ELECTION OF OFFICERS
PENSACOLA REALTY CO.

At a called meeting of the directors
of the Pensacola Realty Co. yester-
day, the resignation of Mr.. G. E. Dob
son as secretary and treasurer was
received and accepted, and Mr.. Jno. i.
Scott was elected to this Office thus
vacated.
The Pensacola Realty Co. regrets
very much the necessity Of accepting
Mr.. Dobson's resignation. but other
business requiring all of Mr.. DobsOn's
time made it necessary.
Mr.. Scott is a new man in Peusa-
cola, but an old hand at the real es-
tate business, and is very enthusiastic
over the prospects OF Pensacola as
evidenced by the immense amount CT
work going on here now, municipal,
county and private buildings and i'm
pTOVementS going on or projected on
every side.
Mr. w B. Withers, the president of
the Pensacola Realty Co., retains mis-
position and will continue in future
as in the past to be a booster for
Pensacola.

Inspector Jordan On
Benzoate of Soda.

Editor Adrian Jordan, OF The Punta
Gorda Herald, who is also the capable
food inspector Of the state of Florida,
speaks out very clearly his opinion
about benzoate of soda. The propriety
of using this chemical as a food pre-
server has been widely agitated of
late and the stand taken by the gov
eminent in declaring its use harm
less has been contradicted by many
men familiar with the action of drugs.
And these contradictions have led TO
acrimonious debate. Inspector Jordan
says:
Any prepared food product that
needs a chemical pTeservatiye. except
salt, should be taken out into the back
yard and buried. Excuse us from eat
ing anything containing benZOate OF
soda, notwithstanding the favorable
vote of those agricultural chemists in
Denver. If a little benzOate is harm
less, so is a nttle stryChnine, and we
don't care to be restrained from eat
ing a plenty of anything by the fear
Of getting an overdose of benzoate.
A large part of our population who
give any thought at all to the ques-
tion-and il is important, because it
relates to the public health-wil he
inclined to agree with FIOrida's in
spector. And it must be borne in

against the contingency Of the Roose-
welt not coming down from the north
in the summer of 1909, in which event
he would be obliged to remain in the
arctic for two years, MI Whitney
made arrangements for a ship to
come up for him this summer.

gard to this relief ship" Commander
Peary continued, Il was informed by
Whitney and Norton that the general
proposal was that Norton should get
up another party of spOTtsmen and
that this party, who were to be Whit
ney's friends or relatives, should

when the Roosevelt was sighted by
Eskimos at Etah, August II last
Whitney started out at once in a sail
boat for the Roosevelt under the i'm
preston that she was his ship.
"As a matter Of fact, the party Of
spOTtsmen did not materialize, bit

rival, Whitney was transferred from
the Roosevelt to the Jeanne and he is
now probably engaged in hunting
bear somewhere on the west side OF
Baffin Bay or Davis Strait"
Asked if DR.. Cook was aware that
Whitney expected a ship and what
his reasons could be for not return
ing to the United states on that yes
sci, if he wanted to go back, Con-
mander PeaTy said he did not know.
He explained that Whitney might
have expected his ship at Etah about
August ;. If the Jeanne had returned
at once after taking Whitney on
board, the commander continued, she
could have reached Sydney August 10
or 20 last.
Asked how Dr. Cook had made his
way from Etah to South Greenland,
Commander Peary replied that he

mind that many of the agricultural

opposed to the use of benzoate of
soda, spoke out to that effect in pub

The Policies Announced By
New York Democrats.

To The Ocala Banner we are in
debted for the following synopsis of
the resolutions adopted at the recent
meeting of New York democrats at
Saratoga to reorganize and revitalize
their party In that state:
Tariff for revenue only.
Federal income tax.
Election Of United States senators
by direct vote of the people.
Taxation OF corporations by states
alone.
Give I'D the Philippines and imper-
ialism.
Primary and ballot reforms.
Home rule, and local self govern
ment.
Opposition to extension OF federal
power at expense of states
Rigid governmental economy.
Enforcement of antitrust laws.
No interference with individual lib
erty.
1t may be that one or two Of these
policies-such as the abandonment Of
the Philippines-may be regarded by
some democrats as impracticable, but,
on the whole, their soundness is SELF
evident and in general accord with
the Denver national platform OF 1905
If the democracy OF New York Will
stick to these policies, or most Of
them, will labor for them and for the
candidates who represent them and
lay aside internal dissensions when
party success calls loudly for unity.
it may recover some of the prestige
it once possessed but has certainly
lost during recent years by it's own
erratic and questionable behavior.

Steamer Republic Reported

ALL ARE SAVED BY WIRELESS
Aerial Messages Send Help to Scene
of Near-Disaster Which Occurs
When Great Craft Is Rammed
Among Nantucket Shoals.

Boston, Jan 25.-The White Star
steamer Republic, bound from New
York for the Mediterranean ocean
with passengers and crew numbering
about 761, was in collision with an I'M
known vessel, &c miles south of Nan
tucket Shoals lightship in a dense fog
Saturday, and SO badly damaged that
she was reported sinking. The pas
sengers and crew were believed to be
all saved.
Wireless messages promptly start
ed, announcing the accident, picked up
by other vessels at sea and by land
stations, brought quick response and
soon craft of various descriptions were
speeding to the relief of the disabled
steamship.
None Lost, Wires Captain.
The White Star Steamship Company
was at first advised of the collision
by Capt. Sealby of the Republic in a
wireless dispatch which said that no
lives had been lost, and that his ship
was able to keep afioat although her
boiler room was full of water.
Subsequent messages, however, in
dictated that the Republic was in dan
ger of sinking and that another vessel
believed to be the steamer Florida
bound from Italian ports for New
York, had come up with her and took
off her passengers and crew
No CIew to Other Ship.
Meanwhile the French line steamer
La Lorraine which had been reached
by wireless was searching for the Re
public in fog, and the steamer Bal
tic was 40 miles away, but Fastening
to the Republics assistance. So far as
could be learned the ship which strucl
the Republic faded away almost i'm
mediately in the fog and there wa.
no chance to learn her identity or he
damage.
A report from Vineyard Haven
Mass. said that the Republic an
nounced by wireless that she could re
main afioat but two hours longer. A
that time all the passengers and three
quarters of the crew had been trans
/ ferred to the Florida and the balance
afterward abandoned the ship.
Recalls Bursoyne Disaster.
1t is believed here by mariners
4 from the report of the captain, tina
! the Republic would probably be towe'
back to New York for repairs by tn
Lorraine or the Baltic.
