Cornwell, who is charged with the embezzlement of funds from the defunct Bessemer Saw ings bank. was continued indefinitely in the Bessemer city court today by agree ment of attorneys on account of the ab- senee of Capt Frank S.

 Captain White was engaged in the trial of an important case at Birmingham and could not possibly attend court in Besse- mer for several days.
 When the case was called in court this morning James Weatherly, who had been appointed acting judge for the trial of the Cornwell case, was on the bench.

City Council to Meet.


 The city council of Bessemer will meet in regular session tomorrow night and it promises to be one of the most important sessions that has been held during the present administration
 A number of important matters are ex- pected to be sprung before the council and it is possible that a large bond issue for school building purposes and for paw ing certain streets of the city will be discussed.
 The dangerous condition of the Roberts school building has opened the discussion for new building and it Is very probable that the matter will be fully discussed by the council tomorrow night
 Another matter that will very likely en- gage the attention of the city fathers will be the franchise recently granted the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power com pany for the construction of a car line to Jonesboro. It Is understood that the railway company Is dissatisfied with cer- tain provisions of the franchise and has asked that the ordinance be reconsidered and amended. It is stated that the pro- posed road will not be built under the present provisions of the franchise which restricts the granting of transfers from the new line to other connecting lines of the same company.
 Complaints of certain individuals against items in the new license schedule will also be heard and possibly acted upon
 A committee of members from the Bes- semer board of trade will appear before the council tomorrow night with peti- ton asking that bona fide industrial plants seeking location in the district be exempted from taxes for a term of ten years.
 This matter was discussed at length by the members of the board of trade at the meeting last week and a resolution was adopted favoring the plan and the fol- lowing committee was appointed to call upon the mayor and council in the inter- est of the propositon: w. J. Long. J. T. McEniry, William T. Kennedy and J. J. Sullivan. President George w Steven son of the board of trade was also added to the committee.
 It Is believed that the adoption of this plan would help to secure a number of the smaller industries that are constant ly being located in the Birmingham dis trict and would attract others that would come under proper conditions.
 Notes and Personals.
 Dr. L. A. Spencer, who was thrown from his buggy and seriously injured last night, is not resting very well. He was in fact more seriously injured than was at first thought.
 The Jonesboro public school opened this morning with a full attendance of pupils and all the teachers present. Professor Morris. who was elected principal last week to succeed Professor Harrison. re- signed, is in charge. The school has been closed for about a month.
 The Rev. and Mrs. R. c. Gilmore have returned from their wedding trip to sever al northern and eastern cities and are at home at the manse on Sixth avenue. They were married in Washington. D. C., Jan uary 3.

School Suspended.

The Roberts school of this city was suspended for the week thls morning by the city officials and the school trustees on account of the bad condition of the building.
 Competent inspectors will be employed to examine the house and report on it's safety there being some apprehension that the walls are in dangerous condi- ton and liable to collapse. For several years there has been large crack in one of the outside walls and since the rainy spell 1t Is noticed that the Assure is enlarging and the walls are somewhat out of plumb.
 At a meeting of the school committee of the city council and the members Of the school board 1t was decided to sus- pend school in the building until thor ough inspection had been made by com petent builders In case the investga- ton shows that the building is safe, as Is contended by some or the people and even by a few of the members of the city council school will be resumed next Monday. and if the building is found to be unsafe other quarters will be secured for the classes until the building can be repaired or new one erected.
 The suspension has crippled the city schools considerably, as 325 pupils and | eight teachers are affected.
 The Roberts school building is a three story brick structure, including the base ment. and has stood for many years It is contended by some that 1t is in no more dangerous condition than 1t has been for years, and many contend that it Is absolutely safe. while many others are very much alarmed and it is very improb- able that the patrons of the school would allow their children to return to school with the building in the present condi- ton.
 There is considerable discussion on the streets today of proposition to float bonds for the erection of a new school building, and 1t is possible that the mat ter will be discussed in the meeting of the city council tomorrow night. The proposition seems to meet with popular favor and 1t is believed that some active steps will be taken at once looking to the erection of a new buildng

STRONG FEELING AGAINST HIM.
United States District Attorney Viii
Make Determined Effort to Convict
Captain Van Stakeholder In
dctments Pending.

Special to the Ocala Banner
New York, January 1O.-The trial
of Capt. William Van Schaik, former
commander Of the excursion steamer
General Slocum, the i'll fated boat,
which burned in the East River on
June i. 1904. while it had a large
Sunday School excursion on board, Of
which one thousand, mostly women
and children. lost their lives. bega
today before Judge Thomas in the
Federal circuit court.
Capt. Van Schaik is charged with
negligence in the performance Of
his duties as commander of the Slocun
and it is understood that Gen. Henry
L. Burnett, the United States district
attorney. who represents the state, or
rather the United States Government,
will make a determined effort to OBJ
tain a conviction.
The case is still fresh in the memory
Of the people. although a year and a
half has elapsed since the terrible dis
aSter. In thousands of homes the loss
of a dear relative or friend, who lost
their lives in the Slocum disaster, is
deeply mourned and the strong feel
ing against Copt. Won Schaik. who is,
TO a great extent, held responsible for
the terrible loss of lives, has not &C.
Cresed much since then.
Public opinion demands that severe
punishment be meted put to those who
We're responsible for the edisaster and
up to the present time comparatively
little has been dane to satisfy this de-
mand.

whose lax methods it was due that
rotten and worthless life preservers
were allowed on the General SIocum,
which, instead of saving lives, caused
the death Of many people on that ill

these life preservers for their safety,
has been tried three times on the
charge OF criminel negligence in issu-
ing a certificate to the General Slo-
cum, but in each case the jury disa-

The Florida Editors Are All Right.

