THREE BIG NATIONS
STAND WITH WILSON
GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND JA-
Pan INDORSE PRESIDENT.
Pressure From Abroad Likely to
Bring Huerta to Realization OF
His Position.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Great Brit
ain, France and Japan are among
the nations which have interposed
their influence upon the Huerta ad-
ministration in Mexico in support of
the efforts of the United States to
brins about a peaceful settlement of
the revolution.
While administration officials were
silent today regarding this phase of
the situation, there was lively in
terest manifest in diplomatic circles
here as to the probable effect of for
eign pressure on the Huerta govern
ment
1t was learned that the Mexican au-
thorities hoped President Wilson
would not read his message to con-
gress next Tuesday as he had plan
ned, and showed disposition to pro-
long the negotiations. Unless some
tangible overtures, however, are re-
ceived within 4S hours from the
Huerta officials, indicating a desire
to accept the fundamental prol 'sals
of the United States, the president
will proclaim to congress and to the
world the attitude of this government
toward the Southern republic.
Will Start Something.
The fact that diplomats from some
of the very countries which not only
have formally recognized Huerta, but
whose bankers hitherto have fioated
loans for him, are using their infu-J
ence on the Mexican administration
is calculated to produce something
definite shortly. Official reports to
the Washington administration show
the Huerta regime to be in desperate
financial straits with little prospects
of getting funds anywhere to meet
the running expenses of the govern
ment or pay its troops, already res
tive because of deferred payments.
So important is this aspect OF the
situation considered that an air OF
tense expectancy prevailed tonight in
official circles where it was believed
some pronouncement would be forth
coming from Merico City before Pres
ident Wilson finally determined to
communicate his message to con-
gress.
Wilson is Determined,
The insistence of the United States
on an election and elimination OF
Huerta was reiterated positively by
administration officials position
which Mr.. Lind has been instructed
to emphasize. Only concessions oy
the Huerta government, it is believed
here, now would persuade President
Wilson to hold up the presentation OF
his message.
The president finished the docu-
ment today, read it over to Secretary
Bryan and will discuss it Monday
with members of the senate and
house committees on foreign rela-
tions. Meantime officials will await
word from Mexico City as to possible
change of attitude.
The sending of special envoy from
Mexico to Washington further to dis
cuss the situation with President Will
son is regarded here as dllatory
move. 1t is known that the Wash
ington government has made it clear
that such a procedure would NOT al
ter the views expressed in its first
note. It is believed, however, that
the Huerta officials now have aban-
fidoned the idea of sending an envoy
and are seeking to develop new ba-
sis for negotiation.

Congratulations to
The Pensacola Commercial Association.

The Journal desires to congratulate not only the
Commercial Association but the city of Pensacola
WE'LL upon the reelection of President c. E. Dobson and
the new board of directors last night.
The reelection of President Dobson deserved
recognition of faithful service and it constitutes
antee of enthusiastic and efficient direction during the
coming year.
The board of directors is composed OF some OF
the energetic and loyal Pensacola citizenship and
the members may be expected only to carry out the
projects successfully launched by the old
board but initiate and put through many move
so necessary Pensacolas industrial and COM
mercal development.
The board of directors will elect the secretary of the
organization and goes almost without saying that Sec
rotary Leland Henderson will be again chosen. He has
made splendid of his work and the knowledge
gained during his past years service will be valuable
aid his future efforts Mr.. Henderson is who, as
President Dobson said last night builds for the future
and may be said also that he builds in big way Such
is valuable acquisition by any community or
ganization.
The Pensacola Commercial Association has great
work to do, and The Journal has all confidence that it
will accomplish that work All it requires is the co-opera-
ton of the enterprsing citizens of Pensacola The other
kind do not count.

pears, Fishing Concerns Keep Prom
Use and Agree on Raise in Price," etc.
Also, "Omcials OF F. r. A. state that
strike was not entertained" Such
English reflects no credit on officials
OF any association.
Then follows several paragraphs of
statements as misleading and rfdicu-
lous as the above, winding up with
the limit: Pensacola fishermen are
said to be the best paid OF any in the
United States
No doubt all this sounds good to the
uninitiated: but, as 1t happens, there
are a few here who have fished in
various parts Of the United States and
who think It would be mighty good

scribes and informers to make excur-
sions into the turbulent gulf. on board

MRS. SHEAR OBJECTS
TO CARNIVAL APPROPRIATION

Editor Pensacola Journal
Men truly say that women know
little of public questions. freely
confess my ignorance, and humbly ask
for information. Is there any city or
dinance authorizing the city council to
appropriate $500-or any amount-for
the expenses Of the carnival associa.
tion? Do the charitable organizations
of Pensacola get help from the city in
$500 slices? Is the carnival a more
deserving cause than the orphans
home or the old ladies' home? Are the
taxpayers of Pensacola willing to pay
carnival expenses7 II not, has the city
council any right to make the appro-
priation? Who profits most from these
carnivals? Is it the saloons and kin
dred places, or the legitimate lines of
trade? Do the profits Offset the ex-
pense OF caring for the DRINKS and
disorderlies?

