ished In their proportion, and were. in
1912, but As per cent OF the total. In
1913, however, their percentage was
slightly larger, TAO per cent, due to
heavy exports of that article.
Foodstuffs partly or wholly manu-
featured show a less rapid decline.
especially during the period from 1900
to 1900. when there was but little
change, the average share which they
formed OF the total export being about
20 per cent.
In the early part Of the present cen :
fury, however. the sudden decline in
the available supply Of meats for ex-
portation reduced rapidly the share
which this group. foodstuffs wholly or
partly manufactured. formed of the
total. this share having fallen from
24.26 per cent in 1902 to 1928 per cent
in 1913. The share which crude ma
terials form of the total exports has
remained practically stationary, hav-
ing been in 1880, 2s.ss per cent and in
1913. 3o.1 per cent.
In both manufactures for further use
in manufacturing and manufactures
ready for consumption, the advance has
been continuous, both in total value
and in the percentage which the re-
spective groups form OF the total ex-
ports. The share which manufactures

OF the grand total of domestic ex-
ports was, In 1880, s.52 per cent and in
1913, 1888 per cent; and that of fin

negroes, but in moments Of more rea-
sonable talk, he says he murdered four
negroes, in the state Of Georgia. He
is wanted in Bradentown, however,
for the murder Of the white man.
Soon after being placed in a cell
in the county Jail, Gill appeared at
ease. Being awake and on the train
all the night before. he was tired out
and before breakfast had been served
he was ready to take a nap. Eating
heartily Of what had been served at
the county for the morning meal, he
soon afterward dropped off to sleep,
and until late in the afternoon was
undisturbed. After his confession to
the New Orleans policeman, whom he
met on the street. he seemed to be
relieved of a great deal of worrying.
He may stay here a week or the sheriff
of Manatee county may be here to-
night for him. There Is no reason to
doubt his own story, but 1t was
stated at the county Jail that a party
from Bradentown who knew Gill. and
who will be brought here to identify
him, may come on with the expected
officer.
Gill, the records show, made his es-
6, 1912, and since then has been dodg-
ing and ducking, all over the south.
Finally, after going from place to
place, he landed in New Orleans. and
1t was then. according to his state
ments, that he decided to lease con-
science and stop ducl1ing.'
He said that he had killed a white
man named James Fletcher at Brad
entown. Fla, in December, 1908, and
that he subsequently had killed four
negroes near Fargo, Ca He says that
his home Is in St. Petersburg, Fla, and
that, in addition to his remorse OF
conscience, had surrendered to the first
policeman he found after making up
his mind to give up. because "he was
tired and wanted to see his mothers
and sisters He also claims that his
father was at one time chief Of police
of Tampa, but this part Of his story
is yet unsubstantiated. Telling OF his
actual escape, he said that, after be-
ing sent up for life from Manatee
county for the killing Of James
Fletcher. he had made his escape from
the penitentiary at Live Oak, where
he had been sent for the murder re-
ferred to.

The closing exercises Of the year

a certificate graduation events have

late against these things: It is the
work of the boys and girls who par
ttcipate and in whom a sentiment for
the preservation of the true high
school spirit must be created. Sim
plicity in exercises, simplicity in dress
with no parade Of costly gifts and
other non-essential should charact
ize commence exercises in all public
schools"
In speaking Of the sororities and
fraternities. Mr.. Grathouse said:
Secret societies under whatever
guise. have no place in the public
schools. where nothing that savors of
class distinction should find place.
Our public schools are the most dem
ocratic institutions that we have.
They differ from private schools, from
colleges and in universities in their
spirit and interest and the practice Of
bringing into them the necessary &C
coGnpany1ng customs of such insti-
tutions makes a sort of hybrid that is
difficult to describe and define"

ADVOCATES CONSTRUCTION OF
BELT LINE AND CITY DOCK

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The Journals editorial, Thursday
March 26. suggesting the value of i'm
provement bonds as an investment, is
very timely; for If there is a COM
munity which needs some kind OF an
agitation to "shoo" away the bette
noir of false economy, and to gather
the "skeery Willyums" out of the
dark, this - the community.
1t is to be lamented that so much
time has elapsed since the bonds were
authorized for the belt line and wharf
and that Pensacola is not now enjoy
ing the benefit which will-yes, must
follow their construction.
At the present time. there are sew
eral conditions surrounding shipping
facilities on our bay front, which rem
der a municipality owned wharf al

crease the export trade of Pensacola
conditions which will be rapidly ad-
justed when the wharf is an estab-
lished institution.
In an article in your esteemed pa
per on June 80, last, the writer
touched on some conditions which
are keeping Pensacola behind and
which are preventing Pensacola from
taking her place in the forefront of
the great exporting cities of the coun-
try.
Without wishing to appear caustic
or cynical, but with only the most
kindly interest in the welfare and flu
ture prosperity of the city, let me en-
phasize that the all important, self
satisfied spirit which has seemed to
dominate this old town is tommy
rot" and so far behind the actual
requirements of today as to be ludi-
crous.
1t hardly seems possible that any
one is so absolutely narrow-mind-
ed as to see only the dollar which is
in plain sight and not be able to re-
cognize the edge of the dollar which
appears just at the turn of the road.
But that seems to be the difficulty,
just now.