Touching the denial by the Live
Oak Democrat of Governor Broward's
charges of venality against a few Flor
ida editors, attention is called to the
fact that the editor of the Zolfo Ad-
vertiser claims to have positive evil
dence Of the truthfulness of the COVER
nor's allegations. We suppose that
the Advertiser has in mind the fact
that one editor offered for a pecun-
larry consideration. 10 support Hon. J.
n. c. Stockton in the senatorial race,
while another editor who was already
supporting a rival candidate claim
ed and received financial help for his
services.
In the later case, pay was not de-
manded in advance, as in the former.
Now, if we accept these two as instan-
ces of the correctness of the COVER
nor's charges, there remain about a
hundred and fifty more editors in
Florida who are innocent This pro-
portion of venal to corruptible men
certainly speaks we'll for the high
character of the profession. for even
the ministerial profession can hardly
make a better showing.-Punta Cor

BIG SHIP CANAL

Special to the Ocala Banner.
New York, Jan. 10.-Prelimnary
measures have been taken for the cut
ting of ship canal through the pen
insula of New Jersey, lying between
the Hackensack and the Hudson riv-
ers, which, when completed, will add
nearly seven miles and one half to the

almost direct water connection be-

for survey of ship canal from New
ark to New York. and he has the sup

structiOn is carefully, intelligently and
correctly given by company officers,
and that no portion of the work is
omitted. Where organizations appear
to be deficient in any class of drill
and it is apparent that such drill has
not been thoroughly understood and
mastered in the time allotted under the
prescribed course, it will be the duty
Of the post commander to order such
extra drills and cause such extra in
structiOns to be given as will enable
the organization to satisfactorily pro-
coed with the course. They will per-
Sonally supervise the drill and practi-
cal instruction at their posts. Post
commanders are also especially rec Iir-
ed To see that target practice is con-
Quoted, and reports thereof made in
accordance with the authorized firing
regulations and orders from the office
Of the Adjutant- General Of the state.

authority, will supervise the theoreti-
cal instruction of the officers of their
command, requiring them to pursue
the course of study prescribed for
The Service School Of Florida State
Troops"
Orders for Course of Drill.
III. As soon after the receipt of this
order as practicable, the brigade COM
mander will announce in orders a
course of drill and practical instruc-
ton, To be followed by the troops of
his command during the first quarter
of the current year; prescribing it's
character and the time to be devoted
thereto. This course should be based
upon carefully prepared program of
the work, which, from his knowledge
Of conditions in the troops, may be
undertaken and accomplished within
the year. 1t is suggested that the first
course should commence with such
elementary practice as will insure the
perfect understanding and apprecia-
ton of what is required to be learned
in the school of the soldier" and of
the squad to qualify members of all
organizations for the more advanced
drill and exercise switch must follow.
Perfect physical condition, proper
"set-up" and military bearing, snap"
in the execution of commands, neat
ness and precision in dress, knowledge
of military courtesy and of the Obli-
cations of discipline are Lessons which
bust be fully learned by the individual
soldier before he can be successfully
advanced to work in the squad ana
company.
The program of drill and instruc-
tions for the year should embrace at
least four practice marches of not less
than five miles. for the troops at each
post, and at least four company rem
devious for target practice.

Not long ago a man of national i'm
portance characterized an attempt to
beautify the city OF Washington as
spending money for scenery" The
phrase may be taken as a sheer, as IL
was intended to be taken. or with ap-
proval, as expressing a truth and a
wise policy. Spending money for
scenery. remarks Youths Companion,
is one of the most hopeful signs of a
reawakening to natural possibilities.
IL is not confined to any one region.
San Francisco is already talking about
the Durham plans for identifying the
city, which have long been in abey-
anee. The rebuilding Of the Gateway
OF the west now affords an opportunity
20 put them in practice. Niagara falls,
the White mountains. the Appalachi-
ans and the Palisades are eastern
scenery, but they are also national
possessions, and il is with a sort OF
wonder that commercial interests have
discovered how strong the feeling is
against destroying them or encroaeh-
ing seriously upon them. The old state
house in Boston and Independence hall
in Philadelphia are more local ex-
amples of the same quality of pubic
interest which lies in sentiment They
are scenery" of sort which appeals
TO a pride as stubborn as the power
Of money, and more creditable. The
man who cares for his fathers grave
and preserves the old family home Is
paying money for scenery too, but
more persons understand that kind of
sentiment The other kind-the larger,
more communal and fraternal kind
a. Just as surely coming into its own.
