HUSBAND
DIED On JAIL
FLOOR

Pensacola, Fla, March %, 1916.
Editor of Pensacola Journal:
I wish to make a statement to the
citizens of Escambia county as to the
treatment of my husband, the late
Alexander L. Helton, who passed
away in the Escambia county jail
Friday, March II, 1916.
Mr.. HeIton, my husband, was under
sentence in Jail, and was taken sick
On February 10, 1916, with heart
trouble, which finally developed into
pneumonia about two weeks before his
death, which occurred, as have
stated, on March II, 1916. / was in
constant attendance at my sick hus-
bands bedside, and mattress on the
cold concrete cell floor of the third
story of the Jail was his bed, no fire
or heat to keep the patient and the
attendants comfortable. was assist
ed in nursing him by some of the
white prisoners in the jail. under
stand now, but did-not know at that
time, that therg is a comfortable hos
pital ward in frAxfsail building away
from the prisoners cells where beds
have been provided by the county
commissioners, bath room and other
conveniences for sick prisoners where
they may receive proper care and at
tention. Just before my husbands
death took the money my little boys
had received selling wood, and which
should have been used to buy food for
my eight little children at home near
Millview, and with this money bought
a cot bed and placed the mattress on
this to raise the bed from the cell
floor so that he might be more COM
! Portable.
Why was this citizen Of Escambia
county allowed to die on a mattress
on a cell floor and without heat OF
warmth in the jail? My brother-in-
law, James Helton, and my brother
George Villar, and other friends many
times, and a number of days before
the death of my husband, applied, as
did the attending physician, to the
sheriff to be allowed to move my hus-
band to a hospital or to relatives II
town in order that he might be more
comfortable and receive the proper
care and attention, and if he did die
he would be allowed to die outside d
fail. It seems the officer was afraiC
he would lose the forty cents allowed
by the county for meals for the pris
oners. The officer said that if they
moved him we would have to pay the
officers So per day for day and nigh
guard. He finally reduced this offel
to IS per day, and then the day be
fore my husband died told my broth

ASKSGERNANY
ABOUT LOSS
OF SUSSEX

Washington, March 28.--Secretary
Lansing, with the approval of Presi-
dent Wilson, has instructed Ambassa-
dor Gerard to ask Germany whether
any of its submarines torpedoed the
British channel steamer Sussex, upon
which twenty-five Americans were
travelling, or the British horse ship
Englishman, sunk with the loss of
one American.
Upon the response Of the Berlin
government depends the next step Of
the United States.
While the United States has no
positive proof, all evidence indicates
both ships were torpedoed without
warning.

Young Pensacola Has Amused Itself
Chasing the Bandit Villa

Young Pensacola has amused itself
since Sunday chasing the Mexican
bandit, Pancho Villa, and some very
clever strategical stunts have resulted
from the publication Of the puzzle
picture by Sam Lloyd in The Sunday
Journal. A number have won tickets
to the Isis theatre offered by The
Journal to the boys and girls de-
cipher the puzzle.
Sergeant O'Toole, now stationed on
the Mexican border, and known in his
troop as "the strategist," has figured
out Just how far Villa viii get before
Funston's boys naD him. Twenty-four
Pensacola boys and girls have come
pretty close to catching Villa, accord
ing to Sergeant O'Toole's plan for
chasing the Mexican bandit. Tickets
to the Isis theatre have already been
mailed to the following boys and girls
who entered the contest.

Fashion League.
PREDICT NO RADICAL CHANGES
War Makes American MOdiste
Supreme Designer.
Interest Centers on $1,000 Prize
Gown Contest.

Chicago, March 1S.-"Butter1y'
evening gowns "bee-hive" and bar
rel' skirts as well as the cork hat,
broad sailor affair. are among the new
styles for the spring and summer wear
/ of the ultra fashionable according to
the five hundred or more modistes
from ali parts of the country who
gathered here today for the semi-an
nual convention of the Fashion Art
League of America.
The convention opened this morn
ing and the details of women's dress
were taken up at once as part of
the business session. That the full
skirt will prevail and that there will
be no radical changes, seemed to be
the prevailing sentiment. The bar
ref' skirt, so-called because of the
waist and the bottom of the skirt are
narrower than it is at the knees, thus
giving the outline from which it gets
its name, will be the latest innovation
for afternoon and morning wear.
$50 Vie for Prize.
The "bee-hive'' form of skirt is
more pronounced in the evening gowns
because of more width at the bottom
for dancing while a combination of
effects at the corsage and the sleeves,
which will be elbow length. give a but
terfly touch to the costume for formal
wear.
The visiting modistes were welcom-
ed by Nine ALA Ripley, president of
the Fashion Art League of America,
and after many lectures today the
showing of one hundred and fifty orig
ina1 American designed gowns will
take place tomorrow in competition
for the $1,000 Gossard trophy, which
| is awarded every year for the best
design from the shops of the modistes
of the country.
The war in Europe has made Amer
lean designs supreme, according to
the delegates, who assert that French
models are no longer demanded.
