A unique and original contest
was an entertaining feature of the
afternoon, Aunt Menu" The
first letter of sacL word was given
for the guests to make out the
menu. After this the young ladies
were asked to take the letters of
the surname of the honor guest
and use each letter for the begin

The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-07-17

the morning of July was not be-
cause of a desire to remain and par
ticipate in the P. Y. c. regatta, as in
simple courtesy to their host they
were in duty bound to do, but instead
because they feared heavy weather IN
the gulf, and would have taken up
the handicap race to Biloxi, o. the
return voyage, but for such fear. AS
I stated to you, several of the boat
owners had asked me to refute this
entirely unfair and unf6unded impu-
tation.
You viii recall that, in this same
connection, I expressed the opinion
that the dispatch containing the OBJ
jectionable imputation could only
have emanated from, or been inspired
by, some member of Commodore
Jahncke's party, as no others of the
yachts or yachtsmen who were in the
long-distance race, were in Biloxi on
the date of the dispatch. Since my
return to New Orleans I have been
informed that the statement did en-
anate from a member of the Jahncke
party.
In simple justice to Commodore
Ernest Lee Jahncke, however, / would
state that have talked with him on
this phase of the matter and he has
emphatically repudiated the inputa-
ton complained of, and denied ans
knowledge of the sending of the dis
patch, telephone message, or however
else it may have been conveyed to
the Times-Picayune. More than this,
he denounced the implication in no
uncertain terms. He explained that
one of the reasons why he left Pen
sacola as abruptly as he did, was that,
because of the approaching storm, he
was uneasy about his family who
were on his house boat at Biloxi, at
! tended by an insufficient crew. He
/ further stated that he had requested
/ Joseph R. Behrens to state this fact
to the owners of the other motor
cruisers, which Mr.. Behrens forgot to
do, as indicated by his letter to the
TIP, contained in the inclosed clip
ping.
Your statement contained in the ar
ticle published in your paper on July
| 9, are essentially correct, save per

DONATION OF GARIC
CUP To JAHNCKE
AGAIN REITERATED

@That a considerable amount Of
soreness has been developed by the
recent long-distance race from New
Orleans for the Carrie cup, one leg Of
which was won by Commodore
Jahncke's newest speed boat, is now
evident, and it is. stated IN reliable
quarters that the New Orleans yachts
men are planning to concede the cup
to Commodore Jahneke and start the
contest all over again. Pensacola
Journal, July 8.
"These statements were controvert-
ed in toto by several Of the owners
of boats making the trip, who. yester-
day declared that there was no foun-
dalton for the story in any way" ~
New Orleans Tines-Picaylne, July Is,
1916.
The Journals story was based on an
interview with R. Lee Edwards, sport
ing editor of the New Orleans States,
who made the trip on one of the New
Orleans fleet.
A letter has just been received from
Mr.. Edwards and is given below;
New Orleans, La, July Ia, 1915.
The inclosed article, which you no
doubt have read ere this, appeared in
the sporting pages of the Tirnes-Pica-
yune yesterday. I wanted to write
you Immediately with regard to it,
but desired to first try to get into
communication with Captain Isaac T.
Rhea, owner Of the yacht Siren, and
learn from him whether or not he had
circulated the paper which he declared
he intended to have a number of yacht
owners sign, proposing to present,
without further contest, the Carlo cup
to Commodore Ernest Lee Jahncke,
and to have another cup offered for
a race strictly between the older and
not SO speedy type of utility motor
craft.
Having been unable to get into
touch with Captain Rhea, who is fleet
captain of the Southern Yacht Club,
he not having returned as yet to New
Orleans, I decided to delay no longer.
I wired you this morning 70 the effect
that this letter would go forward in
today's mail.
Just how many yachtsmen the
Tines icayune sporting writer
meant when he wrote, as per clipping,
that Several of the owners of cruis-
ers had "controverted" your ARTICLE
Gin TOTO" or whether Captain Albert
Mackie and Joseph R. Behrens, and
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-07-17

