BANKHEAD'S CARD
DEFEATED CONGRESSMAN ISSUES
 STATEMENT TO VOTERS.
Compliments Energy, Vim and InteiIi- genee of His Naval Hero Opp0n-
 ent And Thanks All Of s His Friends.

Fayette, May 10.--(Special. )-Con- gressman J. H. Bankhead. who was defeated for renomination in the Sixth District by Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson has issued the following state ment to voters of the district:
 ITO the Democracy of the Sixth Con- gres onal District:
 "The official count of the Democratic primary election has been made. and Captain Hobson is nominated to suc- ceed me in Congress. I accept the sit- uation and have no complaint to make. will give Captain Hobson my loyal support.
 Captain Hobson made a very re- markable campaign. The energy, vim and intelligence with which he con ducted it challenges the admiration of all observers. As soon as the result was known I wired Captain Hobson my congratulations and taadered him my services to aid in giving him the largest majority ever received in the district. .
 Tn the heat of such a campaign as we have just passed through, it is im- ness and estrangement of friends, but we should all remember this was a contest within the Democratis family, and I appeal to all my friends to lay aside any animosities that may have been engendered, and give Captain Hobson their loyal support, to the end that he may receive an unprecedented majority. ..5.t .3 sts
 "As is well known I have devoted many years of patient service and eff forts towards securing the opening and Improvement of the Alabama water ways and the Mobile harbor. This work has been my pride and I had h Tf by reason of my long experience I can render Captain Hobson any assistance In carrying forward this great work to a successful completion I stand ready and anxious to do so.
 For twenty years the Democrats of the Sixth District have given me their generous support and I have done my very best to serve and promote their interests. To the many good friends who gave me their support prior to the time when Captain Hob son entered the field I desire to ex- press my deep and lasting gratitude. It would be unjust to them If l criti- cized them for supporting Captain Hoh- son and gave them no credit for the years they indorsed my candidacy with their votes. It is, however. to those friends who supported me in the last primary election so faithfully and so loyalty I desire to express my daep and grateful appreciation. No man ever had truer or more loyal friends than these. They did their best. God bless them.
 Tn retiring from Congress I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have done the best could for my district and State, and I shall continue to feel n deep interest in all questions that af- feet their political and material inter ests.
 "Yours faithfully,
 "John H. Bankhead."

Must Remove Wharf.

The City Attorney now has the mat ter of the Bloss wharf, at the foot of Florida Street, in hand and will de- mand that the wharf, which is now being constructed under a franchise granted twenty-five years ago, but which it is alleged has expired, be re- moved forthwith. Mayor Bliss and o. l.. Bass are the owners of the franchise, and allege that 1t is perpetual, the only question being that after twenty five years, it gives the city the right to purchase the wharf at an assessed val uation. They say they are ready to sell, but decline to remove the wharf. It is expected the matter will be taken to the courts as money has been appro- priated by the City Council to fight the matter should a light be necessary The Bliss wharf is rapidly becoming celebrated

BOARD IS ROASTED
REPORT OF PENSACOLA COUNCIL.
 COMMITTEE SALTY.
scathing DenuncintiOn of Methods in Vogue and Criticism of Omcial Actions of Public Works
 Body.

Pensacola, May 10.-(Special. )--The long expected report of the Finance Committee. which was appointed by the Council to inspect the records of the Board of Public Works and report to the Council the manner in which brsi- ness was conducted by that body. has at last been submitted and is a scath- ing denunciation of the methods In vogue as well as sharp criticism of the official actions of that body.
 Among other things 1t says that C. H. Gingles: former street superintendent. who was removed by the board some time since, should not have been tried upon charges of absenting himself from duty in view of the action of the City Council in ordering that he be rein stated after his summary removal. This was previous to discharge after trial on the charges preferred.
 It is also alleged that the removal Of Capt. J. A. Daw, foreman in the street department, was nasty and ill., advised. The report alleges irregu- larities in the keeping of records and the manner of expending public funds; says that 1t is impossible to make any estimate of the work done by the board charges that the city pay rolls were signed without investigation and cen sures the members of the board for non reinforcement of the street sprirk- ling and garbage contracts.
 Whether any action will be taken by the CityCouncil on the report is not known at the present time, but 1t Is presumed that some action will be taken at special meeting of the Coun- ell which has been called for Monday to go into the matter
