in Pensacola and at that time the
federal grand jury here investigated
the peonage charge made against
them by Gertha Haigs and Cleveland
Holt, but did not find sufficient evil
dence to warrant an indictment.
After being unable to secure the
indictment, the authorities placed the
two negro complainants and three
other witnesses in jail, carried them
to Tallahassee to appear before the
federal grand jury there with the
result that an indictment charging
both Mr.. Hollemon and Mr.. Williams
with peonage was secured. The negro
witnesses are held in jail to await the
next term of the court when they will
testify in the case.
j. H. Smithwick of Pensacola, and
w. w. Clark of Milton, are attorneys
for the defendants.

DEFENDANT SENDS
HIS BOND HERE

Bond for j. H. Williams, of Nets,
Fla, who was jointly indicted with
w. F. Hollemon on the charge of
peonage at the term of the federal
court in Tallahassee last week, was
received by Clerk F. w. Marsh and
approved yesterday. Upon being noti-
fled by his attorneys that he had been
indicted, Mr.. Williams made the nee
essary bond and forwarded it to the
federal authorities in Pensacola.
Mr.. Hollemon voluntarily came to
Pensacola Monday, looked up the au-
thorities and made bond for his ap-
pearance.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Hollemon and Mr.. Williams were
placed under bond some time before
the last term of the federal court

CAPTAIN JAYNE
EXPECTED FRIDAY

Captain j. L. Jayne is expected to
arrive tomorrow to assume command
of the aeronautic station, relieving
Captain H. C. Muslin, who will prob
ably remain here for several weeks
before going to his new post.
The change in commandments of the
station, it is understood, was made
because Of the desire of the navy de-
partment to increase the scope of the
navy yard, and to place both the
aeronautic and regular yard work I'M
der one officer.
As it is necessary 1or an officer
to supervise the aeronautic division
who is acquainted with aeronautics,
and it is possible that an officer will
be appointed to be in active charge
of the aeronautic work, though un-
der the general supervision of Cap
tain Jayne.

The Habit 81 Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is q
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed--not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 80 degrees F
Also sleep with your window up. Dc
this and you will seldom take cold
When you do take cold take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and get rid OF
it as quickly as possible. Obtainable
everywhere.-Adv.

ed amendments to the administration
bill authorizing calls for volunteers
in increments of 100000 and provid-
ing that the draft shall be applied only
in the event that President Wilson
decides that the force needed cannot
be raised and maintained under the
volunteer plan.
Minority Report Is Ready.
Chairman Dent headed the anti.
draft forces and will introduce the
amended bill in the House with view
to pressing It for passage. Represen-
tative Kahn of California, ranking Re-
publican member of the committee, is
preparing a report to be signed by
the minority and will join in leading
the fight on the floor for the admin
istration.
The Senate committee formally vot-
ed, 10 to T. to report virtually with
out change the bill as originally draft
ed by the general staff and approved
by the President and will present it
at once. The measure may be passed
by the Senate without waiting for &C

President May Appeal to People.

In the opinion Of the military advisers
of the government as well as admin
istration officials of the government

army be provided under the plans pre-
pared by the army experts after stu
dy of lessons from the war in Eu-
rope.
The President holds that every
weakness in the volunteer system
would be perpetuated under the House
committees scheme. A feature of the
amendments providing for the selec-
ton of officers from local units Is
regarded by officers as particularly
obnoxious to sound military principles.
They say the task Of providing COM
petent officers under this restriction
would be rendered 10 times more diff
ficult and the efficiency of the army
to be built greatly reduced from the
very start. The President thinks that
full opportunity for volunteers is Of
fered under the staff bill, since there
will be room for $4,000 voluntary en-
listments in the regular army and ma
tional guard for the duration of the
war.
