Germans Report
Have Abundance
Irish Potatoes
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, Aug, 1S.-tvia Amsterdam
and London, Aug, 1s)-There is an
unexpected abundance of potatoes in
Germany, according to a statement
made to the budget committee Of the
reichstag by Secretary of the Interior
del Brueck. The explanation, he said
was the great economy practiced be-
cause Of the underestimate of the
supply at the beginning of the war.
The imperial bureau of potato supply
has distributed over ten million hum
dred-weight to municipalities, starch
factories and distillers.
Herr del Brueck stated also that
there was a balance of 1000, 900
double hundred-weight from the pre-
vious grain crop to which must be
added probably 5o,0O0,o 1000 double
hundred-weight from the new crop.
The prospects for supply of meat
are satisfactory and normal quaint

CLOSE WATCH IS
BEING KEPT ON
MEXICAN VESSEL
Long Stay Here of Vessel
Caused Suspicion-Arms
Left New Orleans.

1t developed yesterday that United
States officials are keeping a close
watch on the little Mexican schooner
Isadora, whose long stay in Pensacola
harbor, has evidently aroused the
suspicious of the federal officers. The
vessel is out in the harbor and has
not given any indication of taking
any cargo of any character, but it is
evident from the acts of yesterday
that the United States fears the yes
sci will take out arms and ammunition
to the revolutionists of Gen. Carranza,
down in Mexico.
During yesterday a cutter from
the navy yard with number of Of
fieers and men aboard came up the
harbor at full speed, bearing directly
for the schooner, but upon reaching
there the cutter only circled about
the schooner several times and then
returned to the aero station.
ARMS WERE SHIPPED.
Reports from New Orleans to the
effect that a shipment of arms and
ammunition went out of that city a
few days ago for Pensacola. It is
not known to whom the shipment Is
consigned, or whether it ever reach
ed Pensacola, but it is evident the
navy officers have some information
which caused them to suspect the lit
tie Mexican schooner. 1t is under
stood a close watch was kept from
the aero station all of last night and
yesterday.
Deputy Collector Weeks in charge
of the Pensacola custom house declar-
ed last night that the schooner ap-
peared regular in all respects. She
came up from Havana about six weeks
ago and presented the proper papers,
first calling at Key West, and so far
as his Office knows every. transaction
of the vessel has been regular.

SPECIAL 70 THE JOURNAL.

Cottondale, August 1s.-Hosie H.
Wood, prominent resident of this
place was drowned here yesterday in
a large well which had been dug on
the place. Mr.. Wood started down
into the we'll on which he was work
ing, using a rope with which TO lower
himself. He had gone down a short
distance when he became overcome
from the poisonous gases arising
from the well and losing his grasp on
the rope fell into the water about
thirteen feet deep.
It is supposed he was unconscious
when he fell into the water and was
drowned. The poisonous gases were
so bad that several who ventured
down into the well were forced out,
until finally Rev Mr.. Gay, after four
attempts, reached the bottom and
fastening rope about the body of Mr..
Wood succeeded in drawing him to
the top. Two hours had elapsed how
ever, and Mr.. Wood was dead. All
attempts to revive him failed
Mr.. Gay was almost overcome after
his efforts and is meeting with great
praise for his bravery.

County Board Adjourns I'm
til Friday When Matter
Will Be Considered.
SIXTY-TWO CARDS
WERE THROWN OUT
There Remain $50 Cards
With Names Signed That
Cannot Be Checked.

The petition for a wet and dry
election in Escambia county lacked
1863 signatures when the board of
county commissioners adjourned yes
terday until Friday. A total of 1901
signers were necessary to secure the
calling of an election, and the Es-
Gambia County Prohibition League
presented cards and petitions with a
larger number than required, but 81
of these cards were thrown out for
various reasons, while $50 names
could not be located on the registra-
ton books. It is this latter feature
which the board will further consider
at the meeting of Friday. Another
search will be made through the reg
istration books. The sieners failed
to designate in which precinct they
reside and as a result It viii be neces-
sary for the commissioners to 90
through many precinct books to locate
them, with the possibility that some
are not even registered.
6,4O3 ON BOOKS.
A total of 6,403 names appear on
registration books. This was determ-
ined by the board counting the revised
books. twenty-five per cent of this
number is required to call an cleo
ton. This would mean 1901 sign
ers. After the board had eliminated
62 signers and was unable to find
1892 others it left the petition with
only 1882 signatures.
The board determined to make a
thorough canvass of the books before
passing on the matter and for this
reason adjournment was taken until
Friday, when another all-day session
is anticipated.
According to some attorneys addi-
tional signatures cannot now be pre-
scented.

l The foregoing comparative figures seem to indicate that the cost of maintaining our schools Is increasing not only in Greenlee County but in the state as a whole. And while I have maintained at times that our schools. in this county could be con- ducted upon more economical lines, | it appears that when compared to other counties in the state Greenlee county makes a creditable showing. In respect to the average cost per child per year we had the second lowest cost in the year 1912, the fifth lowest in 1913 and the fourth lowest in 1914. Our teachers receive bet ter salaries but there are more schol- ars to each teacher than in any other county. The large number apportioR- ed to the teachers in the districts of Morenci and Metcalf tends to bring the average in the county up to it's high mark.
 The low cost per pupil in our coun- ty, believe, is due to great extent to the density of our school popula- tion, there being over. ninety per cent of the total attendance of the county in the four larger districts, Clifton, Morenci, Metcalf and Dun can. This is an advantage we enjoy over other counties where a greater percentage of the scholars are dis tributed in the small outlying dists tricts It will be readily seen that where there are a large number of small districts with an attendance of say from eight. to twenty. it tends to reduce the average number taught by each teacher in the county as a whole and at the same time increases the average cost per pupil. Last year the total attendance outside of the four arger districts referred to in our county was but two hundred and thirty-nine or less than ten per cent.
 I shall endeayor to secure cost data from the schools in the larger towns of the state for comparative purposes which may prove of inter- est.

PREMATURE BLAST
 HITS TWO MEN
One Is John cowdy of Globe, other George Stevens, of Clifton; Working at Roosevelt Dam at the Time.

PHOENIX, Ariz.. May 4.-George Stevens. of Clifton. and John Cowdy of Globe, were brought to Phoenix yesterday in special car to be treat led for injuries received at Roose- welt.
