Department of Justice Attor-
ney Also Had a Hand in
Bringing Up Case.
COMMERCE COMMITS
SION DID NOT TAKE UP MATTER
ON ANY SPECIFIC COMPLAINT
FROM A PENSACOLA SHIPPER,
BUT GOVERNMENT MEN WORK
UP THE CASE.

When the Associated Press dispatch
from Washington was read In me
journal yesterday morning giving the
news that the Interstate Commerce
Commission had proceeded against the
Louisville & Nashville and Gulf Tran
sit Co. for alleged discrimination
against shippf/s, there was much con-
lecture as to what shipping firm in
Pensacola had brought the complaint.
For obvious reasons no shippers in
Pensacola brought the complaint be-
fore the commission.
On the other hand government
secret service men did the work. Two
or more of them were here, it was
stated yesterday, about four months
ago, and when they looked into the
dock situation as it exists here, and
learned that not any and every steam
er can take cargo from. the L. & N.
docks, Immediately saw an oppor-
tunity of enlightening the members OF
the interstate commerce commission.
HEARD THE TESTIMONY.
These men, it is said, also happened
back in the city when the proceedings
brought by the Florida railroad COM
mission against the Louisville & Nash
vile were heard in the United States
court, and there they heard officials On
the stand declare the docks here were
a part of the Pensacola division, were
constructed as a part of that division
and the cost of operation and main
tenance charged against that division.
The Gulf Transit Co. never figured in
the proceedings here.
This gave the secret service men
about all the Information they wanted,
and they hiked it back to Washington.
AN ATTORNEY COMES.
The next move on the part of the
government was about ten days ago,
when special attorney of the depart.
ment of justice appeared in the city.
He carried bundles of reports, papers,
etc, presumed to be those made by
the secret service men. He remained
in the city few days, butleft without
dropping an intimation as TO his bust
ness here. But, it is understood that
he got what he. came here for, suffi
cient evidence to convict the two com
panies of discriminating against
steamship companies in the operation
s.e--a--~.--l-zrx5. -
fAll of this evidence will be laid be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion when the L. & n. and Gulf Tran
sit Co. file their statements, for which
they have been given thirty days.

tism and darling pains, inflamed or
swollen eyelids, irritability. sleepless-
ness, or suppressed, painful or fire.

and other distress, leaving after TAX
ing the first few doses.
The moment you suspect any kid
ney or urinary disorder, or rheuma-
tism, begin taking this harmless prep
artion as directed, with the knowledge
that there is no other medicine, at any
price, made anywhere else in the
world, which will effect so thorough
and prompt cure as fifty-cent treat
ment of Pape's Diuretic, which any
druggist can supply.

or any mercantile agency will tell you
that Pape, Thompson & Pape, of Gin
cinnati, is large and responsible
medicine concern, thoroughly worthy
of your confidence.
Don't be miserable or worried an
other moment with a lame back OF
clogged, inactive kidneys or bladder
misery. All this goes after you start
taking Pape's Diuretic, and in few
days you feel and know that your kid
neys, liver and urinary system are

TEN BLOCKS OF
BRICK PAVING
AUTHORIZED
TWO READINGS OF PAVING MEAS
URE LAST NIGHT ORDERED AND
VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS.

