And speaking OF hunting, why we
have il here II would turn some of

deer. wild pigeons, wild turkey and
wild chicken and the place is just run

FROM A LAUNCH

Stealing propeller from launch
and selling the same, is the charge
that has been docketed against Dan
Butler, colored, who admitted when
arrested that everything they said
about him was not all true, but the
facts were partially truly expressed.
The boat, it was told the police
under oath, was the property of
Charles Howard, and when the latter
hauled the craft from the water, with
the intention of making repairs, was
when Butler is said to have gotten
in his work. The propeller had been

ABSOLUTE SECRECY
BE MAINTAINED At
THE CUSTOM HOUSE

Beginning today. absolute secrecy
will be maintained at the Pensacola
custom house. This is in line with
orders effective here for some two or
three weeks, when not only the mani
tests of vessels were closed to the
public, but even the destinations Of
all clearance vessels were kept
secret.
The secrecy has been widened from
day to day, it seems, and pilot asso-
Citations at some ports are urged not
to make public the fact of the depart
ure of vessels, especially for the war
zone points.
All vessels arriving, however, are
made known. Whether they come
from the disturbed sea centers of
Europe or from coastwise ports, it
is all the same. Reporters are furn-
ished with general knowledge of their
arrivals, but some secrecy is main
tanned as to the possible loading port
Of new arrivals.

SECRET SAILINGS OF
ALL MERCHANT SHIPS
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE prac-
tice of publishing destinations and
manifests of merchant ships leaving
American ports will be discontinued
during the crisis with Germany as
protection to American interests, the
treasury department decided tonight.
No word as to the port for which
any vessel sails or the cargo she
carries will be made public by the
officials granting the clearances, and
the great merchant fleet carrying
American commerce will come and
go with the secrecy of war vessels,
This decision is already virtually in
effect in New York, but will be ap-
piled within forty-eight hours at
every American port on the Atlantic,
Gulf, Pacific and in the island pos
sessions.

DISAPPEARANCE OF
SMACK GALATEA YET
UNsOLVED MYSTERY

Every rumor in connection with the
disappearance of the motor boat Gal
atea, week ago, has been run down
during the week, but up to last night
not the least trace of the missing
ship had been found. The idea that
the Galatea, capable of doing coast
ing work very successfully, has been
stolen, and is now in Cuban waters
has been growing in strength from
day to day.
A dozen or so fishing craft, either
entering or departing FROM the har-
Dor, have had men aboard who have
been under specific instructions 20
look out for and report any trace of
the missing Galatea, and it is un-
derstood that, for information lead
ing to the recovery of the boat quite
substantial sum will be earned by
the informant, but thus far this has
not been Forthcoming. at is, sadly,
too true, that the Galatea has dis
appeared" said one fishing company
head last night, "and what is more
to the point, we believe the boat has
been stolen. But the man who To-
Gates and reports the location Of the
smack will be rewarded for his
trouble. We have long abandoned the
idea that the Galarea broke from hei
anchor moorings, and have about con
Guided she has been stolen outright.
Not only are the owners and inter
ested fishermen looking for the boat
but it is known that any possibly sus
picious craft, built along or near tn
lines of the Galatea, is sure to com
in for the closest scrutiny on the par
of coast guard officials here.

CITY To DEMOL|SH
FRAME BUILDINGS

Two frame buildings at the corner
Of Government and DeVilliers streets,
on order signed by Mayor Hinrichs,
were ordered destroyed. Work of
razing them viii probably start this
morning.
These buildings, at present unten-
anted, are on the street line, and have
been for long time the bone of con-
tention by city and owner. The city
for some time conducted an agita-
ton to have the structures either
moved back from the street line or
destroyed altogether, while the own
ers have as persistently refused to
act, and until the structures became
almost untenable, there was no move
made to take them off the property
line. One Of the buildings, the one
owned by N. Goldring, and situated
on the southeast corner of the streets
named, was recently damaged by fire
and has been pronounced dangerous
The other, just across and on the
north side of Government street, is
owned by E. Norman and Mrs. Tate
1t has also been condemned.
Due notice to remove the dengerou:
and pronouncedly unsafe structure:
has been served by the city, givine
owners time to comply with salt
orders. Not needing such mandate
the city will act during the week.

In addition thereto. each of them would

ID Black. Thompson & Wilson, Inc.
In the case of this corporation, which
was incorporated prior to March 8,
1917, and therefore, under the statute,
entitled to include as part of it's In
vested capital the sum representing the
value of its good will, namely. 100000.
the tax would be reduced because of
computation on the basis of an enlarged
invested capital. namely. 100000. in
stead of 100000. This enlarged in
vested capital. based purely on the ac-
cidental fact of date of Incorporation,
would reduce the amount of the excess
profits tax, so that the same in the case
of this corporation would be only $780,
400, as compared with $45.600 in the
case OF the corporation covered by the
preceding illustration. And the total
taxes payable by the corporation and
stockholders in this instance would be
reduced accordingly.
