New York Banker
Is Receiver For
Deepwater Lines

Upon the resignation of Philip D.
Beall as receiver of the Gulf, Florida
and Alabama Railroad yesterday,
John T. Steel, prominent banker and
broker of Buffalo, N. Y, was ap-
pointed to the position by Judge Will
liam B. Sheppard, and immediately
made bond in the sum of $4,000.
While no announcement of the plans
Of the new receiver was made, it is
understood that large improvements
will shortly be made in the road.
Mr.. Steel has assumed charge of
the offices, and the direction of the
railroad, and in commenting upon the
change to The Journal last night ex-
pressed his pleasure in finding the
affairs of the road in such good con-
dition, and complimented Mr.. Beall,
and Mr.. Patterson, his assistant on
their administration of the affairs of
the company.
In assuming the direction of the
road at this time, Mr.. Steele takes
over the scheme for the re-organiza
ton of the road, mapped out when
the road was placed in the hands of
receiver last spring. Mr.. Steele
is the largest single bondholder of the
road, owning, it is estimated, more
than 500 900 worth of the securities.
1t is understood that complete ar
rangements have been made with
capitalists to thoroughly equip the
road, land it is believed with the. re-
organization the financial difficulties
under which the road has labored will
be overcome, and that eventually the
bond, stock, and security holders will
realize on their investment.
In resigning the receivership of the
road, Mr.. Beal did so to devote more
time to his law practice, and to be-
come counsel for the G. F. & A.

Methodist preachers from all parts
Of West Florida and South Alabama
are assembled today at Dothan, Ala,
in annual conference, Bishop Denny
presiding. The usual routine services
will feature the first several days of
the convention, and it is expected that
the bishop will announce his appoint
ments about Monday or Tuesday of
next week.
Rev. D. P. Slaughter, pastor of the
Wright street Methodist church, who
is q member of important committees,
has been in Dothan for several days
looking into these preliminary mat
tiers with view to having his COM
mittees reports ready when expected.
Rev. Herbert w. Rice, pastor Of
the Gadsden Street Methodist church,
and Rev. Claude P. Roberts, OF the
Methodist City Missions, will be
among the others to attend from Pen
sacola. Presiding Elder r. A. Moody,
Of this district, will also be among
the important men in the conference
from this city and county.
Quite number Of Methodist min
listers were here during the past few
days, spending short times with
friends before going on to conference.
Rev. j. p. Roberts Of the Milton and
Bagdad charge; Rev. J. T. deBardela-
ben. who formerly labored in the local
fields. Rev. j. T. Cochrane. from a
West Florida charge, have been in
Pensacola previous to attending the
important gathering.
Methodist congregations here antic-
ipate no changes in the local charges,
as it is known that each Of them will
carry to conference a good report.
This almost invariably insures the re-
turn of ministers, at least three years
of service, the time limit in any one
charge being four years. However,
the entire distribution of ministers is
in the hands Of the bishop.

When the complete returns on Pen

Total subscriptions in Pensacola,
exclusive of the $4,000 pledged by
the fellows, or boys working, &c.

than three-fourths was in cash. This
sum was raised through the efforts
Of four divisions, each division di-
vided into teams. The division work
ing under George w. Howe, for the
Y. M. G. A. raised $2,164.0O, the ar
my and Navy Life Activities Commit
tee division, under DR.. William Ack-
erman raised S1,397.95. The Rotary
division, working under William
Fisher, raised $1,264, while the citi-

Much of the success of the cam

the men who worked on the teams,
and to L. Hilton Green, chairman of
the executive committee for West
Florida.

Aeronautic Station will be opened to
the men Of the yard this week. &C
cording to announcement made last

entirely complete, it is sufficiently
equipped for use until the workmen
can finish.
The original structure was demol-
ished in the storm of September 29,
after bling opened only three days. As
soon as the necessary arrangements
could be made, the old structure was
RACED, and the new building erected
across the yard from the original site,

western entrance to the enclosure.
Ralph H. Schulze, the new physi-
cal director for the Pensacola stations
has arrived, and will commence &C

CONGRESSIONAL BULBS.

