SLIGHT DAMAGE
IN PENSACOLA

High winds were experienced in
Pensacola last night, and as a result
some damage was done to vessels in
the harbOr, especially TO those mOored
alongside of wharVes. The tide of
last night was the highest known here
since the hurricane of 1906. Along the
bay shore it reached to the yards of
residences, and at the city wharves it
almost covered them.
Storm warning signals were dis
played yesterday morning by the local
weather office, and in the afternoon
a strong wind came from the south
west, which increased during the
early portion of the night. Shortly
after Z o'clock it had reached velOc-
ity of 81 miles an hour. and about 10
O'clock had increased to possibly As
miles an hour.
The fishing vessels of z. z. Saun-
ders & Co. suffered some damage by
tossing and striking against the pill
ing of the wharf. The Priscilla re-
ceived much damage, tearing away
the rails, which caught on the piling
when she fell back after being tossed
up by the waves.
The feet of the Warren Fish COM
pany suffered no damage. so far as
could be learned last night neither
did any of the vessels in the harbor.
1t is expected. however. that a num-
Der of small vessels were carried
ashore by the strong winds.
Telegraph and telephone commupi-
cation was cut off for a number of
hours. The loDgdistance telephone
wires were put out Of commission dur.
ing the early part OF the night. and
the Western Union wires followed
shortly afterwards, excepting the
Jacksonv lie wire. Fourteen of the To-
cal phones were put out of service
during the night.

NEGROES WIN IN
SUPREME COURT
Special to The :ourna,.

Springfield. H.. April y4AAfter 20
years of litigation. the supreme court
has finally disposed of the Alton case
by the most drastic action recorded
in its history. DisreGarding the &C
ton of seven juries which refused to
enforce the law against the separation
of white and negro school children,
the court took the matter into it's own
hands, declared the Alton authorities
were not. entitled to trial by jury any,
way, and gave judgment for the ne
groeS.
The litigation began years ago when
Alton estah ished separate schools for
negroes and Scott Bibb refused to
send his children to them.
The late Senator John NJ Palmer
was his counsel, and he fought for the
entry of the negro Oh ldren to the
regular schools until his death.
