Another Sea-WaH Planned

A plan is on foot for the i'm
Iproyement of the waterfront
from the railroad wharf north to
beyond the city limits. 1t is con.
templated to extend the sea-wall
keeping as close to the natural
shore-line as possible, and fill in
behind the wall by dredging in
front, as was done in the case OF
project just completed. The idea
lis advanced by Capt. w. H. John
son, who is confident that it can
be carried out at a small part of
the cost of the present sea-wall
and fill, as there will be less fill
ing in to do, and it will not re-
quire such a heavy wall to retain
it. If the property-owners di-
rectly interested can be prevailed
upon to share the expense, the
improvement will be undertaken,
and it has everything to recon-
mend it, When the plan assumes
some tangible shape, the details
of it will be given in this paper.

People in other sections of the
state have little idea of the bitter
ness that exists in Jacksonville
between the PrOtestants and
Catholics. 1t permeates every
social, political and business re-
lation and is constantly growing
worse. The daily papers make
no mention of it, but the weeklies
take sides more or less earnestly.
Duyals vote in the primary is go
ing to be governed very largely,
more largely in fact, than by any
thing else by this very issue, and
it is not without the range of pos
sibilities that the name of the
next Governor and U. S. Senator
will be decided ON the question Of
Catholic and ti-Catholic in Du-

PASSAGE Of BILL
s AGAIN HELD UP
Senator La Toilette Speaks for
Seven Hours and Delays
Naval Measure.

Washington, July Ex-senator La
Toilette again delayed passage of the
naval bill today, continuing until a
few minutes before adjournment the
attack he began yesterday against
the measure.
AS soon as he concluded, the senate
defeated his amendment to prohibit
the use of the navy to collect private
debts or enforce claims of Aemrican
citizens or corporations. A substitute
by Senator Norris to prevent such
employment of naval vessels until
court procedures had been exhausted
and arbitration denied also was de-
feated.
In seven-hour speech, Senator La
Toilette charged that the big finan-
cial interests of the country centered
into great Wall Street gboups, known
as the Morgan and Standard Oil COM
binations, were responsible for the
movement for a large army and navy.
Says Program is Entirely Wrong.
The proposed naval program, Sena-
tor LaFollette declared, meant the in.
auguration of policy to build navy
as great or greater than Great Brit.
ain within the next ten years.
"But when we have done that, what
then?" he continued. when you
build England and Germany will build
more. You will drive them to it, and
when you have spent your $4,000.
900 you will find yourselves in a new
place to start. Your only limit then
will be your limit Of taxation on the
people. Such course VIC.
lates all precedents and principles Of
the government"
After adjournment tonight Senator
Swanson, in charge of the bill, said
he knew of no other long attacks to
be made against it and expected its
passage tomorrow Following the
votes, Senator Chamberlain will ask
that the army appropriations bill be
taken up.

ALLIES nN PROTEST
CLEARANCE PAPERS
No Formal Objection to Deutsch-
lands Departure Has Yet
Been Made.

Washington, July 2O.-Although no
formal objections to the clearance Of
the German submarine merchantmen
Deutschland from Baltimore have
been interposed in advanced by the
embassies of the Allied nations, there
were indications tonight that after
the American government had placed
itself on record by granting clearance
papers, the informal representations
made by the British and French am
bassadors soon. after the Deutsch,
lands arrival, might be supplemented
by more vigorous protest.
Thus far. the course of the state de-
partment, in regard to the submarine,
was largely negative. The fact that
she was merchantmen did not call
for such step. which would have fol
lowed had she been held to be war
vessel. The Allied. embassies are un-
derstood to take the view, however.
that the issuance OF clearance would
furnish basis upon which to hint
protest that the American govern
ment had performed an act incom-
patible with the principles of inter
national law.

new REMEDY FOR
;. DREADED DISEASE
DR.. N. L. Whitaker Claims to
Have Cure for Infantile
Paralysis.

New York, July 20-Health depart
ment officials and physicians, who
have been attempting to discover a
remedy for infantile paralysis, show
ed keen interest today in a state
ment made by DR.. N. L. Whitaker of
Brooklyn that in about a dozen cases
of the disease treated by him bene-
fetal results have been obtained from
hypodermic injections Of quinine and
observation-disclosures.
/ DR.. Whitaker said tonight that
this prescription can be used inter-
nally, but he prefers to use it as an
injection, because it acts as an an
aesthetic and does not disturb the
child's stomach.
Referring to DR. Whittacker's exper-
iments, Health Commissioner Emer
son said that the treatment had been
used in a great many different cases.
-, Parents were urged today to give
particular care to the mouths and
teteh of the children.
