been endeavoring to interest the naval
auth critics in the excellent advantages
offered in the neighborhood of Mag
nolia Bluff for a sort of an auxiliary to
the mother station OF the naval air
branch. Yesterday, DR.. Blocker was
much gratified by the receipt from
senator Fletcher of telegram announc-
ing that the department had been not
only favorably impressed with the
plans set forth by DIR. Blocker and ear
nest advocates of the increased facili-
tioes fbr the local station, but had de-
cided TO locate an auxiliary station
there, and it will mean a great deal.
A steel pier, an observation tower,
quarters for the men, mess rooms. etc,

Trouble Between Well Known
Storekeeper and Youth
Has aFtal Ending.
DIES WITHIN
HALF AN HOUR
Mimms Wanted to Buy Ciga-
rette sand When Refused
Alleged Trouble Started.

Frank Cazeppa, so years of age. and
C. W. Mimms, 20 years of age a youth
from Birmingham, had a difficulty in
the store of the first-named on South
Palafox street yesterday afternoon at
an early hour and Mimms was shortly
afterward arrested by Officer Creigh-
ton, who had been informed of the
trouble. Mimms, charged with fight
ing, put up SO cash bond and was
released from custody. A warrant was
made for Mr.. Cazeppa, charged with
fighting, and when officer Creighton
started out to serve the second war
rant Mr.. Cazeppa had passed away.
Just whether or not his death resulted
from the blow said to have been. adj
ministered by Mimms is a question un-
determined. The coroner's jury was
empaneIed and a number of witnesses
were examined, and it will probably be
Monday before this inquiry is com
pleted The body adjourned until
Monday next.
The incident created the most in
tense interest on South Palafox street.
1t was reported that young Mimms,
who is a Birmingham youth. went into
the store and endeavored to purchase
cigarettes. Cazeppa doubted that he
was of age, and asked him how old he

lose his temper. IL is said, and very
soon trouble started. Just what was
used by Minrns in his mfx-up with
Cazeppa was not learned. but the lat

thirty minutes after his trouble with
Mimms.
One feature of the trouble which
stood out unfavorably, il appeared. was
the allegation that, after CaZeppa had
refused TO sell him cigarettes. Mimms
appeared to seek further trouble.

trouble started. The trunk was located
in the depot and watched by an officer
during the evening.
The police and deputies worked un-
der the difficulty of hunting a man
of whom there could be given no clear
or definite description. A stranger in
Pensacola, il seems that few knew

found who said he could and would

AMERICAN SOLDIERS MORE
THAN MATCH FOR GERMANS

London. June 15.--American soldiers
are more than match for the Ger
mans in the opinion OF Reuters CORE
spondent with the American forces In
France. Whenever the Germans mees
the Americans. he says. the Germans
have been beaten.
My impression" he adds, as that
the Germans will find in their new
foes men more resembling our domin-
ion soldiers than the home-born Tom
my. They are full OF tenderness. as
the German wounded already have had
cause to know. But they will not have
mercy on men who do not fight
straight and will avenge comrades
slain by treaehery to the utmost pla-
toon.''
Remarlxing on how quickly the
Americans are learning by experience,
the correspondent continues:
There is plainly much to be ex-
pected from the American army. only
II must be said with insistance. we
want a lot of them. Secretary Baker
has promised a million soon. That is
good but a million goes a wondrous
small way out here. We want that
million doubled as soon as possible.
A million soon will be worth many
millions later"
Referring to the large infusion of
Americans OF German descent, the
correspondent says that they make
good soldiers.

ENEMY FOUGHT TO
A COMPLETE STANDSTlLI

London. June 15.-With the enemy
fought to a standstill. something like
a stable line is being reestablished In
the Compiegne battle. On the whole
front between 'Montdidier and Cha
teau Thierry, the outlook is now re-
garded in Paris with more confidence.
but anxiety is still expressed In Lon
don where 1t is considered that great
peril is yet ahead for the Allies
The German effort. IL Is pointed out,
has undoubtedly fallen short OF the
complete detectives sought and has
entailed the heaviest losses. but the
enemy advance has appreciably in
creased the threat to Paris.
In addition. some commentators de-
clare. he still has reserves sufficient
to enable him to launch an offensive
greater than that of March.
There are three goals at which the
enemy may strike. namely: Paris.
Amiens and Calais. and the Allies. 1T
IS assumed, have little chance of ascer-
tanning the enemy's intention before
she blow falls.

FLORIDA MAN Is
INVENTOR GOOD

IMPROVED MACHINE, CONTRI-
VANCE OF LAKELAND CITIZEN,
FOUND VERY USEFUL IN THE
ARMY.
Washington Bureau,
Pensacola journal.

Washington, D. c.. June ia Flor
ida man, Mr.. p. II. McCrary, formerly
of Lakeland, has invented a mechnicaJ
refrigerating machine which has been
adopted by the United States army for
use in this country, on the way to
France and at the front during the
war.
II was also a Florida man, DIR. Gors.
rie, who invented the first ice making
machine in the United States.
The McCrary refrigerating machine
is known as the rolling refrigerator,
being circular in fom. built entirely of
steel, feet in diameter and IL feet
long 1t will hold two tons of meat
and is built of such shape as to be
easily transportable by automobile
truck.
It Is said to be capable of carrying
meat 200 miles across desert with
out any added water supply except
that carried In two small tanks. The
most important innovation in connec-
ton with the McCrary refrigerator IS
that 1t will use the same water over
and over again. 1t Is operated by a
small gasoline engine, which makes 1t
independent of the motor power on
the truck.
The McCrary refrigerator has been
under test by the engineering depart
ment of the University of Pennsyiz
vania and by experts of the army. In
a recent test ton of meat was car
ried from Philadelphia to Washington
in the McCrary refrigerator on an
army truck and reached Washington
in better shape than when IL left
Philadelphia. convincing the army Of
ficers it will prevent much loss of
meat at the front such as has been
sustained in the past.
