Mobile Recently he came to Pensa-
cola and was rooming at a boarding
house known as the Hammock House
on Romano and Spring streets, near
the place of shooting Saturday night
After the shooting two men We're seen

Hammaclk house The sheriff's de-
partment has developed that Marriott
has not been working lately, and,
needing funds, robbery would be his
motive in the hold-up.
Marriott asked for due bill for
his board Saturday night and after
getting his bill for s14, left the house
for a while, one of the occupants say
ing that he returned about p. M,
and another that he came about II
p. m. Leaving the house early Sun
day morning he later sent two negroes
with s14 and the due bill to the owner
of the place and asked that these men

day night there was another suspicious
circumstance in which Marriott was
believed to have been implicated A
citizen was walking down Romano
street and saw two men crossing the
street toward him. Thinking from
their actions that a hold-up was con-
templated this man pulled a fIashlight
from his pocket and tried to throw a
light on the two men. The light failed
to work, but It is claimed when these
two men saw a bright object in his
hand they turned and walked back
towards the side of the street from
whence they had come. The descrsso-
ton given TO the sheriff of one of
these men comedies with that of Mar

riott. About ten minutes later this
man heard the shot and calls for help
by Cooley. Marriott was also iden-
titled few minutes later by another
man who told the sheriff that these
two men were near the scene OF the
shooting at this time and that they
turned their heads upon his approach
SO as to hide. Marriott he said, was
one of these men.
The sheriff's department is develop
ing further evidence along the line of
robbery being the motive in the case
and further arrests are expected dur
ing the day.
The description of the two men who
did the shooting was varied early yes
terday morning, but it is generally un-
derstood that one of the men was tell

a maclSinaw and a black felt hat ana
the other one wore a. cap. Cooley had
several hundred dollars on his person,
none of which the murderers got.
When Captain Harper of the police ar
rived on the scene Cooley held bag in
his hand with silver and had roll of
currency in his pocket.
Cooley, in his statement to the po-
lice, shortly before his death. said that
as he passed the w. o. w. hall two

building, one of them pinning his arms
down from the rear. The other man
came to the front and pointed a pistol
at his neck. Cooley said that this man
had something black over his face and
he did not recognize him. When the
pistol was leveled at Cooley, the lat
ter grabbed the gun and in the strug-
, gle that followed brought the muzzle
down. When the barrel was about
even with his stomach the bullet was
fired that caused his death later, the
assassins fleeing.
Cooley was we'll known in Pensa-
cola and had many friends here. The
city was stirred by the affair yester-
day and talk of the murder was the
principal topic of conversation on the
! streets. The people are incensed and
are demanding that the gunner be
caught and punished.

NEGRO CRAP GAME
ENDS DISASTROUSLY

A crap game, an AK, a butcher
knife and wounded negro, are the
remains of a game of chance INDUCED
in by a number of negroes between
Jackson and Gadsden streets yester-
day. The negro who was wounded and
another negro quarreled over Win
nings and losings, the former making
motions with an ak and the latter
using long, keen butcher knife, and
when they were separated several
inches of butcher knife hole in one was
evident. The wound was through the
right chest and cut rather deeply.
The police are looking for the wielder
of the knife.

unanimous or the question would be
referred by unanimous vote to an UNI
pire, whose decision would be final, or
TO the national tribunal.
Refusal by any side to controversy
to submit to adjustment would result
in the constitution of a regional board
of inquiry, consisting of the chairman,
two members of each panel and the
representative of either side that
agreed to adjustment. If the other
side consented to adjustment before
the inquiry was completed, the board
of inquiry would become a board of
adjustment by appointment of the re-
ma lining member. Otherwise, the board
of inquiry would investigate the dis
pute and make public its findings for
the benefit of the public.
In the presentation of evidence"
the preliminary statement declared,
each side shall have the right to pre-
sent its position through representa-
tives OF its own choosing"
All the properly constituted boards
would have the right to subpoena wit
nesses examine them under oath, and
to require the production of papers
pertinent to the case.
Existing means of adjustment and
Cancellation. whether federal or state,
or established under mutual agree
ments of workers and employers in
any industry, would not be affected by
hte creation Of the system suggested
by the conference.
With regard to public utilities, the
conference made the following state
ment:
The plan here proposed presents
greater difficulties in application to
public utilities than to competitive in
dustry. The continuous operation OF
public utilities is vital to public well
fare As the capital invested is en-
ployed in public use, SO is the labor en-
gagged in public service; and the with
drawal of either with the result of sus-
pending service makes the people the
real victim.
1.-The conference believes that a plan
of tribunals or boards of adjustment
and inquiry should be applied to pub
lie utilities, but in the adaptation of
the plan two problems present them
selves. First, governmental regulation
of public utilities is now usually con-
fined to rates and services. The. con-
ference considers that there must be
some merging of responsibility for reg
ulation of rates and services and the
settlement of wages and conditions OF
labor Such coordination would give
greater security to the public, 70 en-
ployes and to employer. Second, is the
problem whether some method can be
arrived at that viii avert all danger
of interruption to service. These mat
tiers require further consideration be-
fore concrete proposals are put for
ward.
After declaring that the government
could not permit its functions, con-
49, all 10

sation of work, the conference further
affirmed government employees con-
cerned with the administration of JUS
tice or the maintenance Of public safe
ty or public order should not be per-
mitted to affiliate with any ergan1za-
ton which authorized the use OF the
strike An essential part of the appii-
Gation of these principles. it was add

SPLENDID INTEREST
IN METHODIST
REVIVAL CONTINUES

| The revival services at the Meth
odist church yesterday Afternoon
were attended by number Of PEG
pie, augmented by the interested mer
chants and clerks who had respond
ed to the request Of a committee to
close their stores during the hour OF
afternoon service from three to four
o'clock. A spirited song service was
followed by clear and forceful talk
from Rev. Dunaway again setting
forth the need of the world for fruit,
full Christian service. With power
and delineation he portrayed the
work needed and the equipment nee
essary for workers. The services
wereS closed with earnest prayer for
such equipment
In spite Of the heavy rain great
audience assembled at the evening
hour, thus showing the deep interest
In the services. Perhaps this SER
vice was marked by the cooperation
OF all Christian peoples, for interested
workers were seen from many con-
gregations. The services were op-
ened with the usual Song Services,
led by Mr.. Boyd whose singing is a
sermon in itself. His solo, "My sins
are forgiven, Are yours?" sang the
gospel to eager listeners. Rev. Dun
naway preached on the theme of
Repentance, being continuation
OF the themes which have produced
such interest, and upon invitation for
those who were anxious to decide for
Christ to come forward about twenty
adults pressed to the front, while
many youth asked for prayer. Rev.
Fntzminger led the audience close to
God in his clear petitions, and others
followed as willing workers.
Many decided and settled spiritual
matters for themselves and helped
others, such is the spirit of the meet
ings growing in helpfulness. Special
appreciation was expressed for the
merchants, response to the request to
close stores during the hour of after
noon service, and a special invitation
is extended to them to attend this
and all other services The oppor-
tunity will be given to return to
business at four O'clock that no more
time may be taken.
Service will be held at 3 D. m. and
7:45 p. m. daily and everyone will
be delighted who attends these SER
vices, Visitors are welcomed.
