TENlVESSEESCLAM
BEING CONSIDERED
WANTS PAY FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FOR RAILROADS
THAT WERE DESTROYED DUR
ING THE CIVIL WAR.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Nov 17.-The long
pending claim Of the state of Ten
nessee for railroads destroyed by the
federal government during the civil
war was taken up at a. conference at
the treasury department today.
John J. Vertrees. E. B. Stahlman, OF
Nashville, Dabney NJ. Scales, of Mem
phis. and John NJ. Hickey, OF Wash
ington, appeared to represent the
state. Secretary Macveagh. Secre-
tary Dickinson and Attorney General
Wickersham represented the govern.
ment under an act Of congress Of 1899
which authorized those officers to sit
as a commission for the adjustment of
the claim.
The treasury is now holding about
500 900 in bonds of the state of Ten.
nessee which were issued before and
after the war. There is no question
Of their validity and the treasury has
been trying to force their payment.
The commissioners for the state
however. interposed counter claims OF
an equal amount for railroads de.
stroyed by the federal government.
Before the war Tennessee had made
loans to railroads under construction
and took liens upon them as security.
It is claimed the government destroy
ed the state security and should re.
imburse it.
The conference today was cut short
to allow the three cabinet officers to
inquire what their predecessors in OF.
nee had done IN the matter.

"Pensacola's future Is particularly
bright and promising" said Congress
man J. Hampton Moore, OF Philadel
phia, who is president of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterway Association, just
before his departure yesterday for
New Orleans, where he goes to look
into the matter of the proposed Pana-
ma exposition. But he continued,
there are some things which Pensa-
cola must do to enable the city to
keep in the forefront Among the
most important of these is the matter
of terminals. The city must better
equip herself in this respect and must
have better docking facilities than
now possessed in order to attract an
increased volume of export and i'm
port trade"
For these reasons, Congressman
Moore said, the city should take q
deep interest in the inland waterway
movement for the construction OF a
canal across Florida and to the Mis-
sissippi. This would prove one Of the
greatest blessings to the city. Much
of the products of the south for ex-
port trade of such a nature, he said,
that they do not demand quick trans
port, thus allowing for the inland wa

profits and greater volume of bust

The city is badly in need now, he
said, Of better docking facilities. The
water front Of the city. which was
thoroughly inspected by the distin-
gnished visitor, he pronounced in very
poor condition.

Pensacola, he thought, should turn

ing of these defects and thereby pro-
cure better docking facilities and ter
minals more in keeping with the city's
growth Pensacola must bring about
these improvements if she. Is to be
prepared to meet the growth and OK
pansion which will necessarily result
with the opening of the Panama
canal.
II speaking Of the proposed estab-
lishment of the gulf naval base at the
Pensacola navy yard, Congressman
Moore expressed it as his opinion
that this afforded the best location Of
any gulf tarbor he knew of.
While he did ont commit himself as
being officially in favor of the estab-
lishment of the base here, he said that
he saw no reason why the government
should not establish one here.
Congressman Moore said that on
his present trip he was seeking in
formation and also to assist in the in
land waterway. He represents the
