LICENSE PAYING At
CITY HALL IS BRISK
ALTHOUGH ALL WERE IN
SMALL FEES, MORE THAN
$500 WAS COLLECTED DUR
ING TUESDAY BY THE CLERK

License paying at the city hall was
exceedingly brisk yesterday and they
ranged from one or two dollars to
$50, and the total amount taken in,
according to the records in the comp
troller's Office at the hour of closing,
was more than 81 800.
There seems to be a general desire
or the part of all persons in various
lines of business to obtain licenses
as early as possible, and this ap-
peared to have been the case yester-
day when persons of all classes
crowded into the Office of the city
clerk, paid their fee and later showed
up at the Office of the comptroller
for the certificate, which gives them
authority to do business in the city
of Pensacola for theforthcoming
year.
As yet no large fees have been paid
over. No saloon licenses have been
received, and some saloons which had
applied for license to do business, and
which had filed applications for the
usual permit have been closed up
At least ten saloons have decided not
to continue in the business during the
Forthcoming year, according to the
statements of former proprietors
who have closed the doors and places
are in the rental lists.

FALSE ALARM CAUSE
MUCH EXCITEMENT

Considerable excitement was caused
Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock
when the indicators in the truck
houses changed out an alarm Of three
taps which, as they were separated
by Just a trif1e, were taken to mean
that call for the trucks was being
sent in from box II, which is stu
ated on Palafox wharf.
A fireman, glancing in the direc-
tior of the water front at the time,
saw great clouds of black smoke roll
ing over the bay, and, rot stopping
to get the second round Of calls, the
hook and ladder and a hose truck
went to Palafox wharf.
The excitement was short-lived,
however, for it was soon discovered
that the three taps came from point
on the line where repairers were at
work, while the smoke, which was
mainly the reason why so many peo-
pie followed the trucks, came from
the ice factory on Baylen wharf, and
from several tugs which were in the
harbor at the time.

An Advocate of Saloons
From Alabama
The following is an editorial from The Mobile
Register of October (yesterday)
"MR. McCoRD IN PENSACOLA.

Mr.. Leon McCord, former state railroad com
missioner for Alabama, and who signed without
having been consulted about it compromise with
the railroads, drawn up by the railroad attorneys
whereby Alabamians were robbed of some two mil
lions of money contracted and due to them from the
railroads on drawback checks, is over in Pensacola
speaking in the saloon interest and calling that
noted prohibitionst, Judge Samuel D. Weakley, of
Birmingham, fiat head"
No doubt, the Judge take care of himself
but the world must wonder at the assurance of Mr.
McCord, after his performances in Alabama, calling
anybody fat head.
Also, there must be wonder that Mr. McCord can
face audience and preach in the saloons interest
when, as appears, he the other side of THE
fence only short while ago. We read the following
from the Gadsden Times-News of April g. 1912:

There were men upon the border,
too, who needed but a little aid and
countenance to work the work of
pioneer statesmen on the western
rivers. Most conspicuous among these
was George Rogers Clark, the young
Saxon giant who, in 177T, left his
tasks as pioneer and surveyor on the
land which lay upon the south of the
great river Ohio in far Kentucky.
Virginia's huge western county, and
made his way back to the Underwater
country to propose to Mr.. Henry, now
governor of the revolutionfzed COM
monwealth, an expedition for the con-
quest of the illinois country" which
lay to the north of the river.
He was but fve-and-twenty, but he
had got his stalwart stature where
men came quickly into their powers,
deep in the forests, where he had
learned woodcraft and had already
shown his mettle among men.
Mr. Henry and Mr.. Jefferson and
Mr.. Wythe and Mr.. Madison, whom he
consulted. approved his purpose very
heartily. 1t was a thing which must
be prepared for very quietly. and
pushed, when once begun, with Sc
crecy and quick despatch; bat the mus
tering of men and the gathering OF
munitions and supplies were incl
dents which made no stir in thoss
days of familiar war.
Clark could bring together what
force he pleased at Pittsburgh, and
excite only the expectation that a
new band of armed men were about
to set out for the frontiers of Ken
lucky.
In May. 177s. he was ready. He
took but one hundred and eighty
picked rifemen, a modest hotilla Of
small boats, and a few light pieces
of artillery, but they suficed.

gained easy mastery of the little set
| Elements which lay to the northward
upon the Mississippi and within the

an infinitely pleasing way of winning
the friendship of men upon any bor-
| der, and the Frenchmen Of the settle

/ the change he promised them, liked
well enough the prospect of being
quit Of the English power.
There were few Englishmen to deal
with.

DESCEND WAlPI0 TRAIL
IN AN AUTOMOBILE

Especial star-Bulletin Correspondence
HILO. March s.. From the looks Of
things In the way OF automobile travel
It would seem as IL some day story
will come through telling ct the pas
sage Of machine to Wailianu GuIch.
Waipio Gulch was conquered the
other day and the chauffeur and party
live to tell the tale Of the trip down
into and ND out of the deep valley.
The machine that made the dam
gerous and seemingly impossible trip
was driven BY Jim Low and he had
with him ID. Makekau. s. Makekau, j.

Of the party has not been reported
to have turned white. but 1t is still
standing on end.
The partv passed through Knki-
baeIe village In the morning Of the
exciting day and then. In search of
further adventures, decided to attempt
what was declared by others to be
the impossible The descent OF the
Waipi0 trail in an automobile has
never before been accomplished. and
people who are accustomed to seeing
Dack-muIes dragging their way up
the narrow trail, declared that the
auto party would certainly take a
nice drop of a thousand feet or 30
into the ocean, or on to the rocks at
the foot Of the pail
As ordinary brakes were Of no use
on the steep hill trail, Low decided
to put the car into the reverse gear
and allow her to then make her way
down BY the force Of gravity. The
experiment was most exciting one
as the trail. besides being steep. was
very narrow in places. 1t was. how
ever. found that with the reverse gear
set. sufficient brake power was de-
yeloped to hold the car when needed.
The start down the trail, with a
thousand foot drop at the side was
watched by an interested crowd Of
people. The fear was expressed that
none of the party would ever again
be seen alive. Many attempts were
made to make the daring bunch
change their minds. but there was
nothing doing and the car started
1t took but fifteen minutes to make
the descent and, although at times
there was not more than three to four
inches of leeway outside the wheels
on the sea side. no accident happened
although the hearts of the spectators
were in their mouths most of the
time. The hearts Of the ajoy-riders'
we're swallowed altogether
The return trip took one hour and
quarter to make. and the car tray
eled ON the low gear all the way.
