ENSTAlLMENT NO. 2.
Another Letter From Florida.

Arriving at jacksonville on steamship
Comanche we boarded the steamer City
of jacksonville and selected our state
rooms and took care of our baggage.
Then as we had about five hours to spend
before the steamer was to depart we all
enjoyed a trip around the city, Jackson
vile is a city of about 40, 600 people and
has improved very much since the big
fire of few years ago. 1t has a number
of very fine Government buildings and
compares favorably with most of our
northern cities. At o'clock we started
on the trip up the st. Johns river. The
stream was very wide until we left
Jacksonville about so miles or so behind
and then narrow and crooked for nearly
one hundred. and thirty miles to Sanford
the head of navigation, which place we
reached about ten in the morning The
st. Johns flows through nun erous
beautiful lakes and on the banks of
which we caught our first view of the
beautiful orange groves laden with their
golden fruit. We left Sanford at p. m.
passing Winter Park ;, Orlando, Kissim-
NEE, Lakeland and many other places of
interest arriving at Tampa at p. m.
The next morning we proceeded to look
over the city. The first thing of interest
to explore was the Tampa Bay Hotel.
1t covers nearly three acres and was built
at cost of over three million dollars.
The grounds comprise about forty acres
covered with beautiful shrubbery.
Another interesting building was the
post office, erected of Vermont marble.
The interior is beautifully decorated
with Georgia clouded marble.
Our next voyage was on the steamer
Manatee down Tampa bay via st. Peters
burg to Bradentown, our destination.
On our way we encountered several large
schools of porpoise that vary in size from
two to six hundred pounds. Will tell you
more about the country later.

SERIOUS RACE WAR
PREVENTED IN SOUTH

LOS ANGELES, April 6---A serious race
war irnpended for an hour tonight at the
corner of Santa Fe avenue and Leonard
street where 200 whites lined up In bat
tie form against 100 negroes. the cause
of the trouble being woman who later
gave her name as Mrs. Maggie 8. Marsh.
She is a white woman, married, the
mother Of a weak-minded daughter, and
the nefghborhood became informed that
she was living with one John Davis,
colored.
What brought about concerted action OF
the whites is not known. but they gath
cred in front of Davis house to the num-
ber of 200, in state of intense feeling,
and made threats to take the couple out
and punish them. One hundred blacks
r lied to Davis defense and prevented an
-ntrance being made to his house. No
lots were fired.
A riot call was sent in and twenty po-
Iicemen in charge of a sergeant were
rushed to the scene. Meantime, to save
the life of Mrs Marsh her brother swore
out a warrant for her arrest on the
charge of adultery. While the bluecoats
held the mob at bay in the street, detec-
tives entered Davis home from the rear
and removed the woman. She was hur-
ried under cover to the Central station
and locked up. The police then dispersed
the rioters. Davis also was arrested and

WOMAN S HAT
COMES ASHORE
Costly Apparel and Satchel
Found Floating in Ocean
Near Olympic Club Pier
FLOTSAM is A MYSTERY
Scott Page, While Strolling
Along the Beach, Discovers
the Objects in the Water

The finding OF a costly hat and hand
satchel floating in the ocean near the
Olympic Club pier yesterday points to a
mystery. The articles are the effects OF
a woman of apparent means. as they are
OF more value than one in ordinary CIR
cumstances could afford to purchase. The
discovery was made by Scott Page OF
q Eighth street
was stroiiing along the beach near the
pier. He noticed the hat afoat and be-
lieved it was attached to the head Of a
corpse.
As he reached the end of the walk he
noticed that the hat and satcheI were
floating short distance from each other
The waves were bringing the articles
ashore and with the assistance Of stick
Page managed to fish them out Of the
sea! The hat was made of dark material
with black braid, with a white aigrette
and beads. The satcheI was Of black
walrus leather. silk lined.
Page took the bag to the Park police
station in hope that there might be some
thing inside it that might reveal the
identity of it's owner. The matter was
transferred to the Central station and de-
tectives were detailed to solve the mys-
terry.
Page left the hat lying on the pier and
when the police were sent to bring 1t
back to the station IT was not to be
found. It is likely, however, that the
headgear was blown off the pier into the
ocean and sank.
The police made an investigation OF the
case and up to an early hour this morn
ing no report had been made OF a missing
woman.

ton bureau have discovered plans
for the wholesale smuggling of
Chinese into the United States.
The names of those involved have

major portions of the peninsula, a conces-
sion for fishing and the operating of fish

gradually work them over the. border ,
Inspector Engelcke of San Diego also
has documentary evidence to show that
efforts have been made by interested
parties TO bring from Mazatlan to En-
