Brooklyn Coming
to Play Browns .

The Brooklyn Dodgers" last sea-
sons pennant winners in the National
League and the team that gave the
"Reds" the fight of their life for
the worlds championship, Are coming
to Bogalusa to play the st. Louis
Browns" on March 18th and 18th,
advises Bob Quinn, business man
ager of the st. Louis club in a let
ter to Mayor Sullivan last week. This
means that the citizens of Bogalusa
and nearby cities will have an OPP
portunity of seing a real first-class
game of ball between first division
teams, And should do more for the
sport here than any other single
thing.
Along with the advice that the
Dodgers" are coming here, Mr..
Quinn enclosed a schedule with the
other teams training in this section,
which will make Bogalusa the Mecca
of baseball fans in the South during
the month of March.
The first game will be played Sun
day, March 9Th, when the New Or
leans Pelicans, Bogalusa's favorite
Southern League team, plays against
the Browns. Saturday and Sunday,
March 18th and 18th, the Milwaukee
Club of the American Association,
which ranks next to the National and
American Leagues, play here with the
Browns.
The Dodgers are coming on the
18th and 18th, and on the 18th and
goth the 'Pels" return again, and
on March 26th and 9th it is expect
ed the Indianapolis Club of the
American Association will be here.
It is not possible to make dates
with the Cincinnati "Reds" or the
New York yankees" who are train
ing nearby, as they are both mem
bers of the American League, but it
is believed that Babe Ruth, whose
war club so lovingly lifted the fast
balls and curves of the opposing
hurlers over the fences of the Amer
lean League circuit last year, viii
come up here for az least one game.
Work on the diamonds at both
parks is progressing and the grounds
will be in first class condition by
the time the Browns arrive next
month.

the affair, being hired solely for the
purpose Of driving the car and keep
ing his mouth closed.
The other two refused to make any

Of a hardened criminal and young
Hughes in the spirit Of bravad9,
characteristic of youthful novice in
crime coached by an old-timer.
In the suitcases Of the men were
found several revolvers, as well as a
quantity of safety razors, hot water
bottles and silk shirts, which Knight
said had been purchased in order to
cash the express orders. In the Ford
a complete kit of burglars tools,
ranging from the lowly jimmy to the
most intricate of safe-cracking in
struments, was found under the seat.
The pockets of the three men con-

NAB TRIO HEREWHOHAD
$4,000 IN EXPRESS MONEY ORDERS
Had All Kinds of Burglar Tools Small Arsenal and
Plenty of Clothes, Money and Car-Being Held by
POliceand Express Officials VIII Be Here Today to
Investigate Case.

What is believed to be the biggest
arrest in the history of Bogalusa's
police department was made We'd
nesday morning when three men. Civ
ing their names as C. E. Lavell, Ralph
Hughes and c. W. knight. were ar
rested in the lobby Of the Colonial
Hotel, having in their possession
blank express money orders and C.
.. ID. orders valued at $4,000.
The men were arrested shortly
after 2 o'clock Wednesday morning,
following a telephone call from W.
G.. Herman, a druggist of Picayune,
Miss, who notified Chief of Police
Abner Magee at 9 o'clock Wednes-
day night that three men in a Ford
car had stopped for several hours in
Picayune and while there had cashed
three express money orders of $49.75
each.
Officers MizelI, Bankston and
Sharpe were assigned to the case
and shortly after word was received
from Mr. Herman, had them located
in the Colonial Hotel, where they
were making arrangements to obtain
lodging for the night. They were
unaware Of being under suspicion
and were captured without a strug-
gle, although Lavell was armed. The
car, a five-passenger Ford with
Florida license 7295-B, was parked in
front of the hotel and five suitcases
and grips, containing as fine an as
sortment Of rubber stamps, inks and
ink eradicators as could be obtained,
and blank express orders and C. o.
DIS enough to realize over $4,000,
if cashed.
At the station when questioned,
Lavell, who appeared to be the lead
err OF the trio, gave his age as 35,
his home address as Fulton, KY, and
stated he was a professional gam
bier. Hughes, the youngest member,
a 19-year-old boy, said his father
runs a pattern house on Fulton ave-
nue. in Chicago and boldly advanced
the information that ne was a pool
shark" and made his living through
his ability to push the ivory balls
about the tables.
The third members, G. w. Knight,
giving his age as % and profession
to be the owner Of the Ford, protests
his innocence, stating that he merely
furnished the car and drove for his
companions. = He gave his home adj

PAPER MILL WILL
START IN MARCH

While nothing definite has been
decided as to when the plant of the
Bogalusa Paper Company will re-
sumo operation, it is believed that
the market will improve and the
plant will be in operation the early
part of March.
Sales Manager Firth has returned
from selling trip and reports a.
large number Of inquiries, but few
orders. With the starting of many
large industries next month, it is be-
lieved the demand for Bogalusa pa
per will begin. It is hoped by COM
pany officials that at least one Of the
machines can be started the early
part of March.

Great Soutehrn Will
Continue to Operate

The plant of the Great Southern
Lumber Company will continue to
operate after February /, but it will
be necessary to close down part of
the plant and to make a general re-
duction in men and wages in all de-
partments. AS the market improves,
the men who are laid off will be put
back to work, and the wages of the
future will depend up on the market.
At the directors meeting, held in
Buffalo last week, it was decided the
mill could run as long as the plant
was not losing money, but that it
was not to the best interest of. the
company to operate and stack $685.
600 worth Of lumber per month. The
directors also made it pain that they
did not insist on the plant making a
dollar during the present times, but
that so long as it could be operated
without loss that it would be kept
running.
Sales Manager Townsend has re.
turned from trip in the Middle West
and East and reports that retailers
all have low stock, that thew are
not buying lumber. When they will
begin to stock up again is just a mat
ter of opinions.
With the announcement that there
will be a curtailment in production
comes the announcement that house
rent will be reduced for EMPLOYEES.
Inc following notice was posted on
the plant Monday, which will be of
interest to the citizens of Bogalusa:
NOTICE
On account of the bad condition
of the lumber market, it will become
necessary on February 1st TO close
down part of the plant, and also
make a general reduction in men and
wages an all departments, including
the office and logging operations.
We regret very much to have to
do this, but it is a great question
whether we are going to be able to
operate the plant very long unless
conditions improve.
The company will make some re-
ductlon in house rent, board at the
Colonial Hotel and wood. This is
about the only thing we can promise
at present, with the exception that
just as soon as the lumber market
JustltIes 1T, we will be glad to re-
sumo full operation and increase
wages, the same as we have in the
past at each time that lumber ad-
vanced.
There is one thing certain, what
ever part of the plant that is oper-
ated, it will have to be operated SO
as to get the maximum production
from the machinery in order to pro
duce lumber at a cost at which it can
be sold without loss.
Hope all men VIII take this in
friendly spirit and feel that we are
doing what is to the best interest of
themselves as well as the company.
Everybody realizes that it would
be much better for the company to
close down entirely, but this we do
got want to do. All we ask is hearty
cooperation as in the past, and we
will try to keep the mill running as
long as possible.