by G. 3. Dalton, declaring false the
testimony he gave against Franks
character. Dalton. at the trial, testi-
fed that the defendant had been guilty
of misconduct with several women,
corroborating statements of Conley in
this respect. DR.. H. r. Harris, in an
affidavit, alleges that a microscopic
examination of strands of hair said
to have been found on the second floor
of the factory, and used at the trial to
prove that the murder occurred near
Franks Office, showed that these
strands were not from the head OF the
murdered girl.
Three af1dav1ts allege that the am
ants saw Frank on a street here gbe-
tween 1 and 10 p. m. on April 26 last
the time at which Conley testified he
was helping the factory superintend-
ent conceal Mary Phagan's body in the
factory basement.
An attempt is made in several affi-
davits to show that the two notes dis
covered in the factory basement had
been written on faded carbon copies
of used order blanks, discarded and
placed In the basement many months
before the murder. Affiants declare
that such blanks had not been in
Franks Office, where Conley testified
he obtained the paper upon which the
notes were written. for four years.
Faint carbon tracings on one OF the
notes is alleged to be the signature
OF former empioye OF the factory
who worked in a room some distance
removed from the superintendent Of
fee.

detectives and legal representatives of

and at times the battle extended into
the leading streets Of Torreon proper.
Villa predicts that he will have the
latter city by Saturday or Sunday.
A PfTiABLE INCIDENT.
A pitiable incident of the battle
was the disabled wounded crying for
water the lack of which was as dead
~ Is bullets.
The meagre hospital corps, consist
ing of a half dozen wagons did heroic
work but was unable to cope with the
situation. It was the first time in re-
cent Mexican revolutions that the flag
of the Red Cross has been seen in a
Rebel army.

his neck as in his bandit days. Cen
eral Villa, among the ragged, thirsty,
half famished soldiers who have
fought day and night for the capture
of Torreon. was a conspicuous figure.
The conventional notice of a COM
handing general directing a campaign
through field glasses and with a map
before him found no illustration in
Villa. Instead he climbed over the
rocky hills or crept among the mes
quite bushes to tell the men at what
points to fire. His principal activ-
ity was that OF a scout but his pres
ence never failed to inspire the SOL
diers.
The Rebels fought amid scenes Of
;ntense suffering. Water was scarce
and was supplied only from tanks
hauled on freight cars at the rear. Ra-
lions had become unavailable after the
first days fighting, for the battle was
too continuous to permit the men to
retire for food.
With nothing behind them but q
desert and before them only the en-
envy. the Rebels fought, unaffected by
the scattered heaps of dead and the
wounded.
General villa, during pauses in the
firing, talked confidently of the fall
of Torreon. He did not place him
self, however. among those who be-
lieve the capture of Torreon would
spell the collapse of the Huerta re-
gime but intimated rather that he ex-
pected Huerta to fight on until pos
sibly Rebel forces surrendered Mex
leo City.

will do" said General Villa hopping
the dust from his face as he sat on
his horse, 1--WE. will establish our mil

If informant given out at military
headquarters here today is correct the
Rebel attack on Torreon is being
made today. 1t was stated that GEN
eral Herrera had captured the Tor
reon bull ring in the northern edge
of the city. General Angeles was said
to be directing heavy artillery fire
on the Federal garrison from the
north.

The Private Affairs
OF the President.

President wilson has Let it be
known that he is very much dfspleas-
Cd with the disposition OF certain
newspaper correspondents to attempt
TO pry into ana NEEDLE with affairs
that concern himself and family: af-
fairs that are regarded. as a general
rnla. M sacred. He has animated
that unless such conduct ceases he
win feel compelled to exclude the cor
respondents of the offending papers
from hfs confidence.
Perhaps there has never been a
president who has dealt more frank
" with the public. through newspa-
per reporters. than has President
Wilson. His candor and frankness
has been quite refreshing. and he has
made little attempt to conceal public
affairs from the newspapers, except
I'm one or two Instances where the
public good demanded It.
The president has not specified the
particular offense or offenses at
which he feels agsrieved. or which he
thinks should not have been pub
Mshed and which he says were grossly
exaggerated and some times untrue.
But there Is suspicion that one
thing to which he has reference is
the statement that has been very
broadly published that Mrs. Wilson,
the wife OF the president, objects
a&y ell 81 k1aM
her daughter. Miss Eleanor, to VIM.
McAdoo. owing to the disparity OF
age between the two. Mr.. McAdoo is
In % years old while his intended
bride is only %. He is a widower with
six children, one OF them a grown
daughter and the chum OF her future
step-naother. 1t is not known that
this is what caused the president to
make the statement that he has made,
but 1t is possible that 1t is one of the
causes.
It is impossible TO keep attention
from being directed toward the pri-
vate affairs Of those who are pronni-
nent In life and this is one OF the
penalties that a man pays for being
president or being great. Neverthe-
less he and his family are entitled
to some consideration, and reports Of
the character mentioned. especially
when untrue, are necessarily annoy
ing. r. In one OF the businesses of
the public to concern itself in the
love affairs OF the presidents daugh-
Ter. II she is satisfied that she can
be happy with Mr.. McAdoo. that ought
to settle 1t. The secretary likes a
whole lot yet Of being an old man. He
Is vigorous and growing in promI-
hence ELL the time. Besides some peo-
pie are as old In their ways at "a
as others are at 81. Mr.. McAdoo is
a young man in all his tastes and
aspirations. He is well-off in his
worlds goods and there does not ap-
pear to be any real reason why the
couple should not be happy. At least
the whole country will trust that this
will be the outcome.
Mean time. consideration for the
feelings OF those prominent in the
world. especially as concerns their
private affairs. should always be OBJ
served.
