MANY SEE A|RPLANE
TIP OVER IN HARBOR

Quite a number of people along the
waterfront were watching the air
plane piloted by Lieut.. Spencer yes
terday just before noon when it made
a dive into the water, just when the
great machine seemed to have been
maneuvering to settle on the surface.
Watching through glasses, one par
ty telephoned to a launch agency, and
a fast boat started out for the res
cue of the aviator, but the assistance
of the private launch was not needed,
for the speed boat from the aeronautic
station came roaring along the bay,
about As miles an hour, and soon had
the aviator, dripping from his dive,
safely aboard.
The machine, apparently uninjured
was towed back to the station, and
was placed in the hangar during the
afternoon

RECORD CATCH OF
SHRIMP REPORTED

A record catch of shrimp was re-
ported by Chas. Mead yesterday aft
ernoon when his boat slid up to the
west side of Palafox wharf and start
ed discharging several hundred
pounds. The force at the Saunders
Fish Company had to work overtime
to take the catch and place it in
cold storage until they could be packed
for shipment to numerous out-of- town
customers of this company.
The shrimp are taken from the
bottom of Pensacola bay, and nets
are spread and allowed to sink to
the bottom. These, carefully pulled
together as handled by drawstring,
pick up many pounds at time and
when drawn to the surface, mass
of wiggling shrimp are to be seen.
Yesterdays catch was large, and one
of the party stated that shrimp were
in such quantities that at times it was
thought the net had fouled one of the
barrels of rosin which are known to
have sunk in the bay after drifting
from the storage yards at the old
Wright mill site, in the late October
storm.
The Pensacola shrimp is fast be-
coming much sought delicacy in
many markets, and New Orleans is
one of the largest buyers.

NEW SMACK Be IN
commission SOON

1t was announced from an authori-
tative source last night that the new
smack, Williams, which was lately
purchased by the Warren Fish Com
pany, will shortly be placed in COM
mission, and the notable addition 20
this fleet is expected to render good
accounting once commissioned.
This vessel, purchased by the pres
ent owners, was formerly pilot boat
off the port of Charleston. Because
of having been in that service, it was
necessary to extensively remodel the
interior of the vessel, building new
ice boxes and furnishing up quarters
for crew and captain. All this costly
work is now complete, and it is ex-
pected the new vessel will sail for the
snapper banks within the next few
days.

DEFENDANT Gets
DIRECTED VERDICT

In the court of record yesterday
the case of Franklin VS.. VIM. Durham
was brought to a sudden ending when,
upon the furnishing of certain testi-
mony, the court directed verdict for
the defendant, who is stevedore, the
plaintiff being an employee on a ship
which recently loaded cargo at this
point.
Franklin, it appeared, was injured
in some manner aboard the Italian
steamship Metlaoui, which some
months ago loaded miscellaneous
cargo at this point. Franklin, it is
asserted, received his injuries when
struck by a bucket which was filled
with pig iron. He charged the ship
or the stevedore with responsibility
but this stand was not upheld, and
upon certain admissions, the case
went in favor of the defendant.
This was the only case up for trial
in this court during the day. A mum
Der, however, appeared and pleaded
guilty to doing business without IL
cense, and were required to pay costs
or ten days in the county Jail.

GADSDEN COUNTY
HAS GOOD CROPS
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL


Quincy, Fla, Dec. 5.-With the
heavy frosts of last week the harvest
ing of a pretty crop was closed which
has paid to the farmers of this coun-
ty a handsome sum. In the early
fall the tobacco lands which usually
lie idle and which are protected from
the hot rays of the sun by shades
were planted in snap beans. 1t is
estimated that about one hundred and
fifty acres were planted and eighteen
solid carloads shipped.
These brought a fine price, even
retailing in Quincy for ten cents per
quart. Mr.. Walter Maxwell, farm
er near Quincy, realized about 81 900
from six acres of beans. This has
encouraged the farmers to put in
sixty acres in English peas and later
they expect to put considerable acre
age in lettuce.
At recent meeting of the Kings
Daughters, committees were appoint
ed for packing the Christmas boxes
for the poor. These will be arranged
at the last meeting in December.
The boxes always contain besides
good supply of groceries and warm
clothing, old school books and maya
zines accumulated throughout the
year, scraps for piecing quilts, toys
and games for children, box of
Christmas surprises, etc. The mer-
chants of Quincy always give the
purchasers of these articles reduced
prices.

ton of G. N. and A. M. Williamson's
popular novel, 1.-THE Shop Girl" in
which the feminine lead is portrayed
by Edith Storey, produced by the
Vitagraph Company under the direc-
ton of George D. Baker, known on
the screen as plain Antonio Moreno
comes from one of the most aristo
cratic families in Spain. He was
born in Madrid, on September 10th
1888, where he spent the first four
teen years of his life.
1t was type and the fact that he
was a perfect Photographic subject
that was the means of introducing
Mr.. Moreno to moving pictures. A
try-out with one of the big producing
companies and farsightedness as
to the possibilities of the silent
drama, induced him to forsake the
legitimate stage for the newer field
of endeavor. The goal OF his ambi-
ton was to become member of the
Vitagraph company, and early in 1914
he was enrolled as a stock member
becoming one of the Vitagraph stars.
He has played leading parts in "The
Island of Regeneration" "The Dust
of Egypt" "a Price for Folly" ''Ken-
nedy Square" Con Her Wedding
