FLORIDA'S POPULATION

From the Philadelphia Press is
taken the following favorable COM
ment upon the gratifying increase
in Florida's population fer the last
half decade:
The returns from the census OF
Florida, taken in 1895, and only
made public, show that the total
population of the state last year
was 464 63o. AS the national CEN
Gus of 1890 gave the state a ropu-
Iation of 39I,422 the increase in
five years is 1927. Of this in
crease 46,6I2 is white and 26.6o5
is colored. This is q creditable
increase for a southern state, and
it shows that Florida is prosperous
and is being steadily developed.
The percentage of increase is rot
so large as in the northern manu-
featuring states, but it must be
remembered that Florida's inter
ests are most all agricultural and
that where there is only one indus
try population increases more
slowly. If the same gain shown
during the past five years is kept
up Florida should have in loco a
popul alton OF about $4,000.

FAITH AND HUMANITY.
The Motto of the Council Of Jewish

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S-"Faith and
Humanity" is the motto Of the national
council of Jewish Women, adopted at
today's session of the council, which
also decided upon badge, not to ex-

INDIGNATION IS AROUSED
Over the Arrest Of q Man Charged With
Murder
Spute Is Pretty Bad, but the Drowning
of His Family Is Believed to
be Accidental.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 1S.-Intense in
dignation has been aroused over the
arrest of Andrew j. Spute on the charge
of having murdered his wife and five
children, who were drowned by the
capsizing of boat on Smiths lake Oc-
tober 25th. Four persons who witnessed
the capsizing agree that it was entirely
accidental, Spute himself being rescued
with great difficulty.
A short time before the accident he
had taken out an insurance policy for
1000 on his wife's life. Recently it be-
came known that he was on intimate
terms with Nellie Davis, a woman of
bad repute, before the loss of his family.
This is the only known evidence against
him. When this was laid before the
district attorney and the sheriff a war
rant was sworn out for his arrest on the
charge of murder. He has not yet been
indicted, nor has chad hearing.
1t now appears that the case against
him was worked up by detective who
was connected with law firm which
he had employed to look after his inter-
ests and who had taken $100 from him
as retainer. Nellie Davis was released
under $500 bonds this afternoon. She
denies that she ever told anybody that
last summer. Her alleged statement
to this effect was regarded as piece of
evidence against Spute, as he had said
after the drowning of his family that
he could not swim.

THE GREENWOOD MURDER.

NAPA, Now 1s.-The defense con-
oluded its case in the trial of William
Roe for the murder of Mrs. Greenwood
this afternoon, thus occupying only one
day. William West, a gunsmith. was
shown the pistol which was found under
the railroad culvert on the road to Cor
della and said that it could not have been
Roe's. If the Roe gun had been bent, as
the prosecution alleged, he said the wea-
pom could never have been Strengthened
so well. In contradiction of the state
ment of Shaugh, who said he knew moth
ing of the case before Roe told him, n
letter to Sheriff Mckenzie asking if the
reward for the Greenwood murderer still
held good and if Greenwood was still in
Napa county, was introduced. Court ad-
journed until Thursday, when the case
will be argued. I twill probably so to
the jury about Friday noon.

trict Bondholders

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1S.-The op-
ponents of the Wright irrigation law
have, during the past three months. in
the anticipation of the decision handed
down by the United States supreme
court Monday, been taking active steps

George II. Maxwell, the attorney who
argued before the supreme court with
Joseph Choate for the opponents of the
law, states that branches of the organi-

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The Chronicle re-
ports that the following are the rules
for the arbiters forming a part of the
Venezuelan agreement
Tristan adverse holding of prescrip-
ton during fifty years shall make good
title. The arbiters deem an exclusive
political control of a district, as well as
actual settlement sufficient to constitute
an adverse holding or to make a title by
prescription.
The second rule empowers the arbiters
to give effect to rights and claims based
on any valid principle of international
law which does not contravene the fore
going rules.
Third-In determining the boundary
lire where the territory of one party is
found to be occupied by the subjects OF
the other party at the date Of the treaty,
such effect shall be given to such occu-
patton as reason, justice, the principles
of international law and the equities of
the case shall, in the opinion of the tri-
bunal, require.

THE FRUIT SEASON
Most Fruit Trees Have Yielded Very
Large Crops

Large Crops
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The agri-
cultural department fruit report for No
vember says:
The returns give comparative yields
of apples, pears and grapes and in the
main reflect the returns as to condition
made in the preceding months. In the
case of apples the standard of compar-
ison has been exceeded in no less than
eight or ten of the northern tier of states
which comprised the most important
winter apple section of the country In
other states in this region, as the figures
show the crop is at best only mediocre.
The returns for pears are nowhere as
high as for apples, but are generally bet
ter in those sections where apples gave
the best returns.
The grape is one of the most constant
fruits and as usual the returns show a
product more uniform the country over
than for either apples or pears.
AS compared with last year the pres
ent season has given generally large

Journal from Madrid gives the SUBJ
stance of an interview with the Span
ish premier, Senior Canovas del Castillo,
who is quoted as making the following
statement: 1.-The United States has
always observed correct attitude, and
it is to be hoped she will never cease to
respect the rights of Spain, of which
country the Cuban question is one of
internal politics. I believe the United
States will not change it's policy for the
sake of the Cuban negroes, and in the
event she did so, Spain will cause her
rights to be respected. So long as I
remain in power I will not make any
concessions or yield to anybody"
