dressed the bankers, his line of talk
being Banking as a Business this
naturally was the address OF the occa-

In the selection of officers for the
ensuing year, Mr.. A. E. Mann, of Flo

group eight.
The occasion would not have been
complete Without show Of Florala's
far famed hospitality. So all other
matters having been properly disposed
of, the visitors, all Florala bankers
and their assistants and a number OF
business men of the community were
entertained with a big banquet at the
Colonia. hotel, on Thursday night.
1t was one of the hapniest occasions
in the whole history of the town, says
a local paper, and it must be true, as
1t was a very merry crowd that as
sembled. and T. H. Edney, OF the Coz
ionial. proved himself equal to the
occa sion. Robert Taylor, secretary of
the Industrial League, acted as toast
master. The speeches were shore ane
pithy.

The kidneys are subject to catarrh the

The catarrh may be slight, causing
only an Insignificant change in the
function of the kidneys. The catarrh
may be severe, producing a condition

How any rational creature is going
TO explain such a cure as that except
by giving great credit 20 Peruna as an
excellent medicine, how It can be ex-
planned in any other way cannot pos

medicine and is constantly making
great cures. Those who think other

their error by talking with people who
have used it.

ELECTRICITY

Electrical science through the genius
Of It's great inventors, Edison, West
ingthouse, Thomson, Brush, Bell, Stein
metz, Marconi and many others, has
contributed to the progress and happi-
ness of mankind to a degree difficult
to comprehend.
1t has been in part harnessed to hu-
man service through the discovery of
the governing laws by keen minded in
ventors and its technical nature has
attracted and made necessary the SUI
pervision of engineers to such a de-
gree that its benefits to mankind have
not been as actively made known as
in older and simpler business.
For this reason commercial men in

DANIELS
WRITES WOLFE
RECALLS AN AcoUAINTANcEsHIP
WHICH BEGAN TWELVE YEARS
AGo-WILL LOOK CAREFULLY
INTO PENSACOLA NAVY YARD
PROPOSITION.

Away back in 1900, twelve years be-
fore the Baltimore convention, when
progressive democrats were not so
numerous as they are today, Judge
J. Emmett Wolfe formed the acquaint-
ance of Josephus Daniels, now secre-
tary Of the navy. They were both
delegates to the Kansas City conven-
ton, where Mr.. Bryan received his
second nomination, and both. then as
now, of the progressive faith.
In common with all Pensacolians,
Judge Wolfe is greatly interested in
the hoped for opening Of the Pensa-
cola Navy Yard, and he was conse-
quently greatly pleased when Mr.. DAN
iels was appointed secretary of the
navy. He consequently wrote the sec
rotary, congratulating him on his ap-
pointment and expressing the hope
that the Pensacola yard, which was
arbitrarily closed by the republican
administration, might be re-opened for
active work. Yesterday, Judge Wolfe
received the following letter from Sec
rotary Daniels:
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY,
Washington, April IS, 1913.
My dear Mr.. Wolfe:
I remember Of meeting you very
pleasantly at the convention at Kan
sas City in 1900. and was glad to hear
from you again.
Relative to the re-opening of the
Pensacola navy yard, assure you that
I am going to investigate the situa-
ton very carefully. 1t will give me
much pleasure to see you when 1 reach
Pensacola.
With cordial regards,
Sincerely yours,
JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
j. E. Wolfe, Esq, Pensacola, Fla.
1t is evident that Secretary Daniels
intends. looking into the Pensacola
situation very carefully and Pensaco-
lians will trust that he may find it ad-
visable to open the Pensacola yard for
the work which 1t was originally in
tended.

A conference between the three city
commissioners and the heads of the de-
partments was held at the city hall
last night at o'clock for the considera-
tion of further retrenehments in the ex-

last night was for the purpose of seeing
whether or not some still further re-
trenchment could not be made in the diff

ously decreasing the efficiency of the de-
partment.
What was done at the conference, if
anything, was withheld last night. Every
department head and the three commits
sioners were present Some announce
ment, if any is to be made, may be ex-

Milton Gakais, a chauffeur, was fined

SIX months at hard labor by Judge w e.

