TILLMAN'S NAVAL
BILL IS PASSED
ft Provides for the Greatest War Ves
sel That Can Ever Be Built and to
Be Known as "The Terror."
By Associated Press.
Washington, July 16. The senate
today passed the ''Terror battleship"
resolution by Senator Tillman, propos
ing that the United States build the
greatest warship possible under mod
ern naval conditions, to put an end to
the "race for navl supremacy."
Mr. Tillman's resolution directs the
committee on naval affairs to deter
mine how far shipbuilders and arm -orers
can go to build ''the very best
battleship (r cruiser the v.T-rld has
ever seen or will ever s?e," and pro-pos-es
to name the new ship the
"Terror" and make her the '"peace
maker cf the world.''
MAN AMI THE SOIH.
Dr. R. V. Pierce of tb-sLiio, author of the Common Seasa
Medical Adviser, says " why docs not the tanner treat his own
body as he treats the land he cultivates. He puts beck in phos
phate what he takes out in crops, or the land would grow poor.
The farmer should put back into his body the viiai elements
exhausted by labor, or by ill-health induced by some chronic
disease." Further, he sais, "the greet value of my Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is in its vitalizing power. It gives strength
to the stomach and purity to the blood. It is like the phosphates which supply
nature with the substances that build up the crops. The far-reaching action cf
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is due to its effect on the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. Dis
eases that begin in the stomach are cured through the stomach. A bilious spell
is simply the result of cn effort made by the liver to catch up when over-worked
and exhausted. I have found the ' Discovery to be unsurpassed as a liver reg
ulator and rich blood-maker."
Miss Lottie LTxi.-ei.t of Perth. Kansas, sar?: "I will here add ray testimony
cf the effectiveness of your remedy upon myself. I was troubled with Indigestion
for two years or more. "Doctored with three different doctors besides taking numer
ous kinds of so-called ' stomach cures ' but received no perma:tent relief. I was run
down, could not sleep at night with the pain in my chest, caused by gas on the stom
ach. Was weak, could cat scarcely anything although I was hungry nearly all tko
time. About one year and a half ago I began taking your ' Golden Medical Discov
eryand after having taken several bottles am ne'ariy cured of stomach trouble.
Can now eut without distress and have gained fifteen pounds In weight.
1 thank you for your remedy and wish you all success in your Kood work.'

THE MIRAMICH! LOADED WITH
6C0.000 FEET OF SAWN TIMBER
AND 400 TONS OF BUNKER COAL
IN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.
Quick dispatch was given the steam
er Jliramichi. which entered port yes
terday morning consigned to John A.
Merritt &- Co. The vessel came from
Galveston, where she was unable f
complete her cargo owing to her
depth.
Arriving1 yesterday morning the
steamer was loaded with 600.000 feet
of sawn timber and 400 tons of bunker
coal and will be at sea twenty-four
hours after entering port, a record
which cannot be equalled at any other
gulf port.

Residence destroyed by tornado at Regina,
blocks were leveled to the earth.
Many lives were lost, and in a few
instances whole families were wiped
out. The work of removing the debris
progresses slowly.
SUFFERED SEVERE CONTUSION
OF MUSCLES OF RIGHT LEG
WHEN STICK OF TIMBER FELL
AGAINST HIM YESTERDAY.
Wbile working on a vessel in the
bay yesterday shortly after noon. Fred
Humphries, a well known citizen, was
the victim of a very painful and
serious accident. A, heavy stick of
timber fell against Mr. Humphries,
striking the right' leg and causing a
severe contusion of the muscles above
the knee.
He was removed to his horn., at the
corner of DeYiMior and Yri',nt streets,
where he was attended by Drs. Htrj?is
and D'AIemberte and late yesterday
a'.terr.oon he was reported as doins
as well as could Vie exported.
It was retorted that bis leg was
Vroken, but the physicians found th:t
such was not. the case when they ex
amined him.
JOHN H. HAMMOND
MAY BE TREASURER
wohn Hays Hamrrond.
Were it not for the fact that he is
an easterner, John Hays Hammond
would stand an excellent chance of
being chosen treasurer of the Republi
can national committee. He has long
been prominent in the councils of the
Republican party and is a personal
friend of President Taft. However,
in view of the fact that both the
chairman and secretary of the com
mittee are eastern men, it may be
thought advisable to select a western
er for the treasurership job.
Xo matter whether he Is chosen
treasurer or not, Mr. Hammond will
take an active part in the present
presidential campaign just as he ha3
in former years.
$48 FINES IN THE

"Watson.Parker Reese Co.
gX3
campaign contributor, did you not?"
inquired Senator Paynter.
"I ciid. I remember as a boy attend
ing: the convention of 1868."
Mr. Belmont was unable to give an
accurate estimate of the total of the
funds at the disposal of the Demo
cratic national committee in 1904.
When Senator Clapp asked 'if it were
a million dollars, Mr. Belmont
"puessed" it was not more than $600,
000 or $700,000.
"I never asked for the specific
amount," added Mr. Belmont by way
of explanation. "You see these things
are not conducted like a business con
cern. Keeping: accounts is expensive
and I doubt if any committee ever did
it before it was under obligation to do
so."
Mr. Belmont produced a memoran
dum that on March 26, 1906. $447.30
was turned over to him as the rem
nant of the Democratic war funds. Mr.
Belmont had then been selected as
treasurer of the national committee.
He disbursed $28, leaving $419.30 which
he turned over January 18, 1908, to W.
H. O'Brien, treasurer, for the presiden
tial fight.
When asked If he could remember
any contributions from individuals or
corporations, Mr. Belmont replied
there were none from corporations.
"Any from individuals for corpora
tions?" asked Senator Clapp.
"Xo yes," replied the witness.
"From whom?" Insisted Senator
Clapp.
"Henry Havemeyer, but it was re
turned. I remember a discussion in
Mr. Tas'sart's room to the effect that
the contribution was regarded as un
desirable." Mr. Belmont estimated the Have
meyer contribution at $10,000. He re
called that he had asked Morton F.
Plant for a corrtributicn and "got prob
ably $2,500."
"Did you solicit money from your
friends and acquaintances?" asked
Senator Clapp.
"Some, yes."
He mentioned the names of several
New Yorkers. Wall street, he aaM,
gave little.
"Who was the mogt active in rais
ing funds?" the chairman asked.
"Oh, that la a thing no one devotes
all his time to. Every Democrat was
supposed to contribute."
Tomorrow Postmaster General Frank
M. Hitchcock, chairman of the Repub
lican national committee In 1908, will
testify.

CITY SHOULD NOT BE IN SANI
TARY CONDITION AND OFFI
CIALS INTEND TO SEE THAT
THEY ARE.
There is no reason why the premises
of any resident of Pensacola should
not be in first-class sanitary condi
tion today, as yesterday was the day
designated by Mayor Frank Reilly in
his proclamation ax clean-up day and
the weather could not have been bet
ter for such a purpose. The city set
the example by having all city prop
erty given a thorough cleaning up and
it Is thought that the majority of real,
dents followed the example and com
plied with the proclamation.
People who do not live within the
limits covered by the garbage con
tractor, but who are within the city
limits, may have the trash taken from
their premises on yesterday removed
by communicating with the street
superintendent, as the board of public
works has agreed to furnish city
teams for removing the garbage and
weeds from places of this kind to
day. Pensacola should be about the
cleanest city in the entire south to
day and it Is the intention of Mayor
Reilly and the board of health to make
it such, and persons who did not com.
