GERMAN REFUGEE
SHIPS GET P|LIk|A

At a special meeting of the harbor
board yesterday, Chairman Forbes and
commissioners Mccarthy and Dodge
'eing present, it was decided to grant
he refugee German merchant ships,
now berthed at local piers, two weeks
additional time at the same rate of
wharfage they have been paying, ten
dollars a day. The ships had been
given until yesterday in which to move
from the wharves or then to pay the
regular rate of two cents a day for
each registered net ton. At present
Zach vessel is paying a special rate of
ten dollars a day as wharfage fee
At the regular rate the vessels would
pay several times more than they are
doing now.
Refused By Navy Department
Efforts have been made by the har-
Dor board to secure permission from
the navy department at Washington
to permit these vessels to move to
'earl HarbOr, but this was refused by
secretary Daniels on the ground that
Pearl Harbor' is a closed port. The
board will hold its regular meeting at
half past one tomorrow afternoon in
the office of the superintendent of pub
lie works, and the subject may come
up again,
Chairman Forbes was asked yester-
lay if he knew what arrangements
The vessels had made to secure other
berthing location, the wharves they
now occupy being needed for the in.
rreasing shipping which is making this
harbor a port of call, especially for
bunkers.
1 do not know what they will do, i"
said Chairman Forbes, awe have
done what we could. 1t is now up to
them. -
Probably Go Outside
The situation, therefore, is this:
Should the vessels occupy their present
herths after August 81 they will pay
Wharfage at the rate of two cents Il
day ton for the registered net ton
mage of each ship, which is the regular
rate charged other vessels using the
territorial wharves. Sooner than do
this, it is believed that the ships will
be moved out into the stream.
Here, however, will enter the ques,
ton Of coal, and some arrangements
will have to be made, 49, n

MAYOR LANE IS
"a. AFTER DECORuM
..siA I
He Is Drafting Parliamentary
Rules To Govern City
Dads In Meeting

At tonight s meeting of the board of
supervisors, Mayor Lane will make a
partial report on the rules which he
is drafting, governing the procedure
Of the board at meetings.
His honor said yesterday that sneh
rules were necessary if decorum were
to be preserved at the meetings of the
board, and that unless decorum was
preserved the transaction of pubic
business would suffer.
The board is at present conducting
its meetings under temporary rules,
and the need of new rules is increas.
ingly felt.
At the last meeting of the board
Supervisor Logan moved an amendment
to the rules, to change the name of
the committee on public expenditures
to that of the committee on parks,
play grounds and purchasing agency,
and also, defining the duties Of the
new committee.
Supervisor Arnold raised the point
of order that the making of new rules
had been referred to the mayor.
Logan took the stand that as the
charter required the supervisors to
establish their own rules, thcv could
not delegate any of their duties, and
that, in consequence Arnold s conten-
tion would not hold water.
City Attorney Brown ruled that the
board could appoint the mayor as n
committee Of one for the purpoIe, men e
toned, the board to pass on his report
when presented.
The mayor has, accordingly, gone
ahead with the work and the results
Of his parliamentary handiwork will be
held I'M for the insnection of the city
law makers at tonight's meeting.

NUMBER OF HOBOEs
HAVE BEEN FOUND
COMPLAINTS FROM OUTLYING
DISTRICTS OF THE PRESENCE
OF STRANGERS, WHITE AND
BLACK, IN NEIGHBORHOOD.

Many complaints of the presence
of white and black hoboes have been
made to the sheriff's office within the
past day or two, and there are quite
number now in the county Jail,
charged with vagrancy. Yesterday
dozen were arraigned in the court of
record and were sentenced to 45 days
each on the county road, such SEN
tence to begin from the time of their
incarceration.
Three alleged Migrants, but who
were specifically charged with steal
ing rides on railway trains, We're also
arraigned at yesterdays plea day.
These were sent up for 40 days, their
term to date from the first day of
their incarceration.
Several suspicious-appearing indi-
viduals, who, had been pus off a train
north of the city, appeared in the
Cantonment neighborhood few days
ago, and acted in such a peculiar
manner that the station agent took it
upon himself to let the sheriff know
of their presence, in the belief that
they had evil designs on the railroad
property in the immediate vicinity.
They were all rounded up and hurried
to the city. They were among the
dozen who were arraigned.
Several others entered a plea of
guilty when called upon yesterday.
Three foreigners, sailors from a Nor
wegian vessel, who were charged with
entering home north of the city,
pleaded guilty. Sentence was sus-
pended, providing they returned to
the ship. Such alternative, however,
was not the order of the court.
Bari Smith, charged with assault
was given As days, and George Gull
verhouse and Annie Grant, or a mis-
demeanor, were fined $40 and costs or
As days.

WOW. BOOSTERS TO
MEET FRIDAY NIGHT
TO HOLD ELECTION
IN ADDITION TO SELECTING
NEW OFFICERS, NUMBER OF
OTHER MATTERS WILL BE
BROUGHT UP FOR DISCUSSION.

