District Attorney Whitman was
battling between sentiment and duty
when he prosecuted Charles Becker
for the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai" Jack Rose, infor1ner and one
time agent of the doomed former
Strong arm" chief, said. Whitman
never wanted to send Becker to the
electric chair. He had an interest in
him as the result of Becker's chance
acquaintance with the father of the
prosecutor. If ever a man hated to
act against Becker it was Whitman.
When the prosecutors father, a min
lister, lived at Is East Forty-fifth
street about fifteen years ago, Beck
er, then a young policeman, took his
meals in house nearby. The gov
ernor's father became friendly with
Becker and liked him because of his
manners and clean cut appearance.
The young policeman was well yersed
in the Bible, and the two frequently
spoke on church matters. When Whit
man became magistrate he often
gave special assignments to Becker.
as he was impressed by what his
father had told him of the young DO
liceman. In later years, when he was
district attorney, he at times gave
him special work. It is therefore nat
ural that from the start Whitman had
strong feeling for Becker that was
impaired to him by his father"

CAPT. BRISTOL
RETURNS TO
AERO STATION
HEAD OF THE AVIATION SER
VICE RETURNS FROM WASH
INGToN WHERE HE HAD BEEN
FOR WEEKS.

Capt. Mark L. Bristol, head of the
aviation service of the United States
navy, has returned to the Pensacola
aero station from Washington. He
has been at the latter place for weeks
mapping out plans for improving as
quickly as possible the branch of the
service in which he is in command
and has returned to Pensacola to put
these plans into effect.
1t is very probable that motors if
not aeroplanes will be manufactured
at the local station in the near fu-
ture. Referring to this feature Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels is quoted
by the New York World as follows:
"The European war has emphasized
the value of aircraft as a naval aid.
The last congress recognized the i'm
portance of aircraft and gave US ST.
100000 to begin a feet of scouts in
the air. We have established at the
abandoned navy yard at Pensacola an
aeroplane station with school for in
struction and shops to repair ma
chimes, and the construction officers
will soon have completed the plans
for the construction of our aeroplanes
at Pensacola. Important experiments
are being made at the navy yard in
WASHINGTON had made contracts
to buy hydro aeroplanes in Germany
and in France just before war was
declared. These cannot be secured
now. But we have placed orders also
with home companies and are buying
all types that are suitable for our
service made by American manufac-
turing concerns. Almost daily we
are assigning young officers to the
Pensacola school, so we will have
trained men to fly in the new craft
ordered"

CASEOF INTEREST
NOW ON TRIAL
THE DAMAGE SUIT BROUGHT
BY YOUNG MALLORY ALLEN
AGAINST RAILROAD COMPANY
ATTRACTS LARGE NUMBER.

In the court of record yesterday,
and which will continue WI the
opening session this morning, the
case brought by Mallory johnson
Allen against the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad company is on trial.
Plaintiff is represented by Reese &
Stokes, while Judge A. C. Blount AMI
his son appear for the defendant cor
poration.
Plain: If asks for judgmenc in the
sum of $4,000, and this is one of the
largest damage claims filed for some
time in the court of record. 1t reached
the argument stage last evening un-
til the unpleasantness started, and
then it was continued until this
morning. Mr.. Stokes will conclude
his argument, and, with the charge
of the court, the case will then be
given to the jury.
Young Allen, the plaintiff in the
case is young man who, while en-
ployed on a train of the defendant
corporation, was caught by low
trolley wire of the Pensacola Electric
Company and pitched to the ground.
Injuries which he sustained were ex-
tremely serious, resulting at length
in the amputation of one of. his legs.
He is the son of the late Prof. l. E.
Allen.
One of the features which entered
into the proceedings yesterday was
the release which the young man had
signed, thus in a way freeing the
electric company from damage action
but which reserved the right to sue
the other railway company. This
compact, it was claimed, was signed
while the young man was not of age
and to prove his age, the family Bible
was brought to court. 1t was shown
that the electric company was alb.
solved from blame by the payment
of $1,000.
The case is one of the most inter.
esting tried in many months.

