1 FINAL RACE IM roRnfW'scup BOND ISSUE OF TO 8E AT ST. Some three weeks ago the West Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce directors communicated with the Florida Development Board at Jacksonville requesting that the latter organization ascertain from their various civic and trade associations tljroughout the state their respective attitudes relating to the proposed state bond issue of $20,000,000 for improved roads. Also inquiring as to the reimbursement of those counties that have already constructed trunk line roads at considerable expense. This step was taken in preparation for proper material and sentiment to be used at St. Augustine at the State Automobile Association's meeting called for the 29th and 30th in that city, at which this city and county will be represented.

The head of the State Automobile Association is, also chairman of the state highway commissioners. Whether this project of a twenty million dollar bond issue is something in the nature of benefiting the particular interests involved by prolonging certain jobs in the highway department is a matter interests in South Florida are more or less concerned about. Here are some of the replies just re ceived to the questionnaire sent out Suwannee County Chamber of Com rnerce, Live Oak, Florida, July 14, 1920. A. A.

Coult, Secretary, Florida Development Board, 405 Consolidated Building, Jacksonville, Florida. Dear Sir: In reply to your esteemed favor, of the 13th inst. I wish to say that our Chamber of Commerce, which is a county organization, is heartily in favor of the state wide bond issue. I have arrived at this conclusion after talking with a number of the board of governors this afternoon, as it was impossible to get them in session today. We feel that this is a right step to develop all of the roads in the state and not only sections.

Very sincerely, (Signed) L. W. DOWD, President and Acting Secretary, Commercial Club of Mt. Dora, Mt. Dora, Florida.

A. A. Coult, Secretary, Florida Development Board, 405 Consolidated Building, Jacksonville, Fla. Dear Sir: Replying to youis of the 1.3th, I find after canvassing not only the members of the Mt. Dora Commercial Club, but other taxpayers, that they are all in favor of the road bond issue, but are divided in their opinions as to whether the state should reimburse the counties which have already constructed main or trunk line highways at their own expense.

As near as I can size the situation up it is about a fifty-fifty split, and in order to be sure of the amendment passing I am of the opinion that it will be necessary to make a provision to reimburse those counties that have already constructed main line highways that will be taken over by the state. Personally I am in favor of bonding the state for as much as can be used to advantage, the proceeds of the bond issue to be used tor building state highways, regardless of what counties they go through. I am not in favor of any money being used to reimburse counties that have already constructed roads, as I figure that the increase of land values and the increase in population has already more than justified the expense the counties went to. I believe every one will admit that had it not been for the road system in the southern counties of the state, such as Polk, Orange and Lake, we would not have had the investment in real estate that we have today, and our land values would not have been anywhere near their present stage. If I can be of any assistance in putting over this bond issue, kindly ad vise me in what way.

Yours truly. (Signed) R. N. WHITE, Secretary. Chamber of Commerce, Lake Worth, Florida.

Florida Development Board, 405 Consolidated Jacksonville, Fla. Attention: Mr. A. A. Coult, Secretary.

Gentlemen Replying to your favor, 13th. regarding the views of our Chamber of Commerce as to a state wide bond issue for roads, I think I can say without any qualification whatever that our body is a solid in favor of any state wide bond issues that may be necessary to give Florida the best system of roads in the United States. Our body has suspended regular meetings until September but the matter of good roads has been discussed very frequently, so that I am quite sure my opinion with regard to the sentiment of our members is reliable. Very trulv yours, THE LAKE WORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. (Signed) C.

X. SMITH, Secretary: Lake County Countv Chamber of Commerce, Tavares, Florida. Mr. A. A.

Coult. Secretary, Florida Development Board, Fla. Dear Mr. Coult: Replying to your favor of the 14th The directors of this organization have gone on record as favoring the $20,000,000 bond issue and Mr. Igou.

our president, as you know, is one of the members of the committee working (Cvatlrued on Pag Six) STATE at of a who pulled it down, but Horton scored the first tally of, the game by reason of tne prowess ot uiuoDy. toilette dropped Herbst's beautiful throw and through this costly error the runner got to third when he was out by a wide margin, on the throw itself. Lawrence got his base on balls and MacReynolds tied the score by coming in after Herbst caught Beard's long fly into deep left. Score 2 to 2. The Miami fans were now jubilant.

