LOBSTER WEIGHED % POUNDS

A big lobster, said to be the largest
ever seen or caught in nearby waters,
says the New York Times, was picked
up by Theodore Hoinkin, a hotel man
of Southold, L. l., on the sound side
Of the shore near Horton Point Light
house the other afternoon. The lobster
weighed twenty eight pounds.
The hotel man was out for a stroll
along the beach when he saw what he
thought to be a dog scratching up the
sand about twenty yards from the re-
ceding water. He could hardly believe
his eyes, he said, when he discov-
cred that it was a lobster with claws
measuring more than three feet from
tip to tip. He pinned the lobster to
the ground with a stick until he sue
ceeded in turning it on it's back. Then,
tying cord around it, he carried his
prize to Brooklyn.
In a Washington street restaurant
the lobster was then exhibited for a
few hours. A tub was put in the win
dow, but the lobster couldn't stretch
himself in it. 1t required two hours
of boiling before the big crustacean
was ready to serve, his shell being
half an inch thick in places. The or
binary lobster can be boiled in twenty
minutes. When dressed. the meat alone
weighed eleven pounds, according to
the restauranteur.
HoinKin said the lobster had prob
ably been washed ashore by a recent
storm and was unable to steer his way
back to deep water.

ALLEN
TALKS ABOUT
THE 1871 FAIR
OF MILTON GAZETTE
SAYS SANTA ROSA is DETER
MINED TO TAKE PREMIUM FOR
COUNTY ExHIBIT-ALSo TALKS
ABOUT GOOD ROADS AND THE
BRIDGE BETWEEN COUNTIES.

Genial, clever Hub Allen, editor and
publisher of the Milton Gazette, was
in town yesterday, having come down
to see the F1orala team get beat but,
of course, Hub did not leave town
without "jollying" his newspaper
friends some, nor without doing some
boosting for his town. However, Editor
Allen likes to come to Pensacola and is
interested in everything that is for the
interest of West Florida, whether 1t
originates in Pensacola, Milton, or
somewhere else, and naturally one of
the first subjects that he approached
when in conversation with the Journal
man was the Interstate Fair.
Talking about that fair" said Editor
Allen, I'VE are going to take that coun-
ty exhibit prize back to Santa Rosa
with US, and you fellows might as we'll
be prepared for that in the beginning
In the first place, we are going to have
the best county fair at Milton this year
that Santa Rosa has ever had, and
since our fair closes just a day or so
before the opening of the Interstate
Fair, we have decided to bring our en-
tire agricultural exhibit to Pensacola
Yes, sir, if we can only get it here,
we've got the stuff to take the prize
with, and we will, hands down"
Speaking of conditions in his town,
Mr.. Allen told of the recent Organiza-
LlOn OF the MllIOn Improvement Assoc
citation. This association" said Editor
Allen, SIS an organization of citizens
both of Milton and of Santa Rosa
county for the purpose of promoting
the commercial, industrial and civic
interests of Milton and Santa Rosa
county. The association meets regu-
larly at the court house in Milton on
the second Tuesday night of each
month. The new organization is in a
f1ourishing condition." continued Mr..
Allen, and is doing a world of good
for our town and county. While, Of
course, we haven't any real dead ones
in Milton, this association is composed
of an unusually live bunch and they
mean business and are living up to the
principles expressed in the clause stat
ing the object of the organization"
Editor Allen is one of the most en-
thusiastic supporters of the good roads
movement for West Florida to be
found anywhere and when he got
started on that subject, he said so
many good things and said so much in
favor of good roads and in favor of
building the bridge connecting Escam-
4 and Santa Rosa counties that the
reporter could not keep up with him.

TELLS ON The KIDNEYS
Pensacola People Have Found This To
Be True.

The strain of overwork tells on the
weakened kidneys more quickly than
on any other organ of the body. The
hurry and worry Of business men, the
heavy lifting and STOPPING of workmen,
the women's household cares, tend to
wear, weaken and injure the kidneys
until they can no longer filter the
poison from the blood and the whole
body suffers from the waste matter
that accumulates. The weakened kid
neys need quick assistance. Doan's
Kidney Pills are prepared especially
for sick, weakened kidneys; tired
worn-Out backs-have cured thousands
of such cases. Convincing proof in a
Pensacola citizens statement.
Mrs. A. ]. Ward, 721 North DeVilliers
street, Pensacola, Fla, says: 'Doan's
Kidney Pills have been used off and
on in my family for the past five years
and 1 do not know how we could get
along without them. This remedy cures
backache and strengthens the kidneys,
in fact, make one feel better in every
way"
For sale by all dealers. Price so

