QUESTION OF FLAG"
LIGHTS IS SERIOUS

Red lanterns by the score have been
during the past several
nights by the street department, these
lurid lights being used to mark un-
safe spots in the pavement or side
walk, as the case may be. It was a
serious question, too, one man hav-
ing the nerve to say it was Ga burn
ing question" for the supply did not
equal the demand, and all sorts of
borrowing was the order of the day.
Phil Sanchez has the number of an
automobile, and he wants to know
the owner and the driver of said auto
at 9:45 o'clock Friday night. If this
information comes into his possession,
he said he was certainly going to
court about it. Mr.. Sanchez, who was
out very late looking after the flag
lanterns, was on West Garden street
when he noticed a certain auto drive
squarely over one highly-prized red
lantern, breaking the light to bits and
leaving a dangerous spot in the paw
ing unmarked.

RAILROAD COMPANY
HAS WIRE WORKING

Hurrah, one wire is working, and
the L. & N. railroad company last
night had to employ two separate OPP
orators to keep it going. Press of
business? Well, rather. 1t is the
shortest telegraph line in Florida at
that, for it is only three blocks long.
It extends from the Office of the chief
train dispatcher, in the L. and N. pas
senger depot, to the Office Of the yard
master, at the corner of Eleventh
avenue and Wright street, or just
south of the railroad shops.
We'll, anyway, it served US good, .
said a railroad man last night. eff
we had a telephone it would have
been little different-we could have
telephoned orders. As the telephone
was on the bum, we rugged up the
wire. 1t was short wire, but it die

BLOUNT
CASE MONDAY.
Suit Against County for
$4,000 Postponed
Third Time.

The case of the Blount Construction
Company VS.. Escambia County came
up for a hearing before E. C. Max
well, who was appointed special mas
ter in the suit, and continued until
Monday. The case was scheduled to
come up over week ago, but as some
of the evidence had not been prepared
it was postponed until Wednesday,
when it was again put off until Fri
day.
When the case was called Friday
morning practically nothing was done
in the matter, which was decided to
be carried over until Monday morning
at 1880.
The case involves 5000 which the
Blount Construction Company claims
is due on the contract for the county
Jail building, but which the county
contends it does not owe. Much evil
dence has been prepared in the case,
and Engineer George Rommell and
Inspector James NJ. johnson have
been working on the case for several
weeks.

STR. TAMPA
RUMOR
Foundered Near Escribano's
FOzTIC, IS Report. NOI
Confirerned.

It was persistently rumored last
evening that the steamer City of
Tampa, plying between Milton and
Pensacola, and touching at all inter
mediate points, had foundered at or
near Escribano's Point, but that there
was no loss of life.
Every effort was made to confirm
rumor, which was strengthened by
the fact that the familiar packet did
not show up during &he afternoon as
usual. From atop the American Ma
tional Banks building observers en-
deavored vainly to pick up some trace
of the steamer, and when the heavy
mist lifted and when the rains let up
for the moment, nothing could be
seen.
The rumor could not be traced to
its source, although from number of
creditable sources, 1t was stated that
Escambia bay was entirely too bois-
ferrous for vessels much more power
full than the City of Tampa to at
tempt to negotiate.

COAL. CHU TE
IS NOT HURT
G. F. & A. Dock Escapes
vvittrUuu eerIous INJURY,
Being Built High.

That the G. F. & A. dock did not
suffer to any great extent in the hur-
ricane Wednesday was the statement
of G. A. Berry, general manager of
the road at Pensacola, to The Jour
nal. Mr.. Berry stressed the value
of the high docks, which are five feet
above the ordinary pier in the city,
and said that had it not been for the
many barges, vessels and light craft
which drifted into the dock, it would
not have been harmed.
The bulkhead was unhurt, and only
minor parts of the structure were
damaged at all. The large piledriver
of the company was totally wrecked
when it was struck by drifting YES
sci, overturned and sunk.
The great coal chute, which is rap
idly nearing completion, was secured
firmly to the foundations of the dock
and no damage was sustained by the
structure. The huge tower is more
than $50 feet above seq. level, anc
being mounted on a truck many fear
ed that it would be blown over.

BIC WASHOUT
AT NJ AVID
Pensacola Entirely Cut Off.
Repair Break Today,
Say Officials.

Pensacola was entirely cut off from
communication with the outside world
yesterday when the culvert a little be-
yond McDavid burst, under the strain
of continued water pressure, a sixty
foot washout resulting.
Train No. 1 from Flomaton, due
here at o'clock Friday afternoon,
never arrived, and train No. 4, which
left here at 12:4O, was forced to re-
turn.
Telegraph messages the past two
days were taken by messenger to Flo
maton, and thence despatched. Rail-
road communication ended at Fiona
ton.
Wrecking crews were rushed to the
scene Immediately, and the break will
probably be repaired by this after
noon.

