THREE L|bELS
ARE ON FILE
VIOLATION OF NAVIGATION
LAWS FOR SMALL CRAFT is
CHARGED BY THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY.

Three libeIs were filed by the dis
trict attorney in the federal court
yesterday alleging violation of the
navigation laws for small craft. The
first of the libels is against the mo-
tor boat Nautilus which it is
claimed is owned by J. D. Smith. do
ing business as j. D. Smith and COM
pany. 1t is alleged by the district
attorney that the boat operated with
out the required equipment for extin-
gushing gasoline fires. An unknown
launch, owned by the same company
is also ibelled on the same charge.
Two unknown boats owned by ]. u.
Gilbert and operated at Lynn Haven
are also libelled, the first for not
having the required fire-fighting
equipment, the second for operating
without the proper life-saving appa-
rat, and without signalling devices.

TWO GUILTY
OF PERJURY
MRS. ERIN SETTLES, AGED
WHITE WOMAN, SENT UP FOR
THREE YEARS. AND MELVIN
FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Crestview, Fla, Aug. 31-Mrs. Erin
Settles was tried today on the charge
of perjury The trial drew large
crowd and created considerable stir
The defendant was found guilty and
sentenced to three years in the state
prison. Her attorney, w. J. Rice, sued
out writ of error and was given 45
days to make and file bill of excep
tions The man Melvin, indicted at
the same time Mrs. Settles was, plead
guilty and was sentenced to eigh
teen months in the state prison. Thus
endteth two cases which are portion
of the aftermath of the trial of the
Blackwell brothers last July for the
murder of the aged Davis couple.
The Blackwell brothers were in
court today when an order of continu
ance was made in the case against
them which is yet untried. The con-
fessor, Boyd, was also here today, and
was used as witness in the case
against Mrs. Settles. The people of
this county had their first peep at
him, and he was the center of at
traction for the curious.
Circuit court adjourned for the
term this afternoon. The grand jury
finished its laNsors Yesterday, and ad-
journed without making several in
dictments which the public was ex-
pecting, and the promised sensation
was not sprung. 1t is possibly in the
incubator and may hatch next term.

ROAD COMMITTEE TO
MEET COMMISSIONER

In newspaper interview published
yesterday afternoon, County Commis-
sioner Candy denied that the citizens
committee for improvement of tA5
condition of the Barrancas road had
written him letter on the subject,
and questioned the veracity of F. c.
Brent, the chairman Of the committee
as to the amount of work done on
the road. He insists that the road
has been dragged after every rain,
excepting one afternoon.
Mr.. Brent declined to comment on
Mr.. Gandy's statement last night,
saying that he would make no state
ment until he has talked with the COM
missioner.
The committee announced that it
will call on Mr.. Candy today for dis
cussion of the matter.
Motorists who used the road yes
terday reported it in bad condition,
and stated that considerable work
would be necessary to place it in sat
isfactory shape, though some work
has been done on it.
Members of the committee said
last night that they were willing to
let the condition of the road speak
for itself ii substantiation of the re-
marks made by Mr.. Brent.

WAkULLA IN
DRY COLUMN
WHICH WAS HELD
YESTERDAY, WON BY ANTI
SALOON VOTERS BY MAJORITY
OF IS.
Tallahassee Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal

Tallahassee, Aug. 31.-With only a
few small precincts to hear from,
Wakulla county voted dry today in
the local option election by seventy
five votes majority, according to par
ties at Wakulla station, with whom
The Journal correspondent talked on
long distance telephone tonight
Wakulla was one of the "wet" coun-
ties of the state, without a saloon
within its borders, which had never
had occasion to vote against the legal
lied sale of intoxicants. Ltne<ty,
which voted dry few weeks ago, was
the other. A county is "wet" until
it is voted "dry" unless it be created
out of territory which has previously
voted "dry."
The fact that the Wells quart
month bill did not operate in these
two counties and shipments of liquor
into them were not limited, caused the
elections to be called.

TELEPHONE GIRLS
IN FEDERAL SERVICE

Several young ladies connected
with the local telephone exchange,
who stood a civil service examination
July 25 as telephone operators. are
in receipt of advices from Washing
ton that their papers have been
passed upon, and that each of them
have been given rating which ouali-
fies each of them for positions in the
service.
There are several positions as
telephone operators in and about
Fort Barrancas, and tbs will mean
the release of several enlisted men
who are now holding down those po-
sitiors. The salary connected with
the positions is 1924 per day, and the
ladies may be offered the positions
any day.
It has been an especial effort of
the department to fill all positions
they are capable of filling with wo-
men, and this c.uses the belief that
an early offer for the telephone girls
VIII be Forthcoming.

SALE
SEIZED. BOOZE
UNITED STATES MARSHAL'S Of
FICE WILL OFFER TO HIGH
EST BIDDER UANTITY OF CON.
FISCATED LIQUOR.