ADJUSTMENTS.
War Picture at the Elite


dainty little story of the civil war
is the subject of a. picture which will
be shown at the Elite Theatre today,
and will no doubt create as much in
terest as the picture Molly Pitcher"
The following is a synopsis of this
film: Marion Harmer is a beautiful
widow whose sympathies are with the
south, where she is residing when war
breaks out.
Her cousin, Walter Percival, an Of
ficer in the Confederate army, seeks
her heart, but she holds him aloof be-
cause her affections are already placed
in the keeping of Dave Millen, a gall
liant major in the service of Uncle Sam.
Yet. she likes her cousin, and the more
so that he is fighting for the cause she
loves so well.
The fair widow is living just between
the lines of the two armies, and so il
comes about that both her lovers are
paying her court at the sametime. Her
Union sweetheart, learning that he has
a rival, decides to capture him, first
warning the widow to keep out of
war"
Percival, the Confederate sweetheart
is one day dining at the widows when
Major Millen, the Federal, comes on
the scene. The widow hides Percival
under the table and the major "set-to"
to enjoy a hearty meal. At its conclu-
thrilling and amusing.
The widow, thoroughly riled, rushes
to the Confederate camp and acquaints
them of the predicament of their Of
ficer, so it is not long before the tables
are turned on the gallant major, and
he is himself a prisoner in the hands
of his rival. But the widow, not want
ing affairs to shape up thusly, imme-
diately sets to work to undo them
apain, and to this end she makes her
way to the Confederate camp and as
sists daringly in her lovers escape.
Then comes a spirited chase by the
Confederate cavalry and dashing as
sault and rescue by a body of Federals.
Then comes the widows capitulation
of heart and. hand to her Federal
sweetheart in recognition of his in
domitable courage and dashing charge
on the citadel of her affections.
Mr.. Rayfield will sing a new song
today, supported by the Wilkerson sis
tiers, while the Elite orchestra will
render selections in their excellent
style. Altogether program well worth
several times the price of admission.

DR.. j. Whiting Hargis, Chairman

Pensacola, Fla, July Z. 1911.
DR.. ]. Whiting Hargis, Chairman
Board of Public Safety.
Dear Sir: Complying with your re-
quest as the same was communicated
to me today by the city clerk, I advise
you that by the ordinance entitled:
"An ordinance relating to the Police
Department of the City of Pensacola"
approved May 25, 1911, and under the
provisions of the city charter, the mar
shall was vested with the power on and
after the 9Th day of June, 1911, to ap-
point from the qualified members of
the politics force a captain of the day
watch.
The city charter provides:
Section SO. That the board of public
safety shall be under the direction
and control of the city council and
subject to such instructions and regu-
lations as may be prescribed by reso-
luton or ordinance of the council.
Section so. Said board shall be
power to prescribe rules, not incon-
sistent with any statutes or ordinances
regulating it's own proceedings and the
conduct of it's officers, etc.
Section 80. Said board shall have
subject to such rules, regulations and
directions as the council may prescribe
by ordinance, or otherwise, control of
all matters relating to the fire depart
ment and the police department.
Section 80. The marshal shall have
direct charge and control of the police
force, subject to the supervision of the
mayor under such rules and regula-
tions as the board of public safety
shall prescribe, subject to ordinances
of the city.
Under the foregoing provisions, the
council possessed the power to pass the
ordinance of May 25 taking from the
board of public safety the power to
appoint the captain of the day watch,
which was previously vested in it by
section Is of the code of ordinances,
and to vest that power in the marshal,
and the existence of vacancy was not
necessary to authorize him to exercise
such power.
The marshars action in appointing
Charles Simpson to the position of
captain of the day watch was legal
and the 3rd 4th, 9Th and 9Th ere
solves of the resolution adopted by
the board of public safety. July 8, 1911,
are without legal jurisdiction; they
have no legally binding effect upon
the marshal, and l have so advised

TWO OFFICERS
CLAIM TO BE
DAY CAPTAIN
BOTH FRANK WILDE AND cHAS.
SIMPSON WERE ON HAND YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON TO AS
sUME CHARGE OF WATCH
SIMPSON WoRKED-oPINIoN OF
CITY ATTORNEY.

When the squad Of policemen going
on duty at p. m, and known as the
day watch, were ready to go on watch
yesterday afternoon, two captains ap-
peared at the station to take charge
of the watch, namely, Chas. Simpson
and Frank Wilde. Captain Simpson
was placed in charge of the watch by
Chief Sanders.
Officer Wilde, who was a few weeks
ago reduced to ranks from the posi-
ton of captain of the day watch, re-
ported to take his former position, this
action on his part being accounted for
by the resolution recently adopted by
the board of public safety, a copy of
which appeared in the Journal the day
following its Introduction. The sense
of this resolution was that Frank
Wilde was still captain of the day
watch and instructing the chief of
police to reinstate him in that capacity.
After the Introduction of the resolu
ton referred to, Chairman Hargis, of
the board of safety, referred the reso-
luton to City Attorney Jones for an
opinion, and the city attorney ruled
that the resolution was invalid.
officer Wilde stated yesterday after
noon to a Journal man that he had
reported to take charge of his watch,
but that Chief Sanders had informed
him that there was no vacancy in the
capacity and that he could report on
his regular watch.
Opinion of City Attorney.
The opinion of the city attorney, to-
gether with the communication of the
city clerk forwarding the same to
Chairman Hargis. of the board of pub
lie safety, is as follows:
Pensacola, Fla, July 7, 1911.
Hon. J. whiting Hargis, Chairman,
Board of Public Safety.
Dear Sir: AS requested by you, I
have referred the resolution adopted by
the board of public safety at it's meet

opinion in the matter.
