STEEL SHIPS TO
BE LAUNCHED
SOON AT
SLIDELL
Commodore Jahnke of Mad
isonville Yards Says
Teche Soon Ready
PART OF MACHINERY
IS NOW INSTALLED
Another Shipyard Soon To
Be Installed At
Slidell
Slidell, La., July 5, 1918.
*No launching of ships occurred
here yesterday, but General Manager
S. Cuyler Jenkins advises work on
five steel ships progressing finely and
launchings will occur with regularity
within six weeks.
At Madisonville :yesterday the good
ship Bayou Teche, 3500 ton Ferris
type wood and steel reinforceme nt
construction, took the water as
gracefully as any ship ever launchel.
Commodore Jahncke was well pleas
ed with the accomplishment of his
men in their first product, and ex
pressed his appreciation of the ser
vices of all the men from Superin
tendent HuelinJ on down.
The ship yar I is modern in every
respect, and is beautitdiry sitaatei
among spreading oaks, and on the
banks of the Tiaefuncta river, w.a1ca
affords an ideal launching ,basin.
The quarters for employees are con
veniently near, clean, sanitary and
healthful, and being located in the
Ozone Belt affords as fine conditions
under which to work as can be found
in America or elsewhere.
Commodore Jahncke says the
Bayou Teche is now drawing aboat
eleven feet with only part of the
machinery installed, and that the
boat would be ready to move from
the yards in about thirty days, and
that every precaution would be taken
to deliver her to a- deep water port,
even though it may be necessary to
have a dredge preceed her to clear
out a channel.
The Slidell baseball team wallop
ed the 1Eberhard team of New Or
leans, on the Fourth, by a score of
five to two. Iceman Vogel ani
Churchill worked for the Eberhards
while Lefty Verret and Cazelot op
posed them.
The Slidell team left Friday on a
trip to Pascagoula to play the Dirka
Blodgett Ship Building team of that
city, on Saturday and Sunday.
Hon. C. M. Liddle has been seri
ously ill for the past few days, but is
reported much better to-day July 5).
The Glorious Fourth was celebrat
ed generall here. Great crowds at
tended the Red Cross and Red Men
festival anddance, given at Red Men
Hall and school graunds.
A special excursion will be made
on the good boat Lee M. Salmen to
Pascagoula, on account of the ball
game there between our local team
and the ship building team of Pasca
goula. A number of our citi.ens
will accompany t1 team, which will
be under the m nagemetn of Sulpt.
ghipfltters K. K. Jones, of the local
ship yards, and we have no doubt
they will give creditable accounts of
themselves. We are also advised
that Umpires Shaefer, late of the
Southern League, and Henley, will
accompany the team, as well as the
special correspondent of the Times
Picayune.
Another Slidell Ship Yard.
Slidell has another ship yard to
its credit now. Former Superin
tendent Andrew D. Canulette, of the
Louisiana Shipbuilding Corporation,
has formed a new company, and has
commenced operation 'o' the new
yard, which is located on Bayou Vin
cent, and to be known as Slidell Dry
Dock and Ship Building Co. Work
has already been contracted for, and
Stpt. Canulette is now in Washing
ton, and will visit other eastern cities
arranging for further contracts, as
well as for supplies, and the ship
building industry w'll no doubt be
a permanent feature of this section
for an indefinite period in the future.
The Slidell baseball club cam"
home from its Pascagoula trip vic
torious, having won both games
Scores, 3-1, 14-10. It is said that
some fine playing was done.
PARISH FAIR GETTING READY.
The Parish Fair directors are now
preparing a program for the fair this
fall. There is an opportunity to have
one of the best fairs we have yet
held.. It is probable that the Fair
Association will take over some of
the concessions itself, as it may no
a proftable venture. Just what
these are Mr. Warner is not ready to
state. Farmers should save their
!best to be exhibited at the fair.

necessities, the shortage of farm
labor, and the training of troops at
most of the State colleges, the Sixth
Annual Short Course, which was to

mer for the Agricultural Club Mem
bers has been postponed for the fol
lowing reasons:
First-The University has made
arrangements with the National Gov

enlisted soldiers during the summer
months. These men will use all
available space at the University.
Second-The increased cost in
railroad rates makes, traveling ex

funds to defray the expenses of the
club members have been heavily tax

which we are now engaged.

