The special joint committee to which the matter was referred was given until next Tuesday night to make, a re port on the ordinances submitted for their investigation.

Nicholas hotel, Tampa street, was brought up. When the petition was read Mr. Etzler moved that it be granted. Mr. Turner objected, saying that it is well enough to have these matters take the proper course and be investigated.

The chair ruled that no vote could be taken on this until a report had been received from the committee.

Mr. Etzler then asked th.t Col. Robert Davis be heard. Colonel Davis spoke for some time on the proposition, declaring that Mr. Graham and his associates are anxious to have the ordinances placed on their first reading, so that matters might be expedited.

He called attention to the fact that the time for the expiration of the contract with" the Tampa Electric company is drawing near, and that Mr. Graham wants to i NEWLY ANNEXED TERRITORY IS VALUED AT $3,645,948 BY CITY ASSESSORS TOTAL INCREASE IS $4,577,000 DIFFERENT BOOKS FOR ANNEXED AND OLD PROPERTY Believed That Assessment Will Make It Possible to Reduce Millage a Few Points.

FEAR OF LYNCHING COSTS KIM FLESH MICHAEL ROSS SELLS PROPERTY AND WILL LEAVE Is Man Charged With Criminal Assault on Little Girl Near Anclote Discharged by Jury Accused by Ella Parker, the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Parker, of Anclote, of an attempted crininal assault upon her, Michael A.

Ross was arraigned on the charge Monday afternoon before the county judge of Pasco county at Dade City. There was a lack of evidence upon which to hold Ross, and he was released from ens-tody. Ross was represented by Attorney R. Percy Jones. He appeared without witnesses, while against him were four witnesses, including Ella Parker.

The little girl testified that he had committed the but to counterast this there was the statement of physicians who examined her, to the effect that no assault had been committed. The evidence was weak at a number of points. Last night Ross was a caller at Tho Tribune office. After examining the files of The Tribune bearing upon th case at his le-iure, he declared he had sold all his business interests in and near Anclote and would leave soon for the north, where he was born and reared. Ross declared the fear of mob law one too great for him in this section.

"I have lost fifteen pounds since this e'harge was brought against me. I have been in the jail at Tarpon, the county jail in Tampa and the one at Dade City, and everywhere I. have heard something about a mob after me. Yesterday I sold II my interests to my attorney and now it is the north again for me. A loss of fifteen pounds is too much loss in so short a time." Before settling at Anclote Ross served in the army with F.

Co. are seriously considering the advisability of establishing a large tobacco packing house in this city. This announcement was made yesterday by M. Kline, of the firm. Mr.

Kline has been in Quincy the past two months and there has superinteneled the packing of several hundred thousand pounds of the leaf at a temporary packing house erected by the company. The lirm believes it would be, profitable to do the packing in Tampa. In Quincy a number of selectors were secured from Tampa and other men employed at the packing house were secureel from other points. The firm has reached the conclus ion that it is better to bring the tobacco to Tampa and pack it here than pack it elesewhere and draw upon Tampa for selectors and various other points for labor. Climatic advantages enter also into the consideration.

Tampa is further south than Quincy and is more advantageous for the handling of the packing something like 2,000,000 pounds. Arrangements are to be made whereby twice this amount will be packed next year. This will necessitate the employment of at least 250 laborers. 000 FELLOWS GATHER II HVE Largest Gathering Colorado City Has Been Host to Except the Big Democratic Convention DENCER, Sept. 22.

COURT PUZZLES OVER "QUERID0" WHETHER AN ENDEARING TERM OR INSULT TO GIRL Justice Young Finally Decides That Equivalent in English Would Call for $100 Bond With the meaning of the Spanish word "querido" brought into question yesterday afternoon before Justice J.

T. Young in the case of Julia Doseda against Rodriqnez, whom she accused of imputing to her a want of chastity. the case consumed more, than two hours of the justice's time. There was an argument of opposing attorneys as to the interpretation of the word in English and witnesses were placed on the stand to explain its usage. Attorney Martin Caraballo, representing, Rodriquez, declared the word meant sweetheart, while R.

E. L. Chancey, representing Doseda, insisted that the word was meant in the sense of parmour. This was a word used by Rodriquez with reference to Miss Doseda, alleged Mrs. Rosa Gonzalez, of Seventh avenue, and others, at the Gonzalez home.

