victory in the state supreme court,
forcing the call for the election which
viii take place January 81, at which
time the qualified voters Of the city
will express their opinion at the polls
and decide the form of government
under which this city viii operate.
It was brought out at the meeting
that casting a vote for a return to the

not mean that Pensacola viii neces-

as permanent. But that it will mean
that the three commissioners who

Der OF speakers said that while they
were in favor of the commission form
in theory, they felt that 1t had not

Prohibition Agent Says Crew of
Messenger of Peace Could
Tell Wonderful Story.
tsy rhe AssoeIated Press,

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE British
schooner Messenger OF Peace, held by
federal authorities at Wilmington, n. c..
was described as one Of several vessels
engaged in the whiskey smuggling game
on the South Atlantic coast by Gen.
eral Prohibition Agent Il. L. Bergstrom
Of Jacksonville. Fla, in a report today
TO Commissioner Haynes.
MY attention. he said, s.has been
called TO the press reports of the case
Of the Messenger of Peace, British reg
istry.
This vessel for the past two years has
done nothing but bring whisxey from
Nassau and Mimini. Bahama Islands. 10
the coast OF Florida, Georgia and South
Carolina. and is listed by the prohibition
department at Washington. d. c.. as one
of several vessels OF American and Brit
ish registry engaged in the whiskey
smuggling game on the South Atlantic
coast.
III one of the members of the crew
could be induced to talk, he could tell a
wonderful tale. Personally I am not in
possession of direct evidence, but I am
sure that an investigation pushed by the
intelligence bureau OF the internal reve-
nue. department or the bureau of investi-
cation would reveal evidence that would
cause the government to seize this vessel.
''The favorite plan of these smugglers
Is 10 have two sets of clearance papers
one for Nova Scotia with cargo OF
liquors and the other TO some American
port In ballast. the liquors are disposed
Off shore and in some remote place and
the vessel puts into port in ballast and
clears from there Wish i was able to
give YOU more assistance. Look for two
sets Of papers on every one of these
smugglers."
Investigation OF the activities of the
Messenger of Peace along the lines sug-
gested by Mr.. Bergstrom will be pushed
by prohibition headquarters officials de-
clared
A list of liquor smuggling vessels oper-
ating in American waters has been COM
piled by federal authorities for use in
combating rum runners 1t was said at
prohibition headquarters The list now
comprises about twenty American and
foreign craft.
Names of vessels suspected of whiskey
smuggling operations, officials said are
reported to headquarters by field agents
and list OF the suspected craft is for
warded at intervals 10 prohibition direc-
tors OF the states bordering on the At
lantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts to aid
them in their activities against the IL

One OF the chief difficulties met By the
bureau were said TO be the facility with
which these craft change their names.
The Messenger OF Peace is among the
suspected smuggling craft listed by the
department. officials said.
