 PENSACOLA Commercial Club Takes
 Action. AID FOR THE NAVY YARD Will Ask Representatives to Sup
 port Gulf City. President Ball Sends . Communication To Congressman Dent Asking Him to Render His Assist-
 ance In the Matter.

Notice was received at the Commer- cial Club yesterday that the business men of Pensacola desired the help of the Montgomery trade institution to held themto get the recently abandon ed navy yard back in operation again. to which work the Commercial Club will assist.
 But whether the Pensacola people will want this help long remains to be seen. for something far more val unable to the town. from business standpoint, Is in store for them. The representative of the Chicago finan- ciers. who are backing the Chicago. Pensacola and Pacific Railroad. now in course of formation. passed through Montgomery yesterday on his way tt' Pensacola to take a look at the navy yard with an eye to leasing or buying it from the government as terminal for the railroad.
 As the business of the railroad will depend almost entirely OR it's trade with the Orient. the road must have Il maratime town for a terminal, and the town must have a drydock to accom- modate the boats that may have suf- tered damage on the trip across the Pacific Ocean or in the Gulf The gov- ernment abandoning the Pensacola Navy Yard is considered by the pro- motors of the railroad as God send. | for they have a ready-to-use and con- piete plant for naval repairs to be used at once. provided its construction | Is suitable.
 Actual work on the new railroad which now has its right-of-way com plete, will not be started until the Panama Canal Is a more assured fact than 1t is at present, but the belief Is SO strong that the canal will event
 uallv he completed, that the railroad is
 going to considerable expense to havo all in readiness for quick touch with the situation.
 It was said by Pensacola man in Montgomery recently that real estate in that city has jumped almost to double its former value.

TRIUMPHS OF
 BITULITHIC
COMMENDATORY sTATEMENTa FROM WELL KNOWN AU-
 THORITIES.
Extracts From Letter. and Testimoni- als Of Prominent OmcfalsN Of
 the Largest Cities Tn the United States.

An Excellent Pavement.
 "There is no doubt but that Bitulithic Is an excellent pavement. It has every indication of life and is satisfactory for the use horses and vehicles.- Major John Riddle. Corps of Engineerss U. s. A.
 Good For Horses.
 "The Warren Bituminous, Pavina Company has laid some Bitulithic pave- ments. It appears to be satisfactory pavement, not being 50 slippery as asphalt, and 1t affords good foothoio for horses."-C. H. Rust. City Engineer, Toronto, Ont.
 The Most Durable.
 "Bitulithic pavement. in my 5udg- ment, Is the most durable and attrac- tive of all the kinds we use. When torn LID. however, 1t can be repaired as good as new at a comparatively small cost."-B T. Kendall. City Engineer Baltimore. Mds
 Excellent, Attractive, Durable.
 "We consider that Bitulithic Is an excellent, attractive, noiseless and du- rable pavement; in fact the best pave ment this city has ever en5oyed.--J. K. Sullivan. Street Commissioner, New port, R. l.
 Even Horses Know It.
 "Since the Bitulithic pavement was laid in this city the drivers of fire ap- paratus invariably seek 1t in preference to any other pavement, as 1t does not appear to be slippery, and the horses them selves seem to know 1t, not being on the apparent strain while traveling over 1t that they are on brick and as- phalt block s."-Peter w. Hoy, Chief of Firy Department, Norristown. Pa.
 Most Durable.
 "I wish to state to you that Fulton county thought enough of the Bituiith- ic pavement to purchase a complete plant from the Warren Brothers Com pany, and 1t Is now in use. We have laid this pavement. and we are very much pleased with 1t. From many years' experience in road building am satisfied that Bitulithic is the most satisfactory and durable pavement now known."-Clifford L. Anderson, Chair man Public Works Committee, Board, of County Commissioners of Fulton County, Atlanta. Ga.
 Safe On Bitu1ithic. "In my opinion Bitulithic Is the best for automobiles. It has enough elas- ticity with smoothness, and is also rough enough to prevent skidding. always feel perfectly safe in running on wet Bitulithic pavement, which Is not the case of asphalt."-S. F. steere. Postmaster. Shreveport. La
 Oldest Need No Repairs.
 "None of the Bitulithic pavements in this city have required or received any repairs. The pavements have been through seven summers and are now entering on their seventh winter and give no indication of any deteriora- ton. ."-George A. Carpenter, City Engi- neer, Pawtucket, R. I.

