COURT RESENTS ANY
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
Negro is Fined $3.50 for Beating his
Horse Over the Head With Stick

The cruelty to dumb brutes is not 70
be tolerated in Pensacola was clearly
demonstrated by what took place at
the morning session Of the city court
Yesterday. James Hammond, negro
who gave his address at gao East Jor-
don street, was brought before Record
er Morey to answer to a charge of
beating a horse which he drives to a
produce wagon with a stick.
The fact that the negro was beating
his horse was not of such great inn
portance, but he was beating him over
the head and was administering the
punishment in a manner that was en-
tireIy unnecessary. This is according
to Assistant United States District
Attorney Earl Hoffman and his father
who happened to drive along near the
intersection of 9Th avenue and Wright
street at the time.
The younger Mr. Hoffman reported
the occurance to the police and Special
officer OfConnell arrested Hammond.
Both gentlemen appeared before the
court yesterday and testified against
the negro.
Following a short LECTURE regarding
the protection OF those who cannot
speak for themselves Recorder Mercy
fined Hammond $3.50, with instruc-
lions not to be caught repeating the
performance.

DEMURRER ARGUED
in FEDERAL COURT
Defense in Valparaiso Case Makes an
Attack on the Construction of
Indictment

Claiming that the indictment charg-
ing six persons connected with the
operations carried on, at Valparaiso, in
the southern part of Okaloosa county,
by the Valparaiso Development COM
pany is defective and faulty, Phillip
D. Beall strongly urged the court to
quash the indictment at a hearing to
"a demurrer before Judge William B.
Sheppard in the United States court
yesterday.
William Fisher, also employed by the
defendants, addressed the court and
also argued that the Indictment as re-
turned does not constitute or set forth
the charge of conspiracy to violate the
laws of the United States by using the
mails for the purpose of defrauding.
Both District Attorney Cubberly and
his Assistant, Earl Hoffman, defended
the indictment declaring that it met
the requirements and that it was good.
The government asked time to pre-
pare brief in memorandum, and
Judge Sheppard announced that both
sides would be granted that privilege
With the directions that the brief was
not to be submitted later than Satur-
day morning. He took the case under
advisement and will render decision
later as to whether the demurrer will
be sustained or overruled.

VERDICT In GROVE
CASE Is RETURNED
Mornins-case Was Holly Con-
tested by Both Sides

On charges of forging an endorse
ment to a government pay check and
later cashing it. Roy Grove went to
trial in the United States court yes
terday after Judge Sheppard overruled
a demurrer to both counts set up by
the defense. The jury after being in
elaboration for more than an hour re-
turned sealed verdict last night which
will be opened when court convenes

This was one of the most holly
contested cases of the term, and both
sides fought every inch of the ground.
plenty Of smiles being occasioned by
the biting sarcasm which the attorneys
INDUCED in at times
And the check itself-very material
as evidence-was the cause of the big
gest scramble. There were certain in
structions on the back of the check
as to the manner of endorsement, etc,
not mentioned in the indictment. The
defense discovered this variance-if
such It was-and held that it should
not be submitted as evidence.
Various authorities were cited, but
Judge Sheppard finally ruled that 1t
was not necessary that it be mention
ed. that the description of the check
in. cases of this kind was incorporated
in the indictment IN order to give the
defendant such information as would
be necessary in the preparation of his
defense-and that in his opinion the
particular part in question was un-
necessary.

examined, practically al having been
summoned by the government. Grove

BIG GUNS OF FORTS
 REGISTERED MANY HITS

The roaring of the big guns off New London during the past week recalled war times. It is really but the spring target practice of the regulars at Forts Wright, Terry and Michie.
 The coast artillery district command der, General Mark L. Hersey, was well pleased with the business like manner in which the practice with the big guns was conducted. Hit after hit was reg istered on the target which was a mere speck on the horizon at the longest ranges.
 One of the interesting features was the control of the movement of the tug towing the targets. by means of radio telephone.
 The shooting was excellent.
 Their garrison is now recruiting to fill 250 vacancies. which remain. Men who enlist now will go into training fer the fall target practice.
 A large percentage of the troops are c;t.Zens of Connecticut and in every city and big town, soldiers. are enlisting their friends to strengthen company baseball and track teams. There are six companies a. each st the larger rest and much interest cen. ters in the intsr-compary baseball league.

DEALER CUTS GASOLINE
 PRICE IN NEW LONDON


 A gasoline war is on in New London One seller of this necessity for automo- bilists who recently installed a 1000 gallon tank so that he could break the high price. which prevails in New Lon don has announced cut of two cents a gallon at retail, effective Wednesday. For the past week he has been sell- ing gasoline at one cent 14nder the other retailers who asked him to come up a cent and meet the,r price. Instead of doing that he told them that he was go- ing down another cent, and instead of having to pay S1 cents the fluid may be bought there now at 29 cents.
 This dealer said that he was warned when he installed his big tank that if he undertook to cut the retail price he would not be able to buy gas from any of the big oil companies.
 He has now decided to try conclu- sions with the four oil companies and will probably meet with a real fight The wholesalers will probably meet his figures it is believed and if so the pub lie will have him to thank instead of the four big oil companies.
 meeting of the New London Auto mobile Dealers association was held on Wednesday noon and City anager Bar1 low and Councillor Clarke attended. The dotoInoplle deaierS association proposes to back up the dealer in his eort to get lower priced gas for the public of New London and he has the moral support of the city manager and some members of the city council. The latter, it is un- derstood, proposes to take some definite action to assist in breaking the price in New London which is and always has been from two to three cents high CT than in some other Connecticut cities Gasoline prices in Norwich are now at 30 and S1 cents.
