While the commencement of eacn
school year witnesses the appearance
at various schools of poor children
who, while anxious TO attend the
schools are unable TO do so on account
of having no books the present sea-
son finds many families who are un-
able to supply their children with
either books or clothing AID the de-,
nand for assistance has hecoMe
greater than known in many wears.
The local charitable Organizations.
which are appealed TO almost daily,
have no funds and cannot furnish
either books or clothing, and for this
reason The Journal. upon request,
issues an appeal TO the public for as
sistance. Subscriptions of money in
any amount will be received and used
in purchasing books for these poor chill
dren, who are being deprived Of an
education owing to their parents be-
ing unable to supply the books.
Donation of $1,000.
One donation of $1,000 was received
by The Journal last night, the gentle
man contributing the amount not de-
string his name to be published. This
heads the list and it is hoped that
others will follow with donations and
that Tuesday morning The Journal
will be able to report at least 500
for this worthy cause. Donations OF
any amount will be gladly received.
as it is known that many are not able
to make large donations. at the pres
ent time $500 would purchase suffi-
Gent books to place many poor chill
dren in the public schools, who are
now longing for an opportunity.
he
ton existed in Pensacola as that Of
today. 1t was during the life or tde
late Chas. j. Heinberg and that
worthy citizen appealed to the citi-
zens and succeeded In raising an
amount sufficient to purchase books
for those of the city's poor who
could not do so. Chas. J. Heinberg
is no longer lere to render assistance
to the poor, and while Supt. n. 3.
Cook has been supplying some by APP
pealing to his friends, still the de-
mand this year is so great that there
mush be assistance from others.
Will Buy Books.
Supt. Cook last night stated that
he would be glad to purchase. the
raise sufficient money Mr., Cook
will make an investigation of each
case, through some of the public
school teachers. and where the appli-
cant is found worthy of assistance
the books will be supplied.
1t is not the intention to publish
tae names Of those who are assisted,
as it would be embarrassing TO the
little poor children to go among 9th
er children who would know that they
were able to attend school only
through the Hberality OF the public
in donating.
It is hoped that the public viii
respond literally TO this appeal for
assistance.

HEIRESS' ALLOWANCE is >
CUT DOWN BY COURT
Miss Elizabeth Parker Hastings
Must Exist Hereafter on
$500 a Month

Miss Elizabeth Parker Hastings of
England, whose petition for restora-
ton to competency so that she may
manage her large estate in this city
occupied several days in Judge Gra-
hams court early in the year, must
get along on an allowance of $500 a
month for five or six months, instead
of the $500 she has hitherto been re-
ceiving. Judge Trout, sitting for
Judge Graham, made an order yester-
day reducing the allowance. This ac-
tion was taken upon the application of
Attorney l.. NJ. Hoef1er. guardian of the
estate of the young woman.
Hoefler, who has acted as guardian
since april z, 1907, supported his ap-
plication with an affidavit, setting
forth that there are not enough funds
on hand to meet expenses. The es-
tate is indebted in the sum of $4,000,
Hoefer says, of which $4,000 is un-
secured to the creditors. Among other
items of Indebtedness is a sum of
$76S.15, due as Miss Hastings share
of the cost of raising the sidewalk
adjacent to the property bounded by
East and Merchant streets.
There are no funds on hand to pay
this Indebtedness, Hoefler states, and
he is not able to borrow the money.
He therefore asked that until the un-
secured Indebtedness is paid or until
Miss Hastings source of income is
increased her allowance be reduced to
$500, an amount sufficient in his judg-
ment Ito enable her to enjoy every
comfort to which she is entitled in her
station in life

FOR FATAL SHOCK
CorOner's Jury Unable to Dis
cover Cause of Explosion
That Killed Five Persons

