uuuniii. To Be Transferred to New York FIRST DISPLAY OF KIND Whole Exposition of State's Products and Resources to Be Sent Up Florida will have a state -wide exposition of her marvelous variety ol resources and products, in the famous Madison Square Garden, New York city, next February, one week after the close of the annual South Florida Fair Tampa. This original and unexcelled opportunity to acquaint hundreds of thousands of Northern people with the manifold attractions of I lorula was made possible by the otfer one of this state's noted winter residents and property owners, John Ringling of Sarasota, who has offered to provide all the publicity needed, to arrange railroad transportation for the exhibits and to donate the use of Madison Square Garden. This last item alone i.s a magnificent contribution, as the regular rental of that location is said to be J12.000 per week. Mr.

Ringling, of Ringling Brothers, famous circus owners, has unllmitd belief in Florida. He conferred with D. Collins Gillett, a director of the South Florida Fair Association, while in New York. Then in Tampa Mr. Ringling, Mr.

Gillett, President W. G. Brorein and General Manager I'. T. Strieder of the fair association, held another meeting, with the utmost enthusiasm for the big idea.

Mr. Ringling saw the South Florida Fair here last winter, and he is in favor of letting still more people see something of it by making the proposed New York exhibition an annual event. Florida's New York show next February will be the first exhibit ol this nature on record, for any state, it is said, and its advertising effect will be much wider than simply among the crowds who will attend the display in person. The subtropical exposition will be especially effective by appearing in the North in midwinter. The South Florida Fair next winter will be open January 31 to February 9.

Dates fixed for the New York show are February 16 to February 24. It Is planned to take the exhibits from Tampa direct to New York, ex cept, of course, that in case of perishables such as fresh vegetables and other products, new samples will be shipped direct from the various counties to New York. Manager Strieder returned to Tampa Friday night from a visit to a number of counties, and he reports that Sarasota. Manatee. Polk and Volusia counties are already deeply interested in the plan.

He will leave tomorrow to visit counties in north and west Florida. Every county in Florida is Invited to have a separate exhibit in the New York exposition. Full Information on details of the proposition may be obiained by writing to Mr. Strieder. It is believed that the new plan will also help the South Florida Fair, as one exhfblt would do double duty for its home county at both Tampa and New York, except for perishables.

Florida poultry will also be shown in New York by the various breeders, and there will probablv be displays by different citrus exchanges and associations, said Mr. Strieder. NEWS OF MAncn if nu ou i WASHINGTON. June 16. Mrs.

NGRESS TO CUT IThis and Immigration Most Important TAX EXPERTS BUSY Plans are Formed to Decrease National Burdfen if Any Way is Possible WASHINGTON' Jim. ib Toott ad Immigration ara two subjects to wuii tuusreasionai leaders now In Washington are irlvln attnt-nn advance of the first regular session of xne new congress. Some of them are convinced that there is a widespread demand for reduction of the national tax bill and believe that the present temporary immigration restriction law should give way to one cutllnnlng a national immigration policy. Just what changes should be made in the tax law, none of the leaders now are prepared to say. But there appears to be an accord with President Harding's view that there should be general reduction along the line If possible.

Whether the tax burden can be decreased appreciably will depend largely upon the state of the rational finances at the end of this fiscal year. Taxation Closely Studied Treasury experts have the whole taxation subject under consideration but their work has not progressed to the point where they have The results of their study will be reflected in the tax recommendations which Secretary Mellon will make to congress in his annual report early in December. Restriction of Immigration Is to be continued as a definite policy of congress, with indications tht the 3890 census instead of the 1910 census will be adopted as the basis for the quotas from the various. European countries. The percentage these quotas are to bear to the number of the nationals of the various countries In the United States at the time of that census Is another question, however.