DAMAGE AT NAVY YARD
is NOTHING UNUSUAL:
REBUILD BETTER, PLAN n

The damage sustained by the navy
yard is no greater than would be ex-
pected in any seaport which is liable
to storms. A post exposed to the
full force of the wind must expect to
suffer some loss, but the harbor is
good and we rode out the gale very
nicely. The planking on the piers
was swept off by the rising tide, but
this would not have occurred had the
piers been built higher, which it is
my plan to do. There was other dam
age of various sorts, to repair which,
and to rebuild properly so there will
be no repetition of the loss, will re-
quire probably 100000"
With these words Captain n. G.
Muslin, commandant, summarized
conditions at the navy yard.
The Navy Yard.
A Journal representative went over
the navy yard Friday afternoon.
The planking on the piers is all
washed ashore, but the piling is left
standing. The face of the break
water is not damaged, though back
from the face the surface has sunk in
number of places. The hospital
fronting the sea is unroofed, screens
are blown down, and a number of
windows are out. Roofs and windows
are damaged throughout the yards.
Five condemned aeroplanes were
partially destroyed. They were on
the beach adjoining the yard; the
wings were cut away and the engines
and pontoons were saved.
A number of electric wire poles are
down.

Posdna$er Hancock is another
i've wire.
Friday norning, when The Jour
7al was making arrangements to
send the papers telling of the storm
70 Milton by auto, to be distributed
thence throughout West Florida,
Mr.. Hancock decided to route the
nail tiie same way. There is rail-
road connection from River juno
ton to Jacksonville. Railroad of
hcials here declined to assume any
fnaneiaI responsibility, preferring
to wait on the restoration of serv-
Ice to handle the mail, but Mr..
Hancock said:
I'll pay for it myself"
The Journal, however, insisted
on having the expense; and short
" before noon Friday an automo-
bile, heavily loaded with mail and
Journals left for Milton. The car
was driven by c. D. Suggs, and
was in charge of B. B. Clegg, su-
perintendent of mails.

Meeting in adjourned session yes
terday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the city
charter board heard no report from
the special committee named to pro-
pose a charter for submission to the
people, and an adjournment was
taken, subject to the call of the chair
man. Those members present yes
terday were P. K. Yonge, chairman;
NJ. L. Bear, L. DEM. Blocker, John
Christie, R. NJ. Cary, John A. Merritt,
Will L. Meyer, Chas. ]. Levey, Clar-
ence NJ. Sweeney and John G. Welsh.
Eight members constitute a quo
rum, and when that number had been
reported in the council chamber,
Chairman Yonge called the meeting
to order. The minutes of the last
meeting were read and adopted as
read.
Chairman Merritt, of the special
committee named to select and report
for consideration upon charter I'M
der which the city will be operated if
the people so elect, stated when asked
if his committee was ready to report,
that the committee had been unable
to get together land that further time
was asked. In asking for further
time, Chairman Merritt announced
that the committee was looking for
and expecting the cooperation OF
every member Of the charter board
and he also announced that if any
citizen or citizens had any sugges
tons to offer the special committed
would be pleased to consider such
and he asked that any such sugges
tion. be in writing and sent to the
chairman of the special committee. Il
making this latter announcement, Mr.

BOAT RAMS
P. & A. BRIDGE
Train Service Interrupted
Between Milton and
Crestview.

Service over the P. & A. division of
the L. & n. was discontinued yester-
day between Milton and Crestview,
but is expected to be resumed today.
Many passengers in Pensacola had
planned to go to Milton by boat and
East by rail, were held in Pensacola
until all repairs can benz ade.
It was reported that the accident
was at the BIackwater bridge and was
caused by a steamer running into the
structure seriously damaging it, and
making connection with River juno
ton impossible.
After the hurricane Wednesday
the L. & N. intended to operate this
division Of the road, until the rest
Of the system could be repaired, but
with the accident Friday, only the line
from Crestview to River Junction can
be operated.
A party of officials from Pensacola
left the city Friday morning for Mil
ton to investigate the damage to the
bridge and commence repairing it, SO
that traffic could be resumed as soon
as possible.

