DISTRICT ATTORNEY
FILES THREE LIBELS IN
THE FEDERAL COURT

Three ibels were filed in the fed
eral court yesterday by United States
District Attorney John L. Neeley,
against as many small gasoline
launches within the vicinity of PEN
sacola, and in the jurisdiction of the
court.
The first is for 500 against an un-
named boat, the property of Ebert
Rice, for alleged violation of mari
time regulations, by operating the
craft within a fire extinguisher
aboard. The boat is now at Mill
vile, but at the time of the violation,
on June 5. 1916, was at Panama City.
The second is for 500 against the
motor boat Ready" owned by W. e.
Barefield, of Panama City. The libel
alleges that on May IT, 1915 the boat
violation the maritime regulations by
operating without sufficient life saw
ing equipment. The specific allega-
ton is that of carrying IA life pre-
servers, 6 of which were rotten.
The last boat hbelled was the un-
named craft of Arthur E. Lewis for
$500, the allegation being that the
vessel was without whistle, fog horn,
or bell on June 8, 1910. The boat is
now at the West End of St. Andrews.

DIPPING VAT NOT IN
OPERATION NOW

Operations of the dipping vat on
West Garden street have been sus-
pended, as the McKensie Company is
now buying cattle in Alabama and
there is no immediate necessity of
dipping. The several hundred head
which were dipped recently have been
sent to the range in Baldwin county,
and two hundred head were purchas-
ed in Alabama last week.
In discussing the purchasing of cat
tie in Alabama, instead of Florida as
heretofore, j. F. Dusenberry, a mem
Der of the firm, stated that the same
conditions which had forced them to
construct the vat had lowered the
price of Alabama cattle in Baldwin
county, and permitted the company
to buy cattle in Alabama, moving
them to the range without the addi-
tional cost of dipping required for in
&erstate shipment.
1t is expected that shipping from
one county to another will soon be pro-
hibited in Alabama, and the company
will then be forced to buy on the
Florida market. In the meantime,
Mr.. Dusenberry said that the vat
would be rented to private parties.
