OFFICIAL DOG.
TAX INSPECTOR
LOSES HIS JOB
GEORGE GINGLEs, WHO HAS
BROUGHT ABOUT THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO CITY EXCHEC-
QUER, WAS LET OUT.

No longer has the city an officially
designated dog tax inspector, for,
with the beginning of this month,
George Gingles, who has been acting
IN that capacity for the past several
weeks, was allowed to drop from the
CITY payroll. Not that there was any
thing the matter with the inspector
himself, but because it was thought
that, as a matter of retrenchment,
the policemen could look after un-
licensed dogs in the future.
Mr.. Gingles, therefore, was yester-
dav notified that the city would no
longer require his services. And ne
resigned.
Commissioner Pou, speaking of the
matter yesterday afternoon, said
there was nothing the matter with
the inspectors, work for all classes
were brought before the recorder by
him, and in fact some of the most
prominent citizens of Pensacola,
were arrested upon warrants made
by the inspector, ranging from bank
ers, lawyers, doctors, superintendent
of railroads, exporters, down to negro
urchins-they all looked alike, ane
the city exchequer was bettered
thereby to the extent of over one
thousand dollars, but it was thought
best to let the police department look
after unlicensed dogs in the future
and orders to that effect were ISSUED
to the police watches last night, anC
will be repeated this morning.
Not a day passed but that any
where from one to fifty defendants
had to appear in the recorders cour
and were all required to get out tag
| if they had dogs.

HUERTA FINANCED
BY GERMAN MONEY
Carranza Gets Documents and
Turns Them Over to United
States-Hoped to En-
broiI Uncle Sam.

New York. Nov. 29.-Details .: the
conspiracy by which millions of dollars
of German money was to restore Gen.
Nictoriano Huerta to the dictatorship
in Mexico and thus bring this country
into war with the M%eXicans were
learned yesterday from officials in this
city representing the Carranza admin
istration.
The story involves Franz Rintelen.
the wealthy German who arrived in
this country at the same time that
Huerta came here from Barcelona,
Spain, where he was visited by German
agents. 1t shows that of the 50,000,-
600 which certain German ~sympathiz-
ers had at their disposal for embroil-
ing this government in Mexico more
than S10,000,OO0 had already been
placed at the disposal of Genera Huer-
as representatives in different places;
that $4,000 of that money has recently
been seized in the Amer
icaniSche bank in Mexico City; that
5000, 900 more of the fund is now In an
other branch of the same bank in Ha-
vana, Cuba, where proceedings will be
instituted by Carranza's representa-
tiVeS to inpound it.
Hoped to Embarrass America.
These facts and others, outlining the
entire conspiracy meant to put the
United States in such a position that
he shipment Of arms and ammunition
from this country to the allies would
be stopped, and to give his country
such trouble thai no strong represen-
tations could be made to Germany con-
corning its submarine warfare, have
been obtained from Huerta's cores
~pondence and various other documents
in his possession.
Practically every detail of the part
that Huerta had planned to play il
starting a new revolution in Mexico
his meetings with his aids in this city
his conferences With Germans, includ-
ing Rintelen and also q member of the
German embassy; the arrangement
for the shipment of arms and
ton to Mexico, the plots for causing
OBJECTIONS from Villas and Carranza's
armies in Mexico-is included in tho
letters and documents which the Car
rama officials obtained.
All those documents have beer
turned e to the federal officials, anL
they have been partly influential il
guiding the Wilson administration IL

them, it is SAID, to give more consid.
