the Warrior river and the Tombigbee are
navigable from Tuscaloosa to the gulf
under ordinary circumstances is indicated
by the fact that the Ala bama and New

two of its new barges on the way to Tus-

experienced trouble in getting by the 7un-
finished locks, was broken by the rains
OF the past week and the river has again
reached its normal depth, enabling the
barges to make the trips without trouble.
Barge No. 3. which left here some time
ago with load of Tuscaloosa coal. has
disposed of its cargo at Demopolls. and
is now returning to this city for another
load. Barge No A. which was only re-

ments for the Tuscaloosa Booster Special

PRESIDENT TRAVELS
WITH GOOD FELLOWS

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 12.-Presi-
dent Wilson passed through here this
morning enroute to the summer White
House at Cornish, N. Fl. The trip was
reminiscent Of campaign days, for not
only did the president travel on the
private car federal from which he
made most of his back platform
speeches, but he was accompanied by
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury de-
partments Secretary Tumulty and Dud-
ley Field Malone, third assistant secre-
tary of state, all Of whom were Mr..
Wilson'S travelling companions in pre-
election days.
Messrs McAdoo, Tunulty and Ma
lone left the presidents train at New
Haven and continued to Beverly, Mass,
where they will confer today with Col.
E. NJ House, intimate friend Of Presi-
dent Wilson. They will talk over the
Boston collecuorship and two other fed
eral appointments in Massachusetts.
Some of the Massachusetts, leaders
have been urging that federal appoint
ment be deferred until after the guber-
Material election so as to avoid the
possibility of factional strain in the
democratic ranks. The president prob
ably will decide this when he gets back
to Washington.

A POINT
REGARDING NAVY YARD.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The report in this mornings Jour
nal OF what l said at the meeting Of
the Commercial Association Thursday
night does not bring out point whic1
] wish to emphasize in regard to the
navy yard situation. This point is
that we are not trying to use political
pressure to secure anything which we
should not have. and that any activity
which the association or individuals
put forth should be directed toward
impressing upon congress, and any
others who may have to pass judg
ment upon this, matter. the strength
and justice of our contention, as in
Dictated by the report of a naval board
constituted for the purpose of advis-
ing thu secretary and congress in
the matter. think all correspon-
dence bearing on the subject should
emphasize this fact.
If the navy yard is reopened. IF
course its development will be grad
ual, and any figures as to what the
payroll might be are not exact, but
merely an estimate of what may be
expected at its full development.
don't think l said the chances for
a Tampa Pensacola steamship line
were good. but that we had the mat
ter UP and hoped for results. I might
have said, however, that the chances
for the Pensacola Mobile canal are
excellent.
Senator Fletcher, who is pushing
the matter. thinks that our chances
for an appropriation this winter are
very favorable.
