COWBOY BALLADRY.
DR.. LOmnx Says Unique Character
VIII Soon Disappear.

pr. John A. Lomax of the University of
Texas concluded his series of lectures on
American balladry Yesterday with two
lectures on cowboy balladry. In the aft
ernoon he gave many examples of cow
boy poetry. These poems show the life
and characte of the cowboy while at
work and at play. They also show his
deeper philosophical side and his
thoughts on religious subjects.
Cowboy Songs" his lecture of last
night, including many examples OF the
songs of this unique figure in American
cited; two of them We're sung one of
them with a yodling chorus.
These songs said the speaker have
sprung up In the southwestern States
Their origin and authorship is uncertain
they have been passed down by word Of
mouth with variations in different States
They have been transmitted by the rowing
cowboys, and have had wide distribution
They were sung on the isolated ranches
where they are often jointly composed
and they are sung on the ranges at night
to keep the cattle from becoming restless
or frightened and stampeding
The songs show the real heart of the
real cowboy. Their chief charm Is theil
direct simplicity They tell of his hopes
and experiences. The grammar is made
by the cowboy, the words are OTTER
coined. The meter is influenced by the
swing of his pony.
A few more years and We shall know
the cowboy no more. lie Will pass with
the big ranches and the long trails and
round-ups. To him more than to the gold
seekers IL due the civilization of thu
West. lie was the pioneer. he drove back
the Indians, he helped wrest land from
Mexico
DR. Lomax has collected many of thes,
songs, mostly from word of mouth. II,
has preserved some of the tunes by us,

MANY COMPLAIN
of MOSQUITOES
MAYORS OFFICE IN RECEIPT OF
COMMUNICATION CONTAINING
STRONG PROTEST OVER AN Al
LEGGED CONDITION.

Many complaints are heard lately
of the latest crop" of mosquitoes in
the northern part of the city, and in
many instances 1t is reported that
where mosquitoes were never generally
known to have existed in very large
quantities, at present are to be found
1hickly, and are of u ''voracious" ma
ture.
The mayors office is in receipt OF a
strong protest concerning the alleged
breeding place in the north clay pit,
and this complaint was turned over
to the health inspectors. Inspector
Gingles lives near the clay pit, and is
authority for the statement that at
least twenty five gallons of oil have
standing water in said excavation.
Prof. B. B. Lane, who lives in that
neighborhood, was one of those who
took the matter up with Mayor Green
hut, and the latter at once acknowl-
edged the professors protest, turning
the matter over to the city physician,
who Is also city health officer. By
the latter the complaint was given to
the inspector of the district and the
latter, who was Inspector Gingles,
promptly took steps to discourage any
further increase in the mosquito popu-
latton in or about the neighborhood
Efforts of the city health department
in this regard are appreciated by the
residents Of that part of the city.

President Will
Ask for Measure
TO Raise War Tax
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. 3-President
Wilson will appear before a joint SEES
sion of congress tomorrow afternoon
at 1890 o'clock to ask for a war tax
measure to raise $780, 600, 900 annually.
This announcement was made today
following a visit of Democratic Leader
Underwood to the White House. In
his message the president will not
suggest means of raising the money.
The president finished his address
and showed 1t today to Mr.. Under
wood.
Mr.. Wilson believes the war tax is
necessary to keep the treasury in a
strong condition and make it unneCes-
sary to call in funds advanced to
banks. He will ask congress to pro-
vide for obtaining the 500 600 in
a way which will be felt least by the
people of the country.
Arrangements were made for joint
session of house and senate. Chair
man Underwood announced that the
ways and means committee would
meet Saturday or Monday. Sugges-
tions for taxes are pouring into the
capitol and White House from every
side.

WARSHIP WAS
REPORTED OFF
PENSACOLABAR
CRUISER SAID TO HAVE BEEN
SIGHTED FOR THE PAST SEW
ERAL MORNINGS BUT NATION
Atty is NOT AscERTAiNED.

A warship, the nationality Of which
was not made out. has been reported
off the bar for the past several days,
quite early in the morning. With the
aid of a glass, 1t is said the ship may
be easily picked up some distance
east of Pensacola light, and just over
the beacon near Town Point.
Several reports have been received
OF the presence of the naval fighter,
one being received yesterday which
stated with positiveness that the
stranger was a German vessel. If that
is the case. there will be some sur
prise occasioned, for it has not been
stated recently in the marine reports
that there are any German warships in
this part of the world.
Boatmen who claim to have seen
the ship in the early morning say that
the vessel goes to sea and disappears
at a very early hour in the morning.
They also claim that the ship comes
to an anchorage within three miles
of the gulf beach, and there remains
for the night.
No official report of the nearness
of such q ship is known to have been
received in Pensacola. On the con-
trary the German consul is without
advices in any particular as TO the al
legged ship in the gulf, but when this
is mentioned TO those who claim TO
have plainly had a view of the vessel,
state with equal positiyeness that a
foreign warship may be seen daily.
and at quite an early hour in the morn
ing.
