PROMPT ACTION
BY THE CITY
OFFICIALS

Mayor Pro Team Maura and Chief
Schad took prompt action as soon as
they realized the urgency of the sit
uation. The mayor pro team ordered
every saloon In the city to close it's
doors and no intoxicants will be al
lowed to be sold until further orders.
Fifty extra policemen were also add
ed to the force. Chief Echad saw
that the saloons were closed tight,
and mustered into service a large
number of men, who are patrolling
every section Of the city.
The chief had been on duty for
twenty-four hours, but he stuck by his
post last night and visited his men
with Deputy Frank and Captain Fon-
debilla.
This extra precaution was on ac-
count of the fact that looters followed
in the wake Of the calamity Off
GERS and citizens reported that many
trunks on the beach had been broken
open, where houses were deserted by
the occupants, and everything Of
value stolen. A negro and a white
boy were arrested during the day and
are now locked in Jail. The white
boy claims that the owner of the
property he had In his possession
gave it to him, but the negro, it is
stated, had no excuse to offer.

The Story of
The Storm.

For the first time in its history,
The Journal failed yesterday morning
to appear on time, the regular morn
ing edition not appearing until late
in the afternoon.
The reason for this delay is part
and parcel of Pensacola's storm
story. and, as such, may properly be
set forth here.
Il was about 1:15 Thursday morn
ing, when the paper was very nearly
up" that, with few warning flick
ers the electric lights In The Journal
office suddenly went out. At the
same time, the power by which the
battery of linotype machines is run.
was cut off, and the complete paraiy-
sis of the paper resulted.
A warning had been received from
the power house some time before
this to the effect that the current
might, at any moment. be cut on, and
it is generally understood that this
was done in order to protect the pub
lie from the fallen wires with which
the streets of the city were plentiful
ly bestrewn.
But something more than this Is
required TO stop The Journal and by
IL o'clock Thursday gasoline engine
md a complete set of gas fixtures
had been installed in the big COM
posing room on the second story.
Thus equipped and doubly warned,
The Journal may hereafter be looked
.or on time, under any and all cir
rumstances. 1t is often said OF "a
good man" that you can't keep him
Town." and this is quite as true OF
good newspaper.

GREAT F|SH|NG
INDUSTRY IS
RUINED

Pensacola's fishing industry, the
greatest on the gulf coast, has been
practically swept away. But little re-
mains of the three big wholesale
shippers, Saunders & Co., Warren &
Co., and Hoist & Co. The buildings
wharves and vessels have been de-
stroyed. When the storm began to
approach Saunders G. Co., who had
possibly fifteen fishing schooners in
port, sent many of them across the
bay for protection, but there is hardly
any doubt but that they were driven
ashore and wrecked. Six of the YES
sells remained at the wharves when
the storm came on and these are
ashore in various places. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that many OF these
vessels can be 1oated and saved.
Warren & Co., had vessels in the
harbor and four at their wharf. and
they are all ashore or sunk. Their
new fish house has disappeared com.
pletely, as has also the WHAT.
Hoist & Co., lost their new fish
house and a number Of vessels.
There are perhaps fifteen of the
Pensacola fishing fleet at sea, and II
| is believed that while they may have
been damaged some Of them have
been able to ride out the gale.
Of course no word has been re-
ceived from the vessels across the
bay, but with the wind blowing at
such a rate there is little hope that
any of the vessels escaped going
ashore.

HOW THE JOURNAL
WAS ENABLED TO
MAKE GOOD"

When the lights and power went
out" at lis Thursday morning, The
Journal was for the time being tied
up, but when daylight appeared, prep
arations were Immediately made for
getting out the paper, despite the
fact that electric light and power can
probably not be secured for several
days yet
The first move was the installation
of a pretty little 2 IL horse power
Fairbanks gasoline engine which w.
T. Bidwell, of the Bay Electric and
Supply Co., hustled up into The Jour

stereotyping machinery with it's big
gas engine down stairs, and that
part of the work was fixed.
Next. good natured Jake Biebig-
hauser, of the Pensacola Gas Co., in
stalled a number of gas fixtures and
Welshbach lamps in The Journal
building and that, in connection with
what Kerosene and candle light the
force was able to muster, solved the
light problem.
So The Journal was able to issue
Its Thursday edition at 6 o'clock last

complete report of the big storm
as 1t would have bee possible to have

MANY FAMILIES
ARE HOMELESS

There are many homeless in the
city, and last night women. children
and men presented a pitable sight
as they were huddled together in
public buildings. In the United
States government building many
women and children spent the night
On tie second floor, and while they
were made as comfortable as posi-

nevertheless spent a. terrible night.
In the armory hall many more were
cared for, while many families in
the city took care of homeless ones.
w. A. Blount. Jr., DR.. Mallory Ken
nedy and a number of yong men
formed a rescue party that went to

They reached that point by a circuit

ture vans, and returned late in the
afternoon with about forty persons

reached the city late in the after,

Destruction from Big
Bayou to the City

The scene of desolation along the
bay shore from Little Bayou to Big
Bayou beggars description.
The huge plant of the Florida and
Alabama Land Co., at the mouth of
the Little Bayou is almost a total
wreck. The Old Mill Inn and Mr..
John O'Connor's residence, while not
totally destroyed, are badly damaged.
The residences of T. V. Kessler,
Morris Bear, c. w. Lamar, A. c.
Blount, Jr., and Hon. John S. Beard
being situated on high bluff escaped
the fate that destroyed houses farther
tc the westward, but all of them suf-
fered much damage, the exact extent
of which will not be known for some
time
The residence of J. R. Keller, was
entirely destroyed by the waves
which dashed over it with terrific
force. r. b. Simpson and family who
were occupying the house, had a
w. X. Hyer, Jr. The latter's resi-
dence was not injured, but the water
ran to height of two feet in the
front yard, and the magnificent trees
were whipped and torn to ribbons by
the fury of the blast.
The stately home of w. H. Knowles
presents a scene of absolute desola-
ton. The entire south gallery and
portico has been undermined by the
waves and has fallen. '.
On the front gallery of the small
cottage heretofore occupied by him, is
the Maud Squirting, one of Saunders
& Company's smacks. Her crew, who
were all saved, are being cared for
by Mr.. Knowles. Parts of the crews
of two other smacks, whose names
could not be learned, are also housed
beneath that hospitable roof

One Lesson of
The Storm.

II Is said to be an i'll wind that
blows nobody good, and it is certain
that some of the belated wayfarers,
who on Thursday morning sought
refuge from the fury of the storm
In the government building, then and
here received an object lesson in fire
protection that they are not likely
soon to forget.
1t was while the lumber shed at
Pitts mill was burning that great
flakes Of smouldering wood were OBJ
served by those on the scene to be
falling on the custom house steps,
and 1t is but natural to suppose that
some Of these flying torches finally
found their way to some Of the
shingled roofs in the neighborhood.
Fortunately for Pensacola, those
wooden roofs, no longer inflammable,
were soakd by the heavy rain that
had fallen through the night. Had
these roofs been dry-had no rain
fallen-what would have been the
result?
The great Jacksonville fire spread
beyond all hope of human control by
Just such shingled roofs as these,
and we think it clear that the people
of Pensacola can no longer afford to
irifle with fate In any such manner
as this.
The use of wooden shingles is now
prohibited in Jacksonville, and we
trust that our own city will follow
suit at the earliest moment possible.
