PUMPING MOTOR
TRACK BE BOUGHT

A motor pumping truck, an addition
to the present equipment of the fire
department, will shortly be purchased
by the city. according to statements
made at the city hall yesterday In
fact the commissioners have already
prepared advertisements for bids for
such vehicle, and about the latter
part of June a demonstration will
either be given in Pensacola or at
some point conveniently near, to which
place one or more of the commission
ers will proceed for the purposes of
Witnessing just such a test, and upon
the strength of their report, 1t is said
will depend whether or not the pur-
chase will be made.
The acquisition of the motor pump
ing truck will be quite a notable one
for the local department. The city
now has a fine pumping engine, but it
is horse-drawn. and therefore not cap
able of reaching a desired location as
quickly as might be desired at some
time In addition to securing the
pressure of water from the mains, the
engine will add its force, thus being
capable of throwing stream of water
considerably further than is at pres
ent possible.

First Lieut.. NJ. j. DePriest, army re-
Pensacola today on trip of inspec-
ton. Lieut.. DePriest said that the
United States guards were in need of
men who are over the draft age and
who have had experience as firemen.

army, navy or marine corps. Thou
sands of men are making an effort to
enlist or to be indicted in the tank
corps, national army, this particular
and purely fighting branch of the SER
vice being open both to volunteers and
registered men. All other branches of
the service are now open for enlist
ment except the aviation section and
the signal corps. and colored stevedore
regiments.
So many young men who have not
yet attained their 18th birthday are
making all kinds of efforts to get into.
the service. Some Of them actually
misstate their age in order that they
may have a chance at the Hun and at
the same time show their patriotism.
This fact should be noted by those
men who are commonly known as
slackers, and If they have the least bit
of love for their country and a drop
of real American blood in their veins,
1t would put them to shame. A slack
err is a man that has no substantial
and reasonable excuse for not being in
some service of his country, that is if
he is of military age.

few days in the American National

HEAVY VERDICT IN
COURT OF RECORD

One Of the heaviest verdicts ever rem
dered in the court of record was tina.
Of late Tuesday night when the jury in
the case of Matte Holland against the
Louisville & Nashville railroad COM
pany was decided for the plaintiff The
latter was awarded a verdict of 1900,
with interest from date OF suit, and
such announcement, made in the ses-
sion Of yesterday, was pronounced the
largest recently rendered in this trib-
unal.
This case went over two days, and
was given to the jury about7 O'Clock
Tuesday night. The five men who dis
cussed the question deliberated more
than four hours, making the return af-
ter IL o'clock, and the verdict was
formally entered yesterday. Five men
sat on this jury, it having been agreed
by both sides that Sam Bosso, who is
employed at the shipbuilding plant, be
excused because of his pressing duties
at that point.
The plaintiff, alighting from a train
some two years ago, stepped from the
car where it is held there should have
been platform, and in leaving. she
struck her knee on the step of the
passenger coach, sustaining injuries
which are pronounced permanent.

CASE AGAINST CITY
WON BY DEFENDANT

All day yesterday the court of record
spent its last day of this term in try
ing the case brought against the City
of Pensacola by Mrs. Emily McGrath
and husband, NJ. ]. McGrath, which was
a claim for personal damages alleged to
have been sustained by Mrs. McGratn
when she fell on the sidewalk at a
point on Palafox street, caused, accord
ing to the claim, by hole in the side
walk he case went to the jury short
ly after ) O'Clock and was decided in
favor of the City of Pensacola, the de-
PENDANT in this case.
Interesting arguments were features
of this case, especially the presenta-
ton for the plaintiff on the part of
Attorney w. l.. Zachary, who under
took to attach blame for the defective
walk, and referred to the fat, lazy po-
licemen and the big-salaried commits
sioners, and the big salary of the city
attorney who might we'll suffer, and
could we'll afford, a salry cut, to make
up any judgment which the jury saw
fit to award, this statement being
against that made by the other side
which intimated that special taxes
might be required to pay any big judg-
ment if rendered against the city.

PAYS 500 FOR
SELLING LIQUOR

Angelo Dova. On the charge of sell
ing liquor without license, pleaded
guilty to the charge in the court of
record yesterday and a fine of 500 and
costs was imposed. The same defend
ant was arrested on a like charge in
the city court some time since, prob
ably three weeks ago. and in that trib-
unal also paid a fine of 800 and costs.
His plea of guilty yesterday was I'M
derstood to be a different offense from
that made out in the municipal court,
when the fine as named above was
imposed and which the defendant paid
the same day. 1t has been rule OF
the court of record not to consider
charge against any one defendant who
is punished rather stiffly in the city
court
Six negroes all charged with mis-
deHneanor, also appeared in the court of
record yesterday and pleaded guilty A
fine of So and costs, or an imprison-
ment term Of about two months, was
imposed on each Of them.

A woman who defied the German
army to save the archives of her com
mune was recently awarded the Cross
of War. She is a school teacher in the
Marine district, Nine Fiquement. Her
citation reads as follows:
"a woman of the highest courage,
brave and devoted among all at Taisey,
during the German occupation, had the
power, by her noble and energetic at
titude, to impose her personality upon
the occupying forces by refusing, even
under the most brutal menaces, to
give up to them the archives and the
maps of the commune In spite of the
incessant bombardment undergone by
village now almost levelled to the
ground, she continued up to the very
hour fixed by the military authority
for total evacuation to administer, all
by herself, the affairs of the COM
mune. With courage and abrega-

very greatest services to her fellow
citizens, giving to all the beautiful ex-
ample of energy and of never falling
