me advertisements will be prepared
within ten days time. They will ask
for new bids for the purchase of the
bonds.
Only two bids We're entered at, the
time Of closing of receipt of bids, one
of these being from r NJ. Cant & Co.,
through the Citizens q Peoples Bank
as agents, and the other from Cald-
well &, Co. The highest bid was from
the latter firm and $29e,O0O. was Of
fered for the S4Oe,0OO in bonds, or dis
counting the bonds at the rate of $74
for 500 in bonds. The other bid was
only slightly under this quotation and
the firm offered $295, 100 for the $780,
600.
The bidders were notified of the
rejection of both bids and of the
reasons for so rejecting the offers.
The advertisement to be placed for
new bids will call for an opening of
the bids within 80 days from the date
of advertising. The city will reserve
the right to reject any or all bids.
Bids for the purchase of the bonds
were opened five years ago, and the
highest bid at that time was $40, 900.
This offer was rejected, the commits
sioners taking the position that the
offer was too low.
The commissioners are considering
contracts for the docks. the con-
tractor to be paid in bonds instead of
money. This plan was suggested by
Capt. Paul Stewart, of the Pensacola
Shipbuilding Co, who stated that if
the commissioners so desired that he
would bid for the construction of the
dock when the advertisement was
placed and take bonds in payment of
the work. One more advertisement
will be placed for the outright sale of
the bonds, and if none of the bids
are accepted then the other. plan may
be adopted

SMITH RELEASED
in, JURY HEARING
Warrant Issued Lated by County Judge
Charging the Negro With Murder;
Has Not Been Located.

Ed. SInltn was ordered released from
custody by the col<ler's jury late
yesterday afternoon and a few min
utes later a warrant was made out
before Judge Bellinger for the. arrest
OF Smith on charges of murder. The
negro had not been located up to a
late hour this morning, though officers
and friends of the murdered man made
a thorough search of the city.
An investigation was conducted all
day yesterday by the coroner's jury in
an effort to fix the responsibility of
the shooting of Dick Morris. negro,
early Friday morning. Before his
death Morris is >said to have made a
statement that he recognized Smith
as the man who fired the pistol and
then made another statement, accord
ing to testimony in the hearing yes
terday, that he did not know anyone
else who would attempt to kill him.
Chief Staten. of the Naval Air Sta
ton, where Smith was policeman,
testified that he had issued seven
rounds of service, 45-calibre ammuni-
tion to Smith few days previously
and searched Smiths effects at the
station the morning following the
shooting. He found only one round of
the ammunition. He testified that the
five empty shells found at the scene
of the shooting had the same marks
as the ammunition which he had is
sued the negro.
A negro named Hubbard testified
that he saw Smith standing near the
and spoke to him about five
before the shooting took
place. Smith answered his greetings.
calling him by name Another' witness
testified that he saw Smith shortly af-
ter the shooting, going up the street.
The jury was inclined to disbelieve
this testimony. though it was not re-
futed. John P. Stokes was attorney
for Smith.
With the return of the coroner's
verdict Smith was released from Jail.
Polly Morris, sister of the murdered
man, made the affidavit in the warrant
for the arrest of Smith before Judge
Bellinger, and the police force was
asked to assist the county officers in
locating Smith.