W. o. w. Boosters will hold meet
ing on Friday night for the specific
purpose of holding an election of Of
ficers for the ensuing year. A presi-
dent will be chosen, and as there are
"a number of declared candidates for
each position to-, be thus filled, there
should be good attendance.
All that is required to be an active
member of this organization Is to be
a good Woodmen Of the World.
There are q number of honorary MEM
bers, but the active list is growing,
and the Boosters give promise of
making their presence and influence
felt to no small degree in several I'M
dertakings which they will take UP
right away.
Those Woodmen who have not join
ed the organization should make it
convenient to be on hand at the Fri
day night meeting, when over half a
hundred lively and enthusiastic Wood
men will turn out and engage in the
carrying out of an exceedingly inter
esting program which is understood
to have been planned.
In many places where similar or
CARNATIONS exist, influence equal to
that yielded by board of trade is en-
joyed, and this is one of the objects
sought to be accomplished by the To-
cal branch.

Defense Day Big
Event at Charleston

tcontinued from Page One,
in his reference to the navy's present
status and in his plea for national
preparedness.
Congressman Padgett in opening
his address declared there have been
$50 many mis-statements,n about the
navy and even about the capable and
distinguished secretary of the navy
that 81 feel it necessary to speak the
truth about the present condition of
the navy and to tell you how much
he has accomplished"
Quoting from Secretary Daniels
recent report and from reports OF
other officers of the navy, Mr.. Padgett
then gave statistics which he declared
showed that imam for man, and ship
for ship" the American navy was the
"equal in efficiency and in every other
respect to any navy"
In his statistics, he told of the in
creased personnel Of ships built ano
building, of powder manufacture, OF
projectiles and guns on hand. AL
these. he declared were Sufficient tt
meet the requirements" of the war
ships built and building, with the ex-
ception of a slight sortage of guns
and shells of smaller calibre.
Features of coast defense then were
taken up, as well as the manner il
which naval appropriations have beer
spent during the Wilson administra
ton. To every feature OF the admin
istration of the navy under Secretary
Daniels, Congressman Padgett gave
a "hearty endorsement" addressing
the secretary's efforts to Improve tn.
mental, moral and social condition o.
| the men, He also referred to tn,
facts that figures show that SO PEI
cent of the men in the navy are re
enlisting.
Mr.. Padgett read letter from
Admiral Dewey, chairman of the gen
eral board of the navy, telling of wa
plans for the navy.
"His letter will show that on

LADIES OF MYRTLE
GROVE AID DOLL
AND TOY FUND
SEND A BIG BOX FILLED WITH
ALL KINDS OF USEFUL GIFTS
FOR CHRISTMAS.

Each day some new proof of the
Christmas spirit comes to The Journal
Office and as the days go by it becomes
more and more evident that the poor
children of Pensacola will not be for
gotten when the greatest of all holt
days comes. A big box, filled with
all sorts of things for Christmas,
dolls and rubber balls and horns and
engines came yesterday from the La
dies Social Club of Myrtle Grove.
But better even than the toys were
the clothes so neatly packed, dresses
boys shirts and warm underwear, a
coat, stockings and even little paja-
mas for some small boy, and all fresh
and new for school and bedtime.
The Doll and Toy Fund is open to
everyone and while no canvass is
ever made for funds the opportunity
is offered to take advantage of this
Christmas privilege, the privilege of
helping those less fortunate than
yourselves, those to whom the Christ
mas tide will bring little joy unless
we help them. This week you are
offered two ways of helping. First,
you can attend the musicale and
dance tonight at the armory hall. A
very beautiful programme has been
arranged which will include one of the
choruses from the floral operetta,
''The Brownies Whispers" which was
given recently. by Mrs. May Clutter.
Mrs. Clutter asks all the girls who
took part 10 meet her at the armory
hall tonight, at seven-thirty.
The second way in which you can
assist is by attending st. Nicholas
Day at the Isis Friday when Marie
Doro will be seen in "The White
PEARL There will be groups of
girls on the streets, wearing the st.
Nicholas badge and bright sprig Of
holly both Thursday and Friday after
aoons ready to tag every passer-by
with a movie ticket. All sorts of
girls have become interested in the
st. Nicholas tag day celebration.
Young teachers will leave their school
rooms after hard days work to lend
helping hand to the poor, school
girls will pause in the midst of Christ
mas preparations to assist in this
greatest of ali causes. The Junior
Girls Friendly have become interested
in the work through their director,
Miss Willie Wood and the Senior
Girls Friendly, although they are
busy business women will do every
thing possible to assist in the work.
Miss Leila Aberchombia has enlisted
the aid of the Camp Fire Girls for
tag day and Miss May Curtiss her
dancing classes.
1t must and it will be q happy
Christmas for the poor. Can not you,
who little realize the sorrow and
want and cheerlessness which lie at
your very door, help just little. A
ten cent movie ticket or twenty-five
cents spent for the musicale and
dance tonight may be very small
thing, but after all it is the little
things that count and dimes and quar-
tiers have surprising way of becom-
ing dollars.
The fund now stands
