Auto Made Regular Trips to
Alabama Capital-Ar-
rest Near Cantonment.
OTHER ARRESTS
ARE EXPECTED
Whiskey Cunningly Con-
cealed in Drummer's
Trunk.

Dallas Pugh. Colored, driving a Cole
b-cyllnder car, was arrested near
Cantonment last evening by Deputy
Sheriff Bowman, who was accom-
panied by Deputy {. N. Ray, charged
with violating the B1I1 dry law by
transporting liquor into a dry pre-
clnct. Pugh, with the car. and the
two deputies, arrived here at 8:45
o'clock, and he was locked up at the
county Jail
There has probably never been
adopted a more shrewd attempt to
violate the liquor statutes, for what
appeared to be a drummer's sample
trunk in the rear of the car, when
the deputies started investigating,
yielded surprising developments
Just under the lid of the trunk was
the usual tray. while under that was
found a copper tank filled with prob
ably fifty gallons of liquor in bulk
Ranged about the trunk in other
receptacles were routed out about
fifty to sixty bottles of liquor. the
whiskey bearing no label Searching
further the deputies found a revolver
in the car, and it was believed that
TINS was the property of some other
person who has not yet been cap
/ tured, although the officers searched
for him in the city last night.
Arriving at the county jail, it re
quired the combined stTH~gth of four
husky negro prisoners to carry the
Gquor-laden trunk from the auto to
the jail building.
Sheriff Van PeIt. arriving shortly
after the confiscated LIQUOR and negro
had reached the jail. ordered that the
whis<ey be placed in safe place on
the third floor, and thus the stock
which has been growing all the time,
was swelled considerably
The negro arrested TT first de-
chned to talk about the case, but
after recovering himself, stated that
this was his second trip to Pensacola
from Montgomery. and that he left
mere about > o'clock Yesterday after
noon, expecting to reach Montgomery
/ bv daylight. He stated that he ex-
pected to have been met there by
another car and the liquor taken into
the city. Whom it belonged to, he
claimed not to know, but ne gave
the name of a man who claims had
him employed.
The deputies statzd that they were
attracted by the suspicious actions of
the negro, when the latter saw them
and apparently thought they were too
inquisitive. Then, it is said, he
; started to continue his journey when
the officers stopped him and took
him in charge. Then they returned
to the city, bringing negro, whiskey,
pistol and AUTOMOBILE Tie auto was
| driven into the courtyard of the jail
after it had been unloadcd, and the
gates were locked for the night.
There is a question in the minds of

not legally confscate the car, and

mitted to attorneys by the sheriff to-

Washington Bureau.
Washington, July 17.-Senator
Fletcher held a long conference with
the president today to express disap-
pointment of the people of Florida
that none of the army camps was
located at Black Point or any other
point in the state, and their hope that
Florida would be awarded some rec
ognition in other government activ-
tiles.
President Wilson said that the army
camps were located purely on mill
tary reasons with no thought of
favoring any locality and assured
Senator Fletcher that if there is any
thing else to be awarded by the gov
eminent, Florida will be we'll treated
if it is possible but didn't indicate
that, there was anything else in sight
to be given out.
Senator Fletcher pointed out that
Florida ports are bringing in good
revenue to the government and that
the government is making none of the
war expenditure in the state such as
are being made in other states.

Associated Press Summary

The Russian armies are continu-
ing their vigorous offensive in East
ern Galicia and other groups of the
empires vast forces are apparently
ready to spring into activity at va
rious points along the 800 mile front
Everything appears to be running
smoothly with the military machine,
or at least it seems in far more eff
fective shape and even rosiest fore
casts Indicated. Meanwhile Russian
governmental affairs, which appeared
to have been going we'll for some
time past, are again ruffled with a
cabinet disagreement.
Four ministers, including Finance
Minister Shingaroff have resigned be-
cause of objections to the policy de-
clded upon by the other ministers re
garding affairs in the Ukraine which,
like Finland, has desires for an indie
pendent government A meeting of
the council of ministers has been
called to solve the crisis and it is
hoped the designations will be with
drawn.
CONFIDENTLY come reports of dis.
orders in Petrograd instigated by the
radical faction of the Social Demo-
cratic party as a demonstration
against the government. Rival par
ties of demonstrators appear to have
fired on each other during a panic
brought about by a few stray shots
and a number of persons were killed
or wounded. Quiet was soon re
stored.
Notwithstanding the change in the
German chancellorship and before
any declaration of policy has been
made by the new occupant of the
post, DR., George Michaeis, the reich.
stag revolt against existing condi,
tons appears to be unchecked. The
majority in favor of a declaration OF
peace terms, it is declared, will pre-
sent their resolution on Thursday, the
day the new chancellor is scheduled
to speak, and will demand that hi
accept the declaration in principle be
fore they agree to cooperate will
him.
The early days of the war whel
German shipping was being combet

effected in the North sea. None o
the quartette was a large vessel, tn
average of the four being about 1,30

FOUR ENEMY
SUNK
BRITISH ADMIRALTY REPORTS
QUITE A FLEET OF GERMAN
STEAMERS SENT DOWN IN THE
NORTH SEA.
BY ASSOCIATED PREss.


