VOL. 45 No. 45 SHOT TO DEATH BY POSSE AFTER ROBBERIES IN LOCALITY Broke Into and Robbed Va riolls Houses Lacombe and Pearl River. REFUSES TO HALT WHEN CALLED UPON Finally Run Down After Eluding Officers On Several Occasions. Jam''s Phillips, alias R. B. Jones, was soht and killed by a posse in chase, about dark, Saturday, Sep tember 20, just south of St. Tam many atation. The fatal shot is said to have. been fired by Asa Smith. Phillips wan wanted for various rob beries. The name of the robber was unknoan at the time, but he had been 2lsely enough pushed at vari ous times to identify him when seen. Phillips had broken into and robbed various houses in that section and had worked Pearl River station, La combe, Florenville and other places. He ha I been chased from time to time an I shot at on several occasions but he defied all orders to halt and did not seem to fear being shot. His contempt for the law and defiance of the officers terminated in a search. for him being taken up by a posse headedl by Deputies Wall and Smith and resulted in his being shot to death Saturday. A bundle contain ing stoen articles was found where he had secreted it in a hollow log. Among the numerous articles in the bundle was some garlic, supposed to be used in the event bloohounds were put upon his tracks; also a bundle of sash cord, probably used to lower himself from windows. Coroner Bulloh reached the scene of the shooting Saturday night about 10 o'clck and held an inquest, the investigation bringing out the facts stated. He had the body buried. No one at the time could identify Phillips, but Sunday, the father of the man, who lives a few miles from where Phillips was shot asked that the boly be exhumed in order that he might view it. He seemed to anticip rte thL,. his wayward boy might be lying in that lonesome un loved grave. When the body was exposed he identified it immediately. He mournfully commented that dis obedience to parental authority, wilful disregard for the teachings that would have made him a respect able citizen had made him a victim of the harsh penalty of crime. It is reported that other arrests will follow in connection with the robberies of Phillips, as it is said he had accomplices. Phillips was arrested and placed in jail in Coving'on under suspician of being connected with the murder of Littln, killed and robbed at Honey Island some time around Christmas. The grand jury failed to indict and he was released. LECTURE AT ABITA TO-DAY. There will be a meeting in the Town hlall this afternoon in Abita Springt, at 4 o'clock.

Mandeville, La., Sept. 20. Editor St. Tammany Farmer: I don't want to take up too much of your time and space of your valu able pa.per, but your editorial of Sep tember i,mh, commenting on my letter of Sept. 3, leaves the impression with the readers of The Farmer as if I had criticised the school board. 1 -Would ike to correct this impression. When I wrote tha: letter 1 never had .the school board in my mind. I think our school board has done ex ceedingly well with the money they have at their disposal and no criti cism is die Ihem from me. Our publ:c school system has been great ly imp'ovedl in the last few years .by that bhard. with the assistance of our able superintendent, Mr. Lyon. A,1 honor to them. I could not criti ielse the school board for spending the ro .l and dlipping vat funds be cause they have nothing to do with those funds. i did say "may it not be possible that we get the same re sults fat our school taxes as we did with o.ir road taxes, and therefore the pople should be careful who they put in that position to handle that funl." There is no criticism in that as far as I can see it of the school bcard. I am acquainted with some of the m:1embers of that board personally and I Itnow they stand in the highest esteem in their respective communi ties. * * * Yours truly, J. MURKL. N. 0. G. N. WILL BUILD DEPOT IN COVINGTON 90 DAYS JAN. 1 Manager Farris Desires To Meet People and Talk Over Plans. ASKS THE PEOPLE FOR CO-OPERATION Expresses, a Desire For a Harmonious and Mutual Solving of Problems. Attorney F. J. Heintz states that the N. O. G. N. will build the new depot rAt Covington within ninetty days after January 1. January 1st the railroads will go back into the hands of its private owners. While the company will be left without the financial support it would have had with the funds it is entitled to, at the same time the Government will make provision for a certain amount of credit that will enable re-establish ment of business on lines decided up on by the company, and it is hoped to establish such relations with the public as will bring interest and co operation in the readjustment that is necessary. Manager Farris desires to meet the people of this parish and to talk over matters with themn. He is very desirous of establishing friendly re lations with the people and will adopt the most conciliatory policy that is practicable. Of course there is muca that should be done that cannot be done under present condi tions, out he wishes to do all he can do. The interests of both the peo ple an.i road demand co-operative work. It is asked that every one interest ed in good service and desirous of assisting in working out a mutually beneficial program meet some of the officials of the road at the courthouse Monday at 10:30 a. m. Mandeville people, who are also interested in the erection of a depot, should attend the meeting. CURB MARKET cHANGES HOU'RS.

