platform. They are divided on the
subject, SO it is said, but most OF them
are Of the opinion that the question
should be ignored in the platform and
that no mention should be made of it
at all 1t is pointed out that this
course would leave it open to the legis-
lature to do what 1t pleased with the
local option law next winter.
Word comes from Washington. too,
that the democratic congressman from
Indiana are divided on the subject of
Governor Marshall's plan for the NOM
ination of United States senator by
the state convention. 1t is said thar
only one member Of the delegation is
in favor of the plan, and that is Con-
gresham Moss. of the Fifth district.
All the others are opposed to ii. SO 1t
is said Just what effect this may
have on the action of the convention is
not known. but the congressman are
generally men of influence in their
conventions, and if.they undertake to
knock the governors plan. 1t will prob.
ably get some hard raps.
They Are Not Talking.
The democratic congressman are not
saying anything on that subject for
publication, but it is said that most
of them feel that it was unfortunate
that Governor Marshall should brine
that issue into the fight at this time
That is about as far as any of them
go in discussing it.
The subcommittee of the democrat
lie state committee, consisting of Peter
Foley, of the Fifth district, Charles
Murphy of the Tenth. and Peter kruye,
of the Thirteenth, will meet in this
city tomorrow to complete the details
of the arrangements for the democrat
ic state convention. 1t is said to bt
the plan now to have Governor Mar
shall for temporary chairman. in order
that he may make the keynote speech
and that Senator Shively will be thu
permanent chairman. However. there
has been no definite announcement o
the arrangement.

Want Law Wiped Out.

Then there is another element in the
democratic lineup that is in favor OF
wiping out the county option law and
passing a new law that will give local
option to townships and wards. with a
lot of restrictions and regulations
which they believe will be better than
the provisions of the present law.
With all OF these conflicting views
and ideas existing among the demo-
Gratis it is easy to see that they are go

NEGRO WOMAN
IS FIGHTING
FOR HER LIFE
MARY HARRIS, WHO WAS SHOT,
THROUGH BODY FRIDAY NIGHT
RY HER HUSBAND, JOE HARRIS,
STILL SURVIVES, ALTHOUGH
DEATH is EXPECTED HOURLY.

In the face of predictions by her
physicians of death Friday night.
Mary Harris, who was shot by her
husband in the late afternoon Of that
day, still survives. The woman is
putting up a remarkable fight for her
life and is manifesting a remarkably
strong constitution. She received a
pistol bullet in her body, entering
from the rear, directly over the let
kidney and passing clear through her
body, lodging beneath the skin in
front.
Following the shooting, the wo.
mans physician predicted death with
In the next few hours at least. But
the woman survived the night and
yesterday and may now have d
chance for ultimate recovery. In the
meantime her husband is still held in
the city Jail, awaiting developments
in his wife's condition. The shooting
occurred when, 1t Is said, Harris
found another negro in his wife's
~"~pany at their home on Eighth ave

AGED NEGRO IS
MISSING, FOUL
P[AYPROBABLE
MYERS MALLORY MISS
ING FROM EAST HILL HOME
SINCE FRIDAY MoINiNG-Po.
LICE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN
SEARCH FOR HIM.

"Uncle" Myers Mallory, an aged and
respected colored man, is missing
from his home at the corner of
Sixth avenue and Seventeenth street
The police have thus far been unsuc-
cessful in their efforts to unravel the
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of the aged man. He was last
seen Thursday night, when relative,
William Jackson, escorted him to his
home. which he occupied alone The
door to his humble home was found
open on the following morning and in
It or near 1t Uncle" Myers could not
be found. Foul play may have over
taken the negro, but II such is the
explanation Of his mysterious disap-
pearance, the murderers were success
full In covering up their tracks.
Uncle Myers was over foEr-sccre
years of age. He was Well-Enown in
Pensacola. being at one time a ser.
want in the family Of the late Senator
Mallory and a descendant of the ne
gro slaves of that old family. For a
Eumber OF months, 1t Is said, the cd
man has shown mental deficiencies
and while at no time has he been
violent, he has not been at his right
mind. Thus it is believed by some
that an illusion of weak mind may
have led him into some unfreQuented
refuge.
Wednesday night Uncle Myers
appeared at the home of Jackson on
Sixth avenue. very lightly clad and
carrying a lighted lamp. He was
taken in for the night. and on the
following day expressed desire to re.
turn to his own home and. was escort
ed there. He has never been seen
again.
Following his disappearance. police
headquarters were notified and Patrol
man Reed was assigned tc the case
His search for the missing man, how
ever, disclosed nothing and the old
mans whereabouts row are unknown

LARGE NUMBER OF ARRESTS
MADE THROUGHOUT DAY AND

AT PRINCIPAL CORNERS TO
HANDLE TRAFFIC ALSO.

Yesterday was a busy day with the
police But not in the history Of Pen
sacola, perhaps. was Christmas ever
celebrated with less real trouble. AL
though the volume OF arrests was
large. the day and night passed eScep-
tionally free from more serious
troubles. Therefore those to face the
recorder Monday will be charged with
drunkenness or similar offenses. How
ever, one arrest, that of Dennis Nor
ris, cc'ored, was made On charge Of
carrying concealed weapons. The ne
gro was taken into custody on Pala-
fox street by Officer Parnell. Floyd
Williams also colored, was arrested
by Officer Milford, charged with the
theft OF a pair of shoes, and P. NJ.
Ectur, another negro, was arrested by
Officer Hall, charged with stealing a
shirt.
Chief Sanders doubled the force Of
policemen on Palafox street. The
crowds surging up and down the street.
presented a real traffic difficulty. but
the local police handled it with re-
markable skill and success and Chief
Sanders was complimented for this
result On all sides last night.
