SAILORS ARRESTED
BLUE JACKETS AROUSED sUSPT.
 CTONS OF MOUNTED OFFICERS.
Tell Peculiar Story of Being Part eR the YaDkee Crew and That They Are on Their. Way t@
 Pensacola.

Two sailors of the U. s. Navy. sup posed to be. deserters, were arrested yesterday by Policemen Jackson and Wilkinson. The officers, mounted men, were riding near the Bell Street bridge and saw two sailors who were evident ly watching them. Had the bluejaek. cts kept quiet they might have gone free, but when the eyes of the police. men fell on them they jumped up and, according to their training, headed for water, the nearest being the Alabama River. The officers, being mounted. quickly overlook the fugitives and brought them in to the station house.
 They told a rather mixed and pecu- liar story at police headquarters, say ing they were part of the crew of the Yankee, which was disabled near Bos- ton recently. and that they were on furIough to visit the Pensacola navy yard. Being questioned further, sep arate1y, one stated that the furIough was for fourteen days, the other said for fifteen.
 The circumstances were so suspicious that the police have decided to hold them until the authorities of the navy can be communicated with. The men gave their names as Charles Smith and William Clark.

TALLADEGA INTERESTED
 IN MONTGOMERY PAVING

Mayor s. c. Oliver. of Taiiadega, is facing a proposition that gave Mont Somery some worry recently and has written Mayor Teague for infOrEflation about how the matter was handled here. Taliadega Is dsep in the throes of paving and the people there want to pave the streets, where the govern ment and county buildings are situa- fed, but they want the government and the county authorities to help with the expense.
 When Montgomery was paving the streets in the vicinity of the postoffce and the county court house and JaiI' the City Council asked them to give a financial helping hand. The govern ment, knowing the property could not be condemned for not paying, refused to pay anything on the paving ai- though, according to the city law, the property owners on streets being paved were assessed alike. Just what the county will do remains to be seen, for as yet they have not come across with the cash although the matter has been hanging fire for some time
 This was the gist of the gratifying information Mayor Teague sent to Ta1ladega.
 The government is a little too big to be treated like an ordinary prop erty holder and the county Is still holding out.

 PENSACOLA.
Belonged te . Gang That staae From Churches ana Residences In Eebise and Osher
 Places.

Pensacola, Fla, Feb 12--(Special. 1-- After much questioning by the police. a straight confession was secured this morning from W. l.. Jones, one of the three men under arrest on the charge of robbing churches in this city, and in this confession. he amended his state meuts of last night and told straight story regarding the operations of hs and his two friends, whom he said are ". J. Shes and J. L.. Ray.
 Jones claims that up to . year ago, he was employed in the soda water factory of Ralph H0lberg in Mobile. and that a few months ago he met Shea and Ray and they decided to cease work and live easy. Their operations commenced in New Orleans and they worked towns from there to Mobile.
 In Mobile they, started on the Catho- lie churches, but not getting good re- suits. they entered residences with bet. ter success, for they secured consider able money and much jewelry.
 He said he remembered distinctly four residences which were entered and in nearly every one they secured either watches or stick pins.
 At first he claimed that the 3swelry was taken from the Cathedral in Mo bile. but admitted that such was not the case this morning, and said that # came from residences.
 When asked regarding the revoiverS he said that all three had gone armed. but that finding a couple of revotvers in houses in Mobile, appropriated them.
 eve were not looking for trouble when we robbed houses. said Jones 'sbut we went armed and did not pro. pose to be put to any trouble or run any danger of being shot if our guns would do any goed. When the police grabbed us yeeterday they caught all of us unnwares. The cops had their guns and had them ready, while ours vveye stored away. That's enc of the reasons why we are 'c0oped' today
 Jones said that from Pensacola they intended going to Jacksonville an0 from fhere to Southern Florida.

 Mobile. Feb. 12.-(Special. )--With the departure for the Flat Top Mines this morning of Leonard Rhone. a negro, who will serve forty years for an as- sault. every man connected with the county jail breathed a sigh of relief for since the negro's incarceration he has given the jail officials much trou- ble. and twice instfgated jail deliveries which, both times. came near ending disastrously.
 Rhone. 1t will be recalled. over year ago entered a Chinese laundry on up- per Dauphin Street for the purpose of robbery He was confronted by one of the Chinamen. whom he tried to kill, using a hatchet and almost eut~ ting the Chinaman's head off. He was convicted at the last term of the City Court and has remained In jail eVer since, pending an appeal which was taken to the Supreme Court by his at torney.
 During his incarceration the negro, fin addition to being a most sullen and disrespectful prisoner. promoted two jail deliveries, each of whom were dis covered just in time to prevent the es- cape of several desperate prisoners.
 In both cases he engineered the scheme and when discovered the last time he admitted that in the event the deputies had crossed their paths as they were attempting to escape they would have killed them. Substantial ing this boast the negroes were all armed with pieces of the boards which they had sawed from their cells.
 A few days ago the Supreme Court rendered A decision affirming the City Court decision here sentencing Rhone to q hard labor term for forty years. This morning State Penitentiary Agent B. NJ; Travis arrived in the city for RhOne.
