New Man for Cincinnati Office 



Thfo. Davis has taken chargt- of all traffic affairs of the Southern Hard- 

 wooil Traffic -Association in Central and Eastern territory, with headquar- 

 ters at Cincinnati, O. He was apiJOinted district manager at Cincinnati 

 Feb. 9 and entered upon his duties inimediately. Mr. Davis, prior tn 

 accepting his present pifsition, served shippers iu central and eastern 

 territo^.^■ in handling rate and traffic matters. He made his headquarters 

 at Colunilms. O. Owinj; to his familiarity with his work and owing to 

 this large acquaintance with the lumliermen whom he will serve in his 

 present capacity, the association c(msiders itself extremely fortunate in 

 heing able to enlist him on its staff of experts, Mr, Davis succeeds Disti;ict- 

 Manager Lockwood, who left the employ of the association some time agfi. 

 The Cincinnati offices ha\'e not made as good showing as those at Mem- 

 phis. New Orleans, Louisville and Helena, .\rk., l)Ut Mr. Davis is expected 

 to bring his offices in line rapidly iu the matter of both membership and 

 service. 



hardwood and pine saw mills are shut down. With labor and many other 

 items of expense connected with the production of lumber so high, present 

 prices at saw mills do not cover the cost of production. Millions of feet 

 of logs are scattered over the south, in danger of destruction by worms, 

 tnngl and bad weather."

"Birch, cypress, plain and quarter sawed oak enter largely into interior 

 bouse trim. Ash, poplar, sap and red gum and cottonwood are used 

 extensively in the manufacture of vehicles of all kinds, and they are used 

 extensively in the processes of many other industries. Hardwoods are 

 now selling in St. Louis at prices from 40 percent to 50 percent less than 

 in May, 1920, the time of peak prices. 



"Other woo<is like cherry, mahogany and walnut show declines. Many

 St. Louis' oldest active lumberman is William Dings of the Case-Fowler

Fined $400,000 for Firing Mahogany Plant 



The heaviest fine ever levied on a defendant in an Indiana criminal 

 court was that imposed on Rufus Morgan, age thirty, who was found 

 guilty on a charge of arson. Judge James A. Collins sentenced Morgan to 

 the state prison at Michigan City. Ind.. for from two to twenty-one years 

 ;tnd fined him .$400,000. To pay out the fine at the rate of $1 a day. in 

 addition to the maximum amount of his prison sentence, would mean that 

 he would have to stay in prison for 1,117 years. Morgan was found 

 guilty of setting fire to the Talge Mahogany Company's plant of Indian- 

 apolis, where he formerly was night watchman. The heavy fine against 

 Morgan was based on the property loss caused by the fire. The damage 

 was estimated at $200,000. and the arson law provides that a person con- 

 victeil of the crime may be fined in any sum, not to exceed double the 

 value of the property destroyed, in addition to the two to twenty-one-year 

 prison sentence.
