odell can come to the Bronx with as big
a majority az did Roosevelt IN 1893, he
can win; but no one who Is conservative
thinks this IS sure Roosevelt with all the
prestige o. his war record, came to the
Bronx with 10000 plurality, ana carried
the state by only 1909. Today Odel IS
handicapped by most serious apathy "up

charge which puts him IN a discreditable
position.

Held for Rent.

Deputy sheriff Garrett yesterday
attached at Port Tampa ninety-six
cars containing phosphate from mines
of Citrus county, which were bound
for Belgium. Last night he attached
several more and expects to attach
fifteen more when they arrive this
morning.
The attachments were served in IA
vor of William Brooks and wife, of
Citrus county, who claim a royalty of
one dollar per ton on the phosphate
from the person who operates the
mine and shipped the phosphate. The
phosphate is valued at from six to
seven dollars per ton, and as the aver
age car holds 10000 pounds, the value
of the property attached is consider
able.
The affair seems to have been set
tied in Citrus county and the clerk of
that court wired that he had received
the necessary bond for the release.
and ordered that the ship be released.
Mr. Garrett consulted a lawyer, how
ever. who advised him not to release
the phosphate until the proper bond
had been given to the sheriff OF this
county.-Tampa Herald,
