BEAUTIFUL FLOATS
BEING COMPLETED
Will Be Seven of Most Artistic
and Striking Ever Assem-
bled in Pensacola.

Wonderfully effective are the carni-
val floats, which are being built under
the direction Of A. A. Wrighton. who
has a force of seven men at work,
cararying out the designs and painting
the structures that are fast taking
form to constitute seven of the most
beautiful and striking floats ever as
sembIed in Pensacola.
It is not permitted to give even SO
much as a hint as to what the spec
tacle Will be which viii be presented
on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. IS,
but magic has already been wrought
at the tabernacle, where the construc-
ton work is going on. two of the floats
already having been completed and the
artist having finished the painting OF
one of these.
In undertaking the construction and
painting OF the floats, Mr.. Wrighton
had only the mere foundation on which
to work and under his direction the
force engaged in the work has built
the floats, carried out the various de-
signs and painted the structures, and
at the speed with which the work is
now going forward, it is certain that
the floats viii be ready for delivery
at the appointed time.
To watch the workers, according to
The Journal informant, is interesting
indeed, for when the work on float
is begun the workers have absolutely
nothing but pile of lumber, some ex-
celsior, cloth, design. tools and some
paints and brushes. But with these
designs, and skilled workmen. the
floats are assuming forms that are
marvellously effective and beautiful in
form and coIoring, comparing favor
ably with any which have ever been a
part in any carnival parade in the city
in workmanship and effectiveness.

the meeting OF representatives of my
friends and war comrades my very
warm greetings and assurance of my
deep interest in everything that affects
their welfare. Only my physical weak
ness prevents me from giving myself
the pleasure of greeting them in per-
son.
ut must be not only a solace but an
inspiration to them to remember that
for our great cause they have suf-
fered.''

MISTRIAL RESULTS
In SECOND TRIAL
OF ARBUCkLE CASE,
Jury Decides After 44-Hour Ses-
sion That 1t Is Unable to
Agree on a Verdict.
FINAL BALLOT STOOD
TEN FOR CONVICTION
Movie Comedian Appeared to Be
Somewhat Downcast by
the Disagreement.
(sy Tho Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-The jury
in the second trial of a manslaughter
charge against Roscoe c. Arbuelxle de-
cfded at the conclusion of a 44-hour
session that it could not agree and was
discharged today with the final ballot
standing 10 for conviction and two for
acquittal
Arbuckle was accused of having
caused the death of Miss Virginia
Rappe of Los Angeles, a motion pie,
ture actress, who was taken i'll at a
drinking party in Arbuckle's suite here
at the Hotel st. Francis on Labor day,
1921, and died four days later as the
result of a ruptured bladder.
The case was placed on the calendar
for next Monday to be set for it's third
trial. Both prosecution and defense
announced that they would favor such
trial. So sure was the defense of its
position in the second trial. that it
submitted its case without final argu-
ment. This had an effect opposite
from the one intended according to
Nat Friedman, one of the Jurors, in a
formal statement "We thought that
when the defense declined to argue it
had thrown up its hands, he said.
The first 10 ballots stood nine to three
for conviction, and thereafter until the
fourteenth and final ballot, it was ten
to two" -
ArbuclS appeared to be somewhat
downcast by the disagreement. Mem
bers of his family were so yisibly per-
turbed that 1t was some moments be-
fore they greeted him or his attorneys
after the result was known. When the
jurors returned to court today they
looked haggard and worn and the lone
woman juror, Mrs. Mary H. Somers,
was visibIy nervous. A crowded court
room heard the result.
'Tn spite Of my own personal con-
viction it was my intention to be guild
ed by the opinion of the majority of
the jury" District Attorney Brady
said Had the majority of the jury
been in favor of an acquittal would
have asked for a dismissal. AS the
jury stood ten for conviction to two
for acquittal, it is manifestly my duty
to try the case again

est in whether Sands actually had
been here and, if not. why such state
ments Were made concerning him.
Sands had been sought for several
months on complaint Of forgery made
by Taylor. The director charged that
the butler disappeared after forging
his name to a check and that money

theory that Taylor was slain for re-
venge, checking of his possessions in

sons who surprised him in his home
and shot him in the back, leaving the
body to be found Thursday morning
