DEADHEAD FOREIGN
COACHES TO NORTH

Parked in the railroad vars near
the L. & N. passenger depot for the
past few days have Seen three pri-
fate cars of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway, distinguished by
their bright, red-hued sides and yell
low window trimmings. These cars
went through Pensacola during the
past week, to points, where soldiers
were transported, and are being re-
turned north via Pensacola. Hence
thy are 'dead-headed' through to home
lines, and it is said will remain lock-
ed until the nearest point of connec-
ton of the road which owns them is
reached.
The cars, instead of bearing num-
bers as passenger coaches usually do,
have names, and the three here were
known as the New York, Madison and
Hampshire.

NO CHANNEL HERE
HAS BEEN BLOCKED

According to a Mobile paper, the
"ship channel in Pensacola bay is
blocked by the schooner j. E. deBig-
non having ''been sunk in said chan
mel" and that crowd. of men are
working in an endeavor to raise the
vessel. The account further says
the schooner, after being raised, will
be unloaded and towed to Mobile for
repairs. The same article states that
the bark Avio will be towed there, for
repairs aggregating $4,000.
The fact of the matter is that the
bark Avio is now being salvaged, from
her position on Perdido wharf, where
the storm drove her last month, and
the other vessel the deBignon, which
is the craft which was found over
turned in the gulf and lowed to port,
is in an awkward position, over in the
western bay front, and in shoal water,
the stump of the mast having stuck In
the mud while being moved from Per
dido wharf to a point off the G. F,
& A, where it was proposed to place
the vessel on an even keel, and then
discharge cargo of lumber.

HEAVY TRUCK AND
4 FORD COLLIDE

At the intersection of Romano and
Palafox streets, late yesterday after
noon, heavy truck owned by Harry
Hallmark, on the way to the freighs
depot with large consignment of
freight, was struck by Ford auto
mobile, owned and driven by A.
Nicholson of Milton. The Ford was
considerable damaged. Witnesses
say that the truck actually ran over
the smaller vehicle.
Officer Burke was on hand shortly
afterward, and after an investigation,
placed the drivers under arrest,
charging reckless operation Of the We
hicles. Mr.. Nicholson was last night
anxious to get out of the city on his
way back to Milton, and appeared at
the police station with number of
friends in the hope of arranging the
case so that he would not be compell-
ed to remain over until the court this
morning.

PEARL EGAN HOME
NEED OF. CHICKENS

Nineteen children are at the Pearl
Eagan Home at present, and the
suggestion was made by Probation
Officer Sam S. Pinney, yesterday,
that, inasmuch as the good people of
Pensacola have in the past shown
such willingness to aid the worthy
institution, that those who have them
could do nothing more appreciative
than that of presenting the home with
chickens cough to reasonable guaran-
tee a supply of fresh eggs for the lit
tie unfortunates.
Mr.. Pinney stated that one good
friend has already offered one or two
hens, and he thought this a good be-
ginning. He said that he would be
glad to receive offers of such needed
gifts, and any offers from citizens in
this line would be highly appreciated.
The home has a great space for chick
en- raising, and as no fowls are there
up to the present time, it was thought
that this would be a fine time for
starting in the new line.

VAT At
PENSACOLA STEP
BETTER BATTLE

The dipping vat of the McKensie
Land Company was opened Thursday,
and is being used for the first time.
It was built to permit the shipment of
cattle from Florida to Alabama, to
the company's grazing land of Bald
win county.
The big vat is located at Olivia
street, and Garden, near the G. F. &
A. station, and unlike any other vat
in the county, is built practically on
the surface Of the land. In connec-
ton with the vat, large cattle yards
have been constructed, capable or
containing 500 head of carue.
The entire plant was erected under
the supervision of DR.. S. A. Knapp,
of the bureau of animal industry, and
is so built that any animal that has
been treated is never brought near
any animal that has not been.
As it is the intention Of the build
ers to insure perfect healthfulness,
arrangements have been made for
tests for tuberculosis.
The vat and yards were erected so
that the owners of cut over timber,
in which T. A. jennings, ]. F. Dus-
enberry, and H. A. Lurton are inter
ested could use the land for grazing
purposes, and to operate ranch for
breeding better cattle for this section.
To do this the laws governing ship
ment from one state into another
must be complied with. The company
already has large number of cat
tie on the range in Alabama, which
were bought in that state, but as lrge
numbers of cattle were already owned
it was thought best to provide some
means whereby Florida cattle can be
bought, dipped and shipped to the
ranch.
The vat viii be rented to private
parties at reasonable rates, which viii
be announced later.

STEEL AND PROSPERITY.

