Mariana Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal

Mariana, Fla, June 22.-In one of
the mOsS enthusiastic rallies ever held
in Marian.0 the people of Jackson
county this afternoon launched the
American Red Cross Association of
Jackson county, Florida.
The rally was called by DR.. r. S.
Pierce, temporary chairman of the
preliminary meeting held some weeks
ago, and having been advertised
throughout the county, a good at
tendance was had from every section
of the county
When the great courtroom of Jack
son county's courthouse had been fill.
ed, DR.. Pierce arose and stated the
purpose of the rally, briefly outlining
the necessity for enrolling not less
than two hundred members and set
ting four hundred as an ultimate
goal, He explained also that the or
ganization will be independent Of
other organizations, full authority
having been obtained from the off,
GERS of the American Red Cross As
ISOLATION at Washington for the or
ganization of separate chapter for
this city and county to bear the above
name.
This he stated would remove the
objection of many to becoming mem
bers of an organization which would
be only a branch of the Pensacola
chapter as was at first planned when
it was thought that Jackson county
could not support a separate chapter.
After having Secretary w. d. Dan
lei read the authority for the organi-
cation of the chapter, DR.. Pierce in
troduced Judge Cephas L. Wilson of
the fourteenth judicial circuit R5
Florida, who was the speaker of the
occasion, and with intense feeling
pervading the entire address, Judge
Wilson held the great audience spell
bound with interest and emotion
while he pictured the magnitude of
the task that faces America, the
horrors of the great war into which
the country has been plunged through
no fault of her own, and the great
and compelling necessity for the peo-
pie of every part of the United States
to spring to the support of the Red
Cross in its effort to alleviate the
suffering of the soldiers of the ma
ton and her allies as they bleed and
ule III JIle cause OF freedom
Judge Wilson with unanswerable
logic assured the people that the war
is not near an end and that even with
the united effort of the entire coun-
try with all its resources it bids fair
to be a distant day when peace shall
be declared and in the name of hui
mainly he plead with them to sup
port the Red Cross as the strongest
ally of the fighting forces of the ma
ton.

speaker carried conviction and when

SAILORS TELL
4 WEIRD TALE
ALICE THEY ARE ENTICED ON
SHIPS AGAINST THEIR WILL
NO "CRIMPING" IN PENSACO-
LA SLATED.

Three Spanish sailors, who spoke
through an interpreter, told a weird
story of alleged ilI-treatment, yester-
day, in PepDo's South Palafox street
restaurant. They claim they were
persuaded to leave their ship on the
promise of very large wages else
where, and now claim that an attemp1
has been made to ship them against
their will in ships bound for the war
zone. They claimed that they were
satisfied aboard the ship from which
they had been taken, as they alleged,
and were at loss to know what sort
of a country they were in, as this is
the first time either of them has been
in the United States.
1t is understood that they will go
before the Spanish consul today.
In addition to the three sailors,
who came from a full-rigged ship, a
boy, not out of his teens, is said to
have been persuaded to leave a Span
ish bark, and was later arrested as
a deserter. The captain, because of
the boys youth, however, made ar
rangements to take him back to ship,
and it is understood that he has been
returned.
On a Swedish ship which is ready
for sea were last night reported two
members of the crew of the fishing
smack Culebra, and it is understood
that they are averse to going to sea,
especially when they learned that TIM
ship on which it appears they have
been regularly signed, IS not pro
ceeding hence to South or Central
America, as was at first reported. 1t
is understood their complaint has
been filed with federal officials.
Sailor "crimping", it was reported
is being practiced at ports not fan
from Pensacola, but as FAR as fed
eral officers have been able to ascer-
tain, this is not being done here. II
is said, however, that the offer of
fancy prices for wages have been the
means of sending many local fisher
man abroad, but whether shippers
are a party to this slight straining of
the federal shipping statutes, there
are none who will even care to eX-
press themselves. Consular repre-
sentatives. of foreign countries are
alert here, so far as could be learned
and very promptly report any viola
ton Of the United States shipping
laws. Able bodied seamen nowadays
are so much in demand, it is said
that they are in position to almost
command their own salaries.

AGRICULTURE AGENT WEST
BROOK DISCUSSES AGRICUL-
TURAL NEEDS BEFORE FOOD
PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE.

Cooperative farming, and CEN
trial market for the farmers were the
needs of Escambia county stressed
at the meeting of the Food Prepared
ness Committee Friday afternoon in
the court house, and S, J, Westbrook
and William James, agricultural
agents of the l.. & n. were present
to outline conditions.
Numerous cases were recited by
Mr.. Westbrook tending to show that
farmers brought products to the city,
and returned home with more than
half of the load unsold, to be dumped
and lost, simply because PensacoIians
would not pay the market price, and
the farmer refused to sell for less.
1t was this condition, which made
market imperative, for while the
farmer could not have shipped his
products, market could have bought
them, and stored them until shipment
could be made.
Nearly all Of the time of the COM
mittee was consumed in a general
discussion and when it adjourned,
there was little of adequate nature
accomplished, though the interchange
of views no doubt proved of value.
From many tours of the county,
Messrs, James and Westbrook were
we'll acquainted with farming condi-
tions, and said that if every section
of the country produced as much corn
as West Florida, there is no need to
worry as to the food supply
The problem, as stated, resolved it.
self into a question of finding a mar
ket, for if food is produced, it will be
consumed, and can be sold at good
price on some market. The inability
of the smaller farmer to make in
dividual shipment precluded him
reaching this market, but through a
marketing bureau, or cooperative
shipments, he could obtain good
prices.
Though opposing in some respects
Mr.. Westbrooks statements regard
ing Pensacola's apathy in helping
the farmer, A. F. Paderick showed
great interest in the problem, and
| offered many suggestions to remedy
/ them. In the course of his remarks
| Mr. Paderick commended The Journal
| for publishing the crop table, which
has appeared in these columns often
and said that it was one of the most
| comprehensive he had ever seen.
Irrigation, and hog raising were
also touched on, but no steps taken in
| either direction.

