BIG COAL BIN
IS COMPLETED
Corona Coal Company Structure
Will Hold 5000 Tons in
Reserve for Bunkers.
OFFICE OPENED HERE
Bin Is City Block Long and Ten
Feet High-Will Prevent
Shortage in Rail Tie-up

To facilitate bunkering ships the
Corona Coal Co. of New Orleans. has
completed a huge coal bin at the G..
F. & A. wharf with capacity of over
5000 tons of coal. The bin was COM
pleted yesterday and is ready to re-
ceive the first train load of bunker
coal. The local office will be under
the supervision of I. B. Whiteman of
the Corona Co. Mr.. whiteman left
yesterday to confer with the home Of
ficials of the company.
The big coal bin will contain more
than 60 cars of bunker coal when
filled to capacity. or more than 1900
tons. 1t is planned to keep the bin
full, from which to draw coal for
ships when railways are unable to de-
liver the coal from the tracks.
The bin is more than a city block
in length and is 10 feet in height. 1t
is built of heavy deal timber and runs
parallel with the G. F. & A tracks
near the dock. Coal from the train
may be dumped into the bin direct
from the cars without being handled
and when needed it is taken from the
bin by a steam shovel working on a
crane. The shovel empties into cars
and the cars run up the chute to the
coal chute of the G.. f. & A. From the
latter chute the coal is emptied direct
into the ship.
With the building OF the big coal
bin Pensacola, as a coaling port for
ships, will have the best facilities for
bunkering ships of any port in the
Gulf. Ships entering this port for coal
in the past have depended upon the
railroads for coal supplies, but with
the completion of the bin, reserve
supply of coal will be kept on hand to
coal more than one ship. The Indian

CARRANZA WILL

Mexican Political Situation Is
Still ClOuded Though Elec-
tiOn Is Almost at Hand

Mexico City. Mar. II. With the
presidential election less than six
months away, the political situation
in Mexico is so obscure that it is inn
possible to state definitely whether
there are three or six candidates.
President Carranza has been en-
phatic in his statements that he in
tends to retire when his term of office
expires next December. He has de-
clared for honest elections and a
peaceful transfer of power
A recent conference of seventeen
Mexican governors held in the ma
tional capital took cognizance of their
chiefs attitude by issuing a manifesto
to the people in which they pledged
their support to the legally elected
president. The governors conference
was declared by the local press to
have deep political significance mas
much as elaborate plans We're made
by the executives for holding elections,
each governor to exercise complete
control over the voting in his state
One significant part of their pro-
gram was the elimination of the fed
eraI army from politics. This was
in accord with recent order from
the War Department, made at the di-
rection of President Carranza, to the
effect that army men must not meddle
in politics.

LECTURES
ON EDUCATION
Noted Educator Speaks at Ar
mOry Hall Tonight on Work
at MOOseheart Home.

Albert Bushnell Hart, scientist phil
osopher and lecturer of national repu-
tation will lecture tonight at the Ar
mory hall under auspices of the local
order of Moose. DR.. Hart is professor
of the science OF government in Har-
ward University and is touring the
Southern states in company with Mrs.
Hart. They arrived in Pensacola yes
terday.
DR.. Hart will give a picture of
Mooseheart, the orphans home of the
Moose and will take up the vocational
education of children. He will out
line the aims and purposes of Moose
heart and will describe the activities
of the home. The lecture will be free
TO the public.
DIR. Hart is using his vacation year
from the university in visiting many
states and his tour will also take him
through California, Honolulu and then
through the north. The tour will take
year to complete. In every city
where there is a local order of Moose
the professor lectures on the wonder
full work being done at Mooseheart.
Ten years ago DIR. Hart made a tour
of the South and at the conclusion of
the journey wrote a book of his OBJ
servations. 1t was called the Southern
South, and attracted a great deal of
favorable comment at that time.
Mooseheart, said DIR. Hart, is the
pioneer institute of vocational edu-
cation. The home has over 500 chill
dren and these are all being taught
useful trades and professions. The
institution is making book educational
practical. continued the professor, and
it is establishing national reputation
as being the school that trains for
life.
The home has an income of over
million dollars annually and the
plan is valued at over two and a hals
million. 1t has 1000 acres of the best
Ioam black land that could be found
in the state OF Illinois, said the pro-
fessor.
The institution has been watched
and assisted by the foremost educa-
tors in America, and has the endorse
ment of Roosevelt, Wood, Monroe and
many other prominent Americans.
There is not another institution in
America that is doing the work that
Mooseheart is, he said. The school
is managed by board of governors
consisting of eight men. This board
has complete control of the institu-
ton under the order or Moose. Dr.
Hart is one Of the governors.
In speaking of Pensacola, DR.. and
Mrs. Hart We're both enthusiastic.
They complimented the city upon hav-
ing such a hotel as the San Carlos
saying that in all cities they had Wis
tied in the south that they had never
been guests in any hotel showing the
courtesy, friendliness and home-hke-
ness as the San Carlos.
DR.. Hart said that Pensacola should
be the gateway for all tourists going
or coming in the southern part of the
state. Campaigns should be staged
in having the railway offices sell
tickets by way Of Pensacola, allowing
stop-overs in this city.
DR.. Hart visited several places OF
historical interest in the city yesterday
and today will visit the naval sta
tion, Fort Barrancas and the old fort
San Carlos.

to announce should convince the folks
that he is good for all the things he
saws he is in this announcement, and
the last candidate should prove that he

outlook for just plain ordinary per-
son like me is somewhat gloomy.
Mr.. Smithwiek seemed TO be quite

granted when the strike ended.

tlement. He is preparing a minority

creased wages of about thirty five
per cent.
Secretary Green of the miners union
after conference with Secretary Tu-
multy at the White House said there
are no radical differences in the two
reports, and expressed hope that diff
ferences will be ironed out at joint
meetings. The president in inviting
the commission to undertake settle
ment said it was important that their
conclusion be unanimous. Some ad-
ministration officials and miners ex-
pect the president to reqeust the two
sides to get together on a basis of
two reports.
The wage increase proposed will alb
sorb the ii per cent granted when
the miners returned to work last no
vember, so that the actual increase is
IL per cent over present wages.

check off system, by which the oper-
ators collect from the miners dues to-
the unions, be retained. 1t also recon-
mended that the question of differ
entails be referred TO special COM
mission to be appointed by the joint
wage scale conference and to report IN
two years.
The wage increase would not be
made retroactive. The commission did
not ask that the powers of the fuel
administration be conferred on it.
The majority recommendations were
submitted today to President Wilson,
but have not yet been made public,
White House officials saying they
were awaiting the minority report
