Pensacola and Pensacolans turned
themselves loose in this years cele-
bration of Independence DAY, a gen.
eral holiday having been decided upon
as if by mutual consent. The crown
ing feature of the many celebrations,
however, and the one in which rec
ord breaking crowds took part, was
the picnic given by the Knights or
Columbus at Palmetto Beach. In
the early part OF the afternoon crowds
of people began to move to that most
delightful of pleasure resorts, and by
8 o'clock the transportation people
estimated that fully $500 to 5000
persons had been handled. A line
service was rendered, a 45-minuCS
schedule having been maintained
throughout the afternoon hours from
each end oe the electric line. II was
easily the largest and best-behayed
crowd that has yet patronized like
outings on the electric line.
The knights of Columbus had a
competent committee in charge OF
every detail Of the days doings. I'm
der the different committees things
went merrily. Ticket statesmen were
ready to serve patrons in the city and
on trains. This was one Of the do
lightful evidences of forethought on
the part of somebody, for II diSpens-
ed to a great degree with the crush OF
getting tickets at the gate, Patrons
were admitted hastily, safely and
without any trouble.
THE BASEBALL GAME.
T The leading feature possibly IN the
days ever.5 was the game OF base
ball for q tat purse played by picked
teams from Pensacola and Fort Bar
rancas. The score was II to In
favor OF the city team. It is certain
that this game was witnessed by the
largest crowd OF any played at Pal
metto Beach in many a season.
A list of sports of other kinds was
also pulled off, to the delight and
amusement of hundreds of people.
While the knights were directly
and chiefly in charge of every detail.
the young men constituting the Pal
metto Beach amusement association
provided and supervised practically
everything, and 1t was to the credit or
these young men that things went
along so smoothly and nicely. Con-
cessions and amusements we're given
and selected with care, and pleased
even the most exacting. The moving

it is not likely that anything will be-
accomplished at the extra session

in the near future will be in the in

such a thing can possible be brought

will be directed toward the election
of men who are in favor of modii-

probably for all the other offices, who
are known to be in favor o. local OPP

Portland. Aug. 1S.-The American Association of Agricultural colleges and experiment stations go down to business with celerity this morning and disposed of routine matters quickly. President M. A. Scovall of Lexington, Ky, is i'll at his home and Vice President W. NJ. Kerr, of CorvaI- lis, Ore, presided. In place of Presi- dent Scovalls annual address which was to be the feature of the morning session, Director A. c. True of Wash ington, D. C., delivered 3n address on the development of agricultural edu- cation in Secondary Schools" making his address a preface to his report as chairman of the executive committed
 The report favors agricultural train ing, rural high schools and the estab- lishment in each state of limited number of secondary schools. making a speciality of agricultural subjects. Dr. J. l.. Snyder of Michigan object ed to the adoption of the report. de- claring that secondary schools are a snare and a delusion and have proved a failure where they have been tried. The delegates however voted to adopt the report of Director True. The af- ternoOn session was given over to sectional meetings

EVEN ENEMIES OF PINCHOT
Joined in Loud Endorse ment of Chief Forester's s Notions of Conservation W Which He Regarded as a Business Policy.

Denver. Aug. 1S.-Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the United States department of agriculture and Thomas F. Walsh, the millionaire mine owner, exchanged bon mots today before the trans Mississippi congress and as a concluding note in the harmony of the session the delegates wound up Pin chot's address with a round of ap- plause that shook the auditorium. The so-called "enemies of Pinchot, said they were satisfied with the conser- vation ideas of the speaker and join ed in the cheering as Justify as did the adherents of the chief forester.
 Mir. Walsh, in presenting MT. Pin chot. referred to the latter as d pa triotic young American who, rich in his own right, is devoting himself to the service of his country, and whose mistakes, if there are any, are those of the head and not of the haert.
 In return Pinchot spoke of the mine magnate as "a soldier for the common good" and wished for more of his kind and in this mood the congress listened with evident satisfaction. Mir. Pinchots address dwelt on conserva- ti0n as practical business policy. He said the loss or injury of one great staple will not only injure that par ticular business, but will strike at the heart of many allied interests. He paid his compliments to former Pres ident Roosevelt.
 
 John w. Noble. former secretary of interior also spoke on conservation. There was no session of the congress this afternoon owing to the general acceptance of an invitation by Mir Walsh, president of the congress to the delegates to attend a reception at Woolhurst. the home of Walsh.

JUDGE LINDSEY
Though the Victim an Off cial of the Association Protests; His Tormentor Is Encouraged to Proceed With the Punishment.

