WILL DISCUSS LABOR AND
PAPER CONDITIONS

St. Louis, Sept. 14.-Labor con-
ditions and the white paper shortage
are scheduled to be the principal
topics of the discussion at the thirty
fourth annual convention of the
United Typothetae of America, an
organization of master printers,
which opened here today.
Delegates asserted the convention
probably would take action on the
closed shop and the forty-four-hour
questions.
Discussing the paper shortage,
delegates pointed out that the price
of paper stocks has increased more
than 400 per cent in the last few
years and emphasized that relief
must be secured.

Spartanburg, who is to confer with
local ministers on a plan devised by
prominent clergymen and laymen to
make available good, wholesome,
non-theatrical films to all churches.
The movement has the endorse
ment of the heads of the leading
Protestant denominations. The pro-
gram will include Biblical film
which may be used in the Sunday
School or church service on Sunday
and a complete program for rerrea-
ton or community entertainment
during the week. Dramas, comedies
travelogs and educational films will
be included. The films will be- made
bv churchmen from the church's
point of view.
The church film movement has
grown in recent years until now
more than 1000 churches have their
own projection machines but they
have been unable to get films tha>
conform to church ideals. The new
plan would assure an adequate sup
ply of acceptable films.

AIR MAIL SERVICE
TO COLUMBIA SOON
Route In Operation Before Christ
Mas Season-To Use Heavy
Planes.

Washington, Sept. 14.-It was an
nounced at the post office depart,
ment today that the bid of Alfred
w. Lawson of Chicago to carry all
mails from New York to Columbia
and Atlanta would be accepted. This
contract calls for a speed Of 12C
miles an hour and the planes are to
carry six tons of weight. They will
also carry from ten to 80 passen'
gers. When the contract is formally
signed it will call for operation ~
part of the route by November 15
and equipment and complete opera
ton by January Is, 1921.
. From what the post office officials
said today there is not the least
doubt that the New York to Colum'
bia section of the route will be in
good working order before Christ
mas, barring whatever delays ma!
come up.
; There is now nothing else to be
done in the matter but for the Law
son people to get their equipment
ready ard as this is big and re,
liable concern no material delay is
looked for.
It will thus be seen that the all
mail route is now almost certain.
ty and will become such in the very
near future.

where there was quite crowd

Smith said I'll bet you $1,000 can

in the mud" Policeman Page was
standing there and I said "How
about it, chief" and he smiled, nod
ded his head nd said "all right. "
When we turned to start out in the
street, Arthur Hughes came pushing
into the crowd. 1 caught around him
with my left arm and said to him,
What have you got to do about It,
and he said, Turn me aloose, |
don't care anything about it." Just
at his time Ernest Ashley, whom l
had not seen before that day and
! who is a cousin of mine, came into
the crowd and said "come on Bill, |
wouldn't wrestle with Wins, let's
co." Hughes pushed Ernest back
with his left hand and IL "Get
back, what have you got to do with
it." using an oath, "you think you
are the bully of the town." He
showed Ernest back a step or so and
pulled his pistol out from his left
side, with his right hand, and when
he did this Ernest Ashley went to
shooting. He shot times, in quick
succession. Hughes dropped to the
ground or pavement, with his pistol
still in his right hand. Page, who
was standing near reached down
and got Hughes pistol: AS Page was
straigtening up, said, 81 like you
better than any policeman that's
ever been here, but you're not 60
ing to shoot any-body."1 grabbed
Page around his arms from behind
him. Jess Shirley had just stepped
between Ernest Ashley and Page
and somebody followed "Shoot him,
George" Shirley turned around and
said, "You won't shoot anybody"
and Shirley stepped up to Page who
had the pistol pointed in front of
him and knocked Pages hand down
and Plumer Ashley jerked the pistol
away from Page. Page then said, 81
amt got nothing to hurt anybody"
and I said, eyes he has Plumer, get
this one off his hip, under my right
arm," and Plumer Ashley took that
pistol from Page also. I turned Page
loose. Several people were picking
up Hughes and I walked away.

