The legislature is the sole Judge with reference to whether an
emergency exists, it's true--but just the same, every time that a
legislator lends the weight Of his influence to a declaration that an
emergency exists when, as a matter of fact, none exists, he is yo-
lating his oath Of Office. The mere fact that the court sustains his
right to- lie doesn't make it right.

WAS TRIED FOR KILLING HER
HUSBAND, WAS FREED BY
JURY IN ALABAMA.

Friends in Pensacola and many ac-
quaintances who have been following
the case, will learn with interest that,
after a deliberation of twenty-four
hours and forty-six minutes, a jury
in Mobile filed into court Sunday aft
ernoon and rendered a verdict which
declared Mrs. Theresa McBroom not
guilty of having murdered her hus-
band. She was forthwith discharged
from custody.
The defendant in this case at one
time was in charge with her husband
of shoe repairing shop, on West Ro-
mana street for some time and the
dead man was well-mown in PEN
sacola. On account of this, and for
other reasons, the case had been fol
lowed with much interest by num-
Der Of Pensacolians. who will learn
with added interest that the woman
in the case has been acquitted.
This was the fourth time this case
has been called up. Twice the case
was called and continued, one time il
resulted in a mistrial after the jury
had considered the case about foul
days, while the last time, which end
ed yesterday, was the fourth and con
Guiding one.

BOY HAD NARROW
ESCAPE WITH LIFE;
HIS ARM BROKEN
YOUNG SON OF A. SARA, WHO
WAS SAID TO HAVE FALLEN
WHEN SKATE CAME OUT WAS
THE ACCIDENT VICTIM.

At 7:30 o'clock last night, the
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Sara,
residing on DeVilliers street, came
precariously near losing his life by
being crushed under the wheels of an
automobile, or of sustaining very
serious injuries, but as it was his arm
was broken when his skate came off
and threw him iii the street directly in
front of an automobile driven by DIR.
C. E. Strife, of the naval station.
Young Sara, it was reported to
the police station, was skating on
West Garden street, and is said to
have endeavored to cross the street,
directly in front of the automobile.
His skate came off suddenly, it was
stated, and he fell on the pavement.
In the fall it is believed, he broke one
of his arms.
DR.. Strife told the police that he
did not think his car struck the boy
at all, and several witnesses testified
to about the same thing. To help the
lad, he vever, the naval surgeon
stopped his car, lifted the boy in the
machine, and then hurried with him
to the Office of DR.. Dewberry, where
the injured member was set. The boy
was able to go home unaided there.
after.
DR.. Strife himself drove the cal
to the police station and reported the
accident. He said that he was driv
ing along at very slow rate, and thai
was the reason why the car did MOI
pass over the body of the boy, in the
street.
AS the accident seems to have beer
unavoidable on the part of the man il
charge Of the automobile, there wert
no arrests made in the case.

Farmers More Disposed to Sell.

Portland - Local grain dealers re-
ported that the offers by farmers to
sell wheat had increased materially.
Where week ago no offerings were
received from the country and it was
difficult to fill the few orders on hand,
buyers could have purchased consid-
cradle amount of wheat had they been
able to place it. The selling movement
is long way from being free one,
but it indicates, in the opinion of grain
men, that the deadlock between buyers
and sellers is being broken. The trade
still complains that prices in this ter
ritory are on too high basis. .
