~ DANIEL.

That Fred Mitchell. now coach Of the
Braves pitching stan. will manage the
Cubs next season was practically as
sured yesterday. but the decidedly es-
sentlal factor OF Chicago's getting the
release Of Its leader to be from Bosto1
still stands In the way. Charles w.
Weeghman. president Of the Chicago
club. yesterday arranged terms with
Mitchell. The matter of reaching an
agreement with Percy Haughton Of the
Boston club was not SO easily con-
summated.

the Boston club changed It's demands
and asked that II be given Leslie Mann
and a first string pitcher, said to he
Jim Vaughn. At this weeghman also
baked. A definite decision will be
reached to-day. Chicago holds the upper
band In the deal for the reason that
Mitchell Is naturally extremely anxious
to manage a big league club, and the
Boston officials do not want to stay
in the way Of his advancement.
II Is known that Mitchell Is not
Weeghman's hrst choice for the posi-.
ton. Fred Clarke might have had the
position II he had chosen to quit his
Kansas farm. Frank Chance could have
the place II he did not insist on getting
something like $4,000 a year. II is said
that next to Clarke. weeghman's selec-
ton was George Stovall, the "Firebrand
Of the Federal League" who proved his
major league managerial ability at
Cleveland in 1911. However. the nu-
merous stakeholder shapers Of the Chi
cago clubs policy are opposed to en-
gaging Stovall.
May Pat Through Deal.
Mitchell Is a former Yankee catcher
and has been given credit for a good
part of the success the Braves have en-
joyed since George Stallings took hold
o. the club. Mann was an outhelder
with the Braves before he Jumped 70
the Federal League. Albeit Stallings is
said TO have dubbed Mann "Stonehead'
he Is evidently moi averse to having
Leslie back on the club.

''The Witch" Isis Today.

In presenting to the American pub
lie Nance O'Neil in "The Witch, !"
which is showing at the Isis today,
William Fox believes he is giving to
the screen one of the greatest pro-
auctions yet filmed by his vast organi-
cation. The part of Fora as played by
Miss O'Neil in ''The Witch" is the
part whereby she made famous Sar-
dou's remarkable emotional play,
''The Sorceress."
Miss O'Neil played this great part
so long and carried it 20 such trium-
plant heights in the world of stage
art, that it has almost become a part
of her. Naturally, to be cast in a
character so long and so wonderfully
played by her, makes this picture of
even greater importance than it would
be under different conditions.
To this remarkable production of
"The Sorceress" viii be added all Of
the unusual situations and surround
ings that it is possible to get into a
picture and so impossible to get on
the real stage. Mr.. Frank Powell, di-
rector, spared no time nor expense in
order to turn out the most finished
production possible on the screen.

ENGLAND.

With cargo of $500 tons of crude
chalk, and coming here to load with
cross ties, the Russian bark Lawhill, a
vessel of 2765 tons, reached Pensacola
yesterday, and was towed into port by
the tug VIM. M. Flanders, Capt. Ben
Rocheblave. This is the largest sail
ing ship to have been reported at PEN
sacola, and shipping men yesterday
stated that it was the largest vessel
of her type to have entered at this
port. The Lawhill was at anchor in
the stream last evening, but a berth
has been assigned on the west side of
Commandments wharf, and the big
vessel will probably be berthed there
some time today. Her cargo Of chalk
will be discharged for interior trans
portation, after which the Lawhill will
fill out with about two million super
fetal feet of railroad sleepers for the
west coast Of Britain.
The Lawhill, drawing about nine
teen feet, came over from London,
and until her arrival the Marlborough
Hill, lately reported in distress, held
the record for the largest ship to have
visited Pensacola. The latest arrival
will probably attract considerable at
tention because of her enormous size

HOUSEFLY NESTS IN
FILTH--HELP TO
KILL HIM

The housefiy is foul and dangerous
little pest. The female lays her eggs
in manure, in human excrement or in
the flesh of dead and rotting animals,
never anywhere else. The eggs hatch
into maggots and the maggots feed on
the filth until they sprout wings and
become flies. The flies swarm into
germs of many diseases-espeeially
typhoid, consumption and dysentery
which they deposit on our food.
Many of our homes were saddened
last year by death resulting from dis.
eases spread by flies. Therefore the
housefiy is our deadly enemy and we
ought to kill him off as far as possible
before warm weather comes. To do
this effeciIally will require the coop
Grafton of the whole community.
Cleanliness, generally speaking, is the
fiy's greatest enemy, but If one man
cleans up his place-removing all
barnyard filth, keeping garbage cans
covered. etc.--and his neighbors on
either side do not follow suit, the one
man will not be protected from flies
and disease.
This war on flies is job for the
whole town, and it is big one. It is
suggested that our local authorities or
some of our active citizens call meet.
ing and make plans at once to start
the campaign for fly determination.
Let US enlist the aid of the health Of
ficers, the physicians. the merchants,
the lawyers, the mechanics, the wom-
en- and the boys and girls.
1t will be necessary to have a num-
Der of committees to look after the
many angles of the work and see that
proper preventive measures are taken
to remove the opportunities for flies
to lay eggs and hatch them. Swatting
the fly is ineffective-you only kill
one fly at a swat. But IL you begin
earlier by spraying manure piles and
the contents of clubhouse vaults with
kerosene or with chloride of lime. so
that fly eggs will not hatch in these
masses, you prevent the birth of mil.
lions of flies
The state board Of health will be
glad to send us all kinds of informa-
ton helpful in carrying on a fly war,
If our local doctors have none on hand.
After the campaign organization is
formed, about the first thing to do is
to get reliable information and put it
in the hands of our people.
Who will make the first move to
start the campaign?
