they do out of doors, nevertheless 1t
will be possible to get a good line on
the eligible Olympic timber when the
December events take place.
There will be probably the greatest
list Of athletes competing that ever en-
tered one meet indoors.
In the sprint races there are three
men entered who may be members Of
the Olympic team. They are Alvah
Meyer. Bobby Cloughen and Jim r.
Senberger Of the Irish-Americans. All
of these on a good outdoor track have
done the hundred as fast as ten sec
onds. 1t will be a great three cornered
tilt when they pound their way toward
the tape.
\ remarkable array is entered in the
middle distance contests. Jim McEn-
tee of the West Side Young Mems
Christian association, New York, is eX-
pected to show his best form. He is n
wonder on board track and may take
the measure of Harry Gissing, Fricli
and Bergman of the New Yorks, Bor,
land and Terwilliger of the Pastimes
and Jim Rosenberger of the Irish
Americans. If Peerless MeP' Shep-
pard IS allowed to compete he will, of
course, be the favorite in these events
but his recent dshonorable discharge
from the Twenty-second regiment is
likely to cause his disqualification by
the Amateur Athletic union, and it is
even possible that he may be forbid
den to represent America in the Olym
pic contests at Sweden.
George Bonhag having retired from
the game, it seems certain that the
races over mile will be easy fol
Frank Kramer Of the Long Island Ath
Ietic club and John DAILY of the Irish
| Americans, with Louis Scott of the
New Yorks as the dark horse.
The Eller brothers, Jack and Bob, OF
the lrish-Americans, seem to have the
hurdles between them. In the jumps
and pole vaults there are such stars as
| Oler, Jennings. Grumpelt, Fielding
| Porter. Ewry, Aherne and Platt Ad
| ans. all of the New York A. G. The
Mercury foot club seems to have {
corner" on the good jumping ma
terial. Each one Of them is an Olym
pic possibility. The weight events will
call out men the caliber Of McGrath
Sheridan. Duncan. Mcdonald, Walsh
Elliott and Bredd, all strong nominees
for the Olympic team.
Truly a great crop of spike shoe
artists is being conditioned for thu
big indoor occasion of the year, and /
is more than likely that the winners il
all of the events will be included II
the personnel Of the American athlete
army that invades Stockholm.
But there are others. Many collegj
athletes. who because of their studie
are unable to make the trip to New
York for the indoor champs" hav'
qualified themselves for consideration
by their recent achievements.

School Note,

The old East Lincoln" building
was abandoned Monday, and the four
grades that have worked there took
the West Lincoln"
Hereafter there will be one Lin
coin" school, housed in a modern
eight room, convenient building. Many
parents will feel thankful that their
little folks no longer go into the dark,
dingy, unhealthful and doubtfully safe
old building.
The contractors are rushing the
work on the new building, and will
soon have every thing in shape-the
schoolwork has been and is yet much
hindered by the noise and disorder of
workmen in the building, but everyone
is doing as well as they can and look
ing forward to the good time ceming.
The rooms in the Lincoln" school
have been numbered in order, and
grades assigned accordingly; the kin
dergarten, fifty children; Miss Porter
in charge, having Room |; Miss Pot
ras, Grade /, fifty-two pupils, Room 2;
,
Room 8; Miss Duggan, Grade III, forty
two pupils, Room 4; Miss Baird, Grade
", tifty-six pupils, Room >; Miss Pow
ell, Grade V, fOrty-five pupils, Room 6;
Miss Mueller Grade VI A, tifty-two
pupils, Room 7; Miss Horshamu Grade
VI b, forty-fve pupils, Room s.
New drinking fountains, new toilet
rooms, and new heating plant, make
the building very comfortable.
Miss Baird, the efficient principal of
the building, is greatly pleased with
the change, and says it will help i'm
prove the schoolwork very much.
julius Salzwedel, the janitor in
charge, says he will keep the Lin
| coin" a model of neatness and com.
fort
The old building is advertised for
sale and will be cleared from the
school grounds.
The new toilet rooms at the Grant
building are now finished, and add
greatly to the convenience there. The
Grant" and the Lincoln" are now
practically equal in capacity and
equipment, and both are crowded be-
yond the limit for good school work,
and emphasize the fact that Norfolk
is growing, and that another school
building will soon be necessary.
Supt Crosier was authorized by the
board at it's last meeting to have
electric gongs placed in the Lincoln
and Grant buildings.
Sanitation of our school rooms, es-
pecially the heating, lighting and ven'
tilation, will be discussed at the teach
ers' meeting Monday, at 4:3O.

our agricultural classes some excel
lent work this week on corn judging.

TRADE REVIEW OF WEEK
Expansion in Holiday Trade-Firmer
Prices for Steel.


