WITNESSES "eIo u1oQ.
Six members Of the Plumbers union
who gave testimony in the recent in
vestigation OF the New York building
trades scandal were fined heavily.
Union men believe a step in the right
direction was taken by the association
in the question Of apprentices. Here
tofore the regulation Of apprentices has
been left to local unions and the re-
strictions imposed were unsatisfactory.
In the future the general executive
board will consider the general lmita-
ton of apprenticeship and will make
an attempt to arrive at a satisfactory
solution Of the problem.
A. Verville, M. P, a plumber Of
Montreal, ex- president Of the Canadian
Labor congress, addressed the conven-
ton, urging activity along political
lines, which, he said, would be bene-
fetal to the Canadian workmen. Will

A surprise in the election of officers

BIC LOG WAS ON
RAILROAD
TRACK
And Struck By Train No. Al
in Charge of Conductor
Mead Wilson.

Train No. 4. which left Pensacola
at noon yesterday, and which is
known as train No. s after 1t reaches
the Southern Alabama division OF
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad,
struck big log that was across the
track just south of Beatrice, and as
a result the engine was badly DAM
aged, but no one received injuries,
nor did the engine leave the track.
The fender of the locomotive was
completely torn away, and the en-
CINE suffered other damage.
The train was in charge of Con,
ductor E. NJ Wilson, who was going
out on his first run since the wreck
of last week, and Engineer Ed. Wat
son.
The big log fell from one of the
log wagons as it was crossing over
the track, and the man in charge OF
the wagon or cart could not remove
it, and it is presumed went to secure
assistance, and in the meantime train
No. s came along bound for Selma.
Engineer Watson sighted the log in
time to partly stop the train, which
was going at full speed, and bad
wreck was narrowly averted.

KEY WEST DAMAGE
NOT merry GREAT
LETTER RECEIVED BY LADY
FROM A FRIEND RESIDING
IN THE ISLAND CITY.

The damage TO Key West from the
hurricane, outside of the destruction
of the sponging feet, Is not as great
as reported, to judge from letter
received by Pensacola lady from q
friend residing in the island CITY,
The lady stated in her letter that
the sponging fleet had practically
been destroyed. and that many shade
trees all over the city had been blown
down. The tide, she said, caused
water to rise all over the city to 0
depth that covered the doorsteps OF
many of the houses, and that all were
badly frightened for fear the water
would rise higher.
Many Pensacolians have friends or
relatives In Key West who are glad
TO know that the damage there In
not great. 1t was feared for a few
DAYS after the storm, when no com.
munication could be obtained with
the place, that it had been swept
away. :.

Former Clerk Maura Test
fes to It's Erasure.
COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED BY
JUDGE OF CIRCUIT COURT
HEARD TESTIMONY or NUMBER
OF WITNESSES YESTERDAY
CASE AN IMPORTANT ONE AND
WILL SETTLE MATTER Def
NiTELY.

Commissioners Lee Daniel ana
Scott M. Loftin, appointed by the
Judge Of the circuit court to take tes-
timony of various parties in the case
of the Pensacola Water Company.
wherein that company desires to es-
tablish the legal rate allowed by its
franchise and to perpetuate the tes-
timony Of these parties, heard consid-
cradle of the evidence yesterday. In
fact all of the important witnesses
were examined by the commissioners.
The case is a very important one,
and will establish forever the rate
the company is allowed TO charge I'M
der the franchise granted by the city.
Yesterday while the testimony was
being taken a number Of attorneys
who had cases pending against the
company were present. among them
being John c. Avery and Jno. P.
Stokes, who represented parties who
had restrained the company from dis
continuing service; John B. Jones,
representing the city, and W. A.
Blount, representing the Water Com.
pany.
Among the witnesses examined
were President B. r. Pitt, H. G. De
Silva, Frank Maura former city clerk,
Miss Maura, who assisted him and
G. z. Merritt, the present city clerk.
who produced the ordinance book
containing the enrolled ordinance
granting the franchise and establish
ing the rate that should govern the
charges of the company.
The one point which 1t was desired
to establish was the rate per hun
dred gallons through meter. On the
ordinance books there appears the
erasure of a cipher, which, had it
not been erased would have made
the ordinance read from 3 to 5 cents
per 1000 gallons, but as 1t reads 1t
is to 5 cents per 100 gallons
through meter.
| Mr.. Maura was city clerk at the
| time the ordinance was passed, and
enrolled 1t In the ordinance book and
erased the cipher. In enrolling the
ordinance, he stated, he added one
cipher too many to the rate, and later
when he compared it with the origi-
nal ordinance he discovered his mis-
take and erased the cipher making
1t correspond with the rate named in
the franchise. This evidence was the
most important to be developed dur
ing the hearing of the case by COM
missioners.
The fact that cipher had been
erased in the ordinance book has
caused much discussion in the city
since its discovery some years since
and 1t has been alleged in many Of
the injunction suits that the COM
peny has been charging more than
the legal rate allowed by the ordi-
nance under which It Is operating.