TWO COMPLAINTS
OF LIVE WIRES

Two complaints of as many live
wires were made last night. One of
these, which was said to be extreme
ly dangerous, was at the corner OF
Chase and Spring streets, the other
being at or near the corner of Gads-
den street and Seventh avenue. They
were reported during the night to the
Pensacola Electric Conpany'c depart
ment.
During the past few days electri-
clans have been going over the city
with a fine tooth comb, looking for
wires which might offer . menace to
the public before the current was
turned on. This was before the street
lights were turned on, and the fact
that only two complaints were made
shows how effectuaIly these electri'
clans did their work, for there were
scores of wires crossed or down or
the ground completely, following
Wednesdays turbulent weather.

VIOLATION Of.
PUREFOODA ACT
ALLEGED HERE
SHERIFF SEXES
SIP SACKS FEED
Federal Government Also
Short hts.

Alleging violation of the Florida
pure food and drug act, State Pure
Food Inspector Mckinney yesterday
reported the presence in three ware
houses in Pensacola of a. total of 512
sacks of feed products. The alleged
violation, it was represented, consist
ed in the claim that the sacks were
under legal weight.
The complaint was made to the of
fee of the sheriff, and as soon as pos
sible Chief Deputy Hoffman and an
assistant visited each of the three
warehouses in which the feed had
been located, and took all in possess
sion, confiscating the same. The prod
uct thus seized will be held pending
an adjudication of the case.
Thirty-one sacks of what is billed
as corn chops, shipped by the Nelson
Grain company of Kansas City, were
found in one warehouse. These were
seized, and are now in possession of
the sheriff, under such seizure.
In the next warehouse which was
visited, 346 sacks of corn chops,
shipped to Pensacola by the Great
Western Grain company, also of
Kansas City, were seized. These
were carefully counted, weighed in
lots of ten, and then piled in said
warehouse. They are also held under
the sheriff's seizure.
In the third warehouse a total OF
135 sacks of mixed horse feed were
seized, after, it was claimed, the sacks
had showed up short weights. This
lot was shipped by the John Wade
Sons company, of Memphis, Tenn.
1t is claimed, and will be SO stated
by the state, that the sacks so seized
show short weight of from three tc
five and one-half pounds on an aver.

NO STORM IS
HEADED HERE
Hurricane in Tennessee Now
and the Barometer
is Rising.

Statements that another storm is
headed this way is discredited by un-
official reports from the weather bu-
reau, and although communication
with the outside world is impossible,
the path of the storm has been traced
with great degree of accuracy.
It is estimated that the hurricane
went northwestward, passing Mobile
and blowing inland to Mississippi,
veering to the northeast and passing
into Tennessee, blowing almost due
east.
Early Friday morning the barome-
ter began dropping, and the sign
was thought to mean that the storm
would be repeated. Later in the aft
ernoon the pressure began steady
rise and was well up when the last
observation was taken Friday night,
The low pressure during the after
noon is credited to the closeness o1
the storm to north and West Florida
when it passed to the north, bringing
Pensacola very near the depressed
area.
No weather report was issued from
the local office Friday, and none vii
he issued until communication is es
tablished.

that we want to do, or to offer to the
people, and have already consumed
about thirty of those days. Therefore,

This suggestion from Mr.. Meyer
brought out quite discussion, and
this terminated when Mr.. Merritt
stated that not longer than ten days
would be required to get up a report,
which would be offered the entire
charter board for amendment, revis-
ion or adoption, as the case might be.
1t was plain that the members of the
board realized, as one member ex-
pressed it, that they chad = big job
on hand" and that they should get
it through as quickly as possible.
Chairman Yonge announced that
the committee was DESTROYS of get
ting suggestions from each member
of the charter board, as well as the
public, and stated that, thus far, out
of about three dozen cities written to,
copies of charters of twenty-five had
been received, and five cities had sent
no reply.
Mr.. Blocker stated that he did no,
offer suggestion as to the course
the committee might pursue, but
thought that the sooner the report
was made the better. He said at pres.
emit the committee, as well as the
charter board, were in the dark as tC
what might be but up to the people
After the committee, as stated, haC
been given more time for report
Chairman Yonge asked if any mem
Der had anything to offer, and thel
asked if any citizen had anything il
the way of suggestion to offer TIT
board. No response to either inquir,
was received, and motion was hear
to adjourn.

That Mobile suffered severely in
the storm is confirmed by terse mes

stating that it rode out the hurricane
safely in Mobile harbor, and that
there was great dana ge to shipping
there.
All efforts to reach Mobile proved
unavailing. The Journal started a
representative to Fairhope Friday,
whence communication might be OBJ
tanned with Mobile, but the Perdido
river was out of banks, and the at
tempt had to be abandoned.
All attempts to get in radio touch
with Mobile were frustrated Friday
