BLISS IS CANDIDATE
PENsACOLA,s MAYOR ANNOUNCES
 FOR REELECTION.
Much Interest in Municipal Politics Is Felt By People of Florida Sea- port Committee Meets
 Tuesday.

Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 24.--(SpeciaL)- The announcement of Mayor Charles H Bliss that he Is a candidate for re- election, while not surprise, caused considerable interest to be manifested by reason of the fact that he virtually throws down the gauntlet to the pres ent members of the City Council, a number of whom are already announced as candidates for reelection with the probability that others will later go before the people and ask to be re- turned to the councilmanic body.
 The Mayor recites in his announce ment what he has accomplished in the way of improvements in the city. and that, too, he states, with Council op- posed to him. There has never been any harmony between the Mayor and the Council since the Mayor took his seat This fact is commented upon by the Pensacola Journal, which this morning calls attention to this fact. and also remarks that while the Coun- cil and the Mayor, with their respec- tive friends arrayed against one anotf- CT during the present campaign, that there is third party--the disinterest- ed one--in the factional fight but who may decide to take hand and bring out ticket that will defeat both the Mayor and Council, and thus end a sauahble that has continued for the two years.
 It is the consensus of opinion. that while this may come to pass, the two factions will continue to wage war in the campaign. and If another ticket comes forth that 1t will receive but It, tie attention from either of the two factions.
 It Is general talk upon the streets that Alderman P. K. Yonge. who is considered one of the best men in the present council, will come out as an opponent of Mayor Bliss. in the contest, and if he does, the race will be very interesting specially as there Is already candidate in the race In the person of J. Campbell Avery. who announced some weeks ago.
 The race for the office of City Mar shal Is also attracting attention, owing to the fact that there are many candi- dates in the field and several of them are connected with the police depart ment and sherff's office. Of the array of names that will be found on the ballot are those of Chief Deputy Sher- fir Frank D. Saunders, Marshal NJ. B. Frank. Deputy Marshal Joseph Fonde- billa, Mounted Officer Frank Wilde, Constable c. P. Bobe, and ex-Patrol- man Charles H. Vil1ar. All of the men are we'll known and have had long ser- vice with both the city and county, and the race is expected to be very close and interesting one from this date to the close of the first primary.
 The Executive Committee, which is to name the dates of the first and second primaries is to meet Tuesday night, and it is very probable that ApriF2 will be selected as the date of the first pr!- mary and May for the second, with the general election falling on June 4.

LINE TO JACKSON.

Government to Connect River Locks by Telephone Service.
 Demopolis, Feb. 24.---(Special. A few days ago Judge A. L. Hasty, of Linden, received letter from H. Jer- vey, who is at the head of the United States Engineers ofice in Mobile, in which he stated that it is to the inter- est of the United States Government to construct and maintain a telephone line from Demopolis to Jackson, for use in connection with the construction and operation of the locks on the Tom bigbee and Black Warrior Rivers. The route for the line, so the letter states, will probably be by the way of Coffeevifle. Putnam and Nanafalia.
 Permission was requested to use the public roads of Marengo County for the telephone line, and Judge Nasty was requested to bring the matter be- fore the proper county officials and obtain the permission requested, stat ing that the line would. under no cir cumstaneN. interfere with the traffic on the highways.
 Judge Nasty presented the matter to the County Commissioners, who will llngly granted the rights requested.
 The Government now has telephone line from this place to Lock 8, with connections at Locks l and 2, and at the local exchange in this city.
 The local telephone company has line from this place to Linden, and 1t may be possible that the Govern ment will build their line to Linden and use the local company's line from Linden to Demopolis.

 Mrs. Nancy J. farrell. aged 77 years. one of the oldest and mast beloved res- idents of the Uhland, Ala, community, died at her home there yesterday. The funeral of Mrs. W. T. Wade, nee Miss Kite, who died yesterday near Gus seta, Ga, took place at Oswiehee, Ala, this afternoon.

 Miss Boyd was 4s years old. and for perhaps twenty-five years taught school in West Georgia.

sasnep Rressder Charges Robert wales With Taking SEQ From His PDckefx--Negro Woman
 Terribly Burned.

Pensacola, Feb. 24--(Special. by Long Distance Telephone.--Police Off, ficar Robert Wales, who has been a member of the Pensacola police de- partment for six months, was taken into custody at the police station to- night by Sheriff Van Pelt, under the charge of taking the sum of $2o from James Browder, a young machinist
 This it is alleged occurred Saturday night when Browder was found in a partly intoxicated condition by the po- iiceman and the latter took him to his home on East Government Street. It is charged that while en route to this place that the police officer went through the pockets of the man and found one $f0 and two s notes which he appropriated. When the home of Browder was reached he was met by his wife and the latter states that she heard her husband making demand for his money from the officer and the officer threatened to take him to 1aii if he said any more.
 Browder did not know the officer hut his wife did and she identified him at the county jail, where he was lock ed LID after his badge and police equip- ment were removed.
 Officer Wales strongly denies that he went through the pockets of Browder or took any money from him and on being searched had only few dollars in his possession.
 The arrest was made at o'clock when Wales reported for duty The Sheriff had been informed in the after noon by Browder and his wife and he went to the station and remained there until the officer put in his appearance. He took him into custody and escorted him across the street to the county prison.
 The case has caused much comment among those who heard of it tonight and especially as it was only about 8 week ago that Police Officer ". e. Ward disappeared from the city after a warrant was issued for him on me charge of Keeping a gambling house. A few days later his son, C. D. Ward. also disappeared and has not since been seen.

Two Murder My.terie..


 Coroner Paris of Jefferson County has been wrestling for more than a week now with two murder mysteries, in both instances white men being the victims. The white man, who was kill ed by being struck over the head with blunt Instrument by unknown parties and left lying on the sidewalk near the corner of Powell Avenue ana Nine- teenth- Street, an unfrequented place, where he was found by an officer on his beat, has been the most mysterious of the two cases Tn the other case where Deputy Sheriff A. P. Johnson was shot through the brain, just after coming out of the home of James Sims. who lives on Fifth Avenue and Sew epth Street, there is no reason why a clue should not present itself in time.
 So far there is no unravelling the last mystery, though several people were with the victim just prior to the shooting and at the time of the killing friend was near by, practically with him. The man whose body is being held at the undertaking establishme ent of the Gaudin Undertaking Company. has been identified as several men al- ready. He reserlbled considerably a man by the name of Tom Wilcox, then somebody else and now another name is mentioned. All kinds of plausible stories have been advanced as to how the man came to his death Ono of these Is that he came to the city with good sized roll Of money and in the tenderloin district was robbed after being made drunk and then struck on the head. A carriage was used in bringing the prostrate form to the city and 1t was placed on the sidewalk at the point mentioned so that the po- iicennan would find it. Coroner Paris has been working hard. Before the end of the past week he announced that he had a clue and that he believed that he would solve the mystery.
