LIST OF CHARTER
BOARD SIGNERS ARE
BEING CHECKED UP
CITY CLERK EGGART AND REG
ISTRATIoN OFFICER N. B. COOK
BUSY COMPARING NAMES ASK
ING FOR SUCH A MOVEMENT.

City Clerk c. W. Eggart and
Registration Officer N. B. Cook were
busy yesterday checking over the list
of 667 names which were signed to
the petition asking the city commits
sioners to order an election for the
charter board, the same to be held on
June 6, the date of the regular cleo
ton. The registration officer would
call the names and the street address
of each signer to the several petitions,
and the clerk would look up such voter
on the precinct book where his resi-
dence was given. Very few on the
lists were found to have been disqual-
flied.
This was the petition presented by
Manlius E. Morey at the late meeting
of the city commissioners, and it was
referred to the two officials who were
checking it over yesterday. The re-
suit of this check will be reported to
the commissioners at the next meet
ing, which will be on Monday of next
week, and should a suS1cIent number
of the signers be reported as making
up the required percentage warrant
ing the calling of the election of the
charter board, the resolution as asked
for, viii be passed.

BINGHAM WILL
NOT Be CANDIDATE
HAS NO IDEA OF OPPOSING THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
CITY COMMISSIONERS.

It has been freely rumored for the
past two days that F. F. Bingham
would run in the general city election
as republican in opposition to Geo.
Hinrichs, the democratic nominee for
the Office of city commissioner, but
Mr.. Bingham last night put the ru-
NOR to rest in the following charac-
teristic statement:
81 cannot consider it, though I
would like to run, and it is my am
bition to sometime secure an elective
office in Pensacola regardless of the
democratic primary. 1t would be a
good thing for something like that
to happen, not only for Pensacola
with her nation wide interests, but
for the local democratic party itself"

NIGHT PRACTICE At
FORTS A PUZZLE To
STEAMER CAPTAIN
NORWEGIAN VESSEL, JUST Ar
IRVING FROM THE AZORES FOR
ORDERS, RUNS INTO SEARCH
LIGHTS AND SHELLS.

When the Norwegian steamship
Ragna, just from the Azores, neared
Pensacola light Wednesday night,
reception quite unlooked-for greeted
the ship, for, with the screaming of
shells, the reverberation of big coast
defense guns and three searchlghts
playing upon his vessel at the same
time, the captain, who came ashore
yesterday afternoon decided that the
best thing he could do was to at
least get out of range Of coast de-
tense guns until more favorable pc
Rod of approach, and instead of the
steamer anchoring near shore for the
night, she took tack, ran into deep
water for ten or twelve miles and
then after day dawned, approached
the bar.
The Ragna came for orders, but did
not come inside. Her skipper board
ed a ship runners launch late in the
afternoon and came up to the city,
leaving the steamer anchored off
shore, near the sea buoy, awaiting
orders from his owners. 1t was stated
last night that the steamer would like
ly be ordered this morning to New
port News or Norfolk for cargo of
coal.
Notice was given by the comman-
der of the post few days ago of the
program of night firing, and all mas
ters of vessels were given orders to
remain outside the danger zone, and
should they have to cross a certain
line, that they display their lights on
all sided.

THE tNCAMPMENT
VERY LIKELY COME
HERE THIS SUMMER
COL. C. D. MILLS ANNOUNCED
PREVIOUS TO DEPARTURE
FOR JACKSONVILLE THAT
PENSACOLA IS FAVORED.

