PHUNMAKERS IN
Big SURPRISE
WHO is GERTIE, WILL BE oUEs.
TON WHICH PATRONS WILL
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
SOLVE SHORTLY.

It takes the Phunmakers to spring
the unexpected, or better put, the
something original" and probably
never before have they attempted
anything quite as expensive or any
thing as original as "Gertie," which
will be the feature Of their benefit al
the Isis Theatre next Wednesday, Jan
9th.
"Gertie' is going to prove the talk
of localities, because ii is a feature
never before presented in Pensacola.
and it might be said that the Plum
makers are spending no little amount
to bring this feature 20 Pensacola.
Through arrangements this feature &C:
will arrive In Pensacola on Tuesday
afternoon for Wednesdays show.
The only information to be CLEANED
from the knowing ones just now, Is
that Harry Wagenheim is to appear
with "Gertie," and even Harry won't
admit or give out details.
"Gertie" is no fake act, or dressed
up man." or anything Of that descr1p-
ton, but an absolutely legitimate fea-
real money to secure.
Doctor Kennedy AYERS that "Gertie''
is rather an expensive undertaking
for the Phunmakers to contract for
still Pensacola ought to attend in
droves to see the act. Oh yes, and
Manager Davidson of The Isis. says
it's nothing of the female impersona-
ton" idea
Now then the question is, who and
what is "Gertie?"

TWO OFFICERS
WERE LET OUT
OF DEPARTMENT.
PATRoLMEN LOUIS ROACH AND
Al. JERNIGAN WERE DISMISSED
BY CHIEF SANDERS UPON THE
CHARGES OF uN1EcoMING
CONDUCT.

Upon charges of conduct unbecom-
ing officers, Policemen Louis Roach
and Al Jernigan were yesterday dis
missed from the police department. by
Chief Frank Sanders both OF them
having been served with notice of their
dismissal at 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
They were simply charged in the
chiefs letter with unbecoming con-
duct, and both of the officers, who had
statements in their own behalf ready
yesterday, deny the charge. They have
appealed from the chiefs action, and
have carried their cases direct to the
board of commissioners. Fire and
Police Commissioner Pou was given an
official notification yesterday of the
chiefs action, the head Of the depart
ment notifying the commissioner in
a. letter of what he had done Commits
sioner Pou said yesterday afternoon
that the officers would be given a
chance to clear themselves Of the
charges which the police chief will pre-
sent before the commissioners. The
board of commissioners will hold a
special meeting this afternoon at 3
o'clock and will hear the cases of the
dismissed patrolmen.
The officers have engaged an attor-
ney to handle their cases before the
commissioners, and a statement Of the
cases of the two men was made in
writing by the attorney, ana yester-
day at O'Clock handed to the police
commissioner. The latter refused to
express an opinion yesterday after
noon, preferring to hear the statements
of the dismissed officers.
officer Roach has '5een on the po1rce
force for twenty three years, and has
served under a dozen different admin
istrations. Officer Jernigan is on the
supernunerafy list, having never been
elected as a member of the police de-
partment. He has worked in several
capacities, however.
The disappearance of a sum Of money
said to be about 500, which was the
property Of Matt. Henderson, an aged
white man Of Muscogee, was the al
legged reason for the dismissal of the
two members of the force. Mr.. Hen
derson was said to have been slightly
under the influence of liquor when his
money was lost, and the loss Of that
money figured in the presentrnent Of
the cases OF the officers in the paper
presented to the police Commissioners
yesterday by the attorney engaged in
the case. Both Of the dismissed men
are strong in their denial OF guilt, and
say they will be able to convince the
commissioners this afternoon that they
have been wrongfuliy charged. The
money was said to have been lost
Tuesday night, and the two officers
are alleged to heve been the last ones
with him. In fact they are said to
have conveyed him to the room he
occupied that night, and that was the
last, it was charged, the money was
heard from. Both strongly assert they
did not know ANYTHING or the money.

M. &P. OFFICERS
ASK EXTENSION
Of FRANCHISE
CONFERENCE WAS HELD WITH
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND
CASE or RAILWAY COMPANY
WAS PRESENTED BY ATTORNEY

In a specially called meeting yester-
day afternoon in the mayors office,
the city commissioners received an ap-
plication from the Memphis & Pensa-
cola railway officials for an extension
OF the franchise, but the commission
ers, after hearing the railroads case,
decided to take the matter under adj
visernent, and agreed TO meet the NJ.
& p, officials during this afternoon,
when an answer will be given.
The case of the railway project was
presented by ]. J. Sullivan, ST., and
several of the builders interested were
present. Mr.. Sullivan maintained that
one of the reasons why the work de-
manded by the terms of the franchise
had not been completed was the finan-
cial condition which prevented the sale
OF the company's bonds. The Euro
pean war was cited as one reason for
this financial difficulty.
The franchise terms under which the
company was working, and which the
commissioners faniliarized themselves
with yesterday, require that fifty miles
of the railway project should De in op-
GRAFTON by June /, Of this year, and as
scarcely over ten miles have thus far
been graded, 1t was seen that an ex-
tension was about the only thing that
would save a bond of $4,000 which is
on file with the city for the completion
OF certain stretch of the railway.
This will be forfeited, it was stated
at the city hall yesterday. unless the
terms OF the franchise under which the
company is now working, are complied
with.
