PURCHASE OF DOCK
SITE Is HELD UP
Temporary Injunction Granted
by Judge C. Moreno Jones of
the Court of Record.

The citizens of Pensacola have won
the first round in the legal battle in
volving the Palafox dock site. Ins the
injunction suit instituted by a COM
mittee appointed at the recent mass
meeting, Judge G. Moreno Jones Of the
court Of record yesterday morning
granted preliminary Injunction
against the purchase of the PalafoX
docks. The attorneys win prepare the
injunction order on Monday and pre-
sent It Scr the signature OF the court.
IL is understood that the city com
naissionsrs may make an appeal from
this order to the supreme court Of the
state, in which event the building Of a
municipal dock will be delayed for an
indefinite time, the citizens win be
taxed to meet the interest on the bonds
and the skilled and unshilIed laborers
Of the city may wait the coming Of
another year for his hopes of munici-
pal dock building to materialize.
on the other hand, il the city COM
nfssioners do not appeal the case, but
choose another dock site. it VIII mean
that shortly the municipal docks win
be on the way to building, furnishing
employment for many men D Pensa-
cola, who sorely need such employment.
4. II. Bingham, member OF the COM
mittee appointed to represent the citi-
gems of Pensacola at the recent mass
meeting. said last night:
About ali I have to say is dee
lighted AS to the next step, I think
it is UP to the commissioners. I would
like 10 see them officially call off the
PaIafox project and call in some high
class municipal dock engineers to
make a thorough survey Of the whole
situation, with a accommodation as
to the most suitable site. II the rec
comedies with their own
Judgment and is shared generally by
the shipping interests Of Pensacola,
why then, the commissioners can pro-
ceed with the location and construc-
ton of the municipal docks with out
fear OF criticism or interference. Con-
struction could be under way by New
Years day. We need the work more
than we need the dock just now, but
I believe we viii need the municipal
dock facilities by the time they can
be made ready for business"
The principal grounds assigned in
the bill Of complaint for the granting
OF the Injunction were that the city
were without authority
to invest the dock funds in a piece OF
property that was and would. remain
in the possession OF private persons
for a term Of years, and was therefore
not a dock site. but merely an invest
ment OF the dock funds in private,
non income bearing property second.
that the city commissioners were with
out authority TO lease the city's dock
property. and were equally without
authority to buy dock property sub
5ect TO lease, and third, that the lease
was in the nature Of a franchise and
could not be granted in the manner
undertaken in the ordinance. Judge
Jones sustained each OF these conten-
tions.

CONFERENCE ENDS
FIRST WEEK WITH
OPTIMISTIC VIEWS
tRy The Associated Press,


WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-The first
week Of the washington conference
ended with optimistic views expressed
by several delegates, prominent among
them Premier BRAND of France, that
soon the principles for the limitation
Of armament and the settlement Of the
far eastern questions may be definite
ly agreed upon by all.
Prince Tokugawa of Japan added a
note of caution, however, saying that
matters must not be hurried and the
delegates must not become impatient,
especially as there is no doubt the
conference will not last so long as
was originally thought"
The opinion is gaining ground in
some delegates that other conferences
may follow the present one on account
of the new conditions which will arise
especially in the far east.
Thus" one prominent European
statesman observed, America through
the noble initiative of President Hard
ing and the courageous and far reach
ing program of Secretary Hughes, will
become a solid bridge between eastern
and western civilization. making them
harmonic together"
Some delegates have suggested that
convocation of an economic confer
ence as they maintain that the estab-
lishment of a complete and lasting
peace is not possible until the finan-
ciaI and economic equilibrium of the
world IS restored"
