CITY CLEAN UP
Weed Cutting and Cleaning
Up Generally Noticeable
In All Sections.

Citizens and the city entered the
cleanup campaign anew yesterday
despite the fact that the officially
proclaimed cleanup week had been
passed. All over Pensacola during
the day, evidences Of the awakening
of citizens to the fact that a general
cleaning-up was needed, could be
seen. Grass and weeds were cut in
large quantity, and when police re-
ported at midnight and at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, they were par
ticularly questioned regarding the
weed question. Practically all Off
GERS, especially those in the residen-
tial districts, stated they had served
notice upon property owners to get
lusy.
Notification was given by a num-
Der regarding sanitary conditions,
and it is understood quite q number
of reports in this respect viii be turn
ed in to the city health officer today.
The city started out every able
bodied prisoner, as well as a number
of hired men, cutting weeds and grass
in the streets.

13 Acres in Area; Sale Or
dered BY u. S. District
Court.

A decree was ordered by Judge W.
B. Sheppard of the Northern District
of Florida Thursday morning author
izing w. H. Milton, as receiver of
the First National Bank to dispose
of the Brent or Burgess Island, sit
uated at the mouth of Bayou Chico,
for not less than $4,000.
The decree was ordered after
petition had been filed by Mr.. Milton,
stating that he was offered the above
sum for the island, which was con-
isered a good price.
With the petition was attached
letter from Comptroller T. P. Kane in
reference to the petition of Mr.. Mil
ton, and authorizing him to ask the
consent of the court. Lawrence B.
Cummings is mentioned in the letter
from Mr.. Kane, as the purchaser of

While the land is usually called an
island, it is connected with the main
land by 8 narrow strip, at the North
east end, over which a road and tracks
have been built. The island is about
thirteen acres in area, and is almost
rectangular IN shape. The Brent mill
was formerly operated on the East
end of the island but has been closed
for many years and has gradually
fallen to decay, suffering much dam
age from the storm Of July 5.

Kentucky Towns Are Flood
ed, Entailing Millions in
Damage to Property.
THREE FAMILIES
OF q MISSING
Railroads Awash and Tele-
phone and Telegraph
Lines Out of Service.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Middlesboro, KY, August 3.-Be-
tween Is and 25 persons were drown
ed and enormous property damage
was sustained by cloudburst on
BIair's Creek near TazeweIl, Tenn,
last night, according to information
which has reached here today.
Telephone messages from there said
about 100 persons lived along the
creek and of these only few have
been accounted for.
The missing thus far reported are:
Hugh Burch and family, of seven or
eight; Crank Cupp and wife; Mrs.
Robert johnson, Porter Walker and
family of eight; Crockett Edmondson
and eight children.
The expanse of the territory de-
luged by the torrential rain extend
ed about a mile in width and six
miles in length, from the headwaters
of Big Barren creek, due west to
the Clinch river. Intermediary
streams are terribly swollen, thus
adding to the devastation wrought by
the food.
An unconfrmed report is that
about twenty miles of the Mindless
boro branch of the Southern railway
is under water, and that one or more
railroad trestles north Of Liberty Hill
carried away, says the dispatches.
Forces of men were put to work
this morning repairing the damage
to tracks, and it is anticipated that
traffic will be resumed Thursday
niht unless it should be found that
the trestles are lost as reported. Tel
ephones and telegraph wires were
! laid low by the wind and rain, and
wire communication is greatly i'm
peded, making detailed information
very meagre as to the extent of the
disaster.
Nine bodies have been recovered.
City officials and citizens of Taze-
we'll have organized rescue parties
and are securing the stricken district
in search of the dead. The region is
very rough and communication has
been practically cut off.
The bodies that have been found
are Robert Johnson, his wife and two
children; Mrs. Samuel Wiley and two
children, and Bush Hargeson and
wife.
The home of Crockett Edmondson
has completely disappeared, and nc
trace of the family is obtainable.
Two bridges on the Southern rail
road between Middlesboro and Knox
vile are washed away, and train ser
vice is at a standstill.

HAS ANYONE SEEN
THE BREMEN, IF
so, SPEAK UP

Bremen, Bremen, Who's got
the Bremen?
That's the question every
body is asking.
Rumors have been flying thick
and fast the past few days that
the second undersea liner had
singled out Pensacola for it's
destination.
Mysterious lights have been
reported far a-sea; mysterious
prophesies have been whispered
ashore.
A New York newspaper
wired its correspondent here to
look out for the vessel.
Last night the town was
thrown into turmoil of ex-
element by the report that the
diver was entering the harbor.
Hurried telephone calls to the
navy yard dispelled the hope.
Do you know where the Bre-
men is?
If so, please, oh please, let
US in on the secret, for these
vain rumors make life unbear-
able.
Bremen, Bremen! Who's got
the Bremen!

