Pensacola. Fla. Dec. 2s.---(Special. b. One hundred arrests was the record of the Pensacola police department for Christmas and last night, and only those were taken into custody who made 1t absolutely necessary.
 Many who had imbibed too freely and had fallen by the wayside were picked up by officers and sent towards their homes. while others on the prin- cipal thoroughfares in partially drunken state were ordered to take less freauented thoroughfares and get home. %
 Ordinarily they would have been arr rested. As is usual. foreigners from ships in port contributed largely to the, number of arrests. while negroes formed fully two-thirds of the de- fendants who will come before the Re- corder tomorrow. While 100 arrests were made not serious difficulty of any kind occurred.
 Just about midnight the officers were given false alarm and all rushed .o police headquarters when, through an error. a riot call was sounded instead of a fire alarm. which had been sent in.
 Dispenses With Pilot.
 Arriving up on the bar after night AoAi anu Ahhtn8 tO foi6ht a Phtot VI ~ cure one. the master of the German steamer Henry Horn last night piloted his vessel through the channel and came up the bay. dropping anchor at a point off the docks, thus being the first steam vessel of large tonnage to come Into this port after nightfall without a pilot.
 While sailing vessels and some steamers have come into port at day light without pilots. none have ever attempted to do so after nightfall. but the master of the Henry Horn. while never beforesat this port. knew by his charts of certain depth of water on the bar, and being in hurry to get into port. decided that he would act as pilot and performed a feat that even some of the regular bar pilots would hesitate at attempting. for pilots, as a rule, do not take any chances with vessels after nightfall.

SAYS NEW YORK is IAWLESS

The sweeping charge that Ameri-
cans, as people, want to be lawless,
and do not care to know the real
truth while engaged in the mad rush
to acquire wealth and maintain So
cial position, while large majority
of New Workers depend on the theater
or the streets for their only intellect
ual nourishment, was made Sunday
morning by DR.. Hugh Birckhead, rec
tor of st. Georges Episcopal church,
in Stuyvesant square, of which J. P.
Morgan is one of the vestrymer.
Mr. Morgan was in the congrega-
ton, and heard the sermon, as did
also Mayor Low, both of whom as
sisted in taking up the morning col
lection.
Life as it is lived in New York
City is responsible for this state Of
AFFAIRS said DR.. Birckhead, 'ahd
we are all in it; God help us!
Il choose New York City," said the
doctor, because it represents Ameri
ca and the trend OF American civiliz-
alton. 1t is the forefront of our prog
ress; nine-tenthS of the people in
New York state live in cities, and 4
host of those still living in the cOuI
try look forward 10 living i'm the city
ultimately.
Last week he head of great
university, and himself great man,
took occasion to address d large a.;-
semblage on the lawlessness of the
American people. Why should this
be necessary? The truth is we wans
to be lawless. Life in New York
City has become a mad rush even -
keep where we are, and to maintain
the position and the social circle we
have chosen. You all remember the
mad rush of Alice across the chess
board only to find herself where she
started from. We must rush madly
to stay even where we are. There Is
no time to be alone and no time for
| home. New York Times.

CAPT. EVANS ON FREE BRIDGE.

CAPI. EVANS IN EhEh BhlDUE.
According to G. I. Evans, an old
river captain and pioneer of Wenat-
chez, who is at the Hotel Stevens.
the people of the valley will insist
upon the next legislature buying the
highway bridge across the Columbia
river, at Wenatchee and making it
link in the state highway that is
being built across Washington, says
the Seattle acknowledgements.
The bridge is the only one across
the columbia river in its entire
length, and was built by the Wenat-
|chee Land Company and the Great
Northern railway. Part OF the cost
of construction was paid by bonus
of $4,000 raised by the people of
the red apple town. Wenatchee peo-
pie are willing to forego the return
of their money if the state buys the
bridge. The only difficulties in clos
ing the transaction, according to
Captain Evans, are the demands liza
BILE to be made by the canal COM
pany, which siphons water for irriga-
ton bitches over the bridge.
The structure has already raised
the price of Wenatchee lands and
has been instrumental in opening
several thousand acres of wheat land
lying along the Douglas county side
of the river, below Wenatchee. Most
of the land not under the nighttime
ditch may be irrigated by pumping
plants, and it is expected that the
number of settlers that will locate on
lands across from Wenatchee in the
next few years will make free
bridge a necessity. II
