Responsibility For The Aero

Editor Banner:
With reference to the aeroplane
fiasco on Labor day, the company re-
spectfully submits the following:
The Labor day celebration was un-
der the control of parties in no way
connected with the company.
The company had nothing to do
with securing the aeroplane attrac-
ton, the contract with the aviator or
the advertisements and reading mat
ter which appeared in the papers.
The statement that any lady wish
ing to become a passenger could file
application at our office, was published
without our knowledge or consent.
The alleged excuse for not flying
from the park is without foundation,
as no permission was asked or prom.
Use made to remove trees. Prior to
Labor day we investigated as best we
could and received every assurance
that the exhibition would be given as
advertised. 1t was not until the morn
ing of Labor day that we became real
ly suspicious and then we used every
effort to force fulfilment of the ad
vertised promises. Even then we were
assured that the flight would positive
ly take place at o'clock, and that
the time was ideal.
Though in no way responsible foi
the exhibition or the promises made
we did our utmost in work, effort and
expense to compel compliance and
avoid our patrons disappointment.
The company received no revenue
from the receipts and feels as much
victimized as its patrons.

Special to The Journal.

st. Augustine, March 13.-The Ma
tional Guard Of Florida is to partici-
pate, to some extent, In the so-styled
army maneuvers," which are just
commencing along the southern bord-
er Of Texas.
In the administrative Offices of the
Florida military department, at the
state arsenal in this city, there has
been much activity yesterday and to-
day putting into effect the plan of the
war department for having officers Of
the organized militia of this state par
ticipate in these maneuvers.
The information given out from the
office of the adjutant general is that
the war department through the cheif
of the division of militia affairs, has
invited the state authorities to suggest
the names of a limited number of Of
ficers of the National Guard of Florida
who could be detailed TO report imme-
diately at the nearest of the army
camps now being established in Texas
The officers so detailed to go there for
the purpose of observation and in
sruction in connection with the ma
neuvers which are to be undertaken.
This information was received by tele-
graph yesterday, and messages were
at once dispatched to the commanding
officers Of the various posts in Florida
submitting. the proposition, and re-
questing the recommendation of off,
GERS who can make ii convenient to
attend. As only a limited number of
officers can be accepted, selection will
have to be made from those who vol
unteer for this service; such selection
being made with a view to securing
through this experience the greatest
benefit for the state service. This is
understood to mean that preference
will be given senior commanding off,
GERS. and officers Of important supply
departments, who, If engaged in active
duty in the field, would have to deal
with the same problems for transport
ing and furnishing supplies for troops
that are to be worked out in these
Texas maneuvers-
The detail OF these officers Is to be
made today. and it is expected that by
tomorrow night the Florida contingent
will be well on the way TO the scene
of these exceptional military activi-
ties.

THE ATLANTA
GATHERING
l. s. BROWN SAYS 1T WAS ONE
OF THE GREATEST MEETINGS
EVER HELD IN THE SOUTH
PRAISE FOR THE PROMOTER, G.
eRosvENoR DAVE

Z. S. Brown. who has returned from
Atlanta where he attended the South
ern Commercial Congress, is very en-
thusiastic over the work Of that greet
gathering. To a Journal representa-
tive yesterday, Mr.. Brown said:
THE Southern Commercial Con-
gress meeting was a grand success,
far beyond the expectation Of the
father of this great movement. 1 have
returned with a broader conception of
the wonderful possibilities Of this
great southern country. The results
of this convention am sure win be
far-reaching and will mean millions IN
the development of the south, the gar
den spot of the world.
Mr.. G. Grosvenor DAVE, the father
Of the movement, is in my judgment, :"
continued Mr.. Brown, one Of the
greatest men In our country today. II
you could see and talk to him you
would be impressed with his fine pur-
pose and his unaffected simplicity. He
is a man Of tremendous force, strong
character and capable of directing
great affairs. The earnest devotion he
IS giving this great work should in
spire the cooperation of every true
American, and especially the south
erner. 1 do not believe another man
in the United States could have gath
cred together in the same length of
time for such a purpose SO many
notable men of affairs representing
practically every phase of commerce
and industry.
"On the train last night. Mr.. DAVE
said to me: The influence Of this
great meeting was tremendous before
ever it was held. for the papers of
the nation told of IL and its signifi-
canoe. Coming fifty years after dis
union, now that the meeting has been
held. we can safely say that this great
meeting has done more than the most
hopeful of us had dared to expect.
The papers of the nation have told of
the great affirmative truth regarding
the south so that mighty influence is
being brought to bear by the Southern
Commercial Congress, namely: to
make the south understanding and
understood. Let Pensacofians remem
Der this, that you know what you have.
but the distant man only knows of
Pensacola as a speck on the map.
Broaden this thought and you VIII see
what we have accomplished in our two
and one half years of work. We have
stirred millions to thinking OF the
south as a live, pulsating portion OF
the United States, and not merely AS
so many square inches on the map. It
has been a great work; nothing
greater has happened along construc-
tive lines In national development
since two men stood beneath the apple
| tree at Appomattox and agreed that
we should have peace"
