dered by Mexicans.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Galveston, Texas. March 30.-W.
H. T. Buckingham, general manager
of the Aguila Oil Company, on the
Isthmus of Tehauntepec, and his
cashier, named Bannerman, were kill
ed by bandits at Manchital on March
8, according to information brought
here today by passengers arriving
from Mexico on a tank steamship.
/, Both men were British subjects. After
Buckingham had been killed, his body
was hacked to pieces with machetes
the reports say.
The passengers also report that a
reign of terror has prevailed for sew
eral weeks in the oil fields near Min
atitlan, and is said to be the result
of German influences. The oil fields
lie between territory occupied by Car
rama troops on one side and the
forces of Zapata on the other.
Buckingham and Bannerman were
killed following a demand by the ban
dts for $500 and their discovery
that the safe contained only $1,000
Buckingham had been in Mexico for
IS years.

Enrolment Expected
Today.

81 was with Dewey and am with
Wilson," read one Of the loyalty
pledges which came in Fridays mail
from a Pensacola patriot.
"One son in the navy; two at
home" wrote one mother of Foun-
tain, Fla. And under these lines
these words were added, poignant in
their message of loyalty and serv-
ice: eve are ready to do our part"
Over the flag on one pledge from
Bluff Springs was written;: "May
she ever wave over the land of free
dom, protector of our rights on land
and sea-"
evil offer my services for army
or national guard if necessary
wrote a prominent man of DeFuniak
who has long taken an active part in
the Boy Scout movement of that sec
ton.
Two of the pledges had been cut
in such way as to give the flags 9
free movement. One of these was
signed by man and his wife, the
other by his two daughters, and over
each was written, Long may she
wave" The home of these patriotic
Pensacolians, by the way, has showr
the American colors for months
over the doorway of the old-fashioneC
Southern home.
"Hurrah for Wilson, wrote one OF
the most staid of the business men OF
Pensacola across the face of his
pledge.
Many of the pledges which were
sent in had sheets of paper pasted be
low the attached pledge, and were
signed with more than a dozen names
The Journal would recommend this as
an excellent idea.
Many of tire pledges were signed
by husband and wife together, others

Case of Priests Request
Filed In -Four Courts

A temporary restraining order was
issued by Judge William B. Shep-
pard yesterday morning in the case
of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Co. VS.. Winifred Henderson, individ-
ually and as trustee for her daughter
Winifred Henderson, and Edward P.
Allen as executor of the estate of
Otto Dus, deceased, staying the pros
ecution of the case in the federal
court for the Northern District of
Alabama, at Birmingham.
The case was brought into the fed
eral court here on bills of interplead-
er filed by the insurance company in
an attempt to settle litigation which
arose over the life insurance policy
Of the dead priest.
Prior to that time, it is explained,
Mrs. Winifred Henderson had brought
suit for recovery of the value of the
policy in the circuit court of Escambia
county, while Bishop Allen, Of the
Mobile diocese, had filed suit in the
circuit court of Jefferson county,
Ala, for the recovery of the value
of the policy as executor of the es-
tate.
In order to settle the contesting
claims and to relieve itself of any
liability, the insurance company came
into the federal court here with bills
Of interpleader, requesting the court
to subpoena all the parties to the
suit to appear and settle the case and
to abide by the decision.
The case was set for trial in the
Jefferson county court on March IS,
while the interpleader was filed in

CLARK WOULD
RAISE TROOPS
Florida Congressman Wants
to Go to Front-Kehoe
in Naval Committee.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Washington, D. c., March 30
Congressman Walter Kehoe is MAX
ing strong effort to obtain a place
on the naval affairs committee and
is being assisted by the other Florida
congressman. He believes a place on
this committee would be of more ad-
vantage to Florida. particularly his
home town of Pensacola, than any
other assignments he could obtain.
Congressman Drane, the other new
Florida member, is making an effort,
with the aid of the other Florida
congressman, to get on the rivers
and harbors committee, to fill the
vacancy made by the death of Con-
gresham Sparkman, who was its
chairman.
All the Florida congressman were
present at the democratic caucus to-
day and will be on hand at opening
of congress Monday. Senator Fetch
er mas remained here since adjourn
ment, March 4. Senator Trammell is
expected to return Sunday.
Clark Would Raise Regiment.
Congressman Frank Clark, of Flor
ida, said today that in the event of
war with Germany, he will apply to
President Wilson for a commission to
raise regiment in Florida to go to
the front. 81 would not object to be-
ing in the ranks" said Clark, "but
believe I.would be of more service #
I could get a commission to raise a
regiment in Florida, and believe !
could get them. l served in the mi
litia before and believe l could handle
the job. Those Florida boys would
be just as good as anything they have
in Europe with little training"

any action was taken there. The
parties were summoned to appear be-
fore Judge Sheppard, and Mrs. Hen
derson dropped her case in the cir
cult court here.
Immediately after filing the inter
pleader in the federal court here, it
is stated that similar bills were filed
in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Alabama,
and several days later a motion was
made in the federal court here for
dismissal by the insurance company.
As the bill was filed in the court here
prior to the time Of filing in Alabama,
and all other process was stopped on
injunction of the court here, it is
pointed out that this court has iuris
diction.
The dispute arose as to who was
the beneficiary under the life insur-
ance policy for $1,000 held by the
deceased, and which Mrs. Henderson
and her daughter claim was assign
ed to them several years before the
death of the priest, the assignment
being accepted by the company.
Bishop Allen contends, as executor
of the estate, that bequest made
in the last will and testament signed
by the priest on his death bed, leav-
ing $500 to be expended on the
church at Pratt City, Alabama, and
in any other way which the bishop
approved. The clause in the will spe-
officially states that the money is to
be paid out of life insurance poll
cies which were enumerated, is the
contention.
Mrs. Henderson claims that the
money of the policy could not be be-
queathed to the bishop by the priest
because, it had been assigned to Win
fired Henderson, and therefore, was
not the property of the priest.

Washington, March 30-Both Dem

his avowed intention to bolt the party
caucus this afternoon, to fight the
Democratic organization plan and to
advocate appointment of Republicans

Means Of organizing the house was
the principal question before the
caucus.
A meeting Of the Republicans was
called for today also to draft recon-
mendations for organization, to be
presented to the Republican caucus
tomorrow. The progressive, bi-parti-
san temporary organization and anti
Mann factions had various conflict
ing proposals, but indications were
that the final decision would be to of
fer a full party ticket.

him recommendations for his princi.

way has heard the sentiment of the

BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, March 30.-The adj
ministration has determined definite
ly upon a course of action to meet
the hostility of Germany. Although
the official announcement is withheld
pending the presidents address to
congress, formal recognition of the
exigtance Of a state of war is ex-
peCted to come shortly after the ex-
ira session begins. This was indi-
Gated after the final cabinet meeting
today, where it is said there was no
difference Of opinion on the situation.
Officials believe that Germany is war
ring on the United States because she
has taken more than two hundred and
forty American lives on the high
seas.
They hold, also in German Amer
lean ships by wholesale, and have
caused millions Of dollars of damage
in the United States through plots
and attempted TO set on foot the
