FIRE INVESTIGATION
HAS BEEN CONCL UDED
RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL IN SPECIAL sEs-
SION, ASKING FIRE UNDER
WRITERS TO MAKE SUGGEs.
TIoNs AS TO IMPROVEMENT OF
DEPARTMENT.

The fire investigation, or rather the
investigation as to the poor work done
On the occasion of the big fire on
Gregory street some months ago, was
concluded last night by the city coun-
Gil The meeting, which was a special
one. resulted in the passing of a short
resolution in which the fire under
writers association is asked to make
suggestions for the improvement of
present conditions.
When the meeting convened Mayor
Pro TEN Maura presided and there
were present Aldermen Baars, Calm,
Christie, Hays, McHugh, MuldOn,
Meyer, Pryor, Reilly and Wright.
The mayor pro tenn stated the objec:
of the special session, and asked what
action should be taken.
Aldermen MuldOn then introduced a
resolution, in which it was stated
that at the time of the fire the depart
ment was lacking in ladders, and thai
the water pressure was insufficient fol
tALAuedlSulug me DidZ6. i ne reSOlu
tiOn stated further, however, that
since the occurrence the department
had been placed in better condition
and the pressure of water remedied
so that at present the city was more
properly protected from loss by fire
Continuing, the resolution asked
that the Board of Fire Underwriters
from whom came the protest, make
suggestions as to the Improvement il
present conditions, as it was the desire
of the city to protect property in ever,
manner possible.
A copy of the resolution, which wa!
passed unanimously, was ordered sen
to the underwriters, accompanied By
a request that an early reply be made
and that if any suggestions were made
a special session of the city cOunci
would be called to take action upoI
them.
Bennie Edmundsen made applica
ton to erect an Office on the water
front. The application was referred

BALDWIN COUNTY TO
TO HAVE NEW RAILWAY,

The residents of lower Baldwin coun-
ty have assurances that the new rail-
way, the Bay Minette and Fort Nor
gan, will be open for passenger traffic
by June 1, proximO. The prospect of
this new line of communication has
given an impetus to land values, has
greatly increased the areable acreage
in garden truck products, and will
greatly increase the tide of Weston
immigration of the most sturdy type
to the most productive soil and the
most genial climate of the. gulf coast
region. The Magnolia Springs people,
led by Captain John Walker, of
"WoodbounG," on Fish river, expect
to keep tAe hotels and cottages open
all summer. No more delightful place
and conditions for a vacation, in sum-
mer or winter, can be found than
those existing to-day in the neighbor-
hood of Magnolia Springs.-Mobile

Mr.. MlILDON'S
REPLYTO Mr.. BLISS
HE STATES THE FACTS AS SHOWN
BY THE RECORDS OF THE
CITY COUNCIL.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
| note in your Wednesday morning S
issue another article from Chas. II.
Bliss, in regard to the closing OF Il
street. | have neither the time nor
tbe inclination to answer an article of
this kind. but the statements made
are so utterly at variance with the
facts that think it my duty to submit
to your readers the actual facts as
recorded in the minutes OF the city
council meetings.
The Council Records.
On August 9th, 1903, at a meetlhg
of the Board of Works, communlca-
ton from me in regard to the closing
OF this street was acted upon fayora0-
". and on September 10th, 1903,
communication from the Board OF
Works to the City Council was read,
recommending that an ordinance to
vacate ''I' street be favorably acted
upon. The ordinance was as custom
ary. put on its first and second read
ing. and passed, and referred to the
ordinance and engrossing committee,
as is customary. On September 18th,
there was a meeting of the council, at
which this matter was not reported.
On September 2Sth, there was a
meeting at which it was not reported,
and at the regular meeting on October
2Ist. it was not reported. At meet
ing November 18th it was not report
ed. At the regular meeting Novem-
Der 18th, it was reported by the Ordi-
nance and EngTossing committee, that
il be put back on second reading, in
order to have certain amendments
made which the committee deemed adj
yisable. This was done. and the ordi-
nance again referred to the ordinance
and engrossing committee. At this
meeting the chairman OF the ordinance
and engrossing committee stated that
the committee was ready to report,
but as unanimous consent was not
given. nothing further was done.
At this meeting, at my request, Mr..
Bliss was allowed to address the eoun-
! ell in opposition to this ordinance,
and he presented a petition against it
with seven CD names attached, his
] own being one of the number.
On November 27th, the ordinance
having then been in the hands of the
proper committee for over two months,
Ithe ordinance was put on its final pas
sage, and passed by vote of eleven
yeas and no nays, the record showing
that Alderman Muldon did not vote.
An of the foregoing is matter of
record. and any fair minded man can
see tiaat c. H. Bliss has made no eff
fort whatever to present true state
ment of the facts in this case in his
letters. The fact that this ordinance
was not finally put on its third read
ing, and passed in the city council,
until after it had been before that
body for over two months, and the
fact that every memNer of the city
council voted favorably for it, is. [
think. sufficient to disprove the state
ment that / railroaded it through that
| body.
As to my closing the road in front
of my house. as it is my own property,
! would state, that | did not ask the

Simmons on Statehood.

