Jno. II. Collins. sheriff Of Santa
Rosa county, was indicted by the
grand jury of the United States court
yesterday, the charge against hin,
being conspiracy TO deprive a citizen
of the rights guaranteed to him under
the constitution of the United States.
This indictment was among those Re
turned by the jury when it filed into
court yesterday after concluding it's
investigation, presented its final re-
port and was dismissed for the term.
Sheriff Collins in the indictment is
alleged to have forcibly retained a
prisoner, without the proper requisi.
ton papers, and then turned him over
to Sheriff Field of, Georgia, who ex-
tradited him, removing him from this
state to Georgia, where he was want
ed on some charge.
Sheriff Collins was arrested shortly
afterwards and given preliminary
hearing, being held to the grand jury.
He gave new bond yesterday for
his appearance when the case is
called. It is not probable that it will
be heard at this term of court.
The prosecution is the first of its
kind ever brought in federal court,
and has attracted much interest, espe-
cially among attorneys, and the final
decision will be looked forward to
with interest.

the Pensacola Interstate Fair. IN
its present state, was highly com
mended officially by the board of dl-
rectorS in a session OF that body on
the grounds yesterday afternoon. The
program included a tour of inspection
and at it's conclusion the board Off
cially and individually had the highest
words Of praise for the work of Man
ager II. W. Storrs and his assist
ants.
But one problem, of more or less
serious proportions. presents itself to
the board. That arises from the some
what limited water supply. Thou
sands of gallons of water will be
needed for the manufacture Of gas for
Nassr's airship, by Speedy. the nigh
diver" and for the large tank, used in
the diving girls" show and for ordi-
nary purposes.
There are already several wells on
the grounds working all the time but
the supply from this source is even
inadequate and it is either necessary
to sink more wells or to arrange TO
haul large supplies of the precious
fluid from the nearest water plug
As the latter plan appears imprac'
ticable, more wells will probably be
sunk.
This question was thoroughly
| threshed out at yesterday afternoons
session of the board.
| FAIR COMMENDED.
!. The meeting was called as q ina
one, for the directors and officials tt

General Hitchcock's plan requesting
magazines to pay increased postage
on advertising pages sufficient to
eliminate the postage deficit and war;
rant one cent postage on first-class
mail was offlcia!ly explained today.
He believes that any increases In
rates for carrying reading matter
would place. a special burden upon
many second-class publications, such
as religious and educational periodic
ais. which aid SO much in the educa.
tiOnal and moral advancement of peo.
pie.
Mr.. Hitchcock says he thinks if
the magazines can be required to pay
what 1t costs the government to carry
their advertising pages, one cent post
age on flrst-class matter will be war
ranted and that the whole people will
enjoy the benefit of considerable
portion Of the postal revenue now
enjoyed by certain publishers.
