NEW ARMY LAW IN
 PRESIDENT HANDS

With the near approach of the call for examination by local ex- emption boards of those who were drawn in the recent draft for the new army, scores of inquiries are made at the state house regarding the operation of the law, many of them to the governors office. In re- gard to all inquiries relating to the operation of the selective service law, the governor desires that they be made to Colonel Fred s. Breen, dis bursting officer for the state.
 President Wilson is personally in charge of the operation of the selec- tive service law, and Colonel Breen is his representative in Arizona. Governor Campbell, it was again an- nounced at his office yesterday, has no authority in regard to the duties of the appeal boards, and inquirers will save their own time, as well as that of attaches of the governors office, if they will address such in- quiries to Colonel Breen in the state house.

THE BLIND TIGERS
ARE NOW CAGED

Henry Pruno and C. M. Hambrick,
both negroes, who were fined for sell
ing liquor without license, appeared
in the city court yesterday when Re-
corder Semmes announced that the
original fines of 500 and $3.50 would
stand, and that there was no reason
to his mind why there should be a
new trial allowed in the premises.
With this announcement he overruled
or denied the motion for such a move.
The fines were in the respective
sums named, or an alternative SEN
tence of so days. The negroes have
announced that they cannot pay the
fines, and have been advised, accord
ing to information at the station,
that they would not appeal. Both
were in the city Jail last evening.

"Chance" Davis, colored, arrested
at Barth, Fla, by Deputy Sheriff ] !.
c.. Potter, of Molino, was brought to
the city Monday afternoon at three
o'clock and locked up in the county
jail on charge of bigamy, the ale
CATION being that the negro, whose
first name indicates that he took a
"chance" at the marrying game and
lost, had more than one wife. In fact,
according to the affidavit, Davis has
two wives, and both of them are said
to reside within the confines of Es-
Gambia county.

negro, hardly able to repress a smile.
was locked up and it is said stands
ready to confess to the offense when
ever opportunity offers. 1t is said
that he could make bond, but that
same was not very eagerly sought by
him.
This is the first offense of this
kind coming into the local courts in
some months, the last case being that
of negro woman who was arrested
and charged with having two hus-
bands.

RAPID DISPATCH IS
|. GIVEN SIERRA LINER

Quite record was hung up in load
ing and dispatching the Sierra liner
Gracia, which went to sea yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock, bound for Liv-
erpool, England.
1t required less than a week of ac-
tual working time to load this steam
err and in view of the fact that the
usual stay of these vessels is ordi-
narily from ten days to two weeks,
the quick dispatch is hung up as an
accomplishment of which those hav-
ing to do with the loading point to
with pardonable pride.
Big Cargo.
The Gracia carries a large and
miscellaneous cargo, valued at more
than half a million dollars. The fact
that her capacity cargo was placed
aboard, and the ship moved away, di-
rectly from loading berth to the oper
sea without the assistance of tug, az
is the case in other ports, is anothel
feature of this first record cargo Of
the new year.
The Gulf Transit Company loaded
and gave the ship the rapid dispatch
referred to above.

TOURISTS ENJOY
TRIP TO THE GULF
BEACH, ON '|DLER'

While zero weather prevailed at
many of their homes, quite number
of tourists, in Pensacola for the win
ter, yesterday found it comfortable to
shift coats and wraps, and many of
them even craved the service of a
fan. A party early yesterday chart
cred the yacht Idler, in command of
Captain Charles Dillon, and went
over to Santa Rosa Island, where, in
addition to spending the greater part
of the day gathering shells and adj
miring the beauties of nature, right
at the feet of Pensacola, they spent
an otherwise happy time on the is
land.
Many of them could not help con-
Tossing the wide difference of wealth
er conditions, as compared with that
experienced on the island and that
prevailing in their Canadian, north
ern and western homes, and will look
forward to another trip to the gulf
beach before they are forced to re-
turn to their homes.
Those on the yacht, and their re-
spective home cities, were:
w. E. Pettus and wife, Terre
Haute, Ind; Chester Thompson, Sas-
katchewan, Canada; F. Fickes and
wife, Evansville, Ind; Mr.. and Mrs

It is needless to say that the posi-

quite a number of applicants, who
accompanied by friends and special
ors generally, are expected to Grove
into the meeting room. The session
therefore, viii probably be held in the

easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice cold, but a

Also sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
