MYSTERY OF THE SEA
IN DISAPPEARANCE OF
SCHOONER ''GALATEA"
RECORDS BROKEN WHEN
CAPT. EVANS LOOPS THE
LOOP in HYDROAIRPLANE

Looping the Loop at a height
of few hundred feet and safely
regaining the equilibrium of the
amchine, was the record break
ing feat of Captain Francis t.
Evans, of the marine corps, yes
terday afternoon.
Though the remarkable per-
Torrance has been done with
land machines, it has never, ac-
cording to authorities here, been
accomplished with q hydroaero-
plane.
Other officers Of the station
have attempted to loop-the- loop
but were unsuccessful, and it was
commonly believed that it was
impossible to do so with a water
machine of the present models,
as the great weight of the pom
toOns make it much more diff
cult than the light wire wheels
of the regular land machine.
The performances was wit
messed by many working in the
yard, and while it was unex-
peeted, loud Apeer went up for
the successful aviator.
1t is understood that Captain
Evans made use of an entirely
different method of attempt
ing a somersault than had been
used before. On previous flights
the machine had been tilted to
a great angle to gain sufficient
momentum, with which to turn
upside down.
The difficulty has always
been, 1t is stated, in r4ghting
the machine for the upward
glide, because of the poutOon.
Captain Evans however, made
a more gradual slant, and then
before staring upward, rushed
along on the level until the ma
chine was completely under con
troll. then pointing her nose
straight up, completed the loop.
The machine used was a Curtiss
tractor.

TELLS
Of
TRADE CHANCE
E. E. Judd Shows How the
Commerce Department
Aids Exporters
DEVELOPING
INDUSTRIES
Credits, Laws, Customs and
Needs of Foreign Coun-
tries Speciality

e. z. Judd, commercial agent of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, United States Depart
ment of Commerce, addressed the
Rotary Club, members of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and several busi-
ness men of the city Thursday aft
ernoon at the Chamber of Commerce
explaining the services that his bu-
reau was prepared to render business
men, exporters and manufacturers.
He stated that the scope of the Bu-
reau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce was an exceedingly broad one
and that it would be difficult in any
short length of time to make anyone
understand its great possibilities.
He said in substance:
The purpose of this national bureau
is to develop the various manufac-
turing industries of the United States
and markets for their products at
home and abroad, by gathering and
publishing useful information, or by
any other available method. The bu-
reau is clearing house for CONNER
cial information of all kinds, and has
a well-organized and efficient sys-
tenn for its collection and distribution.
1t has branch offices in New York,
Chicago, New Orleans, San Fran
cisco. Seattle, Boston, Atlanta, and
st. louis through which it disseIai-
mates trade information and keeps IN
touch with the commercial interests
OF the country. Each of these of
fees are assigned a certain district
that they are to serve.
Florida is in the district of the
New Orleans office. The New Orleans
office, therefore. is at the service of
anyone in the state wishing CONNER
cial information of any kind.
The Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce exists solely to serve
and assist the business men, and has
the same relation to business men as
the Department of Agriculture has to
farmers. In each branch office there
is a large library and reference file,
and the office is able to supply sta
tistics in regard to foreign markets,
the rules governing the shipment of
samples, information concerning the
credit methods in vogue in foreign
countries, patent and trade mark
laws and everything, in fact, that
affects foreign markets for our goods.
Mr.. Judd, in behalf of his bureau
and the department of commerce, in
vites the business men of Pensacola
and of Florida to make his district
office in New Orleans part of their
office and to consult with that office
about any matter whatsoever that
relates to foreign and domestic com
merce.
The services rendered by this bu.
reau is, of course, like that rendered
by the Department of Agriculture
free for the asking.
Mr.. Judd left Tuesday night fcl
Mobile, and will be back to his offic;
! in New Orleans by the last of tbs
week. He expressed regret that h
could not stay longer in Pensacola

ing.
Speaking about the sale, Mayor
Hinrichs was jubilant, declaring the

or possibly 500.
More than hundred people at
tended the sale, which was held at
noon Tuesday in front of the city
hall. The auction was conducted by
City License Inspector Frank K. Car
roll, he having substituted for Hack
Riera at the last moment.
The reason for Hacks withdrawal
is not given. but it is possible that he
could not forget auld acquaintance,
and sell Frank, the old horse which
he had driven for so long, before
the days of the bright red automobile.
Bidding was spirited throughout.
and the sale occupied thrae-quarters
of an hour.

CARO- CASE HAS
SEVERAL THRILLS

Ed Caro-. while being tried before
the justice of the peace Tuesday
morning lost his temper with q
woman who was giving evidence
against him, and it took several of
fcers to control him.
Several weeks ago, it is said. Caro-
shot Officer Harper, who approached
him to serve warrant. The officer
was very seriously injured, and was
under treatment at the Pensacola
hospital for over two months.
Caro- said Josie Cobb, the woman
who was giving evidence against him,
was telling lies and charged her with
libel in very strong language. He
then made the demonstration.

