NEAR CLASH Of

ONLY PRESENCE OF TROOPS
BELIEVED TO HAVE KEPT
DOWN SERIOUS TROUBLE Be
TWEEN FACTIONS.

Flat River, No. July 15.-The
presence of missouri national guards
men in the lead belt in the vicinity
of this place did not prevent a CON
tinuous exodus Of foreign-born min
ers who, since Friday, have been
driven out of the district by Ameri-
can miners, and It is estimated more
than 1000 foreigners have left the
district
There was an unsuccessful attempt
to bring about a conference between
the foreigners and American miners
so as to conserve labor at mines
That question is to be decided by Of
ficials of the companies at New
York.
Reports of pillaging are continued
and several have been arrested. It
is feared with withdrawal Of troops
it may mean atother outbreak against
foreigners. 1t is expected q special
session of the gran djury will be call
ed to investigate the outbreaks.

GERMAN SHIPS READY
FOR AMERICAN SERVICE

1t is now the U. S. S. Quincy. and
not the German steamer Vogesen.
The former German steamship which,
in two more weeks. shall have Been
in Pensacola harbor for three years,
has changed not only her appearance
and her nationality, but also her
name, for painters have painted over
the Vogesen, and it is now the name
as given above.
The companion ship-in-trouble of
the Vogesen, which was the Rudolf
Blumberg, but which now proudly
sports the name of the u. S. S. Beau
fort, is reported about ready for ser
vice. Trial runs have been made, and
the engine works finely, it is re-
ported.
The U. S. S. Quincy is expected to
be ready for the call and use of the
government in couple of weeks.

HIGH SCHOOL.
PLANS BEFORE
BOARDTON|GHT.
Problem of Housing High
School Has Not Yet
Been Solved.
NEW STRUCTURE
WOULD COST $4,000
Possibility of Remodeling
Tabernacle Will Also
Be Discussed.

A special meeting of the board If
public instruction will be held il the
office of the superintendent tonight
at six o'clock to make some decision
for housing the high school next
year. After the report of the board
of county commissioners was deliv-
cred to the board last.week, a recon-
was adopted to build a
temporary structure costing $4,000.
Another plan was then considered,
and for the possibility of using the
tabernacle, the decision was postpon-
ed last night. By using the taber-
nacle, it is believed that adequate
quarters may be secured at less cost
than by building a temporary struc-
ture, and that the work may be COM
pleted in time for the opening of
school.
This latter factor enters into the
discussion of the matter to a great
extent as the school opening was de
layed last year by making some re-
pairs on school No. 1. BY dividing
the tabernacle into sixteen rooms,
eight on each side, with large study
hall lighted by skylights in the cen
ter.

PORTO RICANS VOTE
AS AMERICANS TODAY

San Juan, Porto Rico, July ID
Residents of Porto Rico, in the GEN.
eral election July 10th, vote for the
first time as American citizens. to
elect the members of the first cleo
tive senate to take the place of the
executive council and on the adoption
or rejection of prohibition amend
ment. The liquor question virtually
is the only one that has caused any
unusual discussion during the cam
paign as this issue overshadowed all
others. Under the term of the Jones
act passed by the United States con-
gress, the whole island will become
dry on March End, 1918, unless a ma
pority of the voters at this election
vote for license.
The lower branch of the legisla-
tive assembly has been elective for
many years. Under the Jones act
its membership is increased from
thirty-five to thirty-nine.
The executive council, which has
been in existence since the establish,
ment of civil government under the
Foraker act in 1901. will be replaced
by senate composed of nineteen
members, consisting of two from each
of seven senatorial districts and five
from the island at large. Election
of a senate will make the island al
most self-governing.
There has been little issue between
the unionist and republican parties
since the passage of the Jcbes act
and consequently apathy is the dxm-
mating characteristic of this cleo
ton.
Besides the senate and the lower
house of the assembly, the voters will
elect a resident commissioner to
Washington and a public service COM
mission to succeed the one previously
appointed.

Will Liscomb, of Mobile, is
the Man Who Suicided
Friday Morning.
NO EMPLOYMENT
GIVEN AS EXCUSE
Identification is Positive b..
A. T. Watson and B. F.
Cody, of Mobile.

A. T. Watson, a barber, and B.
r. Cody, Jr, hotel nan, from Mo-
bile. arrived in Pensacola Sunday
morning, coming with a view Of try
ing to identify the man whose BODY
was found floating in The bay early
Friday morning. They promptly
stated that it was the body of viii
Llpscomb, a machinist. about so
years of age. who had lived for some
time in the gulf city. In fact, Mr..
Watson said, 81 have been shaving
him for the past nineteen years and
am sure that is his body"
Mr.. Cody was also positive in his
identification, stating that Lipscomb
had boarded at his house for some
years, and he knew him intimately.
After thus establishing identity,
Messrs. Cody and Watson arranged to
give their friend a Christian burial,
This was done in the afternoon, Rev.
Herbert w. Rice, pastor of the Gads-
den Street Church. beng in charge
of the ceremonies. and the interment
being made in St Michael's cemetery.
Discouragment. the Mobile men
asserted. drove Lipscomb to his death.
A machinist by trade, he had 1-orked
little, if any. during the past year
or more and thew ascribed that as
the reason for Lipscomb divesting
himself of every object which might
lead to his Identification. 1t is the
belief Of his friends that he drowned
himself. and that he had thus taken
that step in the belief that he would
never be identified when the body was
found
Whether or not he had surviving
relatives, the Mobile men were UNI
able to state Mr.. Watson said that
he had at times spoken of his people
in California, or in the west some
where, but. so far as thew knew. he
never visited them, nor appeared to
have anv great desire to see them.
The Mobile men found new friends
in this CITY and renewed the acquain-
tance Of old ones. leaving last night
with the satisfaction of knowing that
their visit here was not without re-
suits. for it kept the body of a man
in life they esteemed very highly
from the potter's field.

