boys and girls at their evening meal,
file into the long dining room, kept
clean and spotless under the supervis-
ion of the house-mother, Mrs. FL
bridge? Have you seen the bowed
heads and clasped hands, and heard
the childish voices seeking a bless
ing from the Heavenly Father on the
meal that has been spread for them ?
If you have, and you IRE human,
you have felt Tightening about the
heart and the tears have dimmed the
eyes, and you hive felt a great. ten
derness for these children, and wish
to help and serve them.
The children at the Pearl Eagan
Home are well cared for and for this
Pensacola is thankful. But there are
a great many things needed to make
them comfortable, and those interes-
ted in the home, wish to have it
screened, but are unable to meet the
necessary expense.

in ALABAM A
MURDER CASE
Troops Ordered to Hunts
viIle-Victim Was Anti
Liquor Man.
BY ASSOCIATED PREsS.


Huntsville, Ala, June 17.-After
the arrest of three men in connection
with the murder of Probate Judge W..
T. Lawler, whose body was found near
here this morning, Governor Hender-
son, at the request of Sheriff Phillips,
of Madison county, has ordered a
company of state militia, from Decat-
ur to Huntsville.
The company at Sheffield is held in
readiness to proceed if trouble should
develop.
LAWYERS body, with two bullet holes
in the heart and the skull crushed,
was found weighted with railroad iron
at the bottom of slough ten miles
south of Huntsville. He had been
missing since Wednesday night. Blood
stains on the bridge over the slough
led to the discovery of the body.
LAWYER recently, who had been pro
bate judge for twelve years, was re
nominated for a six year term, after
a spirited political fight. He had
been one of the active leaders in the
dry" side of the prohibition fight in
Madison county.
The grand jury now in session, in
vestigating alleged election frauds,
yesterday asked to be discharged as it
did not want to get into a political
mess.
After finding LAWYERS body, a
crowd gathered and possible trouble
is feared.
Two companies of Alabama militia
from Decatur and Sheffield arrived
here tonight and were posted through
the town under the direction of the
sheriff. It is said that as many as
five persons, names withheld, "whc
are prominent in Madison county pol
itics," have been arrested but re-
moved for safety. Percy Brooks
owner of the ferry, was arrested and
removed to Athens while his two
employees are held as witnesses.

Lawyers Also Will Parade.
School Teachers Are
Enthusiastic.
COMMITTEE OF
LADIES APPOINTED

Hurrah for the ladies of Pensa-
cola!
Judging from the way they are
taking hold of the Preparedness Pa
rade idea, Pensacola's representation
in the fair sex will be even greater
than the proportion in New Orleans
pageant, and New Orleans actually
had more women paraders than New
Yorkl
The local Suffragists, an organiza-
ton some 800 strong, have signifed
through their president, Miss Mar
garet Ingraham, their intention of
taking part in the parade as body.
Camp Fire Girls.

Camp Fire Girls viii likewise take
part. There are twenty-five of them.
Can the Boy Scouts turn out as fine
an array?
Rebekah Lodge, of the /. o. o. F.,
and the w. o. w. Circle have also
been interested, and many others
have the matter under consideration;
a favorable reply is of course practi-
cally certain in every instance.
Committee Appointed.
The following committee of ladies'
has been appointed by the Carnival
Association to secure representation
from all the women's organizations
in the city: Mrs. Ellis Knowles, Mrs.
w. A. Blount, Jr., Mrs. Ernest Quina,
Miss Evelyn Maxwell and Miss jamie
Knowles. The committee will start
work right away.
Lawyers Win Parade.
There is no Lawyers Organization,
but the different attorneys will most
certainly be in the parade as body.
Philip Beall, Robert Anderson,
Judge H. Bellinger, c. w. Girdle-
stone, and others are as busy as busy
can be, interesting their forensic
brothers; and report hath it that they
are not meeting with any oppose
ton at all, at all.
Teachers Enthusiastic.
The public school teachers of Pen
sacola have been approached and are
most enthusiastic. Steps are being
taken to interest the county teachers
as well as the cooperation of the
country is especially desired.

PERSHING NEEDS
NO RETNFORCEMENTS

Washington, June 17.-After a con-
ference with President Wilson, Secre-
tary Baker said he had ordered no
additional troops to the border and
General Pershing had asked for no re-
Inducements. Baker said he looked
for no immediate trouble regarding
pershing's force.
This announcement came after the
confirmation of General Trevino's
threat to regard the movement of
Pershing, except toward the border,
as a hostile act, had reached Wash
ington.
1t is apparent the government will
back Pershing in his reply to Ire
vino, refusing to recognize the author
ity of General Carranza over the ex-
petition.
What further action Washington
will take is not known. Tonight the
war department had only brief word
from General Funston of the Browns
vile trouble, and President Wilson is
likely to await the outcome of this
new phase before he determines the
course of his reply to Carranza. The
note is expected to leave Washington
by messenger on Monday, unless de-
velopments change the present plans,
Secretary Baker tonight conferred
with General Scott, chief of staff, and
Later General Mills, chief of the mi
litia division, waS summoned. While
none would discuss the conference, il
is understood they went over the
course to be pursued in case of 3
clash between Americans and Carran-
"a troops.
The presence of General Mills was
taken to mean the first step would ot
the mobilization of more natlona
guardsmen, but General Scott declared
no new troop orders of any sort have
been decided upon.
