of the returns from the drive.

Failure of Congress to Pass
Appropriation in Time
Causes But Temporary
Halt in Activities.
SHOPS NEVER
WERE CLOSED
Many Men Worked All Day
Yesterday and 1t is Be-
lieved ALI Will Return to
Navy Yard This Morn
ing.

TIE regular schedule of work at the
yesterday, through failure of congress
to pass the naval appropriation bal
before the first day of the new fiscal
year. and a portion of the civilian
force at the yard were idle during the
day.
When the workmen arrived at the
yard yesterday morning. the shops
were open ana ready for the routine
work, but the men were instructed in
regard to the financial situation that
existed as result of the delay in the
navy appropriation bill.
Because of the fact that at present
there is no congressional assurance
that the money will be forthcoming
for the new fiscal year, the workmen
were warned that they could work on
their own responsibility or lay off
until the matter had received adjust
ment at Washington and the officials
here had been notified of the outcome.
Instructions were received by the
men that they might accept the blow
ing of the navy yard whistle as notice
that work was to be resumed. Many
of those who were idle through the
morning had returned to work at noon
and conditions are expected to be
ABOUT, normal this morning. - -------
The following statement. which was
issued from the navy yard yesterday
morning, explains the situation:
THE naval appropriation bill not
having yet become a law there are
now no funds available for the fiscal
year beginning July 1. a. section Of
the revised statutes of the United
s'tates prohibits executive departments
of the government from incurrin.y any
expense in excess of appropriations
made by congress. There is no
money available for the payment of
wages or other expenses incurred from
and after July 1.
"a similar situation has occurred
before and has been met by the en-
ployes of the yard continuing to work
on their own volition with the ex-
pectation of being paid eventually. but
without any promise from any yard
official that they will be paid. No
one has any authority to make any
such promise.
"The shops at the air station will
be kept open as usual during working
hours for the benefit of employees who
ucSlTc 10 WOfhs VIII tIC ldAl
edge that there is not at present any
money with which to pa ythem."
AS stated i'm yesterday mornings
press dispatches from Washington the
- val appropriation bill was compler-
ed by congress Monday, the last day
of June. but of course funds are not
available until the bill has been signed
by the president and the funds put
through their usual cham FOR dis
tribution. This would perha 1tiirc
a week or ten days, possib. re
since the president will perhaps IT
attend to any official business uI
arrival from over seas before next
Monday, however. it is the prevalent
belief that all who have jobs at the
yards will do well to hold on to them
If they are profitable and satisfactory.

Owners of Cruisers At New
Orleans Waiting for Word
to Start On Run to Pensa-
cola.
SPECTACULAR FLEET
ARRIVAL is PLANNED
Cruiser Brenda is to Have
Strong Competition This
Year for Handsome Carlo
Trophy.

New Orleans, July AFTER weeks
OF tuning up engines and general pre-
parations of craft for one of the most
important yachting events of the sea-
son in southern waters, the owners of
cabin cruiser motor boats of the
Southern Yacht Club fleet, are ready
for the long distance race to Pensa-
cola, Fla, which is to start on July
third.
The largest, swiftest and most sea-
worthy craft OF the fleet will partici-
pate. and while they will be started
from West End at different hours,
they probably all will arrive in Pen
saoola harbor in one spectacular
fleet. barring accidents. 1t is expected
that all of them will have crossed the
finish line by 4:30 o'clock on the aft
ernoon of July A.
The crafts entered are as follows:
Violet, Commodore Percy S. Benedict
owner; Brenda IL, Vice Commodore
c. b. Fox, owner; Au Revoir, w. B.
Chilean, owner; Spitfire ", ]. Eu-
gene Pearce, owner; Tennessee, Isaac

G.. V. Rogers. of Pensacola, owner;
Mercathides, T. p. Stewart, owner;
Lurline III. p. J. Mcmahon, owner.
The principal and oldest trophy Of
fered for this race is the William A.
Carlo cup, which must be won three
times by the same boat before ie be-
comes the permanent property OF any
owner. Vice Commodore c. b. Fox's
superb express cruiser, Brenda III, the
speediest yacht In southern waters,
has won it twice, needing only to win

will probably have the race of her
career in the coming contest as there

The road is expected to give net
returns of $4,000. after estimated op-

The railroad passes through a level

The company took the matter of

that they would send their engineer

Disbarment Proceeding
Against H. S. Laird Are
Dismissed On Motion BY
Solicitor.

That the proceedings for disbarment
filed about two months ago in the
circuit court against II. S. Laird, well
known attorney, have been dismissed is
source of qualification among his
many friends here and especially
among members of the local bar. who
unanimously signed a petition on be-
half of Mr.. Laird following institu-
tion of the suit.
The charges against Mr.. Laird were
instituted soon after the ldst trial of
the Blackwell Brothers I'm Panama City

victed for the murder of Mr@sand Mrs.
Bud Davis, an aged couple who lived
near Camp Walton, Will Blackwell
since having died IN the jail here
Feeling, it will be remembered, ran
high in the case at the time and
charges were made that Mr. Laird,
one of the attorneys for the defend
ants, was intoxicated in open court
during the trial. These charges have
been thought by Mr.. LairdSs friends
to have had their inception largely
in motives to influence further pro-
ceedings in the case.
