CHIEF MAGE ISSUES
STATEMENT OF FACTS

Correct statement Of facts regard
ing certain arrests in the city of Boz
galusa, dictated by the Chief Of Pc
Ice, Abner Magee:
"0n October goth, 1919, one, Tim
E.zelI, was arrested on warrant from
District Court, charged with inter-
fering with labor. The police depart
ment had no right or authority to
grant bond to this party. He was
carried TO Franklint0n.. La, and
placed ii jail The police depart
Faart VA reviAed end abused ia this
within the law IN every instahEer
son October 22nd, 1919, y. ".
Simmons, Tim Ezelf, L. r Williams
and Jim Spiefs, while at the New
Orleans Great Northern Railroad de-
pot, on arrival of morning tfain,
tried to make some men WHO had
come ND to work for the lumber COM
pany get back on the train, and the
police department was endeavpring
to protect them in their rights as
American citizens when the above
mentioned parties engaged in defam-
atory language and disturbed the
peace, and even cursed innocent by
ISLANDERS, who were not taking any
part in the matter. On Octobex 23rd
warrants were issued for each OF
them and they were arrested and
confined in the city Jail. These war
rants were issued from the City
Court and they were therefore COM
fined in the city Jail. They were
at no time denied bail. They were,
on the contrary, granted bail, which
they furnished and were soon at lib
erty. The police department has no
authority whatever to fix or grant
bond to anyone; this has To come
through the proper officers, which
in this instance was the city judge.
The arrests were made without any
disorder, except in one case when
one of the parties, L. =. Williams,
defied the officer to touch hims
when a weapon had to be drawn to
make the arrest. Commissioner Rea-
gan was likewise arrested on war
rant, and likewise placed in jail. It
is reported that bail was denied these
parties. This is not true. When APP
plication was made to the proper au-
thorities, bail was Immediately grant
ed. It is also reported that cash bail
was offered, but the real facts are
that when parties were signing
bonds, Mr.. Reagan announced that
he could have given $1,000 cash
bond, and Mr.. Williams stated that
he had a 500 bill in his pocket and
could have given a cash bond also.
These parties were arrested for q
disturbance at a very public place.
They, or most Of them, had reviled
and abused the officers, and, when
arrested, were placed in Jail. The
police department acted within its
rights in every instance"

Roster VIII Own
Arplane Soon

II. E. Roster, who deserted his
Ford for a round trip to Poplarville
and used an airplane, is going to
own one Of these sky machines with
in the next year unless Mrs. Roster
succeeds in changing his mind, Mr.
Roster has the distinction of being
the first citizen to come to Bogalusa
on a business trip in an airplane, and
likewise to Poplarville. In coming
to Bogalusa the machine flew at an
altitude of 5000 fees, and when they
decided to come to earth the machine
was forced to take a 1000-foot
straight drop, which gave Mr.. Res
ter quite little sensation.
The machine can make about 100
miles per hour and it is stated that
on the return trip to Poplarville that
the throttle was thrown wide open.
Mr.. Roster said that when they were
four miles from Poplarville that they
could see several miles to the west
Of Bogalusa.
He says that it is his intention to
buy q seven-p ger Curtis ma
chime and his friends can figure on
krin % Nsg 0eans or a
afternoon.

Bids for Roads
AreOut Of Reason

Unless there is some change in the
plans and specifications of the roads
for Washington parish, or unless one
of the bidders makes a decided cut
in his bid, there viii be no .work
started on the roads this year. Bids
were opened at the office of the
state engineer in New Orleans Mon
day in the presence of members of
the police jury and the lowest bid
was about $4,000 a mile, or about
$1,000 more per mile than was ex-
pected
It IS stated that the fact that local
gravel could not De used on the work
Is responsible foE tha hiess r,rts-.
No action was taken and 1t IS ex-
pected that the state engineer Will
be able to make some arrangement
with some of the bidders whereby It
will be possible to let the contract
for the work. This is expected to
come ND at the meeting Of the police
jury a week from tomorrow. In the
event that no agreement can be
reached it will be necessary to read
vertise the work.

