FINE REVENUE
Gutter MIAMI
HERE ON CRUISE
CAME INTO PORT TO HAVE SOME
INTERSECTIONS IN REFRIG-
GRATING PLANT REPAIRED
AND PROCEEDS TODAY.


Dropping into port Unexpectedly
and unannounced the fine new revenue
cutter Miami arrived yesterday and
took anchorage in the stream, where,
during the ray, needed repairs TO
her refrige, ating plant were made.
The vessel proceeds today, and takes
up the interrupted cruise along the
gulf coast.
The Miami is in command Of Lieut..
Blake, and aboard is Lieutenant of
Engineers Jack I. Bryan, who, posi-
bly, a dozen years ago was on duty
at Pensacola, as the commanding Off
Ger of the revenue cutter Penrose.
Lieut.. Bryan walked into The custom
house yesterday as soon as he could
conveniently get ashore, and recog-
nized at their desks men who had been
faithfully serving Uncle Sam all the
intervening years since his departure
ten or twelve years ago. He recog-
nized Deputy Bruce Weeks. A. B,
Yniestra, clerk; and Inspectors Quina
and Bailey. There were a number of
friends missing, who had gone to their
last resting place. Among these were
Inspectors O'Keefe, Bombay; Cashier
Motta, ex-Collector of Customs Still
man, and he remarked upon what a
great deal of difference a little matter
of ten years makes.
Since leaving here, Lieut.. Bryan
has been over practically the whole
world, and for the past year perhaps
has been aboard the Miami. He was
transferred from Pensacola to the
State of Washington, boarding a rev
enue cutter which worked in the
Behring Sea and the Arctic ocean ano
later went to a station in Europe
but of comparatively late years re-
turning from Turkey, etc. Of course
in ten years time, coming back he
noted vast improvements in many
lines, and he had something to say
of them.
The Miami is one of the late cutters
having been built of street in 1912 anc
her headquarters are at Key West
| She is 100 feet in length, is 80 feet
wides and has a depth Of is feet
Four guns are mounted on her decks
Her complement consists of eight off
GERS and 81 men.

Kyle. The latter at once sought a

attention.
Woods, the negro, seemed possessed
of unusually great strength and
fought the policemen with some sue

necessary to throw the darlzey like
a streer and hold him down until a
conveyance could get him. to the
county Jail.
During the afternoon he suddenly

HIGHWAYMEN
ASSAULT MAN
ON WEST MAIN
FRANK RATINCKESE A SEAMAN
BEATEN INTO INSENsIBILITY
BY TWO NEGROES.

Frank Ratinckese, a seaman from
one of the foreign vessels in port,
was beaten into insensibility about s12
o'clock last night by two negro high
waymen. The assault occurred at the
corner of Main and Barcelona streets.
The man was found there some time
afterward.
What the two negroes secured from
the seaman is not known, for he had
not recovered sufficiently at the police
station early this morning to give any
further information than that he had
been assaulted and gave description
of the men. This tallies with the de-
scription given by others who have
been the victims of highwaymen re-
Gently.
Captain Gilmore later in the morn
ing found the weapon used by the
negroes. 1t was an iron railroad cross
bar.

ENGLISH TAXES
Be INCREASED
TO PAY FOR WAR
Chancellor Has Prepared a
Long List to Take Care
of Expenses.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Sept. 13.-Of the various
important measures to be taken up
at the session of parliament which
begins tomorrow, particular attention
is being paid to the matter of the new
taxation to help in paying the cost
of the war. Reginald McKenna, chan
cellor of the exchequer, has spent
many weeks in searching out possible
means of adding to the ordinary rev.
enues and meeting the enormous ex-
penses of the war, which now amount
to nearly $2O,OO0,00O daily.
Whatever the chancellor may have
in mind, he has kept his secret as
closely as is customary with the
drafters of British budgets. Gossip
already has doubled the income tax
and reduced the exemption figure, in
creased the duty on tea to a shilling
pound, and added greatly to the i'm
port taxes on petrol, wines, spirits
sugar and tobacco, especially cigars.
Apart from these, a bold line of &C
ton will undoubtedly be taken on tax
alton of war profits, not only on mu-
nitions, but on industries like shipping
which are emassing enormous sums
The beef trust and wholesale dis
tributors Of foodstuffs also are
mentioned as likely to be called upon
for large contributions to the ex-
chequer. Imposing of taxes on i'm
ported, luxuries including automobiles
is being canvassed as a means OF
either raising revenues or of assist
ing national economy and rightine
the exchange market by decreasing
imports.
Other taxes which have been sug.
gested are upon railway tickets
theaters and motion pictures, automo.
bilas and carriages and employers Of
domestic servants. An increase II
charges for letters, kilograms anc
kilograms, all of which are under gov
eminent control, is a further posi-
bility.
But the greater part of the hall
billion dollars or so which the govern
ment hopes to add to its annual in
come, will come, according to the vel
informed, from the income tax. TIL,
minimum of execution presumably vii
be lowered and plans will be mad,
for assessing the wages of as man,
workmen and small business men Al
earn more than the fat minimum
deemed necessary to support exis
tence.

COULD DRIVE PIPING NO
DEEPER, IT WAS STATED.

