after planting. Where the upper part
of an old tree has been killed by cold
the vitality in the root is SO great
that the new growth is very fast, SO
that, even after freeze, only one
years fruit is lost.
While the spirit of the "City Beau
tiful'' is growing in Pensacola, we
should not forget that in planting or
namental trees a tree that is useful
as we'll as ornamental is much to be
preferred to one that possesses only
the latter quality. The Satsuma or
ange tree has both and it is, more
over, peculiarly appropriate to
southern climate
There is scarcely yard in Pensa-
cola but that has room for from a
dozen to a hundred of these trees and
everyone may have oranges growing
about the premises for the planting
The Journal hopes that the idea may
take hold and that great many
these handsome and useful trees will
be planted this winter.

Satsuma Oranges in West Florida.

Satsuma Oranges in West Florida.
The Satsuma being much more
hardy than any other sweet orange in
cultivation, the Pensacola Journal
urges its readers to set out this va
rlety. The editor uses the follow
ing arguments:
The development of the Satsuma
orange in this country has demon
strated that in this latitude and even
far up into Alabama and Georgia
that hardy little tree will withstand
all Of the ordinary cold weather that
we have here.
We occasionally get a cold snap
here that will freeze down the Sat-
suilla, but if the proper precautions
are taken the tree itself need not be
lost. Every year on the approach of
cold weather the trees should be
banked ZIP with sand or earth for
foot or more SO that, in the event of
freeze, the tree will not be killed
below the graft. In the spring the
earth can be cleared away and, if the
upper part OF the tree should have
been killed though this occurrence
is very rare-that portion of the trunk
which was covered up will send uD
new branches and in the second year
alter the freeze the tree will be bear
ing again
The Satsutna grows very quickly
and bears ordinarily the second year

THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM
BY B. M. HAMPTON.

would like to know. Some say that
with water we can save one-halt OF Our
fertilizer bills, and such is the case l
have but little doubt, for with plenty OF
water and plenty of fertilizer you can
bring your trees into bearing in one
half of the time, and then where you
now have one box Of fruit, with water
at hand when needed, and plenty Of
fertilizer you can surely have two or
three boxes and Of better quality too.
This is one side Of the question too
many fail to look at But it is the
winning side just the same.
Now as to the amount of water
required for crop Of fruit in Florida.
That is another side that some fail to
comprehend. Too many seem to think
the more water the better, and SO just
pour it in till the ground is as wet as d
sponge Of all the sections I am ia
miliar with, Florida needs the least
water applied to the soil at time.
In the West we applied on rare occa-
sions, two inches of water, and this
would thoroughly soak the ground.
This amount, if on high land, most
always caused seepage to that which
was lower In that section [ have
seen some of our best places ruined by
putting too much water on land that
was higher, showing plainly that even
in those heavy soils the teaching pro-
cess was going on all the time. If too
much water was applied it resulted IN
bringing an over abundance of the
various salts that the soil contained,
down onto the land that already had
enough Of those elements, and particu-
larly Of potash.
Now if soils like those could be
over-irrigated and their abundant fer
tilizing ingredients washed out, what
effect must an excessive use of water
have on our Florida sand? This point
it would be we'll for all to consider
who think of using artificial irrigation
in their groves. Feeding a grove is
just like feeding horse. You all
know you can give horse too much
corn or too much water, yet if you ex-
pect the animal to be strong and vigor-
Gus you must give him both when
needed
In 1906 an experiment was tried ON
soil from the East Coast of Florida
soil such as was in general use for
growing Irish potatoes. It seems
there had been copious rains in the
section from which the soil had been
taken. Now, while the crop had an
abundance Of fertilizers given it, also
plenty Of water, still there was some
thing lacking, and it was to find this
cut that the Experiment Station made
the test.
In my next [ will show the results
Of the test and other points of interest
to Florida growers.

Hid MONEY
IN his bed
and GRAFT
Was USELESS

San Francisco, CAL, Jan. Thorn
as F. Lonergan, one of the supervis-
ors under the Schmitz administra-
ton, and who confessed to the taking
of brides in the trolley franchise and
gas and telephone franchise, died to-
day at his home in this city from
heart disease.
Until Longeran was elected super
visor on the union labor ticket he
drove a pie wagon for local bakery.
After his experience in politics,
where, according to his confession
made to Detective Burns, he accepted
many brides, he returned to driving
the pie wagon, having resigned from
his Office after confession. Most of
the many thousands of dollars OBJ
tanned by Lonergan while supervisor
was lost, part was burned in the fire
of 1906. as he had 1t in greenbacks
stored in the mattress of his bed. He
was 40 years olu and native of Ire
land.
Lonergan was witness for the
prosecution in the Schmitz, Glass and
Ford trials. He was one Of the most
important witnesses for the graft
prosecution.

Washington, D. G., Jan. .6 That
the congressional act known as the
employees liability law is not in ac-
cordance with the constitution of the
United States because it goes beyond
the bounds permitted in the regula-
ton Of interstate comemrce was the
conclusion reached by the supreme
court of the United States in deciding
two damage cases coming to the
court from the federal courts of Ken
lucky and Tennessee, which were
brought under the provision of the
law. The decision was announced by
Justice White, the court standing S
to against the law. Even among
the five who voted not to sustain the
statute, there was a difference Of
opinion.

