ANNIE SMITH IS
MlSS|E c; SCANDAL
H|NTEO At
STORY is THAT WOMAN IN Po.
LICE MUss HAS BEEN PAID TO
LEAVE cITY-P RosEc uToR
SEARCHES FOR HER.

Annie Smith, the woman In the po-
lice scandal. has disappeared.
Efforts on the part OF attorneys and
others to locate her within the past
week have been without results, and
some interesting speculation Is being
INDUCED in among those who have
followed the scandal closely as to the
reason for her mysterious departure.
Persons who claim to be in position
TO know do not hesitate to express the
opinion that Annie found 1t To her
material advantage to leave town for
while, though this story is without
confirmation as yet
Where is Annie?" the womans at
torney. Walter +. Martin, was asked.
II don't know, Id like TO find out
myself" was his reply.
The same question was asked AS
sistant Prosecutor Louis w. McClear.
who appeared for the prosecutors of
flee in the grand jury investigation
OF the police scandal and the subse-
quent court proceedings.
II understand she has left town
and nobody seems to know where she
has gone was the assistant prosecu-
tors answer
Are you trying to find herr"
Yes, | am going TO try. | under
stand she has been gone since We'd
nesday."
A man who called at Annie's River
Rouge establishment one day last
week says he found Bessie King, a
former inmate OF Annie's Delray re-
sort, and a hostile witness for the
! prosecution in the proceedings against
Newberry, Hibbler and Commissioner
Smith, apparently In charge of the
place. The Tian was informed that
Annie was out OF town. Since then
some Of the household furniture has
been removed from the River Rouge
establishment back TO Annies old
place on Solvay-ave. and report has
gone out that Annie. through some
other person, is planning TO reopen
the place.
The examination OF Newberry and
Hibbler on separate charges of com.
pounding felony are set for July 7
in the police court. When called a
few days ago an adjournment was
made necessary by Annie's absence.
and 1t was said. at that time. that
Annie was in Toledo securing evil
dence. 1t is known that Annie has
been in Toledo, but not for the pur-
pose OF securing evidence. as far as
the prosecution is concerned. On all
previous occasions. whel the cases
were called and adjourned Annie
Smith was always "Johnny-on-the-sp spot"
and seemed, ready and willing to as
sist the prosecution in every way pos
sible. and for this reason her long
absence Is regarded as significant.
IL is said that powerful influences
have been at work for some time to

In the background until after the cleo
ton. The muss has already done the
commissioners party considerable
damage. Whether these influences
had anything to do with Annie's dis.
appearance is question that Is now
being asked in official circles.
Capt Frank A. Newberry and Frank
B. Hibbler were arraigned Wednesday
afternoon. They stood mute.

ALDERMEN VOTE
FOR POOR SERVICE
GIVE PRINTING TO MORNING
NEWS WITH sHRivELEp STREET
SALE CIRCULATION ONLY.

When the official printing contract
was awarded to the News at 81 cents
an inch for publishing proceedings.
and 80 cents and 20 cents, respective
ly, for tax and assessment sale de-
scriptions. the committee did not UNI
derstand that IL had the authority to
award the two classes OF advertising
10 different bidders.
Corporation Counsel Hally advised
them that II wouit BE entirely regu-
lar To do so. and a motion was filed
for reconsideration. the purpose be-
ing to award the publishing OF tax and
assessment sales TO The Times, whose
bid was the same as that of the News
for much larger circulation-the
News contracting for its first edition
only (which is a shriveled street sale
remnant of the old Tribune circula-
toni while The Times, proposal was
for Ave editions and carrier delivery
covering the entire city.
The reconsideration came up Tues
day evening and was favored as a
move in the interests of the taxpayers
by Chairman Wing and Aid. Allen, OF
the printing committee; but was stout
~ opposed by Committeeman Noel
Ter, who aspires to take charge of the
county funds. but is not very watchful
of how the city money is gsquandered
for inferior service.
The division in the committee kill
ed the reconsideration-the aldermen
not even going into the merits OF the
question in the midst Of the usual
council hubbub and disorder-and de.
prived the city OF the advantage OF
having portion of its advertising
published In a newspaper that really
circulates.
But no doubt Aid. Moeller Is a hero
In the eyes of the News, and for the
time being the overjoyed recipient OF
its feeting favor and affection.

