ELBOW-DEEP IN QUICK MUD OF
FLATS, STEELE NEARLY GAVE UP

Paul Steele, well known light
weight boxer and athletic instruc-
tor, has faced many a tough op-
ponent in the ring without a
qualm. He has taken punishment
unflinchingly and has even ac-
copied a knockout with never a
whimper.

in the quick-mud of the Ia

1t was as narrow an escape
from terrible, dragging death as
anyone would care to have.
Paul and Jim Noonan were
hunting together. Noonan re-
manned in a blind near the decoys
while Paul wandered off across
the flats. The boxer was some
distance away from the blind when
he decided to return. Instead OF

NEW SCHEME
IS SUGGESTED
Plan to Police the Border
Jointly is Abandoned
by Commission.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. ia sugges-
ton that the Mexican government
create a constabulary for border duty
similar to the rurales of the Diaz
regime was made at today's brief
session of the American Mexican
commission.
Apparently the plan to police the
border jointly was abandoned as i'm
practicable by the commissioners,
after comforting with Major General
Bliss.
There is reason to believe that the
American commissioners have i'm
pressed on the Mexicans that Mexico
must recognize the responsibility for
depredations of her nationals if the
good relations of the two countries
are to be unimpaired.
The commissioners vii meet again
Monday.

GREAT BRITAIN SAYS AMERICAN
SHIPMENTS TO SCANDINAVIA AND
HOLLAND MUST BE STOPPED
American Exporters Will
Suffer; Order Conplicates
Trades Controversy.
BY Associated PREss.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Dfspatches
from London, evidently delayed until
accompanied today by explanations
from Lord Robert Cecil, minister of
war trade, caused considerable COM
ment here by announcing that Amer
lean shipments to Holland will be
stopped.
In addition, Great Britain will, de-
cline to grant letters of assurance for
American shipments destined for
Scandinavia.
According to delayed London dis
patches, this is the British plan of re-
tanning neutral the countries of Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark and Holland,
under which no further licenses will
be granted for the present to British
exporters, and it now has been APP
piled to the United States.
Neutral diplomats in London believe
two reasons induced Great Britain to
adopt this plan. First, its simplicity,
which enables the government to con-
troll supplies at the source, and, sec
ond, the growing neutral's bill for de-
murrage on ships taken to Kirkwall.
Lord Cecil in his explanation, said the
orders applied only to certain pro-
hibited articles and not to trade in
general. He said the neutrals lin
seven months had already received a
years supplies of certain articles
Therefore, it is not logical to stop
British exports to these articles and
let America continu eto send them.
In the absence of information here,
officials do not know how heavily the
American exporters will suffer.
Steps to get information have been
taken by the state department, which
called today's news dispatches to the
attention of the British embassy.
Views We're expressed, however, that
the order seriously complicates the
British-American trade controversy.

RECOVER GOODS
STOLEN RECENTLY

Two watches and pistol, stolen a
few nights ago from the home of N.
Kaiser, on West Brainard street, were
recovered last night and a negro
named Frank Coppage was arrested
by Officer Chestnut and held as a
dangerous and suspicious character.
Coppage was said to have been the
party who fo--ed an entrance to the
Kaiser home in the absence of the
family taking the goods recovered
last night.
Special Officer Bobe located the
stolen pistol during the night and evil
dence pointed to Coppage as the one
who had taken the goods from the
home. The latter's arrest by Officer
Chestnut soon followed, with the re-
suit that practically all the stolen
articles were recovered. These will
be held as evidence against the sus-
pected negro, who will be turned
over to the county authorities. Upon
his case being completed in the court
of record, Mr.. Kaiser will receive
the property which he had reported
as having been stolen.

KEEP COAST GUARD
STATION OPEN ALL
MONTHS OF THE YEAR

That the coast guard station on
Santa Rosa Island will probably be
in active service the entire year, in
stead of the ten months as heretofore,
is the statement of the acting secre-
tary of the treasury, B. r. Newton, in
a letter to Senator Duncan u. Fetch
er.
The matter of maintaining the sta
ton was presented to Senator Fetch
er by James F. Phillips, secretary of
the chamber of commerce, who cited
the accident to the steamship Oxon-
ian, which was on fire, and could not
get assistance from the life saving
station here as the station was closed
during the months of June and July.
Mr.. Phillips suggested that the sta
ton remain open during June and
July when storms are frequent and,
if necessary, to close it during April
and May. Senator Fletcher referred
the letter TO the proper department
and the reply of the secretary, for
warded by Senator Fletcher to Mr..
Phillips, is as follows:
my Dear Senator:
Replying to your letter of the 9Th
inst, enclosing communication from
Mr.. James F. Phillips, secretary of
the chamber of commerce, Pensacola,
Fla, regarding the coast guard sta
ton at Santa Rosa Island, | take
pleasure in advising you that it is
contemplated to maintain the station
In active operation during the entire
year. Prior to the passage Of the
recent naval appropriation act, the
law specified the month during which
the stations on the Atlantic and gulf
coasts could be operated, leaving this
department no discretion in the mat
ter. The naval appropriation act, re-
Gently passed, has changed the old
law so that all coast guard stations
may be operated during the entire
year, in the discretion of the secre-
tary of the treasury.
