The police have begun TO clear up the

Twelve hours a day will be the length Of

close OF the fall festivities. Two shifts in
stead Of three will be maintained, thereby
increasing to a great extent the efficiency
of the police force while the crowds are

is occasioned by the fact that the force
is considerably smaller now than at the

WHY THE COMPANIES co OUT
Not Up to Minimum, is Explanation
Of storch's Action.
TWO OF OLDEST MILITIA BODIES
Disappointment Expressed I'm Oman
Over the BriGadier Generals Or
der I'm CuttInE Bows the
National Guard.

Company L. First infantry, and Company
q. Second infantry. the two Omaha com
panies OF the Nebraska National Guard
which Brigadler General Storch Of the
Guard says ought to be mustered out OF
the service, are the two oldest companies
in the states militia Both have seen war
service. both have, in their time. ranked
the highest In the state, and both have
taken prizes at national tournaments.
The recommendation Of the brigadier
general that the two companies be mus
tered out OF the service came as a
"thunderbolt from a clear sky" as the
officers or men of the companies claim
they did not know anything was the matter.
Captain Sterricker OF G says he knew
Compan L was to be mustered out, but
that he had no idea his own company was
on the blacklist. Captain Elsasser OF L
did not know that either company was In
danger.
Company L is known as the Thurston
Rifles and Company @ as the Omaha
Guards. Company 1, the Dahlman Rifles,
Captain wig in command, is not censured
by the brigadier general. though this com
pany is the detachment accused Of killing
a farmers COW while in camp at Ashland.
Not UD to Number.
While the captains of the two black
listed companies both said they had not
the slightest idea Of what is the matter,
Colonel A. d. Fetterman, inspector gen.
eraL, says he believes the trouble lie that
the enrolment in the two companies IS
not even up to the minimum. The mini
mum Is forty-five and the maximum is
sixty-five, but the persistent demands of
local fraternal insurance companies for
well drilled men has cut down the size
of the military companies. Also It has
been hard to keep the men together when
ever-increaslnR rents have forced them to
take unsuitable rooms for armories.
Captain sterricker talked to Adjutant
General Hardigan over the long-distance
telephone and the adjutant general told
him the whole trouble was that the en-
rollment OF the companies is too small
and that the brigsdler general does not be-
lieve the state should be compelled to pay
for the support of small companies.
Get your enrolment up to the mini
mum and above II possible and everything
win be all right the adjutant general
told me-" said Captain sterricker.
There are not a half dozen companies
in the state with enrolment up to the
minimum" declared Captain sterricker
while Captain Blsasser thought the briga'
der general ought to take into consider
alton the past record Of the censored mil
itary organizations.

pines and Company @ started for Cuba n

OUR WEALTH IN FARM ANIMALS

For those who, either In exultation
or sorrow. have insisted that the auto
mobile was destined 20 put the horse
out Of business, there Is some infoTma-
tiOn Of real interest I'm a bulletin just
issued by the Bureau OF Statistics Of
the Department Of Agriculture. The
figures presented In that document
show not only that the horse has not
been abolished. but that he Is an item
OF steadily increasing importance I'm
the economy OF animal industry.
Il appears. for instance, that the
horse population Of the United States
on Jan. !. 1909. numbered 2O.eiO.OO
valued az Sl.974,O52. 900. These figures
represent an increase OF CAS-. 900 In the
number and SiO6.522.OOO In the value
at American horses since Jan. !. 1905.
Il will be observed that. instead OF be
ing oxterminated by self-propelled We
hicles. the horse Is still In active busi-
ness and on an increasing scale. A
curious fact derived from other
sources. Is that IN New York, Chicago
and other cities where automobile
are used most extensively. the horse
population Is constantly growing

SURPRISING INFORMATION.
TAMPA Trlbunel

That The Tribune has not been
without reason In making diligent In
quiries ooncernlng the PROCEEDINGS OF
the Internal Improvement Board
under the former administration o.
disclosed IN somewhat startling style
in a special dispatch from Tallahas-
see 90 The Pensacola Journal in which
the surprising statement Il made that
the compensation OF W. 3. Jennings,
who has been General Counsel for
the board during the Broward regime.
was $4,000 IN 1907 and 1880 plus
expenses in 1908.
That few people in this State have
had the slightest idea that any such
sum was being paid any Official OF
the State government goes without
saying. Much criticism was INDUCED
In throughout the State when Il was
stated that Jennings was receiving a
salary OF $1,000 a year as General
Counsel for the Internal Improve
ment Board and this fact was dis
cussed generally on the stump In the
recent and In previous political cam
paigns. furnishing ready-made ma
terial for the opponents Of the Brow
ard administration and causing a veri-
table storm Of protest whenever Il
was annOunced-but that this $1,000
grew TO $4,000 in 1907 and to S17,6OO,
plus expenses. in 1908, almost passes
belief and cannot help but produce in
the minds Of the taxpayers the Inn
preston that the half has not been
told" about the doings Of the past
four years az Tallahassee.
The special which conveys this In
telligence 20 readers of The Pensacola
Journal also states that, on motion Of
Acknowledgement Park NJ. TTammell,
the Office held by Mr.. Jennings has
been abolished and the duties Of the
Office assumed by the AttOrney-Gen-
eral without additional compensation.
II is furthermore stated that Messrs.
Groom and McIln disapprOyed the ac-
ton OF the board I'm displacing Mr..
Jennings, but that Governor Gilchrist
insisted that the records show that Mr..
Jennings service terminated Decem-
Der 81. 1905. and IL was so ordered.
That this attorney received compen
satiOn more than three times greater
than any other official of this State.
and his expenses in addition. compen-
sation which would be considered eX-
cessive IL paid to the very ablest law
yer In Florida for similar services. Is
a revelation which will doubtless add
to the Statewide disfavOr In which
the former administration Is held;
and IL will be certainly an occasion
for the people Of Florida to thank
their lucky stars that the ballots Of
the Democracy brought about a time
ly change.
The Tribune well remembers how
Frank Clark. In a speech on the
drainage proposition, fairly reveled
In his finest satire In discussing how
the State was "buncOed" when II paid
w. s. Jennings 5000 a year: but
what would not Frank Clark have said
about a S17.6OO plus expenses salary?
He would have been stricken speech
less for once in his life.
The Tribune cOngratulates the
State that the board, as now cOnsti-
tuted, has put an end TO this sort OF
and especially that Il Is
bringing out these facts for public I'm