would remove the inducement to the
sailing master to seek out the ports
nearest the open sea.
Captain Young, Lieutenant F. H.
Young, w. P. Cunningham, Mr.. Parker
and others brought up numerous ques-
tons, either advocating that it might
be well first to look into the provi-
sions Of the bills or that federal SUI
pervision might be good, Captain
Young taking the latter stand.
When explained by Mr.. Mayes that
he believes the bills do not differ ma
terially from others of like nature Of
fered within the past score of years
and that congress might have ad-
journed before another meeting witN
sufficient number Of members could

PRAISE WORK.
Praise from Mr.. Dobson of the work
of Secretary Henderson and praise OF
the work of Mr.. Dobson. by repre-
sentative of the lay membership mark
ed the meeting. Mr.. Dobson then
stated he didn't care about turning thu
meeting into any mutual praise asso-
citation" but that he would like to add
word for the directorate. His re-
marks were supplemented by members
present, notably J. o. Walker. In his
opening speech, Mr. Dobson briefly
summed up the excellent work of the
agricultural committee.
Several suggestions for future work
were made, one member present stat
ing that any of the Escambia county
lands not now under cultivation would
yield $25 an acre net If planted in

beans, cowpeas and such things II
sent to Liverpool, he said, they could
be sold at price the South American
growers cannot touch and net the
profit named. The speaker stated
such crops have the advantage Of be-
| ing natural soil-improvers, the ground
getting better with each crop of them
raised.
Another speaker advocated the
bringing here of factories, stating that
one manufacturing plant employing Sc
men is of infinitely more value to the
city than all the coal shipped througS

TELLS HOW He TOOK
ARCHBOLD'S LETTERS
Former EmpIoye of Standard Oil is a
Witness Before Committee Investi-
eating Campaign Contributions.
By AssOCIATED Press.

Washington, JAM 14.-WiIliam w.
Wingfeld, of Chicago, formerly en-
ployed by the Standard Oil Company
as a messenger, today told the senate
campaign fund investigating commit
tee how he and another employe
named Stump took from the desk of
John D. Archbold, of the Standard Oil
Company, two letters and disposed of
them for $1,000 each. He also told of
selling a copy of a telegram for 81, 900
and lending two copy books of letters
for which $500 was paid. OF the
amounts received WINFIELD said he
received one-third. WINFIELD could
not recall the contents OF the two let
tiers or the kilograms, to whom they
were addressed or the signatures at
tached. He said that the letters were
taken in the fall of 1904 and published
in the New York American.
WINFIELD testified in 1904 he was
employed by the Standard Oil Com
pany in New York as a messenger and
Stump, he said, was employed as a file
clerk. WINFIELD said that in the au-
| tumn of 1904, after reading in the New
York American regarding certain tele-
grams sent to some one in Washington
he spoke to Stump and another Office
boy named Frank Morrill, employed in
Mr.. Archbold's Office.
'Morrill said he knew Of a tele-
gram and he said he would let US see
| It," said WINFIELD. "a couple of days
later he showed it to us. 1 made a
copy Of 1t and put it in the hands OF
Stump and he disposed Of 1t. 1t came

Another Case of
Contempt of Court.

Some time ago Col. Theodore Roose-
welt sent out a public message over the
wires denouncing the action of the SUI
preme court of Idaho in its decision
regarding the Roosevelt electors.
This high and mighty tribunal forbade
the newspapers Of Idaho to publish the
celonel's message.
The Boise, Idaho, morning newspa-
Per obeyed the ukase. The afternoon
newspaper, receiving the message in
the regular way in it's usual news SER
vice, regarded 1t. as legitimate news
end printed 1t, just as any other item
of news. The court regarded this as
lese majestic and fined the publisher,
the managing editor, and another
member of the staff $500 each and sent
them to Jail for ten days.
That is all there is to the narrative
except that these men who print the
biggest and most progressive newspa-
per in the state. receive thousands of
letters and kilograms from all over the
country and the walls Of the Jail are
banked in flowers.
When the courts of the country make
decisions that demand respect. the
courts deserve respect and usually get
it. Whether the cratic and spectac-
ular ex-president was right in his
criticism does not enter into the case
The public utterance Of former and
extremely popular president, when sem
out over the wires of a reputable pres.
agency, is an item of proper and legiti.
mate rews and should be printed.
1t light be added that the news.
paper in question has always beer
strongly democratic and at this dis
tance, it looks as if the supreme court
of Idaho had usurped little power
not delegated in the constitution of the
United States or of any individual
state.

It was to be expected that Gov. Park
Trammell would, right in the begin
ming, advocate the abolition OF the bar
barous and inhuman convict lease sys-
tenn. It has been blot on the state
long enough and no excuse exists for
its longer continuance. The legisla-
ture can easily devise some means to
make the change without any percept
ible effect on the finances Of the state
government. Two or three methods OF
utilizing the services of the convicts
have been suggested and perhaps the
best and easiest is to work them on the
public roads. AT any rate the roads OF
the state need the work and in this
climate the men can be kept at 1t all
the year round.