BIG SUBMERSIBLE is
ON THE ATLANTIC.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 3.-Somewhere
out in the Atlantic today, the big Ger
man submersible Deutschland prob
ably is iourneying safely homeward
after having successfully run the
allied warships blockade off Cape
Henry last. night. The giant under
sea craft submerged a mile off the
coast shortly before 9 o'clock, and in
solar as is known, she was unobserv-
ed by any of the allied warship patrol
which has been guarding the capes
against her escape for several weeks.
One of the last acts of Captain Koe-
mig and his crew, according to Cap
tain Hinsch, of the tug Timmins,
which acted as her convoy from Balti-
more to the capes, was to stand on the
deck Of the submersible and give
three rousing cheers for America and
the American people.
The final dash of the Deutschland
to the sea was virtually without in

SHIP YARD IN
SANTAROSACO.
Large Plant Between Milton
and Bagdad Is
Project.

A shipbuilding yard in Santa Rosa
county is a development soon to be
realized if plans now in course of for
nation turn out as successfully as
the projectors think they will. The
place selected, according to local peo-
pie who are interested in the project,
is the site of what is known, as the
old Davidson shipyard, about midway
between Milton and Bagdad, on the
Blackwater River, where about TWEEN
ty years ago yard fourished, and
did capacity business. The project
is live one and there is every rea-
son to believe that there will be To-
Gated at the point named an extern
sive plant.
The depth of water is said to be
from eighteen to twenty feet in the
approach to the site, and where the
ways would be located, will be about
ten feet deeper.
It is planned not to repair but to
construct ships at that plant. This
developed when an interested party
last night was asked about the depth
of water in the river.
Light ships do not require a great
deal of water. They are entirely
without even ballast when they leave
the ways. It is after they are ready
for their deep-sea voyages that they
are deep down." he said. Another
advantage is the fresh water basin.
That means great thing to newly
constructed boats"
It is understood that money in
both Escambia and Santa Rosa county
is interested in the project, and that
carefully laid plans have created a
| favorable impression.
| "a shipbuilding plant should not
be too near a town." said one man in
close touch with the situation, last
night. "When a ship is planned

LARGE CROWD WAIT
WHILE TRAP rs SPRUNG

Two hours before the execution,
crowd Of men, women and children
gathered before the prison gates.
Twenty minutes before Easement
mounted the scaffold, the great prison
bell commenced to toll. The sound
was greeted with cheers from the
crowd, mingled with some groans.
At o'clock the crowd had swollen to
such proportions that it extended for
two blocks from the prison front. At
one minute after a single stroke of
the big bell announced that the trap
had been sprung. 1t was the signal
for a mocking, jeering yell from the
crowd which suddely died away into
dead silence.
With Calm Courage.
Easement met his death with calm
courage, according to eye witnesses.
Early in the morning two priests of
the Roman Catholic church admins
tered the last rites in the cell of the
condemned man, and shortly after
ward little procession headed by
the clergymen with Easement fol-
lowing, a warden on either side, pro-
ceeded to the execution shed, only
five yards away. The priests recited
the Litany of the dying. Easement
responding in low tones lord have
mercy on my soul"
For His Country.
According to one of those present,
Easements last words were: 81 die
for my country"
AS the party reached the shed
where the gallows was erected, the
special executfoner, a hair dresser
named Ellis, approached Easement
and quickly pinioned him. The two
chaplains, the under-sheriff of Lon,
don and the under-sheriff Of Middle.
sex then took up their positions II
front Of the scaffold. Easement
mounted the gallows steps firmly anC
commended his spirit to God as ht
stepped on the trap. A moment lat
er the lever was pulled.
Death in Minutes.
Immediately after the trap wa;
sprung, the prison engineer and ply
stefan descended into the pit WHERE
after the application of the usua
tests, Easement was pronounced deac
at 8 minutes after 9. According Il
the custom in the case of prisoner
hanged for crimes similar to that o.
Easement, his body will be buried II
quick lime in the prison yard, bu
probably no decision as to the buria
win be made until the inquest.
Touching Incident.
An affecting incident took plac
outside the prison wall as the exc
cution was in progress. At the bacl
of the prison, little distance from
the jeering crowd about the gates