.Bogalusa Gets
Anplane Flights

Bogalusa waited long enough Co
get her first airplane flight, but
when 1t did come it was in sufficient
numbers to make up for our DELAYS.
Lieutenant Higgins, q former avia-
tor IN the army, with his plane ar
rived in Bogalusa shortly before 10
o'clock last Sunday morning and he
made q spectacular flight, flying at
such . high altitude that he passed
through the clouds twice before land
ING. he was accompanied from Pop
larvllle BY II. E. Roster, who two
days before stated that he would not
make another flight for $4,000.
The trip from Poplarville to Bo-
gaiusa, distance Of about 10 miles
BY airline, was made in % minutes.
several of which was spent in land
ing here.
Between thirty and thirty-five cit.
liens Of Bogalusa took rides in the
plane, the first being Acting Mayor
Cassidy. Mr.. Cassidy stated that Il
was trip which he greatly enjoyed,
but he enjoyed it much more after
he was back on the ground. Gus
Mexican had about the most sensa-
tional flight, asking Lieutenant Hig-
gins to give him everything he had
in stock. All kinds Of stunts were
performed and several citizens
thought that the aviator had met
with an accident and that the ma
chine was on spill" Three ''loop-
the-loops" were performed as well a.
a nose spin" and other stunts.
Three citizens had similar expert
ences, while among those who had
desire to go for altitude was Chief
of Police Magee, who was up over
5000 feet.
Mrs. r. L. Bonney and Mrs o. J.
Sherman were among the ladies who
made the trip.
The machine remained over Nom
day and Messrs. Levert and McCau-
ley Roster had the sensational flights
and stunts on Monday. The plane
left for Poplarville Monday after
noon and H. E. Roster made the re-
turn trip.
The plane was brought to Boga-
lusa by the business men Of the city.

these plans and is considered the last

Many Halloween
Parties Friday Night

halloween night is tomorrow Fri.
day. and Bcgalusa will resound with
merTIment and doubtless the young
people will have very little more
pleasure in their way than will the
small boys with their pranks of mis-
chief. Plans have been made for
several good times and Che person
that misses smile will simply have
to be q crouch by choice.
The Mullings sisters, who live on
Virginia avenue, plan to entertain
the members of the Christian En-
deavOr and their friends in an old
fashioned entertainment, when ali
the apple and ghost tricks Of the ages
past viii be brought into play. Al
big crowd is expected and gorgeous
plans have been made.
The Joan of Arc and Camp Fire
girlS at the Y. wv. C.. Al. have ar
ranged for a party to which they
have invited their boy friends. Elab-
crate decorations have been planned
and games of merriment assure a
rip-roaring good time for all who at
tend,
A phantom party has been ar
ranged at the Pine Tree Inn by Miss
Lee Mcdonald and Miss Inez Blanch-
ard. The insignia that will admit a
young lady to the hall is either a
black or yellow costume. The prin-
cipal diversion of the evening, be-
sides the halloween pranks, will be
dancing, and it is expected that the
Pine Tree Inn viii be the scene of
a large crowd and gay time.
Besides these stated affairs, a
number Of house parties and group
parties are being planned, and it is
doubtful if any home in Bogalusa is
not touched by the spirit of festiyity
that pervades all the world on this
holiday.

CHANGE OF TIME
CAUSES MIX-UPS

You would be surprised at the
number of incidents which occurred
in Bogalusa last Sunday as q result
of the change in time. A large num-
Der who were going to New Orleans
got down to the depot an hour ahead
of time and not few vert to the
Rogalusa Country Club an hour
ahead of the scheduled arrival Of the
airpline. Several parties turned their
clocks and watches up an hour in
stead Of back ar hour, and as re-
suit were two hours ahead Of time
The extra hour came il very nicely
for the husbands who remained out
q little late on Saturday night, h0w-
ever.

Laboring Citizens
Will Be Protected

The Self Preservation and LOYALTY
League requested the acting MAYOR.
city attorney and superintendent of
schools to address the colored peoule
Wednesday afternoon at the school
Dpliolng at p. M. and a large
CROWD OF the colored citizens were
present. Some colored man, having
been shot in the foot Tuesday night

sumably by three white men, was the
reason for the meeting. The Self
Preservation and Loyalty League de-
sire the city authorities to reassure
the cOlored people, that any colored
man who wanted To work would Be,
protected, The speakers all exl
pressed a desire to see that all of The
laws were strictly observed and as
sured the people that any one violat.-
ing the laws, regardlrtsA of whether
employed or not, would Be vigorous
~ prosecuted, and said Mat while
all men recognized the right of men
to band themselves togethef to bet
ter their conditions, still, under the
American Constitutions all men were
free and had !, right 70 work If they
wanted to do so:~ and it was the pur
pose of the city authorities to see
that all men who did desire to work
would be protected in their work,
and those who wanted to Quit work
would likewise be permitted to fol-
low their own inclinations, unless
they became Migrants, or violated
some law.
The meeting was well represented
and quite q number of the members
of the Self Preservation and Loyalty
League were also in attendance. All
the speakers asked for hearty coop
GRAFTON in enforcing all laws, and
their audience that all vio-
lators, white or black, would be Wig
Orously prosecuted.

Following the shooting Of colored
workman in Bogalusa Tuesday even
ing Mayor Cassidy increased the po-
lice force when he appointed a large
number of citizen police at the sug-

to see that the laws are enforced and
that all citizens get ample protection.