New York, Dec. 9-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Expansion in holiday trade, earlier
than usual sales by iobbers which
have attracted numerous buyers, a
seasonably good trade in staple lines
at retail, Notwithstanding higher tenn
perature, firmer prices for finished
steel and activity in pig iron We're IA
vorable developments of the week.
The wholesale trade has become some
what slow, partly on account of the
approaching holidays, while statesmen
are being gradually withdrawn from
the road. Spring is still marked by
more or less conservatism, southern
points being especially conspicuous in
this respect. Fair activity is noted in
dry goods for future delivery, revis-
ions of bleaChed Cottons have served
TO bring out a pretty good volume of
business, and mills making heavy
goods have liberal orders, but irregu.
larity in prices on cotton yarns leads
are carrying rather large stocks. Or.
ders for dress goods for spring, it is
said, are for the finer grades, while a
similar statement comes from manu-
| features of mems wear Leather is
quiet but strong in price. In jewelry
inquiry seems to be for the cheaper
grades. Pig iron is active, but prices
remain low, though quotations on fin
ished steel tend to harden, there being
a conservative belief that the corner
has been turned. However, it is recog
MID that some weeks must elapse be
fore definite views as to sustained
higher prices can be formed.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending Dec.
were 267, against ZIG last week, 267 in
the like week of 1910, 259 in 1909, 29S
in 1908 and 2S4 in 1907.
Wheat, including flour exports from
the United States and Canada, for the
week ending Dec. aggregate 1891 49,
bushels, against 4,S55,3l6 last weel
and 3,49S,45S this week last year. Fol
the twenty-three weeks ending Dec. 7
exports are 74,126,023 bushels, against
53,226,590 in the corresponding period
last year.
Corn exports for the week are &c,
ll6 bushels, against 1885 last weel
and 161, 015 in 1910. For the twenty
three weeks ending Dec. Z corn ex
ports are 11,2l3,S63 bushels, against
s,37S,067 last year.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 9.-That there
is possibility that the next period of
great industrial activity in this coun'
try may find the railroads utterly un
able to carry the greatly augmented
burden impressed upon them, and that
their partial failures to meet the stu
alton in 1906 and 1907 has furnished a
sufficient forecast of what such con
dition would mean, was the warning
note sounded by President Daniel viii

not a game scheduled with the Har-
ward eleven. An Army Harvard game
would have furnished an excellent line
on the respective chances Of both
teams.
After the Yale game the Army
schedule read easy for the team on the
banks Of the Hudson. They needed
another hard game before the one with
the Navy.
But the Annapolis eleven, too, looked
to have an easy schedule after the
Princeton game. But the game with
Penn State helped put the eleven on
edge.
The two teams have met fifteen
times during the past sixteen years,
there being no battle in 1909. The
Army men have won eight contests,
while the Navy men have captured
seven.
The probable lineup of the two elev-
ems will be: Army, left end, Drake;
left tackle, Devore; left guard, Ar
mold; center, Walmsley; right guard,
Huston; right tackle, Littlejohn; right
end. Gillespie; quarterback, Hyatt;

APPROPRIATION
TO ADVERTISE
PENSACOLA
PUBLICITY COMMITTEE SETS
ASIDE $4,000 TO BE USED IN
SETTING FORTH ADVANTAGES
OF THE CITY AND EscAMBIA
COUNTY.

The publicity committee of the Com
mercial Association, under authority
vested in it by the board of directors,
has appropriated $4,000 for use In the
near future and has ordered the ex-
penditure of $526.s4 for classified ad-
vertising in national magazines within
the next eight weeks, according to the
the association. The committee has
also set aside $500, which is considered
the outside estimate, to be expended
for the publication of pamphlet
already authorized by the association.
1t is the intention Of the committee to
have 10000 copies Of the pamphlet is
sued. The remainder Of the $4,000 will
be used for future work.
The committee also decided upon the
policy Of printing the backs of en-
velopes for business people who de-
sire them. These envelopes will be
printed with selected matter setting
forth the advantages of Escambia
county and Pensacola. and win be
changed from time to time. The work
will be done free, the only requirement
on the part of the business people
being that they furnish their own en-
velopes.
Secretary Waterman was busy yes
terday trying. to obtain reasonably
accurate estimate Of the number os
business envelopes used in this city in
the course of a year.

Vox PoPULI.
WOULD NOT CUT WEEDS
FROM PRIVATE PROPERTY
Pensacola Fla March 60 1911

Pensacola, Fla, March 80, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
In answer to article signed by Min
ME Wolfe Rutherford, in your Vox
Populi columns of yesterday morning,
I wish to say that my recommendation
of date March s, 1911, to the city
council for an appropriation of $4,000
for cutting weeds was for the purpose
of cutting down and removing weeds
from property owned by the city, and
from public parks and streets and not
private property. 1t is not my inten-
ton to allow a few paltry dollars to
stand in the way of saving the life of
any Of our citizens from death by dis
eases that may be prevented by cutting
down few weeds.
The following is copy Of my rec
ommendation to the city council OF
March s, 1911:
Pensacola, Fla, March 8. 1911. The
Hon. President and City Council, City.
Gentlemen: During the year of 1919.
there was reported to the Office of the
board of health 10 deaths from malarial
fever. It is a well known fact that
malarial fever is transmitted by mos
quitoes. These mosquitoes are bred in
Stagnant pools Of water, and in low
places of the city, and in most cases
the stagnant pools of water in which
the mosquitoes breed are hidden by
weeds. In order to properly oil these
sta gnant pools and to stop the breed
ing Of mosquitoes, and to have the
weeds cut down and removed, would
respectfully recommend an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to be made from the
general fund, to the board of health,
for the purpose of purchasing the
necessary oil, etc, for the purpose of
properly oiling the stagnant pools of
water, and to prevent the breeding OF
mosquitoes, and a further appropria-
ton of $4,000 to the board of public
works, for the purpose of cutting down
and removing weeds all over the city.
Respectfully, Frank Reilly, Mayor"
FRANK REILLY,
Mayor.
