SELLER
COT 6 MONTHS
SHIVARS GETS SIX MONTHS AND
HOLLAND TWO, FOR SELLING
BOOZE TO SAILORS-SMITH is
BOUND OVER.

Two defendants who had been con-
victed of selling liquor to sailors
while in the uniforms of the United
States navy, were arraigned before
Judge William B. Sheppard, in the
federal court yesterday, for SEN
tence.
The first of the two, J. NJ. Shivars,
who was convicted last Saturday, was
sentenced to serve six months in the
federal prison at Atlanta. Jessie
Holland, who was also convicted Sat
urday, was fined 500 and sentenced
to serve sixty days in the county Jail
of Escambia county. The difference
in the sentence was because Holland
simply procured the liquor and did
not sell for profit as Shivars did.
I. p. Smith had previously offer
ed plea of guilty, but his case was
permitted to go over for the term.
These are some of the first cases
Of their kind occurring in this coun-
try, and the first in this district. The
maximum sentence is one year and
a thousand dollars.
Another One.
An information was filed in the
federal court yesterday morning by
the United States district attorney
against NJ. H. Kerscher, alias Wig
giles Kutcher, charging him with the
sale of liquor to sailors of the United
States navy while in uniform, con-
trary to the provisions of the new
army act
This is the fourth case of this ma
ture to be brought by the federal au-
thorities within a week, three having
been taken before Judge Sheppard
last week. The case against Kerscher
was Investigated by the commission
er and bound over to the federal
court. It will come up at the next
regular term of the court.

marily for the needs of American

Frank Billings, of Chicago, head Of
the Red Cross commission of twenty
experts sent to Russia to study the
needs there. Never before in the his
tory of the world has such a fund for
the relief of human suffering been
raised by voluntary subscription in
such a short time, he said. No time
will be lost to accomplish results. Fl
is announced that plans for carrying
on the work on a broad scale where
ever needed are ready.
Stories of generosity which amazed
even the campaign directors reached
headquarters today. Wealthy men and
women gave millions and those of
smaller means subscribed to the limit
of their ability. Hundreds of cities
went far past the goal set for them.
Thousands of volunteers participated
in the work which was unique in
American history. Most gave their
services free.

FREE TELECRAPHY CLASS
OPENED FOR WOMEN

Arrangements have been made by
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany for City Electrician Len Lee
Baron to organize a class of young
women for instruction in telegraphy.
The company agrees to pay expenses
and classes have already been or
gained, rooms obtained and ready
for work.
Guarantee is made by the company
that each student will be given a po-
sition paying from fifty to one hun
bred dollars monthly, according to
the skill and knowledge of the OPP
orator.
Owing to the great demand by the
United States navy for radio opera
tors and the insistent call for expert
and AMATEUR operators, the teaching
of the women will permit the men to
serve, as at present the navy is very
careful not to take men needed in CT
