WILL PLY FROM
HERE TO south
Have Direct Rail Connections
With 'Hailing Port" of Gin
cinnati and Middle West
MEANS MUCH TO PORT
New Line Is Well Financed and
Big Developments Are Ex-
pected to Follow Shortly.

1t was officially announced yesterday
that direct rail connections have been
arranged between Pensacola and Gin
cinnati by the capitalists backing the
new Farragut Steamship Corporation,
composed principally of Cincinnati fl
nanciers interested in South American
and Cuban trade and transportation
via. this port.
The Farragut transportation inter-
ests propose by this new arrange
ment to make Cincinnati a "hailing
port" for the Farragut steamships
through the port of Pensacola and to
use this port as their only gulf outlet.
The announcement at Pensacola was
simultaneous with an announcement
at Cincinnati by B. NJ. Ainsworth who
has assumed general management Of
the new Farragut Line, Inc. Mr. Aims
worth's announcement said that the
board of directors of the new corpora
tion is headed by Sig Freiberg, until
lately one of the most extensive whis-
key distillers in Kentucky and Ohio,
and of the firm of Sig and Sol Frei-
berg, having headquarters in Cincin-
natl.
Under the arrangements announced
yesterday Pensacola will be the pre-
ferred port of the New Farragut Line
in the Cuban and South American bus
mess which is now assuming the great
est Importance. Many of the leading
manufacturing plants of the central
west, especially those making automo-
biles and machine tools, are looking
to South America for markets.
Pensacola has always received much
attention by shippers and this active
boosting by the Farragut Line indicates
"a big development, as the new corpo-
ration is exceptionally well financed.

ENDS CARRANZA'S STORMY CAREER
North Carolina TOlUn Is
Stirred By Race Troubles
Deputy Sheriffs Who Charged
Barricaded House Were Shot
Down by Negro Inmates

Fayetteville, N. c., May 22.-Every-
thing was quiet here today, following
trouble late yesterday between whites
and blacks, which resulted in the kill
ing Of Deputy Sheriff H. NJ. Butler,
the probable fatal injury Of Deputy
Sheriff w. J. Moore and the burning
OF three negro dwellings. George Hobbs,
who is charged with shooting the Of
ficers when they approached house
in which he and several other negroes
had barricaded themselves, is being
pursued today by bloodhounds
The trouble started yesterday morn
ing when a negro woman, the daughter
of Hobbs, was arrested following an
alteration with white girl at the
Victory cotton mill village, on the out
skirts of Fayetteville. Tie father, ac-
cording to the police, became enraged
at the arrest Of his daughter and Gre
ated a disturbance in the village
throughout the day. Last night when
officers went to arrest Hobbs, he,
themselves in house and fired upon
dwelling, Butler being instantly killed
and Moore falling with a bullet
through his intestines.
After the shooting of the officers,
assistance was rushed to the scene
and the house in which the negroes
had barricaded themselves was burned.
The negroes then escaped to two other
houses, which also were burned, but
the blacks made their escape in the
darkness. Numerous shots were ex-
changed between the officers and the
negroes, but the two officers are the
only ones known to have been injured.
Great excitement prevailed in T7y.
etteville during the early part Of the
night, and it was feared for a while
serious trouble would result. A call
for troops sent to Governor Beckett
was cancelled later. The authorities
believe the situation is we'll in hand
and do not think there will be further
trouble.
A fifteen year old son of Hobbs,
suspected of having fired the shot that
wounded Deputy Moore, was captured
by members of the sheriff's posse in
wood near here early today, and
taken to Raeford, n. c., for safe
keeping. Hobbs wife also has been
arrested and placed in Jail here. The
posse was continuing the search Tor
Hobbs tonight, but no trace of the
negro has been found.
Physicians entertain no hope for the
recovery of Deputy Sheriff Moore, it
was stated at the hospital, today.

