Hall Collapses;
Six Badly Hurt

GREENSBORO, N. c., Dec. 2s.--Six
persons were fatally injured and a
score seriously hurt at Ellkin, this
State, last night, when a section of
a school building in which the Christ
mas entertainment was being given
collapsed throwing 200 persons "a
distance of twenty feet.
Fire added to the horror of the
early scene, but the flames were ex-
tinguished, though not until two
women and a girl had received fatal
burns. Three men will die from.
fractured skulls and other wounds.
The scene of the tragedy is in a re-
mote mountain country. Ten of the
less seriously injured sustained
broken legs. eight broken arms and
several reported broken ankles or
wrists.

eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff of
the United States army, said yester-
day while discussing the unprepared-
ness of this country for war that the

1.-THE salaries of chauffeurs amount
ed TO more than was expended on the
army" he also said.

Endurance Greatly Needed
to Play Real Fast Tennis

The ordinary man, who has neither
played tennis nor given the subject
any consideration, does not have the
slightest comprehension what extra
ordinary Strength. endurance and
power are necessary for fast tennis.
Maurice Mclaughlin is amateur
champion because he won more con-
tests than anyone else, but he is
not the best tennis player by any
means, He has been played off his
feet by at least two other men of
superior skill, but at the end of the
matches his strength and endurance
told, and he won through the physi-
cal collapse of his opponents.

GEOLOGIST 'UP AGAINST
1T" JUDGING COAL SUPPLY
Says 1t Is Difficult to Tell How
Rich Beds Are,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Replying
to criticism of statistics issued by
his bureau of the fuel resources and
the duration of the coal suppy of the
United States, George Otis Smith, di-
rector of the geological survey, yes
terday made a statement outlining a
few of the difficulties which his ex-
perts meet in the compilation of esti-
mates.
Mr.. Smith says that no one knows
whether the coal beds of the country
will furnish heat and power for the
Americans of the net four or five gem
erations only, about $50 years. or
whether the coal will last ten dozen
generations. or about 1000 years.
1t is exceedingly difficult, he says,
to get a basis on which to estimate
the duration of coal supply.

ASKS SAFETY FOR
JAILED AMERICAN
U. S. Consul Fears Mexican
Rebels Will Put Morris
to Death.

la a
Ell PASO, Tex. Dec. 25.--Through
Consul Thomas Edwards, at Juarez,
the American state department has
requested Mexican military officials
to rescue J. l. Morris, an American
railway man.
Morris was taken captive by rebels
Tuesday when he attempted to save
burning bridge on the Mexico and
Northwestern railway, which had
been set afire by rebels. Since Nor
rls carried federal passports, it is
feared he will not be given any con-
sideration at the hands of the rebels
The attack was made shortly after
midnight, and fighting continued only
for a few hours. The garrison COM
mander reports by letter to General
Trucy Apbert, at Juarez, that he
knew of only fifteen men escaping
besides himself He is hiding at a
ranch, he writes.
The fate of 150 regulars at Guzman,
near by. is not known, but it is be-
lieved the town was taken by rebels
before Ascencion.
BERKELEY. Cal, Dec. 23-Re-.
ports from Ell Paso, Tex, telling of
the slaughter of the inhabitants of
the Sonora town of San Marcial, two
months ago, are denied in letters re-
ceived tonight by j. Z. Johnson from
his brother Carlos, now in Sonora.
Carlos was driven from ranch
near San MarciaL and four of his men
were murdered by Yaqui Indians, but
the attack on the ranch warned the
townspeople, and all escaped before
the Indians swept down on the little
pueblo and burned it.

Every Vote
Should Be Polled.