CHURCH PRE-
SCRlbES new
MARRIAGE
REGULATIONS

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. 6.-New regu-
lations governing marriages of all
who profess the Catholic religion will
go into effect April %.
.'This new rescripte of the pope >
said Bishop Cotton, will throw
around the marriage relation and the
home greater protection. In the first
place, it will be necessary for the
bride or groom to call upol their
own pastor to perform the sacrament
of the marriage.
I'm the second place, this will also
lessen the number of mixed mar
riages against which the church has
always proclaimed and many of
which yes, II may say most Of viii h
have taken place outside the iuris-
dictien of the church.
(. IN siixed marriages the contract
ing parties are wont to go outside the
clergy thus doing away with GER
tain dispensations of the church. The
effect of this new rule will be to dis
pose Of this difhculty.
"This new regulation is practically
a new rule, establishing a canon Law
in America for Catholic churches in
the United States as regards mar.
riage, and will not only sanctify but
preserve the marriage relation

MR.. BROWN
Chairman Ohio Repub. State
Committee States His
Position
Says as Foraker Demanded
Primary Election He Got
.It.--and Kicks

X s /. : .
Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 6. Chairman
Walter +. Brown of the republican
state central committee, today gave
out an extended statement in an
.swer to the criticisms made by Sen
sator Foraker and others of the call
for primaries to select delegates to
the state convention. In part MIR.
Brown said:
The principal objection made has
been directed to the limitation upon
the use of the names of the candi-
dates for president as heading or
designation of delegate tickets. It
must be remembered that Senator
Foraker had publicly requested that
state delegates should be directly
chosen at primary elections held un-
der the state law.
Clearly to place bona fide Fora
ker list Of delegates and bona f1de
list Of Taft delegates upon a ballot
side by side and to permit electors to
designate their preference by plac-
ing cross at the head of one or the
other Of such tickets, is to provide q
primary plan which is absolutely fair
to each presidential candidate as weR
as to every elector.
"As chairman of the republican
state central committee my sole aim
has been to perform my duties with
absolute fairness to all and in har-
mony with the prevailing sentiment
of Ohio republicans"

LETTER TO
The PRESlD'T
IS GIVEN OUT

Washington, D. c., Jan. 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt made public today the
following letter of Admiral Brown
son, VIII resigned as chief of the
navigation bureau Of the navy de-
partment, with an explanation that
it was inadvertently omitted from
the correspondence made public this
morning. The letter follows:
Department Of the Navy" Bureau
of Navigation. Washington, D. c.,
Dec. "a, 1907.
"Sir: In April last was detached
by your order from the command of
the United States Asiatic feet and
was ordered to Washington and ap-
pointed chief of the most important
bureau in the navy department, a
bureau which under the secretary, is
charged with matters relating to the
personnel, discipline and efficiency of
the fleet.
''This transfer from a command
which ranks second in importance
afloat, to one which is second to none
on shore, coming on the eve of my
retirement from active service, while
not to my personal liking, was deeply
gratifying to me as it appeared to
be an evidence OF. your confidence in
my professional ability. /.
I'm order, however, that any eff
forts Of mine to maintain the high
standard of efficiency and discipline
in the service be attended with sue
cess it is absolutely essential that /
should have the confidence Of the
tservice. at large as well as that OF
higher authority. The efficiency Of a
fleet can only be maintained when Of
fcers and men feel that the chief
| of the bureau of navigation has the
confidence of the commander-in chief
| of the army and the navy when a
strong military spirit exists in the
service. Anything that shows lack OF
confidence or tends to break down
this military spirit, which has been
the safeguard and principal asset OF
the navy since its beginning can but
impair such efficiency.
'tThe recent order placing a medi-
cal officer in command of hospital
ship is, in my opinion, and as have
endeavored on several occasions tc
point out to you, clearly opposed to
4 the intent of the law; is a radical de.
parture from established naval usage
and is fraught with danger to the eff.
ficiency of the fleet and will tend,
believe, to break down the military
spirit of the service and shows a want
of your confidence in my advice re,
garding a matter SO vital to the best
interest of the service. I am left
therefore, with no alternative but to
tender my resignation as chief of the
bureau of navigation, much as re.
greet to sever my active connection
with the service to which / have beer
devoted and to which I have giver
my best efforts for over 46 years.

THAW
Second Trial Of This Famous
Young Man Gets a
Good Start
Nine Jurors Tentatively Sc
cured-.TfiaI Rushed.
Interest Abating

New York, Jan. AT the close OF
three court sessions which marked
this, the first day of the second trial
of Harry X. Thaw, for killing STAN
ford White, nine tentative jurors had
been selected out of f1fty-seyen tales
men examined by District Attorney
Jerome for the prosecution and Mar
tin w. Littleton for the defense All
the men in the jury box are subject to
preemptory challenge, of which each
side has thiryt. In view of the diff
Guilty experienced last year in dis
charging five jurors after they had
taken the oath, it was agreed this
time not to administer any oath until
both sides finally are satisfied with
the full panel.
The legal insanity at the time of the
tragedy is to be the sole defense. This
| was made clear at the outset of the
proceedings today when Mr.. Littleton
formally served notice that the former
plea of not guilty was amended by
specifications that defendant was ia
sane when the homicide was commit
ted.
The occupants of the jury box at
the conclusion Of tonights session
were:
j 1. Charles e. Gremmels, ship bro
ker.
/ 2 John r. Hatchett, cigar dealer.
g. George B. Norwood, importer.
4. Floyd s. Sanford, bank manager.
/ S. James Conway, hotelkeeper.
6. VIM. E. Brewer, decorator.
| Z. Arthur R. Naething, baker
s. Maurice Bouvies, exporter.
9. Geo. W. Cary, dry goods dealer.
Three court sessions, including an
evening sitting from to 10 o'clock,
are held daily until the jury is COM
pleted.
The trial opened with little or no
ceremony and there was distinct evil
dence of the slackened public inter-
est. Admittance to the court ruoll
was vigorously restricted and all day
long there were vacant benches.