The Tangipahoa Parish Fair, at Hammond, La., promises to be a very interesing and instructive affair, this year. It will be held October 8, 9, 10 and 11. Invitation is extended to St. Tammany parish people to at tend. As our own fair occurs a lit tle later, it would be a valuable ex perience to run over and take note as to just where we fall short or ex ceed them in our own undertakings. Hammond has turned out some good fairs. A better fair is well worth seeing. It is only twenty miles from Covin.g:on. Take a run over in your car. _ -0---- Dr. A. H. Grimmer has bought the Wejss residence. Inability to get fuel oil cut out the electric lights awhile Friday night. Mrs. Powlee, of Abita Springs, one of the best trained colored nurses in the parish, with a large clientetle throughout the parish, is away for a while, visiting her daughter. Mr. C. F.

She will talk in Abita Springs this afternoon at 4 o'clock. T;ie !unds available for the local branch of this department is $6000, enough to maintain it for a year. After that the work would have to be supported locally and would re ceive some assistance from the funds raised by roll call solicitations. The merit of the service rendered in this department is so evident that it is thought it will be strongly support eId after the benefits have been ex perienced. Hon. F. J. Heintz, juvenile officer, strongly urges the adoption of the service r nd the combining with itp other v.ork the care of dependent juveniles that now remain uncared for because the law has made no provision for them. He made a strong appeal for the care of the juvenilcs before the Executive Board yesterday. 'He has personally cared for and found homes for quite a numnber of them, but it is beyond reason to expect that he may be able to lirov:de for all. - --0--- HARD WORK OR HARlI) TIMES. (By Theo. H. Price.) As a result of the world war Ald :he almost world-wide epidemic 4 influenza the world's working forCe has lost at least 10,000,000 able bodied men. Eliminating Russia, which is still a cipher in so far as her productive power is concerned, the belligerent countries of Europe and the United es had a pre-war population of ab . 350,000,000 ,per sonap. At the most liberal estimate this; population did not include more than 100,000,000 men that were old anobg'1 and not too old to be pro ductive. The reduction in the world's man power attributable to war and dis ease is, therefore, not less than ten per cent. The actual reduction is probably greater, for the birth rate has. decreased and millions of men have been disabled while other mil lions are still under arms. Desp.te this reduction in the num ber'of 'yving men those who are left have been generally insisting upon an eight-hour day and a forty-four hour week instead of the ten-hour day and the fifty-six hours week that was the rule in most industries be fore the war. This reduction in their working time means a further cur tailment of twenty per cent in pro duction, for the theory that the average workman can do as much in eight hours as he formerly did in ten has been pretty well exploded by recent experience. These figures make it clear that the effective energy of Europe and America is at least .thirty per cent less than it was five years ago. This means a correspondingly lessened production of the things that we re quire or think we need, *and as no one seems to be willing to do with less than formerly, the result is a violent upbidding of prices that in creases the cost of living, but does not: decrease the supply of produc tion of commodities. T'his truism has been so often set forth of late that it has become trite and almost overbearing, but we are moved to restate it because a Labor Con4ference is shoitly to be held in WVshinton at which, we fear, it will be =urged that there is some other cure than more work for a predica mept that is plainly the result of too little work. It should be made clear that the men of this country and Europe w'ho survive the war will have to eat less and life in less comfort and luxury than formerly if they are unwilling o .work as hard or as long as they used to. There is no alchemy that wijl convert idleness into wealth or six hours of work into ten hours of production. If the pre-war standard of living is :to be maintained, the pre-war standar.l of labor and efficiency must be preserved. Ujnless the Labor Unions can be made to understand this truth by argument, we are afraid that it will )eare to be brought home to them byi the 1hunger and distress that will GOVERNMENTI FOOD SALE IS SOON OVER The sale of Government food sup plies by the women of the Progres sive Union, last Monday, was