After penetrating to a depth Of
632 feet, the, contractor who was
working at so much per day to bring
in a flowing well for the city, as an
additional adjunct to the city water

all the piping out of the ground, it
was said, and which was as follows:
800 feet of six-inch pipe, 800 feet of
eight-inch pipe, and 525 feet of four
and one-half-inch pipe. This repre-
sents a valuation of $3.50.
It is understood that there will be
some use made of the casing, and
that another pump will be added
from the desired depth, to the al
ready good city system.
The Water Report.
The announcement that the deep
well had been abandoned was con-
tanned in report from the water de-
partment, as filed in the city hall yes
terday. The report also announced
the total of water pumped for the
month of August, and gave addition
al data. The total pumpage for the
month was given at 47,986,000 gal
Ions. Daily average was 1,548,0
gallons, with the maximum days
pumpage at 1,716,O0o gallons, and
the minimum days pumpage at l.
455, 900. Coal used to produce the
above was given at 354,950 pounds.
Receipts for the month were given
at $1,911.40, with disbursements al
$979.12.
The report also cited the progress
which had been made on the new
house which is being erected for the
water plant, saying some obstruc-
tions had been overcome, and the
work was at this stage progressing
satisfactorily.

CAPTAINS OF
FOREIGN CRAFT
FILE APROTEST
SHIPPERS OF NORWEGIAN YES
Sells ASK IN PETITION THAT
LICENSE OF SHIPPING MAS
TIERS BE UNCHANGED.

Foreign shippers now IN port pre-
ssnted a signed protest to the board
~ city commissioners yesterday, urg-
ing that there be no increase n the
license Of shipping masters, holding
that If this step was taken it would
riesn the furnishing Of men TO vessels
ct . prohihitive cost. Their protest
was fled. The application for an IN
crease in the license Of the shipping
masters, which was received last week
was also received and fled, hence
there was no reason for action on
the new petition which came to hand
yesterday.
Captain Andersen Of the Norwegian
bark Doya Lisboa; Captain Berglunu
Of the Norwegian ship Mafalda, and
Captain Sorensen, Of the Norwegian
steamship Falk, were the ones who
signed the petition protesting against
the raise in license fee.
While these shippers may never
come back to Pensacola again, the
owners of the vessels on which they
are here now, are also owners Of q
number Of other craft, which periodi-
cally call at this place, and it is for
the protection and to the >interes-
their owners that the protest was
filed.
The three captains announced in
their petitions that they had learned
Of the proposition to raise the licenses
Of the shipping masters through the
columns of The Pensacola Journal
and then they proceeded to give their
reasons why they did not want this
increase.

HOPEWELL, VA, DESTROYED
City Wiped Out and $4,000 People
Homeless,

Fire. supposedly started by Ger
man agent in the hope of destroying
the Du Pont powder works, wiped
out the famous mushroom town of
Hopewell, near Petersburg, Va, caus-
ing a loss of approximately $3,OOO,-
600 and 5000 citizens to be home
less. AS the flames menaced the
great powder magazines panic reign
ed lin the town, which last spring
was q cornfield. Hundreds of men,
at the risk of their lives, formed a
fire-fghting Gordon around the works
and extinguished flying embers as
they alighted. AS soon as it was
realized that the town was doomed,
the police, assisted by experts from
the powder plant, began dynamiting
the buildings. When the first blast
was set off many p ersons thought
there had been an explosion of gun
cotton at the big plant, but when
other detonations followed the eX-
planation soon spread and fears were
quieted. While the flames were at
their height there was serious riot
ing, which resulted in the lynching
of a negro caught looting. Not since
the Civil War has there been such
excitement in that section. Physi-
clans, lawyers, merchants and those
who have accumulated even the
smallest amount of portable prop
erty, were sitting in the streets
around blazing bonfires, built for
warmth, with rifles in their arms,
ready to protect the little that had
been saved. The station Of the Nor
folk & Western Railroad was de-
stroyed, and with difficulty special
trains were hastened into the burn
ing city to take away the destitute
and homeless. Petersburg presented
scarcely less pathetic scene, for all
public buildings and churches were
turned into temporary shelters for
the shivering homeless, and the resi-
dents of the town prepared and
served huge caldrons of soup to the
hungry.

ing, newspaper work, singing in city
churches, janitor service and deliv-

These figures apply only to the
college year In addition to this
amount there are many students who

British and French Retire.

London, Dec. 13.-The British and
French troops have successfully car
ried out their retirement from Servia
across the Greek frontier and by an
arrangement with the Greek govern
ment a clear road has been left for
them to fall back on Saloniki, which
is being organized as base.
The German official report to-day
claims that approximately two Eng
lish divisions were annihiliated" dur

sidered here an exaggeration. Ac-
counts from Athens and Saloniki say
the retreat was carried out in an

on the West Campus alone, which
does not include the law, medical

an aggregate of $22,53O.OO per year
toward defraying their expenses in
college. 1t is announced that 40 per
cent of the senior class are supple
menting their funds this year with
some form of outside work. Among
the various forms of employment,
teaching and tutoring probably yield
greater returns. $4,000 per year is
given as the amount earned in this
