SOLDIERS BROKE INTO
 FISHERS ISLAND COTTAGE.
Three Were Found Hiding Behind
 Furniture and Were Captured.

Fishers Island, like other resorts, has it's share of breaking and enter ing of cottages. Sometimes the cul- prits are caught, and sometimes they are not, but this time a capture was made which brings great credit to those who effected it. Supt. F. E. Hine received an alarm about D. m. that there was something wrong at the cottage of W. D. Gaiiliard. He went after the constable, James s. Young. and the two men investigated. They found that one of the shutters had been removed and that one of the windows was unfastened. Not having the keys with them, MT. Young crawl ed through the small unfastened win dow, unlocked the door from the .n- side and let MT. Hire in. At first to search upstairs was considered, but it was decided to try downstairs first, and in theIying room of the cottage were found hiding behind the furni- ture three men, over whom Mir. Young stood guard until Mir. Hine obtained the services Of Elmer Woodworth to help take the men to Fort Wright. The trip was not a pleasant enc, as the. night. was pitch dark, and the rain falling in sheets, but the three men were loaded into the auto owned Dy MT. Hlne and taken to Fort Wright and turned over to Sergeant Bostrom as Boyce V. Davis, William William son and John Woodbury. The men are in for long term of imprisonment and it is alleged that one of the men had done time before he joined the army The Gailhard cottage is among the finest on the island and has been entered before, it is suspected, by the same parties. Tpe men when searched were found to have their pockets filled with plunder and had evidently plan ned to do a cleanup It is also evil dent that one man alone could not have made the capture, as the soldiers were desperate when eornered.

One Hundred and Thirty Thanksqivinq Baskets Were Distributed on We'd nesday.

One hundred and thirty Thanksgiv- Ing baskets were on Wednesday dis t1nuted to the worthy poor families of the city by City Missionary c. A. Northrop. A good part of the baskets was composed of the liberal donations of the Norwich school children It was at first thought that the mission work CTS would run short of food for the baskets but this proved not so and when the. last basket was delivered on Wednesday afternoon there was still some left over.
 With each basket was given a piece or beef or sparerib weighing from three to five pounds, vegetables of all Kinds, tea or coffee, sugar and in some eases jellies and delicacies. None ts1s year contained turkey or chicken as none was contributed and none bought. The store, 6 Main street, in the Breed block, was employed as assembly room for the food products and for filling and distributing the baskets. The missionary had corps of ladies assisting him including Mrs F. B. Dove; chairman, Mrs. James Johnson, Mrs. John H. Barnes. Mrs. J. c. Morgan. Miss Crowell, Mrs, J. B. Olcott, Miss Sarah A. Armstrong. Mrs. Joseph H. Selden and Miss Por- teous. Fred DeBarros and Charles King were also assisting MT.

 A contribution of 50 pounds of fish from Powers Brothers was thankfully received. Bishop. Bidwell 6 Co.,, kind ly loaned 40 or more barrels for use in the work and Harris's auto truck and another auto were used in the collection and deliveries.

The complete list given to the local merchants has been greatly appreciat-- ed as there have been several lists used in town which have become ob- solete thus causing misunderstand- ing between the wholesaler and the retailer, and the retailer with the con- sumer. Many of the coal dealers are using a larger size basket for carrying than formerly holding 100 pounds.

4 BRIGHT FUTURE
SAYS A VISITOR

SCHOONER LOADS
A CARGO OF COAL
THE BLANCHE H. KING WHICH
WAS BERTHED UNDER THE
CHUTES, WILL PROBABLY BE
READY FOR SEA TODAY.

Berthed under the coal chutes for
a cargo of coal, the American schoon-
er Blanche H. King was working yes
terday despite the unfavorable
weather conditions, and it was official
~ announced last night that the
schooner would be ready for sea, so
far as her cargo of coal was concern
ed, this morning. The exact amount
loaded into the schooner was not
learned last night.
Although working facilities were
not the best at the dock named yes
terday, the schooner received cargo in
very short time, and much shorter,
it was announced, than had been gem
orally figured.
Considerable criticism was made
in another gulf port few days ago
when it was announced that, because
of the lack of coaling facilities in that
port, the schooner was diverted to
Pensacola where these facilities have
long existed, but whlCn are now be-
ing brought up to a state where it
will be possible to discharge a train
load of coal into vessels matches
in an amazingly short space of time.
The facilities on Muscogee wharf will
not be ready for use for the next three
weeks, it was announced yesterday,
but the machinery is now being INSTALL
ed, and they will be operated by cleo
tricity.

FIRST CLEARANCE
UNDER NEW RULE
SCHOONER CHARLEOIX, A REG
ULAR TRADER HERE, WAS
CLEARED YESTERDAY FOR
CUBA WITH LUMBER CARGO.

Clearing under the new regulations
which became effective Feb. /, the
schooner Charlevoix will have the dis
tinction of being the first vessel at
Pensacola to have been handled under
the operation of the different regula-
tions. This vessel cleared for Cuba,
and while her cargo valuation was not
given, hel destination and contents of
cargo will be public. A different man
ifest was used in the clearance of the
vessel, and about the only thing which
remains here, it is announced, will be
but a memorandum of the fact that
the schooner did clear, where she went
to and what she was loaded with. IN
der the new regulations, the original
manifest is sent to headquarters at
Tampa.
The Charlevoix, commanded by
Capt. Roberts, was cleared with about
half million superficial feet of lum-
Der, and is going to Cuba. 1t is pos
sible that Immediately upon disdaarg-
ing there she will return at once to
this port, for another cargo. She
will complete loading today and be
read! for sea, possibly to sail Sat
urday.

NEW FREE SHELTER
BETHEL IS ASSURED
MEETING WAS HELD LAST EVE
MING, AND QUITE A LOT OF IN
TEREST WAS MANIFESTED IN
THE WILLIS MOVEMENT.

At meeting in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms yesterday after
noon, quite a number of those inter
ested in the movement assembled and
the proposition to establish a Free
Shelter Bethel in Pensacola, to be
operated by Rev. A. ]. Willis, was
given ready endorsement.
Among those attending the meet
ing were: c. F. Geek, ]. B. Perkins,
Capt. John G. Caro-, Ensign Aughen-
baugh, of the Salvation Army; Rev.
]. B. Slaughter, of the First Methodist
church; Rev. E. R. Pendleton, of the
First Baptist church, and number
of others. Captain Caro- was elected
chairman of the meeting.
A motion was made UNANIMOUSLY
endorsing the movement of Mr.. Will
lis and commencing it to the public as
one not covered in this city. Thus,
in the movement, the aged worker
has the unqualified endorsement of
the pastors and some good laymen
of the city. He has also the endorse
ment and the encouragement of the
city commissioners.
'"They endorse me to do the work
as did in Key West" said Mr.. Willis
last night. "This is the establish
ment of a Free Bethel for sheltering
of neglected seamen and others who
may come to the city in need of such
attention. The Bethel will make
monthly reports and the public viii
be kept informed of every move
ment."