DISTRICT COURT
HAS BUSY TIME
WITH NIGHT
SESSIONS
Jury in Mullally vs. Fed
erico Brings in Verdict
for Defendant
CONVICTIONS GIVEN
IN CRIMINAL CASES
Sharp Found Guilty; Evans
Gets One Year in Jail
and Work Roads
Cases before the District Court
this weelP have been more or less of
a sensational nature and awakened
considerable public interest. Judge
Carter presided and District Attorney
urock prosecuted. Jud e Carter is
desirous of keeping the docket clear
and night sessions were held.
A case of more than usual Interest
was the damage suit of James Mul
ialy against Joe. Federico for $"uUU
:or assault. This case had oeen
w~ept out of the papers in order that
puntic sentiment might not Je creat
ed for or against the parties, and
Judgment in the trial of Jos. Fed
erico under indictment for carrying
a concealed weapon, arising from the
same incident, was witnheld by
Judge Carter until the retirement of
the jury in the damage suit, to avoid
any iniluence it mignt have on the
jury. Testimony In the indictment
case showed that the Mayor had
made Mr. Federico a deputy, and the
plea was made that gA piteaU y.
was privileged to carry arms. The
Court decided that no officer, not
even the sheriff, had the right to
go armed except when in the dis
charge of his duties as such, but that
in view of the tact that Mr. Federico
may have thought he had the right
by reason of being a deputy, that he
would impose the minimum fine of
$100, and in default twelve months
in jail.
The testimony in the damage suit
proved clearly that there was an as
sault, Federico admitting that he
struck Mullally with a stick. The
question of justification seemed to be
the principal issue, and it was at
tempted to prove that Federico lay
in wait for Mullally and assaulted
him under cover of a revolver. Fed
erico testified that he did not draw
his revolver, while Mullally testified
that he was covered by it for live
minutes and that his arm was badly
injured by the beating he received
from the stick. A large number of
character witnesses were produced
by the defense to impeach the veraci-i
ty of Mullally aid most of them
swore they would not believe him
under oath.
The cause or the assauntt was tne
meeting of Mullally and party at the
residence of Federicb to adjust cer
tain matters relative to gossip, at
which time Federico claimed that
Mullally had said that his (Federi
co's) wife was nd lady, due to re
marks it was claimed she had made.
It was next day after this that the
assault was made.
The usual instructions were given
by Judge Carter, as well as several
social instructions asked by the at
torneys. The Judge told thq jury
they were judges of both the law
and the fact, and he read the law to
them from the statutes. The jury
was out about half an hour and re
turned a verdict for the defendant.
Polling ofat the jury showed that there
were ten jurors coinciding in this
verdict and two against it.
In the case of Dallas Sharp, charg
ed with carnal knowledge, the cir
cumstances were especially revolt
ing, the act having taken place, it
was testified, just previous to the
marriage of the girl, who was said to
have been but fourteen years of age,
although the marriage license was
obtained under the age of 18, Sharp
being a her stepfather. The Jury
brought in a verdict of guilty. To
be sentenced.
The case of' the State vs. Fred
Evans was prosecuted under the
charge of larceny. It was charged
that Evans entered the Catholic
Church at Madisonville and desecrat
ed the altar and confessional in a
filthy manner while drunk, and that
he drank the wine and detached nart
of a certain service. Evans claimed
he could not remember doing these
things and could not believe he did
them, as he was a Catholic. In sen
tencing him, Judge Carter laid he
would give him the limit and regret
ted he could not make it ten years.
He was sentenced to one year in the
parish jail, subject to work on the
public roads, and in default of pay
ment of $500 fine, another year in
the jail.
