FOR STATE PRINTING
(Special to The JournaD

Tallahassee, Oct 10--When the
board of state institutions opened the
bids for state printing it was found
that five cocers offered bids. Four
had personal representatives and it
was decided that a committee COM
posed of expert printers. chosen by
the individual bidding, should meet,
organize and tabulate the different
bids and ascertain who had made the
lowest and best bid and advise the
board as to the findings.
This committee is composed of F.
r. Mccormick, of Live Oak. selected
by |. ]. Appleyard: A. H. Roberts of
Tallahassee, by H. w Hill. who rep
resented Stovall of Tampa; Edward
Fitzgerald by Milton Smith: Bryan
Mack selected by Andre>~ Garter of
Arcadia; and Judge Tom Andrews who
was chosen by the board, since E. o.
Painter the other bidder had no per-
sonal representative here. This COM
mittee will meet tomorrow but it Is
thought that will take several
davs to complete the tabulation.
T. J. Appleyard put in the only COM
plete bid for all three classes of work,
class A. departmental reports and the

BELIEVES WAR
WILL BE OVER in
ABOUT { MONTHS
CONGRESSMAN KEHOE, JUST
BACK FROM NATIONAL
CAPITAL, SAYS SUCH
OPINION PREVAILS.

That there is we'll defined opinion
among official circles in Washington
that the war will be over within six
months was the statement made to
The Journal yesterday by Congress
man Walter Kehoe, who has just re-
turned home from the national cap
ital.
Mr.. Kehoe stated that many high
officials believe that during the neces-
sary cessation of hostilities in the
winter, that peace overtures will be
made by Germany which will lead ul-
timately to satisfactory negotiations.
Should this be the case, it is conf
GENTLY expected that there will be no
great spring drive when the snow be-
gins to melt, and the battle fields to
dry out.
This feeling continued the congress
man, is not the result of guess work,
but is based on fact, and an accom-
plisnment of the United States in the
prosecution of the war that is not
equalled by any of the belligerenant
governments.
During the six manths that have
elapsed since America declared war
on Germany, the stupendous opera
tions of this country IN preparing for
vigorous prosecution of the war, are
felt to have finally impressed our enc
mics with the weight OF Americas
influence. and a realization that when
the forces of the United States actu-
ally take the field, that the time will
not be far off when Germany will be
forced to surrender.
1t is argued, therefore, that while
suspension of activity is enforced
by weather conditions that negotia-
tions may be instituted which will
bring about the ends which this coun-
try seeks to attain.
In the meanwhile, Mr.. Kehoe said
that there would be no relaxation in
preparing for the final blow, and that
already the force is being felt. "One
of the most effective steps taken so
far by this country in waging the
war" Mr.. Kehoe said "was the placing
of an embargo on food shipments to
neutral countries. This to my mind,
was an overwhelming blow to Ger
many, and coupled with our great
aerial feet, our loans, army, and
preparations in general, it is not diff
ficult to see that our entry into the
war in having a tremendous effect on
the situation in Europe.

the honor, and the race bids fair to
be lively one.
Members of the various commit

local churches, and the committee has
requested all of the ministers of what

the fight America is waging in the
battle for Democracy.
Col. w. c. Davis, commanding
officer of the coast defenses at Pen

Detective Moore and Sheriff
Van Pelt Succeed in Run
ming Them Down.
CAUGHT IN CLARKE
COUNTY, ALABAMA
Were in Covered Wagon, the
Driver of Which Was
Also Placed in Jail.

information was received in Pensa-
cola early yesterday afternoon that
the Blackwells had been captured in
Clarke county, Ala, and that Sheriff
Jas. c. Van Pelt was ain" at the tax
ing of the desperate men. It did not
take many minutes before the news
was widespread, and some consider
aoie speculation was engaged In as to
how the brothers could have gotten
so far away. 1t was at Grove Hill.
Ala. it was stated, that the actual ar
rest was effected, and Sheriff Van
Pelt, Deputies John Van Pelt and
Bayless were the Pensacola officers
on the scene. Detective Moore, who
furnished the state with practically
all the evidence resulting in one of
the darkest of murders being proven
on the Blackwells, was also on the
scene, and he. il is reported, is return
INC with the party with the men.
They were expected to reach here
last night. and deputies remained at
the county Jail, expecting the crowd
ed automobile to show up with the
party.
Sheriff Sutton of Okalo..-a count,
who was also on the trail of the
Blackwells. is understood to have left
the party at or near Repton. Ala.
A tip that the Blaclzwe--s nad h1~-1
located was given Sheriff Van Pait
and Detective Moore Sunday niyht.
The latter went on a still hunt. it is
said. to verify the rumor that the
Blacilweils had recently been located,
and It was Monday night about 10
clock that a cryptic telegram was
received. urging Sheriff Van Pelt to
come. at once, without waiting for
AL IL.
accordingly and engaged a hien-pow-
cred automobile He left, accom-
panied by his brother and Deputy
Bayless. On the road, in the vicinity
of Molino, the auto suffered an acci-
dent and another car was engaged.
Hour after hour the trail lasted. and
early yesterday morning, or about 8
o'clock. the hunted men were captur-
ed. The men who assisted them in
getting out of Pensacola, it is said,
and who was driving a covered wagon
in which the two brothers lay hidden
away, is said to have been jailed BIZ
the sheriff of Clarke county, and it
was reported over the long distance
telephone last night that he is await
ing requisition. He will be charged,
when brought here, with assisting the
criminals to get away.
How the Blackwells succeeded in
getting out of the city, following their
sensational getaway while che storm
was at its height, few days ago,
will probably prove an interesting
story It was on the morning of Fri
day, September %, when the wind
howled about at the rate of 90 miles
or more, that the brothers, according
to best information obtainable, slid
down an improvised blanket and left
the county Jail building, since thet
time the shiriff has scarcely enjoy
ed a nights rest. He followed
every trail. every reported clue, with
out avail, but when the "healthy" clue
came to him few nights ago no

