WANTS A PART
OF LAND HELD
BY TWO HEIRS
LEE DANIEL BEGINS SUIT IN
CIRCUIT COURT, CLAIMING He
HAS BIG INTEREST IN WIGeINs'
$4,000 ESTATE.

In an effort to get from the estate
OF the late Cilby L. Virgins property
worth many thousands of dollars, Lee
Daniel has instituted suit in the cir
cult court. The defendants named in
the bill Of complaint filed with Circuit
Court Clerk James Macgibbon, are L.
Hilton Green, Of this city, John L.
Jernigan and Martha Virgins, of Pol
lard, Alabama. The former is said to
have been a partner with Mr.. Virgins
and Mr.. Daniel in a big deal in Pen
sacola realty
According to the allegations of the
bill and an amendment to it filed by
Reeves, Watson and Pasco, attorneys
for the plaintiff, the property which
Mrs. Virgins and Mr.. Jernigan claim.
as heirs, is at present worth a half
million dollars.
1t is the claim Of Mr.. Daniel that
he and Mr.. Green, at the time of the
deal, were co-investors with Mr.. Wig
gins, each contributing one third the
purchase price of the lots. which were
in the East King tract, the Belmont
tract, the Peterson addition and else
where. For convenience, he says, they
agreed that Mr.. Virgins should appear
as the purchaser and hold full title
when the lots were decided over by
George w. Wright.
When Cilby Virgins died, in 1910,
he had made no provision for what Mr..
Daniel claims wbuld be fair appor-
tionment of the property and he now
seeks to recover the third interest,
which he claims is his.

The Rule
Of Seniority.

Nothing perhaps will hamper the
usefulness Of the coming congress
more than the rule of seniority that
has for so long a time obtained in
making committee appointments. Its
svil effects have been felt in the senate
more than in the house Of representa-
lives. Regardless Of the character or
the ability Of senator. the chairman
ship OF committee has always gone
to the man who has served longest on
the committee. Thus a senator's in
Huence and power in congress depends
very largely on the length OF time he
has<held Office.
Doubtless all this system Of seniority
In committee appointments was evolved
with the single purpose in view of
protecting senator's and representa-
tives in their jobs. 1t affords them a
fne argument to use at home in favor
OF their own reelection. That seems
to be the sole use OF the rule.
To a certain extent the result of the
last election and the revolution that
led up to it. would be nullifed by
giving all the important committee

Distance certainly does lend en-
chantment. The good times of long
ago that some people pirate about
enjoy the advantage of being long
ways off. The remoteness of these
times in history has enveloped them
in an celebrating haze. The passage
of years has hidden all hut the roman
tic and picturesque parts. We are too
apt to forget the bigotry, the avarice,
the poverty, the license. the miscar-
riage of justice of olden days. The
world is getting better than it was.
This country is improving and times
In Florida are better than they used
to be. The people of this state started
out this year under better conditions
Than they ever faced tefore.

ROMME[ SAYS
CONNECTIONS
MADE BY HIN
SAYS MAKING TWO SANITARY
CONNECTIONS TO STORM SEW
Err ON WRIGHT STREET WILL
NOT CAUSE ANY TROUBLE.

The two sanitary sewer connections
made to the storm sewer on East
Wright street, near Tarragona, were
made under the direction of George
Rommel Jr., engineer for the board Of
bond trustees, this information be-
ing conveyed to the board of public
works at it's meeting yesterday evening
at o'clock in a communication from
Engineer Rommel to Plumbing Inspec-
tor George Hinrichs to whom the
board at a former meeting referred the
matter for investigation.
Engineer RommePs letter to Inspec-
tor Hinrichs, which was on motion of
Mr.. Schad laid over until the next
meeting, is as follows:
Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 1. 1913.
Mr.. Geo. H. Hinrichs, Plumbing In
spector, Pensacola.
Replying to your communication of
January 2sth relating to sewer con-
nections on East Wright street, near
Tarragona street, 1 beg to state that
these two connections were made with
the storm sewer under my direction.
These two properties were originally
connected with the sanitary sewer on
the north side Of Wright street prior
to the laying Of the pavement on
Wright street and prior to the build
ing Of the storm sewer under the Cur
ley contract. AS you know the storm
sewer in this street is five feet in di-
ameter and in constructing this sewer
these connections were found to be at
such an elevation that the only posi-
bly, way to take care of them, without
tearing up the pavement on both sides
of the grass plot in Wright street, and
remodeling the plumbing in the houses
was to connect them up, temporarily
at least, with the storm sewer. There
is a sanitary sewer on the south side
of Wright street which is privately
owned, but which should be taken over
by the city At such time as the city
acquires the right to this sewer, these
connections can be attached thereto.
These two connections can never

feeble power to abstruct. But there
Is little doubt that Ireland will be
granted home rule in few years, at
farthest.
Meanwhile the power and influence