other members of Captain Mackie's
party, constitute the Several" I am
not IN a position to know.
AS I stated to you in our general
conversation on and discussion of the
1ong-distance race and of the P. Y. c.
regatta, the published dispatch from
Biloxi in the TIP, to which many of
the owners Of cruisers took exception,
etc.,-and I reiterate the statement
then made-Captain Isaac T. Rhea,
fleet captain of the S. Y. c., and own
er of the big cruiser Shirin, stated
to me in the San Carlos hotel, just as
l was leaving in response to your
telephoned invitation to visit you at
The Journal office, that he intended
to circulate a document for the sig
natures of owners of the racing cruis-
ers, the purport of which was to be
that the Carlo cup should at once be
presented to Commodore Ernest Lee
Jahncke and his Quicksilver" since
it would never be possible for any
of the numerous other craft Of the
fleet to have as much as ga look-in"
on the Carlo trophy in competition
with Commodore Jahncke's newest
flyer.
AS I told you, Captain Rhea said
that after this should have been done
another cup would be offered to be
raced for by the other older, and not
so speedy, craft of the long-distance
cruiser fleet. He stated to me that he
knew of several yacht owners who
were ready to enter into such plan. /
had heard Captain j. Eugene Pearce,
owner of the cruiser "Spitfire," ex-
press similar views, conceded in by
some others who / can not now recall,
as told you in our general discussion
of yachting matters.
You win recall that I emphasized,
in our conversation, the fact that what
the yachtsmen who remained over for
the annual regatta of the Pensacola
Yacht Club, were "sorest" at, was
the implication contained in the dis
patch from Biloxi, published in the
Times-Picayune of July 5, to the eff
feet that the reason that the other
yachts of the fleet had not left Pensa-
cola at the same time that Quick
silver" and "Glendoveer" sailed-or
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-07-17

haps that the other yacht owners in
question We're "sore" at the Biloxi
dispatch in the TIP, rather than over
the matter Of the winning of the
Carrie cup, though, certainly, Captain
Rhea's declaration of his intention in
this direction, before referred to here
in, might be construed in such a light.
1 am writing this to assure you that
what I stated in my conversation with
you was founded entirely on fact as
presented it, and not on fiction. Cap
tain Rhea will, I feel certain, afford
confederation, in so far as he and his
statements to me are concerned, in
this connection.
With kindest regards and best
wishes, believe me
Sincerely yours,
r. LEE EDWARDS.

MUCH ENTHUSIASM

Over one hundred head Of cattle
we're dipped at Myrtle Grove, Fri
day, according to Farm Demonstrate
OF Hiatt, who was there during the
morning dipping, but left in the aft
ernoon, DR.. Knapp being in charge.
In speaking of the dipping at
Myrtle Grove to The Journal, Mr..
Hiatt stated that the farmers are
delighted with the results. Friday
marked the fifth consecutive week
that clippings have been held at
Myrtle Grove and all Of them are
said to have been most successful.
Continuing, Mr.. Hiatt stated that
many farmers are installing watts,
but that some have been delayed on
account of the storm and wet weather,
making it impossible for the con-
crete to dry sufficiently for use.

CATS LIKE TO. BE FoNDLED
By KENNETH w. PAYNE.

New York, July 16.-The strongest
children, the healthiest babies, are
the ones most in danger from the
mysterious scourge of infantile pa
ralysis that is spreading from New
York into every corner of the nation.
Vigorous health seems to be no pro-
lection against the disease.
So says DIR. Simon Flexner of the
Rockefeller Institute, world leader in
the study of infantile paralysis, and
the first man to identify the germ.
This germ, by the way, is so tiny it
win pass right through the finest
porcelain filter.
All mothers will be anxious to read
what DR.. Flexner, Americas fore
most authority on the disease, has to
say Of it.
"The chief terror of the disease
lies in its appalling power to pro-
duce deformities," he declares.
"When death occurs it's not the
result of process Of poisoning that
robs the patient of strength, but is
caused by paralysis of the respiratory

function, sometimes with merciful
suddenness, but often with painful
slowness, without obscuring the con-
seriousness of the suffocating victim
until just before the end.
mo more terrible tragedy can be
witnessed.
"The bacillus enters the body
chiefly, if not exclusively, through
the nose and throat" DR.. Flexner
explains. "Hence the mode Of spread
may be by kissing, coughing and
sneezing.
"Since the disease attacks by pref
erence young children and infants
whose nasal and mouth secretions are
wiped away by mother or nurse, the
fingers of these persons readily be-
come contaminated.
1.-THE care of other children by per-
sons with contaminated fingers may
therefore lead to the conveying of
the infectious micro-organism indi-
rectly from the sick to the healthy"
Rules for Treatment.
Following are the methods of
treatment advocated by DR.. Flexner:
