another representative in the upper
branch of the national legislative body.

JAP QUESTION MAINE CASTS
LOOMS LARGE RECORD VOTE
United States Is Greatly
Disturbed Japan's
Answer Soothing.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Japa-
nese government officially informed
the United States through Ambassa-
dor Guthrie that while it made i'm
portant demands on China, there was
nothing in the representations in
fringing on American interests BY
violating the open door, Chinese in
tegrity or the ot-Takahira agree
ment.
Whether the Washington govern
ment will accept these assurances as
conclusive depends on the interpreta-
ton which Japan places on her de-
mands as her negotiations with China
proceed.
Officials here are uncertain as to
Japan's real, intention, though it re-
vealed today that in the inquiry on
the subject the japanese foreign of
flee was notified that the demands
had greatly disturbed the American
government"
Ambassador Guthrie reported that
the Japanese foreign Office confirmed
the outline of the demands printed in
the United States as approximately
true" Similar confirmation had been
received here from American Minis
ter Reinsch at Peking.

FLYERS WILL SOON
TAKE THE AIR AGAIN

With the inclennent weather of
Monday flights at the aeronautical
school were temporarily suspended,
but will probably be resumed today,
when sea scouting with the destroyer
Roe viii occupy large part of the
program.
The day of enforced suspension of
flights was advantageously used in
making necessary repairs to the two
Burgess-Dunnes, which will be in ex-
cellent condition for the scouting
work.
Construction work on the hangers
was IN no way affected by the in

CAR STATION BURNS
AT PALMETTO BEACH

Catching fire at 2 p. m. Tuesday,
the car station at Palmetto Beach
was entirely destroyed. The origin
of the fire was not known, although
it is expected that it was caused by
cigarette thrown carelessly in the
grass.
The station was a large frame
structure, comprising two waiting
rooms equipped with benches, several
small rooms, and ticket office. Ad-
joining it was a small store which is
used on all occasions for serving re-
freshments.
As it is out of the city limits and
far from hose connection, very little
could be done to save it, and beyond
an attempt TO keep it from spreading,
it was allowed to burn itself out.
The pavilion on the beach was not
harmed by the fire, and the Electric
Company announced last night that
the regular Wednesday night dance
will be held. It was not stated wheth-
er or not the structure would be re-
built, but it is expected that it will
be either this summer or the early
part Of next.

GOT OVER MILLION
IN MANY ROBBERIES

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 1.-THE
trials today in Martinsburg, w. Va,
&C jeff and Richard Harrison, of San
,atonio, Tex, and Eugene Diez, of
ut Springs, Ark, on robbery
,aarges, recalls the alleged activities
Of Henry Grady Webb, formerly of
this city, said to be the leader of
the Harrisons in various ventures,
and who is now wanted by the gov
eminent for alleged train robberies.
Webb, who was said to be the
GRAINS" of the alleged Harrison
gang, disappeared from Birmingham
March 80, last, shortly before post
Office inspectors were preparing to
make his arrest. Persistent rumors
prevail that he is in hiding in this
section. At the time of his disap-
pearance he was supposed to be in
the automobile supply business with
an office in a Birmingham skyscraper.
The so-called Harrison gang, with
Webb as its alleged leader, are
charged with committing train rob-
berries in Alabama in which it is es-
timated they stole an aggregate of
more than a million dollars. These
robberies were at Bibbsville, Septem-
Der, 1918; Irondale, July, 1915, and
near Greenville. Webb also is be-
lieved by federal authorities to have
had hand in the robbery of the
Baltimore and Ohio at Central Sta
ton, w. Va, October, 1913.
When he disappeared from Biz
mingham, postofice inspectors assert
Webb carried away a satchel contain
ing $500, 900, said to be his share Of
a "haul" made with the Harrisons.

PALATIAL PRIVATE
YACHT DAMAGED BY
A MYSTERIOUS BLAZE

Martin Sullivan's fine yacht. the
Mercedes, was badly damaged last
night shortly after 10 o'clock by a
fire, discovered and reported by Will
Brown to the central fire station. The
fire was of mysterious origin, since
it was stated by people who knew
that the boat had not been used for
q couple of days, and no fire had
been on the craft.
When Brown discovered the fire, It
was at first thought that the shed
was ablaze, as the Mercedes was oc-
cupying a berth in the new Elkan
boat house, at the corner of Baylen
and Pine street. It was soon reported
by telephone, and the trucks were
called out for the first time to fight
a blaze in about a week.

WILSON IMPRESSES THE
MEXICAN COMMISSIONERS
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New London, Sept. 12.-Wilson to-
day for the first time dealt personally
with the representatives of the Mex
lean de facto government, meeting
members of the Mexican commission
here to confer with the American
commissioners in an attempt to settle
the border situation. When the pres
ident extended his sympathy with the
aims of the revolution in Mexico, the
significance of the fact was not lost on
the Mexican commissioners. Wilson
told the Mexicans the regeneration of
their stricken nation must come from
within.
Wilson came here to be at the bed
side of his sister, Mrs. Anna Howe,
who is dying at local hospital.
The commissioners will resume
their deliberations tomorrow. Major
General Bliss, who has been sum-
moned to explain the military phases
of border situation, is expected here
tomorrow.

DID NOT WANT TO
GO TO WAR ZONE
SO THEY QUIT SHIP

Two American boys, who gave their
names as Joseph Basile and John Rice,
left the British steamship Justin at
this point Tuesday. Rather than go
into the war zone on ship menanced
by enemy submarines, the boys de-
cided to quit the ship here and suffer
a salary forfeit of $50 each.
Basile and Rice signed on the JUS
tin, which is a Booth liner, at Per-
nambuco, in the belief, they said, she
was coming to this country, take cargo
and return to South America, or else
go to Australia. Instead the steamer
went to Galveston, loaded cotton, ETC..
and cleared for Liverpool, stopping at
Pensacola en- route for bunker.
Two men were signed in place Of
Rice and Basile, and the liner con-
tinued on her voyage in the late aft
ernoon.

VOTERS MAY BE CALLED
TO GIVE TESTIMONY TO
THE CANVASSING BOARD

If the canvassing board fails to
sustain its allegations of fraud, per-
emptory writs for them to recanvass
the votes will be issued.
This new case grew out of an an
swer of the canvassing board alleg-
ing fraud, and is not the same case
that was settled in the circuit court,
therefore, the clerks and inspectors
are not competent witnesses to i'm
peach the testimony they have al
ready sworn to in an affidavit before
this court.
Voters will have to be summoned
by the canvassing board as witnesses,
and this may consume many weeks
The court decided to begin hearing
the testimony Friday morning.
The question arises whether or not
examination of voters will violate the
secrecy of the ballot.

FLOATING DERRICK SENT
HERE TOSALVAGEPL MES
IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT

A large self-propelled derrick has
been shipped to the aeronautical
school to assist in salvaging aero
planes after an accident, and will
probably be here in few days.
The following account of the der
rick is contained in Popular Me-
chanics:
For use at the Pensacola (Fla.)
aeronautical station of the navy, a
large, self propelled derrick has been
put together which will be employed
in salvaging flying boats that fall
into the ocean. 1t was recently COM
pleted at Charleston navy yard and
shipped to Florida to be assembled.
In general it is designed in the form
OF two pontoons, connected by trusses
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-09-13

and decking, on which a derrick with
a five-ton capacity and hosting speed
of five feet minute, is installed.
Two gasoline engines drive general
ing units that supply current to the
motors turning the screw propellers
and operating the crane. 1t is not
infrequent that flying boats are
swarnped when novices are being
given instruction, and in such in
stances they are invariably damaged
when attempts are made to tow them
ashore, even though the utmost care
be exercised in doing it. With the
floating derrick it will be possible to
lift foundered craft out of the water,
and return them to the station, or
to the battleship without injuring
them.