The engagement between the

STOP, SANDERS AGAIN THEME
STECIAL MAN EMPLOYED TO
ENFORCE TRAFFIC LAWS-IN-
sPECT BRAKES AND EQUIP
MENT OF AUTOS.

Police Commissioner Frank D. San
ders yesterday announced that he
would shortly detail a competent man
from the police department to give
his whole attention to the enforce
ment of traffic rules, and the duties
of this officer will be, not only to see
that the street rules for driving are
complied with, but will also inspect
brakes and general equipment of all
autos and other vehicles on the
streets. In fact this is going to be
an especial duty required of the Off
Ger to be so detailed, hence the desire
of the police commissioner to detail
competent officer on this assign
ment.
The commissioner was investigat-
ing complaints yesterday of speeding
on a number of residential thorough
fares, particularly on Ninth avenue
above Gadsden street. 1t was re-
ported that one particularly daring
motorcycle rider has made himself
real obnoxious in the neighborhoOd,
and the head of the police depart
ment gave orders yesterday that any,
one violating the speed laws be inn
mediately arrested and presented be-
fore the city court for trial.
The ordinance regulating the uses
of the streets will be enforced" said
Commissioner Sanders, land | wish
the people who drive cars to know
that they must comply with the law
If it was not to be enforced, it would
not be on the statute books. / would
advise all the motor drivers especial
" to get copies of the ordinance and
acquaint themselves with its provis-
ions, for | know there are violations
on the part of some who may be
ignorant of that fact"
Speed limits, as defined by the ordi-
nance, are II miles an hour on bust
ness streets; miles an hour at
crossings on business streets; 20
miles an hour on resident streets,
and ten miles an hour at crossings
on resident streets.
All traffic, the ordinance specifies,
north and south, shall have the right
of way over traffic moving east and
, west except on Guillemarde street,
where the right of way shall be given
to traffic moving east and west.
It is not only unlawful for per-
sons under sixteen years of age to
drive any motor car, but it is also un-
lawful for anyone to permit one un-
der sixteen years of age to drive a
motor vehicle on the public streets
of the city of Pensacola.
The ordinance specifies that it is
unlawful for an intoxicated person to
drive any motor vehicle on the
streets. 1t is also unlawful to OBJ
struct or interfere with a funeral pro-
| cession.
There are numerous sections which
prohibit cettain acts daily practiced
by autoists, especially private cars,
and unless there is a change in tao
ties, the motor brake inspector and
traffic man will have a busy time of
| it.

AMERICANS ATTRACT
WIDESPREAD ATTENTION

Base of American Fleet in British
Waters, June 22.-(By Associated
Press. 1.-Two American pool tables
arrived in this picturesque old village
today. They are the first American
tables ever seen here and attracted
a great deal of attention. They are
the latest addition to the shore home
for the crews of the American de-
stroyers which has been named the
United States Naval Mems club and
which is being built with funds pro
vided by American business men IN
London and New York.
Although the dormitory feature of
the club house, which will provide
sleeping accommodations for seven
ty-five men will not be completed for
a month, the club house will be for
maIly opened Saturday night. Nov
ing pictures will share in the honOrs
with a vaudeville program provided
by the American sailors. The pro.
gram has been printed by the de.
stroyers' printers and announces
songs, dances, recitations and wrestl-
ing matches by "the most marvellous
aggregation from Gods country that
ever set foot in anybody else's cOun-
try"
A moving picture machine from one
of the ships has been installed and
the orchestra of the destroyer fleet
is busy practicing for its share in the
entertainment. Another feature will
be a minstrel show by a troop Of
comedians who were formerly on the
battleship Nebraska. The sailors
were busy today putting the finishing
touches to their club house which was
formerly a public bath house and
which they have converted into a hall
which seats nearly 1000 persons.
Under the balcony which skirts the
walls the ship carpenters have con-
gtructed 8 series of little alcoves as
coy corners and the ship artists have
adorned the interior of each corner
with a painting of Old Glory inter
twined with the allies colors. The
operations are being superintendent
by the fleet chaplain, a great favorite
with the sailors.
When the club house is completed
the men will enjoy the accommoda-
tons of a first class club, including
a canteen where American tobacco
and refreshments may be purchased
at pre-war prices. Six shower baths
will be another luxury.
