commodations for visitors The city,

Have Not Told the Truth.
washington, Oct. 9.-When the Sen
ate Committee on Military Affairs to-
day resumed its hearing of the charges
against Lieut.. Col Heistand, Maj.
Hawkes., prosecuting witness, was

buttal which he desired to present.
MAJ. Hawkes., in correcting his testi-
mony, had added a statement that
Judge Boyd was not to subscribe for
hemp stock, but was to receive it for
the use of his name. This called out
several questions as to the division of
stock, and Hawkes. said it was under
stood that the names of the other
parties were not to appear on the stock
books. To avoid this, it was agreed
between himself and Heistand that the
$15O0O0 of stock was to be carried in
Hawkes. name.
Senator Cockrell asked him why he
had not testified to this before as it
was very important matter.
Maj. Hawkes. said he had never said
anything to any of the parties about
the matter. Under close questioning
Maj. Hawkes. admitted he had said to
Judge Boyd that he was not to pay
for the stock, "or words to that effect"
He was asked what reply Judge Boyd
made and said he answered that it was
all right 'or words to that effect"
Replying to questions by Senator
Cockrel Maj Hawkes. said he had
been on very friendly terms with Judge
Boyd and would have spared him if
possible. He added that he was much
disappointed in the evidence given nv
the several witnesses before the com
mittee.
Senator Cockrell asked him how he
could be disappointed, when he was in
formed by all of them that they had
no connection with the hemp company
Maj. Hawkes. replied that he expected
they would testify differently
Don't you think they have sworn
to the truth?" inquired Senator Cock
rell.
Il do not" replied Maj Hawkes.,

tributed to the Florida Agricultural
College, at Lake City, for the purpose
of erecting a building for a gym

condition that the state should furnish
the money to properly equip the gym
nasium.

a warrant on the State Treasury for
their money and sent it to Gov Jen-
nings for him to countersign it. The
governor having doubts upon the mat
ter indited a letter to the Supreme
Court requesting a decision upon the
LEGALITY of the appropriation.
The court, citing various sections of
the constitution, concluded that it re-
quires law, with an enacting clause,
to make an appropriation, rather than
a joint resolution. with no enacting
clause.

the Florida State College, at its annual
meeting held in the chapel, elected the

This point should be remembered as,
after a certain time, evaporation seems
to affect the sweet nutty flavor Of the

vcred fruits.
The result in my case was simply as

ed Out by Ruling of Land Office.
Gainesville. Fla. Oct. "a decision
was rendered in the United States
land office Monday that may prove of
interest to many people throughout
Florida. 1t was in the contest cases
of Joe Clark VS.. Cage Clark and Tur-
ner Clark. and applies to the 10000
acres in the Arredando grant, Column

made cash entry of a half section.
which entry was cancelled in 1891, be-
cause Illegally allowed in the grant.
All the lands have been covered by
homestead entries of the above parties.
except in case of Jones. 1t is held by
the decision that the Dolby entry was
revived in the act of Congress of May
25, 1896, known as the Cooper act. and
that the land should be patented to
Dolby, his heirs and assigns. and that
all the homestead entries should be
cancelled. Possibly there are many
other bodies of land under the same
conditions.