Entire Body Went Over
Gulf Beach Highway, Find

PAYS COMMITTEE
$4,000 FOR THE WORK
Storm Does Little Damage
to Boulevarde, 1t Was
Soon AScertained.

Accompanied by members OF the
Gulf Beach Highway committee, the
Board of County Commissioners made
an inspection trip over the road to the
gulf Yesterday afternoon, and upon
their return to the city, approved
and accepted the road, paying the
committee in charge of the work the
$4,000 authorized by the last legls-
lature for the work.
The party left the city early in the
afternoon in motor cars, and went
directly to the new boulevard. The
road was found to be in excellent
condition, having withstood the re-
cent storm with practically no dam
age. The surface of the road was
found to be as hard as pavement, and
several of the commissioners state
that it suffered less from the storm
than any other road in the county.
A few of the boards on bridges
along the route were loosened, but
will be repaired, and where trees were
blown down near the road, the COM
mittee will have them removed.
The road is constructed entirely
of blue mari, which is found in
abundance along the route. The down
pour of rain which accompanied the
hurricane seems to have succeeded
only in improving the road and max
ing the surface smoother.
The acceptance of the road by the
county brings to successful COM

deceptive curves, the Giants smashed
out two runs which spelled victory,

GERMAN NAVY PLOT
ANNOUNCED IN REICHSTAG

Copenhagen, Oct. 10.-1n announc-
to the reichstag yesterday that a
plot had been discovered in the
German navy to paralyze the fleet
Vice-Admiral Van Capelle, the minis
ter of marine is quoted in a Berlin
dispatch as saying:
Tt is unfortunately sad fact that
the Russian revolution turned the
heads of some persons in our navy
and introduced revolutionary ideas
among them. Their insensate plan
was to recruit representatives on all
ships to cause the crews to refuse
to obey orders, to paralyze the fleet
and force peace upon the country.
1T is proved that the principal
agitator in the movement was as
sociated with the reichstag, explain
ed his plans to deputies Haase and
Vogtherr and obtained their approval.

on the subsequent events which oc-

HEAVY RAINFALL
ENDS THE FIGHTING
Should Germans Retire, Will

on Belgian Coast.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY.

British troops in Flanders are
taking breathing spell while con-
solidating their gains of Tuesday
along the Ypres front. The French
likewise are busily engaged in or
ganizing their newly won positions.
A very heavy rain fell and no at
tempts at strong attacks were made
by either side.
The Germans have penetrated the
French lines along the right bank of
the Meuse.
Austrians suffered heavy casual
ties in attempts to gain territory In
the Carson plateau, while considerable
activity continues on the Riga front
in Russia.
Field Marshal Haig, with the help
of the French has struck anotner
successful blow in the Ypres salient
and the German tenancy Of the DOM
inant ridge east of Ypres is nearing
an end. The British yesterday cap
tured further sections of the ridge
in the direction of Basschandaele and
British guns now dominate that part

railway centres of Staden, Eoulers
and Menin and the railroad between

the Germans must bow before the
the superior power of the allies in
Flanders and retreat. Should the
Germans retire to the line of Bruges-
Thielt- -Courtrai-Lille, they would re-
linqIish their hold on the greater
part of the Belgian coast now used
them for submarine bases. Their re-
tirement to this line also would make
sharp salient north of Lille unless
they choose to give up that strong
hold and retire to Tournai.
Geran counter attacks came last
night after yesterdays advance in
Flanders but were launched only in
a limited area and without any sue
cess of moment, according to to-day's
official report from London. The
British gaines all along the line were
held except that in the sector north
east of Ypres, south of the railway
running to Staden, their advanced
troops on a 1000 yard front had to
retire a short distance.
The French were not disturbed in
the occupation of their new-won
ground in the vicinity of Houtholst
wood, the Germans undertaking only
patrol operations during the night.
The French, indeed, forged further
ahead, pressing eastward from the
village of Draeibank and occupying
Papegoet farm.

At recent meeting of the Board
Of Education permission was given
to the principal and certain mem
bers of the faculty of the high school
