prominent in railroad and business
life. with all of whom he has discussed
various phrases of the railroad situa-
ton. receiving their ideas on the
question whether the president should
recommend additional legislation, an.
most of them have urged him to de-
fine his position He has said he has
not departed from his public deciara-
tons on the subject that he is secur.
ing all possible information and when

JOINT SESSION
Of TWO CITY
BOARDS
Matter of Extending Side.

But no Action Taken.

A joint session of the Board of
Public Works and the Committee on
Parks and Ways, was held last nigh;,
Mayor Bliss, Chairman ZeIius and Lee
Daniel of the former board and Chair
man Renshaw Of the latter being
present. Postmaster Northup was al
so in attendance to give the mem
bers information regarding the car
rier service.
The object of the meeting was to
map out plan whereby the free de-
livery service of the postofice could
be extended. The postofice depart
ment has refused to extend the SER
vice to points where there are no
sidewalks, and only recently decreased
the service by eliminating the deliv.
the vincinity of st. Johns cemetery.
Mayor Bliss and Chairman Zelius
reported that they had made an In
spection of the entire city during the
day and had found several portions
thickly populated where the sidewalk
law was not effective.
Postmaster Northup when asked re.
garding the matter stated that to ex.
tend the service the department de
manded sidewalks, numbering of
houses and naming of streets, but the
principal thing is sidewalks. He said
that the stamp sales at Pensacola now
aggregated $4,000 annually and with
such a showing there would be no
trouble In securing five additional
carriers If sidewalks were placed, but
that the department would make no
extension OF delivery limits until the
city provided the walks. <;
The members discussed the matter
at some length, and finally adjourned

NEW RIFLES FOR
! THE REGULAR
ARMY
New Pattern of Springfield
Sppplied Troops at Lo-
cal Fortifications.

Troops stationed at Fort Barrapcas,
as well as other posts in this district,
have been furnished with a new model
of the Springfield rifle, which has
been adopted by the war department.
Those for the companies at the local
Notifications were distributed yester-
day.
The old Krag- Jorgensen rifles,
which have been in use for many
years, have been discarded. and as
fast as the new rifles can be distribut-
ed the former will be turned in to
the departm 9nt.
The new rife is considered one of
the best and most serviceable ever
adopted by the army. 1t is shorter
rifle than the old style, is of a 80 cali
hre and fires bullet at a velocity o.
1900 feet per second. One feature
of the new arm which is a great i'm
provement over the old one is that the
steel barrel is encased in mahogany.
and when the barrel becomes heated
from fast and continued firing the heat
is not felt by the man handling the
gun.
A new feature of the arm is the
length and size of the bayonet. This
is much longer and more serviceable
than on the rifles discarded, and when
attached to the rifle makes the arm
about the same length as the old rifles
with the bayonet attached.
When the rifles were first adopted
1t was decided that bayonets would
not be necessary, owing to the higi,
power of the gun, but after several en-.
gagements had occurred between the
Japs and Russians in which the
bayonet did deadly execution, the de.
partment decided to attach a long
l,avouet