NO CAUSE FOR
ALARM DUE TO
PRICE CUTTING
President of American Bankers
Association Sees No Danger
Permanent Unstableness
ANOTHER STEP IS TAKEN
An Estimated s25O,OOO,OOO Tied
Up in Frozen Loans" on
Sugar to Be Liquidated.

st. Louis, May 22.-There is no cause
for alarm in the present nation wide
price -slashing movement, according to
Richard S. Hawes, st. Louis president
of the American Bankers Association.
Washington, May 22.-Another step,
designed to aid in driving down prices
of necessities, has been taken by the
federal reserve board. Gov. Harding
is understood to have intimated to
federal reserve bank officials tina. tn "
should scrutinize carefully the paper
they hold as security for loans made
to the sugar trade to the end that
more sugar may be made available
for domestic consumption.
1t was estimated that probably $780,
100000 was tied up in frozen loans
on sugar stocks and it was regarded
as probable that the banks would be
able to locate any sugar stocks held
for speculative purposes and force
their distribution.
Reserve board officials would not
discuss Governor Harding's action fur
ther than to say that such move was
entirely in line with the policy to
which the support of the bankers was
Tuesday, at-which ways and means of
preventing boarding for speculative
purposes, were discussed.

Washington, D. C.-The people are
responsible for everything that exists
as well as for the lack of anything
which does not exist in a democracy
like the United States
This is the contention of Attorney
General Mitchell Palmer, who, by rea-
son of bis activities against profiteers,
packers and Reds as well as from the
fact that he is leading candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton, is becoming one of the most
talked of men in America.
'Tn government of the people, such
as ours" Palmer said recently, ''the
kind of government we have rests en-
,tirely with the people themselves.
They must do their share Of the work
Of government. Those in official sta
tions are representative of all the peo-
pie and should represent no particular
sect or section, not alone the political
party to which they belong, but all the
people Of all the country all the time
Good citizens should not mix in public
affairs in any half-hearted, academic
or cloister-like fashion Eternal vigil
lance is the price Of good government"
The principles Palmer lays down he
has followed In his own career. He
fought for clean politics in Pennsyl-
vania. his home state, and won.
In bis own Congressional district,
home Of the giant Bethlehem stee
works, he was elected to the House Of
Representatives thee times, with
Okolona messenger., 1920-06-03

Charles NJ Schwab, the Steel King,
lighting hard to beat him.
He cleaned house" in the Pennsvl-
yania Democracy in 1912, with the re-
suit that Wilson delegates were sent
TO the Baltimore convention. Without
those delegates the nomination would
have gone elsewhere.
Palmer has shown courage, without
which a man in public life is useless
to the popular welfare, at every stage
of his career.
First it was when he was a candi-
date for Congress The first time in
the Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania. This
Democratic district had a rule of ro-
tation in electing men to the House of
Representatives. Iii twenty years It
had had ten different Representatives
"a new one every two years.
Palmer held that no man could get
squared away to do good work and
get therwork done with one term.
Rotation is rot" he said. IF you
elect me this time l will ask you to
elect me again two years from now"
He won and smashing the preee-
dent, was reelected twice.
"The Fighting Quaker" they call
him in the Twenty-sixth. The sobri-
quet, because it fits him so well, fol-
lowed him into Congress, where he be-
came party leader
1t took courage again to defy the
Penrose bipartisan gang in Pennsyl-
vania, but he has plenty of it, and
when he and few others like him
got through fighting the Penrose lieu
tenants, masquerading as Democrats
In his party, those lieutenants found
themselves on the outside of the or
ganization, with Palmer and the pro-
gessive element of the keystone de-
mOcracy in control.
His work as Alien Property Custo-
dian again showed the fearlessness
that is basic In his nature. Despite
the threats of enemy agents to "get
him." he seized and devoted to the
use of the United States in the prose-
cution Of the war more than $8OO,OO0,-
900 worth of enemy-owned property
and eradicated the widespread espio-
mage system which under the guise Of
enterprise was doing the
work in America.
The Reds knew he was collecting
evidence against them. He received I
many letters threatening his life. An |

ly. It wrecked the front Of the house.