Seattle, Aug. 1S-The congress of the American Prison association today elected the following officers: Presi- dent, Ames W. Butler of Indianapolis; vice presidents, Jas. A. Leonard of
 Mansfield, ohio, Rev. D. Reed Imbrie of Hoboken. Pa, Demetrio Castillo of Havana, Lieutenant Colonel A. G. Ir- vine of Stony Mountain, Canada, Rob ert Ladow of Washington, D. C.; gen eral secretary, Joseph P. Byers of Randalls Island, N. Y; financial sec retary, H. H. Shirer of Columbus. Ohio; treasurer, Frederick H. Mills of New York Judge Richard R. Lancis of Havana was appointed member of the committee on criminal law re- form.
 A sensational incident of the morn ing session was a tongue flashing ad- ministered to Frederick II. Mills of New York. prison labor commissioner of that state, by a woman. In a morning paper Mills made an attack on Judge Lindsey of Denver. and all his ideas as to the treatment of pris- oners. This morning Miss May Krue- ger, secretary of the Seattle Humane society. a young woman with an as tonishing command of language and lightning speed in talking. rose to de- fend Judge Lindsey. who is absent from the city. She began an onslaught on Mills that brought him to his feet with protest against Miss Krueger Rev James c. Reid of Walla Walla moved that she be per mitted to continue. and the congress, with one shout, told her to go on. She resumed, facing Mills and speak ing with greater severity.
 Refreshed by their visit to Tacoma and their participation in clam feast there, the delegates to the con gress resumed their discussions to- night in the Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium. The report of the committee on crim- inal law reform, of which oscar J. Cushing of San Francisco is chair man, was read. It says in part: Nothing in the administration of the criminal law is so impressive as swiftness and certainty. Consequently nothing so discredits it in the mind of the public as a lame and halting pro cedure in the trial courts, the dis a agreements of juries. and delays and reversals for apparently technical req sons on appeal.
 Such things weaken public con- in the administration of law sheriffs, the police and officers and encourage criminals and increase crime. One of the worst features of the situation is that though reasonable swiftness and punishment is fairly certain, when man with means to employ able cOun- seI is brought before the courts and his trial is beset with delays, the jury is apt to disagree and if a conviction is secured, is likely to be set aside on appeal"

 Closer and Closer.

Boston. Aug. 1S-General Tasker H. Bliss and his invading army of Red" rested tonight at least five miles nearer Boston than they were twenty-four hours ago. as a result of today's operations in the war game. The extreme left of the Massachusetts army of defense, known as the Blue" under the command of Brigadier Gen eral Wm. A. Pew, was hammered un- mercifully, so that the entire left wing was. forced to retreat. The Blue" army also suffered the loss of one hatterr and wagon train.
 Far superior in actual numbers and in cavalery, the Red force swept down upon the Blues" '" left and drove them first into one position and then another with irresistible force. For the last three days General Bliss moved his army in three divisions, massed with the full strength of his cavalry on his left flank. The work of the cavalry arm was most brilliant and of untold assistance. From the beginning of the war" at o'clock Sunday morning, Red troops cav airy have practically done all the fighting for General Bliss, and it was only in the last hour of tOday's bat tle'' that the infantry's strength of the Red" army was ordered into ac- tion

CHINESE AMERICAN
 NO LONGER CITIZEN
Though He Will Become a Pensioner
 of the United States.

San Francisco. Aug. 1S-Kwang Lee, a Chinese who held citizenship papers for thirty five years, was stripped of his adopted nationality to- day by the action of the United States district court, which cancelled his certificate of naturalization issued by the court of criminal correction in St. Louis in 1874. Lee is in all prob ability the only Chinese ever granted even for a time American citizenship through naturalization, as the su- preme court of the United States de- clared many years ago that immi- grants from the Celestial empire were not eligible to citizenship.
 Despite the fact that he is now de- nied by his adopted country, Kwang Lee, who is @ years old, is likely to become one of its dependents. for he served honOrably as an enlisted man in the United States navy during the Civil war, and his body bears scars of five wounds received while fighting on a Mississippi gunbOat.
 Because of his age, he is now en- titled to a pension of s2O month for his services. and he has declared that he will apply for it at once. The can cellation of Lees papers followed his attempt to register as voter at the primary election held yesterday. Last March Lees papers we're taken away by the immigration officials at No- gales, Arizona, but he procured oth- CTS by applying to the courts of St. Louis.