Republican campaign chatter about
Industrial calamity in the United
States following the war-it will GER
tainly be heard from ofice-hungry
patriots on the stump and in the press
will be unconvincing In the face Of
the obvious facts. Europe will begin
manufacturing and selling, naturally
enough, as soon after the war as she
can. But that will be q long time at
best. And Europe will be a heavy
buyer for years to come; the very
process Of rehabilitation will make de-
mands on United States Industries
that will keep our export trade BOOM
ing for years. The NATIONAL Bank Of
the Republic (of Chicago. in a recent
trade bulletin had this to say about
the steel business.
The untitled orders Of this one pro-
Queer on Feb. 20 reached the largest
total ever reported Incom-
ing business was 60 per cent in ex-
cess Of shipments, although the Or
ders already on the books would be
sufficient to maintain the present huge
output for more than six months with
out the acquisition of single addi-
tional order. The existing demand for
steel products is estimated to be just
double the productive capacity. The
rising prices are met without hest
fancy. Pig iron production
is now at the yearly rate of nearly
40,O00.000 tons, and the greater part
Of this output is contracted for six
months in advance"
Steel, the barometer Of trade" will
be fourishing as never before for the
coming years, regardless of war or
peace. Indeed, the greatest hold-back
to be feared in connection with our
own prosperity when peace comes is
inability Of the industry to supply the
heavy domestic demands. A slump In
the export Of war materials is inevita-
BILE, but general domestic business is
on too sound footing to suffer even
from the deliberate attempts of dem
agogues to hinder prosperity by Ca
lamity bowling.

IN PHILADELPHIA.

Evidently justice is fearfully and
wonderfully administered in Philadel-
phia. Ten years ago a Judge In that
city sentenced murderer to death.
Recently this same murderer appeared
before him on the charge of making
threats and the Judge expressed sur
prise. The Philadelphia Ledger, in
commenting on the case, says:
why, for years the average tough
in certain wards could with difficulty
be arrested, let alone indicted, or SEN
fenced, or serve his term, or be
hanged. And this is no fantasy; for
when one OF the most distinguished
lawyers ran for councils few years
back, the negroes of his ward were
organized against him by three of
their brethren, all Of whom had killed
their man. one having been released
by a kind-hearted Judge under sus-
pension of sentence, another having
been let go because of flaw in the in
dictment, and the other having served
but a fraction of his term, all en-
joying the blessings of citizenship
and the sweet freedom to oppose any
candidate who did not believe In let
ting things run and the devil take the
reformers! Surely, the coming back
of Judge Audenried's murderer is SO
little unusual that the judicial sur
prise is q surprise in ITSELF"

olutely refused to lend Car Nicholas a
single soldier and has even successful
ly resisted CONSUMPTION.
The present war is not popular in
Finland; in fact, nothing Russian is
popular there. Though subjugated, the
Finnish spirit is unbroken and its
nationalism is as strong as before the
conquest in 1743 and the attempted
classification in 1899. Today the Firms
are resisting Russian attempts to
force them to take part in the war as
obstinately as they did the attempts of
Russian military power to break their
nationalism.
When Russia decided, in 1899, to
make Finland Russian the car or
dered the disbanding of the Finnish
army battalions and confiscated the
military barracks and other military
property worth millions of dollars. He
suppressed the legislature, revoked
the constitution and attempted to con-
script the Firms into his own armies.
The Firms of military age refused to
serve. Punishment Of officials fol-
lowed. but the Firms made national
heroes Of the victims and the young
Firms still refused to serve in the
cars armies. Fines were levied upon
communities and when the commun-
tiles refused to pay the communal
properties were ordered sold for trib-
ute for the cars government, but no.
body came to buy and the sales we're
not held.
Finally this passive resistance won
and the car acknowledged his defeat
He was forced to restore the constitu-
ton and the old rights of the Finnish
battalions, Of which. the car has a
wholesome fear on their own terri
tory. Nominally Finland Is now a
Russian province; actually 1t is au-
tonomous and, in spite Of the criti-
cisms and jibes Of the reactionry Rus
sian press, Finland has remained as
aloof from the present struggle as
Holland or Denmark, for, though the
Russian editors curse them for lack
of patriotism, the Films can see no
reason why they should fight for a
car whom they hate.

One OF Goods FOOls.o

II the great victory won by Henry
Ford in Michigan means anything, 1t
means that Michigan has not lost its
head. 1t means that the republican
masses In that state have not fallen a
prey to that hysteria which was sup
posed to have gripped the entire coun-
try.
Let 1t be borne in mind that Henry
Ford was not an active candidate for
presidential honors. Let it be borne in
mind that he endeavored to have his
name taken off the ballot and that he
sought to dissuade his friends from
casting their votes for him. Let 1t also
be borne in mind that Senator William
Alden Smith is very prince among
the militarist boomers. And remem-
Der that it was Gods Fool" who was
the senator's opponent
Under all the circumstances the de-
feat of Senator Smith was crushing.
He had all the machinery Of his party
at his command. The prestige of years
Of public service was his No one had
outrun him in the effort to stir the
country to a fury in favor of trans
forming the republic into a military
camp. Yet Michigan has coldly turned
him down in favor of despised pa
ciflst" who has had the temerity to
suggest that peace and not war is the
normal state Of man.
All sorts Of explanations other than
the true one have been and will be
made Of this remarkable turn in poll
tics. The militarists deride It as in
consequential, on the ground that the
Ford candidacy was a joke which the
voters in a spirit Of pure fun carried
out. They say 1t has no real signif-
canoe; that 1t carries with it no en-
dorsement Of the "millenialist" propa-
ganda; that 1t had no other meaning
than that Michigan republicans
couldn't miss so good a chance to play
horse. Yet they know that Henry Ford
could have got nowhere had he stood
for anything except the idea which is
now tndissolubly associated with his
name-the idea of preaching justice
and common sense In the settlement
of international difficulties rather than
force
And let no one doubt that Henry
Ford could turn this trick in other
states were he to go seriously about
the business or were his friends to do
So We're his name on the Pennsyl-
vania ballot in the May primaries, it
would be signal for some stirring