Cabinet Favors Furnishing
Guns To Merchant
Vessels
SUBMARINE PERIL
MUCH OVERRATED
Afric Sunk BY Sub-U-Boat
Sunk By Merchant
Ship Oxonian
RY AssocrArEb PaEss.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The inquiry
concerning the re-detention OF Amer
lean seamen carried to Germany on
the prize ship Yarrowdale, was dis
patched to Berli1 by the United
States today preliminary to more
vigorous action, unless the men are
promptly released.
The plight of the Yarrowdale
sailors occupied much time of the
cabinet meeting today, which had
been given over to a discussion of
the submarine situation. 1t was
agreed their liberty should again be
demanded most emphatically.
The question of furnishing guns to
arm American ships was discussed,
but it was stated officially that no
decision was reached, thought it is
understood most of the cabinet favor
ed furnishing guns. The president
viii decide.
There were strong indications dur
ing the day that severance of re.
lations with other central powers
would be extended.
It develops that no message has
been received by the state depart
ment since the break with Germany
from Ambassador Elkus in Constan-
tinople, or Consul General Murphy,
Of Sofia, who cares for American IN
terests throughout Bulgaria.
Some senators believe that the
passage of Senator Saulsbury's bill,
introduced today, for opening the
ports, harbors and territorial waters
of the United States to allied war
ships and vessels as in peace times,
would amount to a violation of neu-
trality, result in making the United
States virtually an ally of Germany's
enemies, and force Germany into a
declaration of war. Chairman Stone,
of the foreign relations committee,
Is against the measure. In some
quarters, however, it is suggested the
bill might form the basis of the next
step of the United States.
Speaker Clark intimated during the
day that he didn't believe there would
be war with Germany or an extra
session of congress.

Fish Co.'S. Schooner
Var1ishes From Berth
Off Warrington
ASHORE;
FULLY EQUIPPED
Government Officials Think
She May Be Used For
Illicit Purposes

What has happened 10 the auxiliary
schooner Galatea, which disappeared
from her anchorage of Warrington
some time Sunday night before IL
O'clock?
She belongs to the Warren Fish
Company snh was equipped and pro-
visioned for the sea, being scheduled
TO sail for the fishing grounds at the
hour named, but when the crew ap-
peared, she was no where to be seen.
A Narrow Shave.
The crew had come ashore earlier
in the evening, not leaving watch
man aboard; but If the solution is
what it appears to be, it was good
thing for him that he was not,
The Plot Thickens.
The boat could hardly have foun-
dered without her sticks showings
and had she been run down by some
other craft, some wgreckage would
have been left to tel the tale, and
the crew of the other vessel would
most certainly have spread the news
by now Had she simply fetched
loose, she would hardly have drffted
TO sea, for it was not until later in
the night that breeze and tide were
off shore, and had she been drifting
around in the harbor she would have
been visible in the bright moonlight.
The police of various nearby ports
have been notified, but SO far have
not discovered her, and both the navy
yard and the forts declare fhat there
are no deserters, so that motive Of a
getaway is thrown into the discard.
If Stolen, W1y7
Another matter disquieting to gov
eminent officials is that the Galatea,
being easily handled, speedy, staunch,
and equipped with engine besides
sells, is especially adapted to Illicit
activities of every sort, whether
Chinese smuggling, smuggling, gun
running or filibustcring-
Contrabsnd?
VIII she be used to run guns into
Cuba to supply the revolutionists?
Win she carry arms to Mexico? VIII
she smuggie Chinese into the United
States from the West Indies, etc
viii she go into the contraband bust
ness, or filibustering?
These are the questions that are
perplexing government officials, and
it is as pretty maritime mystery as
has yet been laid out. What will the
answer be?
The Dimensions.
The Galatea is a 12-ton auxiliary
schooner, built in 1912; dimensions.
417x124; draft about feet.

WHERE THE FRAUD IS

The ex-Delegate to Cong in statement at Ketchikan said that he believed Congress would seat Delegate Sulzer and give the place to him be- cause he said Congressman would be too oir to stand for fraud.
 The former Delegate stated his in great deal stronger and persuasive language to the sub committee of the Senate Judiciary committee and told by Senators Walsh and Colt Democrat and Republican, that he was wrong.
 Congressmen know that to seat Judge Wicker sham would be equivalent to deciding that the Aus tralian ballot law in Alaska is void. They will derstand the Delegate boasted in his ad- dress to the Senate Judiciary subcommittee that he had purposely written the Organic Act that the Legislature could not give any sort of ballot or provided for any sort of ballot the voter the who lead the voter to the polls would make desire use-a ballot that invited bribery, coercion and poli tical trickery ballot that discarded decades wherever civilized and women have elections, ballot that jimmy in the hands of the Tweeds Buckleys. Hggnses and Clancys, ballot that was the joy of bribe-givers and bribetakers
 The boast of Wickersham that he had with purpose attempted to prevent the Alaska Legislature from hay ing power to give Aaskans Australian ballot law other election reform tells plainly than any thing else in the world where lies fraud in Alaska politics.