At high noon Monday, in accord
ance with the order OF Judge w. b.
Sheppard, the United States Marshal
will sell at public outcry on the steps
of the federal building 21 cases of
spaghetti, TIA cases of whiskey, and
a tank of whiskey and eight gallons,
each lot to be sold separately.
The spaghetti was seized and IL
belled by the district essnrney some
lIme ago on the charge of being i'm
properly labelled, in that it contained
less spaghetti than labels on the
package stated.
The 174 cases of whiskey wers
seized when it was discovered that
they were being shipp-d 20 Mont
gomery in a car billed as Shingles.
They also were hbelled and ordered
sold on the charge at being improp-
erly labelled.
The tank of whiskey and the eight
gallons in flasks were seized when
the famous overland "trunk" line was
discovered operating between Pensa-
cola and Montgomery. he whiskey

LOCAL BOARD
| To CALL 400
IN THE DRAFT 7
At a Meeting Held Last
Night Such Action Was
Decided Upon
BE EXAMINED
SEPT. 6, z AND 8.
Necessity For Second Call
Apparent When Total of
SO Were Exempted.

Four hundred more men win be
called in the selective draft in Es-
Gambia county to complete the quota
of 274 which this county must send.
according to a decision made last
night by the local exemption board
Notifications will be sent out imlne-
diately to the men to be examined on
September 6, z, and 8, divisions of
40 or more reporting each day. All
examinations will be conducted in the
office of DIR. Address, county physic-
ian, and member of the board !
The necessity of calling more men
was apparent when So were exempt
ed last Wednesday under the new
regulations issued by the Provost
Marshal General. In the first call
for $50 men, $50 were secured after
all exemptions had been passed upon.
board reversals were expected to
bring the total number to about two
whereas the county must
send 274.
With the exemptions under the
new ruling the total is further de-
creased, and it was decided to issue
the call before final action was taken
on any of the cases by the appeal
board.
No return has yet been made by
the appeal board in the cases which
have been certified to it from this
county, and it is doubtful that five
per cent of the first quota will be
able to leave on September S.
In giving the physical examinations
in the second call, the physicians will
be governed by different regulations
than in the first as light weight will
be less barrier than in the first call.
Flat foot is not disqualifying under
the new rules, and it is expected thai
a greater percentake Of men will be
netted in. this call than. in the other.

He Assumes Charge Today,
Leaving State Without
an Attoreny General.
NO SUCCESSOR TO
WEST YET NAMED
Governor Must Be In Talla-
hassee to Commission
One to Fill Vacancy.
Tallahassee Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 31.-After
midnight tonight, and until sometime
next Tuesday, Florida will be without
an attorney general. Judge Thomas
F. West this afternoon signed the
necessary oath before Secretary of
State H. Clay Crawford and became a
member of the supreme court of
Florida.
The governor cannot commission a
successor to Mr.. West as attorney
general without being in Tallahassee,
and it was announced by Private Sec
retary j. V. Burke this afternoon
that the governor would not return
to the capital till Monday night
If Mr.. Van Swearingen accepts the
position, as his friends here expect
he wiz, he will probably come to Tai
lahassee Immediately and establish
himself in the office to become FAM
liar with the work, etc, acting the
while as ex-officio attorney general.
No one here remembers when a
cabinet office has been vacant as long
as this one will be.
Judge West stated tonight that he
hoped the present office force, con-
sisting of Worth W. Trammell, Chas.
o. Andrews and the stenographers
would be retained, and that he would
do what he could to show the new
man that it would be to his interest
to do this, for the present at least.
because of their familiarity with the
routine work and detail of the office.
But the recent announcement of
Judge Chas. o. Andrews that he
would be a candidate in the next elec-
ton complicates this situation.
Judge West stated tonight that he
would move into the supreme court
building tomorrow morning and be-
gin acquainting himself with the
work. Although the court is ad-
journed at present, he believes he can
find something to do in his new Of
flee, he says. He goes on the pay
roll as a Justice of the supreme court
at midnight.
MAY HAVE TO RUN IN SPRING.
Although it was announced that
Mr. West was appointed for the un-
expired term of Judge Shackleford.
the Secretary of State refused to is
sue or sign a commission for beyond
the next general election. Judge
ShackleforGis term would not have
expired for nearly four years yet. So
the commission was written for
term tn expire January first nine
teen reS.seen Justices Taylor and
Ellis have stated that there Is p spec
ial provision in the constitution for
Judges to be appointed for unexpired
terms but that no other elective Of
ficers can be appointed beyond the
next succeeding general election.
Mr.. Crawford states that he has
dealt with three cases similar to this
since he has been secretary of state
and that he has never commissioned
a judge or any other elective officer
beyond the next succeeding election.
"If the court will order me from the
bench to write the commission for
four years I will do it," said Mr..
Crawford, "But the governor is not
here and / do not even know whether
he wants it written for four years or
not"
