RIOT GALL BRINGS
out WOW. GUARDS
DOUBLE QUICK TINE

Three taps on the city tower bell,
repeated several times, recognized
riot call, brought out the w. o. w.
Guards in double quick time last
night at 7:27 O'Clock, and eight COM
panies responded to the call. There
were possibly 125 men on duty, and
that part of the city bounded by Bel
mont street on the north, Alcaniz
street on the east, Reus on the west,
and the bay on the south, was under
guard for upward OF. two hours.
All the companies responded with
out loss of time, assembling at 16
South Palafox street, where they
were given orders by the corps COM
msnder, P. L. Rollo, and the captains
had their men on the assigned pre-
cincts for guard duty in short order.
After a sufficient time had been
allowed to pass, Commander Rollo ac-
companied by Major E. A. Guillott,
visited each section, and found the
companies patrolling in good shape.
This arrangement was performed
TO ascertain JUST noW lOnB IL WOAlu
require to police given section of
the city, and results were pleasing to
those who were behind the move.
Commander Rollo said last night
that the w. o. w. Home Guards
responded very satisfactorily. He
said that they were drilled up to a
point of surprising ability, and
while he never hoped that the occa-
sion should arise, he said that the
w. o. w. Guards would do their duty
if their services for actual defense
of the city and homes would ever be-
come necessary.
Following the patrol and guarding
of the prescribed area, the companies
met at the headquarters again and
were complimented by their COM
mander.

INTERESTING CASE
COMES To 4 CLOSE

An interesting case, the last on
the civil docket for this term, was
disposed of in the court of record
yesterday by the court ordering a
verdict in favor of the wife of the
defendant. She was Mrs. S. F. House
man, the owner of boat upon which
an execution had been sued, and
when it was conclusively shown that
the boat belonged to her, the directed
verdict was ordered and entered
This was the case wherein M. J.
Elkan & Company, local liquor firm,
levied on boat and endeavored to
hold the craft for securing an &C
count which Geo. w. Houseman &
Company, is said to have owed the
plaintiff.
In the course of the trial it de-
veloped that the firm named as de-
PENDANT, had engaged in the opera
ton of small vessel between this
city and points up Choctawatchie
Sound. Orders were brought by
operators of the boat to the plaintiff,
1t was figured that several thousand
dollars worth of liquor had been con-
veyed on the board on orders or con-
slgnments to the purchasers.

Alien Enemies Found Half
Mile from Palafoo Wharf
After June 1. Liable to. Arrest

All alien enemies of the United
States government will be affected
by the operation of proclamation
issued in Washington on April To-,
copies of which were received Tor
the United States marshaPs infor-
nation and enforcement yesterday.
1t is reproduced below for the mfor,
nation of the general public, and
particularly for the information Oh
those particularly interested.
By the operation of this procia-
nation alien enemies, which means
all unnaturalized German people, will
not be allowed to go nearer to Pala-
fox wharf on Palafox street than the
north side of Garden street. The
cutter Penrose, now in the class of
"armored vessels" has a berth near
the intersection of Cedar and Bay
len streets, and local federal Off
GERS are of the opinion that enemies
approaching nearer than the street
indicated will come within the pur-
view of the proclamation, and will
be subject to summary arrest and
punishment. Local officers have in
terested themselves to no small de-
gree in the prescribe darea feature
of the proclamation, and believe that
there will be no trouble in its en-
forcement here.
All alien enemies who might be
residing within the area as pre-
scribed, will be given unt1 June 1 to
vacate. After that date the appli-
cation of the statute will be made
sternly, and arrests are certain to
follow a disobedience of the procla-
nation.
The full announcement is as fol
lows:
Presidents Proclamation.
The following are the directions is
sued by the attorney general of the
United States for the enforcement of
the presidents proclamation of April
6, 1917, as to alien enemies:
Regulations Nos. / and 2 shall be
strictly enforced by the marshal, and
any alien enemy found with the for
hidden articles in his possession after
April "a, 1917, shall be at once ar
rested and detained, the articles shall
be seized, and the case reported to
the attorney general. Il the mar
shall, however, (after conference with
the special agent of the department
of justice, if there is one in the local
ity, and after approval of the United
States attorney, or assistant United
States attorney, shall be satisfied
that the alien enemy is not a danger
to the public peace or safety and
had no knowledge of the presidents
proclamation, he may refrain from
making arrest; or if the alien enemy
shall show good cause why tenn
porarily he should be permitted tc
retain such articles, the marshal
after similar conference and an-
proval, may permit such articles to
be retained, temporarily, under such
restrictions as he may deem neces-
sary.
Regulation No. a shall be enforced