They are now beginning to understand
that she is really their very own and
that the only right the city of Birming-

is that of providing her with food and
shelter.
The little ones try to keep her well
supplied with peanuts, but she has an
enormous appetite and they find it hard
to bring enough to satisfy her ladyship.
When the children give all their peanuts
they begin to pull grass and bring 1t to
her feet and watch her eat it with huge
delight.

Through State Senator Hugh Morrow,
the city commission and the Chamber
of Commerce are endeavoring to have
every one of the members of the leg
islature from this county present at
the meeting when the extra session
movement will be discussed. Mr. Nor
row states that he believes practically
every man will be there.
The extra session movement in Bir-
mingham has assumed grim, deter
mined, ominous aspect in the last few
days that is very noticeable. The i'm
preston seems almost universal that
fhere Is going to be an extra session.
It is known that a large majority of
the members of the legislature have
placed themselves on record as favor
ing the proposed extra session. The city
commissioners and others who are lead
ing this second fight for an extra ses-
sion to give financial and Legislative
relief to Birmingham believes they can
convince the governor of the necessity
of what they are asking for.
They state, however. and make no
secret of it. that If all efforts and
prayers to the governor fail they have
a last resort in which they have not
the slightest doubt--a calling of the
extra session by two-thirds vote Of the
members of the legislature.
Much interest Is being attached to
the mass meeting at the Chamber OF
Commerce this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock.
Something definite is expected as a
result and further steps depend upon
Its outcome.

TO EIGHT-HOUR SHIFTS

Friday morning the police department
will be returned to the eight-hour shift
plan,' stated City Commissioner A. O.
Lane last night There will be no in
crease in the number OF men employed
on the force, but each patrolman will be
obliged to cover a little more territory
on his beat.
Il have decided upon this move. be-

of the force without increasing the ex-
penses.'
The police department is now work
ing on a 12-hour shift system. which was
inaugurated about month ago 1t has
been very disadvantageous in many ways

DANCERS VISIT is
WORRYING JUDGE LANE

Judge Lane, city commissioner looked
troubled yesterday, and when questioned
frankly admitted that there was a woman
in the case"
From the consideration of the material,
Judge Lane has been suddenly thrust into
deep consideration of what silly un-
dergraduate would probably call the sub
lime" His attention has been suddenly
switched from street railway franchises
to feminine clothes, and the venerable
commissioner visibly showed the shock to
his nervous system
The clothes of nimble Miss Gertrude
Hoffman-or rather the lack of them
have caused President Thomas p. Hay of
the Presbyterian Pastors union Mrs. c..
p. Orr and others to protest against Ger
trudes showing her physical develop
ment to the Birmingham public, Mrs. Orr
brought the matter before the city COM
mission, and as usual Judge Lane was the
goat President Ward and Commissioner
Wea herly took one neeting glance at the
pictures of Miss Hoffman in stage cos
tune inclosed in the letter which Mrs.
Orr handed them, then they blushed and
wished the whole thing onto the COM
missioner of public justice. BY way of
explanation it might be stated that Mr..
Ward is a confirmed bachelor and Mr..
Weatherly very susceptible to feminine
charms, and temptations are often pest
met by lodging them.
So it's up to Judge Lane to say whether
or not Miss Hoffman will be allowed to
revue" herself-herself is said advisedly-
before the innocent eyes of Birmingham $
citizenship Friday night. There are also
some posters of Miss Hoffman on the
billboards of the city which are objected
to- Nobody had known it before, but
when it leaked out yesterday that they
were objectionable they drew big crowds
all afternoon.
Judge Lane blushed and said he did not
know what action he would take in the
case when asked for information yester-
day.
At any rate, Miss Hoffman and her
self are assured full house Friday II
the press agent campaign is continued
