LAKE cRTY'S PLAN


Quite large crowd of interested cit
liens of Lake City was in attendance at
a meeting Of the Board Of Control on
Monday, and including Hon. Geo. w.
Wilson and Hon. H. H. Buchanan Of Jack
sonville and Senator Frank Adams of
Jasper. The board, after receiving for
auditing a number Of statements of ac-
count with the several cities in which
educational institutions abolished by the
Buchanan College Law were situated,
made a visitation 70 the grounds Of the
Florida Female College, and later held
a joint meeting with the State Board
of Education, when the permanent To-
cation of the Deaf and Blind Institute
at st. Augustine was perfected by
unanimous vote.
At the joint meeting a proposition
was received from Lake City, IN the
shape of resolutions embodying the
same, which the boards, after due con-
sideration unanimously agreed TO.
The proposition, in brief, was for
Lake City to accept, in lieu of all claims
against the State Board Of Education
a conveyance of all of the University
property at Lake City belonging TO the
State; with and by the use Of which the
board of trustees named to receive such
conveyance shall establish and maintain
a chronological institute not in any man
ner to compete with University of Flor
ida or the Florida Female College Among
the trustees named are Hon. w. A.
Blount, of Pensacola; Hon. Geo. P.
Raney, of Tallahassee; Hon. Frank
Adams, Of Jasper; Hon. Geo. w. Will
son, of Jacksonville; Hon. c. A. Car
ron, of Kissimmee; Hon. w. L. Palmer,
of Orlando and J. r.. Parrot, Of Jack
sOnville, with two members of the
council Of Lake City, to be chosen by
that body.
We have not space for the publica-
ton in this issue of the entire docu-
ment, but may do so later. This solu-
ton of the matter should meet the APP
probation of the public at large, and
the board is to he congratulated on its
adoption.

shoulders, by strong men who have the
power to lift it?
How is she to rear these tender plants
when she has only bitter tears with which
to water them, and only a bruised and
broken heart to offer as support to their
clinging tendrils2
Do you fathers not consider that the
most sacred obligation of motherhood is
to form and develop the tender minds,
TO train and guide the hayward little
hearts? And are not our jails and re-
formatories filled because 80 many little
ones are denied this training? What
time will this mother have to devote to
this duty if such burden is laid upon
her?
And what of the aged parents, bowed
with years and sorrow? Gentlemen, il
you do not grant our petition not
another day Of joy will ever dawn for
them in this life; their sun will set in
gloom and the dark shadows gather
quickly. For them as for the mother
and the little ones your verdict will be
life sentence.
Consider the helpless ones! Every
claim save that Of mercy has been salts
fed in this case. The plaintiff is pros
porous and happy. No real injury has
been sustained Not another pang can
be added to the suffering Of the defend
ant. Surely you will grant mercy 70
TO these helpless, innocent ones! You
have granted it in more serious cases.
Even the destroyer of human life has
been pardoned by you.
We do not wish to weary you with
our pleadings, but how can we stop
when the Savior himself has said,
NJ La
heard because Of her much asking!'
Mrs A. L. Woodward also spoke, as
follows:
Gentlemen: In appearing before this
board Of clemency, some may criticise
and say we have stepped beyond our
sphere We fully appreciate that wo-
mans place Of duty is within the sacred
precincts Of the home; but in this case
we are deeply moved by its sadness,
and feel that our mission is q righteous
appeal for humanity and deserved
mercy. And thus we are justified and
right.
In your former consideration for
pardon you were bound by the rigid
rules of law 70 consider 1t from legal
standpoint; but we make no appeal for
the accused-only for the poor wife,
with FIVE little, helpless babies looking
TO her for bread, confronted by condi-
tions which make it a physical imposs-
bility for her 70 earn their support, pay
the interest on their mortgaged home,
and at the same time discharge a moth
er's duty in raising them properly.
We appeal for this poor, weak wife,
who has been true, faithful and devoted;
for her Ave little children and their fu-
ture welfare and correct raising; for
the heart-broken mother and father in
their declining years, now nearing
three score and ten, in their awful
grief and yearnings for their poor, I'M
fortunate boy. We appeal for the
stricken home, with all Of its sweetness,

HEAD OF MUTUAL LIFE REFUSES
TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OF
INVESTIGATORS.

New York, Oct. 17.-Richard A. Nc.
Curdy, president of the Mutual Life
Insurance company, was on the stand
all day in the legislative insurance
investigation and proved most un.
willing witness. In some instances
Mr.. McCurdy refused to answer ques-
t1ons asked or even to discuss the sub.
tect. While giving his testimony q
feature entirely new was disclosed and
this was that the Mutual Life EN-.
ployed a literary bureau to send out
to the press of the country news mat.
ter that was of benefit to the company,
It also developed at the days session
that the Mutual Life company paid
house rent at Albany for A. G. Fields,
an employe of the company. during the
legislative session.
Mr.. McCurdy was questioned at
great length concerning steady re-
dnction in the dividends paid to policy
holders by the Mutual Life, put he de-
clined to discuss the question, saying
the company's actuary was the proper
person to give information on that sub
ject.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Nc
Curdy was questioned concerning q
payment Of $4,000 to William A.
Fricke, former insurance commission
eE of Wisconsin. Mr.. McCurdy testi-
Ned that this payment was made after
the receipt of letter from Charlton
T. Lewis saying that Mr.. Fricke would
accept retainer 'sto see that the in
terests of the Mutual Life should come
to no harm" in that state. Mr.. Nc
Curdy authorized the payment Of the
money.

dies, joining the cruisers Jurien de Ia
Graviere and Troude now at Mar
Unique. This will give the division
i've ships under Admiral Bevoie,, de
Lapeyrere. The rendezvous would be
Fort de France, Martinique. These
preparations are precautionary, as the
officials here are still hopeful that
President Castro will make suitable
amends. Therefore no orders have
been issued concerning the nature of
the ultimate naval action against Ven.
ezuela, as these await the assembling
of the ships and the result of the diplo-
matte negotiations.
The duration of the voyage to Fort
de France will be about two weeks.
Therefore time remains for President
Castro to make explanations. It Is un.
derstood that the demonstration If
finally resorted to will take the form
of blockade of Venezuelan ports.