The bill reported by the house committee Just before the close of the last session provided for two per cent Instead of the present 3 per cent, with a basic quota of 400 for all countries. Some leaders regard this percentage as too low, with suggestions ranging from 3 to 5 per cent. The change of the census basis will operate to increase the ouotas from northern and western Furope and decrase those from the Balkans end other Mediterranean countries. This change is regarded generally in congress as desirable on the ground that Immigrants from the north and west are more easily assimlliated. In addition President Harding is ex pected to ask for action to curb tne "smuggling" of aliens as an aid Immigration authorities.

COMMISSIONER M'RAE SAYS ACTS OF PURVIS ADDED TO SENTENCE CALLS HIM INCORRIGIBLE AND TELLS OF ESCAPES Says Prisoner Was Unable to Keep Out of Prison and Would Not Stay in TALLAHASSEE, June 16. Commissioner of Agriculture W. A.

McRae today took cognizance of a published report that Moseley Purvis, who escaped from a state road camp near Cocoa June 12, had served two years over his original five year term. Had the prisoner 'stayed put" according to records made available by the commissioner, he would nave served bis term long ago, but the fact that he has punctuated his service his with escapes and sentences in other penal institutions during his escapes, added time to his sentence. "Moseley Purvis is an incorrigible," said Mr. McRae in an official (statement. "He was originally sentenced in Columbia county in 1916 for breaking and entering.

He appealed to the supreme court and it was not until August 27. 1917, that ho began serving his five year term. He was on ly 16 yearn old at the time and this coupled with his relation to the then-head of the state farm, caused state officials to transfer him to the industrial school at Marianna, October 13. "He escaped August 20, 1918, and the next word of him received by the state prison officials was that he was serving a misdemeanor sentence In a Washington county camp. While the state officiaJs waited for him to finish his term he escaped from the county camp, and was subsequently neara rrom in tne rederal pententiary at Leavenworth.

He was returned to the state farm August 6, 1921. ac-cordng to the records, and then on June 12 went away for another "vacation." Thus It will be seen, the Commissioner's statement said, "that Purvis has had a checkered career rather than being kept In prison over hie time. He seems to be unable to keep out of prison and also seems to be like the proverbial rabbit, hard to hold while he is in. He was to be freed January 8, 1923, had he not escaped the last time. If he is recaptured, and he probably will be, he will have considerable time yet to serve.

He deprecated the newspaper story that Purvis had served more than his time. It was absolutely incorrect, he said, and "unfair." Such articles ktend to "misinform the reading public," he said, and do "unneoca-sanrv harm." Seaboard Asks For $3,000,000 Bond Issue To Aid Subsidiary WASHINGTON, June 16 To help finance a government loan recently extended to it the Seaboard Air Line company applied today to the Interstate Commerce Commission for an issue of $3,000,000 in four per cent refunding gold mortgage bonds of one of its subsidiary companies, the Florida Central and Peninsular.

The Seaboard thus will acquire in securities of the Florida Central which It will pledge with the government. The balance of the issues not covered by the application are already hold in the road's IS NEW YORK Old Concern Owes Eleven Millions ASSETS WILL PAY OUT Company Has Been in Business 70 Years and Has Not Bucketed Orders NEW YORK June 16 Wall street In the midst of a many sided clean organization directed primarily at bucketshops was hit today by another failure that of Kanuth, Nachod and Kuhne, a member of the New York Slock Exchange and of the New York curb market Boasting a record of 70 years in the street, 28 of them as members of the stock exchange, the supposedly powerful house, with strong German connections, was forced Into receivership with $11,000,000 liabilities.

Assets Equal Liabilities A statement of the firm however declared Its assets were ample to meet its obligations, provided they were administered wisely although it was admitted that a large portion of them were "Blow" assets. The failure was the first involving a stock exchange house in more than six months, although there has been a string of curb and consolidated exchange failures. Unlike most of the recent failures, there appeared no suspicion on the part of the authorities that Knauth, Nachod and Kuhne had engaged in the popular business of bucketing orders. Their failure, it was indicated, was due primarily to unsuccessful oil promotions, and in a lesser degree to the falling market for Germanmarke in which they were most extensive dealers, in America. Big Banking Business Besides stockbroking and dealing In foreign exchange, the firm did a large international banking business.