Tuesday afternoon. at the hands OF a
jury in Judge Connolly's court, where
he was charged with robbing Peter
Bulley. Patrick Is native OF Cork,
Ireland, but he speaks with typical
cockney accent and his testimony was
like a chapter from Dickens.
The complalnant's story was that
he met Murphy In a saloon and after
buying him several drinks and d
square meal he was escorting him to
u room for the night when Murphy
turned on him, knocked him down
and robbed him of 81. Murphy in
sisted that Bulley had made him

REFUSES TO SIGN
PLEDGE; JAILED

CAUSE COUNTY JUSTICE
sUNGLES COMMITMENT.

Whereas, on the 26th day OF
June at Trenton. of Monguagon
town nip. before me, Samuel Bias
ten, justice OF the peace, Henry
Savers WAS duly convicted at The
village IL Trenton, upon oath OF
James Bolsby, towit-i1enry
Sayres. of Slocum Junction, was
lying drunk In the alley and had
his shoes off and two bottles OF
whiskey in his pockets and plead
guilty thereto-PLEAD GUILTY.
And whereas, upon such con-
viction /, the said Samuel Bas-
ten, did determine that the said
Henry Sayres should take the
pledge for one year and IL he vio-
lated said pledge be and remain
imprisoned in the county Jail for
period of 80 days from and in
Guiding this date.
Therefore. you are commanded
to take him into custody.
On the above commitment Henri,
Sayres, an aged civil war veteran o
Slocum's Junction, was turned owe
to the custody Of Sheriff Burns by thu
Trenton authorities last Saturday
By the same token he was discharged
when the prosecuting at
torney pronounced the commitmen
defective. In the opinion Of Assistan
Prosecutor Eaman, to whom the mat
ter was referred. the justice blundereC
when he sentenced the defendant t
take the pledge for a year. The maxi
mum penalty for his offense is 81
days and as a pledge is in the nature
Of a parole the court had no authorit!
to bind him for a longer period thar
the maximum term of Imprisonment
allowed by law.
AS 1t happened. Sayres refused Il
take the pledge and was sent up fol
30 days in default. but, under the
prosecutors ruling, as the alternative
was contrary to law the Justices &C
ton was wholly invalid.
The aged prisoner presented a pitt
able sight when he was released Wed
nesday noon. He is In very bad
shape as q result of his over indul
gence and was scarcely able to move
He was wholly without funds and II
will probably be necessary for the
poor commission to provide him with
back to his home.
Sheriff Burns is thinking of havinl
the commitment framed as one of the
most unique documents OF It's kline
ever received at his office.

OFFICIAL PEONAGE PERSE-

New Orleans States.


The case of the government against
the agents of the Florida East Coast
Railroad, charged with peonage, 19s
come to a sorry end, in spite of the
fact that two years and much money
were spent in preparing At. A few
days ago Judge Hough of t-e United
States circuit court at New York, dis
missed the case and ordered an acquit-
tai because in his opinion the govern
ment had failed TO present sufficient
evidence against the defendants. In
this way ends another so-called south
eTn peonage case"
During the last five years the south
has suffered much from this form Of
official persecution. Citizens have
been arrested and denounced in the
public prints as brutes who have kept
their felloWmen in involuntary serv-
itude. and been guilty of great cruelty
and outrageS. Whole communities
have been maligned and immigrants
warned to steer clear of them unless
they wished to suffer the horrors of
slavery. 1t seems to us that it is time
for Southern representatives in con-

The tariff is a tax, an unjust tax
which the democratic party denounces
and will continue to denounce, but see
ing that we have to pay it, whether
we will or no, we are bot1 in law
and equity entitled to what benefits
we may be able to get out of it. 1t
will help US in spots undoubtedly and
by vigorously asserting our rights be-
fore the committee of ways and
means in Washington the number OF
spots may be increased. The Times
Union puts it in this convincing way:
The Floridian pays tribute to New
England on every garment he wears.
He pays tribute to Pennsylvania on
every product of iron or steel that ne
uses. The cradle he is rocked in in
his infancy is taxed. The toys he
plays with in his childhood, the knife
he cuts with, are taxed. When ne
grows up and starts a home of his own
the wire he fences his land with is
taxed. He builds his house of>taxed
lumber fastened in place with taxed
nails. He buys taxed furniture. His
meals are cooked in a taxed stove
and served in taxed dishes on a tax
ed table. He eats them with taxed
knives and forks and spoons while sit
ting in a taxed chair. If he has a
carpet on his floor northern manufac-
turers have collected tribute on il.
He cultivates his crops with taxed
agricultural implements When he
grows i'll taxed medicines are presrih-
ed for him. Wlen he dies he is bur-
led in taxed coffin, and il his grave
is marked it is by taxed tombstone.