met with a iush that made it impossible for all to get inside the building. Many iwent home in hopeless despair. Others clung to the job and succeed ed in carrying away "the bacon." This was the first experience here in selling Government supplies, and the qui.k manner in which the things disappeared was both a relief and a surprise. It is probable that more goods w ill be ordered and another sa'e held. A sale of this kind cannot be made without some criticism. The early' grabbing of the most desirable things by -people who had the money and got there first created a feeling among some that as usual the poor nran didn't have a chance. The fact is, the committee could not break packages, because they could not handle the business that way. Mayor Badon was anxious that the small buyers should be served, but it would be a difficult mlatter to so check the buying as to have all served. It was simply a matter of first come first served. There was also some criticism of the selling to men who had stqres. It might have been better to refuse to sell to any storekeeper, but be fore any sa:le was made it was pledg 2d that the goods were'not to be re sold but were to be used in the family. They were bought for fami ly use because they could be bought cheaper -than the wholesale price paid by dealers. The only provisions left were some cans of corn beef. There were $600 worth of this beef and the demand for it was not as strong as for other things. It can still be bought and no doubt will all be disposed of. 1MRS. J. B. CEFALU. Covington people were shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. J. B. Cefalu, in New Orleans, last Mon day. Mrs. Cefalu is the mother of Mrs. Lewis L. Morgan, of Covington, and had many friends here who are sorry to learn of her death. 'Mrs. Cefalu underwent a serious opera tion last week. Parkview Theatre has been cut in two and moving of the two halves is now under way. The building is to be located across the street from the old location, and it will probably be a week befoie the work is com ple'ed end shows again started. -0--- Dis:nanteling of the old building next to the Patecek store is now un der way and will be replaced "y a modern brick building. When this structure is completed that part of the town will present a neat front. DELIGHTED WITH TRIP TO NOR FOLK, VA. Editor St. Tamman Farmer: Dear Sir:-I was delighted with my trip to Norfolk, and I wish the colored people of Covington to know of the wonderful influence of educa tion upon our race. The negroes of that city are intelligent and indus trious, work hard and save. The negroes of Covington could be as prosper'ous if they would work and take advantage of their opportuni ties, because our opportunities are very great here. I found the Bap tist preachers progressive. They ac complish big things and the mem bers of the church co-operate with him. We raised $20,000 for home and foreign missions and for schools and orihan children. I thank the white leaders for help ing me in the expense of my trip, they having donated $65.00. We can do a great many things if we will. The Lord has shown the way; we have but to follow His teachings. RFJV. H. G. RANDLE. inevitably overtake their members. At present they seem to be living in a foil's paradise, deluded with the idea that the fewer hours they work, the more per hour they are entitled Ito recaeive. Precisely the reverse is the case and the sooner the logic of the fa:ts is understood the better It will be for all concerned. I FAIR WILL HAVE AEROPLANE FLIGHT "Barring sicknes or accident, I will fly at your fair October 16, 17, 18 and 19, 1919. "J. M. WINDHAM." The above telegram assures us of a treat---sometiilng new under the sun for St. Tamlnany pariah. Here then 20,000 people will see their first aeroplane and have their first opportunity to go up in one. Another feature lately- scheduled for the fair is a 'orse race with lady jockies. It is reported by a citizen of the Second Ward th4t there will 'be more 1ponies from therS for the races than we can handle. But we think we will taste care of them. This citizen reported that the roads up in his ward are kept hat by the boys train ing their horses for the fair.. Major from the First Ward doesn't intend that all the honors will go to the Second Ward, and Is getting familiar with the track. The grass is being mowed and everybody is invited to come out and practice their horses on the track. Bring Exhibits Now. For c,nvenience of the people who live a !ong distance from the fair grounds, the Assiieation invites them to bring their exdhibits that are ready as they come to Covington on busi ness, any day, from now on.

