leans, they merely made the natural
and pardonable mistake that law
yerS sometimes make. of not knowing
the basic strength of the possible Op-
position, and it never occurred TO
them that anything soldier than local
self-iDterest could be the basis of OPP
position to their contentious. They
fully believe that the safety of the
gulf and the Mississippi valley de-
ponds on a naval station and a navy
yard at New Orleans. Just as l did
until l saw Pensacola in 1894 and
became a champion. of the Pensacola
navy yard for the sake of the whole
South, though l was then in the very
heart of New Orleans newspaper
work. If the government finally de-
cides in the interest of economy to
concentrate naval protection at one
Gulf point, then there will be a bat
tie royal between Pensacola and New
Orleans, but our Secretaries associa-
ton is not the place TO wage that
fight, since every member of it should
be untrammeled by any utterance o.
the association if it should become his
duty to lead his home organization in
an issue involving the whole South
and the whole nation. When the mat
tel was presented in this light, TreZ-
evant and Herring gracefully acqui-
esced in the heavily dominant senti-
ment of the convention"

After the convention Mr.. Water

gave The Journal an interesting in
terview, which, with other subjects

thoroughly alive farmers of Santa

CAUSE OF DISTURBANCE ON
STREET WHICH LOOKED VERY
THREATENING AT ONE TIME IN
GAME. ~

Charged with "disorderly conduct,
which embraces a good many onensCs,
Elias Adams, a negro, was arrested on
Palafox street about 10 o'clock last
night. Adams had been drinking, the
police station reported, but was not
drunk, and knew what he was doing.
Adams walked into a store last
night and bought pair OF shoes. As
an outcome of the trade, it was as
serted, the negro became angry and
left the store. He did not go far, but
walked several times back and foree
in front, using abusive and obscene
language, the police were told The
outburst was directed at one time to
one of the clerks personally and it
was more than he could submit to, so
he went for the black. The latter
started to chase away, but was nabbed
by an officer and taken into custody.
A crowd gathered at once and il look
ed bad for the black when the report
started that bad language had been
Intentionally made use Of in the pres
ence OF white ladies' The crowd
simply wanted to see, however, that
he did not escape arrest.
Adams will face trial Monday.

CAUGHT IN 4
COLLAPSE, TWO
WERE INJURED
scAFFoLD WORK ABOUT KEYsER
RESIDENCE WAS TILTED. FALL:
; ING OVER ON WoRKMEN AND
, PRODUCING SERIOUS RESULTS.

Frank Gilbert. white. a carpenter
by trade and occupation, sustained a
severe fracture of his leg. and Will
lam Harris, a negro Iaborer, was
probably fatally injured in what was
reported to be a collapse of Scafold-
ing which had been built around the
handsome Keyser residence, near
Palmetto Beach, yesterday morning
at 11:15 o'clock. At the hospital last
night Harris was reported to be in a
very dangerous condition, while an
uEconfirmed report had it that an op-
Grafton would be necessary to save
Cilbert's leg. The two were brought
to the city Immediately after being
injured and the best of treatment was
given them. The nature of GiIbert's
wound, fracture at the ankle, cou-
pied with other injuries. made him
suffer much pain before medical at
tention could be given him.
Contrary to a widely circulated re-
port last night, the scaffolding proper
did not fall. On the contrary. an eX-
animation soon after developed the
fact that this work was thoroughly
intact. and what caused the injuries
was a heavy deal which is said to
have been handled rather carelessIy
by a young workman there 1t was
declared that the deal had been NOV
ed and one end fell short of a sup
port on which il had rested This
deal fell downward. catching in It's
descent the two unfortunate work
men named above. Others hurried
30 their assistance and extricated
them. Il was then found that Har-
ris was the more seriously injured of
the two, the deal having caught him
on the back right at the base of the
neck. He was unconscious when
picked up. The first car brought them
TO the city.
