The Buckman school consoiida-
| ton bill was the most important
feature discussed in the senate the
past week. II occupied the greater
| part Of Thursday in the senate,
and passed the house on Friday
Those who opposed this bill have
| no one TO blame but themselves.
The calls of so many state institu-
tons, making demands for increaS-
ed appropriations every two years,
would soon have bankTupted the
state, TO use a rather extravagaht
assertion. Conservative men IN
the legislature realized that the
time was ripe 10 call a halt, and,
wisely, they viii do 50 beyond a
doubt.S
Il is a fact we'll known to those
who are posted or will make proper
investigation that the state schools,
with possibly one or two exceptions,
are of little or no value to the great
masses of the people.
The real intention for the start
ing up of these schools has long
since been lost sight of, for those
who attend these state schools out
side the counties in which such
schools are located are, generally
speaking, sons and daughters of
welI-to-do people, amply able to
pay the expenses of educating their
children without aid from the state.
The new bill reduces the num-
Der of state institutions to three
the University OF Florida, at Lake
City; the Florida State college, n
Tallahassee, and the colored nor

HOST or TIE FAMOUS DINNER
GETS A HIPPODROME JOB.

since Capt. Chapman Broke In op the Feast
at sherry's He Has been Divorced
Now Yearns for the show BuSiness IN
which Grandpa BaFnum Made MiiiOns.
Herbert Barnum Seeley, who was onoe
somewhat exploited as gay young thing
about town, has got job as ticket seller
at the Hippodrome and says he is glad to
get IL. Mr.. Seeley IL most widely known
as the host Of the once famous Seeley dinner
at Shery's, where one Little Egypt was
said to have danced a naughty dance, and
Capt Whislrers Chapman broke In with a
squad Of police and declared that Mr.. Seeley
ought to be ashamed of himself Mr..
Seeley Is a grandson Of Phineas T. Barnum,
and inherited one-ninth Of the great show
mans fortune OF 100000.
In explaining his application for a Job
TO Frederic Thompson, Mr.. Seeley said that
the show fever seemed 10 be in his blood
and that be wanted to get back into the
traces in which his grandfather hauled
fame and riches. Mr.. Thompson thought
that Mr.. Seeley was joking and did not treat
the application seriously. Soon there
after food Of letters recommending Mr..
seeley came down upon the Thompson a
from John w. Gates, who is one Of the oor-
poration which put up the HippOdrome
Building.
Mr. Seeley was asked what be wanted TO
do. He didn't care, he said, 30 long ~ he
had a chance 10 learn the business from
somewhere near the bottom-salary was no
object He has been put on the rolls as
ticket seller at one Of the eight ticket win
dows in the Hippodrome lobby.
He first got his name into the papers
a whole lot when he undertook TO give q
dinner to celebrate the approach Of the
wedding Of his brother, Clinton Barnum
Seeley, at Sherry's in 1895. Annabelle
Moore, who has been noted ever since for
her modest and viTtuous conduct, TO
ported to Capt. Chapman that the dinner
was going to be just awful. Capt. Chap
man went In and stories have always diff
fered as to what he found. There was an
extensive muss in the Roosevelt Parker
Andrews police board over the matter.
Capt Chapman was tried on charges and
absolved from all blame.
Mr.. Seeley was married In 1900 to Miss
Lucie Mitchell. She got a divorce from
him in 1908. He has engaged in mining
enterprises in chihuahua, Mexico, but with
no great success. In 1902 he was sued
for a gambling debt said TO be owed TO
one Frank Rogers. The suit was settled
out Of court.
He Is a person Of great urbsnity and fine
presence. It Is understood that his new
employers took these considerations and
his finished manners into account when
they assigned him to ticket window.

NASSAU GRAND JURY FAILS
Governor Won't Hear Charges Against
District Attorney Coles.

District Attorney Coles.
ALBANY, March 27.-Gov. Higgins to-
day announced that upon the advice Of his
counsel, Cuthbert W. Pound, he had writ
ten to the committee Of the February Grand
Jury in Nassau county, which preferred
charges 10 the Governor against District
Attorney Franklin A. Coles Of that county,
that the charges were not suficient 10 war
rant him in making an investigation or In
taking any action.
The substance Of the charges was that
Coles refused, when requested, to pre-
pare indictments against persons charged
by the Grand Jury with presenting for audit
and auditing a false and fraudulent bill
against Nassau county in 1907.
In his opinion Mr. Pound said that II APP
reared on the face Of the charges that the
District Attorney had stated that the matter
had been previously considered and that
no investigation was proper under the cir
cum stances, The Code Of Civil Proceed
ure provided that the reconsideration OF a
dismissed charge without the direction
OF The court was improper. Therefore,
said Mr.. Pound IL should have appeared
on the face Of the charges that the charge
against the persons accused had not been
previously dismissed by Grand Jury.
Assuming that the matter was properly
before the Grand Jury for its confederation,
however, Il did not appear that the action
Of the District Attorney in refusing to pre-
pare the necessary indictments was fraudu-
lent or corrupt, or otherwise than in accord
anoe with his honest judgment. II was not
the duty Of the District Attorney 10 act
as the mere clerk OF the Grand Jury. II
the Grand Jury did not see nc to take his
