the number of judges, but to enlarge
their territory, so that they may be
better paid. The judges new acting

terms and none of the recommeil-
dati0ns made are to become operative
until the present judges retire by
reason Of expiration Of their terms.
The Office Of justice Of the peace is
not to be abolished in the state. Also,

A Fermer Resident cialmed.

In last weeks issue OF the Banner
brief mention was made of the death
of Capt. w. j. Hughes, who passed
away at his hGine In Shreveport ut $50
o'clock on the evening Of the 18Th, In
his S5th year, death following an i'll
ness Of about two weeks.
Capt, Hughes was born In South
Carolina, but came to Bossier Parish
Eve Think from Georgia about the
year 1856. Five Of his uncles Messrs.
Jim, Alex. David, Robert and Frank
Hughes were already residents OF the.
parish. TpOn the. outbreak OF war
lie volunteered for service in the South
ern Army. becoming member OF the
Bossier Volunteers. the first organized
company 10 leave the parish, and its
largest During his several years Of
service lie Msis promoted to captain
and qv.arter-Inaster for the Ninth
Louisiana REGIMENT. His record us a
soldier Is without reproach--anl enyi-
able. ~
For many years Capt. Hughes was
a resident Of Rocky Mount, where he
was engaged in merchandising and
was also extensively interested IN saw
milling and planting. The trials and
reyerses Of IA country merchant he
knew for 4 long time, and many In
want did he befriend. Capt. Hughes
was kA0wil far and near throughout
RossieF as II man Of prominence and
influefce. but he will also as long be
remembered for his ln,lnly traits Of
character. No one depies that he was
ut all times charitable and his stead
fastness toward his friends is u thought
that il cherished In memory. Also, 1t
may well be said that he was ut all
times patriotic and public spirited.
Capt Hughes was son of William
Hughes, who resided in Alabama and
WHO died in that state at IN advanced
age some years ago, having once yis-
tied his son at his Rocky Mount home.
During October. 1866. he was united

Interment was in the family burial
plot in the Rocky Mount Cemetery.
Many sorrowing friends and relatives
were present to witness the last sad
scene even a number Of the old-time
darkies gathering at the cemetery to
pay this homage. The Masonic frater-

Bossier City's Traffic
Bridge Free by May lst

As result of joint conference Of
the Bridge Committee of the Police
Jury for Bossier Parish and the Conn
mission Council for the city Of Shreve-
port, held Tuesday, the traffic bridge
across Red River at Bossier City is
to become free to all daylight traffic
beginning May LIST.
This action does not come as a sur
prise. For some time past some men,
bers of the Police Jury and many resi-
dents Of the parish and Of shreveport
have been active in an effort to secure
this desired end.
Tolls are not to be collected (begin-
ming May 1st) between the hours OF
five o'clock am. and eight o'clock pm.
From eight pm. to five o'clock am.
the usual tolls are to be collected, and
this arrangement will remain effective
until fund of $25O,OOO has been ac-
cnmulated. The collection OF tolls
during all hours will not be resumed
unless there is some unforeseen disaster
to the bridge, caying banks In the river.
or the like.
II we are correctly informed, the
remaining debt over the bridge is about
$S5OOO, with the last bonds due during
1927. The City of Shreveport has as
sumed this Indebtedness. and the bal
ance in Bossier's bridge fund $15,-
2OS.3 .33 has been surrendered This
sum, added to the Shreveport bridge
fund of about $27 900, gives that city at
present something like 81, ,20S.33 as q
starter toward cleaning up all outstand-
ing Indebtedness over the bridge.

On page three Of tO-lay's issue OF
the Banner appears q good story OF a
chase with bloodhonnds to capture d
negro who has been instrumental In d
number OF burglaries recently com
nitted up and down tile Cotton Belt
hut he got away. This negro. according
to current stories, was becoming some
thing Of an adept at his chosen calling,
hut he came to grief by wearing his
stolen goods and permitting his asso-
ciates to do SO. He {Gharlie Joiles)
and q number of others were actually
arrested with goods stolen from sew
eral stores on their persons, and more
were found at their homes.
OF the number Of negroes arrested
as suspects, etc. five are still held in
the Tslrish Jail I'M this place. They
are: Willie Mae Broom, Alex Kennedy,
Frank Richards and Jerry Tourney. all
from near Alden Bridge, and Jack
Cockrell, Of Hughes Spur. Being at
present behind the liars they Will
neither engage in burglarizing stores
or receiving stolen goods. They are
safe. but their supposed leader Is still
ut large.
For the arrest Of Charlie Jones
(alias Shine) reward Of $500 is Of
fered. He is described us Of ginger
bread color, about twenty-five years
old, of heavy build, and about five feet
and ten inches III height. His right
arm was once broken and he haldles
1t little awkward When last seen
he was wearing blue eyeralls. an army
shirt, tan low-quarter Shoes, m over
seas cap and black and white silk
socks--the black stripes running up
and down.
There have been about four bur
glaries In Plain Dealing this year and
Benton. Alden Bridge and Hughes
Spur have had theirs about nine, OF
more, In all. But the pastine will no
doubt temporarily be suspended, as
the evidence already secured. together
with that yet to be had from those now
in jail. will likely lead to more arrests
and it is also likely that the leaders
are going to land In the pen.
