MOVIE PRODUCER PRAISES PENSACOLA AND IT'S PEOPLE
SUPREME COURT TO
HEAR ARGUMENT In
CITY SUIT ON DEC. 6
Case Grew Out of Petition for
Change to Aldermanic Form
of Government for City.

Argument will be heard on Tuesday,
December 6, by the Florida Supreme
Court at Tallahassee in the mandamus
case which calls upon the city COM
missioners to call an election to de-
termine whether the city of Pensa-
cola shall institute the aldermanic
form of government.
This case has been in the courts for
some time. Judge Campbell was re-
.versed in the first ruling made in the
case, but when it came before him
the second time a mandamus was is
sued calling upon the commissioners
to call such an election, and this sec
ond appeal went to the supreme court.
Attorney j. j. Sullivan of the firm
of Sullivan & Sullivan, who are asso-
ciated with Judge Maxwell in handling
the case for the petitioners, returned
from Tallahassee yesterday. where he
went before the court and succeeded
calendar so that an early decision
might be rendered.
Eighteen months or two years ago
a committee of citizens filed with the
clerk of the circuit court a petition
signed by 20 per cent of the qualified
voters of the city, which was certi-
fled to the commissioners, asking that
an election be called to determine the
wishes OF the voters in regard to a
change in the form of the city gov
ernment
This petition was filed under the
charter OF the city, which provided
when it was adopted, that at the end
Of six years after the adoption of the
charter that an election would be
called II petItioned FOR By so per cent
OF the qualified voters, ana that it was
the duty of the commissioners to call
such an election within 60 days after
the receipt Of such petition. This the
commissioners did not do, and the
mandamus suit was the result.
The commissioners held that the
Farris home rule bill superseded that
provision of the charter, and that the
legal way to go about the affair was
the filing Of a petition calling for
charter board, and that it would be
up to the charter board to select the
form of government for the city.
The city commissioners are repre-
sented by City Attorney John b. Jones
and Judge John S. Beard.

GOOD HEALTH HINTS
Oklahoma Farmer Gives Sound Ad- vice on Avoiding Sickness.- Used Black Draught
 30 Years.

Cameron, Okla.-"I have used Thedford's Black-Draught for about thirty years, and certainly ought to know by this time what good medi- cine 1t is," says MT. T. L. Bostier. . well-known farmer of this place. MT. Bostier has passed his three-score-and- tenth year, but declares his health still is good, "and I can say Black Draught did It's part"
 Where there Is a lot of malaria, . liver medicine is necessity, and have never found one better than Black -Draught," continues the Okla homan. Tt is one that I know to be reliable. I sure use 1t for the liver, stomach, constipation. indigestion. and 1t has done me a world of good. We use it for the family, and 1t gtvss satisfaction.
 Most trouble, or sickness, comes from the liver, and If taken in ums can be avoided. That is why l use Black Draught as I do. 1 am much pleased with results obtained"
 Thedfords Black-Draught Is purely vegetable. It acts on the bowels. gent ly stimulating the liver. and helps tn- crease the normal flow of bile into the tntestines. It assists in the digestion of food, and relieves constipation In prompt and natural way.
 Ask your druggist for a package to day. Insist on Thedfords. N(|l59

THAT EMERGENCY CLAUSE.

It seems that the last legislature got things in a terrible tangle as regards road matters
 Several road measures were passed at that session which bore the emer- gency clause and were rushed through the legislature. Now the legislature is being flooded with bills asking for the repeal of road dis tricts.
 These special bills are coming from all parts of the state and are not confined to one section.
 On many of the roads in districts created at that session and under the emergency clause a great deal of work has been done and a great deals of money has been expended. Now comes the people of these dis tricts and asks for the repeal of those bills, and if they are repealed most of the money already spent will have been wasted.
 The legislature may have the pow CT, but it has not the moral right, to put upon people tax for a road or any other improvement with out the consent of the majority of those affected.
 A few politicians have been able to go to Little Rock and by some hook or crook have been able to put over these road bills without getting an expression from the people of the districts.
 It is all wrong and is so proving itself Good roads are greatly to be desired by many people, but the people should be allowed ito say whether they want certain road and a few people should not be allowed to force it upon them.
 The general assembly would be doing a wise thing if they would abolish that emergency clause idea and have an expression from the people as to their wishes, especially as regards the building of roads.
 If the legislature will do this il will not be called upon to undo SC many of it's acts at coming sessions

THE COAL SITUATION.