According to Col. Chas. D. Mills,
sovereign sentry, w. o. W., who has
voice in saying just where the an
nual encampements will take place,
Pensacola is looked upon with exceed
ing great favor, and there is every
reason to believe, he said, that this
would be selected for the 1916 en-
campment. Just previous to his de-
parture for Jacksonville last night,
after a pleasant official visit to the
local lodges, Colonel Mills stated that
he would unhesitating1y recommend
the encampment for Pensacola, but it
would be ten days, or two weeks be-
fore he would know whether or not
the said recommendation would be
endorsed.
A year ago seven or eight hundred
members of the uniform rank, Wood
men of the World, spent a week un-
der canvass at Palmetto Beach, and
it was pronounced one of the most
enjoyable encampments ever held.
The choppers" from the inland
points who came here In large num-
bers were overjoyed at the prospect
of bathing which the salt water af-
forded, and they enjoyed it to their
utmost. For: days and days previous
to the disbanding of the camp, Pen
sacola was pronounced the indeai en-
campment spot, and it was freely pre-
dicted that a return would be made.
Colonel Mills, with P. T.. Rollo and
Col. B. w. Jewell, also of the Sow
ereign camp, made trip to Palmetto
Beach yesterday, and Colonel Jewell
who did not attend the encampment
of last year, at once was impressed
with such q site. He said without
hesitation that Palmetto Beach was
the spot eminently suitable for the
encampment. Colonel Mills said that
If it was left to him alone, the uni
form rank would again come to ZEN
sacola, where such an enjoyable week
was spent last year, and then he said
that he had recommended the encamp-
ment again at Palmetto Beach.
Should the uniform rank come
again this year it will mean the as
sembling of more than ore thousand
men. The encampment last year went
a long way toward the encourage.
ment of Woodcraft, and teams have
been formed in all cities and towns
where there are camps. It may mean
the gathering of $500 men.
Colonel Mills and Colonel Jewel
were busy men yesterday, VISITING
many points of interest, seeing many
objects of interest. They watched The
daring exploits of three aeroplanes
from the Pensacola station as they
circled and circled high in the air, like
great birds, but they saw this, the
naval Ships and great merchant ship.
at the only spot in the country where
such objects are stationed, and the1
will both have good reason to remem
Der their Pensacola visit, just con
cluded. They both left on the cas-
bound train last night for jackson
vile.

THIEVES RANSACK
THE AVERY HOME

During the absence of the family
of Judge Avery, the latter's residence
was forced Wednesday night and a
thief or thieves ransacked the beau
tiful home, taking, among other
things, fine overcoat, dress suit
and small amount of money. The
police investigated and Captain Wilde
reported that entrance to the home
had been made by the forcing of a
window. A description of the stoler

Supplies Being
Shipped to the
Forces IN Mexico
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

San Antonio, Texas, April 49,
Supplies are being shipped to Cases
Grandes over the Mexico Northwest
ern railroad for distribution to the
expeditionary force as rapidly as the
limited use of the line will permit.
1t was announced at headquarters to-
day that additional stores will go for
ward under the existing shipping ar
rangement.
This, coupled with General Per
shing's action in moving his head
quarters to Satevo, forty miles south
of Chihuahua, on the same day that
the report of Villas death was given
wide circulation, was taken as an
indication that army officials do not
place credence in the report.

They act so gently that you hardly

to myself Of what1 am just about
to say, | think any citizen of Ten.
nessee, regardless Of politics, may
well be proud of its delegation in
the house Of representatives Of the
congress of the United States. But
Mr.. Speaker, the making Of such a
record would have been impossible
without the long and continuous
service with which the people Of
the State of Tennessee have honor
ed its representatives on this body.
Mr.. Speaker, ! hope | may be
pardoned if ! now give a somewhat
detailed statement Of the record OF
the Tennessee delegation in the

length Of service and the character
of same as to committee assign
ments.'
Judge Sims then declared that

dom Of returning members to con-

CagO Convention,


R. M. Gates, writing to the Mem
Nphis Commercial Appeal from Wash
ington several days ago made the
following forecast Of the work Of the
Republican convention at Chicago
on the 7th Of June: Charles Hughes,
OF New York, for President; Charles
w. Fairbanks, Of Indiana, for Vice
President; Theodore Roosevelt, Of
New York, for United States Sena-
tor, to succeed James O'Gorman
(DemocraD who will not seek re-
election; and Gen. Leonard Wood,
as the head of a commission for an
elaborate program for national pre-
paredness. Of course all this will
not be actually done at Chicago,
but Col. Roosevelt is to be mention
ed as a worthy successor to Elihu
Root in the Senate and Gen. Wood
is to be recommended to the head Of
such a commission as that referred
to. Just a little waiting and the
whole country can put Bob Gates
into the class to which he belongs
as a wise manor q darn good Of
poor euesser.