Mrs. Gonzalez testified that Rodriquez used the word about Miss Doseda while the latter was visiting the daughter of Mrs. Gonzalez. Evidence was also introduced to show that Rodriquez had referred in an insulting way toward the young lady while she was walking on the street with his sister. Attorney Caraballo did not place Rodriquez on the stand and there were no defense witnesses.

Rodri-" quez was held to criminal court on a bond of $100, which he gave without difficulty. Miss Doseda testified that the' de fendant had used her name trivially a number of times. Pretty and intelligent, she drew the eyes of all Who heard her. while she testified against her alleged slanderer. Early in the proceedings request was made by- (Attorney Chancey for ft, hearing behind closed doors and an attempt was made to have the hearing of this nature.

Ttoe warmth of the justice room, however, forbade this. The doors were opened and a great crowd congregated to hear all possible of the testimony. Mr. Chancey made the request, as he said, to save the young lady all embarrassment possible.

Pularo and L. Pularo, the names given by Sciaglione as those of his asailants. The asault occurred Monday evening in Ybor City, several stabs and blows being inflicted on the victim. Dr. Bartlett, who is attending him, reports his condition critical.

The wounded man does not bear any too savory a reputation. Several years ago, in an encounter with Joe Licata, one of the best known Ital-ains in the city, he stabbed Licata in the breast. A scar remains to remind Licata of Scialione and his ability in wielding the knife. UNABLE TO IDENTIFY JAMES Will James, colored, suposed murderer of Deputy H. C.

Edwards at De Land last November, remains in the county jail. Arrested on a charge of vagrancy and to have been tried yesterday' before Justice Young, the hearing was postponed upon request of Constable W. E. Campbell. So far no one has been able to identify the negro as the murderer.

Unless he is identified within the next twenty-four hours he will be released from custody.

NO CHOLERA IN FLORIDA Mixing of Date Lines Causes Erroneous Dispatches in the Press (Special to the Tribune) ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 22. AVhen the founders of the me-tropolis of the Pinellas pinensula christened the infant city St.

Petersburg, they probably didn't foresee the trouble they were tireertinp- for the residents of today. Claiming to be the real "health city" of the universe, with a death rate of but 3 in 1,000, only one undertaker and an almost abandoned cemetery notwun standing these facts, the little winter re sort of the Florida coast is now getting a lot of free but undesirable advertising which has created an impression that the town is being ravage-d by a deadly cholera plague. i There has never ben a serfotus case of cholera in the history of the town, and the false imnression is due to the puon cation of reports regarding the plague in St. Petersburg, Russia. Through ignor ance or malice, some of the newspapers have attributed these reports to this city.

and the citizens of the town and the ot ficials of the Board of Trade are being besieged with inquiries from tourists who customarilv snend the winter here. All of these inquirers are informed that St Petersburg is still on the map and main- tninine its refutation as the "health citi-" hut it is feared that the circula Uon of the erroneous report has already worked great injury to the city.

Seven stake events, worth $10,000, are provided. ther time on zir. nazu-i i offered at the last meeting of council, providing for the placing or ine ire of all electric companies" underground. for a convent tion every two years. The i first was held in Faneuil hall in 1902 and was attneded by John Redmond, John Dillon, the late Michael Davitt and Edward Blake, then a member of the Irish party but since retired on account of ill health.

The subsequent conventions were held in New York and Philadelphia. The personality of the two distinguished envoys from Ireland is well known to their countrymen in America. Mr. Redmond in his difficult position as chairman of the Irish party for eight years past has demonstrated a statesmanlike capacity which critics by no means friendly have admitted has not been surpassed even by Tarnell or O'Connell. Cautious yet determined an even and serious temperament has at all times steered the Irish national cause with a cool judgment and eye to success which hafe'not been surpassed by any previous Irish leader.

He teads a party today in Ireland united in policy as it has not been since the best days of Parnell's leadership, and the result of his able and statesmanlike leadership is shown in the results which have been achieved. He has visited America on several previous occasions, and from the time when 27 years ago he became one of Parnell's most trusted and able lieutenants down to the present he has always held the national banner aloft with fearlessness and without reproach. irti-ni Vt.k likpu-isp visited Ani- J'Ji I'll a-'- iiii on two previous occasions and has. traveled practically all over the country. He organized numerous branches of the United Irish league throughout the United States and Canada in the early years of its existence, and wherever he went proved himself one of the most popular delegates who ever came from Ireland on a similar mission.

Two years ago he visited Australia on similar" work and the success of his mission there had not bevn eeiualled since the -brothers Redmond went there as special envoys from Ireland, nearly 20 years before.