ERNEST ASHLEY
GRANTED BAIL

Ernest Ashley, who shot and
killed Policeman Hughes here a few
weeks ago, and who has been con-
fined in the county Jail has been
granted bail by Judge George E.
Prince in the sum of five thousand
dollars. The application for bail was
made last Thursday morning and
the case was argued before Judge
Prince Saturday moring. The State
did not submit any additional affi-
c:v:ts, resting it's case on the testl-
mony given at the coroner's in
quest.
The defense submitted three affi-
d;,v::ts which are published below.
After his bondsmen had qualified
Ashley was released and came to his
home three miles below this place.
Following are the afidavits submit
ted by the defense.
Jess Shirley's Affidavit
State Of South Carolina-Anderson
County.
Personally comes before me jess
c. Shirley, who being duly sworn,
says:
was al Honea Path the day Ar
thur Hughes was shot. l saw Willie
Moore trying to hold Winston
Smiths arm. then walked off
few steps, looking for my boy to go
home. The speaking was over.
then walked back towards where the
crowd was and saw Arthur Hughes
shove some one back and heard him
say Damn you, you think you are
bully" saw then that it was Ernest
Ashley who had been showed back
by Hughes. l saw Hughes then reach
his right hand to his left side as If
to get his gun, and then Ernest
Ashley fired three shots. On account
of intervening bystanders, l could
not see Hughes gun when he drew
it out. But Immediately after
Hughes reached his right hand to his
left side and as it appeared to me
drew his gun therefrom, Ernest
Ashley fired three times. Hughes
fell. l stepped between Ernest Ash
ley and Hughes, as the crowd had
scattered somewhat and told Ern-
est not to shoot any more. About
that time Claude Darby also got
between Ernest and Hughes. Just
before I got between them, I saw
George Page reach down and get
Hughes pistol and straighten up
with it. AS I did so, Willie Moore
grabbed Page. I heard some one hol-
low, "Shoot him, George" I turned
and said, "No he won't shoot any
one," and also said to Ernest, "He's
not going to shoot you and don't
you shoot any more."I got imme-
diately in front Of Page and pushed
Pages hand, which had the pistol in
it, down, as my son pulled me away.
I was not armed, did not strike any
one, except to push Pages pistol
down, and all I did was to try to
keep down further trouble.

Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1920-06-10

BOgalusa has been selected by the
Y. w. C. A. as the place for holding
a statewide camp for three weeks,
commencing June %. This city was
favored because Of the large num-
Der of advantages it possesses, which
appeal to those who wish to recreate
and at the sane time improve their
knowledge along the lines which win
be stressed by those who will direct
exercises during the Fl days of pleas
ure and instruction
Through the generosity Of the
Great Southern Lumber Company, a
building win be erected on the Y. w.
C. A. grounds which win house the
dining room and kitchen. Frank
Goodyear has very kindly donated
$500 with which to equip. this struc-
ture as well as the sleeping quar-
tiers.
Leaders in the National and South
Central headquarters viii join with
the local VI W. G. Al. executives in
making the camp q success. It is
confidently expected that fifty per-
sons will enjoy the many features
of the very interesting programs
mapped out by those in charge.
The first week will be especially
devoted to the training of leaders in
work done among girls under the
banner of the Y. w. C. A. It is de-
sirable that ladies of Bogalusa who
are interested in this essential branch
of work attend these sessions. They
will be rich in their results for those
who wish to take an active part in
the work for the young girls.
For the last two weeks a girls
camp will be conducted and the lit
erature which has been sent all over
Louisiana tells the story so attrac-
lively it is not surprising that in
quiries are being. received from many
sections. To supplement the advance
information, Miss Ruth Voss, wirec-
tors of girls work in the local Y. w.
G. A. is making tour of as much
of Louisiana as she can reach in a
limited time, explaining what the
camp means and urging as many as
possible to be present.
Some idea of the enjoyable num-
bers on the program for the girls
NAV be gained when it is stated there
will be stunt nights, setting up ex-
ercises every morning, swimming
contests in the Y. w. c. A. pool,
bacon bats, hikes, tennis and other
outdoor games.
Anyone interested should apple to
the Y. w. G. A. in Bogaluea and re-
ceiye all details as to the cost Of
camp, etc.
