ANOTHER SIDE OF
! PfONAGE CASES
IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER
SAYS OFFICIALS FAIL TO
GIVE FAIR HEARING.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Nov. 5.-David Robin
son, immigration commissioner for
the southern states, has made public
a letter which he said he had sent to
President Roosevelt, asking the presi-
dent to instruct the department. Of
justice to seek in this city evidence
In connection with the charges of
peonage recently made against SOUTH
ern companies. 3. ~.
In his communication Mr. Robin
son said that he can prove false testi-
mony given before a grand Jury at
Atlanta, Ca, concerning German en-
ployes who wers engaged in this city
for work in the south.
He recites difficulties encountered
in securing competent help among
the immigrants landing here and
says that agents of southern firms
are constantly imposed upon by men
who neither care to work nor add to
the community to which they are
sent, but who, upon making frivolous
charges, are given hearing by Of
ficials who fail to investigate both
sides of the case. The result, he
says, is injurious to the cause of labor
in the south.

The Drainage Amendment Is
Chief Issue Throughout
the State.
NECESSITY FOR NOMINATING
TWO MEN FOR LEGISLATURE
HAS ALSO CREATED ADDITION.
AL INTEREST IN EscAMsIA
COUNTY.

The general state election in Flor
ida occurs to-day. The forecast of
weather conditions is for fair wealth,
er, and there should be good vote
polled throughout Escambia county.
The election would have passed off
as usual with but little interest, but
for the Everglades drainage issue and
the fact that 1t became necessary to
nominate new man for the Office of
representative to the legislature. This
necessitated a meeting of the COM
mittee, which caused general inter-
est, and the meeting last night to
ratify the nomination of Hon. r. P.
Reese increased the, interest to en-
thusiasm, and it is freely predicted
that an exceptionally. large vote win
be polled in all of the city and coun-
try precincts.
Another question which has caused
great interest in the election to-day
is the proposition to drain the Ever
glades, which is favored by Governor
Broward, and upon which the voters
should be thoroughly familiar, as it
has been given considerable publicity
during the past few months.
Placards Posted.
To-day there will be posted at every
voting precinct in the county pla-
cards asking the voters to cast their
ballots in favor of the drainage
amendment. An error, however. oc-
Cured in this placard In that II gives
the amendment the wrong number.
Governor -f3roward last night wired TO
parties in the city requesting them to
give publicity to the fact that those
who are in favor of the drainage
amendment should vote Eyes" for that
article in which the word drainage"
occurs, and pay no attention to the
number on the placard.
Journal to Bulletin Returns.
While there is considerable inter-
est in the county and state election,
there is much greater interest In the
elections to be held in other states
particularly New York where Hearst
and Hughes are the gubernatorial
candidates.
In. order to give the public the re-,
suit of the election at the earliest
uOuI uC JOuI ndS
ranged to bulletin the elections re-
turns at its Office, corner Intendencia
and DeLuna streets, as fast as the
kilograms are received, and the pub
lie generally is invited to ca. and

= Saloons are Closed.
AS required by law, all saloons of
the city closed their doors at p. m.
yesterday and from that hour until
6 o'clock tomorrow morning no
liquors or intoxicating drinks will be
allowed to be sold. and to violate this
law means a heavy penalty upon con-
viction. The saloons of Pensacola
closed promptly upon the minute. and
those who were not cognizsnt of the
fact that election laws prohibited the
sale of intoxicants on election day
will go without their drinks until to-
morrow.

Successful Attempt to Melt Iron Ore

According to an announcement at the
Canadian 500 today pig iron can be
made by electric smelling, as proved
by experiments just completed, for
$40 ton, or SIS less than the cost by
the old method. 1t is predicted that
the iron and steel industry will be
revolutionized.
The experiments have been secret,
the expenses being paid by the Do
minion government The plants where
the work was done are owned by the
Lake Superior Corporation. Doctor
Herault, a French expert, had charge
of the tests. The Canadians think it
means the development in the near
future of large ore fields in the vicin-
ity of Lake Superior, on the Ontario

DAY PASSES QUIETLY
Senate's Failure to Take up Patter-

Crowded Galleries.

Washington, Feb. 8.-There was a
general expectation that today would
witness revival of yesterdays ex-
citing occurrences in the senate over
Mr.. Patterson's caucus resolution, but
it was not realized and the large
crowd attracted to the galleries was
compelled to leave in disappointment,
when at p. m. the senate went into
executive session, after a day devoted
largely to ordinary bills on the calen-
dar.
The indications of the early morn
ing were in the line of popular ex-
pectation, as several senator's express
ed desire to speak on the resolution.
There were other senator's, however,
who held the view that the caucus
question had been sufficiently agitated
and they spent much of the first hour
of the days session in an effort to pre-
vent further discussion.
They were successful for the time
at least and it was soon known that
the resolution would not be called to-
day.
