LUsTY CALLS FOR HELP BY THE

WoULD-5E HIGHWAYMEN FLED
INTO DARKNESS.

An attempt TO hold up and rob three
seamcn from the British steamer Tam
pican, loading cargo at Tarragona
wharf was made last night about 9
O'Clock by unknown men, who were
armed with knives, and who were
frightened away by the lusty calls for
help by the sailors.
The three sailors were coming from
their ship TO the city and when a little
north of the grain elevator were ac-
costed by the unknown men, who
shielded their faces by holding their
arms up, at the same time flashing
their knives and calling upon the men
to hold UP their hands. The wells
emitted by the frightened seamen were
heard even as far as the police station,
and Captain Simpson. with Omcers
Ray and Schmitz, responded quickly
being Joined by officer Dole and Dep
uty Sheriff Cusachs. But their SER
vices were not needed. The would be
highwaymen knew that such yens
could be heard for a long distance and
they fled into the darkness and were
soon lost to view.

FINE CROPS
SAYS CREARY
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER SAYS
CROPS OF THE COUNTRY WERE
NEVER IN FINER CONDITION.
MANY NEW SETTLERS COMING
IN

]. w. Creary, of Bluff Springs, mem
Der Of the school board. was in Pensa-
cola yesterday. Mr.. Creary says he
had just returned from a visit to the
towns of Walnut Hill, Oak Grove and
Wardville. and that he found crop con-
ditions in better shape for this sea-
son of the year than ever before.
These communities are building up
RAPIDLY" said Mr.. Creary in talking
with a Journal representative. "Peo-
pie are coming so fast that school
buildings are either too small or in
some places there are not enough
schools. Land values are increasing,
too. I know of one place that recently
sold for more than five thousand dol
lars that could have been bought three
or four years ago for 1000 or $500"
In answer to the question as to
whether the people of that part Of
the county were taking any interest
in the coming fair. Mr.. Creary said
that there was a great deal Of interest
and that the farmers were awaiting
the announcement of the Commercial
Association a to the arrangements
for the county exhibit. He said he
felt confident that the people of his
community would take off some of the
prizes.

It is true that in some Of the larger
towns, the long terms convicts are
housed in permanent quarters. For in

county of Decatur, there are no such

such in said county. In the city Of
Waycross there are such permanent
quarters. Wherever there are such
permanent quarters, my impression is
that the convicts fare as we'll as they
fare under the present lease system Of
Florida.
From a humanitarian point Of view
7 consider the present lease system Of
Florida as being in advance of the
present Georgia system. Under the
present lease system in Florida, every
convict has a comfortable iron bed,
comfortable springs and mattresses
and other comforts. Bathing facilities
are provided; their diet is provided for
by contract; the hours of work are
fixed and they can at least be COM

THE ARCHITECT
GETS $500 PER
MONTH SALARY
BECAME KNOWN AT MEETING OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HELD
LAST NIGHT THAT EOARD HAD
AT A PREVIOUS SPECIAL MEET
ING ADOPTED A RESOLUTION
ALLOWING L, r. BENZ THIS
AMOUNT.

It became known at the meeting the
county commissioners held last night
that al a previous special meeting the
board had allowed L. R. Benz, archi-
tect for the new tail building a salary
of 5000 per month, beginning about the
middle Of last April and TO continue
until the Jail building is completed.
This matter was brought up some
time ago, but was not acted upon until
recently. The original request of the
architect was for a salary OF $3.50 per
month in addition to his commission on
all extras which are put into the CON
struction Of the building. However,
the 5000 allowed him by the recent ac-
ton of the board will be his only COM
pensatiOn as he will not he allowed any
commission on future extras.
Already Drawn About 5000.
At the time this request was first
made, which was several weeks ago.
lit was shown that the architect had
already received about $500 as com
missions. but he claimed that delays
for which he was not responsible had
made him several months longer in
finishing the Job than he had based his
calculations on at the time that he aC-
Cepted the position Of architect. At
the time of the request he had already
drawn practically all of his commits
siOns except what might arise in the
way Of extras in the future, and ho
claimed that if the work had not been
delayed he would have been through
with the building by the time that the
request for the extra salary was made.
Soon after the architect made this
| request Of the board a special meeting
was called for the purpose Of ascer-
| tanning who was to blame for the de-
| lays in the work, and the investigation
| which followed revealed the fact that
the whole affair was in a very COmpli-
/ Gated condition. One discovery which
was made was that the former hoard
| of commissioners, who made the trade
with the architect, had no contraCt
with him, and 1t appeared as though
] in case his request was denied he
! could throw up the work at any time il
1 he saw fit.

