Editor Pensacola Journal:
In this mornings issue of The
journal I notice the Ice Trust CON.
pany propose remedying some of the
charges brought against it tnat the
community have been suffering under
for a long time. This is commenda.
bic and shows the proper spirit. Now
let them go step further and fur.
nish the article at price that will as
sure them good returns for the in.
vestment, instead of the price now
charged--say twenty-five cents a hun
dred pounds.
AS the New Orleans Picayune of
the 10th says general movement
has sprung up all over the country
Tor cheaper ice." A practical ice man
who has been in the business for 90
years Is about to establish a plant in
washington. d. c., that will manufac.
ture 800 tons per day at a cost not to
exceed 40 cents q ton. A man in Bal.
timore, Nd. a practical ice man agrees
tnat the cost per ton shall not exceed
G3h cents.
The difference between 40 cents a
100 for which ice Is selling and "a To
63h cents for which 1000 pounds may
be produced demonstrates that there
is considerable profit on this indus
try.
Give the public 'sfair dear' and
then this clamor and unrest that is

SUPERIORITY OF THE
AMERICAN GUNNERS.
Tampa Herald.

The men behind the guns in Uncle
Sans navy are distinguishing them
selves in target practice. The modern
battlesfhp is q terrible machine of de-
truction, but IL 1t Is manned by crew
that are incapable and inexperienced
1t becomes mere target for the enc.
my in the time of battle and is harm
less. That was the condition of the
Spanish and Russian vessels in the re.
cent battles.
Recent practice of the American
gunners show that our navy can de-
stroy battleship two or three miles
distant with little difficulty. although
a vessel at that distance makes an in.
significant target.
There are several reasons for The
superiority of the American gunners.
Target practice is an expensive opera
ton. Only the wealthy nations can
indulge in it. There is a liberal ap-
preparation for this practice and the
American gunners are given plenty of
practice. The thing that tends most
to result in superiority. however. is
the spirit Of emulation that exist in
the men on the ships. It is said that
they rival each other in making the
lest records. Each man works to the
best Of his ability and In this way
the superiority that has been attain
ed will be sustained. The American
navy will be effective in case it IS
ever again called to war.

ton Stalks Product Company was fit

Montgomery Is a Black Belt county
and Zine, large cotton stalks can be
gathered there at minimum co., in

demonstrate the feasibility and com

for turning cotton stalks into paper

becomes higher in price, and the
hope is expressed that paper made
from cotton stalks will yet drive wood

Mayor VIII Not Be Placed Under

Opportunity Permitted Him to Go to

Charges of BIackmafI.

ment in his home city for alleged graft

Sandy Hook lightshiD and viii come into
the bay and up to her dock some time
after O'Clock tomorrow.
It IS not the intention Of the California
officials, who are now here, to arrest the
mayor when he steps of the steamer
should he live up to the promise that he
gave when he left the other side, that he
would 90 at once to San Francisco to face
his accusers. II the mayor is still in that
frame of mind. and there seems to be no
reason why he should not be, he will be
permitted to land unmoIested and the ser
vice OF the warrant of arrest VIII be de
ferred until he reaches San Francisco,
wnere it is now understood friends have
arranged for bail.
Should the mayor. however. attempt to
remain in this city, it is considered alto
gether likely that he will be arrested and
that application will then be made to
Gov. Higgins for authority to extradite
him and take him back to his home city
a prisoner.
No one was permitted to approach the
steamer tonight. or get into communica-
ton with her. owing to the Federal laws
which prohibit any communication with a
liner until the quarantine officials have
inspected her.
Mayor Schmitz's brother and two Of his
personal counsel are reported to be wait
ing IN this city to see him. but so far they
have not shown up at any Of the spots
where Californians. and especially san
Franciscans. usually COngregate.
1t is known that those closest to the
mayor believe that he will be able to
clear his skirts of the charge Of accept
ing blackmail from the French restaurant

still have confidence in him, despite the
mass Of alleged evidence now in the hands
OF the prosecuting officials.

New York, Nov 22-Clinord w Hart
ridge. counsel for Harry K. Thaw, had
conference this afternoon with District
Attorney Jerome on the question Of tax
ing dispositions Of witnesses outside Of the
jurisdiction OF the local courts
In getting the consent of the court to
take the dispositions it will be necessary
for Mr. Hartrldge to state the names OF
the witnesses ne wants TO examine, and
what questions he wants 10 ask them.
Mr.. Jerome has the privilege of opposing
or eonsenting to the taking Of the deposit
tions.
Should the witnesses be important, in
the judgment of Mr.. Jerome, it is not
unlikely that he viii ask for the appoint
ment of a commission so that he may
cross-examine the witnesses after they
have made their statements to counsel
for Thaw.
Il is known that some of the witnesses
Mr. Hartridge is anxious TO examine are
in the West, two or three being in San
Francisco II is said that two Of the Wit
nesses are Truxton Beale and Thomas
McCaleb. They were with Thaw and his
wife in Martins shortly before Thaw
shot White on the roof of the Madison
Square Garden. It is also said that Beale
and McCaleb were witnesses OF the shoot
ing.
In view Of the action by Thaw's counsel.
il is now certain that Thaw cannot be
tried until January at the earliest.
