PETITIONS BE HELD
UP FOR THE PRESENT

At a special meeting of the joint
road committees of the Chamber of
Commerce held yesterday morning in
the head offices, it was decided that
the petitions calling a special road tax
election will not be circulated until
a definite conclusion is arrived at on
the route of the road, and either one
of the proposed routes definitely
selected.
To do this full committee attend
ance is desired, and as many of the
members are out of the city. it is
expected that it will be next Monday
before any definite action is taken.
Practically the entire time of the
committee yesterday was consumed
in discussing the proposition, and
comparing the two routes, though as
soon as all members are present, no
difficulty is expected in nsaking a
decision.

LOCAL FISHERMEN
ASK INCREASE IN
PRICE SNAPPERS
PRESENT REQUEST FOR BETTER
ALLOWANCE FOR DEEP-2EA
CATCHES, But WHOLESALERS
HAVE NOT REPLIED.

Local deep sea fishermen are ask
ing for an increase allowance on re-
turns of red snappers and groupers
brought from Campeachy and the
Mexican coast, and there is every
probability, it is said, of the dealers
acceding to the wishes of the men,
Thus far the request has been pre-
sented to wholesalers through cor
respondence and reply has not yet
been received. Frank Welles of the
Saunders Fish Company, and Frank
Taylor, of the Warren Fish Company,
the two most influential of the local
wholesalers. are not in the city, hav-
ing been called to Washington to con-
fer with the food administrator rela-
tive to the frozen fish trade. Upon
their return, it is possible they Will
get together for conference, with a
view to replying to the requests of
the fishermen.
The latter ask for an increase of
one cent per pound for red snappers,
and one-haf a cent increase for
groupers. This means the whole
salers paying the fishermen six cents
for snappers and three cents for
groupers. Several months ago the
price paid for snappers was volun-
November of last year one-half cent
increase was given for groupers.
Probably half of the local fleet is
laid up for want of crews at present.
There are seven vessels at Bagdad,
four at Baylen and four at Palafox
wharves Many members of the
fishermen's union, attracted by fancy
wages now being paid deep sea sail
ors. are signing on merchant ships,
and a few days ago fisherman quail
flied for a job before the mast pay
ing S125 and bonus. The smallest
wages paid to American seamen now
adays is $50 monthly. Up on the
coast of Gloucester, where num1er
of local fishermen have also betaken
themselves, where they have engaged
in the mackerel trade, this fish now
being quoted at 27 cents at present.
At present catches of red snappers
have been small. During the past
eight days but three smacks have re-
turned, all with comparatively small
catches.

CUBAN AVIAT0RS
MAY BE SENT TO
LOCAL STATION
TY-TIVE, FORMING AN "ES.
CADRILLE CUBAINE," BELIEV-
PENSACOL.

That twenty-five Cuban aviators,
forming an "Escadrille Cubaine" for
service in France, similar to the La
Fayette Escadrille, may be sent to
the aeronautic station here for train
ing is the statement contained in
a news story in the latest issue o.
Aviation.
Following is the account:
Colonel Coronado, a member of the
Cuban Senate, is organizing an air
plane squadrilla which will be offered,
completely equipped, to the French
Republic This Escadrille Cubaine,
as the unit is officially called, will be
Cuba's first contribution of fighting
men to the allied cause.
Colonel Coranado's plans called for
a body of twenty-five trained avia-
tors to comprise the escadrille, but al
ready thirty three youths who are
representatives of the best families of
Cuba, have volunteered to take the
prescribed aviation course, and indi-
vidually to bear the expense of their
airplanes and equipment. many of
the volunteers for the escadrille are
graduates of French universities, and
all speak French and are aviation
enthusiasts
Senator Coronado has just returned
from New York where he conferred
with officials. The colonel has asked
the navy department in Washington
for an arrangement by which the
Cuban aviators may undergo their
preliminary training at the navy sta
ton at Pensacola, Fla.

CASE OF EPPES,
ASSESSOR, HEARD
BY GOVERNOR
LEON COUNTY OFFICIAL CAU-
TONED TO EXERCISE MORE
CARE AND TTENTION TO OF
FTCIAL DUTIES IN FUTURE.

Tallahassee, Sept. 25-Fronn three
to five o'clock this afternoon Govern
or Cats heard charges that had been
preferred against Tax Assessor Ed
ward B. Eppes, of Leon county, by
State Tax Commissioner r. j. Patter-
son, and others, with the result that
the county official was advised to
keep his eyes open in future, to i'm
mediately make an effort to assess
the property that had not previously
been taxed, and was assured by the
governor that if he attended to his
duties strictly he would not be sus-
pended at this time, but was cautioned
to be careful in the future.
Mr.. Eppes was not charged with
general incompetence Or malfeasance
and misfeasance, as had been sup
posed by many, but was brought to
on the specific charge of having
failed to assess about ninety thousand
dollars worth of cotton that had been
held in the yards here for several
months, according to Mr.. Patterson,
for speculation purposes. At the
hearing today there was no evidence
as to the ownership of the cotton at
the time it could have been taxed.
and it was pointed out that cotton on
the yards in other counties is not as
sessed as a general thing.
Mr.. Eppes promised the governor
that he would see the last owners of
the cotton tomorrow and endeavor to
establish ownership on January first
las. Some of the taxes on this cot
ton may yet be collected, and in fu-
ture the local assessor will class such
goods as personal property and de-
mand that it be turned in as such.

With the hosting of hurricane sig
mails at 4 o'clock yesterday, Pensacola
began preparing for a storm of cy-
clonic proportions and along the wa
ter front shipping interests lost no
time in getting everything secure, in
expectation of severe weather during
the night. The. weather observer
was in his office until a late hour
last night but received no adyices
other than the A p. m. bulletin.
Rockets were fired from the roof OF
ever, warning vessels in the gulf to
prepare for hard weather.
Pensacolians slept, as one lady said
to The Journal at o'clock this morn
ing, with half-an-eye open," and
along the bayshore. When queries
hardly strike before this afternoon
if it came at all, inquirers appeared
satisfied.
Late in the evening it was reported
that advices had been received that
storm, and that the naval station had
been so. advised. Upon the circula-
ton of this report, many from the
bayshore line decided to come to the
city for the. night. This report
however, could not be confirmed.
The barometer up to late night re-
mained at 30.O2, but shortly before
midnight began falling, and at Il
O'Clock, at one point on the water
front, was reported at 29.84.
Torrential rainfall was reported at
Miami Yesterday, a total of 500