Senator Simmons addressed the
Senate Monday afternoon in opposi-
ton to the Beveridge statehood bill.
Senator. Simmons occupied the atten-
ton of the Senate for about two hours,
this being the second extemporary
speech which the senior Senator from
North Carolina has delivered in the
senate. The chief contention of the
Senator was that Arizona would suf-
fer most by the proposed union with
New Mexico, and the delegate from
Arizona referred to the speech as an
exceedingly effective presentation of
the subject. Senator Simmons said
that his interest in the subject of state
hood had been increased by facts given
him by Mr.. B. R. Lacy, who held the
position of Treasurer in his State. Mr..
Lacy, said the Senator, had made a can
vas of Arizona during the last cam
paign. In presenting the claims of
Arizona to separate statehood Mr.. Sim
mons made the declaration that while
much of the land in Arizona was arid
that it would respond to irrigation in
such a way as to become as productive
rs the valley of the Nile, which had
sustained sixty millions of people.

EFFORTS TO BUY CAUCUS VOTES
representative in the Missouri Legis-
Iature Declare They Were offered
Money to Cast Their Ballots For
Niedringhaus.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Special.-Thom-
as R. Niedringhaus, Republican caucus
nominee for United States Senator to
succeed Francis M. Cockrell, and Re-
publican State chairman, "did not file
a complete statement of receipts of
his committee in1the recent cam
paign, as required by law, but mo di-
rect evidence has been offered to show
that contributions to the Republican
State campaign fund by St. Louis
brewers were for the purpose of in
fluenctng legislation" according to a
partial report of the Senate investigat-
ing committee. The committee it is not
ready to report on Federal patronage
and it's influence in the senatorial con-
test, and it asks for more time to in
vestigate.
The partial report to the Senate
fromsits committee which has been in
>yestigating the charge that Adolphus
Busch and Otto Stifel, st. Louis brew
ers, had contributed largely to the Mis-
sori campaign fund to influence State
legislation and these contributions had
been turned in by Niedringhaus. as an
item of $21 ,237.51 contributed by him
self, is signed by all members of the
committee, including two Republican
Senators.
During the days session of the Sen
ate committee Representative Cooke,
of Howell county, testified that an at
tempt had been made to buy his eau
Gus vote for Niedringhaus.
n Representative Cook said he voted
in the caucus for r. G. Kerens. He
declared that Postmaster Hallenbock,
of West Plains, had made the advances
to him, saying he came direct from the
headquarters of the Republican State
committee in st. Louis, where he had
talked with Mr.. Niedringhaus, State
chairman. Cook said Hallenbock told
him there would be money in it for
him If he voted for Niedringhaus.
Nh. N~iedringhaus denied that either
Hallenbock or any other person had
any authority to make any representa-
tons on his part. A dinner is said to
have been held at the home of r. C.
Kerens on Saturday night at which it
was alleged plans were formulated to
defeat Niedringhaus and to strength
en- the forces of Kerens, who was
Niedringhaus' nearest competitor.

Mrs. Duke Disappears.

New York. Special.-Mrs. Brodie L.
Duke was ordered out of the Union
Square Hotel, the proprietors having
be"cme tired of having an army of pri-
vate detectives around the place. In
stead of moving, Mrs. Duke locked her
self in her room and refused to let any
one come near her. Earlier in the day
she had had a DR.. Cook in to see her.
ard he had told the hotel people that
she was on the verge of nervous pros
t.dtlon and must not be disturbed.
Later it vas found Mrs. Duke had
quietly left the hotel by the back
stairs. She told her maid she would
soon return, but she will not be al
lowed to do SO.
Champe s. Andrews, who was re-
tained to take charge of Mr.. Dukes
interests by the latter's secretary, Mr..
Bramham. was confident that Mr..
Duke would be released on Thurs
day.
am informed by reliable authority
that Mr.. Duke is worth $500, 000," said
Mi. Andrews, land that he has an ad-
ci1ional income from a trust fund in
the hands of his father of $15,0 900 a
year. His son, Lawrence, gets 81, 900
a year, also his daughters. Mabel and
Pearl, from the same source. There is
no excuse for incarceratipg a perfectly
sane man in an asylum just because
he has done something of which his
family does not approve. Mr.. Duke
should have been allowed to work out
the annulment of his marriage in his
own way, which 1 have no doubt he
would have done"

Some Important Measures.

Among the important measures so far
are under consideration:
The bill before the Legislature, pro-
viding for the Soldiers Home, carries
SIS, 900 annually for maintenance this
year and next year, $4,000 for build
ing improvements this year and So, 900
for next year. This will enable the
home to provide for $50 veterans.
Mr.. Warren, of Jones', introduced a
bill to increase the salaries of Superior
end Supreme Court judges to So, 1000 all
around, with no other allowances. This
bill is similar to the Scales Senate bill,
except the amount of salary is Sc, 900
instead Of So, 1000. 1t is believed to be
the amount the House members will
agree to pass with but little OPPOSE
ton.
Another bill of Mr.. Warren's in
creases pay of jurors in magistrates
courts from % cents to SO cents per
Gay.
Major Graham's bill to amend the
homestead Jaw proposes to give a
homesteader the right to select a differ
ent tract of land from the one first
assigned him, should circumstances
arise to make it preferable.
One of the bills of general imoprt-
ance introduced by Winborne provides
that the transportation company issu-
ing the receipt for freight shall be the
responsible party in a suit or claom
for lost or damaged property shipped.
A bill by Mr.. Warren of interest to
the Illegal profession provides that a
civil case shall stand for trial the
first term If the summons and a veri-
fled complaint is issued and served 80
days prior to the term Of court.

misunderstanding among the members
of the subcommittee of the House
committee on Industrial arts and ex-
