Not long ago n thief broke into
one OF the barns on the Elmvicw
farm and stole some feed from one
OF the boxes. 1t was thirty-six hours
after the theft that the trainer put
one OF the dogs on the scent, but in
very short time the thief Was ap-

the dogs have been given the scent
they have never failed to land the
criminal or clear up the mystery OF

This feat is acquired by coaching

F ARRISS BILL
IS EFFECTIVE
ON NOvEMBER4
CITY ATTORNEY SAYS "HoME
RULE" BILL CONTAINED NO
CLAUSE WHEN EFFECTIVE.

According to an opinion rendered
by City Attorney John B. Jones the
Farriss ''hone rule" bill, passed by
the last Legislature, calling for the
election of charter boards by all
cities and giving them the right to
amend their own charters by vote
of the people, had not yet become eff
fective. The bill says that election
to name such boards shall be held
ninety days after it becomes etfec-
tive. It was approved by the gov
ernor on June 4, and the natural pre-
sumption was that the ninety days
had elapsed.
The city attorney however, says
the bill had no clause stating when
it should become effective and hence
the constitution must be followed and
this provides that such measures be-
come effective sixty days after the
adjournment Of the Legislature. By
this ruling the bill became effective
on November q

WILL CLOSE AND GENERAL
HOLIDAY WILL BE OBSERVED
IN THE CITY.

A big time is scheduled by the
Knights of Labor at Palmetto Beach
tomorrow, upon the occasion of the
Labor Day picnic. Good weather is
hoped for, and the attendance gives
promise of being a record-breaker.
Practically all stores viii close at
/ o'clock tomorrow afternoon, this be-
ing in line with request from the
organization under whose auspices
the outing will be given Monday. The
K. of Z. want to express their appre-
citation on the part Of the general
public and hope to merit that feeling
by giving them good time today at
the beach.
The baseball game, in which old
timers will participate will not start
until 4:30 o'clock, this extension of
time having been agreed upon ac-
count of the inability of the Rotary
Club and the Boy Scouts organization
to leave the city earlier than on the
4:15 car. Jos. Febrc, the general
chairman of the arrangement COM
nittees, last night received letters
from the club named and the Scouts
that they would attend in body, and
that they had decided to leave on the
cars at the time named.
There have been a number of adj
ditional prizes offered, and the large
number now donated permits of a
large number of contests for which

MARKETED HERE
BARRELS OF WHAT
MIGHT. BE TERMED SELECTS
BROUGHT HERE FROM ESCAM-
BIA BAY.

The first Florida oysters of the sea-
son were brought to Pensacola yes
terday, when twelve barrels of what
might be termed selects, were placed
on the market. They came from the
beds of ]. H. Sheriff., up Escambia
bay, where Mr.. Sheriff. two years
ago, planted a large number, engag-
ing in the industry on quite large
scale.
The Florida laws prohibit the tax
ing of oysters from public beds be-
fore October 1, consequently there
will be no Florida bivalves on the mar
ket prior to that date, excepting those
secured from private beds.
Oysters have been shipped in from
other states during the past few days,
but usually they are small and lack
flavor.

NORTH CAROLINA COMING.

The fine cruiser North Carolina
should be in port early next week, for
she. left several days ago for this
point. 1t was stated yesterday, how
ever, that this vessel has been order
ed to make stop at Key West for
some coal, and thence steam for Pen
sacola. Just how long this vessel
will remain here was not made pub
lie yesterday. It is known that the
North Carolina has been made sta
ton ship for the aeronautical station,
but it was reported that before she
takes up her permanent station at
Pensacola, she will first convey some
of the airships to the feet on the
southern drill grounds, and upon her
return to stay here for an indefinite
time.
The North Carolina carries fine
marine band aboard, and it is be-
Iieved this organization will remain
at Pensacola with the fine arnored
cruiser after her permanent station
here. Several members of this band,
who were on furlough in various
parts of the United States, have re-
ported at the local station. They were
given orders to report here, and to
await the arrival at Pensacola of their
ship, which sailed few days ago
from the Portsmouth yard for this
point.

TO

CO. OF MARINES
BATTLEsHIP SHOULD REACH
PENSACOLA TODAY AND WILL
CONVEY ONE MACHINE COM
PANY TO HAITI.

It is expected that the battleship
Kearsarge will put into port today,
to take an anchorage off the naval
station, and to later dock at the navy
coal wharf, to remain for several
days. The Kearsarge will come, it is
stated, for the purpose of receiving
aboard the machine gun company of
marines which has been on duty at
the local station, these men to be
transported to Haiti for temporary
station. Just how long they will re-
main, and whether they are to be re-
turned to Pensacola at the expiration
of their term of service on that island,
remains to be yet determined.
The Kearsarge viii be recalled as
having led squadron after squadron
into the port of Pensacola in the past,
and it will be recalled wildly how
this ship, in her bran new dress, came
into Pensacola, the flagship of the
North Atlantic squadron, and carrying
at her masthead the colors of the
late Admiral Farquhar, and later
the admiral flag denoting the presence
of Fighting" Bob Evans. This bat
tleship, now having outlived her use
fitness as a front line ship, is no
longer the important adjunct she once
was, but has been in reserve for some
time, and is at present on the unat-
tached and unassigned list.
