CONDITIONAL
PARDONS ISSUED
TO WOMEN HERE
FEMALES NOW IN COUNTY JAIL
MUST LEAD PROPER LIVES IN
FUTURE IF THEY STAY IN
CITY.
Tallahassee Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 17.-Condi-
tional pardons were issued today for
the women held in the Escambia coun-
ty Jail since the recent raid on the
Pensacola restricted district. The
women are paroled with the under
standing that they lead proper lives
in future.
There has been much interest in
Pensacola concerning these pardons,
as the Ministerial Alliance of that
city opposed the granting of Glenn
ency to the women unless conditioned
upon their leaving the state. But
the pardon board did not look with
favor upon that proposition.
Percy S. Hayes took the pardons
back with him when he left here at
1:55 p. m. today, having come 20 the
capital for that purpose.

WILL DISCUSS
PLANS FOR WAR
LIBRARY TODAY
MEETING OF WOMEN OF THE
CITY WILL BE HELD IN THE
SAN CARLOS HOTEL THIS
MORNING.

This morning at eleven o'clock in
the San Carlos hotel, a meeting of
women of Pensacola will be held to
decide upon plans for raising Pensa-
colas share of the national war Ii
brary fund, which will supply books
to the soldiers and sailors in the va
rlous training camps, and in the field
abroad. The meeting was called by
State Senator John B. Jones, member
of the Florida Council from this dis
trict, and all who are interested in
the work are invited to attend.
That there is a great need for the
books is shown in the reports from
the camps. and from the men in the
trenches. Owing to the great amount
of detail, and large costs, it is impos-
sible for the government to supply the
books, though the War Library Coun-
Gil is an official organization appoint
ed by Secretary Baker.
Other nations at war, realizing the
value of the libraries Immediately or
ganized committees for doing the
work which now falls on the War Lii
Drary Council. Books are not want
ed, but money, to start the libraries
and form nucleus around which the
donated books may be placed after
they are cataIogued and properly ar
ranged.
A survey of the entire field has de-
termined that S1.00 will furnish
book, keep it in circulation, replace it
when worn out, and all the time pay
share of the expense of properly
housing and caring for these Ii
braries in the various camps.
One dollar apiece from the stay-at-
homes will give to those who are
fighting some of the pleasures they
crave, relieve the pang of homesick-
ness and lineliness and keep them in
touch with the life they have vacateu.
The field to be covered by these
libraries includes service for recruits,
for men in training, for men being
modified, for men in garrisons, for
men in their rest periods while on
the march, and even for the men at
the front. The libraries will serve
the crippled and manned men re-
turned from service, wounded sol
diers, interned groups, and prisoners
of war, men awaiting the muster-out,
sailors on shipboard, and sailors at
the various naval training stations.
Not a man in any branch of the SER
vice will be neglected.

ARE CHARGED
WITH TREASON
German Language News
papermen Held Under
$4,000 Bail.
BOTH ARE NOW
UNDER INDICTMENT
Charge of Treason is Not
Bailable Except at Dis
cretion of Trial Judge.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Philadelphia, Sept. 17.-Charged
with treason, Louis Werner, chief
editor of the Philadelphia Tageblatt
a German language newspaper and
DIR. Martin Darkow, managing editor
were today held in $4,000 additional
bail for trial. They are already un-
der bail on the charge of violation OF
the espionage law. In deciding to
admit them to bail, Judge L4ckinson
of the federal court said every one
realized the gravity of the charges,
but that the reasonable acts charged
in the indictment were such as to en-
title the defendants to bail. They
were indicted last Saturday.
The charge of treason is not bail
able except at the discretion of the
court.
Both men waived the service of
bench warrants today and United
States District Attorney Kane asked,
but did not urge, that they be held
without bail. Counsel for the defen-
dants opposed the request and said he
felt that the $4,000 bail under which
the men were held last week on
charges of violating the espionage
act was sufficient.
To show the character of the men
so charged counsel pointed to Werner
as a man whose two brother sought
through the civil war and who had
two cousins buried at Gettysburg. DR..
Darkow, it was brought by the dis
trict attorney, applied for citizenship
in 1894 but never followed up the ap-
plication.
The court took the request to hold
the men without bail under advise
ment.
