PHUNMAKERS
TO HOLD FORTH
ON WEDNESDAY,
THEY WILL PRODUCE FUN FOR
PENsAcoLIANS AT THE BONITA
THEATRE ON THAT DAY AND
NIGHT.

The announcement that the Plum
makers will have a benefit perform
ance at the Bonita. Theatre next We'd
neSday, has created more than pass
ing interest. At best any of the
performances given by the Phunmak-
ers always embraces the very best of
Pensacola's semi professional and am
ateur talent, and the bill of artists
to appear Wednesday might are more
than noteworthy.
DR.. s. r. Mallory Kennedy and Har-
ry Wagenheim will appear in an or
iginal sketch. They will also introduce
some of their late song, and that goes
as barometer of good things to be
enjoyed. Johnny" Jones, as he is
popularity known, will appear for the
first time this season, in a new line
up of popular songs. Every Pensaco-
liam knows the value OF Jones voice
and that should be sufficient to draw
a. crowd. Johnny FrenlSle the popular
lyric tenor Will appear In a novelty
singing act introducing two of the
late songs on the metropolitan mart.
Pensacoiians should also bear in
mind that an opp ortunity will be given
to witness an exceptionally strong bill
Of pictures. 1t looks like big day
for the Phunma11ers, and amusement
lovers should turn out and give the
popular mystic order big houses.

VASSO DID NOT
TAKE CHICKENS
CHARGED WITH PURCHASING
STOLEN FOWLS YOUNG GREEK
WAS ACQUITTED WHEN PRE-
LIMiNARY TRIAL WAS HELD.

Louis Vasso, a Greek, who was
charged with receiving stolen prop
erty. and who was arrested on suc.1
a charge. was acquitted yesterday
when given preliminary hearing be-
fore Judge w. L. Johnson He offer
cred to make a statement in his own
behalf, but the court did not think il
was necessary and ordered his re-
lease.
Vasso had bought chickens he said
but had paid good prices for them
quite as much as he would have paid
in the markets. It was charged that
he had purchased the fowl, on sew
eral occasions from negro boys who
had stolen them. paying but a few
nickels and giving fruit, too. He
proved that he had bought the chick
ems in good faith, and with that state
ment, left the case with the court.
Two negro boys, who are now in
the custody of the probation officer
recently made quite a profitable bust
ness, it was charged, by stealing
chickens and selling them from house
to house. Some Of these stolen fowls
were traced to Vasso, and one Of the
boys told a policeman that Vasso had
given them a dime or two and some
fruit. Upon this statement charge
was made against the Greek.

TWO SAILING
SHIPS ARRIVE
ITALIAN VESSELS COME FOR
CARGO, BOTH TO TAKE OUT
TIMBER AND LUMBER TO DIFF
FERENT EUROPEAN PORTS.

Two Italian sailing vessels arrived
yesterday, one going to quarantine
while the other remained last night
anchored just inside the bay, awaiting
a fair wind, to sail up to the city.
They are the Italian bark SAINT Anna
Rosa, from Havana, and the barken-
tine Beatrice, flying the italian flag,
from Gloucester Mass.
The SAINT Anna Rosa was lowed up
to the city and then ordered fumi-
gated, while the. Beatrice, which was
out fifty-two days from the Ameri-
can port named, sailed Just inside the
harbor and cast anchor. The skipper
refused to contract for a tow to the
city, 1t was stated, intending to wait
for a fair wind to sail up to an anca-
orage.
The owner of the Beatrice is also
the owner of the Tulsa, both vessels
being now In port, and both coming
here for cargo. The Luisa is now an
chored in the stream with cargo, and
may get out to sea about Tuesday
of the coming week.
The Beatrice sailed from Glouces-
ter, Mass, November "a OF last year,
spending both Christmas and New
Year at sea. Some little apprehen-
sion was felt for the vessel when days
passed and no report was received.
Storms had swept the Atlantic sew
eral times and the Beatrice encoun-
tered more than one day of bad
weather, but came into port una4ded
and unchanged. Vessels of her rig,
it was explained by shipping men
yesterday, carry but little canvass,
and then, it was stated, for a voyage
from a New England port to Pensa-
cola, it is usually necessary to sail
entirely around the Cuban Isles, to
get out of the way of what Is known
as the trade winds and gulf stream
and tides. This was the route select
ed by the Beatrice.
1t may not be known generally that
two of the largest vessels OF that rig
in the world are now In Pensacola
harbor, pilots asserting that such is
the record The Luisa and the Bea-
trice are both owned by the same
man, their home ports both being
in Italy.
