in the rest of the country. In Pensa-
cola a total rainfall of 3.69 inches
were recorded; in the entire United
States, according to the reporting
stations in the country, a total of BAT
inches were reported. Thus % of an
inch more than the country's rainfall
was felt here.
1t rained, too. In many parts of
the city streets were almost impassa-
bic, for the incessant rainfall caused
more water to race to the catch
basins than could be carried off, and
as a result water backed up to a
depth of more than a foot at some
points. On Jefferson street, south of
Main, an automobile put its axle IN

water, just a half a block south, was
almost eighteen inches deep.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, May 3.-At the re-
quest of Governor Cats q joint meet
ing of the temperance committees of
the house and senate, together with
representatives and senators from
the wet counties of the state, was held
this afternoon to consider tie advis-
ability of placing some amendments
to the Wells bone dry act which the
governor signed yesterday. Though
the conference lasted nearly two
hours, it was decided to leave the bill
IN its present state.
The intention of the governor was
to delay the operation Of the act for
a length of time sufficient to allow
the dealers to dispose of their stocks,
and it was in this opinion that he
held the bill for a day without deliv
ering it to the secretary of state.
The members of the conference were
advised that an amendment along
those lines was submitted in the
senate by Senator Jones, but was re
jeCted, so it was decided to leave the
bill as it is. Senator Jones, and Rep
resentatives Baggett and Johnson at
tended the conference.

To urge the passage Of the bill in
PRODUCED by s .nator Jones and Rep

preparation of twenty-five thousand
dollars for the agricultural school at
Gonzalez, making it a state school,
Messrs. Wilder and Seasons, of that
district, appeared before a joint
meeting of the senate committee on
education, and the house committee
on appropriations today. No action
has yet been taken on the bills, Sen
ator Jones, and Escambia's represent
atives also went before the commit
tee.
Though the debate lasted for sew
eral hours, the house refused to pass
! the Joint resolution by Mr.. Stockton
of Duval, proposing an amendment to

county taxes. The bill had been re
ported unanimously adverse to the
committee and when the chairman
moved to indefinitely postpone, the
