Request for Withdrawal of
Troops Not Answered
BY u. S. Yet.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June 15.-Secretary
Lansing's draft of note to Carranza,
which will refuse his demands for the
withdrawal of American troops, was
laid before President Wilson today.
At the same time the war department
received news of a bandit raid on the
camp of the Fourteenth cavalry at
Sanygnacio, Texas, in which three
troopers were killed.
While punitive steps will be left to
the discretion of the border comman-
ders, the attack was Immediately
called to Carranza's attention. 1t is
understood a refusal to withdraw the
troops will be predicated on the Sa-
nygnacio raid as indicating that Car
rama is still unable to cope with the
border situation.
The reply may go forward tomor-
row.

IN ENTIRE PROGRAM
Letter From Kentucky Tells
of Plans Being
Made.

J. L. Godfrey, editor of the North
and South Magazine of Louisville,
KY, who has many friends among
the farmers in West Florida, writes
to The Journal as follows:
81 was in the Blue Grass section of
Kentucky last week with delega-
ton of visiting farmers from the
western part of the state, and never
before have I enjoyed such whole,
hearted and royal entertainment as
these farmers and breeders lavished
upon their neighbors from the other
end of the state.
"When the Blue Grass farmers
learned that spent a good deal Of
time in West Florida, and knew many
of the farmers there I was literally
bombarded with requests to invite my
friends there to come to Kentucky on
The Journals Cattlemen's Excursion
in July. When I was told of the plans
for showing the West F1oridians the
famous dairy and beef breeding es-
Establishments of the Blue Grass and
got an inkling of the entertainment
features that had been planned fo~
them, I arranged it so that 1 could
be one of tie party.
Every County Ready.
every county seat has arranged to
meet the West Floridians with auto
mobiles and drive them all over their
respective counties. The program
has been so arranged that there will
be but little duplication. At Bowling
Green they will see several thousand
acres in strawberries, diversified
farming, special results in hoe feed
ing and waving fields of orchard grass.
At Shelbyville we will probably see
more pure-bred Jersey cattle that
we have seen all together in our lives.
At Versailles they will show US
million dollars worth Of Here
ford cattle on Colonel Taylor's farm
and the Mckee Brothers. close by,
have seven hundred Duroc Jersey
brood sows on their farm, while n
the same neighborhood are several
million-dollar horse breeding estab-
lishments.
"At Richmond an all day auto tour
Of Madison county will be taken AMI
wonderful results in the raising Of
grade cattle will be seen and short
practical talks by the breeders on how
they make a nine-month-old steer out
of a pure-bred sire and scrub COW
weigh 900 pounds in ten months will
be made.
"When they get to Louisville the
Bourbon stockyards boys will take the
party in hand and show them the al
falfa, Irish potato and onion farms,
for which this county is nationally
famous.
at surely will be the trip of a life
time, and would not miss it for the
world and hope to see many of my
friends when the excursion reaches
Kentucky"
This excursion leaves Pensacola

modations on the train are being
taken rapidly.

CITY LIGHTING.
UNDER
ADVISEME n 7
City Pays About $4,000 a
Year for Lights at
Present.
CHEAPER RATE
FOR CONSUMERS
Commissioners to Take Up
Question of Street Light
ing Contracts.
CHEAPER RATE
FOR CONSUMERS

That the cost of living is being
lowered in Pensacola, in some things
at least, was proved yesterday when
the bids for the city lighting were
opened by the mayor and commits
sioners.
The electric company announced in
its bid that a per cent discount will
be extended small consumers. This
includes the mo-thly accounts of even
81 to SIS consumers. The rate has
already been lowered from Is cents to
II cents; and now The discount on top
of that is a further reduction to the
people.
The City Lighting
Two bids were submitted, by the
Pensacola Electric Light Company
and by the Pensacola Gas Company.
The Pensacola Gas Company bid
$3.50 for each 50 candiepower gas
light on its main. The electric COM
pany bid $50 for so candlepower
lights, and will erect new installation
to suit the city's needs.
The electric company bid $50 per
light for the $50 candlepower ''Nova-
lux" street lights, the same as last
years price.
Bids Being Considered.
The bids were laid over for con-
sideration. The electric light COM
pany desires a three-year contract,
and the commissioners feel the need
of a thorough investigation before
signing for this length of time.
Posts Are Cheaper.
The electric company's bid for or
namental posts was SAT each. Last
year the city was charged $50 each
for these fancy light stands, and 95
were accounted for in yesterdays din
ventory' of the city lighting. Other
results of this Inventory" developed
the fact that the city is now paying
for 507 incandescent lights, go arc
lights, and $50 gas and gasoline
lights. The gas company bid $3.50
straight for gas lights, and submitted
no bid for the street lights of the
gasoline type.

