tend a meeting of the state board of

The only interesting development in
the situation was learned today when

Nearly All Voters Seen Have
Signed Petitions for Call
of Citizens Get Together
Tonight.
MEETING TO BE HELD
AT COURTHOUSE SP. M.
Signers for Call Express
Themselves AS in Favor
of Return to Aldermanic
City Government.

That the mass me, ting called to be
held tonight at the courthouse for the
purpose of taking specific decisive
steps to return the administration of
city affairs to the aldermanic form
of government instead of the present
commission form, will be one of the
most largely attended political gath
erings held in this city in many
months, is clearly indicated by the
great numbers of signers of petitions
for the call.
There are five petitions for signers
for the call of the meeting which
have been in circulation since the
first informal meeting of about %
business men was held last Thursday
night at the rooms of the chamber
of commerve, over which Dudley r.
Saunders presided as chairman. That
meeting was held at kae call of Mr..
Jerry J. Sullivan, Sr., and others and
last night he handed into the Jeurnal |
the petition which had been in his
charge since the meeting. 1t bears
the signature of >weI over three hun
dred voters of the city. who by a.
taching their names have expressed
themselves in favor of returning to
the aldermanic form of government.
which is considered, after six years of
experience with the present commits
sion form as decidedly the most dem
ocratic.
If the other four petitions that are
out bear an equal number of sigma
lures the total will run over 1880.
The total number of qualified voters
in the city at the present time is un-
derstood to be about 3,70O, of which,
perhaps. 250 are negroes. Only 20
percent of the total of qualified cleo
tors is necessary to require the cali
of an election on the proposition.
Following is a copy of the petitions
being circulated:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens Of
Pensacola, hereby call mass meeting
of all citizens and voters in Pensacola
in favor of changing the present form
of city government from the commits

to be held in the court room of the
county court house, corner of Palafox
and Chase streets, on Thursday, June

SANITARY Law
OF STATE MAY
BE ENFORCED
Anti-Surface Closet Cam
paign Will Operate Under
State Law if Fight is Made
On City Ordnance.
@et,rIo.HsE

That the state law Will be resorted
to by the local health authorities, II
necessary, for the enforcement of the
anti-surface closet regulations, was
indicated yesterday by the authorities
in charge of the campaign here, when
following further Difference of cases
pending before the recorder, it was
made known, that still another effort
would be made through the courts to
bring about the annullment of the
city sanitary ordinance under which
the campaign has thus far been con-
Quoted.
Concerning the status of the cases
and the campaign, DIR. o. H. Cox, of
the local health service, said:c
There is considerable theorfzing as
to why the police court of Tuesday
morning again put OF trial of various
insanitary malefactors,' who are un-
der arrest for violation of the city
sanitary ordinance. The official rea-
son given is that a final combined
effort will be made Saturday morning
to break the city law. 1t is Won
dered why such an action seems de-
sirable to apparently law abiding citi-
zens, who are supposed to have the
best interests of their city at heart.
1T is further stated, for informa
tion, that everybody should unucr-
stand, that, state law on sanitary mat
ters is sovereign. And local law must
be based on that of the state, being
modified only as local conditions may
warrant. Police power of enforce
ment usually rests in local boards.
For these reasons, if the city ordi-
nance is Broken, there will be plenty
of room and more for action by the
state statutes, both for maintaining
an insanitary nuisance, and for i'm
proper disposal of excreta, unless
there appears to be a right disposi-
tion on the part of the trouble MAX
ers, who, it is understood. have got
ten up a purse to hire a lawyer, to
adjust matters. 1t seems there need
be no occasion for delaying matters
until Saturday. 1t is understood that
already some of the contestants have
arranged to have their sanitary work
done Others have stated that such
have been their intentions. 1t is be-
lieved that some are sorry they got
into the mess. Defiance on the part
of some, amounts to a declaration
that there 'ain't no sech law"
The state health officer. on depar-
ture from the city yesterday. stated
that he believed from all he could
hear, that there need be no occasion
for alarm about the final outcome.
But he left strict orders for his sani-
tary inspector to make arrangements
with the county solicitor to carry ouc
the law to the letter, If the need
arises.
In the meantime, installations are
going on steadily and rapidly. Part
of the new consignment of cans or
dered by Commissioner Pou has ar
rived and more will follow This
means the scavenger system can now
begin operation and teams will soon
make their rounds. Have your quarter

ENFORCEMENT
DISCUSSED
Drunkenness is Attributed to
Leaks in Law and Not
Laxity in Diligence of of
Officials.