It was admitted that a number of travelers abroad had put their funds into letters of credit issued by the company and it was feared these travelers, abroad would find themselves embarrassed for funds and European banks no longer would honor the letters. Just how many such cases there were could not be ascertained. District Attorney Banton rushed three of his staff to the firm as soon as news of the filling of an bankruptcy petition reached him and they obtained assurance from M. S. Borland, the receiver, that he would make no stipulations with the firm that would prevent disclosure of their books for his scrutiny.

The firm issued a statement declaring they would welcome such scrutiny, as they had nothing to conceal. Fuller To Reveals Facts The bucketing situation is expected to come to a head Monday when Ward M. Fuller, confessed bucketeer appears at a referee's hearing, ready the authorities hope, to tell all he knows about irregular operations in the street. There have been reports that Fuller, hoping to gain leniency when he comes up for sentence Tuesday, would make a "clean breast," involving a ring of higher ups, who are reputed to control most of the city's bucket shops. Fuller was silent in his cell today as to how far he would go in his testimony.

His partner, William F. McOee, who also pleaded guilty to bucketing, has maintained throughout a determined silence, declaring he pleaded guilty only to save innocent friends further difficulty, because of the case. Another development scheduled for Monday in which the Street evinced great Intrest is a meetng of the Consolidated Stock Exchange. at which action is expected on a proposal to put through the stock exchange and the curb, a rule requiring members to make their records accessible to the authorities. Government Boats and Rum Runners In Running Fight ATLANTIC CITY, N.

June IS A running fight in which several volleys of shots were fired, occurred early today between rum runners and government boats.

STAMBOULISKY DID NOT KNOW OF PLOT MADE AGAINST HIM BULGARIAN LEADER DIED IGNORANT OF NEW MINISTRY He Had Only an Inkling Of Revolution at Sofia When He Was Taken PARIS, June 16 (By The Associated Press.) Alexander Stamboulisky was completely unaware of the plot against him, telegraphs the Sofia correspondent of le Journal.

The late premier of Bulgaria had retired to his native village of Slavovitsa because of Macedonian threats against his life but he was accustomed to visit the capital from time to time. However, it was not un he tried to telephone to Sofie last Sunday morning that he kjjew something had nappenea. He was unable to get aj connection eitner with a neighboring town or the capital for the line connecting the villa and the premier's offices had been cut. As he pondered the situation an officer friend informed him of the revolution. Stamboulisky at first thought of offering resistance in the village, said the correspondent, but he realized that sooner or later he must surrender.

Believing in his own lucky star and ignorant of the developments in Sofia the premier hastened to Tatar Star-ambijik to get the garrison there to help him. He was haranguing the troops when a detachment arrived to arrest him. Stamboulisky tried to parley with the officer from a distance but the latter refused, whereupon the deposed premier and his partisans withdrew. The troops then made the regulation summons to surrender to which Stamboulisky's bodyguard replied with a volley. The skirmish, however, was short and without great bloodshed, although some wounds were inflicted on each side.

The detachment ws satisfied to keep the Stamboulisky guard under surveillance. The ex-premier was surprised when the peasants showed some hesitation but they had been nonplussed to see troops arrive when thev had expected Macedonians. Feeling himself lost If he remained, Stamboulisky fled in an automobile. His followers crowded after him but the chauffeur was shot down by the pursuers. Stamboulisky succeeded in escaping.

Dressed like a peasant, he made his way to the mountains and for four days succeeded in evading the troops. Wednesday's dawn found him on a near Panaghurlcht. When the peasants showed no disposition to conceal him, Stamboulisky hurried away accompanied by his brother and two other men. After wandering among the mountains for some hours in the direction of Slavovitea he entered a village three miies from that town. There he fell into a cavalry ambuscade.