One of the most important outcomes Of
the war is the development of agriculture
and allied interests, md the fact that Amer
lea has been thrown upon its own resources
to iced its people and to assist in caring for
other nations now at war, is giving an inn
petus not only to the growth of food stuffs,
but to all that can be produced for the
nourishment of the body and the Joy of
the soul
In line with the increased interest in
things horticultural, is the stimulus which
has been given to the planting of flowers
ard shrubs, which were forrnerly imported
to America. Just as most Bermuda lilies
are now grown in the United States, "Hol-
land bulbs are to be home grown, and the
tulips which blossom in our gardens will
no longer flaunt the colors of a foreign
nation, but will be home products, no less
brilliant because they have good American
lineage back of them.
The United States government has al
lotted to every member Of congress twenty
boxes of bulbs, each box containing twenty
bulbs each, the allotment including both
the senator's and representatives.
AS the Florida congressional delegation
consists of six memberS-two senators and
four representatives-ths state receives
from the Department of Agriculture 100
boxes, or 2 400 bulbs These bulbs are to
be distributed by the members to constitu-
ents in the same way as garden seed are
distributed in the spring. Just two varie-
ties of bulbs, the narcissus and the tupli
tulip are included. The bulbs are unusu-
ally large and fine, and the government is
lt o<ing forward to splendid results from
the distribution.

A 3e-YEAR-OLD WOODEN SHIP.

In support of its advocacy of wooden
ships, the Manufacturers Record says:
"In its maritime news the Baltimore Sun
mentions the fact that the Snow and Bur-
CESS, famous square-rigged ship in olden
days, but now changed into schooner,
formerly plying between Baltimore and
San Francisco recently arrived at Durham,
Southeast Africa, from Seattle, with over
100000 feet of lumber as a cargo. From
Durham she will sail for Manila and load
for San Francisco
This ship was built in Maine Sc years
ago of wood and yet some people have been
denouncing the construction of wooden
ships as though they were worthless and
would soon pass out of existence"

Beauty.

There Is an old saying that beauty
is only skin deep, but that is far from
the truth. Beauty is founded on good
health-without that there is no real
beauty. You can cover up muddy
or sallow complexion with face pow
der, but it vol not be beautiful. A
homely woman in good health is usu-
allv more interesting and more charm
ing than bilious dyspeptic beauty
Constipation and sluggish liver i'm
pair good looks. If you are troubled
in this way take Chamberlain's Tab
lets and you will soon be looking bet
ter and feeling better.-Adv.

Seven hundred and fifty feet of

commissioners when bids were opened
yesterday in response to advertise
fnents which had appeared in the city
press. There was but one bid, how
ever, this coming from the Eureka
Hose Company, which made an offer
of S1.1O per foot, which was lower,
it was stated, than had been antici-
pated, as this very necessary appa-
ratus, with everything else, has been
advanced in price Of late.

tragic young woman. The young Chilean,

MERCHANT SHIP WARNING.
Captains Must Obey Instructions of
Their Naval Associates.

Complaints that American merchant
ship captains have not co-operated with
commanders of conveys and with naval
gun crew commanders caused the De-
partment of Commerce to issue instruc-
tons to merchant officers to follow the
directions of their naval associates in
every instance where they are prompted
by military necessity. Disobedience of
the instructions it is pointed out, will
cause the withdrawal of merchant Off
GERS licenses.
The instructions make clear, however
that in matters relating solely to nayi-
cation and to the discipline of crews
the authority of merchant captains viii
be upheld.

URGES ENLARGEMENT OF

Surgeon Gen. Gorgas, in Report,
Suggests Preparation for Increased
Needs of War.

Enlargement of the Walter Reed Gen.

commended by Surgeon General Gorgas
in his annual report. to meet increased
demands due to the preparations for
war It is proposed that wards A and
B be made three stories each to pro-
vide additional rooms for special cases,
and also that more room be provided
for the X-ray laboratory.
The surgeon general says shelter
for the protection of persons waiting
for street cars, often quarter of an
hour at time. should be provided
He suggests a pavilion with proper
and dignified entrance to the ground
in the shape of an ornamental arch
with gateways.

Alcoholism on Decrease.

According to the surgeon general the
admission rate for alcoholism in the
United States Army for the past year
was 1888 per 1000, which is lower than
for the preceding year, when it was
1907. The decrease, he adds, has been
steady since 1907. when the rate was
$500, before which year there was a
steady increase for eight years. The
rate for last year was the lowest on
record in the Army since 1870. Gen.
Gorgas says that this remarkable de-
crease in the rates for alcoholism is
properly attributable to the effect pro-
duced by the act of Congress in stopping
the pay of officers and enlisted men when
incapacitated for duty because of sick
ness due TO drug addiction, alcoholism
or other misconduct.
