GOES
Up 5000
FEET

Lieut.. H. c. Sauffley, attached to
the aviation service of the United
States navy, made a new worlds rec
ord in hydro-aeroplane yesterday,
when he assembled in one of the new
machines to height of 5000 feet.
This tops any former record by sew
eral thousand feet.
Lieut.. Sauffley determined several
days ago to make a new record with
a hydro-aeroplane and on several oc-
casions he started up but found con-
ditions that were not suited to reach
ing a great altitude. Yesterday
morning, however, everything ap-
peared to be suitable and the aviator
climbed steadily until he was over
three miles above the earth, or 5000
feet up before he began the descent.

CARRANZA ALLOWS USE
OF MEXICAN RAILROADS
Supplies Can Be Sent the
American Forces Chas-
ing Villa.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, March 29.-Carranza
has granted the request of the United
States to use the Mexican Northwest
ern railroad in pursuit of Villa. His
reply to the renewed requests of the
state department was forwarded in
brief message today from John l..
Rodgers, United States special agent
at Quereato. Rodgers said the de-
facto government had agreed to the
commercial use of the line. Officials
here believe Funston will begin ship
ping supplies over the line tomorrow.
While the details still are to be work
ed out as Funston may want to place
guards on the trains, it is understood
the road will be used only CONNER
cially, and at regular rates.
There was no official news from
Pershing today, but press reports in
dictate the Americans are pressing
Villa close. Medical officers are IN
clined to discredit reports of extensive
sickness among the troops. The state
department survey today reported all
quiet in all Mexico.

SAYS
HELTON HAD
GOOD BED
Pensacola, Fla, March 90, 1915.

Pensacola, Fla, March 90, 1916.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
l wish to make few statements re-
gardlng the Helton matter, concern
ing which an article appeared in this
mornings paper.
The facts in the case are that the
prisoner was not suffering from pneu-
monia, or any similar ailment; he was
suffering from chronic heart trouble
and, in the opinion of physicians, his
removal either to his home or to the
hospital was unnecessary. To sub
stantiate this statement attach here
to the certificates of both physicians
who attended him.
1t is absolutely untrue that the pris-
oner died ION a mattress on the cold
cement floor of the jail" Not the
slightest complaint was made to me,
or so far as can learn, to any officer
or attendant, of the treatment &C
corded Mr.. Helton. I attach hereto
affidavits of his brother, and of the
man who was his constant attendant
and another fellow prisoner as to the
treatment that was accorded him.
The only request or suggestion
made to me by the prisoner or his rel
atives was that he be allowed to go to
his home. The prisoner had been con-
victed of a serious offense and SEN
fenced to two years in the state prison
on one charge and six months in the
county Jail on the other. He was en-
deavoring at the time he was taken i'll
to make bond, which the court had
fixed at $1,000, to secure him his lib
erty while his case was being appeal
ed. While there is a room provided
in the Jail building for a hospital
ward, it has never been fitted up by
the county commissioners, probably
because under the arrangement be-
tween county and the new hospital,
sick prisoners can be better taken care
of and at less expenEe in the hospital.
Sick prisoners are taken to the hos
pital whenever the county physician
finds it necessary to have them trans
ferred to the hospital for treatment.
In the case of Helton the physicians
in attendance did not think it neces-
sary for him to be taken to the hos
pital for treatment.
I had no right or authority under
the circumstances, except at my own
risk and peril, to allow the prisoner
to leave the Jail. Under the laws of
Florida a sheriff who voluntarily per-

Germany Engages In Submarine
Campaign Regardless of An1eri-
cans and Promises Made.
WASHINGTON TAKES A
Ora We VIEW OF MATTER
Imperial Governments Promises Are
Not Considered of Much
Value BY Officials.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, March 29.-Uness Germany in reply
to the inquiries made by the United States through Am
DaSSador Gerard makes statement which causes the
state department to change its present intention it is
derstood the United State will combine all the recent
submarine incidents and bring the entire subject up as
clear issue.
The recent accumulation of evidence in sinking the
steamers Manchester Engi neer, Englishman Eagle
Point and torpedoing of the Sussex and French ship
Patra upon all of which Americans were travelling has
brought the United States the most serious situation
since the beginning of the war.
Recent events indicate that Germany has engaged
upon submarine campaign with no regard for Amer-
cans and regard for the previously given
the United States.
1t is certain that the United States will not be salts
fed with offer of punishment to the submarine COM
mander and reparaton unless it be absolutely determin
ed whether any value could be placed in Germany's
promises

ARC.
BEING
IN CITY.
Pensacola Electric Co. Vol
unfairly Installs Novalux
Nitrogen Arc.
COST EACH
LIGHT $40 PER YEAR
Light is Latest Development
of the General Electric
Company.

An improved arc light, known as
the Novalux Nitrogen lamp, the
latest development of the General
Electric Company in street lighting,
has been installed by the Pensacola
Electric Company in Pensacola, re-
placing the carbon arcs that have
been in service here for many years.
At the same time the company voiun-
tarily reduced the cost $40 per year
for each light, thus cutting the city's
lighting bill considerably.
Recently the company decided to
try out a few of the new lights and
determined then, if they proved as
satisfactory as anticipated, they
would improve the lighting system of
the city by installing them in place
Of the ones in use. The tests proved
satisfactory and recently an order
was placed for sufficient number to
thoroughly light the city.
The Novalux Nitrogen lamps de-
@A'~A I4A~4A IIOIu G4l6 IdCL If1dL
the globes are filled with nitrogen gas.
They have less brilhancv than the
carbon arc, but nevertheless give
better illumination. This is because
the carbon arc reflects horizontally,
while the nitrogen lamp reflects a
soft light downward. They have a
nominal candle power rating of $50,
which is greater than that of the car
bon arc and the diffusing globe in
creases the power of the lamp.
The lamps are replacing the old
carbon arc in many cities and it is
understood are giving satisfaction
everywhere because of a better light
for a smaller sum, the cost of main
tenance and operation being less than
the old style lamp.
Refectors will be received in a
short time and when installed the new
lamps will give still better service.
These refectors were ordered
shipped with the lamps, but did not
fit so were sent back to the factory.