To the Voters of Pensacola:

The Evening News, of yesterday, saw fit to
make serious, though vague charges against me-
charging intimidation and unethical conduct on
my part relative to the officers and patrolmen of
the police department
I am glad to have this matter thoroughly
aired, and had the threatened additional charges
been made, should have been equally as glad
of the opportunity of enlightening the public by
giving the whole truth and facts.
The appended affidavits from the turnkeys
disprove that part of the charge relating to them
The charge of intimidation of patrolman is too
vague to disprove There are forty patrolmen; to
affidavits froan them all is impossible in so
limited time. Produce his nant-the affidavits
will follow.
Why wait until the last minute to attack me?
] invited an investigation of the conduct of my
service as City Commissioner, and though the time
is short, stand ready to refute any malicious
charge, to gladly make frank statement of any
part of the affairs that are under criticism, and
shall do SO fearlessly and honestly.
Just give me a proper chance and a shadow
of time and I can convince the right-thinking
people of my ability, fitness and sincerity. L am
going to be fair and honest. Will the Evening
News meet me half way?

could appreciate the matter more
than those in the country because
women are frequently forced to work
in cities, and to manage their own
affairs. His further argument was
that it is democratic.
For women who hold property, said
the senator, it is taxation without
representation, for they cannot speak
to defend themselves.
In closing the debate short argu-
ments were made by Senators Corn
to, against the bill; Wells for submits
sion; Alexander for the bill; Davis

Oliver for the bill, and King against.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LISBON, April 20.-Sixty OF the sew
enty-six German merchant steamers
which We're in Portuguese ports when
Portugal entered the war and which
were promptly seized by the govern
ment, have been turned over to Great
Britain on a rental basis. England has
rented the ships for 100000 year, to
be paid after the war.
What will become of the ships after
the war, whether they will become the
permanent property of Portugal or
England or go back to Germany, is
much in doubt. But the prevailing idea
is that the ships will go into Portugal s
merchant marine, thus bringing it UP
to rather respectable proportions. The
renting of the ships to England has
caused a good deal of criticism, par
ticularly at this time, when the lack of
merchant ships is sending up the cost
of living and disturbing the whole
range of Portugals exports and i'm
ports

U-Boats and Embargo Hurt.

The submarine danger since February
l last has interfered seriously with
two of Portugals products. wine and
cork. and the English embargo on lux
uries has further hit the wine trade. as
England bought more wine from Portu-
gal than from France, Italy and Spain
together. Oporto, the great wine cen
ter, is feeling the chief effect of the
cutting off of wine shipments and the
depression is spreading throughout
the regions which produce the famous
ports and sherries. There were $780,
000, 900 gallons of these wines produced
last year, and a considerable part of
this huge product is locked up here, a
drug on the home market.

Coal Shortage Growing.

One of the most serious results from
the lack of shipping is the coal famine
gradually spreading over the country
and affecting all branches of industry
as well as domestic life. Ordinarily coal
costs about $3.50 a ton, but the price
now is S37 and $40 ton.
Despite the pinch on shipping. Por-
tugal had more foreign trade last year
than it had before the war. For Lis
bon alone the exports increased last
year $4,000, 900 over the previous year
and the imports increased 100000, 900
The trade with the United States was
particularly active, increasing about sc
per cent over the previous year. One
of the chief causes for this increase
was the call for American goods to
take the place of German goods now
shut out of the market
Portugal's island colonies are also
sharing in the shifting of trade away
from Germany and toward the United
States. Both Madeira and the Cape
Verde Islands about doubled their bust
ness with America last year. largely
because of the falling off of trade with
Germany.
