LETTER ALSO
WAS DELAYED
CONGRESSMAN WILSON WRITES
LETTER BEARING DATE OF OCT.
2, BUT PosTMARkED OCT. TO-
BAD SERVICE IN WASHINGTON
PosToFFIcE.

Received in Pensacola yesterday,
after Congressman Wilson's recon-
mendation for postmaster had been
made, was a letter from him ac-
knowledging receipt of a telegram sent
at the time the petition Of more than
1900 white democrats was mailed to
him.
Congressman Wilson's letter reads as
follows:
A Long Delayed Letter.
IT am in receipt of your telegram Of
the 1st inst, signed by yourself and
others, in regard to holding primary
for the nomination of a postmaster at
Pensacola. I have not fully decided
whether l will hold a primary or not.
The long delay in recommending some
one for the position of postmaster has
been due to the fact that I had ho$ed
to return home before making any
recommendation"
This letter by Congressman Wilson
is dated Oct. 2, but the Washington
post mark on the envelope containing
it shows Oct. 10-8 p. m" This was
on Saturday night and his recommen-
dation was made on Monday morning
Like his recommendation for the
appointment, the congressmans mail
also seems to have been delayed. The
Washington postoff1ce service is evil

Japanese at Port Arthur will be neces-

Such an outlet is offered by the
German possessions in New Guinea
and the Caroline Islands, as well as
other holdings in the South Pacific,
and there is little question that Japan
will demand these as her share of the

HANDSOME NEW
Street SIGNS
MAYOR GREENHUT RECEIVES
SAMPLE OF WORK OF MANU-
FACTURER, WITH NAMES OF

oUGHFARES.

Mayor Greenhut yesterday received
from the New York manufacturers a
sample of the new metallic street cor
ner sign which is being generally
adopted throughout the country. The
manufacturer had been in correspon-
dence with the mayor for some time,
with a view of furnishing the signs
here, just like he has been doing in
other up-to-date cities. Mayor Green
hut did not think the finances war
ranted the purchase of the street mark
ings just yet and informed the manu-
facturer to that effect. That latter,
however, said that he was going 20 pre-

terday the crisis cross sign, which will
mark the corner Of Palafox and Gar
den streets was received. This will
be erected probably near the San Carlos
corner, although the iron pole eleva-
ton had not reached the mayor yes
terday. Mayor Greenhut thought these
markings to corners were very tasty
and entirely in keeping with the citys

as to the purchase of any right at this
time.

A Jacksonville
Protest Is Filed.

An organization styled the 'F1orids
Federation Of Women's Clubs" with
headquarters at Jacksonville, has
mailed a letter addressed ito all the
tax payers of Florida" in which the
proposal to erect a state laboratory
building at Pensacola is attacked.
We are not informed as to just what
this Florida Federation OF women's
Clubs" includes, nor whether or not II
has any afdEated members in West
Florida Neither are we informed AS
to whether or not the members outside
of Jacksonvt11e-if there are such
members-have been consulted about
tbs protest which has been issued from
the Jacksonville headquarters.
But 1t is easy to understand, If the
organizations policy is directed from
Jacksonville, just what is behind the
protest.
Jacksonville has a state laboratory
building; 50 has Tampa. No protest
was made when those buildings were
erected. No protest is ever made when
S4ASNu4nS AS prOpoSCO 70 0S OOho 1ot
Jacksonville.
But let West Florida ask for some
thing, and the hog-it-alI spirit which
exists in certain sections of the state
Immediately manifests itself.
Pensacola is the metropolis of the
great and growing section of West
Florida 1t is the logical place for a
state laboratory building designed to
serve West Florida. West Florida ia
vors the erection of the building IN
Pensacola and West Florida is entitled
to that consideration in the case which
the state board of health proposes to
accord her by the erection of West
Florida laboratory building.
The state board of health has or
dered this building. Pensacola has
donated a 100000 site for it. The
plans have been accepted. The coil
tract has been let. The building viii
be erected.
And the Florida Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs ought to be in better
business than trying to knock an
enterprise for a section of the state
which probably not one out of so of the
clubs members ever visited or knows
anything about.

INSANE DARKEY
At GULL POINT
THE ACTIONS OF A BLACK MAN
ALARMED RESIDENTS OF SET
ELEMENT IN EASTERN PART OF
COUNTY, AND COMPLAINT WAS
MADE.

An alleged insane darkey, who
managed to give his name as Jacob
Martin, threw much of fright into
the settlement known as Gull Point
yesterday and the night before, by
his actions. He had been noticed hang
ing around houses in the neighborhood
and some of tho women and children
made complaint about the negroes
presence. Some of the men about
there chased the darkey away from one
or two places, and when he became per-
sistent and continued to offer his un-
desired presence on the town, the
sheriff's Office was called up and Depu-
ties Byrd and Green made the trip out
to Gull Point, finding the offending
darl<ey and bringing him to town. He
managed to say that he lived on Reus
street, but no one has been found who
will acknowledge acquaintanceship. He
is held on lunacy charge.

DARKEY SAID HE
PAID FINE TO MAN

A negro named Henderson. arrested
at $50 o'clock yesterday by Officer
Yniestra on charge Of contempt of
court, made the interesting statement
at the station that he had paid fine
of Sc and had paid it to a man who
came for it.
The statement was made by the ne
gro just before he was locked up It
the station, and it caused some interest.
Should there be any ground for his
claim, it is likely somebody will find
an interesting situation in early store
for him. The allegation was heard oy
