ASK WILSON'S AID TO
BUILD TETON Line
Senators Nugent and Bo.
rah Call on Executive
Support Promised

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senators
Borah and Nugent have called on
President Wilson in the matter of
securing federal permission to build
the ten miles of railroad, an extern
sion Of the Short Line from briggs
to the Teton Basin coal fields.
They pointed out that this short
stretch of road would. open up a
great coal field which would afford
relief from the coal situation thruout
the inter-mountain states and that
the coal fields can not be developed
without the road and the cost of the
construction would be small consid-
ering the benefits.
The president evidenced great in
terest in the matter, saying that any
movement that would increase the
coal supply of the country should
receive attention and he assured the
Idaho senators that their request
would be passed upon promptly by
the railroad administration.
The road in question from briggs
to the Teton coal mines Is the matter
that State Fuel Commissioner Good
ing has been working on and he has
shown that the building of the road
would relieve all of southern Idaho
from any danger of fuel shortage,
it would provide coal cheaper and
will release fully 1900 coal cars now
used to haul coal long distance.

washington, which will make avail
able for Florida approximately four

CHARGES MAYOR
TO STOP SELLING
Commandant Addresses Re-
quest to District Attorney
Also to Lend Aid.

Charging that the poisoning Of SER
vice men by liquor and other drinks
must stop. and the sale of such ar
ticles must be curtailed in Pensacola,
Captain F. M. Bennett of the Naval
Air Station, has addressed ,rgen re-
quest to Mayor Frank Sanders and
U. S. District Attorney, John L. Neeley
asking action in the matter.
The request from the commandant
Of the Naval Air Station comes as an
aftermath of the death of D. Morgan,
carpenters mate from the naval sta
tion, who died in the city Jail last Fri
day morning, as the result OF drink
ing poison.
A further investigation into the cacse
Of Morgan's death is wanted by Cap
tain Bennett according to statement
issued by him last night 1t is his
intention to press the matter upon the
city authorities, and attempt to Sc,
cure conviction of persons VINO may
have been instrumental in aiding the
sailor to get the drink.
1t is understood there is evidence
in the hands of the police regarding
the identity Of two women who were
seen with Morgan shortly before he
was found in a comatose condition by
the police.
Efforts to locate Will Johnson, ex-
officio coroner, last night were in
vain, and it could not be ascertained
whether or not the investigation into
the cause Of Morgan's death had been
stopped. DR.. F. Brink, at the state
health laboratory, said that he had
been asked to- make no examination
Of the dead mans stomach content to
ascertain the identity of the drug
which is said to have killed him.
DR.. w. d. Mobiles. city physician,
who attended the man at his death
in the city Jail was firm in maintain
ing his belief that the man died from
the effects Of drug other than al
cohol. DR.. Decker head surgeon OF
the Naval Air Station, was not in
clined to this view, and told The
Journal after Morgan's death that he
did not believe that any further in
vestibation was necessary.
