nY ASSOCIATED pREss.

Cleveland, April 1.-Two police
men were beaten and injured here to-
day by a mob of three hundred strik-
ers and strike sympathizers at the
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co. steel plant.
POlice reserves were called to dis
perse the mob and rescue the beaten
officers. Two were arrested.
The attack was made when the po-
licemen tried to clear a path to the
factory entrance. Stones and bricks
were hurled, and the policemen were
felled by the missile and then dubbed.
The strikers left their work yester-
day because Of dissatisfaction over
working conditions. They have made
no demands, officials say, and labor
leaders admit the strikers are not or
ganized.

GERS and state department officials did
not seem willing tonight to credit the
report that Villa had died of blood
poisoning from his wound. They sug-

1t was admitted here that Villas ex-

Pershing's operations has been re-

SUBMARINE QUESTION
DISCUSSED BY CABINET
Germany Will Be Told Her
Promises Are of No
Value.
d Assoc1ATp PRESS

Washington, April 1.-THE gen.
eral outline Of the future course of
the United States in the submarine
issue with Germany is understood to
have been agreed on at q meeting Of
the president and his cabinet today.
Final action, however, was postponed
pending the receipt of German notes
regarding the Sussex and other cases
which are now on their way from Ber-
lin to Washington.
1t is known from confidential adj
vices from Ambassador Gerard that
Germany win deny any German sub
marine torpedoed the Sussex and dis
claim blame in connection with other
attacks. Consequently the United
States reply probably will not deal
exclusively with any one case OF
group of cases. IF such communica-
ton as the United States now con-
templates is sent to Germany it will
make it plain that the reiterated as
surances and promises of Germany
are not sufficient to protect the
friendly relations between the two
countries if the illegal attacks or
merchantmen carrying Americans are
continued.
The state department. Is engaged II
collecting evidence covering the
whole history of Germany's subma
rine operations.

Tax One-Quarter Mill.
HOPE TO START
WORK AT ONCE
Federal Government Will
Aid and Escarnbia Soon
Will Be Tick Free.

Escambia county is to aid In tick
eradication by assessing tax of one
quarter of a mill that this work may
be carried through successfully. This
assessment will produce sufficient
funds to rid the county Of ticks with
in the period of one year so that no
tax viii be necessary the second year.
This was decided by the board of
county commissioners last night when
a resolution was adopted, pledging
the board to make the tax levy.
A committee composed of DIR.
Knapp, L. w. Hardy, w. M. Herrider
and S. W. Hiatt, representing the Es-
Gambia County Live Stock association
called on the board and presented a
plea in the interest of tick eradica-
tion. They pledged the support of
the state and United States IL the
board would assist them IN this work.
On motion of Commissioner Bag
gett, seconded by Commissioner
White, the board passed a resolution
to the effect that it would embody in
the coming budget levy Of one-quar-
ter Of one mill to be used for the pur-
pose of eradicating the tick. Com
missioner Davis failed to vote on the
motion.
The committee stated 70 the board
that financial arrangements had been
nalse to put the work forgard and
hoped to have the quarantine against
Escambia lifted this year.
The voting place for precinct No.

bids for the purchase of one five-tor

THOUSANDS Of
FRENCH ARE
CAPTURED
~ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, April 11.-By Wireless to
'Sayville.-Since February 81 the
Germans have captured more than
$4,000 French near Verdun, the Over
seas News Agency announced today.
''West of the Mouse about 25 square
kilometres of ground has been Occur
pied" the announcement says.
German newspapers point out that
the French now say Bethincourt was
evacuated In accordance with plans
previously made. Nevertheless It has
been ascertained that an order was
issued stating: This important place
must be held in all circumstances
The fact that more than 700 unwound-
ed French prisoners were taken and
that the French losses in killed or
wounded were far greater is proof
that the French plan Of evacuation
could not be carried out SIS intended.
According to the French reports
the new line runs from the southern
corner Of Avocourt wood along the
first slopes Of Hill No. S04, thence
along the southern bank of FORCES
brook, passing to the northeast Of
Haucourt; turning eastward, crosses
the Bethincourt- Esnes road at a
point south Of the junction Of that
road with the highway to Chattan-
court, and reaches the Mouse just
north of Cumieres. The fortifca-
lions of the village of Avocourt,
which is south Of Ayocourt wood,
were destroyed by the German adj

