PENNED IN CABIN
BY GUSTS OF FLAME
Bilges Filled With Gas,
Which Had Leaked From
Tank After Valve Had
Been Tempered With.

An explosion of gasoline vapor, fol-
lowed by fire, in the cabin of X. q.
Carter's motor launch, "Loulie," at
Eilxins' boat shed at $40 o'clock yes
terday morning. caused serious in
juries by burning to w. +. Biggs. OF
242 West Garden street, and minor
injuries to II. +. Gonzalez, OF I'll West
Garden street. The top OF the cabin
was buckled outward by the explosion
and the boat was scuttled to prevent
its total loss.
Mr. Biggs, together with Mr.. Con-
zalez, w. G. Jones. S. r.. Mallory, DIR.
G. Ray Mitchell and Brydon M. Bell.
had gone on board the craft to get il
ready for a trial run and a forenoon
fishing trip. Mr.. Biggs had had charge
OF repairs to the engine and had gone
into the cabin to start the motor.
The smell of gasoline caused some
comment by various members of the
party and investigation showed that
someone had tampered with the valve
of the port gas tank SO that IL gallons
of gasoline had flooded through the
carbureter into the bilges. 1t was
decided to pump the bilges before
making the trip, but before this could
be done. Mr.. Biggs. who was down be-
low. threw in the starting switch and
turned over the motor.
Immediately there was a loud ex-
plosion, followed by a gust of flames
through the entire cabin. Mr.. Com
zalez. who had been leaning over the
engine room hatch. was knocked over
board by the blast. and DIR. Mitchell.
who attempted to catch Mr.. Gonzalez,
also went overheard.
Mr.. Biggs was thrown to the for

main hatchway. He succeeded in
passing through ten feet or more of
fire and got his head through the star
board hatch. His call for help was
heard by Mr.. Jones. who reached down
and rescued the burning man. Mr.
Biggs' clothes were on fire and his
sleeves and the back of his short were
almost completely burned away.
A telephone call was sent to DIR.
Mobiles and Mr.. Biggs was carried to
the hospital, where DIR. Mobiles at
tended him. He is reported as resting

his home.
In the meantime, a fire alarm had
been turned in and the boat was scut-
tied after Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Mallory
had cast off her moorings.
The .Loulie'' had recently been re-
built and was to have been given a
trial trip. The same craft was burned
to the waters edge in a gasoline fire
about one and half years ago.

TEACHERSARE
HARD TO FIND.
AT PRESENT DAY.
Many Have Taken Civil Ser
vice Positions and Others
Are Engaged in Industrial
Work.

The $500 schoolhouse that stands by
the side of the road that sometime
will be rebuilt for 100000 is one of
the things which is causing an acute
shortage of teachers in the country
schools of Escambia county.
The shortage OF teachers in the
public schools of Pensacola. so keen
ly felt when the board of instruction
was preparing for last years term. has
been relieved by a number of Pensa-
cola women who have signed up for
the coming school year. There are
dozens of vacancies yet to be filled
in the rural districts.
While the unattractive aspect OF the
country schoolhouse is said to be re-
sponsible to some extent for the short
age of teachers, the situation has other
angles. The prosperous condition of
farmers, who, instead of finding it
expedjent to board the school marin"
in order to add 81 a week to the
family income, have taken to buying
and no longer need board
ers, is one of them. Higher salaries
in other industries has, of course, de-
creased-the supply of teachers, espe-
cially among the women instructors
who claim that they have never been
given a square deal in the matter of
equal pay for equal work.
The civil service has made big in
roads on the teaching staffs of the
counties. Many of the women instruc-
tors who did war work in Washington
are still at their posts. and others are
in the field service.

Ell Paso, Aug. 17.-An offic-

at military headquarters here
tonight announcing that Major
L. A. Walton, commander of the
aero unit at Fort Bliss, had re-
ceived a message from the two
missing American army avia-

well known bandit and that it
was believed the message was
authentic.
The aviators are Lieutenants