Form the Mine Laying and
Mine Sweeping Fleet
of the Navy.
TO PRACTICE HERE
WITH AEROPLANES
Had Been at Guantanamo
Bay Engaged in Maneu-
vers With Big Fleet.

Four naval vessels, the San Fran
cisco, Baltimore, Dubuque and Le-
banon, arrived off Pensacola yester-
day. Two of them, the gunboat Du-
buque and the ammunition ship Le-
banon came into the harbor at once,
but the two cruisers, San Francisco
and Baltimore, remained in the gulf
during the day and will come into
port during today.
The four vessels compose the mine
laying and mine sweeping feet of the
navy and they will remain here for
about month, leaving about May list
for their home station. The ships
came direct from Guantanamo bay,
where they had been participating in
maneuvers there with the Atlantic
fleet. The cruiser North Carolina,
which left Pensacola ten DAYS ago
was just arriving there as they de-
parted for Pensacola.
The mine layers and sweepers win
engage in practice work with the
aeroplanes during their stay in Pen
sacola, the flying machines BEING uzeh
in finding mines planted by the W.
sells and reporting to the sweepers f.
the latter to remove.
The Baltimore and San Francisco
have spent many weeks at Pensacola
in the past, and have made exhaustive
drills and surveys in this harbor. The
Lebanon, which is known as an am
munition ship, was one of the mer-
chant vessels purchased by the navy
department, and was taken over by
the government, retaining the same
name she bore when in the merchant
service.
The Dubuque is in the gunboat
class, and is one of the light draft
vessels so useful to the navy in gain
ing across to the shallow harbors of
the West Indies and Mexico. This is
one of the old vessels of the navy,
having been in commission since 1908.
The San Francisco was built in 1890,
and the Lebanon in 1894. The Bal
timore is also an old vessel.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March ga
preacher who turned detectives and
assumed as many DISCUSSES as worn
by Sherlock Holmes in his wonderful
activities is the man who did more
than anyone else in efforts to I'M
ravel the mystery surrounding the
death Of John E. Peck, millionaire
drug manufacturer of Grand Rapids.
Rev. Alfred w. Wishart left his
pastoral duties at the Fountain-st
Baptist church, here, long enough to
follow trail of mystery to New York
and as result DR.. Arthur Warren
Waite has been charged with the muir
der of Peck, his father-in-law.
After the body of Peck was sent to
Grand Rapids, Percy Peck, son, re-
ceived telegram advising him to de-
mand an autopsy and investigation.
The telegram was signed only with
the initial "E." The name of the
sender is not known.
1t was this telegram that trans
formed DR.. Wishart, friend of
the Peck family, into a detective,
and took him from the seques-
tered life of Baptist parish into
New York life.
Young Peck showed DIR. Wishart
the telegram. Then DR.. Perry
Schurtz of Grand Rapids was called
in to hold an autopsy. He reported
presence of arsenic in the stomach
of Peck's body.
DIR. Wishart and DR.. Schurtz then
went to New York. They investigated
for two days before calling for as
sistance. They charge Waite was
living a double life and that he lived
with another woman before and after
he married Clara Peck, daughter of
the millionaire.

% KILLED AND
40 INJURED
IN WRECK
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cleveland, Ohio, March 29.-Twen-
ty-five persons were killed and per-
haps 90 injured early today when
three fast passenger trains on the
New York Central lines went together
near Amhurst; 27 miles west of Cleve-
land.
Dense fog cbscured the signal set
by the first section of an eastbound
Pittsburgh altimore-BufTalo limited,
and a second division of that train
crashed into it. A moment later the
fast Twentieth Century limited, west
bound on another track, crashed into
the wreckage.
Daylight had not appeared when the
three trains piled up together. Farm
ers and villagers rushed to the as
sistance of the stricken passengers.
The work of rescuing those pinioned
under the wreckage was hampered by
the darkness.

FIRST TRAIN WILL LEAVE
JUAREZ THIS MORNING

Ell Paso, March 29.-The first train
bearing supplies to Gen. Pershinp
probably will leave Juarez tomorrow
for Casas Grandes, to be distributed
by motor trucks to the scattered
American columns hunting Villa south
of there. Preparations for rushing
forage, food and gasoline, the most
needed supplies, were under way here
tonight Limitations as imposed BY
Carranza, combining shipments to
goods sent to concerns in Mexico who
have contracts with the expedition,
caused disappointment among army
officers as shipments may be ham
pered.
The Northwestern railroad between
here and Casas Grandes Is in bad
shape. At the best times it took the
train ten hours to make the trip Of one
hundred and sixty-eight miles. With
the present improvised tracks and
bridges officers believe it will take
nearly twenty-five.
The absence of definite news leads
to the belief here that Villa has
eluded his pursuers, at least for the
present, and no clash with the Amer
leans is expected soon.

DR.. Wishart is the preacher who
