word that next year the bar against

during the past season. is to be lifted.
Only Austrian. Hungarian and German
Jockeys were given licenses 10 ride

been so great that the racing prnmot-

In the past American jockeys have
been the principal outsiders. In gen

BUILDINGS ARE
DOWN At GARNIER5

Much damage was suffered at Gar
niers Bayou Friday when a tornado
struck the village, according to the
statement of F. w. Marsh, clerk of
the federal court, who has been on. a
weeks visit to up-sound points. Many
buildings were blown down and the
crop was greatly damaged, but as far
as could be learned no one was killed.
Several other parties from up the
sound stated that in places along the
sound, wide cleared areas through the
woods could easily be seen, which
showed that such a storm HAD passed.
Very frequently, it was said, sthese
tornadoes form on the southeastern
part of tropical hurricane some dis
lance off, and follow its path. they
very seldom last long, and work a
great deal of damage wherever they
strike.

DAMAGED COTTON
TAKEN FROM SHIP

Practically all damaged cotton in
the steamship Oxonian had been re-
moved when the gangs Of workmen
left the G. F. & A. wharf yesterday
afternoon, and, beginning this morn
ing, it will be the purpose of a sur
veying board to ascertain if possible
if all fire has been extinguished, and
if there is any further reasonable
danger Of cotton becoming ignited.
The origin of the fire remains a
complete mystery, and officers aboard
the Leyland liner assert positively
that they have no idea what started
the fire, as extra precautions have
been taken to guard against any such
occurrences.
The damaged cotton has been
strewn along the wharf, and on the
sandy part of the dock. It is posi-
bic that very little, if any, is ever re-
loaded on the Oxonian.

hogs. The farmers are not so situated
that they can successfully organize

In response to questions by mem

that as much corn is produced to the

OCEAN FREIGHTS
ON LUMBER RISE
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Rome, June neutrality-suspicious. of
the Associated Press.-ocean freights
on American lumber have increased
ten-fold since the war began and the
Italian government is beginning to
make inroads on its own precious re-
serve stocks of standing timber.
There are about $4,000 square miles
of forest area in Italy, or one-seventh
of the total area of the country.
Mont Of the timber wood is found in
the Apennine mountains, which fol-
low the entire length of Italy, begin
ming north of Genoa and rising out
of the fertile plains of Piedmont.
The wood is being used by the gov
eminent in large quantities for the
construction of soldier barracks at
the front, for strengthening trenches,
for railroad and foot or wagon bridges
along the countless new roads built
at the front, as part of the arnly's
transportation system. Much Of this
lumber is carried piece by piece far
above the timber line of the noun
tains, where the soldiers are fighting
on barren glaciers.
The kind of wood being cut in
Italy's forest is fir, oak and sycamore,
woods formerly imported from Aus
tria. Until recently many ship loads

ports Of the United States, were de-

LINEMEN TELL OF.
STORM FROM EAST
COAST TO THIS CITY

Nine linemen who started out last
Thursday to work their way to PEN
sacola from Jacksonville, repairing
the wire as they made their way from
the east coast, arrived in Pensacola
last night. They were bedraggled-
looking bunch, and, according to the
statement of one of the party, when
they sat in a local restaurant last
night at 10 o'clock and satisfied a
hunger which had been about half
way satisfied for the past five or six
days, they made the statement that
it was the first warm food they had
eaten since leaving jacksonville. Food
was procurable in a way, they said
but unless it was in stock there was
little chance of getting it on the
route along which they worked, this
being especially true in the country
'eYou all did not have a storm here
like something passed, or worked
our way, through" said one hneman
'sIt looked like things would never
get Strengthened up at some places
over there pointing to the EASTWARD
and at some places, where we tried t.
follow the railroad, whole stretches o.
roadway were laid out long way
from the right of way. Our instruc
tons were to do the work between
Jacksonville and Pensacola just a
quickly as we could, and we believ'
we did it. Sleep was out of the ques
ton for any length of time. But, son
this food sure does taste good. It cal
just make fellow feel like a nev
man. That does not mean, though
that we were hungry when we work
ed because there was no food pro
vided. If you know 1nyshing of
ineman's life, you would know VIVA
it is to be sent out following a BIZ
storm"
The linemen said that severa
times they had to wade waist dee
in water which had overflowed tn
railroad right of way.
