he flung the heavy cushion across that

It flew straight and true.
In alarm, unable to comprehend the
nature of that great, dark, whirling

Secretary Lansing Names
Men to Undertake Settle
ment of This Problem.
MAY WITHDRAW
AMERICAN TROOPS
This Will Be One of the
First Questions to Be
Discussed.
e ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Secretary
Lansing announced tonight that the
American members of the joint COM
mission to undertake a settlement of
the differences between the United
States and Mexico would be Franklin
K. Lane, secretary of the interior
Judge George Gray, of Wilmington,
Delaware, and DIR. John p. Mott, of
New York City.
All the commissioners accepted the
appointments.
Arrangements for meeting with
the Mexican commissioners viii be
made by Secretary Lansing and Eliseo
Arrendondo, Carranza's ambassador.
The only question to be decided is
where the sessions will be held. The
Mexicns are anxious for it to be
some resort on the New Jersey coast
Probably the first problem taken up
will be the proposed withdrawal of
American troops from Mexico. This
is expected to be agreed to by the
American commissioners, as General
Funston has recommended it. 1t is
regarded here that the probable with
drawal of Pershing and his men will
be followed soon by the recall of the
national guard from the border.

DECIDES AGAINST
INSURANCE COMPANY

The demurrers of the plaintiff were
sustained by Judge w. b. Sheppard,
in the federal court yesterday, in the
case of Mrs. Marion Bell, of Gaines
vile, VS.. The Reliance Life Insurance
Company, which overruled the allie
cations of the company that the hus-
bend of the plaintiff had taken a
policy and then committed suicide
with intent to defraud the company.
In sustaining the demurrers Judge
Sheppard held that the allegations of
fraud would have to be more specific.
On the question of fraud Judge Shep-
pard followed the recent decision of
the supreme court in the case of L.
Hilton Green and W. A. Finley, Jr.,
trustees of the estate of c. L. Wig
gins, VS.. the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, which involv-
ed approximately $4,000, which the
estate claimed was due it on policies
held by Virgins.
The Virgins case was brought be-
fore Judge Sheppard and afterwards
appealed to the supreme court, which
affirmed his decision.

MAIL BAG LOST
AND FOUND AGAIN
ALL IN ONE NIGHT

How would you feel, walking
around with a big of your "Uncle
Sans" mail under your arm and
somebody in authority asking you
where you got it?
That is what happened to
Capt. w. B. Mcdonald Monday
night, but the genial captain cas-
lily explained how he came into
possession of the pouch and was
warmly thanked.
The pouch, which was a locked
one, was lost from the mail wag-
on Monday night on the trip to
the 1890 northbound train, and
wasn't missed at all until the de-
pot was reached. About that time,
Capt. Mcdonald, who had found
the pouch on Garden street, near
Alcaniz, turned up with it, look
ing for somebody to take it off
his hands. 1t was in time to
catch the train.

AND WINDS UP AT
THE COUNTY JAIL

George Bennett, colored, past
sixty years of age, and a charge
until recently at the county poor
farm, left that institution Monday
and the next day turned up in
the county Jail, where he is charg-

their second day of their tour.
After a pleasant morning ride
along the banks of the Majestic, KY,

the heart Of Madison county,.
A reception committee, equipped
with a score of automobiles, was
waiting and the West Floridians were
speeded to beautiful grove on the
normal school grounds where a boun-
tiful repast was awaiting them. After
lunch a seventy-five mile tour of
Madison county was enjoyed. On
every side broad blue grass pastures,
on which fifteen hundred pound short
horn and Hereford steers were con-
tentedly grazing.
Numerous stops were made at the
homes of various breeders and short
! practical talks about how to put three
to four hundred pounds on a steer in
few winter months were made.
| The most outstanding feature of the
trip today was the fact that every
stock raiser ran hogs after his cattle
and figured that the hogs paid for
the corn consumed by the steers and
that all of the beef was profit.

$3.50, 900 Appropriation to Be
Used to Put Station

COMMANDER Muslin
RECEIVES ORDERS
Preparation Work to Begin
at Once-Army of Skilled
Mechanics Brought Here.

Pensacola will be the
naval aviation base of the
United States. Aeroplanes
will be manufactured, new
types evolved, and all expert

priation of $4,000 will be
used in placing the station
here far ahead Of Ill other
stations in the country and
making it the aviation cen
ter of the United States.
This sum is for the aeroplane work

diately in making ready for the de-
velopment of the school, and provision
made for charging the grounds and
+ erecting buildings and quarters for