At a special meeting of the city
council, called for 1870 o'clock last
night, ordinance No. 143, which pro-
vides for the additional street paving,
was passed without a dissenting vote.
The ordinance was amended twice be-
fore it was finally voted to pass it.
The first amendment was offered by
Alderman Kugleman, who had insert
ed the aggregate sum of $4,000 to pay
for the. work from the bond moneys
and public revenues, and the second
amendment was offered to do all the
work with brick, cutting out the sec
ton providing for the use of the creo-
soted wood block on the portion of
Baylen and Wright streets which
were to be paved under the new ordi-
nance. This makes the use of brick
in section of the city where wood
block is made use of entirely under
the contract which has just been
closed.
The president of the council, Mr.
Greenhut, called the body to order on
time, and those responding to roll call
We're: Aldermen Concannon, Durham
Kent, Kugleman, RocheblaTe, Rem
shaw, Welsh and Williams. Alderman
lMoyer came in later and voted to pass
the ordinance.
At the conclusion of this business,
Alderman Williams offered a resolu-
ton providing for the payment of the
paving contractors for all work ac-
cepted, even to the 20 per cent. which
had been held back through observ-
ance of contract stipulations. The
resolution sought to authorize the
bond trustees to pay this money i'm
mediately upon the acceptance Of the
work, but President Greenhut said
that the meeting Of the council had
been called for another and a specific
object and he could not entertain it at
last nights session. The declaration
of the president brought forth a mo.
ton to adjourn.
Under the terms of the ordinance as
passed last night, the bond trustees
are authorized to enter into a contract
with the Southern Paving and Con-
struction Company for the pavement
with brick of that portion Of Baylen
street from the north side of Garden
street to the south side of Gregory
street; that portion OF Wright street
from the west side OF Palafox street to
the west side of Baylen street; that
portion of North Palafox street east of
r. E. Lee square between Gadsden and
| Jackson streets; and that portion of
Jackson street from the east side Of
Palafox street to the east side of Gull
| leonardo street. The contract also
will provide for the paving of Tara
COMA street from the south side of
Gregory street to the south side of
Zarragossa street, this being part of
the contract which may not be done
right away because of the railroad
track-bed changes which are to be
made there. 1t was reported to the
board of works, and later reported to
the council, that the railroad company
could not get its structural steel here
for some weeks yet, and that after it
arrived 1t would mean about three
weeks before the paving could be
done. The contract may be SO framed

THE GOVERNOR
HERE. GUEST OF
THE F|RE,MEN
HON. A. w. GILcHRIsT AND CON-
GRESHAM D. H. MAYS WILL At
TEND PICNIC AT PALMETTO
BEACH AND SPEAK TO CROWD.

Governor Albert w. Gilchrist and
Congressman D. H. Mays arrived On
the 9:45 o'clock train last night and at
the depot were met by committee
from the Volunteer Veteran Firemen's
Association in automobiles and escort
ed to the San Carlos, where the gov
ernor was assigned the best rooms in
the house, a compliment from Manager
Hervey. Congressman Mays is at the
same place.
Today Governor Gilchrist will ride
in the parade, and in the automobile
to be occupied by the states chief
executive will be Congressman Mays
and Mayor Frank Reilly. This ar
rangement was concluded last night
after the governor reached here.
At Palmetto Beach this afternoon,
Governor Gilchrist will deliver an ad-
dress, and will be the honor guest dur
ing the day at the annual outing of the
veteran firemen- Mr.. Mays may also
deliver an address, although that was
not definitely decided last night.
Governor Gilchrist was very tired
when he reached the hotel last night
and sought his assigned room soon af-
SCI 11S SApCSUS, uoNCfCI,
to put in a strenuous day with the fire
men today at the beach, and will prob
ably remain over until Wednesday af-
ternoon, as sleeper service is daily
feature of the outgoing train at 5
o'clock
Many friends of the governor are in
Pensacola, and some of them sought
to have a talk and welcome him last
night, but he had retired and was not
disturbed. This is his first visit since
the completion Of the new hotel, and
he was naturally very much impressed
with the place, and was also overjoyed
that the city had a hostelry which
was a distinct credit to any city.

CONF|SCATED
SMACK NOW IN
QUARANTINE
PENSACOLA FISHING VESSEL
WHICH WAS HELD BY MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT, ARRIVES AT HER
HOME PORT.

After a trip of about two weeks, the
fishing schooner Caldwell H. Colt, the
property of the Warren Fish Company,
arrived in the bay Sunday morning
and as the vessel comes from the
tropical country, a trip to quarantine
was made. The vessel sailed up to
the station and may be detained there
for several days, although an effort
will be made to have the vessel re-
leased at the earliest possible moment.
Because Of being in quarantine. there
has been no manner of ascertaining
just what condition the vessel is in,
but II is believed that there will be no
damages found, and the smack will be
ready to make a trip to the banks
within few days.
The Caldwell H. Colt is the vessel
confiscated. by the Mexican govern
ment on the allegation that fishing was
being done inside of prohibited area.
This was several months ago. The
vessel was only lately released, and
Immediately upon crew being Sc
cured, started for Pensacola and when
she comes up to the city will be an
object of considerable interest on ac-
count Of the tribulations through
which she has passed during the three
months just passed.