Pettit, the next man up, sent a high one to deep left and Herbst pulled it in, making Herbst's third consecutive put-out in this inning, and a perfect fielding average. Herbst is the most valuable man on the team. Foster Chalker, first man up for the locals in this inning, hit a hard one that Lawrence failed to pull in. It was an impossible catch, although the Miami second baseman touched it with one hand. Louie Van bunted out to catcher.

Kelly Herbst tried to bunt and failed to connect. A strike-out. Jimmy Williams got a hot drive over safely and advanced Chalker, but Follette popped out to short. Oh, for a hitter, a regular hitter, with two men on bases ready to come in. The seventh inning opened with three of the most dangerous hitters of the Miami team on the call list.

Hobbs lined one out to Ulrich, who threw him out at first. Davenport popped a foul fly to F. Chalker, who dropped it. Then Davenport lined out a two-base hit. Bandrimer hit one out to deep left and Herbst pulled it down.

Carl Horton lined a drive out to Follette who threw him out at first. Davenport was left on second. In our time at bat Ulrich, first up, got his base on balls. Chubby Chalker sacrificed and Ulrich, on this sacrifice, made the most sensational run seen on the Poinciana diamond this year, gain-' ing third by a close margin. Ulrich then scored on Terrell's "life" and the score was now 3 to 2.

Francis hit safely. F. Chalker followed with an other safe hit and Terrell, a slow run ner got to third. If he had been able to run he would have been home. At this juncture Davenport was pulled out of the box and Hathaway substituted.

Louie van Landinghan'i struck out. Herbst hit an easy grounder to the pitcher and went out at first. This was pulling out of a hole that looked certain for at least two good tallies. In the eighth MacReynolds flied out to Ulrich. Price hit a single which Louie Van muffed and Price, a slow runner, made second.

Lawrence struck out. Terrell appeared to be speeding up and mixing them. Beard hit an infield liner to Terrell, who threw him out at first. Jimmy Williams hit a fly to Law rence, who muffed it after a hard run, but Bandrimer was right back of Lawrence and dived for the ball, caught it in his mitt as it dropped from Lawrence's gtoye and then lost it. Follette presented the pitcher with an easy one to field and died at.

Hobbs out on an infield liner to first and Ran Van Landingham, of the Miami team's pinch hitters' Class of reserve men, was substituted for Hathaway, but went out to Francis by the aerial route and the game was over without the Invincibles taking their turn at bat.

Victories for labor's national non-partisan organization in fifteen primary election contests are claimed by Samuel Gompers an editorial in the August number the American Fedcrationist made public today.

Roy Milton, 29, said by the police to answer to the description of Eugene Leroy, wanted by the Detroit police as the alleged slayer of the woman whose mutilated body was found in a trunk shipped from there to New York, was arrested tonight in a local hotel. The arrest was made on an anonymous tip. The police said that Milleni had been taken to the detective bureau for questioning'. Clothing Property of Mrs.

Leroy Detroit, July 25. The clothing contained in the trunk, in which the body of the woman was shipped from Detroit to New York, was positively identified tonight as having been the property of Mrs. E. Leroy, according to detectives assigned to the case. Patrolman Leo Trumbull, a member of the Detroit police force and a close friend of Le-roy's, was said to have made the identifications.

Trumbull stated that Mrs. Leroy was formerly Miss Kathcrine Jackson, a southern 'girl, and that she and her husband lived at 105 Harper street, Detroit. This was the address given on the waybill for the trunk. A man's blue serge coat was found in the trunk in which the unidentified woman's body was expressed from Detroit to New York. It bore the label, "Browning Fearnside Palatka," according to the police who inventoried the contents of the trunk, which was returned here by the New York police.

The police took this to strengthen their theory that Leroy and Fernandez were the same man and that the South American might have spent some time in Palatka, Florida, before coining on north. The police are also checking up statements said to have been made to the police by Allen A. Tatum, a linotype operator of Alabama City, the name on' tlie waybill on which the trunk was shipped. Allen A. Tatum volunteered the information that he believed the dead woman was Josephine Jackson, whom he met in Birmingham.

He also said that he was acquainted with Eugene Leroy, which' was the name of the man who had an apartment with a woman at 105 Harper street here. The linotype operator denied all knowledge of the crime and said that he was willing to come to Detroit and give what aid he could. He said that he visited the woman a number of times here and last heard of her on June 4 or 5. Tatum said that he left Detroit June 2S. i No Charge Against Tatum Birmingham, July 25.

