miss, March 10.-(Speclal)
During the past week the yellow pine
lumber manufacturers of South Missis-
sippi have devoted themselves to bust
ness and amusement at Hattiesburg, and
while they have been having a big time,
with the largest concentration of Hoo
Hoos ever held in Mississippi, they have
made arrangements to increase the in
fluence of their business by the forma-
ton of an organization OH strictly bus
,ness lines, the purpose being to place
the lumbermen in a position to act to-
gether on matters affecting their general
interests.
Heretofore the South Mississippi Lum-
bermen's association has rocked along in
an easy way, with no one in charge
whose business it was to push the in
forests of the association or of those con-
nected with it, The result has been that
the membership has been Indifferent, and
those few faithful ones, like Wilder of
Ems. Parks of Gandsl. Little of Clyde
Stevens of Picayune and a few others
have found 1t difficult to get out a quorum
at the occasional meetings Of the gem
eral body.
1t has now been determined to engage
an experienced man to take hold of the
secretaryship, who will be the executive
official in charge, and who will devote
bin,self to the disseminating of Informal
f,oa As to prices and marriott conditions

and the doing of other things likely to
advance the general welfare.
The first step toward definite action
was taken In the formation of COM
mittee of prominent lumbermen to con-
suit with the officials of the New Orleans
and Northeastern railroad, to see II ar
rangements cannot be made whereby the
many empty cars that are daily car
ried northward along the line cannot be
placed at the disposal of the lumber
men.
The Northeastern railway people are
not held responsible for the apparent
waste of this available rolling stock, for
1t appears that the emptes which are
needed by the lumbermen are what is
known as penalty cars belonging to
connecting lines up north, upon which
penalties will be charged If they are
not delivered back to the owners in a
certain time.
The consulting committee OF lumber
men will see If they cannot cooperate
with the Northeastern people in an eff
fort to get the connecting roads to permit
the use of these empties.
The acute suffering of the lumbermen
from the ear shortage was illustrated
bv Mr.. s. II. Hemphll, one of the best
known lumbermen of the state, who is
now operating a mill near Ovett, on the
Mobile Jackson and Kansas City road.
He said that for three months his mill
was able to get only three cars for the
shipment of their output.
They were compelled to close down. Re-
Gently he gathered some facts and figures
about the situation which he laid be-
fore Mr.. Jones, the new general man
ager of the road, as the result of which
he secured FIVE additional cars, and the
mill was able to start up again.
He was of the opinion that much of the
trouble with the car situation was due
to tie-up at the gulf ports. He found
the Kansas City road sadly tied-up with
cars that could not be unloaded at Mo-
bile. Similar views ,'ere expressed with
regard to the condition of th~ Gulf and
Ship Island road, whose wharves at Gulf
FORT are frequently crowded with loaded
cars tied UP by reason of labor scarcity.
The man whom the South Mississippi
association has in view for the office of
permanent secretary Is Mr.. f. A. Walker,

Pine association, with headquarters at

KILLED IN TROUGH.

While kneading dough in an electrical
machine in the bakery of Mr.. J. j.
Rokos, in Baltimore, yesterday, Joseph
Brecka, % years old, an employee, was
caught in the coils and his body was
drawn into the machine, breaking his
right arm and leg and crushing four o.
his ribs. He was taken to st. JOseph's
Hospital, where he died several hours
later.
Besides the force of men employed at
the bakery, it required the efforts of a
squad of policemen and two 6remen to
extricate the mans body from the mixer.
They worked for two hours in an effort
to get Brooks from the machine, and
finally it was found imperative 10 break
1t into parts with q chisel and a sledge
hammer.
The news that the man WAS caught in
the machine spread like wildfre in the
thickly populated section where the bak-
cry is, and several hundred persons
gathered in front of the building and
craned their necks attempting to get
glimpse OF the unfortunate man in his
horrible plight.

TRAPPED In OAISSON.

Tapped in smoke-filled caisSon &c
feet below ground in the Hudson river
tunnel under Fulton street, near Green
wich, dozen workmen yesterday battled
for life when fire started In a great pile
of oakum with which one of the men
was calking the seams of the wooden
frame.
Daniel Cassidy, one of the workmen,
was searching for leaks when the escap'
ing air drew the fame against the oak
um. In an instant the fire spread over
the inAammable material, giving forth a
dense, sufIocsting smoke, which quickly
filled the narrow cell in which the men
were working.
The emergency signal was given, and
when the bucket in which the men are
lifted from the compassionate chamber
was lowered the panic-stricken toilers
fought each other that they might be
frat to be released. Cassidy kept his
head and called Tor water, and with sew.
eral of the men fought the fire till the
last.
As the mtn we're extricated and stag.
gered to the outer air several fell ex-
