The lack of activity; however, is not
due to disinterest in the strike,' but is
the result of "the "sweeping-provisions

not only decline to give out state

strike, but will not discuss their plans
for combattnig the action of the gov

restraining order is violated by some

national of a total of 615,000 men em
ployed in that industry were today on
strike in response to the general strike
call, effective at midnight last night,
according to reports, In some instances
estimated received by union leaders.
Despite the federal injunction issued
at Indianapolis against the strike, the
leaders who generally stated they
would disregard it, asserted the strike
today would extended to more than
500,000 miners.
Exact strength of the walk out prob
ably will not be known until Monday,
since in many of the country's mines
Saturday has been recognized , as at
least a half holiday and work sus
pended altogether in others on Sun
days. Mine operators early today had an
nounced no plans for carrying on min
ing despite the precautionary steps
taken and promised by the federal
and the different state governments.
Neither -had they given out an esti
mate of the number, of men on strike.
Throughout the country the putting
into effect of the walk out was or
derly. No reports of violence or de
struct'n of property were received
and in many Instances a sufficient
quota of union men' was left at the
various properties, to prevent accidents
or damages that would result - from
stopping the machinery. .

reason to believe that-liquor is being

this I cannot do, and IT K is ue'

It you hear of any person selling
liquor here, or hear of any places. in
which liquors are served in violation
of law, please let me know by wire at
my expense, and I will Investigate such
matters and seize all liquors found
and arrest all offenders. I will do the

anybody else, and : besides all this I
will make investigations on my own

deputies by me. Mr. Hall left my em
ployment about two months ago.
About a week ago he got into a row
with his brother, a police officer, and
was arrested by the 'city authorities.
I do not know of my own knowledge
why this row resulted, but I have heard
it stated that Mr. Hall was angry with
his brother for arresting some negroes
for shooting craps. As stated above,
Mr. Hall was not a deputy sheriff at
that time, and is not a deputy sheriff
now, and hai not heen a deputy sheriff
in two months, so you will understand
that I have nothing "whatever to do
with him In that respect.
"2. With reference to the correspon
dence between Commissioner Pou and
Admiral Plunkett, I beg to say that I
have read same with Interest. That
was a controversy between Mr. Pou
and the admiral, in which I had no
concern.
"3. With reference to the reports
that liquor has been Imported into this
city and has been bootlegged around
the city, I beg to say that I believe this
to be true, and part of it I know to
be true .because there has-' been: sev
eral arrests by me and my deputies for
the illegal sale of liquor and because
we have confiscated quantities of
liquor from time to time, and because
the United States authorities have also
confiscated quantities ' of liquor im
ported through : this port. The . very
fact , that you Have heard about these
things is proof conclusive that we have
made a determined effort to detect
violations and apprehend the" offend
ers. The only cases that the public
ever hears of are those in which ar
rests result, because liquor is always
sold secretly and the public never
learns of it until the arrests have been
made.'.
. "I might say that doubtless consid
erable liquor is being sold here, about
which neither you nor I hear anything.
l-Such sales are always in secret and
doubtless exist. I suppose liquor is
being sold all over the state, and per
haps all over the country.,. It is im
possible, to prevent, absoltely the sale
of all liquor. All that I can do is to
make a determined effort to stop - it
and to arrest all offenders that come
under my obesrvation and ta seize all
liquors possible. I have not failed to

"Jacksonville has no claims what
ever and her only hope lies in the
sectional composition of the commis
sion. The commission named 'by the
legislature consists of five members,
two from East Florida (one from St.
Augustine and one from Jacksonville,
two cities lying side by side) ; two from
South Florida, one from West Florida
and none from Middle Florida. Jack
sonville manifestly believes that the
commission will be controlled by sec
tional Interests and influences, but
Pensacola is satisfied that Jackson
ville is mistaken in the character and

the centennial celebration exclusively
