DRY DOCK AND
SHIPBUILDING
URGED
Strong Movement to Bring
About Location of Such
An Industry.
SUITABLE SITE
AVAILABLE HERE
Veteran Shipyard Men of
Mobile May Be Induced

It is claimed that Pensacola inter
ests have spent upward of $4,000 at
tablished at Pensacola yesterday.
The movement has been talked of for
some time, but denfite steps have at
last been taken Much encourage
ment was given the movement.
tits claimed that Pensacola inter
ests have spent upward of $4,000 at
nearby ports for ship repair work,
and persons in authority connected
with such interests yesterday readily
agreed that the location of such an
establishment at Pensacola has long
been a crying need for Pensacola.
There are desirable locations along
the bay front which are said to be
available without much trouble. In
fact, deep water can he had right in
the city limits, and one franchise
right, which lays claims at present
to ten city blacks of water 'front.', is
most desirable site. All this had
been taken into consideration by those
behind the movement.
A payroll of more than $4,000 a
week is possible with the location of
such plant at Pensacola. With it
will come, it is said, number of
shops, and men who command good
wages will be given good positions.
All this means, it is maintained, more
money in circulation, and of course
every payroll is needed.
In some quarters it is announced
that patronage offered such an estab-
lishment would not be sufficient to
warrant the expenditure of sum of
money needed to capitalize such
plant. This argument is met by the
statement that at other gulf ports
where available ship repair plants
are operated, the facilities are hard
" ample to care for the work offered

Fudge Charged with
Murder As Strangers
Cry over The Victims
QUESTIONS FUDGE MUST ANSWER
BEFORE A Jury OF HIS

Why did not Bascom see his sisters when he came
back the morning of the tragedy from selling the tools
and stood the gallery? The doors open and he
could see inside
How did the doors get locked on the inside. Be
tween morning and afternoon?
Why did Fudge when he came home in the afternoon
sit the steps and send Bascom away ostensiby to
hunt the children without first looking for them the
house?
Why did he not attempt to enter the house. which he
never locked?
The Nashville police were not informed of his wifes
ed for burial Is there anything sinister in Judges de-
laying as long as possible entering the house?
How did human fnger-nail marks get on Tennie's
throat?
How explain her bruises-especially the bruise on
the hip, where the dress was torn exposing the skin,
struggle CHASTITY as chapter from Poe?
How explain the third shot fired, unless one bullet
went wild, during the struggle?
Absence of powder burns prove that the gun was
fired by the children themselves, if it had been
physically possible for the girls to reach the trg
ger. Who then could have done it? What was the mo-
tive? Was it the insurance?
The letters dated June "A and June 90. Was the
deed intended for Sunday when Basco said he saw his
father load the gun and did something prevent? Was
the last letter afterthought? Was Tennie bued
caoled into writing the letters ignorant of what she
was doing?
That the gun ordinarily kept unloaded substan-
ated by witness this logical considering the age
OF the children but why the gun loaded Sunday?
II Fudge anxious for work. which he says he
had been seeking for months why did he not hurry to
take up the job just he learned the good
news? Why at least did he not go down to the Navy
Yard and put in half day instead of lettering around
town, and going back home at o'clock to sit on the
gallery? Was he thinking of something back home?
DID he think there wasn't any now?

Hundreds Pay a Last Tribute To
Te1araie and Ethel Fudge, and StrelO
Their Graves With MANY Flowers
Probably no more touching funerals

Probably no more touching funerals
were ever conducted in Pensacola
than the double obsequies which were
held Thursday afternoon when the
two little girl victims, Tennie and
Ethel, were laid to rest in St. Mich
aePs cemetery.
Hundreds viewed the tiny forms
lying so peacefully in the snow-white
caskets in Pou's undertaking parlors,
two hours after the father had been
formally charged with their murder.
1t was not an idly curious crowd to
get a glimpse Of the little features
or to offer a flower. It was a sor-
rowful crowd. In the hundreds Who
visited the parlors throughout the
day were old men, old women, young
men, young women, boys, girls, and
little children, who wondered why
their fathers and mothers held them
closer after looking at the flower
laden caskets.
Real grief was everywhere appar-
ent. Men as we'll as women wept
at sight of the little victims, and not
a single person in the entire assem-
blage had ever seen the children in
life.
Services were conducted at the I'M
dertaking parlors by Rev. Mr.. Tracy
of the Church of Christ. This good
man, impressive at all times in the
preaching of the Word, was even

George H. Hervey has received
a letter apepaling for charity that
at first blush looks innocent
enough, butthe plan is one to make
Wallingford blush for shame,
Croesus go blind with rage at its
results, Mammon himself turn
green with envy.
These are the cold facts:
Letters were sent out in series,
requesting donation of one dime.
Each letter was addressed to five
persons, who, in turn, were re-
quested to write to five others.
When the issue subsidized another

Then someone, with nothing bet
ter to do, sat down and figured out
what had happened, and the posi-
bic results.
This is what he found, and any
one who has time is at liberty to
challenge the count, otherwise it
will remain the same.
If all the returns had been made
the man would have more money
than the combined treasures Of
Europe, United States, Canada

twenty series the population of tbs

the little chapel to hear the words.
Flowers in abundance were offered.
A special conveyance was needed TO
carry the freshly-cut and prepared
designs to St. MichaeI's cemetery,
where the caskets filled a double
sized grave.
One of the most noticeable Incl
dents was the large number of chill
dren, little boys and girls, who were
present. A dozen boys walked along
side of the hearses from the under
taking parlors to st. Michael's. These
sturdy youngsters were: J. Menko,
Jr., Tom Johnson, Philip McCloskey,
Steve Bogart, Charles Johnson,
Henry Waddell, Jack Gebhardt, James

Boyd's obstinacy was responsible for
the attack. The troopers blamed the
Mexicans for starting the fight. They
refused details, saying they must first

Rear Admiral Austin NJ knight, U. s.

between the fleets commanded by Rear
Admiral Henry T. Mayo. and Rear Ad-
miral James M. Helm, in an interview

Why Should Women Battle?

Bathing is not a right, but a priv

1t would also double the expense;
twice as much water. twice as many
towels. twice as much soap.

ing their hands and faces Oftener than
they do.
Why can not man represent woman

A good mother has no time for
bathing. Women should be mothers,
not mermaids.. It would consume too
much Of their time also from house

The husband might want the tub
