LINER IN PORT HAS
GUN ON AFTERDECK
FOR OWN DEFENSE

Mounted on the after deck of the
Booth liner Oswald, which came into
Pensacola harbor yesterday for a
supply of bunker coal, was a machine
gun, capable, it is said, of firing just
about as fast as man can count the
shots. The gun was placed there for
defensive purposes, and official re-
port of the presence of the weapon
was made to the custom house by the
boarding officer who met the steam
er in the stream. The Oswald also
had wireless equipment. but because
of the short stay of the steamer in
port this was not required to be dis
mantled.
This is the first merchant steamer
with deck guns to have been in PEN
saeola harbors since the war started.
The weapon is carried, as stated, for
purposes of defense, and an expert
marksman aboard, it is said, is kept
constantly on duty when the steamer
enters the danger zone in English
waters The gun, ii is said, is kept
loaded and ready to repel any enemy
submarine or raider which may at
tempt to hold up, detain OF sink the
Oswald.

BOY is ARRESTED FOR
THE FIRE INVESTIGATION
Leslie Allsbrook Taken Into
Custody Pending Probe
of Burning.
NO CHARGE YET MADE
Authorities Claim to Have
Strong Evidence - To
Await Developments.
NO CHARGE YET MADE

Although no specific charge has
been preferred against him, Leslie
Allbrook, son of w. N. Allbrook, was
arrested yesterday by Detective
Frank j. Sanders, for investigation
in connection with the fire which de-
molished the High school.
Young Allbrook is held IN the
county jail. where he was placed yes
terday after investigation had been
made in the causes of the fire, and it
is stated that the authorities have
information that he is the youth seen
running from the building after the
second attempt had been made.
The young man denies his connec-
ton with the case, and says that in
the former case he was running from
the site merely to cal the police.
Other developments are expected in
the case today, and the investigation
has not yet ceased.
AS it is a fairly established fact
that the fire originated in the tower
atop the building, the means of en-
trance was found to have been ac-
cessible to one who knew of the in
terror of the building The tower
was entered from the upper floor by
hinged ladder, in ordinary eccas-
ions swung to the ceiling and con-
trolled by rope and pulley. 1t is the
work of moment only to lower the
ladder and gain entrance to the
tower.
Up until Saturday night the build
ing had been watched, but the serv-
ices of the Waterman were discon-
tinued within twenty-four hours of
the disastrous fire. No fire had been
in the furnace of the building since
Friday afternoon when the janitoT
was dismissed.

THE DAY WAS

Evervbodv went to the fire

Everybody went to the fire
Whole swarms of people, rush
ing hither and yon, pell nell and
heller SHELTER, all thinking that
they could nelp, and everybody
getting in everybody eIse's way.
A "stude" leans out of the do
mestic science room window, and
throws an arm full of dishes to
the ground, and calmly walks
down the steps with a waste
paper basket in tow.
Some energetic youngster
rushes madly from the cellar
with a wheelbarrow, not in the
least in danger. and unable to
stop because of the inclined yard,
plunges into group of watch
ers, upsetting them like nine
pins.
Fearing that steel wire bas-
ket will be ruined, some embry-
onic fireman hurls it from a win
dow only to smash into an
old lady on the sidewalk
With water cooler and all ac-
cessories, seemingly coming
down the steps on pair of hui
man legs, some flaming particles
drop, and so does the water
cooler, revealing that red
headed youngster was behind it.
But it was great fire. and
everybody went.

HIGH SCHOOL
MEETS TODAY
Students to Remove Books.
Board Meets, Planning
Immediate Continuance.

The High school building viii not
be used again, nor will any attempt
be made to rebuild it, according to a
statement issued last night by Chair
man c. j. Levey of the board of
public instruction. 1t is estimated
that the loss is covered by $4,000
worth of insurance, but that the loss
Yesterday is believed to have been
greater. Aside from the damage of
the fire, it is pointed out that much
of the equipment was ruined by
water.
All students are requested to meet
at the school this morning at nine
o'clock to attempt to stra .~hten out
the chaos of books, and to remove
any other valuables not injured by
the fire.
The High school faculty is re-
quested to meet this afternoon at
three o'clock in the Clubbs school to
arrange plans and to hear the an
noincement of the boards decision.
The board Of public instruction will
hold special meeting this morning
at eleven o'clock in the superin-
tendent's office to make final ar
rangements for continuing school Inn
mediately.
Two plans have been discussed, and
either one win be adopted. The first
provides. for the temporary fitting
of the Armory and some of the rooms
on the lower floor of the court house
annex, to be. used as a school until
other definite arrangements can be
made.
The other plan, and the one which
will probably be adopted, is to use
the Clubbs building, until this year
used as a High school. In connection
with the latter plan, tentative ar
rangements have been made to place
it into immediate effect should it be
adopted.
The Grammar school now using the
building would meet at $50 in the
morning, holding an uninterrupted
session without study periods until
one o'clock when school would be dis
missed.
The High school students and fac
ulty would then take charge of the
building, holding continuous session
until five o'clock without study
periods or recess. This system would
probably be continued until other
school children could be distributed
in other buildings and some one
building in the city given over to the
High school.
| In discussing the loss OF the build
ing last night, lnr. Levey stated that
TO get new one the people of Pen.
sacola should create a special tax dis

Parent Teachers Association to b.
held on this subject win be held to-
morrow night, when 1T is. expected
that all interested in the matter vii

No word was received from the steamer Latouche today and the posi- ton of the steamer is unknown. The local representatives of the Alaska Steamship Company believe the ves- l'sel will arrive here about tomorrow
 night. An unconfirmed report in cir
 culation is to the effect that the La touche lost a propeller blade while crossing the Paclfific and the delay
 in arrival at the pass is attributed to the accident It is also said that
 the steamer has wirelessed for a diver
 to come to St. Michael, presumably to make some repairs. However, noth- ing definite can be learned with re- spect to the report and it hs probable
 that, like many another rumor, 1t is
 based upon nothing at all.