JAHNCKE TALKS TO MEN ABOUT CLOSING OF YARDS As President of Company, Mr. Jahncke Thanks the Men for Efficiency. MADE BEST WOODEN SHIPS TURNED OUT Cannot Compete In Private Contracts Under Pres ent High Wage. The S. S. Tchefuncta was launched Saturday, Sept. 20, at 1:05 p. m., in the presence of a large crowd of local people and a good many viasit ore from New Orleans. This hull is the fifth of the ships contracted for by the U. S. Shipping Board with the Jahncke Shipbuilding Co. The S. S. Pontchartrain left the shipyard at 8:10 a. m., Sunday, Sept. 21, with Mr. E. V. Heughan in com- 1 mand until she is accepted by and turned over to the Shipping Board. As to the future of the yard, the following bulletin, which is posted in the Jahncke Shipyard at Madison- i ville, will convey an idea of the yard's future prospects: To the Employees of the Jahncke Shipbuilding Co., Madisonville. I With the signing of the armistice on the 11th day of November, 1918, our government, acting in the inter- f est of the general public welfare, im- 4 mediately ordered a definite policy of curtailing all war expenditures. In accordance with this definite e ,policy, the United States Shipping I Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation, suspended work on practically all un completed wooden vessels which were being constructed in the United i States for war emergency purposes. 1 The Board of Trustees of the U. S. Shipping Board, under this retrench ment, has ordered the Emergency Fleet Corporation to cancel seven of the Jatucke wooden vessels. With the completion of the S. S. I Pontchartrain, and the launching of 1 the S. S. Tchefuncta, we will there- f fore have completed our war ac tivities. I wish to take this occasion, as a President of this company, and as I your friend, to thank each and every man employed 'by us during the past i two years for his loyal support to the I United States Government and active t co-operation with us in building the t emergency merchant ships so urgent ly needed by our country during the I war. The good, conscientious work 4 which you men did during the war period is now showing its results. I The ships built by the Jahncke Ship- I building Corporation at Madisonville 4 have all proven to be sea-worthy a crafts. I Each and every vessel we built I has received from the United States I Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation, and the American Bu- I reau of Shipping, the highest quali fication permissible under the rules I of the Classification Societies of New I York. The credit for building good ships 4 belongs entirely to you men, and it I must be indeed great satisfaction to you to know that the ships which you built have been classed as the best 1 vessels in the United States. And now that the wooden ships have been recognized throughout the I United States as having filled the I emergency situation, and since they cannot possibly, in the future, com pete with steel ships for trans-At lantic service, for this reason, to gether with the unsettled industrial and labor conditions now prevailing throughout the country, we will not be able to continue active operation at our shipbuilding plant here. It must be apparent to all of you men that the scale of wages which have been paid by the U. 8. Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation, on these emergency ships, will not enable us to secure future contracts when we have to meet commercial competition of foreign countries. Therefore, until a definite and fixed basis is arrived at, which will take care of the new industrial conditions, and also obtain for the men a fair complensation for their work, we can not say, at this time, when we will be able to re-open this yard. For reasons as above stated, this shipbuilding plant will be closed on September 30, 1919. Very respectfully, ERNEST LEE JAHNCKE. THE DANCE. Possibly the last of the big dances to be given this season was held at the Riverside Pavilion, Saturday, Sept. 20. Schilling's Band rendered music for the occasion. A DELIGHTFUL SPAGHETTI' SUPPER. Monday, Sept. 22, a spaghetti sup per was given at the Pavilion. The participants were officials and ship builders of the Jahncke Shipbuilding Co., town offielals and prominent busines men of Madeisonville. The alair took an the appearance of a farewell banquet. Many were the expressions of regret from all who spoke of the day of narting-Tues day, Sept. 30th, 1919. Mr. Ed. T. Malloy gave an excel lent toast commending the patriotic efforts of the shipbuilders