Gulf Highway
A Great Asset
For Pensacola
c. w. Parker Believes
Road Would Draw Many
Visitors to City.

c. w. Parker of the firm Of Wat
son, Parker & Reese Co., a progress
sive citizen and worker in any move
ment for the betterment of the city,
is a strong believer in the Gulf Beach
Highway. He said yesterday:
IF this movement can be financed
it will prove wonderful asset for
Pensacola, and will be the means of
supplying a winter and summer re-
sort that will draw not only tourists
from the northern states but also
from nearby territory.
There is nothing the south, and
especially West Florida, needs so
much as good roads, and the move
ment for better highways has already
done much for the development of
Florida. Pensacola has long needed
a good road to the gulf beach and q
recreation center such as it is pro-
posed to establish, not only for the
pleasure Of visitors, but for the CON
venience of those who make their
home here all the year round, and
who should have some easily accessi.
bic means of reaching the gulf beach.

SOUTHWARK RUSH TAKES
D0DD OUT or COMMUNICATION

Ell Paso, Texas, April 1.-The
southwark rush Of the American cav
airy forces pursuing Villa has been
so rapid that It has carried Colonel
Dodd and his troops far beyond all
lines of communication.
officials Of the Carranza govern
ment in Juarez are making attempts
today TO gain information over the
Mexican land lines in regard to the
advance position of the American
troops.
Army officials at Fort Bliss believe
that when the expeditionary comman-
ders get in touch with Major General
Funston they win report that the
American troops have engaged the
villa forces in battle. Reports that
a battle has been fought with Villa
bands south Of Saturvo we're current
carly today, but there was nothing to
confirm these reports.
While the American cavalry are
combing the country at the far end
OF the attenuated end of cammunica-
tons, there was little apprehension
over their position, for it was felt al
Fort Bliss that Dodd's men could
fight themselves out of any uncom.

short talk.
The election was 8 quiet one and
comparatively little interest was man
Tested. A total of 1898 votes vera
polled, being slightly IN excess of ths
estimated number, but this was &C
counted for by the downtown pre-
cincts polling almost their full
strength.
USED SECOND CHOICE.
The voters, especially those in the
uptown precincts, used the second
choice privilege to large extent, and
that accounts for the victory of Mr..
Hinrichs. On first choice votes Mayer
Greenhut took commanding lead, re-
ceiving s55, Mr.. Hinrichs 685, Mr.. Nc.
Nance So and Mr.. Rollo 400. The
great majority voting for Rnllo and
MeNamee selected Hinrichs for their
second choice, and this big vote gave
him a majority over Mayor Green
hut. Of the 304 Rollo and McNamee
second choice votes Mayor Greenhut
received only 50, while Mr.. Hinrichs
polled 252s making the final vote
stand: Greenhut, GOT; Hinrichs, 9S7.

Of the fact that they did not UNDER
stand She FIRST and second choice pro-
visions.
RETURNS cANvASSED.
The city Democratic Executive
Committee met in the city hall last
night and canvassed the returns az
they were received from the polling

and paraded the streets, first going to
the home Of the successful candidate
and then to various places Ia the city.
Stopping in front of The Journal Of
fee, Mr.. Hinrichs was called upon for
a short speech.
Words fail me in an attempt to
express my feelings Of gratitude"
said Mr.. Hinrichs. "For young man
one they called a beachcomber'
during the campaign--to defeat
Adolph Greenhut, mayor Of Pensa-
cola, is indeed an honor Of which
should feel proud and / do.
81 promise to give you the best that
is in me. I viii do the very best
can, and if I don't do better than the

to step down and out.
| Mayor Greenhut's term expires the
first Tuesday in June, when his sue
cessor is chosen IN the general city