similar ones, either in writing or YER

SUGGESTS Mr.. EDWARDS AS
SUCCESSOR TO HARPER

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23-[Editor
Herald: AS the recall Of the mayor Is
now assured, permit me to suggest that
the proper name to suggest as his sue
cessor is that of the honorable gentle
man who has indirectly been the cause
Of this recall. 1 refer to the man who
gave the duties Of his office such care
and performed them so satisfactorily
to the entire people that when his job
was turned over to Mr.. Kern it raised
howl all over the city. Let the people
examine together the records Of Mr..
Edwards, lately Of the board Of pub
lie works, and the mayor who seemed
not to appreciate his services as the
citizens did. Mr.. Edwards can afford
to enter such contest, as he has been
in the limelight during the same time
that Mayor Harper has, and the record
Of D. K. Edwards seems to demand
promotion. GRAEME.

PLOT TO STEAL
THE RIVER BED
FAMOUS INCIDENT IN CITYS
HISTORY RECALLED
PUBLIC OPINION ROUSED AT
LENGTH EFFECTIVELY
City Councils Effort, Backed by Kern
and Others, to Give Away Franz
chise, Frustrated by Pop
uIar Indignation

ID EFERENCE has been made so fire.
n, quently to the river bed franchise
during the recall proceedings
indignant protest that went up against
the appointment of Edward Kern to
the board of public works because Of
his part in that nefarious effort of the
council "to put one over" that many
persons who have established their res
idence in Los Angeles during the last
three years, and are entitled to vote at
the recall election, have asked what
this river bed franchise was.
No one who was a resident Of Los
Angeles in March, 1906, can ever forget
the river bed franchise. For months
little else was talked about. It was
made a local hit at the vaudeville
theaters, one burlesque house even pre-
senting a playlet travestying the coun-
Gil for its action. That the franchise
was revoked was one Of those rare in
stances in which public sentiment is
aroused to such a pitch that public
servants are forced to do the will of
the people.
1t was Monday, March 26, 1906. when
the matter first came before the council.
At that council meeting were Fred A
Ford, councilman from the First ward .
Percy V. Harmon, councilman from
the Second ward; S. w. Hitler. counciI-
man from the Third ward; DR.. A. n
Houghton, councilman from the Sixth
ward; Edward Kern, councilman from
the Seventh ward; Bernard HeaIv.
councilman from the Eighth ward. and
%: L. Blanchard, councilman from tho
Ninth ward. George A. Smith. coun-
Gilman from the Fifth ward. was out of
the city on leave of absence.
Theodore Summerland, councilman
from the Fourth ward, was acting
mayor pro tenn during the absence of
Mayor McAleer.
The franchise asked was for A rail
road to run through the Los Angeles
river bed from the southern limits of
the city to Also street It was in
timated at the time that this was
merely a suberfuge on the part of p.
w. Gilmore to secure control of all the
sand in the river bed for the benefit
of his contracting firm. This was dis
proved later, although Mr. Gilmore
probably would have had more or less
control of this sand if his scheme had
not failed.
Plans Kept Secret
Not an inkling concerning the fran
chise had been allowed to leak out to
the public. The petition for the fran
chise was not filed until 2:3O, when
the council was in session. This pc
tition was signed by E. w. Gilmore of
the contracting firm of Fairchild- Gill

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2S.-[Editor

have carefully watched your course
and that of The Herald in reference
to the municipal affairs of our be-
loved city, and you will pardon me for
saying that when you first impugned
the motives of the mayor I was rather
inclined against your course, but I have
taken the trouble to thoroughly inves-
tigate the conditions, and l was forced
to the conclusion that you advocated
the only proper course left the property
owners and the good people of our
city. I wish to say further that
now indorse your course in the matter
of the recall and give my support AMI
influence to the cause Of the recall and
The Herald to the finish, as 1 feel it
my moral duty as a citizen to enlist in
the cause of the right. Yours to the
finish,
