ILLINOIS SHERIFF
AFTER PRISONERS

Sheriff Philips, of Lee county, ILL.,,
accompanied by Chief Deputy Nets,
of Dixon, H., arrived in Pensacola
Yesterday morning, to find whether
or not two white men held here as
dangerous and suspicious characters,
were still in custody. These are two
men who were arrested by Officers
Tarrants and Fillingim, when the
strangers were found with an un-
numbered automobile. 1t later devel-
oped that the auto had been stolen
from a point in Illinois, and the Off
Gals from that state arrived, to re-
turn them for trial. The suspects
gave their names as Cassell and Fer
guson.
Sheriff Philips said that the stolen
car was taken from the home of a
farmer before The latter owned it a
cay. 1t was stated that the farmer
had just purchased the Ford, and
had hardly mastered driving it before
the pair made off with the machine.
The latter, standing in the road near
the farmers home, was driven off,
and not a trace of it was had until
Il turned up in Pensacola and the
Lee county officials notified. Prepa-
rations were at once made TO bring
back the alleged thieves for trial.
The Illinois sheriff expressed great
delight at this, his first visit, to
Florida, and said that Pensacola was
one of the most charming cities he
had ever visited. With the pair in
custody, Sheriff Philips and Deputy
Nets expect to get away at noon to-
day. In the meantime, they will be
shown over the city and surround
ings by Chief Sanders.

Pensacola fishing schooner brought
in Sunday in tow by the Gulf Rein
ing Co., boat Larimer, as told for the
first time to a newspaper man by
the master, Capt. Frank Cooney,
shows that the crew of the vessel
passed through nerye-trying ex-
perience. The storm that swept the
gulf tore from the deck of the Min
cola the ships dories and everything
that could be wrenched from the
deck. The crew was left at the
mercy of the sea, but fortunately the
weather cleared, and the Larimer APP
peared on the horizon, so Captain
Cooney tells the story:
eve sailed from Pensacola on Fri
day, Oct. IS, at noon," said he. "On
the 14th the wind freshened strong,
and we had strong northeast wind
all that day. All day on the 18th the
east wind held. At s a. m. on the
10th we took in the mainsa.l and tied
it up. At noon we stood 1924, longi-

time. At o'clock on the evening of
the 10th we hove-to under a close

our star-board quarter, west by
north, blowing about eighty miles an
hour. We got in OF Campeche bank
about o'clock in the next morning.

foresail. The vessel was not able to
stand it. AT 6 o'clock the vessel hove
to under bare poles, with drag out.
At 3 o'clock the vessel refused to head
to the wind; the drag was not strong
enough. The wind by this time was
blowing terrific gale, and the seas
were sweeping our decks. About that
time a sea came aboard that swept
the decks clear, smashing our dories
and carrying them overheard. At 1o
o'clock in the morning we had to cut
the spars away, and then the fore
mast, and then the vessel made a
northwest drift. At . p. m. the seas
increased until comber after combel
smashed us in almost a continual
stream. The seas seemed to come
from all directions, and it was at the
risk Of his life that a man showed on
deck. The wind shifted to the south
west, and the vessel lay in the trough
of the seas, rolling so that at every
movement, it seemed impossible she
could right herself. At p. m. the
wind had moderated, and by II that
night the stars were showing and we
had a light wind from the west. Or
the morning of the 18th, the sea was
calm, and we rugged storm trysail

national agreement could make them
stick" and at this time they feel it is
doubtful if such guaranty could be
effected.
The reasons for desiring world
guaranty are these:
y Germany would be well pleased to
return to the status she had territor-
lily before the war, but in addition she
wants a way into asia Minor Her
terms impose hardship upon Russia
because she wants a buffer between
that great nation and her eastern
boundary. But such terms could not
be attained, probably.
Hence, right on that point the need
of a world guaranty of peace would
arise.
Belgium would be restored but at a
terrible sacrifice. There would be no
restitution for the ravages of war, I'M
less perhaps, Germany should buy at
an enormous rate the Belgian Congo
as a restitution measure -
Belgium's fate in the present war,
officials think, makes the idea Of a
world guaranty of peace even more
essential than perhaps do the questions
of a possible threat of Russia overrun-
ming the German empire.
Germany has aspirations In Asia
Minor. That is why she leaves the set
Element of Balkan problems to the
peace conference. All her terms sug-
gest the need of a world guaranty,
said the United Press informant and
he doubted that this will be possible
at this time.
While the administration feels GER
tain that England wiz not now ac-
cept Germany's proposals as out
lined, it attaches great Importance to
the fact that these proposals may
form the entering wedge" for peace
or peace parleys.
A state department official pointed
out that whatever may happen the
proposals will give food for thought
and a basis upon which to deduce
later proposals or terms of settle
ment.
Inasmuch as this officially starts
the ball rolling, it is considered
vital proposition though apparently
