Some Streets of Londonderry
We're MurderOus Fire For
Sixteen Hours
LULL LATE LAST NIGHT
Scenes of Most Terrible Des-
scription Reported In Fight
ing Between Two Factions

TLopdonderry, June 23.-Five Sim
Feiners were killed by machine gun
fire employed to cover the removal of
several protestants from barracks on
the streets tonight, according to a
military statement. There is a lul. now
(10:30) in fighting. Scenes of the
most terrible description were enacted
here last night and today. Many
streets were swept by murderous fire
for 16 hours continuously.
One man was killed and ten dam
gerously wounded in one section of
the city. Several bodies were reported
lying in Bishop-st. Among the wound
ed was a young girl.
There was no cessation today in
the battle between unionist and ma
donderry in a terror stricken state
for some days past.
During the night the rival factions
erected additional barricades from
which they kept UP continuous fire.
For time the shooting assumed the
intensity of volleys.
The malcontents today were in en-
hire charge of most of the city and
it even was impossible to learn the
number of casualties from the au-
thorities.
The military remained passive. the
troops watching bodies of armed men
ssnss through the side streets to their
battle positions. Considerable fight
ing occurred on the water front
which was cut off from the rest of
the town. The central police station
was isolated from the other stations
and the police virtually beseiged. 1t
was rumored that a force of Sinn
Feiners was gathering outside the city
and also that the Irish volunteers
were about to take a hand.
No more troops had arrived In Lon
donderry up to this afternoon. 1t was
reported, however, that an additional
battalion had detrained at Coleraine,
about thirty miles northeast of this
city, and was marching in to escape
the danger of its train being wrecked.
AS many persons are finding it pos
sible to do so are leaving London

BAYVIEW MADE
PARADE FINISH
Ship-by-Truck Day Will Be Fea-
tured by Trades Display,
Fish ChOwder and Parade

Ship-By- Truck Day was given
much gas at two meetings held at the
San Carlos hotel yesterday. At a
luncheon at l o'clock there was much
enthusiasm displayed, although the
guest of the ensacola Automobile
Dealers Association failed to arrive.
Kelley D.. Spencer was due to talk on
Ship BY Truck because he had wired
that he would be here but he didn't
show up. Nothing daunted, the deal
ers went right ahead and it was dem
onstrated that Pensacola doesn't need
the help of outsiders when it comes
to putting things over. The luncheon
was a success whether viewed from
a gastronomic or a business stand
point. Insurance Miller was there with
a sixteen cylinder appetite and not
only devoured his own food but took
the place of Spencer when it came
to eats and he then announced that
he was ready to work.
Severpl committees were appointed.
H. E. Root reclared that if he could
be relieved of the duties of grand
marshall that he would give s25 to
the cause. After he had been relieved
of the coin. Fred Schad was made
grand marshall. His assistants will
be Crenshaw, Miller and Sellers. At
the night meeting someone suggested
that it was necessary to have man
on horseback and as T. II. Lacy was
the only one present who had ever
mounted the hurricane deck of a. buck
ing broncho he was added to the COM
mittee. The automobile dealers can't
see the horseback stuff and they
handed this to Lacy as punishment.
The parade which will also be a
trades display will move at noon on
Friday. July 2. After vending its
way through the business section it
will proceed to Bayview Park where
fish chowder will be served free.
There will be other trimmings. such
as MA. B, Old Heidelberg and things

BUILDERS
PLATFORM BUSY
Prohibition Enforcement Issue
Continues to Occupy Center
of Democratic State

San Francisco, June 23.-The volun-
teer construction corps of platform
builders were busy today whiting
out planks they believed would meet
the needs of the Democratic National
Convention
In expressing views on prohibition
enforcement, leaders, including Chair
man Cummings agreed it will monop
olize the center of the stage until set
tied. Cummings expressed the opin-
ion it will be the only issue carried
to the floor Of the convention.
Informal discussions by delegates
showed several schools of thought
among the anti-bon dry advocates as
to how the question should be ap-
preached. They vary from the states
rights stand taken by Governor Ed
wards, of New Jersey, to proposals
that congress be urged to proceed di-
rectly toward modifying the one-haf
of one per cent alcoholic content re-
striction, so as to life the ban on beers
and light wines.
The most pronounced movement,
however, and one which appeared to-
day to have AIKEN most definite shape,
was that originating in Washington
and designed to offer basis on which
the anti bone dry forces could con-
centrate. Personal liberty will be the
slogan of advocates of this plank,
which it is understood advocates in
general terms liberation of the Vol
stead act.
The question was discussed today
as to whether the platform should be
adopted before or after the presidential
nominee is selected. Cummings will
call various campaign managers into
conference on the eve of the conven-
ton to see of program can be ar
ranged satisfactory to all.
Los Angeles, June 23-Tammany
delegates en- route Ito San Francisco
today declared themselves in favor of
the manufacture of light wines and
beer.
Great Falls. Mont, June 23.-William
j. Bryan, commenting on the indorse-
ment for the presidency by Nebraska
members of the committee of forty
eight, said today he will not be can
didate of a third party. He said he is
too busy making planks for the demo-
cratic party to think of running for
the presidency.
Chicago. June 23.-Bainbridge Colby.
secretary of state, and delegate from
the District of Columbia to the Demo-
cratic National Convention, en- route
to San Francisco today, denied he was
taking any of President Wilson'S die
tums to the convention. He said the
president has too much respect for
his party to attempt to intrude his
ideas or force his ideas on the party
in open convention. He also said he
had not discussed a third term with
the president and added there is alb
solutely nothing in any talk that 1 i
may be a vice presidential candidate"
