CROSS ATLANTIC
IN THIRTY HOURS

A monster aeroplane, one which
viii attain speed of one hundred
miles an hour, cross the Atlantic in
thirty hours and carry crew of men
almost as large as an ordinary ship,
is being built by the Burgess COM
pany at its works at Marblehead, and
as soon as completed will be sent to
Pensacola. 1t is one Of twenty that
win be constructed for the navy de-
partment, but It win be a long time
before all Of them are delivered, for
so large are these machines that it
requires over thirty DAYS for Just one
of the planes to be built. Each win
be equipped with 1000 horsepower
engines.
A large number Of the hydro-aero-
planes now in use at the navy aero
nautfc station were built by the Bur
CESS Company and are said to give
highly satisfactory service.
It is expected that these machines
VIII cover one hundred miles an hour
and they win prove one of the most
wonderful scientific accomplishments
Of the twentieth century.
The plans Of construction Of these
gravity defying seapganes have been
kept secret. They are the result of
years Of study. They viii be the
largest ever built.
Worlcmen employed on the nsw
transatlantic machines are in the dark
concerning its wonders, as the Off
Gals of the company allow each en-
ploye but very little knowledge con-
corning the craft.
Officials Of the Burgess Company
assert that these aeroplanes win be
the greatest advance made in the con
, quest of the air in the history of the
world. An aeroplane recently com
pleted at Marblehead and built along
the lines Of the new craft has with
stood the greatest tests ever made
on a machine and the Burgess Com
pany officials were 40 enthusiastic
over the chances of a machine that
would be able to cross the Atlantic
in thirty days that plans were inme-
diately started for the greatest air
craft ever built.

William Fisher.

Pensacola was fortunate enough
this past winter to receive larger
number of tourists than ever before,
said William Fisher yesterday.
'sThese visitors were high in their
praise Of our climate, our accommo-
dations, our bay, and particularly our
good city streets, attractive parks and
the general clean and bright appear
ance of our town.
"We must add to the number OF
these tourists next year and, like st
Petersburg which was built almost
entirely by its winter colony and take
full advantage of every inducement
in our power to draw a large proper
ton of Florida's next winter visitors
"As a general proposition the roads
of Escanbia county are good, but
practically al of them lead away
from our main attraction-the water
"Our own citizens also need ia
cilities for reaching more easily thc
surf bathing beach. So from an eco
nonic standpoint as well as for oul
own citizens pleasure and conven
fence, the highway to the Calf Beacl
! seems yr7G desirable"

Deputy Harrell was injured, but

oner had concluded that young Dykes

Mr.. Walker, the man who was kill
ed, is a prominent turpentine man Of
the lower part of the county. He wal

Help! Turtles
Are Eating Up
Grass of Els h!
Donations of These Her
bivorous Animals Are
Not Welcomed.

It is not often that voluntary do
nations are unwelcome, but this ap-
plies with all its force and meaning
when Il comes 10 turtles, especially
when the donors quietly slip them
into the fountains where the city is
endeavoTing to maintain large num-
bers of gold and other species of fish.
It's this way, according to Park
Officer Kenble, who has asked The
Journal to come to his aid: In order
to maintain a fish pond it is essential
that vegetation be supplied them
upon which to live. Now the turtles
have a healthy appetite for this same
kind Of vegetation, and can devour as
much In one day as an ordinary fish
can in month, so the supply Of vege-
tation IN q small fountain soon be-
comes exhausted and the fish have
nothing on which to appease their
hunger. Continuing along this line
Of figuring, one can soon arrive at
the state Of the fnny tribe within a
period Of week or ten days.
So Park Officer Kemble begs
these donors TO desist. He knows
their intentions are Of the best, but
the city is endeavoring to raise fish
and not turtles, and if these parties
wish to establish turtle hatchery
they will confer a favor on the park
officer by selecting some other method
than the city fountains.

Washington, April 15.-Attorney
General Gregory today held federal

at the request Of the board, there
is nothing in the law to prevent re-

banks from one district to another.
The opinion stops efforts of Balti-