Expressing the fear that E. Leroy would take vengeance on him for statements made to the police here and telegraphed to Detroit in connection with the trunk murder mystery, Allen A. Tatum insisted on remaining at police headquarters throughout last night, and today he repeated his previous story. There is no charge against Tatum here and the police said that he could leave if he wanted to. Police Burn Homes Of Sinn Feiners to Avenge Shorn Girl (By Associated Press) Dublin.

July 25. -The military, who have been steadily reinforced, not only by men hut by armored cars, the latter being kept in barracks for the present, was the busiest body in Belfast today. Although a steady downpour of rain gave hope that the enthusiasm of the rioters would dampen, the authorities were taking no chances. The barricades in all the disturbed sections were strengthened with additional sand bags more wire was erected; more men added to the pickets, including seasoned soldiers. The precaution was not ill-timed for, early this afternoon, another saloon in the Falls Road district was wrecked and the premrscs of certain hardware merchants met a similar fate.

Police charges are ineffective and soldiers have been brought to restore order. WEST VIRGINIA MURQERER LYNCHED BY MOB Fayetteville, W. July 25. Win. Bennett, of Fayetteville, serving a life sentence here for the murder of his wife and unborn child, was taken from the jail early today by a mob and lynched.

The jailer was summoned to the sheriff's office and on his arrival was confronted with a demand for the keys. He was kept under close guard while the mob stormed the jail and removed Bennett. Then the mob, occupying twenty automobiles, carried Bennett to the old county poor farm and hanged him. He pleaded gniltv on July 22. CHICAGO ACT QUESTIONED BY Proposition to be Argued Today in Habeas Corpus Proceedings Before Judge Donnell Nesle Surrendered by Bondsmen Saturday Afternoon.

Federal Officer Charles II. Nesle was surrendered into custody of the state and county authorities Saturday atternoon by his bondsmen, who had given $1,000 bail for his liberty, on the charge brought by Sherilf Robert C. Baker for alleged violation of the cor-supt practice act in publishing or causing to be published defamatory matter concerning a candidate for ot-fice within eighteen days of an election. The act of surrendering the body of the federal officer was accompanied by an immediate application for a writ of habeas corpus tor his release from custody by Attorney Bobst, of Miami, and Attorney George W. Coleman, of West Palm Beach, and the hearing was held before Judge E.

B. Donnell of the circuit courc in chambers. Nesle's attorneys declared in their arguments that the law which forbids anyone to publish or cause to be published anytning detrimental to a candidate for election is a limitation or suppression of the freedom of the press. They are in this manner attacking the constitutionality of the law. It was found impossible to hear all of the arguments -m time to finish the case Sat urday, so the arguments will be resumed again this morning before Judge Donnell.

The defendant was released over Sunday under bond furnished through his counsel, but Officer Nesle will go to the county jail today, at the close of the hearing, as a prisoner of the man who caused his arrest until such time as Judge Donnell renders his decision of the application for the writ of habeas corpus. It would not be possible to apply for a writ of this nature unless the applicant directly concerned were deprived of his liberty, so that the imprisonment of the accused is merely a matter of legal form. Another Moonshine Still Captured by Deputies Deputy Sheriff M. Ji. Vcrner is the champion sleuth when it comes to trailing and running down moonshine stills.

After three weeks of search and diligent inquiry he and his assistant, Stanley Wakely, ran down and confiscated one of the largest moonshine distilleries ever found in this county, a mile and a half off the road to the county hospital northwest of this city. In this raid they captured three men, one of whom was "Tenderfoot," alias Shelly Davis. His activities in this case during the ipast three weeks led Deputy Sheriff Verner to believe that "Tenderfoot" was actively associated in more than one moonshine outfit, and after he had given bail in the sum of $250 for his connection with the large establishment in the backwoods Deputy Vcrner trailed him so consistently that "Tenderfoot" was never at any time out of sight of a "trailer." He was trailed through the back country to a point two miles or more west of the location of the big still captured a day or two ago, and there the trail was lost for the time being, because of the thickness of the woods and underbrush. The officers watched "Tenderfoot" at his work in this still, the latest outfit to be discovered, saw his prepare his mash and arrange his gasoline stove and worm, fill the stove with fuel and then leave the outfit in the thicket. Then Officers Verner, Galloway and Walker, after satisfying themselves that there were no associates to this latest venture on the part of "Tenderfoot," descended upon the outfit about midnight, making their way back to the moonshine still through swamp and underbrush with difficulty.