County Solicitor Harry w. Thomp-
son and Sheriff ]. c. Van Pelt last
night expressed themselves rather Wig
orously as feeling that they had been
put in a false light before the COM
munity by an editorial which appeared
in The Journal Monday on the en-
forcement of prohibition.
While it was explained to them that
the editorial was aimed at a defect in
the law, rather than at the officials,
they were Certain the impression was
abroad as a result of the editorial that
they had failed to uphold the laws
because there were not sufficient fees
in sight Both men were ready to
strongly resent any such imputation,
would prove they had left no stone
unturned to bring all violators of law
to the bar of justice.
Both officials at the outset seemed
inclined to dispute the accuracy of the
statement that it costs about $50 more
to catch a violator than is recovered
by the officer who apprehends him;
and Mr.. Thompson especially strongly
resented the Journals statement that
ythe city and county dockets show num-
erous. drunks without the apprehension
iof any of the parties selling liquor.
The solicitor asserted that of only two
.drunks had appeared on the county
docket since his incumbency in office;
and he took the position that the city
and county are remarkably clean Of
ldrunks and that the editorial state
ment was wholly unwarranted.
Reference to the city recorders
docket book later however, showed
t27 cases so far during June charged
with drunkenness, and only one case
where a party bringing liquor into the
city had been arrested and that party
was c.1smissed without punishment.
Later in the conversation it was adj
rnitted by both officials that it often
costs as much as S25 to catch a liquor
yender and while the fine may be as
much as that or more, the fee allowed
by the law TO the sheriff does not
begin to compensate him for the ex-
pense necessarily incurred in apprc-
;hending the violator- AS the sheriff
is forced to advance all the expenses
tof the catch. they said, he is personal
ily loser of whatever amount he can
not recover.
Sheriff Van PeIt stated that during
the present year he has advanced out
OF his own pocket at least $3.50 of which
be has documentary evidence. which
The has never recovered, and has no
prospect of recovering, all in efforts
to enforce prihibition. Both officials
icalled attention TO the fact that suc3
a state of affairs renders il well nigh
impossible in many cases for the shcr-
iff to pursue vio1ators of the law, and
they did not believe that citizens would

Santa Rosa County Road
and Bridge District Bond
Election Carries Ten to-
One.
PEACE PRECINCT IS
SOLID FOR PROJECT
Federal Aid is Set BY Santa
Rosa and Escarnbia and
Work is Expected Soon to
Commence.

The construction of a 100000 bridge
across the Escambia river at or In the
vicinity of Ferry Pass, became an as
sured fact with the result of the road
and bridge district bond election held
yesterday in Santa Rosa county. being
declared about ten to one in favor OF
the issuance OF bonds in the sum OF
sleo. 600, of which amount $4,000 iss
to be applied on the Ferry Pass bridge
project.
Complete results of the election held
yesterday were not obtainable by The
Journal over long distance telephone
however it was ascertained that in the
Ferry Pass precinct 72 votes were cast
of which only three were against the
creation of the district and provision
of authority for the sale of bonds. At
Pace 6s votes were polled, all in favor
of the proposition At Milton 191 votes
were polled, with only about 25 against.
Four other precincts in the proposed
district had not been heard from, how
ever the total vote was estimated at
not over So. These precincts were
Pine Wood, Indian Springs, Mulat and
Wallace. 1t was expected that at least
three of these precincts would show
majorities against the proposed i'm
provement bonds, though even If it
should develop they were all solidly
against, the result would not be chang
ed.
OF the total of $4,000 road and
bridge bonds to be issued by Santa
Rosa county, $4,000 is to be applied
of which is to connect Milton with the
proposed Ferry Pass bridge. a distance
of approximately eight miles. 1t is un-
derstood the balance is to be expended
on the Milton -Brewton road and other
projects.
Provision Already Made IN Eseambia.
BY act of the recent legislature Es-
Gambia county is authorized TO issue
time warrants in the amount Of $780,
900 for the Ferry Pass bridge and the
total of 100000 provided by the two
counties of Escambia and Santa Rosa
is to be matched with an equal sum
from the federal aid fund for Florida.
The result of the election. in Santa
Rosa in favor of the bond issue was
a source of a great deal of gratlfica-
ton in Escambia county well in
the neighbor county and Commissioner
L. w. Hardy for the Ferry Pass dis
trict stated last night that there is no
visible reason why work shoule not
actually be started now on the pro-
ject at an early date.
The vote polled throughout the dis
trict in Santa Rosa county is consid-
cred a representative one and evidences
the enthusiastic interest felt by the
citizens of that county in the contem-
plated road and bridge improvements
and in keeping apace with the pro-
gram Of the times along this line of
common city development.

Two Divisions of u. S. Reg
ulars Are Taken off Sail
ing List Till Germans Sign
Or Decline.

A period of waiting has settled over
the peace conference while the Ger
mans at weimar are deciding whether
to accept or reject the slightly amend
ed treaty handed them Monday at
Versailles.
Accounts of the amended treaty's re-
ception at Weimar say there was deep
'pessimism and resentment over the al
legged cruelty of the terms A London
dispatch quoting a Berlin message says
seven members of the German cabinet
favor signing, but that seven others
oppose it. A Paris newspaper asserts
that one of the German delegates has
declared that Germany would sign.
Considerable resentment prevails at
Weimar by reason of the fact that the
German delegation, on leaving YER
tcrowd of hoodlums and two members
+ of the delegation were struck by
stones. Premier Clemenceau has
written a letter of apology.
