SALVAGE LAW
IS NOT GOOD
Judge Locke Says Pilot
Commissioners Can't
Have Monopoly.

The Miami Metropolis says: An
important decision was rendered IN
the United States court at Key West
by Judge Charles w. Locke Tuesday
morning that has a direct bearing
and interest in this port.
The case was an action in habeaS
corpus brought by Capt. Anderson
TO test the constitutionality of that
part of the piolt commissioners laws
which attempts to prohibit any one,
not a pilot commissioner. from act
ing or serving on a board of survey
on any vessel in any of the ports of
Florida.
Capt. Anderson and Mr.. Davis.
were arrested last March and taken
before the criminal court of Monroe
county at Key West, on an informa-
ton charging them with having vio-
lated the provision of the Florida
statute, in that they acted as or
served on a board of survey on the
steamer Hannah NJ. Bell, which went
ashore on March 18th, directly OPP
posite Miami and off the new ship
channel
Monday an application was made
by Capt Anderson, through his at
torneys, MeSsrs. Jefferson B. Browne
and H H Taylor, for a writ of
habeas corpus, and Tuesday morning
the same was argued before Judge
Locke, with --.e result that the stat
ute was declared in violation of the
commerce clause of the constitution
of the United States, and Capt. An
derson ordered released.
Heretofore the pilot commissioners
have claimed the exclusive right to
hold surveys on vessels and cargoes
brought into port disabled or in dis
tress. The decision of Judge Locke
settles the question which has long
been discussed, and any competent
person is now being eligible to sit on
board of survey.

TEACHING THE HORSE
TO FACE DEATH FEARLESSLY

Cavalry chargers vary from fifteen
to sixteen hands in height, and sharp
rules have been laid down about their
shape, action, and treatment. There
are regular schools where the raw
fOur-legged recruit is trained, and his
education embraces the fearless SWIM

possibly the enemy have destroyed

cruits drawn up in a vast ring around

ceedings with a sharp shot from an
army revolver. The animals are
taught to gallop fearlessly up TO line

WRECK Of THE
8. \. MALLORY
Coasting Schooner Strikes
Rock Between Miami
and Key West and
Goes Down.

The Miami Metropolis says: The
coasting schooner Stephen R. Mallory
Capt Sweeung, and very valuable
cargo now lie sunk on rock shoal
off Basin Hill, and both may result
in total loss.
The Stephen r. Mallory sailed from
Miami last Monday morning en- route
to Key West, carrying cargo oi
starch valued at $500 for a Key West
merchant, besides other freight and
several passengers. All went well
until the vessel was of Basin Hill
point of Key Largo, when she ran
on a rock, punching hole in her
bottom and causing her to sink in a
few minutes.
Details of the accident are not OBJ
tainable. but it is stated that Capt
Sweeting had retired, when the
watch on deck lost their bearings
and ran the vessel onto a rock bank
While the schooner is submerged
she is in shallow water and may be
saved. though the cargo of starch
which was in sacks, is total loss
The crew and passengers escaped
with ease and without danger.
Wreckers are now about the sunk
en- vessel and an effort is being made
to float her, in which event she viii
be either towed to Key West OF
brought here for repairs.
The Stephen r. Mallory is owned
in Key West and was a we'll known
coaster, plying between Miami and
Key West for the past year or more
in the freight and passenger business
She was a two-masted vessel of "a
gross tons, 54.4 feet in length, Is feet
beam. feet depth, and was built in
Cedar Keys in 1895.
