DATE WILL ALSO BE
LEES BIRTHDAY
Deep Water Route Expects
Number of Prominent
Men Here From East

The date of Pensacola's great cele-
bration, the entry Of the first through.
train over the Gulf, Florida & Ala
bama railroad, has been changed from
Jan. IL to Jan. 10. This had been de-
cided upon because the railroad man
agement, as well as citizens think the
date more desirable and also because
of the fact that Gen. Lees birthday
falls on that date.
Plans for the celebration are going
ahead nicely. The Chamber of Com
merce committee and the various sub
committees named to assist in plan
ming for the biggest celebration in
the history of the city, are working
daily on the various features of the
celebration.
One Of the things lacking, how
ever, Is a proper name for the cele-
bration. The press committee, hav-
ing charge of this feature, invites
suggestions from all residents and Of
fers as prize a ticket to the ban
quet, dance, bay excursion and other
entertainments that will be provided
on that date. Suggestions can be sent
to either The Journal or the News.
MANY OFFICIALS INVITED.
In addition to the city and town
spffeiaIE who are to be invited, the
Gulf, Florida & Alabama anticipates
having one hundred or more pron1i-
nent railroad men here as its guests
during the celebration. These will
include the directors and many stock
holders Of the road, as well as finan-
ciers who have aided In the roads
construction.
The through train to arrive In PEN
sacola that date will bring many of
these officials, for it will come direct
from Birmingham over the Southern,
connecting with the Gulf, Florida &
Alabama at the point where these
two roads form their junction.

PARAT|ON
FROM A NAVAL
POINT Of VIEW
Subject Discussed Before
Society Naval Architect
by Capt. Niblack.
BY Assoc1ArEp pREss.


New York. Nov. 19.-Preparedness
from the naval point of view was
discussed today before the Society of
Naval Architects and marine engin-
GERS by Captain A. P. Niblack, u.
S. N. vice president of the society.
Captain Niblack urged the impor-
lance Of fortifying the Pacific coast
and in particular the need for proper
facilities for providing the navy with
fuel stations.
He urged the establishment Of ade-
quate supplies of coal and oil at Hon
olulu, Midway and Cuba, which, he
maintained would insure the proper
mobility of the feet. He also dis
cussed the value of fortified naval
bases in the Aleutian Islands, the
extreme north Pacific, the Tuttuila
Islands In the South Pacific and
Hawaii.
L. N. Spear, who has made numer-
GUS inspections in submarine, read a
paper on the uses and possible de-
velopment of undersea craft. He said
designers of the submarine of to-
morrow" would be fixed, not by the
engineering limitations, but by mill
tary, including financial conditions. He
expressed the opinion that the SUBJ
marine fleets Of the future would be
divided into coast defense and offen-
sive craft with displacements up to
ESQ tons and speeds of from eleven
to II knots.

westerly direction up the coast and
another storm Of almost equal in
tensity moving east and slightly north
from the Ohio valley. The weather
bureau thought the two storms would
meet over the New England states
or the Great Lakes.
As these two storms moved toward
New England, low pressure area
extending from Southern Pennsyl-
vania to Maine was created early to-
day. At New York city the wind at
8 a. m. had velocity Of between GO
and 65 miles an hour. Similar heavy
winds were reported from various
points over the low pressure area.
Several persons were injured here
today by falling signs blown down
by the gale, one probably fatally. A
number Of pedestrians were knocked
down.
Virtually all shipping in New York
was at standstill. Ferry boats be-
tween New York and New Jersey

ules.

OlD-TIMf MINISTRIES
Richards & Pringle's Do Not Desert
Old Minstrel Methods

Thirty years is long time for an
amusement enterprise to be before the
public, especially in that particular
branch of the business devoted to min
strelsy. There is but one minstrel COM
pany in the world today which can
claim that proud distinction and that
one is Richards & Pringle's Famous
Minstrels, which come to the Lavering
theatre for two days, commencing ON
Friday, February II, with matinee on
Saturday.
The expression, the survival of the
fittest' was never more aptly applied
than to this very company, which has
withstood the ravages of time without
scar. Public taste has changed time
and again since their birth. One
form of amusement after another has
been born since their inception, flour
ished for time, and then been rele-
gated to the shelf. Richards & Prin-
gle's Georgia Minstrefs, however, has
kept pace with the times and changing
tastes. Each season they have offered
new and novel entertainment, until
their coming is now looked forward to
by theatre-goers as anxiously as the
small boy waits for circus day They
have a large company this season, for
ty people. and it would be as well to
secure your seats early, as these dus-
ky fun makers always play to crowded
houses,
There will be big street parade and
band concert at noon on the date OF
their engagement.

Bill Passed Last Session to Be Re-
pealed.

Without a dissenting vote, the house
passed Thursday morning Fl. B. No. 3
by Shattuch, which eliminates the PEN
alties and reduces the rate of inter-
est on unpaid and delinquent taxes
The interest on delinquent taxes Is
reduced from IS to 10 per cent.
The law passed at the thirteenth
session provided that taxes should be
payable semi annually, but fixed a
penalty Of 6 per cent on the first in
stallment if it was not paid when due
on the first Monday in January.
The Shattuck bill eliminates that
penalty, allowing until the first Mon
day in July for payment If the first
installment is not paid on that date,

member OF the twelfth session, in
formed the house that the bill was
passed in the closing hours without
being given proper consideration. He
declared it was legislative crime and