The coroner's jury in the case of the
victims of the explosion at Diamond
and Chenery streets last Monday morn
ing returned verdict last night to the
erect that death was caused by a fire
and explosion of unknown origin.
= r Johnson, who conducted the sa-
loon on the premises. testified that he
had no known enemies who would be
likely TO resort to explosives to do him
harm He had nos idea as to the cause
of the explosion. DIETRICH Dissmeyer.
husband of May Dissmeyer and father
OF Antoine Dissmeyer, who were killed,
told how he had been blown out of bed
and how he crawled from a mass of
debris and found his dying wife and
son some distance away.
Henry Horn, battalion fire chief who
supervised the extinguishing of the
fire. testified as TO scenting a strong
odor of gasoline. In response to a
question of one of the jurors as to his
he smelled Horn said: Yes, gasoline
has distinctive odor of it's own; the
odor of gasoline cannot be confused
with the odors of other oils"
The full verdict of the jury is as fol-
lows: we, the jury, find that death
was caused through a fire and explosion
of unknown origin. and we recommend
a further and more rigid investigation
of the cause of said fire and explosion -
The testimony of Battalion Chief
Horn has started Detectives Graham
and Fitzgerald, who have been handling
the case, to Investigate more thorough
ly the gasoline theory.
The funeral of Mrs. May Dissmeyer
and Antoine Dissmeyer was held yester-
day from the undertaking parlors of

FAIRGROUNDS BOARD HAS
TROUBLE OVER SECRETARY
E. {. Leff1ngweII Finds He Is
Disqualified, but Offers
Services for Present

around the unpaid services of Z. C.
LeinngWell secretary of the play
grounds commission, revolves an inter
eStlng controversy as TO whether that
body is a legal one and whether the
acts performed by il since January Of
this year are beyond the caviling Of
certain obstructionists.
LefflngweIl is secretary Of the board
Of education. He was appointed secre-
tary of the Fairgrounds commission
when that body went into office. His
compensation was fixed at $50 a month
lie never has drawn any of the money
and there is now $3.50 due him
There are three provisions of the
charter that make the controversy
particularly interesting and compl-
Gated. one reads that no municipal
employe may hold two positions under
the city government at the same time
Another says that no commission is
complete without a secretary and vet
another declares that nobody shall
work for the city government without
compensation.
If Lefingwell was never secretary
the commission has been incomplete
and all its actions, presumably, void.
Before drawing up a warrant for six
months salary Leffingwell explained
the tangle to Mayor Taylor yesterday
The mayor was perplexed. The secre-
tary. however, cleared the atmosphere
by volunteering his services until an
other person could be found for the
position.
City Architect Newton J. Tharp pre-
sented to the commission plans for the
bulkheading and building of retaining
walls on the North beach property. His
plans were accepted and call for the
expenditure of $15.0
The Mission Improvement clubs re-
ported that they had rented a number
Of Fairgrounds in the Mission district
and the commission will fence the
properties and provide them with
equipment This action was taken be-
cause Of the great number of boys ar
rested for playing in the streets and
doing damage to property.

COLONEL CLASHES
WITH SUPERIOR
BeIIinger COuntermands Order
issued by James B. Aleshire,
QuartermaSter General

Colonel John B. Bellinger, local su-
perintendent Of the army transport
service, stirred up a tempest yesterday
in the military teapot by treating with
what a well known vaudeville artist
used 10 call "spurnery and contemptu-
business" the wishes of General James
B. AIeshire, the Quartermaster general
Of the army and Bellinger's direct sJs-
perior
The army transport Logan is out of
commission and was turned over TO the
Union iron works yesterday for ex-
tensive repairs. 1t is customary in
the merchant marine for the master
and chief engineer to be kept by a
ship under these circumstances to su-
perintend the repairs in their respect
i've departments. Captain Stinson,
master OF the Logan, was detached
some time ago and the vessel has been
lying in the stream in charge of the
mate, chief engineer and a skeleton
crew. General Aleshire, finding the
Logan without a master and realizing
the Importance OF having competent
supervision OF repairs, selected Cap
tain J. NJ. Healy for the job and ap-
pointed him to fill the vacancy. Bel
nnger had other plans, but a coloneTs
ideas must melt before generals or
ders, and Healy came out from Wash
lngton and reported for duty
He had hardly unpacked his valise
when the colonel dropped the bomb
that started the storm Aleshfre. as
the quartermaster general, has the
power to hire, but Bellinger. in his own
bailiwick, has the power to FIRE, and
Yesterday he issued an order laying of
the entire deck force OF the Logan, in
cluding Captain Healy, on the ground
that sailors, not being mechanics,
know nothing of repair work. and
would only be in the way. OF the
Logan's crew he retained only two en-
gineer officers.
Captain Healy has telegraphed his
troubles TO General Aleshire, and army
of1cers say that Aleshire will prob
ably order his reinstatement
The repairs to the Logan will cost
about S3Oo,000, and in making them 1t
VIII be necessary TO tear out a lot of
new work that was done less than a
year ago at a cost of 100000.
