TO THE PUBLIC

In accordance with a plan adopted by the Parent-Teachers Association for the enlargement of the school lib rary an effort will be made during the next few days to carry that plan into effect.
 The plan is to ask all members of the community to furnish at least one book for the library. To facilitate choice in the matter a list of some two hundred boks that we should be pleased to have in our school library has been made from which books may be selected Any good book, however, not on this list and that is not now in the school library will be very ac- ceptable.
 You will be visited by some member of the committee in charge of this work within the next few days and be given an opportunity to make a sell ection as indicated above.
 Should you be visited by more than one member of the committee it will simply mean unavoidable duplication in the carrying out of the plan and not the intention on the part of the com mittee to solicit any person more than once
 We thank you in advance for your generous liberality in this very i'm portant matter.

FILES A CLAIM
FOR SUM $4,000
AGAINST WASP
INTERESTING CONTENTION is
STARTED IN THE FEDERAL
COURT IS AN Echo OF STORM
WHICH SWEPT GULF.

Libel for salvage for $4,000 was
filed in the federal court yesterday
afternoon by Joseph Scalese. against
the. American steamship Wasp which
was abandoned sixty miles off Pen
sacoia in the hurricane of September
% and was later towed into port
bottom up.
The hbellant recites that on Sep
tember % and 20 when the storm was
raging, that he was cook aboard the
fishing schooned sSea En- of Pensa-
cola, and that on hearing that there
was boat abandoned in the gulf,
he and the other members of the crew
decided to attempt to salvage the
craft.
An account EFF the action taken by
the "Sea Em' in the case is contained
in the libel, and states that on the
afternoon of October 1, the smack
sighted the wreck, and at the same
time saw the schooner Wallace Nc
Donald approaching the wreck. The
second schooner was hailed, and
came to assist in saving the vessel
In dory of the Wallace Mcdonald,
which was occupied by member of
the crew of the Mcdonald, and
member of the crew of the Sea EN-,
the men attached line to the wreck,
according to the libel, and left the
Wallace Mcdonald in charge of the
wreck and the Sea En- returned to
Pensacola to secure a tug boat. with
which to tow the wreck to port.
Arrangements were made by the
Sea En- with Frank f. Welles. ac-
cording to the libel to send a tug to
the wreck, and that on October 4th
the men who had come to port on
the Sea En-, returned to the scene of
the wreck. On reaching the Wasp,
libellant states that he found the Nc
Donald still tied to the wreck. but
that the steamship Nellie was at
tempting to take possession of the
boat 1t is further asserted that the
Nellie caused the hawsers holding the
Wasp, to be cut. and threw off the
lines which had been fastened to the
wreck by the crew of the Sea En- and
the Mcdonald.
The tug Echo, sent out by Mr..
Welles, arrived on the scene the next
day, but according to the libellant,
left Immediately for the port from
which it came, Mobile. After the
Echo left. it is stated that the Sea
King came up, threw a line over the
wreck. and with the Nellie towed the
Wasp to port.
Under the estimated valuation of
the boat and cargo, placed by the Ii
bellant at 1925 900 he claims $4,000
for his services.

REPAIR DAMAGE
TN JAIL WROUGHT
BY BLACKWELLS
WHILE MACHINISTS WERE AT
WORK, ONE OF PRISONERS
JOKED WITH THOSE IN PARTY
FROM HIS CELL.

Hachinists We're engaged at the
instance and by the authority of
County Commissioner Soderlind yes
terday to patch or weld up the bars
which were sawed on the morning of
the storm two weeks ago and through
which the Blackwell brothers made
their escape. The bars were ''made
as good as new" according to in
formation of the machinists, and 1t is
probable that they will never be saw
ed again, for extreme caution IS now
manifested in the conduct of the Jail.
While the welding was going on,
Will Blackwell, in cell few. yards
away, was much interested in the
work, and he jokingly requested of
Walter Roberts, engineer at the coun-
tv building, "the use of the light for
the night The lights in the jail
at night are very bad,' he said with
a smile. This remark was heard with
a laugh all around, for it was recog-
nized if Blackwell had use of the
torch for any length of time it would
mean another chase.
One of the Blackwells who was
painfully hurt when he dropped from
the window to the concrete sidewalk
below admitted yesterday that the
injury was extremely painful, and
that he started several times to re-
turn to the Jail and give up. He said
that he was in the hard weather for
h hurs, and not until he crawled into
the covered wagon was there chance
to rest.

WOULD SEIZE COAL
CARRIED BY RAILWAYS

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 12.-Mayors
throughout Ohio were preparing to-
day to seize coal to prevent suffer
ing, which is becoming widespread IN
their communities. Some already
have done so. With a big drop IN
temperature and the falling of snow
i many towns today, came indica-
tions that such drastic course on the
part of other mayors is imminent.
A number of mayors today called
state officials by telephone to ask if
it would he legal for them to confis-
cate coal from railroads. They We're
told no. Demands for coal poured in
on the governor, public utilities COM
mission and the state coal clearing
house-all telling a story OF suffer
ing.
Ohio state university officials re-
ported that unless coal can be obtain
ed for the university by late this aft
ernoon that institution probably
would be forced to close. With sew
enty patients in the university hospi-
tai which would be affected by the
fuel shortage, it was pointed out
that the situation is serious.
In number of small communities
light plants have been closed for sew
eral days because of lack of roal. Many
Ohio schools have been dismissed and
public utilities all over the state are
running on a very low supply of coal
and there are frequent suspensions
for few hours at time, reports to
the governor say.
State officials expressed themselves
as highly pleased with the reported
action of the federal coal admins
tration in ordering a sufficient supply
of coal for Ohio. They said the order
came just in time to stop wholesale
suffering.
