LAW ENFORCEMENT
LEAGUE MEET TODAY

At ten o'clock this morning a meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Law Enforcement league will be held
in the federal building for the pur-
pose of discussing suggestions made
by James H. Foster of the American
Social Hygiene association for the
suppression of vice and the sale of
liquor in Pensacola.
The matter was discussed informal
ly at a meeting of citizens in the city
hall Monday, and was then referred
to the league. Great interest is be-
ing taken in the movement by local
army and navy officers, as the enlist
ed men in both branches of the SER
vice. it is claimed, are exposed to con-
tamination which unless stopped, may
ultimately cause the removal of Athe
training camp.
As there is much discussion con-
cerning the advisability of entirely
closing the district the fullest con-
sideration will be given to all phases
of the matter before definite action
is taken.

DRAF 7 BOARD
HELD SESSION
MEMBERS ARE WORKING HARD
TO ASSIGN NUMBERS AND
FORWARD THEM 70 WASH
INGTON.

The total exemption board was in
session again yesterday in an effort
to clear up the work on the registra-
ton cards, assign the numbers and
forward them to Washington as soon
as possible,
The duplicates of the cards have al
ready been made, but they must be
compared with the original in every
case to insure against error. This and
the assignment of numbers requires
much care and attention and several
other meetings will probably be held
before the work is complete.
When the checking is complete lists
of the numbers and the correspond
ing names must be made up and post
ed for the inspection of the persons
who registered on June 5.

Refusal of Use of Armory
Places Problem Back to
It's Original Status.
BUILD TEMPORARY
STRUCTURE SOON
Old Heron House May Be
Remodeled for Use of the
Primary Grades.

When the Board of County Com
missioners refused to permit the use
of the Armory Hall for the High
School, the problem confronting the
school board resumed its original con-
dltlon, before the committee was ap-
pointed.
AS the time is growing short in
which provision can be made for the
school, other plans are now under
consideration. The committee which
was appointed by the board recon-
mends now that a temporary struc-
ture be erected at a cost of approxi-
mately $4,000, on the site formerly
occupied by the high school
AS part of this plan, it is urged
that the old Heron house at the cor
ner of Palafox and Jackson strets
be remodelled for the use of the pri-
mary grades which formerly occupied
the annex.
As the plan involves great expense
an alternate is suggested that the
Tabernacle at the corner of Spring
and Gregory streets be utilized as a
High School. To do this, it is claim
ed, that comparatively little altera-
ton would have to be made in the
building and that it would be much
less expensive than the other plan. A
special meeting of the board will be
held soon to decide the matter.
New Building Authorized
A new school building has been au-
thorized by the Board of Public in
struction for Nix, on the Big Bayou
as the one which has been in use
there has become inadequate for the
needs of the district. The new build
ing will have two rooms, and be mod
ern in every respect.
Contracts will be let and work
started so as to have the building
ready for occupancy at the beginning
of the school term.

tire county % per cent. This is the
opinion expressed by county attor-

matter was considered, so no at

G ounty Commissioners
Agree to Levy Half Mill
if Voters Desire.
ACT ON QUESTION
AT NEXT PRIMARY
Cattle Raisers Wanted One
Mill Tax, But This Was
Cut by Board.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Milton, July 10.-At a meeting of
the board of county commissioners,
which was held today, the board
heard the question of retaining or
abolishing the dipping vat in Santa
Rosa discussed from varying angles
and came to the conclusion that the
question would be put up to the peo-
pie themselves. Accordingly it was
resolved that an assessment of one
half mill for compulsory dipping pur-
poses be voted on, and an election,
making it possible for all to vote,
is made obligatory at the forthcom-
ing primary in June.
Should this question carry, it will
give the county quite a fund, which
will be devoted exclusively and solely
to the tick eradication process by vat
building and compulsory dipping, If
it does not carry, county support of
the movement will be withdrawn.
The commissioners were wide
awake to the issue, and before the
question had come up for final action
had quite agreed to afford relief and
encouragement to cattle raisers. The
cattlemen wanted one mill taxation
and the antis wanted nothing, hence
the board effected a satisfactory COM
promise in deciding to levy half mill
in case the question carries at the
next June primary.
Widest interest was manifested in
the board action and it was neces-
sary for the latter to move from the
commissioners room downstairs to
the court room, where the crowd soon
surged in to await developments.
The board decided to discontinue
farm demonstration work, at least
for the present. This work has been
in charge of J. C. Traxler, who has
been on the job for some time.

Well-Known Fishing Smack
Captain Expires After
Consuming Liquid.
AND THE
POLICE INVESTIGATE
Few Moments After Drink
ing Quantity of Pine Oil
Became Unconscious.

Captain Thomas Miner, for upward
OF twenty years operating fishing
schooners out of this port, last even
ing was reported unconscious on the
premises of Amanda Greenwall, 81
South Coyle street, and officer Barter
was called to, the scene. The officer,
realizing that Capt. Miner was in
need of medical attention, lost no
time in calling the patrol ambulance
and had the unconscious man convey
ed to the police station, He called
the wagon at $40 o'clock and after
the wagon reached the station. the
city physician was called to view and
prescribe for him. At 6:15 o'clock the
doctor saw and prescribed for HIM,
but at 7:20 o'clock a second call was
made for the doctor on account of
the apparent serious condition of the
man. The latter expired at 1882
o'clock.
The demise of the well-known fish
ing boat commander was surround
ed by such circumstances that an in
quiry was at once started, and it may
be carried further today, as The off
GERS were not quite convinced that
they should let the case go without
lnVeStlgatlon.
Drank Pine Oil
When officer Barter found the man
it was thought that it was a plain
case of intoxicatlon, and such infor-
nation was offered the officer. After
his death, however. when Turnkey
Commyns and Motorcycle Officer
Tarrants started investigating, they
found that quantity of pine oil had
been consumed by the unfortunate,
and that, ten minutes afterward,
when he walked from the home of
Emma Nelson, at 300 South Coyle
street, to the premises OF the other
woman at 81 South. Coyle street, he
was stretched out and resisted all eff
forts to arouse him. The half-emp-
tied bottle was procured by Officer
Commyns, and taken to the police
station.
Several friends and relatives. over
come at the shock of the death of
Capt. Miner, reached the station
shortly after they had been informed
of the bad news. One of them stated
that previous to his leaving home. he
had eaten one or two bananas. They
at once arranged for the funeral,
which will be conducted at o'clock
this afternoon from his late home, at
9 South Spring street. He is surviv-
ed by his mother, Mrs Malvina
Minar. one brother, Ashby; three sis
ters, Mrs, c. D. WAINWRIGHT, form
erly Miss Irene Miner; Mrs. R. l..
Weekly, formerly Miss Maggie Miner
and Miss Louise Miner.
A longtime member of the Star
of the Sea at Assembly, that organ
ization will attend the funeral in a
body this afternoon. He was one of
the best known of local smack skip
pers, and was engaged in local fish
ing business since boyhood.
There was such an air of unexpiain-
ed mystery about his death that police
and deputies were last night engag-
ed in a search and investigation, to
ascertain whether or not he had been
purposely furnished with some
poisonous draught.

Associated Press summary

Several villages captured and more

cess of the second days attack by
General Kerniloff in Eastern Galicia.
Already this branch of the Russian

launching of heavy counted attacks
even to slow up the rush of Korni-

The strategic position in this sec
ter is now already in favor of the
Russians. The long established Teu-
tonic line has been definitely broken