Following excerpts from a circu-
lar in which Attorney General Greg
DRY interprets the bone dry law. or

The circular was received by District
Attorney Neeley, by whom its publ
cation is authorized. 1t says:
The Reed amendment makes it a
federal offense to cause intoxicat-
ing liquors to be transported III inter
state commerce, except for scientific,
sacramento, medicinal and mechani-
cal purposes, into any state or terri
tory the laws of which state or terri
tory prohibit the manufacture or sale
herein of intoxicating liquors for bev-
erage purposes" although the state
law may not prohibit such impOrta-
ton or may specifically permit the
importation of Intoxicating liquors in
designated quantities. See "a Cong.
Rec, Part 4, PIP. 3330-3336 and 3793-
38O6l.
Every form Of transportation is
forbidden, whether by common car

DELAYS MADE
To ORDER IN
MAIL DELIVERY.
Northern Mail Arbitrarily
Held Up at Flonaton
by Railways Orders.
COULD HAVE COME
ON TRAIN NO. 5
Reason is That Railroad is
Being Paid by Space,
Not Weight.

Train No. I, arriving from Fiona
ton yesterday afternoon, brought
little or no mail. Train No. 5, ar
irving about $50 in the evening,
brought probably less, and scores of
patrons, visiting the postoffice at the
usual mail distribution hours, were
disappointed when they found their
lock boxes empty.
1t appears that the fault was at
Flomaton, and train No. 5, which is
a through daily from Mobile, passed
Flomaton, leaving at that point, &C
cording to information from there, a
great pile of stacked-up mail bags,
destined for Pensacola and points
east of this city. This mail. it was
stated, was to remain at Flomaton
until No. 8, due at an early hour this
morning, arrives. 1t will then, it is
asserted, be brought on to Pensacola.
Thus a twelve-hour delay will have
been experienced.
The Reason.
From what could be learned of the
matter last night, train No. l, due
here in the afternoon, left Fiona
ton before the two main line trains
reached there. The north and the
south main line trains connect at
Flomaton with the train due here at
4 80 in the afternoon. Should either
or both of them be very late, it IS
said, No. 1 does not wait very long
for connections, but leaves the juno
ton on time, leaving passengers, eX-
press, etc, for No. 5, due about two
hours later, to pick up and bring to
the city. This, it appears, has been
the custom followed all in good order
and passengers are handled conven-
iently from the north and south by
No, 5.
But the reason for the malls de-
Law is another story. Nowadays, the
railroads are paid by space and
not by weights, Train No. /, which
pulls a mail car, reached here yester-
dav with the usual available mail
space empty. The space, therefore,
was not used, Train No. also car
ries a combination mail and express
car, and also, on account of no Sun
dav clerk working, its mail space was
not used,
The explanation offered by some
railroad men was that they acted un-
der instructions-tha orders were
| that NO. should not I'LL up on No
| Is mail.
It is understood that postal Off
Gals were yesterday informed by rail
road men that they had orders NOT
to pick up the mail by No. 1, giving
as the reason therefor. that no clerk
makes a trip on No. on Sundays
This train, however, on the morning
trip. which takes the train to Mobile
carries all mail offered going over
that line. But the fact romans that
if the space on No. was not taken
and that on No. 5 was not occupied
it appeared to scores of patrons OF
the local postoffice last night that
No. 5 could just have easily brought
in the slough of mail piled up at
tlomaton, and which, by the rail
roads own arbitrariness, caused Pen
/ sacola to go mailless for Sunday
night.

FjUe Arrested For Selling

eve haYe been shipwrecked

starving to death.
JOHN JOHNSON"
So reads a note washed ashore
in bottle and picked up by
George R. Kee, on the gulf beach,
not far from Inerarity Point.
The letter is almost illegible,
although the handwriting sug-
gests an educated man-it gives
the impression of having been
written under great difficulty.
A common piece of wrapping
paper is used, and it is badly
stained.
If the men were starving on
June 81, what must be their fate
now, on July 16?
No ships have been reported
as missing so far as can be as
certained, but then, the papers
are not carrying any shipping
news now.
Of course, the whole thing
may be a canard, but people as a
rule don't spring jokes like this,
and they don't carry them out SO
convincingly as this smeared
piece of paper.
Maybe this mystery of the
deep will never be solved; maybe
some vessel will come upon a life
boat with the remains of John
Johnson and his friends; maybe
the hideous find will yield a more
definite clue as to the identity
of the men and the name of the
ill-fated vessel.
