PROPOSED CHANGE
IN CITY CHARTER
Resolution Before Commissioners to Al
low Voters to Vote on Preference.
At the regular meeting of the city
commissioners held yesterday at the city
hall, a resolution was unanimously
passed requesting the democratic execu
tive committee to have placed on the
ballot at the primary to be held on
April 12, question to be voted as to
whether the city shall change from the
commission .form to the aldermanic form
of government.
This letter was brought ' up after the
following letter from Commissioner Pou
was read at the meeting:
"Messrs. F. P. Sanders and George H.
llinrlchs. City Commissioners.
"Dear Sirs: Referring to the question
discussed at our recent conference I urge
the board of commissioners at Its meet
ing on next Monday to adopt the en
closed resolution requesting the city
democratic executive committee to place
on the ballot to be used In the primary
election to be held on April 12th, the
following proposition:
" 'Shall the city of Pensacola abandon
Its organization under the provisions of
law providing a. commission form of gov
ernment and resume its former alder
manic form of government?'
"I urge this action in deference to the
wish of the citizens who have signified
their desire to have a special election held
for the determination of this question
and to avoid the expense and trouble
incident to the holding of such special
election; also, because at such special
election only those would be qualified to
vote who were qualified .voters, at the
time of the last city election and In the
coming primary all who were then, or
have since, qualified or may qualify,
would be entitled to vote on the propo
sition. This is especially desirable as
it would enable the large number of
white women electors to vote on the
question.
"Tours very truly.
"FRANK U. POU.
"City Commissioner."
The following is the resolution as
passed by the commissioners:
"Resolved by the board of commis
sioners of the city of Pensacola:
"That the democratic executive com
mittee of the city of Pensacola be, and
it Is hereby requested, to place on the
ballot to be used in the primary elec
tion, which has called, to be held
on April 12th, next, the following propo
sition: "Shall the city of Pensacola abandon
Its organization under the provisions of
law providing a commission form of
government and resume its former al
dermanic form of government?"
i "2. That In the event the majority
of the electors voting In said primary on
said question shall vote in favor of said
proposition each member of this board
of commissioners, personally and official
ly, shall be pledged to do everything
necessary and as expeditiously as possi
ble to make effective such expressed
will of said majority; and. also, to have
our senator and representative in the
legislature of Florida to obtain as soon
as possible after said primary election a
special act abolishing the present com
mission form of government, and pro
viding the former aldermanic form of
government for the city of Pensacola on
and after the first Monday of June, 1921."

A C. -BILLMAN, of In-
diana, who says Tan
lac is unquestionably the
greatest . medicine he ever
heard of. ""It put me back on
my feet after I had practical
ly given up all hope of ever
being well again," he states.
' ( 'A
"Tanlac is unquestionably tne great
est medicine I ever heard of. After I
had practically given up all hope of
ever being well again, it put me right
back on my feet, and I am feeling one
hundred per cent better than I have
felt In twenty years. I have gained ten
pounds in weight, and every one says
I don't look like the same person.
"For several months I suffered from
a serious stomach disorder. I had no
appetite and couldn't eat enough to
keep up my strength. "Very often when
I sat down to a meal I would leave the
table without touching anything
scarcely, as I could not bear the sig.it
of food, much less eat It.
"I was losing in weight and my
friends would often ask me: "What
is wrong with you? Why are you look
ing so thin?"
"I also suffered terribly with pains
across th small of my back and over
the kidneys. It was almost impossible
for me to get out of bed in the morn
ing, as my 'back would pain me so I
would almost fall over when I would
first stand up in the morning. At night
my back pained me so it was almost
impossible for me to sleep. I would
lie first on one side and then on t br
other, and would roll and toss all
night long. I had almost given up and
thought maybe my age was against
me, as I had taken so many different
kinds of medicine without results.
"The first bottle of Tanlac didn't
help me much, but I made up my mind
to give it a fair trial. After starting
on the second bottle I began to fe.l
better. My appetite returned and it
looked like I could hardly wait for
meal time to come. In fact, I was hun
gry all the time.
"My back and kidneys don't bother
me any more and I can sleep like a
log now. Tanlac has Just simply made
a new man of me, and any one living
in this county can tell you the same
thing, as everybody knows me and
knows the shape I wag in."
The above statement was made re
cently by A. C. Billman, of Ligonier,
Ind. Mr. Billman has lived in Noble
county all his life and is a well-known
and .'highly respected citizen of that
county.
Tanlac is sold in Pensacola by The
Crystal Pharmacy.

