THAN REGRETS
THE ARREST OF
W. I. JEROME
Denies He or His Lawyers
Instigated The Arrest
Feeling Is High Against
The New York Lawyer
And His Case Is Post

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

coaticook. Quebec, Sept. 6.-Harry
Thaw regrets that Jerome was arrested
On a gambling charge. He denies he
or his lawyers instigated the arrest
and said he would have been glad to
furnish bond. This was his statement
today given out by the hotel proprte-
tor who gives the prisoner his meals.
Jerome is reported to be in Montreal
preparing for the court battle when
Thaw is brought to the kings bench
on September Is. Townsfolk resent
Jerome's failure 10 appear for his gam
bling trial. The case was postponed
until Thursday.
Jerome was bitterly denounced by
Justice Of the Peace Mckee in his
court room today.

we intend to persecute Mr.. Jerome to
the full extent OF the law. He can't
come here and play his card games
before our children. This may be a
suburb town, but we intend to enforce
Jour laws. Our relation with the Amer
lean bar are cordial but justice must
be melted out in this case"
The court suggested that Jeronne's
bail be forfeited.
CASE CONTINUED.
That would only hit two of our citi-
zens, who went on It," said Mr.. Han
son, the prose cutor. The justice then
allowed that he would let the bail
stand. He put over the case until
September II.
Sixty idlers in the court room who
listened to the magistrates TRADE
stamped their feet and applauded-

prosecutor for this district, and as such

defense.
In Sherbrooke he aided counsel for
New York In their successful fight to
get Thaw out of Jail He character
lied Jerome's arrest as an outrage.
Jerome, meantime, was at Norton
Mills, VT, where he went yesterday by
automobile, after being admitted to
bail. He was considering the next
move to be made in the Thaw case
and did not deem 1t best to return to
Coaticook, where feeling against him
runs high.

TEST RIGHTS Of
PEOPLE LIVING
CONSERVATION
RECOMMENDATION HAS BEEN
MADE THAT NAVY DEPART.
MENT SETTLE STATUS OF
LAND OWNERSHIP.

Fearing that some of the numerous
residents of Warrington or Woolsey
may claim the property on which they
have been living for so many years,
the special board Of navy officers who
recently visited Pensacola. has recon-
mended to the department that the
latter proceed in the courts against
the residents, or at least one of them,
and thus settle the matter of owner
ship.
The officers say that If the yard is
developed as they recommend that 1t
is very probable that some Of the land
now occupied will be required and
that 1t would be embarrassing for the
department if the residents should
then refuse to vacate and court pro-
ceedings be necessary 1t is therefore
recommended that tn rights of the
residents be tested in court without
any delay.

new DIRECTOR
MAKES CHANGES
WILL PUT M'cuRDY SYSTEM OF
PHYSICAL CULTURE INTO EF-
Feet AT THE Y. nj. C. A.

AT the first conference of the local
Y. NJ C. A. officers, Professor C. A.
Burnhana, the physical director an
rounced his decision to put into effect
the McCurdy system OF physical cul-
ture It has long been the desire of
the officers of the local organization
to have regular graded systematic
courses OF physical culture for the
growing youth OF Pensacola This
course gives the boy sach corrective
and recreative work as will develop
lsis muscles tremendously. It aims at
an all around development.
w. P. Cunningham, general secre-
tary, says that some such system is a
necessity in the life Of every growing
boy. L. Gordon Leech, director of
boys work. says that his experience
in the Washington association for the
past four years with this system has
proven very satisfactory 1T gives a
boy poise, grace and self confidence
that only comes from the proper con-
troll of the muscles
The classes will of course be made
attractive by games such as basket
ball, indoor baseball, ETC., but the i'm
portant part in this system is that it
takes recreative work and makes 1t
corrective.
Glasses will begin September 29th
after extensive improvements in the
gymnasium.

Farmers Should Grow

and money savers.
Cattle and Hogs.
There has been a great deal OF talk
in our county lately about growing
cattle and hogs. IT is a fact that we
need animal farming the worst way
and when the farmers of our county
wake up and come to themselves and
raise more cattle and better cattle
you will see better farms and more
prosperous country. But IL is folly TO
talk about raising cattle unless you
grow something to feed them on. 80
then insist on forage and winter
cover crops The use made OF these
crops, whether for stock feeding or
for market, determines TO a certain
extent the future crop producing pow
er Of the soil
In all systems of crop rotation all
should try to arrange as far as pos
sible so as to grow leguminous crops
in the fall and to cut and cure these
crops for hay so that the land can De
deeply plowed in, say November Il
possible, blowing under all decayed
vegetable matter and then sowing a
small grain crop so as 20 have a cover
farming is all the time adding TO you-
sou fertility and also making the farm
earn more. No matter what system OF
farming one is engaged In, the winter
cover crop will add to the net gains Of
the farm, whether fed to live stock.
sold off the farm or plowed under be-
fore ripening to add humus to thu
soil
Every farmer should have enough
live stock to use up a considerable
quantity of forage. The manure pro-
duced in this way is the best addition
that can be made TO the general fer
tilfty of the soil.
Like Money In Bank,
Land is like money on deposit IN
bank. You can't expect 20 keep on
drawing out money from the ban)z
unless you keep putting some in from
time TO time TO keep a balance there.
The same is true of land. Our one
crop system is destroying the value Of
our farm property. 10 the average
city business man should run bis fac
tory or store on the basis the average
farm is run the sheriff would have
sim closed up in six months
But the farmer has the key 70 the
situation The whole world is depen-
dent on him for It's bread and meat
and here In Escambia county we have
as good land and as good farmers az
You VIII find In the South. So let's
get right this fall. with grain and
cover crops.