Florida for the benefit of other states.
Realizing that whether he will or not
he must pay out all this for the ben
eft of others the Floridian should not
be too severely csnsured for a desire
TO get hack some of it through a tar
in on Florida products.

Newton, Miss, Nov. 26.-On this
day of national rejoicing and thanks
giving for the manifold blessing of the
God of nations, Wien His people with
sublime accord pause in their varied
pursuits to return thanks of grateful
hearts for health, happiness and peace
full pursuit of tickle fortune, untra1n-
meled by disasters of war, famine or
pestilence, we send greetings to our
many Florida friends with the earnest
wish for many returns of this occas-
ion. Though time with unrelenting
hand mas severed us from associations
that to us were as sweet as morning
dew in the Maytime, yet, lingering
loving memories of friendships dear
to our heart, will accompany us
through life'S unmeasured length, even
if the varied vicissitudes of our check
cred career shall operate against our
return to the scenes We learned to
love so well.
Florida with its wonderful wealth OF
undeveloped resources, with a eli
mate that lends to it the charm of a
paradise and a people of generous i'm
pulses, is destined to become the cy-
nosure of the tourist. the capitalist
and the homeSeeker who in the full
ness of time and fulfillments of our
prophesy will make it the Eden of
America Its geographical position
when the great inland waterways i'm
provement is completed, will place it
foremost in the field of investment
and varied industries.
Pensacola, by virtue of its land
locked anchorage and juxtaposition to
the great Isthmian canal may, can
and should become the leading port of
81 hn 10
South. In point of natural advantages
it stands alone in its class, and moth
ing but wilful waste of opportunity
and woeful want of enterprise can de-
feat the fulfillment of its manifest
destiny and deny its claim to great
ness.
But. deep water and lavish use of
printers ink unaided by men and
money, will not, can not, force an in
different, dissenting small city into a
position of supremacy.
Pensacola nas two formidable rivals
to the west and some smaller ones
to the east of her that ii will be well
for her not to overlook, nor rely too
much upon her natural advantages.
for the right kind of men with avail
able money create advantages that
nature failed to bestow. and many of
that kind of men with plenty of that
kind of money are actively engaged
in efforts TO prevent Pensacola's in
ertia winning the coverted prize over
their unremitting activity
Interest in Rip Van Wrinkle was
heightened after he had awakened
from his long sleep and history is
reputed to sometimes repeat itself.
We love old Pensacola and some of
our most valued friends are there.
There il no place on earth in which
the writer feels a deeper interest IN
its future, than the Deep Water city,
and he writes only to invite attention
to conditions that must be met and
counteracted or else surrendered to.
We have warned, now beware.

devoted unreservedly his time, ener-
Sy, talent and means TO an unSuccess-
full attempt to municipalize the street
railways.
Mr.. Johnson was pioneer in
street railway construction, develop
nent and consolidation. He was past
master in the arts and crafts OF trac-
ton manipulation. With his re-
sources, his experience, mis- trained
capacity, had he chosen to work for
himself instead of the public; to in
crease instead of diminishing the bur-
dens of the people; to scheme, plot.
bride and squeeze instead of striving
to reduce fares and profits, he might
have accumulated a colossal fortune.
He might hav acquired palaces in
stead of exchanging a mansion for a
cottage; he might nave had a garage
full of automobiles instead of being
compelled 10 sacrifice the one motor
car he owns
1t is not necessary to approve May
or JOhnson's economic theories or
vagaries i'll order to recognize in his
devotion TO his public an admirable
spirit Whether right or wrong in his
specific objects and methods, he has
elevated the standard of public Ser
vice, and has made a signal contribu-
ton to its annals.
