HOLDS CRYING TOO
LOUD DISORDERLY
CONDUCT; 81 FINE

Whether or not loud crying
should be considered as dfsorderIy
conduct was decided last evening
in the court OF Justice J. A. Bow
man, In the case of four young
negroes.
James and Ellen Brown were Sis
missed by the court, as the noise
they created was not conside cred
disorderly enough to warrant X
fine; but George Kirkland and Jen-
ME Brown made too much noise to
escape, They were assessed 81 and
costs each.
The quarrel between the latter
over 10 cents took place Sunday at
62S Thirteenth street and resulted
In the negro girl crying aloud IN
Mysteries. The four were arrested
by Patrolman John Furlong, VIII
liam Epperson and Charles Minor.
The justice said that as long as
they cried to themselves no objec-
ton could be raised. but when the
waiiing was brought to such a pitch
that the peace of the neIghborhooc
was disturbed, then the conduct of
the two chief offenders warranted
a fine.

gram q success.

The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1919-12-19
Florida Press Opinion
PORT OF PENSACOLA.
Mobile Register.

A issue of The Pensacola Journal calls
attention to government work that it is expected
will soon be undertaken for the improvement of
Pensacola harbor. Says The Journal: Through
the active interest of Senator Duncan T. Fletcher.
Senator Park Trammell and Congressman Smith
wick the assurance has been given Pensacola that
following completion of the work under
way at ST. Andrews that the rdredge Caucus will
be ordered Pensacola to dredge the channel to an
even greater depth than it has"
It is generally understood that Pensacola has
the deepest natural harbor the coast, her bar
channel having a depth of 33 feet, the as
that which is being dredged at the entrance
of Mobile harbor. The bay inside has ample
depth of water, and is large enough to accommo-
that that port in need of improvement; and,
as we learn from The Journal it is proposed sim
ply to maintain all the advantages with which
ture has endowed the port; the work to be under
taken in recognition of the ACCESSIBILITY of keeping
it tthe port) up to it's highest standard of eff
ciency.'
Pensacola harbor is much resorted to by the
vessels of the United States navy, and is regard
ed as a valuable governmental asset. The Journal
says that the government intends "to make
order that there may be naval vessel and no
merchant ship that sails the seas, which not
enter the port of Pensacola"
