MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
TRANSFERRED TO u. S.

New York, Feb. 17.-The govern
ment of Greece has been transferring
millions of dollars of its funds from
London to New York within a few
months, according to New York bank
ers, who estimate that SIS 100000 of
Greek funds are now on deposit in a
large number of banks here. This ac-
ton is regarded by bankers as pre-
cautionary move in case of break
in the relations of the Greek govern
ment with the entente allies. The
movement of the Greek funds from
London TO New York became notice
able soon after the recent Teutonic
invasion of Serbia and was augmented
when the entente allies sent an expe-
dition to Salonik for the relief of the
Serbian army.

site having been selected and the at
torney general having been directed
to bring condemnation proceedings to
procure the title.
The appropriation of seventy thous-
and dollars for postoffice and court
house was made some months ago, at
the same time that several other
cities of Florida were given buildings.
At the time, however, and upon the
occasion of several visits of the rep
resentatives of the government to Sc
lect a site it was impossible to OBJ
tain desirable lot. All property
owners Immediately placed prohibitive
prices on all available lots, and the
government declined to be held up
and compelled to pay an exorbitant
price for lot or to condemn one for
its use. Matters rocked along until
recently it was understood that the
act making the appropriation would
be repealed, when the people of Ma
rianna developed a great and i'm
mediate desire to get the building, re-
CARELESS of cost to location. A mass
meeting was called and Mr.. Carter
was sent to Washington with instruc-
ton to do whatever necessary to get
the building. The value of his serv-
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-02-18
ices is measured by the result.

The site selected by the treasury
department and postofice officials is
the Breneman lot at the northwest
corner of Main and Caledonia streets
and contains the home and grounds
of H. L. Breneman, Cincinnati cap
italist, who spends his winters in this
city. 1t is within the required dis
lance from the depot, but, unfortun-
ately, is very inconvenient to the bus
mess section. There is considerable
objection to the failure of the gov
eminent to select a central location
when condemnation proceedings were
found to be necessary, instead of con-
demning lot already well improved
and attractive, containing the home
of Marianna's one northern winter
visitor, and a quarter of mile from
the court house square and the main
business section. However, in the in
terest of harmony and in order to get
the. building at all everybody seems
willing to make the best of the sit
uation.
Mr.. Carter carried to Washington
with him not only the very excellent
report from the local office but also
a report from United States Marshal
Perkins showing that large per
centage of the cases tried at Pensa-
cola and Tallahassee originate in Jack
son county, thus showing the need
of having sitting of the United
States District Court in this city,
which already has deputy marshal
and United States commissioner.
The people of Mariana are con-
graduating Mr. Carter on the sue
cess of his errand, and the Boosters
Club is very much encouraged over
this the first victory gained by the
work of the organization.

Highest Prices
Are Being Paid
for Steamships
BY AssoCIArrD PREss.

New York, Feb. 17.-An instance
showing the high prices paid for
steamships because of the extraordi-
nary demand for transatlantic freight
transportation became known today
when it was stated that the steamer
Dunholme had been sold to an oil
company for $350,00O. Four years
ago the hulk of the Dunholme was
sold for $4,000 after a fire which
burned away her superstructure and
interior fittings. 1t is understood that
the wrecking company which raised
her after she was sunk in New York
harbor cleared a profit of 100000
and that 100000 was paid for re-
pairs.
The Dunholme is capable of carry
ing $500 tons.