Three Negroes
And T1Uo Guns
Got His Roll

Look here, Old Sport, you just
stand steady now" and August
Fritz, watchman at the freight de-
pot, found himself early yesterday
morning looking into the barrels
of two loaded revolvers held by
as many negroes.
Then a third negro searched Mr..
Fritz, and the night Waterman
saw the remains of his monthly
salary, which he had just drawn
from the monthly pay car, go
glinmering, and a gold watch and
chain went the same route. There
was $3.50 in the roll.
Mr.. Fritz notified the police and
told the officers that he was Just
coming in from the usual half-hour
of clock punching, and that he was
just emerging from between the
cars at the south end of the freight
depot when he encountered his
crowd of trouble makers.

The second session of the Eleventh
Annual Convention of the Alabama
Cottonseed Crushers convened yester-
day morning at $3.50 o'clock and was
opened with an address by DR.. H. Bat
tie of Montgomery, who spoke to the
assembly on ''Velvet Beans, Soy
Beans and Peanuts as an Adjunct to
Cotton Seed" DR.. Battle discussed
first the needs of the Cottonseed
Crushers, and the problems confront
ing them.
DR.. Battles Address.
After DIR. Battles address the ques-
ton was opened for discussion and
practically every member of the con-
vention took active part in the debate.
Expert opinions were given as to the
values of oils made from the different
products, and the extent of injury to
land after a crop using much nitro
gen.
King Cotton.
DR.. Calhoun's remarks called forth
much applause when he spoke for the
cotton crop only, stating that it is,
was, and always will be, the back
bone of the south's prosperity, and
with diversifcation and rational farm
ing, it will satisfy all demands.
DIR. B. B. Ross Talks.
DR.. B. B. Ross of Auburn, member
American Chemical Association, was
then introduced, and opened his re-
marks by reference to President Viii
sons words, peace, Prosperity and
Preparedness" and said that upon the
latter the former two depended.
Continuing, he said that he had
been appointed on the state board for
Alabama, and in that capacity he
wished to ask the association for
their cooperation in the general
scheme of increased efficiency. It was
the governments plan, he said, to
ascertain the number, location, out
put, and all other data concerning oil
mills, for upon them depended many
of the war products. Gun cotton, nj
troglycerine, and many other by

from cotton, and the medical prep

was loudly applauded, and unani-
mously elected an honorary member
of the organization.
DIR. Picard Talks.
! DIR. Picard of Birmingham, then
read paper on the uses of ''The Cot
ton Plant as Forage Crop After
Boil Weevil Detroys Bolls." This
question as the others, received much
attention and was given free discus
sion among the members.
\ DR.. Picard stated that the cotton
crop had always been the staple CROP
of the south, and would continue tc
be, and that the damage of the boil
weevil is greatly over-rated. Contin.
uing, he said that cotton stalks are
an excellent food for cattle and some
like it even better than corn. Re.
search shows that it is strong in pro,
tein, and that when silaged it makes
as good fodder as any other, as vel
as killing of millions of boil weevil:
in the fermentation process.
Because of this food value farmers
should take more interest IN the cuL

owe feel here that West Florida
and Alabama are one in sentiment and
interests, and it is, therefore, more
as relatives that we welcome you this
year and express the wish that you
will return to US next year"
With these words, George Hervey
gracefully summarized his address of
welcome at the Cottonseed Crushers'
banquet at the San Carlos Hotel last
night. Mr.. Hervey was replying to
an address of appreciation pronounced
by President J. w. Radney.
Last nights banquet was one of
the most brilliant affairs ever offered
in Pensacola. There were nineteen
tables, at which were seated a hun
dred and fifty-two delegates, their
ladies and guests of Pensacola. Song
and music made the evening memo
rable, and dancing closed the func-
ton. Patriotic airs and Billy Boards
Incompatible song on Preparedness
had the guests cheering wildly, and
the gallery caught the enthusiasm of
the occasion as well.

tivation of cotton, said DR.. Picard
In the ensuing discussion, DR.. Cal
houn stated that in latitude SO there
need be no fear of weevil except in
certain years, and that from personal
experience he had seen the weevil
set back forty miles in a cold sea
son.
T. J. Kidd of Birmingham then ad-
dressed the convention on "Delinted
HuIls and the Fiber therefrom as n
Adjunct to Modern Oil Milling" Mr..
Kidd said that this was an entirely
new field and nobody as yet had any
great knowledge of its possibilities,
but that when the war is over there
will be a great amount on the market
and no demand. The present expert
ments, he said, are to prepare for
that time. It was brought out at the
meeting that several manufacturing
companies are at present engaged in
experiments with delinted bulls and
fiber, attempting to make cloth, and
that in some cases a fabric as fine
as silk and more durable, has been
made.
There was an interesting discus
sion.
One of the pleasures which all the
visitors will have cause to remember
was their visit to the aeronautical
station, where some of them saw for
the first time Uncle Sans eagles of
the navy in hangar and in fight.
They were all talking of this feature
of the days occurrences as one of the
most pleasant.