EXCURSION BOATS ARE
GIVEN BAD REPUTATION

Chicago, July 29.-Lax morals and
gambling prevail on excursion boats
plying out of Chicago, according to a
report of an investigation by the
Juvenile Protective Association pre-
scented to Ira B. Mansfield and Will
liam Nicholas, federal inspectors of
steamships, and made public today.
License is synonymous with liber-
ty and most of the excursion steamers
plying out of Chicago and the moral
atmosphere is of the free and easy
kind, the report says. Conventions
are cast to the wind. Excuses are
permitted. The whole influence of
the life aboard during the weekend
and holiday trips so far as it bears
on the young, is demoralizing."

SCHOOL SITE IS
DISCUSSED At
MASS MEETING
: LARGE NUMBER GATHER AND
HEAR DISCUSSION OF NEW
8sssCHooL, AND APPOINT NEW
COMMITTEE.

Between ninety and one hundred
citizens gathered last night at the
court house and discussed the matter
of new grammar school, for the
erection of which the school board
has borrowed money. The general
opinion seemed to be that it would
be unwise to- rent the old Classical
school building owing to its general
llndesirability for school building
and the cost necessary TO place it in
condition, and that since the school
board has borrowed the funds it
should proceed with its plans and
erect a school building to be used as a
grammar school for pupils living in
the western section of the city. In
making the selection of site the
board should have a view to the flu
.Ature growth of the city.
When the meeting convened r. M.
Cary. nominated 7. A. Jennings as
chairman and the latter presided,
calling for a report of the special
committee named at the last meeting.
]. G.. Pace as one. of this committee
said the proposed site in the Maxent
tract had been looked. into and that
the committee was not impressed
with it, The other site visited was
on West Chase street which the COM
naittee thought very desirable, being
surrounded by good families. This
committee also believed the Arm
strong building could be repaired al
a small cost.
Chairman j. H. Sheriff. of the
school board addressed the meeting
and told the gathering that The

S|DE.LAC|NG SHOE

New Departure in Footwear

side. so that the aforesaid stout person
may cross one ankly over the other
knee and adjust his footgear without
pain or profanity.
Take it from the manufacturer. these
shoes are vastly superior in every way
to the obsolete styles which all but our
most advanced people still wear. Not
only is the trouble of putting them on
reduced to a minimum. but they mt

retain their original shape much longer.
The shoclace has held the center OF the
| stage too long, these gentlemen declare.
1t will from this day forth become more
| and more of a side issue.
Harassed husbands see faint dreams
, of emancipation in this latest fad. Why.
they argue. if "a side-lacing shoe is pos
sible. should not a side-buttoning dress
also be. Who knows but that in few
years we nav rejoice In the prospect of
our spouses hooking up" themselves
and emitting the usual connubial Gales
themes when the hooks on one side and

across the instep. The lacing is placed
on the inside upper of the shoes and

Started Career At Six.
The violinist was six years old when
he started his career with the violin.
His father. well-known business man
of Seville, was advised to give the
youngster every advantage to perfect
him with his instrument. The father
accepted this counsel, and everything
Quiroga did from his sixth year was
with the sole idea of becoming the

distinction. Last year he was awarded
the famous sarsate prize In Madrid, a
prize which carries with it the honor Of
of the great genius for whom it was
named. He won the prize by playing
ono of Sarsate's own concertos. His
education in Spain completed at the
stitution with it's wonderful history and
it's tremendous influence, he went to
Paris and studied a bit more. making
his first appearance in concert there.
Became the Rage.
Immediately Quiroga became tho rage,
and q tour of the capitals of Europe was
planned for him. The war put a stop
to these plans, and he came to the
United States under the auspices OF the
Shuberts for a series of recitals. His
appearance N New York iE recital was
a repetition of his Paris success.
Through an arrangement with the Shu
terts he was loaned to the Keith cir
cult for a limited time, and he is now
appearing at the principal cities Of the
East and West that have Keith thea

three years Of age-he does not realize
the full extent Of his power over tho
wonderful instrument he bends to his
will. Unassuming, even diffioent, with
the happy. spirits of great boy when
he does get on intimate terms with his
friends, he is taking a great deal of
pleasure In his trip. He confcsses to
being a bit homesick. but he feels that
he cannot go home until his contracts
have all been worked out. 1t is probab BILE
that at the conclusion of his season with

to prove that throwing the black An
