Advices from the Jacksonville Automo-
bile Association are TO the effect that
immediate and effective steps must be
taken to put a stop to misleading in
formation which is being given out by
certain towns along so-called short
route" highways, regarding road condi
tions.
X. V. Goodson. chief of the engineer
ing bureau of the Jacksonville Automo-
bile Club, who has recently completed a
logging trip over two highways between
Jacksonville and Chicago, has made in
vestigations which have convinced state
automobile officials that certain towns
are supplying tourists with misleading
information, due to desire on the part
of these towns to favor other towns with
which they are associated

tions,. tourists are invegled into taking
these short routes. and pay dearly for
this transformation.
Such short routes will be taken up

lie, are expected TO take definite action,
looking to the elimination of such false
representations.

ASK COMMISSION
TO LOWER RATES
ton in the Price Charged for the
Removal of Gravel.

The county commissioners, through
their attorney. r. Pope Reese, have
taken up with the railroad commits
of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, and have asked that an effort
be made TO reduce the price charged
for removal of gravel to be used by
the county in hard surfacing the
roads which will soon be under con-
struction.
Mr.. Reese, in his letter to the rail-
short time the county will enter into
contracts for this road work. which
will require in the nefghborhood of
$4,000 yards Of gravel, and $4,000
yards OF sand, for construction pur-
poses
He called attention to the fact that
the gravel beds which furnish this
material are in the northern part of
the county, along the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. and that as there
is no competitive railroad in that part
Of the county, the commissioners
would be at the mercy Of the L. & \.
and what is termed in the letter, its
''prohibitive prices"
The county attorney has asked the
railroad commissioner to give to Es-
Gambia a rate based on pre-war rates,
which was so cents per ton. The
present rate is IS cents per ton.
Mr.. Reese declares that Escambia
will have a tremendous freight bill to
pay, when this money ought to be
used for construction of the road.
rather than an excess profit 10 the
L. & N" He declares that in other
states, notably Mississippi, the L. &;
N. and other railroads are compelled
to handle this intrastate traffic at a
lower rate.
In reply to the letter from Mr.. Reese
Hudson Burr, railroad commissioner,
promises the support of the railroad
commission in an effort to bring about
lower freight rates.

FILE LIBEL SUIT
AGAINST SCHOONER
Action by South American Concern
Grew Out of Business Transaction.

A libel suit was filed in the office OF
Fred w Marsh, clerk OF the United
States court. yesterday against the
schooner Willis A. Holden. which, ac-
cording to the bill of particulars. is
the property of John A. Merritt & 90
The libellants named in the suit are
the J. A Ewing & Co. who conduct
business at Cape Town, So,'t'7
and the amount named in the suit is
s25,570.91.
This action by the South African
concern grew out of a business trans
action between the two companies, so
the bill states, which took place sew
eral years ago. The 1ibellants claim
that the schooner Willis \. Holden
sailed from Gulfport. Miss, on or
about Jan. %, 1918, with q full cargo
of lumber owned by and consigned to
them. The bill further claims that
en- route to the African port she "en-
countered heavy winds and severe
storms and seas, and because thereof
was strained and twisted" to such an
extent that the planking was loosened,
causing leaks and placing the lives OF
the men and the cargo in danger.
Because Of the condition of the boat
and the ragiTT storm the master. of
the vessel deemed it necessary to jet
tison the deck cargo to secure the
safety of the lives of the crew and
the remaining part Of cargo: This part
of the cargo drifted away and was lost.
The vessel arrived in Cape Town on
May II, 1918, with the deck car~o
missing. The value of the cargo jetti-
soned was estimated in the bill TO be
s67 1858, and the part which was re-
ceived at $fS9,0S3
The libellants claimed damages
against the owners of the vessel to
the amount of $25,570.91, and in the
bill state that they demanded this
amount but were refused; the filing
of the suit for damages is the result.
The libellants pray of the court to
recognize their claim and to order an
attachment Of the boat to settle the
claim. 1t is understood that the order
has been issued.
f. j. LeEngIe, a prominent attorney
of Jacksonville, is proctor for the
South African concern, and was in
the city yesterday in the interest of
his client
