The infinite gives to no man happi-

Edge6eld women, proverbialll

THREATENS TO SUE CITY
FOR LOSS OF ARTICLES

If J. w. Wilson, of McKinnonvilie,
holds to mis- present intentions, as ex-
pressed in a letter received by the
Pensacola police department, the city
will be the defendant in a suit for
damages and he will be the plaintiff
the threatened action being the result
of the alleged failure on the part of
the city to return. to Wilson the sum
of five cents, a pocket knife and a pint
of whiskey.
In a letter received yesterday signed
by Wilson he says that unless the five
cents, pocketbook and Lint of whiskey
are returned to him he will bring suit
to recover damages.
The police records show that Wilson
was arrested on December IS and
fined. The sum of seventy cents, a
pocket knife and one pint of whiskey
were taken from him when he was
searched AZ the police station, but in
returning the money, after he paid his
fine, only sixty-five cents was given
to him.
wilson was offered another pint of
whis5ey in place of the one taken
from him, but he refused it because ii
was not the same brand of liquor as
that which he left at the station He
told the Gesk sergeant that it was a
special brand and that he would not
accept a s. stitute.

HOMER WILSON
TO SPEAK HERE
NOTED LECTURER WILL BE AT
THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH
TOMORROW NIGHT.

Homer T. Wilson, one Of the noted
lecturers of the country, will deliver
one of his lectures at the First Chris
tian church Sunday night. and it Is
expected that many will hear him. Mr..
Wilson Is an orator far above the or
binary and has been praised by men
high in public life, among them being
Champ Clark and r. P. Hobson.
OF him Robert J. Burdette says:
"Once in a long while-not very
often-there steps out upon the plat
form a man whom it does the audience
good to look at, and before he begins to
speak. A man whom people instinc-
lively warm to- whom they just know
to be a man by the pofse of his head,
by the soldierly build Of him, and by
the way he looks at them. And when
he speaks they see they were correct
in their diagnosis; he is a man, and
man who has something to say that
other men want to hear, which they
must hear. And there are the convic-
lions back Of the words that give them
power, q certain tenderness in the
voice that gives them music, and the
man behind the lecture that gives 1t
sincerity. That's Homer T. Wilson.
No wonder people go to hear him"

will be Of great value to the city of
Pensacola in informing the shipping
world of the steps taken to provide
improved terminal facilities for the
convenience and encoura cement of
shipping. Their report will be given
credence by engineers Of national and
international reputation and railroads
and industries seeking terminals and
locations will be attracted here.
Scientific publications and trade jour-
nails, magazines, and the press gen.
orally will give 1t publicity and so at
tract new business to this city. Such
a plan will meet the more favorable
approval of the government engineers
in future recommendations for harbor
improvements of this port. In fact, it
was expected that we might secure one
or more Of the board by detail from
the United States engineering corps.
We are not building these improve
ments primarily to take care of bust
ness, but to attract business. To do
that we must have the best and most
modern equipment. We must not do
as we have done for twenty years.
That is what we are trying to get
away from. We want something new,
10th in design and equipment. The
fight was made for proper facilities,
and 1t won. We oppose any plan that
would practically nullify the prospect
Of large results therefrom. The bond
trustees want to wait for business
We want to go after it. They consider
their knowledge sufficient. We want
a plan based on the best trained tech
meal knowledge and experience. No
other policy seems to US wise, econom-
ical or business-like. Such a plan will
be worth what it costs, and more.

TAMPA PAYS TO
GET BALL CLUB
WILLsTURN OVER $4,000 TO THE
CUB MANAGEMENT TO SECURE
THAT TEAM FOR SPRING TRAIN.
ING.

The citizens Of Tampa have sub
scribed $4,000 In order to secure the
Chicago Cubs for spring training at
that place, according to the following
special from Chicago to the Sporting
News:
Tampa has been officially selected
as the spot In Florida to be tried out
as a training camp by the Cubs this
year. That fact, long suspected, was
officially vouched for by c. VI Murphy
on his return from a trip of inspec-
ton. Along with said voucher was
promulgated another to the effect that
good people Of Tampa had raised $4,000
to defray the expenses of the Cubs
while advertising the Florida resort
'It was bound to come-this con-
version Of a base ball teams advertis-
ing value into cash-and so far as
known the Cub boss was first to put
it into concrete form. There may have
been subsidies along the same line, in
different form, in the training arrange
ments OF major league clubs in pre-
vious years, but this is the first deal
of it's kind that we can recall.
Definite plans for the Cub trip have
not gone much farther than fixing the
place and the price. The time of de-
parture has been set tentatively for
February Is, but awaits the o. K of
Manager Evers, who has been sum-
moned from Troy to talk over the trip
and complete its arrangements"

SEAPORT
CITIES EMPLOY
BOARD TO PLAN
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION d.
REcToRATE TELL WHY THEY
THINK PENSACOLA SHOULD
HAVE DESIGNING BOARD.

Declaring that no important con-
struction work should be undertaken
without q plan and that builders in
other seaports have employed design
ing boards to work out their terminal
systems, the board of directors Of the
Pensacola Commercial Association yes
terday took further action toward Sc
curing the adoption Of their proposed
manner Of handling the dock construc-
ton.
It was the last meeting OF the d.
rectorate prior to the annual meeting
of the association to be held next
Tuesday and they agreed upon and
sent as a communication to The Jour-
nal the several reasons why they have
asked the board of bond trustees and
city council. by resolution, to have the
docks and belt line railroad. as well as
the plans for future, drawn by a de-
signing board comprising three experts
in terminals construction.
The communication:
Editor Pensacola Journal
The reasons why the directors Of the
Pensacola Commercial Association ia
vor the selection of a designing board
to make harbor and dock plan for
the city or PENSACOLA are:
We hold that no important construc-
ton work should be undertaken with
out a plan, prepared under the direc-
ton Of competent designing architects.
The proposed designing board were to
be the architects of the belt railway
terminal and harbor plans for Pensa-
cola.
A survey of the trade territory and
harbor plan were advocated as es-
sential to a dock plan, because an in
telligent dock and belt railway plan
cannot be made without considering
their relation to the industries. dock,
and railway facilities of the town, and
the commerce likely to use same.
The desire of the directors is that
a plan be adopted before any money
authorized under the bond issue be
used for construction purposes The
board should consist of experienced
engineers. because a thorough technical
knowledge and wide experience are es-
sential, as well as an acquaintance
with the most modern practice in dock
and railway construction and equip
nent.
Other Ports Have Done So.
Other ports have employed similar
UOdIQS 1OI OSS4SAAAAS tdAOOA CCN SjpP~
ment and Improvement, such as Port
Isnd, Ore, Los Angeles. Cal. Jackson
VILE, Fla, Baltimore, Md. New York
n. Y, Boston. Mass, and Montreal,
Canada. We have letters from the
hest authorities in the country, advo-
eating such a plan as we have sug-
gested. We shall publish these from
time to time.
While the directors know that the
bond trustees have the authority to
expend this money, under the approval
of the city council, 1t was not thought
that they would necessarily desire to
assume the responsibility and to take
the time, or that they had the neces-
sary technical knowledge and eNpe-
rience, to prepare a harbor and dock
plan for Pensacola. which viii include
! the drafting of the plans for the rail-
road. docks. charts showing the loca-
ton of industries, engineers esti-
| mates. etc.
The directors favor the employment
of eminent authorities to constitute the
| designing board, because their report
