SHERIFF ELLIS
BACK IN CITY
WITH O'BR|EN
YOUNG MAN WHO WAS IN PEN
sAcoLA RECENTLY, BROUGHT
BACK FROM MONTGOMERY TO
STAND TRIAL ON A SERIOUS
CHARGE.

Charged with forgery, issuing worth
less checks and getting money under
false pretenses J. J. O'Brien, also
known as McGrath, arrived at Pensa-
cola from Montgomery yesterday at
ternoon in custody of Sheriff Cary
Ellis, who went there to bring him
back to this city to stand trial. In de-
fault OF bail, O'Brien was locked up In
the county jail.
The arrest of O,Brien, who was in
Pensacola about month ago, when, It
is said, he represented himself to be
a congressman from Missouri, was
brought about by T. J. Haley, PEN
sacola real estate man. Haley cashed
a S75 check for O'Brien, which. 1t is
alleged, later proved to be a forgery,
ii being claimed that the name Of
OBrien's father which was signed on
the check was a forgery.
1t is also said that O'Brien later gave
Haley a check for $40. which proved to
be worthless.
When O'Brien was in Pensacola he
claimed to be the representative of a
Catholic colonization company and
wanted to buy land here for colonial
ton purposes.
The date of oyBrien's preliminary
hearing has not yet been announced

PANAMA CANAL SAFE
FROM SEA ATTACKS
Secret Tests Demonstrate That Fire
From War Vessels Could Injure
Important Part of Works.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 30.-Secret
tests recently made by the Third divi-
sion of the Atlantic battleship fleet IN
der command of rear admiral Usher are
said to have disclosed the fact that
the Panama canal virtually has Moth
ing to fear from the fire Of any
enemies fleet so far as the Gatun and
other important locks are concerned.
This Information has leaked from the
navy department.
The tests, started last winter, are
declared to have developed the fact
that the fleet could not determine the
location of the Gatun locks. 1t also is
intimated that the data made public
and supposed to give the topography
Of the canal zone was inaccurate In
addition, it was discovered that the
hills intervening rendered the locks al
most immune from danger of lombard
ment from sea
Extension OF the breakwater on the
Atlantic side has made it possible to
mount long range guns so far out that
the approach of an enemy's fleet could
readily be checked. Elaborate plans
also for the mining of the approaches
of the canal on both the Atlantic and
Pacific sides already have been COM
pleted