London. July 1.-THE admiralty an
nounces the capture of four German
steamers by British destroyers in the
North sea.
The steamers are the Pellworm.
Breitzeig, Marie Horn and Heinz
Blumberg.
The captured steamers are all
small, the largest being the Breitzeig,
of 1,495 tons gross, owned in Ham
burg. The Pellworm, 1850 tons gross,
also was owned in Hamburg. The
Marie Horn, 1888 TONS, is from
Schleswig and the Heinz Blumberg,
1926, is registered from Hamburg.
Two other German steamers were
with the four vessels later captured
when the group was signalled by the
British war craft. All six made for
the Dutch coast and two of them
reached the shore. These two were
badly damaged by gun fire.
A Reuter- dispatch from Ymuiden,
says four German ships have been
sunk by British destroyers in the
North sea, four captured, three
stranded and three forced to return
to Rotterdam.
Since Saturday, seventeen German
steamers have sailed from Rotterdam,
three at one time and fourteen at an
other, the dispatch says. Of the first
group, one, the the Blumenthal, 1856
tons gross, was wrecked off Zand-
WORT. Of the second group, owing to
the action of British destroyers, not
one vessel was able to proceed, eight
being captured or sunk and three sue
ceeding in putting back to Rotterdam
Of the three remaining steamships
which were stranded, two were afire

bond issue The bridges Will be paid
for through bond issue provided IN

One Of these bridges viii he across
Bayou Chico on the PensaCola-Ba
ranCas road, another across BAYOU
IeXar, on the road leading to Gull
Point, EsCambia and to the ferry
across Escambia bay.
The board will also build with the
money derived from these time war
rants two other bridges of concrete,
one across Pine Barren creek on the
Observation-Disclosures hard road, and
another across Eleven Mile creek, on
the Pensacola, Beulah and Nunez
Ferry hard road
Under the law which authorizes
the county commissioners to issue
time warrants to raise the money
for building permanent bridges, it Is
provided that the City Commissioners
may authorize the Board of County
Commissioners to use all. or any
part of its share of the taxes, when
! the city under the law is entitled to
derive from the taxes within the cor
porate limits of the city.
1t is considered probable that the
City Commissioners will, by proper
resolution authorize the Board of
County Commissioners to use the
cIty'S part of the taxes derived under
. this act, which is TO be applied to
the building of these bridges. The
city of course viii derive much bene-
fit from the construction of these
two permanent causeways.
1t is estimated that the cost of two
bayou bridges would be in the neigh
borhood of thirty-fve thousand dol
lars. Being constructed Of rein
forced concrete they will last for
many years
The decision of the board to build
the bridges by the issuance of time
warrants was made yesterday after
noon, after the city commissioners in
joint meeting with the county board
had refused to waive its share Of the
I y
While the county board was in SEES
sion during the afternoon, and it had
been decided to abandon any attempt
to issue the warrants, Thomas 4.
Johnson. clerk Of the board, on read
inE the bill discovered that it simply
provided that the surplus remaining
IN the fund, after the annual payment
of principal and interest on the bonds
! had been made, was to be divided
with the city, and not the total
amount of the issue as was thought
at first.
BY this construction of the act, It
/ is contended that the county has the
authority to issue the warrants and
to levy enough tax to pay the prin-
cipal and the interest each year. and
therefore there would be no surplus,
and consequently no division with
( the city.
Acting on the belief, after County
Attorney Reese had made a decision
on the law, the board included a levy
of 9-16 Of a mill in the budget to
retire the bonds each year, and pay
the interest. leaving no surplus in
the fund whatever.

OIL AND TIDES.

1t is reported that the production
of the oil fields bordering the gulf
coast and even of the wells them
selves, varies with the flow and ebb
of the tides. Certain members Of the
oil fraternity with an investigative
turn of mind studied that matter
until their conclusion was that in a
wav the ocean is connected with the
wells and influences their produc-
ton. A recent heavy offshore wind
drove the waters back so that the
normal low water line was high and
dry, and at the same time the pro-
duction of the oil and gas wells fell
off appreciably, those nearest the gulf
being most affected.
