Chicago, July 6.-B. Martiovich,

cal bureau of the department of JUS

STRANGER DEAD
RESULT OF FIGHT
IN NIGHT
Found In Unconscious Con-
dition on West Main
Street After Midnight
FIGHT OCCURRED
SOME TIME BEFORE
Man Probably Had Been
Stabbed and Was Dying
When Car Came Along

A stranger, supposed to be a sea-
man from the British bark Chile, was
found in an unconscious condition on
West Main street, between Barcelona
and Reus streets, this morning about
1890 o'clock, and although he was
hurried to the Pensacola Sanitarium
for medical treatment, he died within
a few minutes after his arrival.
The mans death is believed to be
the result of a fight that occurred
shortly before midnight, when people
residing in that section heard heat
ed argument, followed by blows and
curses, and later quiet, as though the
fight had ceased.
The Bayshore car came along about
midnight and the mans body was
found lying south of the track. If
he was struck by the car it was only
by the steps, as the nature of the
wounds were such that it is believed
they were inflicted with a knife.
There appeared to be one bad stab
in the left side and other injuries at
various parts of the body.
The man was unconscious when
found, but revived for a few moments
and made some remark about a fight.
In his delirium he appeared to be
under the impression that he was
still engaged m the fight.
1t is the belief of some that the
man was rendered unconscious and
the parties engaged in the fight at
tempted to hide their crime by throw
ing him near the car line.

The last twenty-four hours brought

new offensive IN the west, their aim

at Berlin, the tentative draft of its
reply To the American note of June
9, which asked for assurances that
American rights on the high seas will
not be further violated by German

After careful examination of the
contents of the proposed note, as OUT.

cally agreed the United States cannot
express approval of the German pro-
posals in their present form without
sacrificing important neutral rights.
Just what Germany proposed was
not officially divulged. From Berlin
dispatches, however, it is learned that
Germony would give assurances that
Americans might travel with safety
on the high seas on certain conditions
imposed by Germany, such as the
marking of belligerent vessels car

United States to Germany of the date
of the departure, the character of
such vessels, and an inspection insur-

Navy Dept. Developing
Aeronautic Station Here

G. E. Dobson Returns From
Washington Where He
Spent Several Weeks

How the navy department Is plan
ming to develop the aeronautic station
at Pensacola was related by C. E.

a stay of several weeks in Washing
ton. Mr.. Dobson's talk was before
the Rotary club and featured the
weekly gathering of that organize
ton.
The department is anxious, says
Mr.. Dobson to develop the station as
fast as possible, but the $1,000,000
appropriation only recently became
available and is now being expended
as fast as possible in the purchase of
new equipment. Three new Curtiss
aeroplanes and three expensive Bur
gess-Dunne machines were ordered
during the past week The depart
ment is also planning to install a
compressed air plant at the yard, as
well ses e erxt permanent hangers.
Proposals were called for while Mr..
Dobson was in Washington for the
erection of a steel dirigible shed to
cost approximately $4,000, while
much small work will be done to
equip the station in proper man
ner.
While Mr.. Dobson asked Secretary
Daniels to send feet of destroyers
to Pensacola to cooperate with the
aeroplanes on long distance flights he
could get no direct promise. How
ever, he said, the cruiser North Caro-:
lima should arrive here within the next
ten days.
He also requested that the school
for mechanics, located at the Charles
ton yard, be moved to Pensacola,
where there are better facilities fo1
instruction. About ia men are now
in the school.

ers last night considered at some
length the matter of adopting bud

feature is mandatory by legislative
senactment, which requires the cOrln-s
ty board, in making tax levies stipu-
late for what purposes the various
amounts shall be expended. A maxi

fine and forfeiture purposes, and in
asmuch as the law prohibits the
transfer of moneys from one fund to
another. county officials who secure
their fees will go without them if
their, fees. exceed the sum which will
be realized from the two mill levy.

ton of a budget viii have to take into
consideration the fact that all of the
outstanding warrants, now held by
various parties, must be retired. 1t

bridge improvements and is endeavor-

.REv.J.W, WILSON
is SENTENCED To
SERVE 8 YEARS
Pleads Guilty Transporting
Miss Odell Rogers Here
for Immoral Purposes. 1
LOVE OVERBALANCES
HIS GOOD JUDGMENT
Recited to Court Passages
From Bible to Prove the
Law Not Been Violated

Facing Judge Sheppard in the fed
eral court yesterday afternoon on the
charge Of violating the Mann white
slave act, Rev. John Wiley Wilson,
Baptist minister of Randolph, Ponto-
toe county, Miss, admitted that all
contained in the Indictment Just re-
turned against him by the grand jury
was true, but pleaded as an extenuat-
ing. circumstance that love-the
Simon pure article Of love-that. ten
der, passionate affection Of one for
another-had temporarily overhaul
anced his good Judgment. Three
years in Atlanta was the sentence.
Rev. Wilson was arrested several
months ago, after he had fed from
his home with Miss Odell Rogers, q
member of his congregation and
travelled through the states of Missis-
sippi, Alabama and into Florida, in
PRODUCING the girl as his wife, while
at home his lawful wife and three
children wondered over his sudden
disappearance and long absence.
GIRL IN COURT.
Neatly attired the girl, Miss OdelI
Rogers, appeared in court and was
an interested listener to what trans
pired. She is of the brunette type,
slightly below medium height, with
flashing black eyes and above the
average intelligence for q girl raised
IN the country. She was accompanied
by a friend; with whom she was
placed by government officers pend
ing the trial of the minister. After
Wilson had been sentenced he was
permitted to see her alone for few
minutes in one of the government Of
fees and then was taken, with other
prisoners just sentenced, TO the coun-
ty Jail where he will be held until ar
rangements are made for the marshal
to convey the entire party to the fed
eral prison at Atlanta.
/ QUOTED FROM BIBLE.
The defense Of Rev. Wilson was
one of the most unique heard in the
federal court room. He quoted from
the Bible, reading passages to prove
his contention that the course of true
love should not be interfered with,
and dweIt at length upon his excel
lent moral record in Mississippi. One
of his assertions was that Peter, whom
he referred to as one of the best
characters spoken of in the Bible,
once defied the law. His case was
similar, he intimated.
II The court suggested that he ap-
peared well posted on the Bible,
whereupon Rev. Wilson, apparently
pleased, replied that he had given it
much thought and study and was
familiar with every passage. Then, /"
said the court, take as your text,
Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery,
and confine yourself to this during
the remainder of your address"
The minister had nothing more to
say and sentence was passed.