and the hearty co-operation he received from the people, town officials and busi ness men of Madisonville. Mr. Paul A. Blanchard responded for the town, praising the work of the officials and shipbuilders in gen eral. Both were long and loudly applauded. The evening wts one of good fellowship. Mr. Godfred Cale cas entertained at the piano, while Mr. E. Kelly fasciantingly rendered selections on the violin. Mr. John Davis with voice that delighted all, sang several of the latest songs. *Mr. Wallace Ballam, a local artist, played "some" jazz that elicited much applause. Owing to the absence of Mayor Oullibsr, who is in New Orleans on account of the illness of his wife, Hon. W. H. Bohning is acting mayor pro tem. Judging from the proceed ings of the Mayor's Court a few days ago, the way of the transgressor will be hard. PATTER. I am told that Cupid strikes the match That sets the world aglow; But whore Cupid strikes the match Is wnat I would like to know. I dreamt last night that you bought me a new hat. Well, that's the -first dream of a hat that didn't cost me some money. Hubby, am I as dear to you now as when you were courting me? Not as dear, but more expensive. September Morn-that's guaran teed by the pure nood law. If you want to keep well informed, subscribe to a paper. Even a paper of pins will give you a few points. Louis Stockfleth knows a new song entitled "The Old Wooden BucKet." I wonder if he made it up out of his own head. Wourl you like to do some light reading? Yes? Go down and read the electric meter. We are taught that this is a free country-and it costs four thousand dollars a year to live. J don't think it is worth it. Back in the time of the lood men were equal---every body was in the swim then. Look at the price of everything. Eggs 70c a dozen-you are compelled to hold your breath-get them any cheaper and you are compelled to hold your nose. Doughnuts are getting small er and the holes are getting bigger. If you want to get a decent living these days you have to be either I thief or a millionaire. I understand that they have put a tax on clothes. When you kick to the ailer and re fuse to buy a suit at present prices, all he tells you to do is "suit your self." The trusts are a combination of men that love their country and have become so interested, in its wel fare that they have decided to obtain all the money and divide it equally among themselves. The trusts com plain that the government is making too many laws against them. They say they are not making anything. The perfume trust says that they are not making a cent. The lemon trust says every one is trying to squeeze them. Nearly all the stock ing factories are open works, and a lot of them should be closed. You can bet that they are going after the fellows that charge so much for their goods. The other day a watch fac tory was compelled to wind up their business. Man wants but little here below. Yes, and he gets it-when he goes to the grocery store with less than ten dollars. The great trouble with our country is we are living too fast. Yes, we're living too quick. Look at the automobiles-yes, and youid better look quick if you try to cross the street in front of one. Tihs is the day of inventions. We have horseless wagons and boozeless booze. Last Saturday I took a stroll down the strest. I heard a little bird sing ing. I said to myself, that little bird is singing for men. A fellow behind me said it was singing for him. I said, no, it is singing for me. He hit me and I hit him. We were arrested and taken before the judge. The Judge asked what I had to say. I told him the circumstances. The judge raid, twenty dollars each; it wasn't singing for either of you; it was singing for me. I had no money so I couldn't pay the fine. They or dered me searched. All they found on me was a yeast cake. The judge fined me an additional ten dollars for carrying concealed weapons. I said, Judge, that isn't concealed weapon. He said,it's a kind of a raiser. I said, give me the yeast cake and I will go out and see if I can ra se the dough. I visited a town where they were raising a subscription for the pur pose of building a fence around the cemetery. Every one had donated very liberally except one fellow. He was opposed to fencing it in for two reasons. 'He said, in the first place there is no one in the graveyard that could get out; in the second place Sthere is no one out that wanted to get in, SDr. Smith went out in the country. SHe fell into a well and was drowned. t ContinueC on pags 4)
