TOURISTS INQUIRE
FOR WINTER ROOMS

Inquiries for rooms coming from
prospective winter visitors to Pensa.
cola are fairly swapping the Cham
Der Of Commerce, and indications
point to the largest winter season il
the history of the city. Owing tc
the difficulty in securing accommoda-
tons for the visitors, the Chamber Of
Commerce requests all Pensacolians
who have rooms for rent to list them
at once with the secretary.
For the benefit of the visitors to
the city, the secretary wishes an
nouncement made that no charges are
assessed for locating the rooms, an6
that all inquiries will be gladly ans
wered, and an effort made to secure
accommodations for all.

NEGROES HELD ON
SERIOUS CHARGES

Willie and Daisy Williams, colored,
charged with larceny, were locked up
at the county Jail yesterday, having
been bound over to the higher author
tiles from the city court. These ne
groes are concerned in the theft of
about 500 from another negro, who
is a railroad man, and who complained
to the police shortly after he had re-
covered from his experience, There
were half a dozen negroes at first
corralled by the police and held as
dangerous and suspicious characters,
but it appears to have resolved itself
into the blame of being put on the

been changing gold into money of

NEWSPRINT MEN HURRY
TO NATIONAL CAPITAL

Newsprint paper manufacturers, now
being investigated by federal grand
jury in New York, hurried here
unexpectedly today to confer with the
federal trade commission. None of
those at the conference would say
what was discussed or who proposed
it, but it was not denied that the
course of the Department of Justice
was taken up. The federal grand jury
in New York has been asked to return
indictments against manufacturers for
violations of the antitrust laws.
The trade commission will send a
preliminary report of it's investigation
to Congress within few days, but it
is the intention to continue the investi-
cation under the direction of Francis
]. Heney of San Francisco. -
Efforts of the commission have been
directed largely toward finding a way
to reduce prohibitive newsprint prices
Thus far the manufacturers. it is said,
have shown little willingness to CO.
operate.
The manufacturers here today are
Philip T. Dodge. Chester w. Lyman
and Owen Shepherd. all of the Inter
national Paper Company; George H.
Meade, Dayton, Ohio. and Alexander
Smith of Chicago.

British Patrol Boats
Swarm About Ships
to Frustrate U-Boats

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 14.-Travelers
from Europe arriving here on British
sbips sneak of the extreme activity of
the British patrol boats, which. they
saw swarmed about them during their
journeys through the submarine war
zone. Passengers on the Laconia and
the Ascania, which got in yesterday,
testified to the fact that armed trawlers
and other patrol boats accompanied
them part of the way in relays.
oficers of the British merchant ma
rine are more reticent. particularly in
regard to the new and strange courses
thew now follow in the eastern Allan
tic in order to avoid the old established
steamship lanes. 1t is understood that
British shippers before sailing receive
sealed orders from the admiralty which
they open before taking their noon OBJ
seryations, and follow the courses laid
down by these orders unless they are,
changed by wireless. In this way, it
is said. the British admiralty knows the
location of every mer-
chantman on the high seas.

LONDON, February 14.-The
American schooner Lyman M.
Law was sunk by submarine on
Monday, according to dispatch
from the Stefani Agency 81 Rome.
The crew, including eight Arneri-
cans, is reported to have been

Der material used in Italy for manu-
facture of lemon crates. according to

United States Seeks Information.
On the basis of news dispatches the
government began seeking official in
formation of the destruction of the
American schooner Lyman M. Law by
a submarine, to determine at once how
the case affects the delicate situation
between Germany and the United
States.
The dispatch was taken to indicate
that the Law was sunk in the Medi-
terranean, where Austria also is con-
Quoting submarine opera tions.
The main points to be determined are
whether the ship was attacked without
warning, whether she carried contra
band and whether any American lives
were lost
The United States considers the sink
ing, of a ship carrying contraband
doubtful right. but. as in the case Of
the sailing ship, William P. Frye and
steamer Housatonic. has not considered
it violation of international law to be
compared to destruction which entails
loss of life.
Whether the destruction of the Law
will turn out to be 1.-The overt act" of
the submarine campaign will have to
depend on the exact facts.

was last reported on her departure
from Stockton. Me-. for Palermo. Sicily.
She was owned by the Benedict Man
son Marine Company of New Haven

Pointing out that the socialist party

The letter pointed out that if the

The article says that, conveyed or
not, merchantmen in the restricted

would not attack neutral war vessels
acting as conveys. but that such YES

Message Sent to Minister Gonzales.
The message to the Cuban people
was sent to Minister Gonzales and to
all American consuls with instructions
that it be given widest publicity. 1t is
carefully worded but calculated to i'm
press upon the public the seriousness
of the situation and the profound dis
favor that such a revolution would find
in Washington.

Text of U. S. Warning.
The following is the text of the mes
sage sent to Minister Gonzales and to
the American consuls in Cuba for pub
lication to the people:
THE government of the United States
has received with the greatest appre-
hension the reports which have come
to it to the effect that there exists or
saniIed revolt against the government
of Cuba in several provinces and that
several towns have been seized by the
inSurrectionists.
Reports such as these of insurrec-
ton against the constituted govern
ment cannot be considered except as
of the most serious nature since the
government of the United States has
given it's confidence and support only
to governments established through
legal and constitutional methods
During the past four years the gov
ernment of the United States has clear
ly and definitely set forth it's position
in regard to the recognition of govern
ments which have come into power
through revolution and other illegal
emphasize it's position in regard to the
present situation in Cuba
Its friendship for the Cuban people,
which has been shown on repeated oc-
casions and the duties which are in
cumbent upon it on account of the
agreement between the two countries,
forces the government of the United
States to make clear it's future policy
st-this time