of the great state of Florida You
state "Expedtency against the great
moral wrong involved in farming out

that the question of slavery rent al
most in twain the two sections of this
country for nearly three-quarters of
a century, finally eliminating in the
great four years war of secession. NY
recollection is that human beings"
were not only farmed out. but were
absolutely sold, and for no fault Of
their own. I rather think that those
convicted for crime can be "farmed
out" for four years longer by the peo-
pie Of one of these Southern States

into Mysteries.
see that your governor has recon-
mended the creation Of an audit de-
partment." Florida has had such de-
partment for number Of years He
also recommends that your state cleo
lions be held at the time of the ma
tional election, in November. We have
long since discarded the separate state
elections. He also speaks of the laws
delays, the granting of new trials, etc.
The legislature of Florida Of 1911 had
many such bills on this line under
consideration, passing at least one
very important measure.
Instead of trying to run the affairs
Of the state of Florida, you might get
my message to the last legislature and
have the Georgia legislature enact
every recommendation into law. I send
you a copy Of said message
While in Waycross. Ga, recently,
two very prominent citizens spoke of
the disgraceful and cruel treatment Of
the convicts. Each one of them told
me not to mention his name.
I will take the liberty of sending a
copy Of this communication to a few
newspapers in Florida and to about
two in Georgia, requesting them to
withhold the publication Of the same
for two or three days, pending publ
cation of the same by yourself.
Yours very truly,

PERMITS FOR
FLA. FOREST
SUPERVISOR Is AUTHORIZED TO
ISSUE PERMITS FOR "A CROPS
THIS YEAR, WHICH is MORE
THAN TOTAL NUMBER OF CROPS
ISSUED DURING TWO PRECED-
ING YEARS.

Forest Supervisor Eldridge, OF the
Florida forest, yesterday afternoon
stated to a Journal representative that
he had been authorized by the govern
ment to issue permits for fourteen
crops of turpentine this year. this
being the greatest number ever allowed
in this fore st. The greatest number
ever allowed in any previous year was
eight, and during the two years in
which this forest has been in operation
only twelve have been allowed in all
Mr.. Eldridge stated that the forest
could easily stand this amount this
year and still not be going too fast TO
keep up the sustained annual yield.
He further stated that this would be
pleasing news to the turpentine opera
tors who have been asking for more
permits than the government would
issue each year.
Mr.. EldridSe knows in general way
where these permits will be located
but when he and Turpentine Expert
Edmunds go over the forest about the
goth Of this month, they VIII go over
these areas and fix them exactly

ANT FIGHT is HoPELEssLY
LOST IN LOUISIANA
Rx Associated Press.

New Orleans, July 1.-THE fight
against the ant is hopelessly lost. The
pest has come to stay and the damage
it will do to agricultural interests is
beyond computation" So says Rev
Father Albert Biever, president Of Lo-
ycla College, recognized as one Of the
bets informed men in the south on ant
life, in a warning issued to agricul-
turists of Louisiana and Mississippi as
to growing sCourge Of ants.
Father Biever says that complaints
have been received from different parts
Of the state and that unless something
occurs to check the increase before the
end Of summer, vegetation Of all kinds
will suffer. He says in each colony OF
ants there are from sixty to more than
one hundred queens, each capable OF
laying about ten thousand eggs a
day.

TALES AROUSE
NEW YORK CITY
STORIES TOLD BY RECENTLY AR
RIVED IMMIGRANTS OF TREAT
MENT AT INFECTIOUS DISEASE
HOSPITALS, WHETHER TRUE OR
NOT, HAVE CREATED A STIR.
Special to The Jou=naT.

New York, July 11.-Whether based
of revenge for some fancied slight
there is no denying that the stories
by recently arrived immigrants de-
tanned by the port authorities at the
infectious disease hospitals on Swim
burne and Hoffman islands for obser-
walton, disclosed by the state investi-
cation Of the conditions existing there
has caused a big stir in the last week.
The testimony of some of the wit
nesses examined, to the effect that 1t
was the custom to wash sick babies in
the same tubs and with the same water
used in washing dead babies and that
children suffering from measles, scar
let fever ana smallpox were all kept in
the same wards, although denied by
those in charge of the health stations
on the islands, has made a deep i'm
preston.
All Of the patients on the two islands
were newly landed immigrants and
spoke no English. For the privilege of
accompanying their sick babies to the
hospital, several of the witnesses have
testified that they offered their labor
free to the authorities and scrubbed the
floors of the various buildings from 6
in the morning until at night. All
they got for this was a glimpse of
their little one for a few minutes once
a day. In a number of cases the I'M
fortunate women declared their babies
had died while they were at work.
When they sought permission to see
their dead, they said they were told
that the body had already been re-
moved from the island to the place of
interment- Other witnesses charged the
nurses and physicians with being neg
lectful and Indifferent of their wards.
Many Of the stories recited concerning
the treatment of the poor immigrants
have been of a most pathetic charac-
ter and have greatly moved the city,
which now looks for a big house
cleaning on the port health reserva-
ton.