The "Packeii-ham" was still -cooking over the twenty-gallon outfit. They destroyed the outfit, except the worm, which they brought back incidentally found about 100 gallons of mash ready for the n'ext day's operations. The "still" was working right merrily even at the mystic hour of midnight. "Tenderfoot" then made his confession. He knew that Deputy Vcrner had "the goods" and the colored man, who is supposed to have profited largely by his activities in this business Deputy Verner that he had the thing figured down to a nicety.

He had the stove at the still so arranged with windbrakes as to keep the flames on the cookers from being blown out by the wind and the gasoline burners gave out no smoke as tell-tale evidence. He placed twenty gallons of mash into the still, filled up his stove with so much gasoline and had it timed so that at expiration of six hours, if he failed to appear on time, the fire wouM out for lack of fuel and his mash would be. by that time, converted into marketable liquor at six dollars per, quart.

Daniels Replies to Christensen Yakima, July 25.

The navy department has sold quantities of clothing to Poland but not war material and the sales were made before the trouble between Poland and Soviet Russia became acute. Secretary Daniels said, commenting on the charge made by Parley P. Christensen, Farmer-Labor candidate for president, that the navy department has delivered to Poland large quantities of material for use in the Polish attack on Russia.

RAT EXTERMINATORS ON THE JOB TODAY Foreman and Expert Rat Trap' per Ready to Instruct Volun teers in Art of Catching Rats Cash Awards in Addition to Regular Bounty.

The war on rats in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach opens this morning. The city will furnish substantial rat traps, bait and all supplies. A cash bounty of ten cents will "be paid for each dead, rat brought to headquarters in the old courthouse building, Poin-settia street side. A foreman and expert rat trapper will be on hand all day to coach and instruct those who have had no previous experience in baiting traps. There are thousands of rats in this vicinity, from the waterfront clear back to the fresh water lakes to the west.

They are especially numerous around the water front just now, it is said, and grow to enormous size. Volunteers should not overlook the fact that in addition to the cash bounty of ten cents for each rat, the city is offering special cash prizes every two weeks for the boys catching the greatest number. These prizes are graded so that fully twenty boys will participate in the cash awards in addition to the regular bounty of ten cents for each rat.

The Invincibles advanced a step further up the ladder toward the league championship yesterday when, in one of the most exciting games ever witnessed on the home grounds, the locals car ried off the honors by the close mar gin of 3 to 2.

In the sixth inning Miami tied the score, getting two tallies across the plate in that inning. The sensa tional base running of "Red" Ulrich, second baseman for the Invincibles, in getting from first to third on a sacrifice, was responsible for the scoring of the winning run in the seventh. The sensational fielding of "Kelly" Herbst, left-fielder, who continued in the game after breaking two of the small bones in his left hand, contributed largely to the thrills of the game from the spectators' point of view and final results as well. Mooty was batted out of the box in the sixth and replaced by 1 Terrell, the new pitcher, while Davenport, the "St. Petersburg slugger," fared as badly in the next inning, the Invincibles bat ting him all over the lot until Miami replaced him with Hathaway, a speedier twirler with lots of in-shoots and curves to spare.

Probably the largest crowd of the season witnessed this exhibition, for if the Magicians had won, they would have been tied for first place with the Invincibles and interest in this closely-contested race is just now at- high pitch, or an hour or two before the game it looked as if there would be no baseball because of the elements and after four and a half innings had been played rain again drove everybody to cover for five or ten minutes. Miami went to the bat first. The first man up hit a pop fly to Ulrich and went out. The second man up. hit a liner to Ulrich and went out.

The third man to bat hit a liner to Follette, who threw him out at first. Francis was the first man up for the locals and hit a liner to infield, where it was fumbled and in the wild throw to first Francis kept on to second. Foster Chalker, our new first baseman, hit to deen center and was caught out. Francis managed to score on Louie VanLandinghain's bunt and the wild throw to first that followed the effort to field. Herbst struck out, but Louie advanced to second with fast leg work.

A few seconds later he was caught napping on second, too far off the base and thrown out. In the second. Chubby Price, who is the "big Babe "Ruth" of the Miami aggregation, flied out to Follette. Lawrence struck out and the third man up was caught out on a foul tip by Chubby Chalker. Then our own Jimmy Williams went to the bat and made a clean hit through second.

Follette sacrificed, advancing Williams to second. Ulrich popped out to first and Chubby Chalker struck out. Oh, for a batter then" to follow Williams. Why the management should follow the best batter in the league, Jimmy Williams, with one of the is something the fans want to know. It's not playing the game.

