SUES COMMANDANT
PENSACOLA DAIRYMAN OBJECTS
 TO HIS EJECTMENT.
Claims He Was Put on of the Govern ment Reservation on Account 7
 of False and Unjust Reports.

ePnsacola, Fla, Sept. 22.--(Special) Suits aggregating $10.000 have been brought against United States naval officers by B. M. Seely. resident of the Pensacola Navy Yard. who claims this amount for having been elected from the naval reservation.
 The suits are directed against Com mandant B. M Berry. the comman- dant. and Dr Wright, the surgeon, the amounts being s5,000 each. The plain- tiff alleges in his suit that he held leases upon certain properties at War rington, which is on the naval reser- yation. and established among other businesses, a dairy.
 It Is further averred that some time since the surgeon made Q report to the naval authorities claiming that the condition of his dairy was insan- itary and detrimental to the health of the residents on the reservation. and that the report is false and un- true and caused his election from the reservation. and he therefore asks for damages to the extent of $5.000.f
 He sues Commandant Berry, who is now in command of the Norfolk Navy Yard, for the reason that he ordered the cancellation of his leases of the properties on the reservation and his election therefrom. thus destroying his business. He alleges that the report of the surgeon was without grounds. and that the action of the comman- dant without precedent. and therefore sues for $5,000 from each.

Theatre Manager Arrested.


 The affairs regarding the condition of the Pensacola opera house reached crisis last night when Chief Schad ordered the arrest of Manager J. M. Coe for violating the city ordinances by giving a performance in place which had been declared to be unsafe for the congregating of large crowds. The arrest came after a meeting Of the Board of Public Safety, when the management was notified that if per- formances were given in the house before the repairs ordered were made that the city ordinances were violated. Last night one of the shows scheduled beforehand reached here and the per- formance was given without interrup- ton. Afterwards, however, the chief placed the manager under arrest and he will appear before the recorder for trial.
 It was expected that there would be further developments in the opera house case tonight when another show was given, and that possibly the police might interfere.
 There was no interference, however, and not even an arrest made of the manager or any ot the employees. In the recorders court this morning the case against the manager for violat- ing two sections of the city ordinance. by giving a performance in a place which had been declared unsafe. was called, but upon request of the man. agement was continued until Tuesday. In the meantime shows would be con- tinued during every night Manager Coe is out in statement which he declares that the present agitation has been stirred up by the afternoon pa- per on Account of his refusal to pay what he considered exorbitant adver- tisingi rates and to give a larger number of passes
