Chamber of Commerce Makes Issue With Methodist Church--Legfs- lature Will Take a Vote
 Tomorrow.

Pensacola, Fla, April 2o.--(SpeciaL) --Prohibitionists and anti-prohibition- ists are looking forward with interest to the action of the Florida Legisla- ture of Thursday, when that body votes on the resqlution calling for an amend ment to the Constitution for Statewide prohibition. and this interest has been added to greatly by the firm stand ta- ken by the Chamber of Commerce In passing resolutions requesting the representatives from this county to vote against the resolution. giving as its reasons that to call for 6 vote on such an amendment would mean prac- tically a campaign of two years. It cannot be voted on until November. 1910 and this will greatly disturb bus mess conditions.
 the Gadsden Street Methodist Church, the only church in the city. to enter the fight so far as isssienown. The church declares for the Ashepdrnent and says that the disturbed business conditions are not to be compared with the moral aspect of the situation.
 What stand the two representatives ar.d Senator from this district will take Is not known. The two representatives were elected on a strictly prohibition platform. while the Senator has made speeches in favor of prohibition. The question of putting the matter up to the voters, however, is somewhat diff ferent thar a local option fight.
 Several prominent prohibitionists in a local fight have announced them selves as opposed to a vote on state wide prohibition and for this reason the vote was so large in the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. They declare that 1t will bring the negro vote into A campaiRn which should he settled in each County irrespective oi what those of another county may de- l sire.
 Should the issue come to a vote it ii very likely that 1t would be defeated so far as this section of the State ii concerned, due largely to this senti' ment.

It was expiained that this action was not taken be- cause of any particularly alarming news that had been received. but simp- Y as q precautionary measure. 1t be- ing deemed wise in the present emerg- ency to have suitable American naval representation in or near the disturb ed districts. The moral effect of the presence of American war vessels will be very beneficial it Is pointed out.
 The sQuadron' will consist of the armored cruisers North Carolina and Montana, now at GuantanamQ, Cuba. under command of Captains Marshall and Reynolds. respectively. Their in- mediate objective point will be Alex andretta, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, which is in close proximity to Tarsus and Adana. where serious trouble has occurred. From Alexand- retta the marines on the vessel may be available for any active work in assisting Americans in trouble in the surrounding districts. Captain Marshall who will be in command of the squad ron. will report to the American con sul at Alexandretta for any services that he may be called upon to perform. The vessels also will be available for dispatch to other places in Turkish waters should condition make their presence necessary. The vessels will stop at Gibraltar for instructions. Ii is hoped at the State Department that the ituation will be well under con- rO1 nF the TaYr1rfsh aNtfhnrfftao soon and that there will be no neces- sity for any naval demonstration.

EAT HORSES THE DEMAND.

The day of the thin-neshed horse Is
passed. Strange, yet true, high
priced feeds have brought an in
creased demand for higher condi-
TONED animals of all kinds. The
poor, old COW is not much in demand,
fresh beef and fat beef is what the
beef eater asks for regardless of price.
The canned beef is not the thing with
the common people or the uncommon.
The same is true with mutton and
pork eaters; everybody wants high
conditioned, 1eshy animals.
The poor old horse and thin young
horse is Disseminated against in the
market until the horse dealer has be-
come horse conditioner, or more
properly speaking, there has been cre-
ated through this demand for flesh a
new middle man whose business is
buying up the out-of-condition horse
and putting him in the feed lot,
where a bunch of his kind are con-
gregated to be fed out, fattened like
lot of steers for the fat market, ex-
cept the fat horse goes to the city
horse market to be sold and put into
team work on the streets.
The heavy draft horse made fat is
in demand, and If in matched teams
brings the top prices in the market.
Fine, stylish, big horses, of course,
mean much more than merely fat
horses, but this excellent quality of
horse to sell for the highest price
must be in high flesh. A fat horse
always looks good, especially to the
man who knows little or nothing
about horse, no matter what his
imperfections may be. This is where
the old saying originated, no doubt,
"A high condition of flesh covers up
many defects"
1t is now customary among profess
sional horse raisers and dealers to
grow and put flesh on the colt just as
rapidly as he can stand it. The soon
er he attains horse size the sooner he
is marketable and the more money
he makes his producer. The stock
