RESOLUTION NO o.

To call a special election for the
purpose Of submitting to the property
taxpayers of the City Of Bogalusa,
Louisiana, the proposition Of levying
q special tax, for the years 1920,
1921, 1922, 1928, 1924, 1925, 1925,
1927, 1928, 1929 and 1880 Of FIVE

sewer and water systems in the City
Of BOgalusa, Louisiana, 4 mills for
roads, streets, bridges, crossings, etc.,
and Y mill for sewer and water ex-
tensions and making all provisions

Whereas it appears that on ac-
count Of the great increase in cost
of materials and supplies and labor,
and the growth of this city, the pres
ent revenues of the city, for the erec-
ton and construction of roads,
streets, bridges, crossings, and the
extension of the sewer and water sys-
TENS Of the city, are not sufficient
to meet the requirements Of the
city, and are not likely to be with
out special taxes in support thereof,
and it being considered for the best
interests Of the city at large, and the
citizens thereof, that special taxes be
voted to aid in this permanent i'm
prOvement work,

struggled In, In groups, they were
astonished to have loaded rifles pre-
sented before them and to hear the
order to surrender.
The marines might we'll be surprised.
since they came for the very innocent
purpose Of drawing their pay. Word
mad been passed around among them
that they were to assemble on that
morning to draw their back pay. due
at the time Of their disbandment. The
ex-tailor, Max Mueller, had committed
the tragical blunder Of calling the men
there without getting a license for the
meeting, or even informing the mill
tary or police authorities chat it had
been called. He had even told them
that 1t was advisable to bring their
arms, but very few actually brought
firearms.
And so Marloh and the marines con-
fronted each other under a complete
Misunderstanding, but it was not
time for explanations, according to
Marloh's military standpoint. He ar
rested tho men as they came in, dis
arming those who carried firearms.
The latter were only a small number,
but about three-fourths Of the arrested
men, says Marloh, carried daggers,
knives and other fighting gear In their
pockets. The arrests proceeded till by
II o'clock they recahed 100. Then
Marloh began to get nervous. His
prisoners now outnumbered his own
troop already three to one, and the
arrests were proceeding steadily. He
began to telephone to headquarters for
reinforcements, representing his posi-
tion 90 dangerous. He testified in the
New-York tribune., 1920-01-04

trial that about half Of the marines
offered violent resistance when arrest
ed. Moreover, the arrested marines
showed a sullen mood, and he feared
an attempt to overpower his troop,
seize their arms and make an end of
them.
Prisoners We're Separated
Marloh. meanwhile, had taken meas
rres to avoid an attempt to overpowet
him. His orders from Colonel Rein
hard had been only to arrest the ma
rines and take them to prison in Moa-
pit, In tho northwest part Of the city.
He began to prepare for this by Sc
lecting what seemed the most danger
Gus men and separating them from the
rest, placing them in q dark room. The
selections were made in q very hap
hazard manner: the men were made to
file past Marloh, and he picked out. he
says, those that looked intelligent and
likely to lead muntiny, and those
that wore expensive uniforms" Also
those that wore watches or other Jew.
elry that laid them under the suspicion
Of having taken part in pillaginR were
selected.
But this haphazard selection proved
to be the telling off Of men Tor execu-
tion. as the tragical result showed.
Marloh's nervous telephone call for
help inspired nervousness at head
quarters. and Lieutenant Schroeder
was sent by Reinhard to say that he
expected no wavering, no mild-hearted-
ness--"he must proceed with energy. !"
Later on Lieutenant Wehmeyer also
came with more specific orders, which

Rump, whose sister married an uncle
Of Marloh and in whose house Marloh
visited daily, finally assumed the role
Of Spiritual adviser" and almost COM
PEELED Marloh to go away.
In all the miserable business Won
Kessel played wretched part. 1t was
owing to the sharpened and aggravated
form in which he had passed Reinhard's g
orders on to Marloh that the marines
were shot. Won Kessel also forged the
papers on which Marloh travelled after
running away and supplied him with
money when he left Berlin. OF al the
Won Kessel certainly cut the sorfiest
figure. He has been arrested and will
be brought to trial, but not, appar-
emily, for murder.
The court before which Marloh was
tried consisted Of seven men, all Off
GERS or soldiers. Of course, they looked
upon the case with the eyes Of military
men, judging Of Marloh's acts as Off
GERS accustomed to obey orders and
leave it to their superior officers to
bear the responsibility for the orders
themselves. Yet the presiding officer
himself said in giving Judgment that
Marloh was not justified, effectively,
in shooting the marines; for the re-
blSLAUC0 contemplated III kcucLal OTUeT6
instituting martial law applied only to
persons caught red-handed fighting
against the government or in the act
Of pillaging. However, Marloh had
orders which he believed to compel
him to shoot down the marines; and
the fact that he believed this-proved
by number OF witnesses-exculpsted
him. The fact was also mentioned as
mitigation that Marloh had been
badly wounded in the head, which has
made him nervous and of rather un-
balanced Judgment.
The most charitable conclusion that
can be reached about this whole affair
is that all the principals in the case
lost their heads and acted beyond
what the facts demanded. Marloh far
overrated the danger Of HIS position {;
and his nervous calls for reinforce
ments inspired Colonel Reinhard with
an anxiety that was not warranted. He
issued energetic orders Of a general
character, which were then put into
far more specific language by Won
Kessel.
The while situation was Judged In an
exaggerated way, under t:..s influence
Of the insurrection that had prevailed d
for q week. And the tailor Mueller
with his bungling call for the payday
gathering, unwittingly prepared The
way for the tragedy.