In the third inning, the first man up for Miami went out to Francis on a pop fly. The second man up hit a liner to Francis and died at first. The third man up got his base on balls and then Davenport lined out a two-bagger. Things looked serious with two men on the bases, but "Horseshoe Horton promptly struck out, much to the joy of the grandstand. For the Invincibles in this inning Mooty, first up, got his base on balls, Francis was ordered to sacrifice, ad vancing Mooty to second.

F. Chalker sacrificed and Mooty advanced to third. Louie VanLandingham made a clean base hit and Mooty scored amid the din of much applause. Louie Van steals second and then Kelly Herbst, the old reliable, hit an iufiekl drive and went out at first. Score two to 0.

Fourth inning: MacReyuolds hit safely for a single but in the attempt to steal second was thrown out by a fine throw on the part of Herbst. Chubby Price went out on a fly to Louie Van and Lawrence took his base, struck by a pitched ball. Beard struck out and the tension was over. Jimmy Williams, first man up for the locals in this inning, hit the ball to infield and was put out at first. Follette went out on a pop fly to the catcher and Ulrich hit a hot liner to Lawrence, who threw him out at first.

Fifth inning: Pettit goes out, Francis to first. Hobbs went out, Mooty to first. Davenport, the opposing pitcher, a most valuable asset to the Miami team, hit a two bagger deep into the outfield base line at left, but Izey Bandrimer's liner was fielded by Follette, who threw the little short-stop out first. Then it started to rain and a recess ten minutes was taken. When time was called again Chalker, catcher, Hunted out.

Mooty tried to bunt and beat the ball, but died at first. Francis hit a hot one to Izey Bandrimer and the latter's clever fielding put him out. Sixth Horton got his base on balls and then stole second. MacReynolds hit safely and Horton got to third. Chubby Price, who looks as rangey as Texas steer, got two balls in succession and Mooty appeared wild and woolly, so "Doc" VanLandingham called him in and substituted Terrell, much to the evident joy of the 200 or more Miami fans, who hooted and whistled with evident glee over the "necessities of the moment." Price connected with Terrell's delivery and in of Resolute and Shamrock IV Take Sail-Stretching Spins for the Coming Content Resolute Has New Mainsail.

Pursuant to an official call, Colonel Barden, of the corps of federal engineers, with headquarters at Jacksonville, met with the citizens of this the Hotel Stuart Friday atternoon t0 secure information relative to 'the' construction and completion of a canal connecting the Saint Lucie river and San Carlos bay on the gulf coast.

West Palm Beach was represented by Jules M. Burguieres and A. D. Price; Fort Pierce by R. L.

Price, E. L. Collier, R. L. Goodwin and William F.

Stief and Stuart was represented by Charles Blakeslee, D. E. Wynn, G. W. Backus, C.

U. Cunningham, C. Vbn-Anglin, Dr. Newnham and brother, Mayor Stanley Kitching, J. Y.

Speirs, W. P. Gray, Bolslaw Miiichski, J. M. Dunham and Charles Curlcy.

Colonel Barden stated in his preliminary talk that measures should be taken to secure and place in his hands information called for in the notice of meeting, in order that it might be used by him in presenting the case. J. C. Hancock was chosen to compile these statistics. He said the government was anxious to secure facts as to actual needs; it wished to know the probability of the waterway being used enough to justify the large expenditure.

Colonel Barden seemed to thing the canal would be but little more than a feeder for railroads at the nearest points and of not much use in through shipments, but, no doubt, would be used much by yachting parties for pleasure trips. From first to last it was apparent that Colonel Barden's interests were with the railroads. He stated that double-tracking the railroads would solve the problem by affording shipping facilities, and also, that government ownership would increase the efficiency of the roads. Messrs. Burguieres, Collier, Hancock, Goodwin, Kitching and Blakeslee labored hard to show that timber supplies, and the increase of stock and crops would soon lie so great that no railroad could do the work.

In answer to the assertion made by Col onel Barden that the canal would not serve the purpose of shipping perishables, Mr. Blakeslee retorted: "We know that; and we know, also, the railroads could do that if the heavy ship ments could be carried in and qjit by water!" It seemed impossible for- the federal official to grasp the idea of the enor mity of the traffic at the present time, when only a commencement of the de velopment has been made. It was stated that the government has ini creased in the west, at an enormous expense, through the development of otherwise waste lands and what is needed in Florida is that the government immediately take hold of th big problem of possible cultivation of Everglade land and the utiliation of vast forests, -by making it possible to market the profitable products of labor.
