Vessels of Big Exchange
Company Recently Incor-

FLETCHER WILL
PRESENT CLAIMS
Senator Writes c. E. Dob
son Encouraging Letter
On The Subject.

That Pensacola may be included in
the list of shipping ports of the Chi
nese-American Exchange Company.
is shown in a letter of Senator Dun
can U. Fletcher, to C. Il. Dobson
which states that Pensacola's claims
will be Investigated carefully.
The shipping company was or
ganlzed on Oct. 1, for carrying on
general mercantile trade between
China and American ports on the
Gulf, South Atlantic, and Pacific
coasts. The corporation is headed by
Clarence J. Owens, managing diree-
tor of the Southern Commercial Con
gress, and it is understood that the
organization has the active backing
of the congress.
1t was originally reported that
Senator Fletcher was one of the di-
rectors but his statement In the let
ter that he is connected only through
his relations with the Southern Com
mercial Congress seems to disprove
the former one.
Sailing Ports.
Establishment of regular sailings
from Norfolk, Charleston, Whining
ton, Savannah, Jacksonville, Mobile
and Galveston 70 San Francisco, Port
land and other Pacific points is con-
templated, with connection at Port
land with another fleet plying TO and
from Chinese treaty ports.
A million and half dollars worth
of bonds will be issued soon.
Senator Fletcher's Letter.
The letter from Senator Fletcher,
which was received yesterday by Mr..
Dobson, is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Dobson:
Yours of the 4th has been received.
/ do not know who sent out the
statement regarding the Chinese
American shipping venture. | had
nothing to do with it. am in no
wise interested, directly or indirectly,
except only the Southern Commercial
Congress has been endeavoring to
create sentiment in favor of such a
shipping route and nelp develop and
build up trade, believing that
tremendous business can be done be-
tween the United States and China
direct, and the congress in its work
for the public has stood for such de-
velopment. / was asked at one time
to permit my name to be used as adj
visory counsel, or something Of that
sort. DIR. Owens, managing director
of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress, has been directly concerned
about promoting the scheme, and I
believe he is going to join Mr.. Rose
in presenting it. / will cali us at
tention to the fact chat Pensacola is
all you state for it, and must not be
overlooked.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed.) Duncan U. Fletcher.

Woman and Little
Babe Drowned
Sad Accident Occurs on Cabin Greek
When Team Became Mired, Up
Setting Wagon and Drowning Mrs.
Mercer and Child.

The news reached Beach today of
the tragic death by drowning of Mrs.
Chris Mercer and two-ycar-old child
on Cabin Creek, Montana. The ac-
cident occurred Tuesday afternoon
near the Lon Caldwell place.
Due to the melting SHOWS, Cabin
Creek is above its usual level, though
no danger was anticipated in af-
fecting crossing. 1t appears that
Mrs. Mercer had been visiting
neighbors, and was returning home
in a farm wagon belonging to Bill
McNannum, who was driving. There
were but three in the conveyance.
After getting into the stream, the
horses became mired in the treach-
erous mud, and becoming frightened
Mr.. McNannum was unable to con-
troll them. The plunging of the ami
mails resulted in overturning the wal
g"n. precipitating the occupants in
to the water. Mr.. McNannum, we
understand, became entangled with
the struggling horses, and by the
time he was able to extricate him
self Mrs. Mercer and babe had sue
cumbed to the icy water. Both hor-
ses were drowned, and Mr.. McNan-
nam himself narrowly escaped death.
At the time the news was brought
to Beach, the bodies had not been
recovered.
Mrs. Mercer was cousin by l.
loption to the Douglas families near
CARLYLE, and with her husband re-
sided on a homestead in the Cabin
Creek country. She has relatives
residing at Indianapolis, Ind, her
former home, who have been wired
and pending their reply, definite fun