Special CorreeponAsnes

CVVUt0$ OO75@epVU00UC0
OTTAWA, Jan. 3.-The Liberals Of
Canada are taking active steps to
bolster up their organization and to
prepare for meeting both the growing
strength Of the farmers and the pos
sibility Of an election before long.
Mackenzie King, Liberal leader in the
House and SUCCESSOR to the late Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, will hold meetings
throughout Canada starting next week,
and will place before the people the
main plarlks Of the Liberal platform,
az agreed on at the Liberal convention
here some weeks ago. Owing to the
short time between the New Year and
the opening of Parliament-probably
IN February--only the large cities will
a as visited Asar.% At Hsssoa dtay 5t Is pfss s
appointed Dominion Liberal secretary,
will accompany Mr.. King.
A central information bureau Is to
be located here and other changes made
to bolster UP the party. A national
organizer may also be appointed, and
the Liberals may decide to resume "The
Liberal Monthly" published here for
some years.
Mr.. King il familiar to New Workers.
because OF MIS- connection With the
Rockefeller Foundation for some years.
He is q young man and lie considered
an authority in matters pertaining to
labor legislation--having been Minister
Of Labor for some years when the
Laurier government was in power.
He figured in . keen contest here In
August, when some 1000 Liberals from
all the provinces met to select a sue
cessor to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The
final choice was between Mr.. King and
W. 8. Fieldin9-known to Americans as
the man who proposed reciprocity with
the United States in 1911. During the
war Fielding lined up with the Union
government, taking the ground that
that administration was right in it's
attitude on conscription during time
Of war. Quebec was solidly against
this, and, never having forgiven what
they regarded as Fielding's slight to
their idol, Quebec voted almost solidly
for King.
The result is that he takes his seat
as leader Of the Liberal wing Of the
government at an important period,
when farmers with growing strength
threaten to enter the Federal area.
For years Quebec has voted Liberal
solidly, and now out Of their member
ship Of sixty-hve more than sixty are
Liberals, but it is an indication OF the
times that even this week farmers are

CAR SHORTAGE $

Gives Warning to Shippers and
 Asks Cooperation

Washington, Jan. 23.--Warning of d car shortage during the next two months was issued to shippers today by Director General Hines of the railroad administration, with a re- quest for continued cooperation to make the best of the situation.
 The director general pledges the railroad administration to make every effort to meet the condition and points out what he characterizes as the limitations with which it will have to deal
 General industrial activity, the set back which transportation suffered during the coal strike and the fact that the railroad administration, fac ing an early return of the roads to private owners may not buy addi- tional freight cars are the principle elements in the problem, the direc- tor general says:
 TO make this inadequate amount of equipment go as far as possible" says the director general. the rail road administration has pooled equip ment in order to equalize the supply as far as possible and give all ship pCrS equal treatment possible under the circumstances; has made use of the permit system in order to avoid accumulatiOnS; has appoint ed special terminal committees 10 speed up the movement of freight through terminals where a great deal of delay has occurred in the past; during the prevalence of difficult sit uutiOnS in the wheat growing terri tory has given preference to the load I,>,r nf tI,n placed the refrigerator car supply of the country under one agency to get the maximum utility out of all such cars aVailab ble; has carried on a con stant campaign to bring about heaN- fer loading of equipment during the prevalence of the greatest need for the movement of coal and at the present time has given coal prefer cnce for loading in open-top equip mcnt; has eliminated circuitouS routes as far as practicable; has transferred locomotives at different times to the portions of the country where they were needed the most; and has given special attention through centralized agencies to ike care of seasonal re- quirements and meet peculiar condi- tiOnS which have resulted from bad weather and certain drought cOndi- tions, and in every way has tried to the very utmost to make the equip ment and locom olives available do the greatest possible amount of serv- ice.
 By reason of these eXpedients of uuilication the railroads were enabled in the fall of 1919 to handle an CN- ccpti0nally large business under eX- rCptionalIN difficult conditions. The postpOncmcnt of buying in the spring

The problem has been intensified by the falling off in loading per car from 1918. when under pressure of the war very heavy loading was se- cured. The loading per loaded freight car fell from an average of 29.2 tons in the first II months of 1918 to 27.S tons for the same period of t919, or decrease of 4,s9 per cent, this rep resenting a loss of more than 105.- 900 cars aNaila hle for loading.