1t is a positive fact that a large
majority of the people of this coun-
try are heartily in favor of the cleo
til Of Wilson and Marshall and of
a Democratic congress. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that Governor Wilson
win be elected and that his election
will carry with it Democratic house
of representatives and probably a
Democratic senate
The only danger lies in Democratic
overconfidence, amounting almost to
apathy. If the Democrats poll a full
Vote. Wilson and Marshall will be
elected, not only by plurality, but
by an overwhelming majority.
AS has been pointed out by Mr..
Josephus Daniels, chairman of the
Democratic publicity committee, it is
extremely difficult to get out a full
vote at a general election in the
southern states.
This is especially true Of Florida.
In this state a large vote is always
spC.led at a general Democratic pri-
mary. but when the general election
comes around, the voters know the
Democrats will elect every nominee,
even down to constable, in the entire
state, and it is practically impossibls
to get out full vote. The Demo-
Gratis should guard against all posi-
BILE danger, and at the same time add
to the moral effect of the victory, by
getting every Democrat to the polls
on election day this year.
While the possible eanger of the
Democrats in Florida losing any OF
their candidates at the coming cleo
ton is rather too remote to be Sc
riously considered, it must be remem-
bered that, including the negro vote
there is a considerable number of
non-Democrats in Florida and some
day, as The Pensacola Journal has
repeatedly pointed out, the Democrats
may fall asleep at the switch and
make 1t possible for the Republicans
the Bull Moose people, or the Social
lists TO place some OF their adherents
in office.
Anyway. every Florida Democrat
should vote.

JONES SAYS HE WASTED
AMMUNITION ON A SPARROW

Editor Pensacola Journal
Since reading f. f. Bingham's re-
ply to my letter in The Journal of
recent date, am convinced that I
wasted too much ammunition on a
sparrow.
There is only one question involved
after all in the controversy and that
is the itAyphallic audacity of an al
legged Progressive criticizing an
acknowledged Progressive Democrat
for securing a progressive victory.
Mr.. Bingham cannot muddy the wat
ers in his efforts to advise Democrats.
He Is not a Democrat, and advice
from him counts no more than II 1t
should come from Fl. S. Chubb or Joe
Lee.
The cause of the party which he
now espouses sent to Florida thous-
ands of political pamphlets (Which
were not distributed), and which adj
vocates negro equality. Mr.. Bingham
should stick to Ills party and what
1t processes, and not reflect on the
intelligence of Escambia Democrats
for it is impossible for him to have
any influence in that direction.
Claude LEngle Is the nominee of
the Democratic party and all honor
able Democrats who have any regard
for their primary pledge are going to
support him. He received $4,000 votes
| in a Democratic primary and carried
forty four of the forty eight counties
| in Florida.
True, that he opposed Mr.. Blount,
but that he alone defeated Mr.. Blount
| Is giving him credit of being the most
powerful man in Florida. Mr.. Blount.
will, of course, vote for Mr.. L'Engle,
| and so will Mr.. Biount's Democratic
friends. Ma Bingham is unable to
understand That men are chosen as
| the representatives of certain we'll de-
| fined principles. Being a Bull Moos-
er he is naturally following his chief
with buncombe. deception and dema-
goguery.
| Any Democrat who is willing to
follow Mr.. Bingham's advice should
be driven out of the party. The Pen
sacola Bull Mooser should keep his
| stand "at Armageddon" and continue
| to battle-for the trusts in emulation
of the example set by Theodore
Roosevelt, the greatest political fakir
| of the age.
| Very respectfully,
| CHAS. E. JONES.

The Wilson Critics
Are Hard Up.

The critics of Governor Woodrow
Wilson are pretty hard up for MAJ
terial on which to base their diatribes
The esteemed Times Union, of jack
sonville, has probably surpassed all
its fellows in going the limit in this
direction.
Some time ago. in speech at
Sioux City, Governor Wilson had oc-
casion to repeat a few lines of dog
gerel written years ago by a humor-
list of more or less renown, named
Gillett Burgess. Governor Wilson re
ferred to the author OF the doggerel
as "Gillett."
This was evidently small verbal
error as the governor probably in
tended TO call the entire name. Gil
lett Burgess" However. he didn't, and
tss Times Union, OF Jacksonville,
seizes with avidity this splendid OPP
pertunity to make Governor Wilson
the butt of some of tts choicest and
most refined wit.
In spite of all this, Governor Will
son will get both the electoral and
popular vote of Florida and Presiden,
Taft will not carry a single county
In the state.
