Mr.. SIMMONS MAKES
STATEMENT REGARDING SHERIFF

Tallahassee. Fla, Apr. 16, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
My attention has just been called
TO a statement made by me and pub
lished in Wednesdays Journal, and
also to Sheriff Van Pelts counter
statement published the next day.
My statement was made in response
to a direct inquiry of a Journal rep
resentative as to whether or not the
sheriff called for the state troops.
The statement being sent in the form
of a telegram was very much con-
densed, and since Mr.. Van Pelt de-
MES some minor points in it, l deem
it but fair to all parties concerned to
give more of the details.
About ten o'clock last Saturday l
was called over the long distance tele-
phone and informed by some tele-
phone operator either in Georgia or
Alabama that the mayor of Pensacola
wished to speak to me, but I could
not understand anything he said.
asked that his message be repeated to
me, and after some delay in consult
ing the superintendent" whatever
that may mean), was informed that
the mayor wished to say that the
strike situation in Pensacola had be-
come serious. and TO ask that the
told the operator to tell him that his
request would be complied with.
/ Immediately reported the matter
to the adiutant generals office, and
| was informed that the DeFuniak
Springs company would be assembled
at once. 4 teIeqraphed Mayor Good
man this information, and asked him
| TO telegraph me in case the troops
were needed, both the governor and
the adjutant general then being alb
sent from the capital. AT two forty
| five that afternoon I received a tele-
gram from him calling for the DeFun-
lax Springs and Mariana companies
| just as soon as possible to move them.
The adjutant general having arrived
in the city in the meantime, / immedi-
ately turned this telegram over to
him.
About five o'clock in the afternoon
I was again called over the long dis
lance telephone and informed that
| 'the sheriff at Pensacola wished to
speak 70 me. Again l was unable to
understand and asked that the mes
sage be repeated, which was done.
As / remember it. the conversation
was as follows:
/ was informed that the sheriff
wished the troops put in readiness to
move to Pensacola in case they
should be needed 1 replied that the
mayor had already called for two
| companies, and was told that the
sheriff said have them ready, as he
1 thought he would have to call for
them before night. / again instruct
| ed the operator to inform him that
the mayor had called for two com
panies, and that they would reach
Pensacola that night Adjutant Gen
eral Foster was standing near, and
was repeating the message 10 him,

and murderers out of the hands of
the sheriff in order to dispose of him
by the lynching PROGRESS and then
gets drunk and let's him escape, is
there any punishment too severe for
that mob? That is what happened
in Baldwin county, Alabama, the other
day. If the negro had been kept in
the possession of the sheriff he would
undoubtedly have been legally hanged
for his diabolical crime; but a brutal
brainless, drunken mob has cheated
the law of its victim and now one of
the most dangerous wild beasts in
the world is roaming through the
land to repeat his crime at pleasure
upon any unfortunate white woman
he finds. AS for that mob itself,
what language can do justice to the
enormity of its double crime? The
women of Baldwin county should
burn up every member of ii under
the fierce heat of their indignation
and contempt"
There is room for additional COM
ment. 1t is a crying shame that a
murderer sentenced for a term of six
teen years should be hired ont to a

liberty. is treated as a trusted EN-
ploye, is given an opportunity to arm
himself and TO go out freely into the
neighborhoOd to perpetrate another
diabolical crime There must be a
radical defect in our convict system.
In any other civilized country a muir
derer would have suffered for his
crime. In this state he is given a
position of trust and allowed perfect
freedom to commit new crimes.

The people of Florida should be
proud of their state troops as repre-
scented in Pensacola today. These
young men are true soldiers TO the
core. and they are here at the plain
call OF duty, after they had been sum-
moned by the governor to preserve
order and take no part on either side
in the pending troubles. They have
borne themselves in such manly,
STRAIGHTFORWARD, s6.dierly way that
they have won the respect of all of
our people of all classes: and no
matter how fierce and bitter the crit
id-ism may be among the strikers and
their opponents and sympathizers on
each side, all recognize that the sol
diers are mere in obedience to orders
and that they are doing their duty
without prejudice. fear or favor. They
simply stand for law and order
which we al want, and they take nc
part on either side. Their record in
Pensacola thus far. under trying cir
cumstanees, has been irreproachable
and while many dispute the necessity
for their presence, all agree that a,
the military arm of the state govern
ment, they have preserved the peac,
without violating the rights of an!
citizen.

'EARD, STOCKTON, LANEY.
Madison New Enterprise.


Three candidates visited Madison
and spoke in the courthouse Satur-
day last to an audience which might
have been larger had the coming of
the candidates been more generally
known.
Col. Chas. E. Davis presided, and
first introduced Judge Chas H
Laney of Pensacola. who aspires to
represent the Third district in con-
gress. The judges remarks were
brief and confined mostly to telling
the people who he was and where he
came from, and where he hopes TO
spend the after life. AS the Judge
had announced another date for his
appearance before the Madison peo-
pie. he generously closed his remarks
and gave place to Hon. John s.
Beard. also OF Pensacola, candidate
for the United States senate. Mr..
Beard is a man of magnificent proper
lions and a splendid talker. Right
from the jump he discussed his IA
NOUS plan for declaring invalid the
fifteenth amendment to the ccnstitu-
ton of the United States and dis
franchising the negro voter He dis

siasm, Iole. We think, by his manner

speaker, but as the hour was late and
the few remaining auditors were get
ting hungry, he spoke or talked very
briefly, cCntenting himself with few

A Story Without
Foundation In Fact.

A printed petition is being circula-
ted ali over Florida for signatures,
addressed to Governor Broward, and
originating presumably in Confeder-
ate circles, protesting against the re-
moval of the battle flags of the Flor
ida troops in the civil war from the
capitol building at Tallahassee to the
state arsenal at St Augustine. The
petition states that the petitioners are
advised that the adjutant general OF
Florida intends at an early date to
make such removal of the flags.
Adjutant General Foster is now in
pensacola. and when a representative
of The Journal called his attention to
this petition he stated with emphasis
that there was not one word of truth
tn the story that any removal of the
flags to st; Augustine or any other
point was contemplated, and he was
unable to understand how such a re-
port could have been originated. IL
purposes IL was cheap and ineffect-
i've device. for nothing was easier
than to expose it.
General Fosters remarks on the
subject made it perfectly sure that
there was no foundation in fact for
this story OF the intended flag removal,
and the petitions 10 the governor
might as well be called in.

capitol to stay there. with no effort
from any quarter to remove them, and
