commissioners TO.
EXTEND TIME FOR
PAYING OF TAXES

At a special meeting of the board
Of city commissioners, which took
place in the office of Mayor johnson
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, it
was decided, in the passage of an or
dinance which had been read twice at
a former meeting, to extend the time
for the payment of taxes. The ordi-
nance specifies that tax payers are
granted an extension of forty-five
days before penalties will be enforced
but at the expiration of that time,
the city will proceed against all
property on which there had Jeen no
payment.
The extension OF the limit for en-
forcing the payment of taxes also
extends the time for the advertise
ment of sale of lands thus affected,
which will be about two months from
the time which the law now specifies
such advertising should be done.
Another Ordinance Passes.
The other ordinance, which per-
mits the return of all city property
to the tax rolls, and which is taxed
but eight per cent, with a waiver
Of all penalties, was also read the
third time at the Friday special
meeting, and passed.

BOY PULLS TRIGGER WHILE
SISTER HOLD GUN AS
FATHER SLEEPS.
YOUNGSTERS PLOT FOUR DAYS
AND IN COURT ADMIT
THEIR CRIME.
Staff Special.

Staff Special.
Durant, Okla, June 15.-Scientists
are puzzling over the case of the four
Wilkerson children, who murdered
their father, after consmring to kill
him in the cold-blooded fashion of
professional criminals.
Not in decades has such an as
founding murder been brought be-
fore criminologists, a murder which
every one of the four children has
admitted in court, and which none
seems to rue.
For four days they went over the
plans of the killing. Three times
the two younger children, who actual
ly committed the deed, ran away
from their victim frightened. But,
urged ahead by the older conspirators.
the younger children returned the
fourth time and completed the crime,
The oldest child is 13-year-Old Bes-
sic. Next comes Jack, u, then Ruby,
10, and the youngest, Otto, 8.
R. L. Wilkerson, the father, a
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-06-16

farmer, had often cursed them, the
children told County Judge Paullin.
Their mother had died last January.
When Wilkerson whipped Bessie, the
children planned the murder.
With the utmost unconcern, the
children showed the court how they
committed the awful deed While
their father slept, the children etols
up to him for the fourth time. Little
Otto, the youngest, had his finger at
the trigger OF a shotgun, Ruby point
ed the gun to the mans head, and the
other two urged them on. Otto
pulled the trigger.
Judge Paullin and others interest
ed in child welfare were astounded
by the calmness of the young muir
derers. He cannot explain it even
now.
The boys are now in the training
school of the state reformatory at
Pauls Valley, and the girls were sent
to the state school for girls at Okla
homa City.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL

Chicago, ILL.,, June 15.-In an APP
peal to lumber dealers to help the
farmers of the country build proper
buildings and thus conserve food
stuffs by preventing its spelling due
to improper housing, the National
Lumber Manufacturers association
through z. A. Sterling, manager Of
the Trade Extension department, has
made this declaration:
Increased grain and live stock
production is essential in the present
national emergency, and this is the
time to urge upon farmers the cree
ton of suitable hog houses, and pro
lection of farm implements, as well
as the erection of granaries and 9th
err farm structures on model lines.
This is the first step toward prevent
ing waste, the preservation Of crop
once harvested"
This statement of the need Of the
farmer as it applies to the retail lum-

YACHTSMEN IRE
INVITED To THE
BILOXI RACES

An invitation has been extended
the Pensacola Yacht Club by the BIZ
loxi Yacht Club for the local yachts
men to take part in the annual re-
gatta to be held at Biloxi on July 4.
It is probable that a number of mem
bers of the yacht club will go to
Biloxi to take part in the events.
INSTEAD of holding the long distance
regatta from New Orleans to Pensa-
cola this year, it will be run from
New Orleans to Biloxi. This changes
a custom Of many years standing, and
will probably result in having no re-
gatta in Pensacola this year.
