At Least Eight
Passengers Lost
In SnO1U Slide
RY ASSOCIATED Press.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 24.-Three
hundred men working under the direc-
tion of officials of the Great Northern
Railroad continued digging today in
to the huge pile of snow and debris
which marks the spot where an ava
lanche Saturday wrecked two cars of
the westbound Cascade limited train.
The men are seeking the bodies of
Mrs. Fern Wallace and her baby, OF
Lyons, Wash, Ralph Patterman of
Wehawken, Wash, and an unidentified
passenger who was lost when the cars
were destroyed, causing the death of
eight passengers.
Other gangs of men assisted by ro-
tary snow blowers were striving to
clear away the slides which blocked
a part of the Great Northern's trans
continental line. The snow in some
places is piled so feet deep.

CARNIVAL BOARD
WILL DISCONTINUE
GIVING DANCE
DIRECTORS AT MEETING HELD
LAST NIGHT REACHES THIS
DECISION AFTER HEARING RE-
PORTS. !.

The weekly dances given by the
Carnival Association at the Keyser
auditorium in an effort to aid in rails
ing funds for the approaching Mardi
Gras celebration, will be discontin-
ued. This was decided last night
when the amusement committee of
the association made a report on con-
ditions that occurred at the last
event. These were so unsatisfactory
to the committee that it recommended
discontinuance of all dances and
this recommendation was unanimous
ly accepted.
The association accepted the propo-
sition of the Milton city council that
the two cities cooperate in advertis-
ing and aiding one another in giving
celebration. Milton is to give a cele-
bration on Feb. "a and 26 and the
Pensacola association will put on a
big banner advertising the event
The finance committee reported
that much money is needed and that
contributions are not as satisfactory
as could be desired. Inasmuch as the
dances, one source of revenue, has
been cut off it will be necessary for
the committee to raise considerably
more than first anticipated.
Three of the floats for the mystic
parade have been completed and
three more are nearing completiony
according to a report of the building
committee.
r. w. Goodhart, president Of the
National Bank Of Commerce, was
unanimously elected member of the
board of directors, filing an existing
vacancy.

Belgian Army Is
Suffering From
Lack of Tobacco
- AssocrArFp pREss.

New York, Jan. 24.-The Belgian
army is suffering from the lack of to-
bacco and the Belgian government is
too poor to provide its soldiers with
smoking material, according to Bel
gian refugees and friends of the Bel
gians here. They say that while the
British and French are amply supplied
with pipes, tobacco and cigarettes by
voluntary organizations formed for
that purpose in France and England,
the home friends of the Belgian sol
der are either impoverished in exile
or under German domination and un-
able to supply the solace of nicotine.
Adopting the methods of the Over
seas club formed in England to fur
nish tobacco to British troops in
France, friends Of Belgium in Eng
land and America have formed the
Belgian Soldiers tobacco fund with
headquarters in this city.

ONES AND HUSBAND LEFT TO
MOURN HER DEMISE.

formerly Miss AnnasMackey, died
Sunday night at her home in Moline,
while surrounded by members Of the
immediate family and friends who
have watched over her with much
anxiety through the long weeks of
her last illness, and who were loath
to admit the end had come. She was
attended by skilled physicians and
trained nurses who rendered every
assistance within their power, but il
was perceptible for thirty-six hours
prior TO the unwelcome visit of the
Grim Reaper that death was immi-
nent, and the family prepared TO
make their first contribution to the al
ready nurberless host.
Mrs. Williams leaves a husband and
five small children to fight life's bat
tie without her assistance, which has
been material factor in molding the
lives Of the little ones, all of the chill
dren too young at this time to ap-
preciate her demise. The youngest
is but babe of about five weeks of
age. She also leaves her father and
mother, J. D. and Mrs. Mackey, four
brothers, William c., Henry J., AIon-
20 NJ, Jesse T., and three sisters,
Mrs. G. T. Butler, Mrs. j. c. Conner,
and Miss Pearl Mackey.
She was taken to her former home
at Roberts Monday afternoon, where
the body will remain until ten o'clock
this morning, when the interment will
take place In the Roberts cemetery.
Her old teacher, Prof. Jas. M. Tate,
will officiate.

TUGLEROY RETURNS
AFTER A BUSY TRIP
FINE VESSEL OF AIKEN FLEET
CAME INTO PORT YESTERDAY,
BRINGING COUPLE OF EMPTY
BARGES.

Towing a couple of empty barges
which were picked up in Cuban port,
the tug Leroy of the Aiken Company's
feet, arrived yesterday, and thus COM
pleted very stormy but successful
voyage.
This tug left here some weeks ago
with couple of loaded lumber barges
in tow and after delivering that
tow to Havana, secured other con-
tracts, towing a schooner to Miami,
and then going back to Havana where
another tow was secured Altogether
three passages across the gulf stream
were made, and at each time high
winds and heavy seas were encoun-
tered. In fact, it was stated that
when the tug neared Pensacola on her
return trip yesterday, that was about
the most agreeable weather that was
experienced during the Oug's absence.
