Says There is white Slavery
on Florida East Coast.

The old story about going away
from home to learn the news seems
to be illustrated in the columns OF
the HagerstOwn, Ind, Globe, a COPY
Of which has just been received by
The Journal and which contains the
following dispatch, date-nned from
Boston:
TELLS OF WHITE SLAVERY
Man Claims 1000 Men Are Kabt al
Work Against Their Will.
Boston, Mar. 1O.-A fugitive from
what he calls white slavery, to which,
he says men have been drown under
false pretenses. John B. Harles, of
Philadelphia landed here on the
schooner TheOline from Jacksonville
Fla, with a tale Of 1000 men subject
ed to hardships and indignities.
Harles says he went to work last
year on railroad which is being con-
structed in Florioa, but received only
$3.50 a week instead of 81 day
which he was promised. He charges
that 1000 men are kept at work
against their will on the railroad by
the presence of armed guards. He al
leges that the men are under-fed and
otherwise ill-tTeated. Harles says he
had much difficulty in escaping, and
charges certain Florida officials with
aiding the railroad contractors to keep
the worzmen in that state
This man must either he liar of
the Munchausen order or an escaped
convict from the convict camps,
though no convict labor is being EN-.
ployed in railroad building.

An Amende in Part.
After quoting our article in defense
| Of the assertion that Pensacola rank
ed ahead of st. Augustine in point Of
age. Editor Mayes, Of the Pensacola

I'VE know how ST. Augustine must
feel at the thought of having to sur
render title as. the oldest American
settlement, but we don't think even
| that is sufficient for Lewis zim's RET

hereby deny the impeachment"

Wan in anything but his pretentious'
ness to Pensacola's antiquity, we here
with, now and forever, wish it dis
tinctly understood that we, in unison
with The Journal readers, know the
appellation could not be assigned to
him in any other Sense-for If there
is a modern disciple among Florida'S
gifted craft of editors, that specimen
is The Pensacola Journals effulgent
President and General Manager.
But while we are pleased to make
any amends in this respect, we can
not concede that, because Richard L.
Campbell is quoted by The journal as
giving the history of an attempt by
Don Tristan de Luna to found set
Element near the present site of Pen
sacola, that that should constitute the
birthday of our western sister. By
the historians own confession, the
attempt to establish a settlement fail
ed-there was a funeral in the neigh
bOrhood of Santa Rosa Island in 1862,
ana all that was real Of the thought
of a colony at that place was buried.
This is the sum and substance Of the
narrative of the historian quoted by
The Journal. We are sorry that his
tory fails to give the real date when
Pensacola was born but when she did
really first see the light of day as a
permanent settlement, her dear old
sister, Saint Augustine, had settled
down to business-had reared Substan-
tial edifces, and was prepared to de-
fend them against an invading foe
with magnificent fort. My, but
young folks are hard to make under
stand.-St. Augustine Meteor.
The New Train Service.
Beginning last Sunday the schedule
of what is known as the accommoda
ton train was changed so that now it
is possible to go to Pensacola and
return in the same day, instead of the
trip requiring as formerly, two nights
and a day. This is in line with the
suggestion made by The Breeze over
a year ago ana which it has been urg-
ing off and on ever since. We do not
say that The Breeze brought it about
but. we do say that it is the only paper
in this section that urged the change.

PLAY GOOD GAME
AT SpRAGUf

Matt Stanley and his ball tossers
succeeded yesterday in winning
from Sprague by score OF 3 to 2.
The Indians do not seem to play so
well on the bush-town diamonds as
they do on the better diamonds in
the cities, but at that they always
manage to win their games. The
batteries were Franklin. Rush and
Stanley for the Indians, and Sam
uels and Veley for Sprague. 1t Is
great business the way these jun
gle towns turn out to a good base
ball game. Yesterday every bust
ness in Sprague closed down and
everybody and his relatives went to
the game and howled themselves
hoarse and put all kinds of ginger
into their team. A report says 400
people attended the game, which, Of
course. does not include the young
sters on the fence. Most people up
this way didn't know there were
400 people in that town. Wonder if
they didn't ring in the relatives in
the original count? Judging by the
score the game was q very remark
able one, especially for the Sprague
players.

FIGHTERS
CORNtlt>

Kid Scaler owes his defeat of
Sailor McQuOid to a new punch
which he has developed and it is
used when q man is much to the
bad and is crouched in what in box
ing parlance is called a turtle. .
McQuoid was doubled up in this
manner when Scaler reached over
and slammed him on the back OF
the neck. 1t takes a boxer with a
good reach to do this-and Scaler
has the reach.
All afternoon Lea Myers, Scaler's
manager, was closeted with Eddie
Quinn trying to make the Thomp.
son-Scaler decker. Myers argued
from every known standpoint. He
would conceed everything to
Thompson with the exception that
Maurice must do 100 pounds at
o'clock. Jerry Mccarthy, Thomp.
sons manager, was agreeable to
the match, but Quinn was adamant
and he would not oe budged in his
determination.

There is a great deal Of adverse

present feel justified in making
such a match. Both Scaler and
Thompson are willing for that mat

see where Scaler will be the proper
