MYRTLE SANTAY TAKES SECOND
DOSE OF POISON-MAY DIE

Myrtle Santay has tried suicide
again. She is suffering in the Passa-
want Hospital from the second dose
of poison in a month. =
The girl took some dope in her
room at 81 E. Oak St, in September,
and when removed to the hospital
told a story that caused the arrest of
William c. Sensibaugh, evangelist"
and Bible student connected with the
detective force of the Rev. Elmer L.
Williams.
He and a midwife implicated by
her charges are to appear at the Chi
cago av. court today to. answer her
accusations. Last night the girl
sought to end the trouble by killing
herself.
She tells of threats made against
her by Sensibaugh, who, she claims,
promised to elk" her if she appeared
in court today.
81 am going to end it this time"
she said when she took the poison
last night. The doctors at the hospi-
tai fear that she will succeed.

NAVAL DEFENSE
IS DOMINATING
AMONGSWEOES
ONE OF THE LEADING QUESTIONS
NOW IN SWEDEN Is THE TIME
= OF SERVICE, ESPECIALLY FOR
coNSCRIPTS, IN THE NATIONAL
DEFENSE.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Stockholm, Feb. 1.-The question of
naval defense dominates the political
situation in Sweden. When the pres
ent liberal government came into Of
flee in 1911 1t appointed a special COM
mittee to consider the problem of ma
tional defense. One of the leading
questions was the time Of service for
conscripts, especially infantry, which
is considered on account of the nature
Of the country, the most important
arm OF the Swedish services. The
needs of the navy We're also placed in
the hands Of the commission.
The results Of the hearings have not
been published, but Premier Carl Staff
has announced plans for the fortifica-
tons Of various inlots which form an
important naval station on the coast
Of Norrland, and the building of six
to eight semi-dreadnang well arm
ed and suitable for use in the Swedish
home waters.
This. however has not satisfied the
demands Of the country. Complaint is
made that no plan has been adopted
for Increasing the period of training
for the infantry. and that the demand
for a seaGotng navy has been ignored.
Much of the liberal prose is urging
increased training and the maintenance
or the navy at a standard or twelve
respectable fighting ships. Even the
socialists are veering towards the sup
port Of an increase in the defensive
forces.
The unCovering of several cases Of
Russian espionage has increased the
demand for adequate defense. Even
the rural districts have become ex-
cited over the question and the farm
ers. who are not greatly devoted to the
idea Of CONSUMPTION ordinarily, plan to
gather late this month, $4,000 strong, in
Stockholm, to demand better defensive
arrangements. This meeting will be
the most impressive indication of the
seriousness Of the movement, for these
freehold farmers are the be ckbone Of
the nation.

QUESTION Of
ARMAMENT IN
THE CAMP A|GN
BOTH SIDES TO CONTROVERSY
IN ENGLAND ARE PLANNING
PLATFORMS FOR THOROUGH
EXPOSITION OF THEIR VIEWS.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


London, Feb. Both sides to the
controversy over national ornaments
are planning platform campaigns for
the exposition Of their views. The
National Peace Council which includes
many liberal members OF Parliament,
and is opposing any increase in the
naval estimates, has already held sew
eral meetings. A great demonstration
organized by the committee for the
reduction Of arrnaments is planned at
Queens Hall on February 8, and from
then on the little navyites" will hold
meetings throughout the country.
This Is not the first time that lib
era1 economics have threatened revolt
against the government over the naval
estimates In 1909 & COMMITTEES con-
sisting of IA liberal and labor mem
bers OF parliament started an agitation
against the estimates Of that year On
that occasion Premier Asquith took a
firm stand and the agitation soon died
down. This committee has been re-
vived in the reduction OF ornaments
committee, which already claims q
membership Of 100 liberal members of
parliament The movement has been
given an impetus from the declaration
Of Lloyd George, against the heavy
burden Of armaments.
The other side, however, IS not Idle.
The navy league. a permanent and
influential organization, although lib
erals have sometimes complained Of
political bias on its part, has issued
an appeal to the mayors throughout
Great Britain to assist them in the Or
ganization Of meetings to place the
gravity Of the problem Of naval de-
tense before the people. A manifesto
entitled THE Conspiracy Against Ma
tional Safety" has been issued and
speakers have been appointed to go
through the country urging electors to
impress upon their members the neces-
sity Of maintaining the navy at its
present ratio Of increase.

FIFTEEN PERSONS

three were overturned, one car being
badly shattered. J. G. MCGEE, OF Ar
kansas. suffered serious internal In

THE ANIMAL
HAS ESCAPED
AND THUS VANiSHES THE HOPE
OF A PoSSUM SUPPER WHICH
THE FRIENDS OF TWO WELL
KNOWN CITIZENS HAD LOOKED
FORWARD TO.

A few days ago The Journal con-
tanned a report of a somewhat doubt
full story related by Col. R. r. Raines
and Judge Kirke Monroe about how
they captured with their naked hands
a full grown and ferocious possum as
he was trying to invade the BIount
building one night after dark. Some
of their friends were inclined to dues-
ton the accuracy OF the tale, but to
prove their good faith the captors an
nounced that the possum was to be
fattened up on milk and green's for
a week or so and then served at a
feed to which & small circle Of friends
were rendered a much desired invita-
ton, Col. Raines volunteering to take
charge of the animal and have the
banquet prepared. AS Col Raines
came from Georgia, where possum and
sweet 'taters are esteemed a great
delicacy, this arrangement was deemed
particularly appropriate.
But now comes the announcement
that the possum has escaped OF
course no one would be SO unkind as
TO suggest that the possum did not
escape or that the original story it
self was mostly romance but those
who got the invitation to the feed are
necessarily disappointed over the Sc
quel Of the unusual affair.

GOOD MONTH IN

GOOD MARGIN OVER ONE MIL

LOCAL CONDITIONS DID NOT
SHOW MUCH ACTIVITIES.

Despite many local conditions which
did not show the activities to any
great extent, foreign shipping proved
to have been real active, although no
great amount of timber shipments or
of cotton was noted. Twelve coun-
tries were Pensacola customers dur
ing the first month of the new year,
the total valuations OF the articles ex-
ported being considerably over one
million dolalrs. The largest customers
as usual were Germany and Great
Britain, but neither Of them showed up
as well as had been the case in the
past, while the shipments to France
and Italy fell off considerably.
New business noted, which has of
late been developing, is that going to
the nearby island governments, Haiti
Cuba and San Domingo having proven
good custimers, and an increase over

picking up all along, although several
firms always did q little exporting in
that direction.
