CHAIRMAN GREEN
WRITES MAYOR

The following correspondence has
PASSED between l.. Hilton Green,
chairman of the Board of Bond TTus-
tees and Mayor Bliss, relative to the
water pressure furnished by the
Pensacola Water Company:
Mr.. Green's Letter.
Hon. Chas. H. Bliss, Mayor City Of
J Pensacola.
I Dear Sir-My attention has been
called to a communication addressed
| by you to the Pensacola Water Com
many. as published in The Journal of
yesterdays date, in consequence OF
which l beg to advise you that the
engineer of the city lately advised
| the Board that if an extreme water
pressure, such as suggested and, as
| understand, directed by you to the
Water Company is applied, the re-
suits will be disastrous to the geneT-
al plumbing connection throughout
the city.
Yours respectfully.
IL. HILTON GREEN,
Chairman"
Mayors Reply.
April 18th, 1906.
Hon. L. Hilton Green, Chairman
Board of Bond Trustees, City.
Dear Sir--I have before me yours
of even date in regard to the COM
munfcation addressed by me to the
Pensacola Water Company, advising
me Of the results of putting on a
pressure of one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty pounds.
L am somewhat surprised at this
suggestion as it is a well known
mechanical fact that the danger In
bursting pipes increases with the
size Of the pipe in other wOrOS the
smaller the pipe the more pressure il
will stand; and the ordinary water
pipes that are used in plumbing a
building have a bursting pressure of
hundreds of pounds. sometimes
reaching in the thousands. l have
not the data at hand at the present
moment, but the ordinary water pipe
inch. will stand several hundred
pounds pressure to the square inch,
and l repeat that / am surprised that
anyone should advise that a pressure
of one hundred to one hundred and
fifty pounds should be disastrous to
the plumbing.
l can very readily see why a rusty
main of six inches might give way
under such pressure, but, as a praC-
teal mechanic who has had years of
experience, / cannot see why the
plumbing in a building should give
wav unless it is worn out and needs
replacing; If such is the case the
plumbing should be replaced.
There may be some devices useG
in the city connected directly with
the water works. not calculated to
stand such pressure, but if there is
| do not. know it. do not see why
the whole city should be jeOpardiz71
bv such devices, if any such devices
really exist.
Perhaps I am wrong in this mat
fer and if I am, I shall be delight
Cd to have you enlighten me on the
subject.
Yours very respectfully,
CHAS. H. BLISS.
Mayor.

TROUBLE
On MAY DAY IN
FRANCE
Public Alarmed by Elaborate Pre-
Barati0RS of the Govern
ment Forces.
BY Associated Press

Paris, April 28.-The government
has completed preparations for deal
ing with the May day situation and
is confident that the day will pass
without serious disorder. The public
is not treasured by the elaborate
concentration and is having great IN
easinesS.
The activity of the police in max
ing more searches and seizures has
had the effect of increasing public
apprehension as the people believing
the extraordinary efforts indicate
the seriousness Of the situation.
The nervous element is hastily
preparing for eventualities. Some
ere leaving town and taking their
valuables while others are laying in
stores for an emergency.

The seizure Of the American fishing
smacks by the Mexican government
is stirring things up in fishing cir
cIes.
Owners Of smacks in Pensacola,
Galveston and Mobile have taken the
matter up with the United States gov
eminent officials. through Senator
Mallory, of Florida. It is understood
that the owners of the seized boats
have rights on the high seas which
they propose to protect.
1t is stated that a Mobile captain is
of the opinion that the boats were
seized, because the boats were fish
ing in alleged Mexican waters with
out license.
Or. DIaz's Statement.
A Mobile paper states It is thought
there that the seizure is due to a re-
port made by the Mexican vice con-
sui from Pensacola, that fish were be-
ing brought to this country from the
banks of Campeche.
DR.. Diaz, the Mexican vice consul
at this point when seen in reference
to the matter denied that he had writ
ten his government concerning the
question or that he had made a re-
port. He stated that the only infor-
nation that he had given the Mexican
government was when he was first ap-
pointed to this post in 1888 He
thought then that it was his duty, but
since then nothing regarding the mat
ter has been said by him.
The vice consul states that he does
not believe the question will become
an international matter, because OF
the friendliness Of the United States
and Mexico. He states that it is his
desire to argument the ties OF friend
ship and not to cause strained rela-
tiOns.
DR.. Diaz says that he feels salts
fed that justice will be done to al
concerned in the matter. He states
that he will be glad to do anything in
his power to help settle the question,
as the relations between the two gov
ernments are too close and sacred to
be strained by such a small thing, as
the seizure Of the smacks appears TO
be.
Mallory Interested.
Senator S. r. Mallory is looking az
ter the interests of the fishing owners
in Washington. He took the question
up with Secretary Root and the lat
ter Immediately instructed the Amer
lean Ambassador in the City Of Mex
leo to make a thorough investigation
of the seizure and the cause. A wire
received from Senator Mallory yes
terday concerning the question fol.
lows:
State department is inquiring into
matter. Will telegraph you as soon
as l learn anything"
It is believed that something def
mite will be known soon regarding
the seizures.
