NAVAL TUGS 100 MILES OFF
PENSACOLA COMES BACK INTO
PORT AND GOES TO PIECES.

One of the two large coal barges
lost by the naval tugs about ten days
ago. Paxutent and Tocoma, while
being lowed from the Pensacola navy
yard to Guantanamo, came back into
port yesterday in three pieces, the
barge breaking up on Pickens point.
The tugs reported that they lost
two of their tow about 100 miles east
of Pensacola and being unable to find
the two barges that parted their haw-
sers they came back here and secured
two more. Yesterday one of the
barges appeared on Pickens point, and
broke into three pieces. One Of these
pieces headed straight for the navy
yard and landed against a boat house,
another went across to Fort Barran-
cas-, while the third piece struck
against Fort Pickens wharf and re-
manned there.
The wind and tide had brought the

EVERGREEN TREES, BUNTING,
GAY coLoRED LIGHTS, ETC,
ARE MUCH IN EVIDENCE ON
BUSINESS STREET AND ADD
GREATLY TO APPEARANCE or
THIS SECTION.

Christmas decorations, consisting of
evergreen trees, bunting, gay colored
lights, etc, are becoming much in
evidence along Palafox street and the
other business streets Of the city and
the entire town is taking on g de-
cided holiday aspect. Almost every
business house on Palafox street is
now decorated, both on the interior
and exterior, while the tempting
Christmas goods displayed in the at
tractive show windows add much to
the appearance of the city and one
would almost believe Palafox street
was one big Christmas tree, or expect
to meet ST. Nicholas any minute.
In addition to the other ornamental
designs, the lights across Palafox
street. between Garden and the wharf
which we're hung for the presentation
celebration, have been allowed to re-
main until after Christmas, and add
greatly to the srrearan of this Sec
ton of the city.

IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MAIL IS
GOING THROUGH THE OFFICE
AND SALE OF STAMPS MUCH
LARGER THAN LAST YEAR.

Business is now rushing with the
local postof1ce, and the force of clerks
in every department will experience
some hard work from now until after
the holidays are over.
The outgoing as well as incoming
mails are heavy, and the volume of
business done through the money or
der, registry and other departments
has shown big increase during the
past few days, with the result that in
some departments extra help has been
found necessary. The amount of work.
it is expected, will increase with each
day, until after Christmas day, all
though the amount Of mail to be
handled will be above the normal I'M
til January / or after.
The sale of stamps thus far this
month has exceeded by several hun
dred dollars the amount sold up to
the same date last year.

Portland, Or, Dec. 21.--Through the
efnorts OF John P. Sullivan, Grand
Exalted Ruler of the Elks, conflicts in
the dates Of the important conven-

Los Angeles in September and NAY,
respectively. BY urging the subject
on members of the Republican Nation
al Committee he succeeded in having
the date for the Republican conven-
ton in Chicago set for the week of
June Is. He has started similar ne
gotiations with the Democratic Ma
tional Committee and it is probable
that another week than that chosen by
the Elks will be selected for the Dem

A STREET CAR
AND AN AUTO
IN COLLISION
w. n. MASON Is INJURED WHEN
HIS MACHINE coLLlpEs WITH
THE FATAL NO. SCAR HAS
BEEN IN MANY ACCIDENTS RE-
GENTLY.

Coming, down Paiafox street last
night about 1870 O'Clock, W. II.
Mason in his Buick car, No. 175, col
iided with East hill street car No. ID,
resulting in his being painfully in
jured and the left rear wheel OF his
machine being torn in pieces. While
painful, 1t is not thought that Mr..
Mason's injuries are serious, although
IL is not positively known, as when
the collision occurred he was thrown
onto the steering wheel of the ma
chine. striking the pit of his stomach
and it is possible that he was in
3ured internally.
When the accident occurred the
street car was also coming south on
Palafox and Just before reaching Ro-
mana street, according to the state
1nent OF several witnesses, 1t appeared
that Mason attempted to pass the car
and go ahead by going around it. He
was on the right hand side of the
car and just as he cut across to the
left and had gotten the front wheels
of his automobile clear of the track,
the street car struck the hind wheel,
throwing the machine clear around so
that when the car was stopped the
automobile was facing north. Every
spoke In the wheel was broken or
bent and the rim was demolished
Mason said that he did not see the
car, or know that it was so near him,
while the motorunan said that he did
not know that Mason was going to
attempt to cross in front of the street
car until he had already started and
that he then put on the emergency
brake, but the car had hit the macine
before he could stop.
Several officers who were upon the
scene almost Immediately were sat
isfied that the accident was unavoid-
able and no arrests were made.
The car was in charge of E. J.
Knots, conductor and A. II. Cook,

urIueky Car.
There may be nothing in the super
stition in regard to the number 13,
but it is getting to be a rather hard
matter to convince street car men in
Pensacola that there is not, and il
seems that they have Just cause for
looking askance at the number when
applied to street cars, as this par
ticular car has been in more accidents
within the past year than all the other
cars in the service here.
Within the past year Number 13 has
figured in at least half a dozen OF
less serious accidents The last one
before this was when J. E Walton, 5
prominent locomotive engineer was
killed by this car on East Wright
street. while several months ago a
man was Knocked down and rather
seriously injured by the same car al
the corner of Chase and Palafoz
streets. Besides these accidents, the
car has been in a number or less
serious ones in the meantime and ii
has become so noticeable that a good
many OF the motormen and conductors
do not fancy being assigned to this
car and many comments are heard
from passengers when they board the

CAY Gets OFF
ON SPEED CHARGE

Eric Gay, the chauffeur charged
with speeding along Kapiolani street
some time ago, told his story in the
police court. He SAID that he was
probably going from eighteen to
twenty miles an hour, up the 10 per
cent grade, but was not going as fast
as twenty-five miles.
The evidence for the prosecution
was that E. M. Cheatham timed Gay
with an ordinary watch and found
that he covered 1900 feet in thirty
seconds, but the distance between the
two points mentioned by Cheatham
was found to be only HOO feet. Judge
Lymer found that there was consider
able doubt as to the timing and dis
missed the charge against Gay.

FREE WATER FOR

In the opinion Of the House mlscel-

been improperly left out of the bill
which seeks to provide free water for
religious institutions. The committee
reporting today, asks amendment to
provide that the q overnmenf give
free water only 10 Christian"
churches and institutions.
Alfonso asked if the insertion of
the word Christian" would not be
unconstitutional
Castle, chairman of the Judiciary
cVmmittee, said he thought that where
it was special legislation, not involv-
ing sites, there would be nothing un-
constitutional, where the organizations
are not enterprises for profit He
said there might be such a question
where the Y. M. G. A. was concerned
as TO whether that was an enterprise
for profit, since the Y. M. G. A.