In this dollar-loving land of ours the disposition to profiteer seems to increase.
 Just now, when there is tendency in nearly every line for reduction in prices why is it that coal continues at the highest price ever known?
 The recent investigation by a senate committee brought forth evi- dences of graft on the part of one dollar-a-year man, who is alleged to have made $675,000 in one deal in- volving ,000 tons of coal.
 It would seem that charges of gross incompentency were established against Secretary of War Baker who is alleged to have paid $11 ton for coal when it was worth only $3.70 at the mine. It was stated that the secretary of war was ad- vised against buying so much coal at that time, as it would undoubtedly be cheaper later on. But he disre- garded this advice and purchased 100000 tons at $11 per ton. Would a private corporation have stood fol a hold-up like that? Not in thous and years.
 If coA is selling at the mine al $3.70 or $3.80 per ton, then some body is making more money thar the law is supposed to allow between the time it leaves the mine and whel it reaches the consumer.
 In the face of all these evidences of graft and actual stealing there does not seem to be any disposition

CUSTER AT FL DORADO
 IS UNDER CONTROL
Experts Estimate Flow at 10000 Barrels of Which 40 per cent
 Is Oil.

Fl Dorado, Jan. 14.-The oil gush- CT is practically under control today.
 But there is no dimunition of the rush of wealth seekers, and there are no hotel accommodations here for the crowds which are swarming to the city.
 The price of leases is accelerating daily and property prices other than oil land has shot skyward and is bringing fabulous prices.
 Oil experts report the flow at 10, 900 barrels, of which 40 per cent is oil and the rest is mud, sand and water. No analysis has been made, however.
 Two million feet of gas daily is also shooting fro mthe well.

THE. HOLDING MOVEMENT.

Cotton has slumped $150 a bale since planting time. Which leads us to beIe that taea fife is a failure. The holding of cotton has been comparatively easy this year because there has been little demand for it at any price. If cot ton had been turned loose as fast as it was ginned many would have re- ceived a fairly good price for some of it-much better than present quo- tations.
 With great deal more of com modity on hand than there is any demand for it looks unreasonable to suppose that the price can be boosted by holding the crop back. If the supply is limited and the de- mand great there is some chance of success.
 The slump in cotton has cost the farmers of the South millions of dol lars; so also has the holding move ment.
 But the holding movement may still be successful if the present crop is held until next year and an ex- traordinarily short crop is raised.

RED LEADER BELIEVED TO
 BE DEAD
Karpoff, Which Was Lenine's
 Alias, Has Passed Away.
DEATH MEANS MUCH TO REDS
Lenine's Serious Illness Was An nounced Early In Week and German Doctors Were Call
 ed to Attend Him

Berlin, Jan. 13.-Karpoff, a mem- Der of the Supreme Economy Council of Russia, is dead, according to a Moscow message.
 It is announced that Karpoff was an alias formerly used by Nokilai Lenine, whose serious illness was an nounced early this week.
 Germans, familiar with Russian affairs, said they knew no other man of that name in Moscow
 The message said that. two physi- clans who had geen summoned iron, Berlin to attend Karpoff had been ordered back before the train reach ed the frontier. Two doctors, Hisse and Sallo, were summoned Tuesday to attend Lenine.
 If it is true that the dead man is Lenine it may make vast difference in the fortunes of the Soviet govern ment, as Lenine has been the biggest figure in the Bosheviki government

RESCUE TEN MEN
 DANGEROUSLY BURNED.
Were in Mine Three Hours Before
 Rescur Could Reach Them.

West Frankfort, H., Jan. 14.-Ten men who were dangerously burned in a gas explosion were rescued from a coal mine half mile west of here this morning after being prisoners for three hours. The death of two is feared.
 The injured were brought to the surface by men equipped with gas masks. Although the explosion oc- cured at 1:30, it was 4:30 before the rescuers could go down in the mine.
 The cause of the explosion is un- known. The workers could not give comprehensive account of their experiences.
 The rescuers included doctors who rendered first aid on reaching the injured men.

 No wonder it cost us $24,000,000,- 900 to prosecute the war; and no wonder we are faced with an annual expenditure of $4,000, 100000 to run the government.
 Economy has always been the watchword of the democratic party, but we seem to have forgotten it in these wild days.
 In the light of the exposures in the coal investigation it would be good idea for the government to take over the matter of the distribution of coal to the consumer