WASHINGTON, March 7. Author
ity of the then postmaster gen
eraj to withhold second class mail
privileges from any publication which
violated the espoinage' act through
printing articles -tending to create in
subordination or disloyalty In the
army or naval forces of the United
States was upheld today by the su
preme court. Associate Justice Bravi
deis and Holmes dissented.
The court sustained the supreme
court of the District of Columbia In its
refusal to issue a mandamus order
compelling the restoration of " the
privileges to the Milwaukee Leader,
o which Victor Berger was editor.
The Leader In carrying Its appeal to
the supreme court was Joined by the
New York Call, a newspaper also de
nied second class mailing privileges
during the war.
"Whatever Injuries the relator suf
fered was the result of its own choice."
declared Associate Justice Clark who,
in rendering' the majority opinion, re
cited excerps from articles in the
newspaper as submitted by the gov
ernment in support of Mr. Burleson's
motion.
"The articles were not designed to
secure a modification or repeal of the
laws they criticised, but were intended
to stir up opposition to them and in
ternal strife."
Authority to grant the classified
privileges, Justice Clark held, carried
with it authority to withdraw them.
He declared It an impossibility for
the postal , authorities attempting to
scan each separate issue of a news
paper submitted to the mails to deter'
mine whether it was in violation of
the law as supporting the postmaster
general in making his order cover "the
indefinite future."
The criticism that the "due process"
clause of the constitution was violated
was declared unsupported in view of
the hearings held by Mr. Burleson be
fore Issuing the order.

MATEWAN DEFENSE
'ALLEGES FORGERY
Bank Clerk Denies Ever Having Seen
Warrant.
(By The Associated Press.
WILLIAMSON, W. Va., March 7.
Proceedings in the Matewan battle
trial slackened considerably today due
to lengthy cross examination of the
fur witnesses who took the stand.
"Dutch" Roeherer, a miner, told the
Jury that while he had taken no part
in the battle between Baldwin-Felts
detectives and residents of the town
in which ten men Were killed, he shot
twice. He said that one of the de
tectives shot him.
Dan Chambers, a bank clerk, testi
fied that the warrant presented as the
original A. C. Felts had for the arrest
of Sid Hatfield was a forgery. He told
the jury that the signature on the
warrant, "R. R. Stafford," a squire,
was forged.
On cross-examination, S.1 B. Avis, of
counsel for the state, asked: "I will
ask you if you did not assist in pre
paring that paper I handed you ((the
warrant) and if you did not help get
it up and write it?"
"No sir, I didn't have anything to do
with It," the witness replied.
"As a matter of fact, Mr. Chambers,
you put that signature, 'R. R. StafforT
on that warrant and wrot3 it in lead
pencil," continued Mr. Avis.
"I never saw that warrant until I
saw It here," Chambers testified.
The first shot fired in the battle
came from a pistol in the hands of
A. C. Felts, N. H. Atwoad testified.
Atwood, former defendant in the pres
ent case, told the jury that while Felts
and Mayor C. C. Testerman were dis
cussing the warrant for Hatfield, Felts
nodded to his men, who were nearby,
then fired at Testerman 'and turned
and fired into the door of the hard
ware 3tore. Both Felts and Tester
man were killed in the fight.
Dan Chambers testified that he was
in the hardwood store while Felts and
Testerman were standing outside talk
ing about the warrant. Testerman
said the warrant was bogus. Cham
bers told the Jury, and Felts "jerked a
gun from his right hip" and fired .it
the mayor. There was1 another shot
from outside the store, he said, and
then Sid Hatfield, standing in the
doorway on the inside pulled his pis
