For the sake Of The Pensacola Jour
nal, If for no other reason, Governor
Broward, who apparently has no very
flattering opinion Of the Florida press
in its entirety, should magnanimously
concede that the State papers are not
without their good uses. after all,
even, though some Of them are such
refractory sinners and persistent
critics Of his policies.
Without being in the least fulsome,
The Journal of Sunday makes the
Governor the subject of a leading ar
ticle reviewing his career during the
past three years and concluding that
he Is "the most remarkable man in
the State today" It is a capital tribute
from friendly source, and with much
oft even Governor Broward's enemies
viii agree.
Our chief executive is beyond ques-
ton man of strong character and
mentality. something of a Roosevelt
in his way, and with convictions so
intense that he falls into the error
Of sometimes impugning motives as
honest as his own and holding a we'll
maintained difference of opinion on
public issues as the crime of lese
majesty itself.
Governor Broward has no reason
better than his predecessors general
ly and other Governors throughout the
Union for disliking the press and max
ing it theme for his contemptuous
disparagement. He has been criticised
freely but fairly. as a rule, in his
public capacity, and this is inevitable
in the case of every man in high
administrative station. In fact, he
has been fortunate beyond many of
his contemporaries, for In his case the
storm of criticism that has beat upon
the Governor has always spared the
man and left his personal integrity
and patriotic desire to promote the
welfare of Florida unassailed.
The most useful function of the
press, outside its work as a news pur-
veyor, is not to praise and coddle, but
to use its argus eyes and its trained
to find the faults and
flaws and weakness in mundane
things, including Governors and
their policies, with view to
their correction. And If there
we're no newspapers to perform
this thankless task for the great
body Of the people It is as sure as
sunrise that things would soon get
In very bad way in this country; |
honest representative government
would go to the dogs, and out of the
chaos would sooner or
ater rise the despotism Of a one-man
power, which free press, honest in
purpose, and fearless, even though /
often wrong in criticism. is now the
chief agent in making a practical Inn
possibility.
We don't know what the people OF
Florida are going to do with this big,
'esolute Governor up at Tallahassee
after his next term expires, and he
he has preserved a fascinating silence
Is to his own future ambition, but we
IAN tell him. with entire confidence
hat he should obey the Scriptural in
junction when he leaves the Cover
lors Office and love even HIS enemies
If the Florida press. for not one Of
hem but has helped 20 add to his
political bulk and prestige, and II the
that has enraged him had
been withheld. he would have been de-
1rived Of one Of the most effective
agencies for making him a notable
igure in the annals Of his State. Il

MAN SHOT IN
PISTOL DUEL
WALTER JONES ACCUSED OF
CRIME
Victim Is A. M. Graft, a Painter, Who
Says He Was Attacked Without
Warning-Ten Shots
Exchanged
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 3.-A. M. Graft, a
painter residing at 707 West Sixth
street, Los Angeles, was shot tonight
at the Arroyo Verde springs in South
Pasadena, by a man with whom he
had an alteration and who is said to
be Walter Jones, a councilman and
Jones, however, when arrested tonight,
denied all knowledge of the attack. He
admitted having heard the shots, but
explained that he paid no attention
to them, thinking merely that someone
had begun to celebrate the Fourth,
slightly in advance of the calendar.
In all six shots were fired by Graft s
assailant, and the painter, though
struck in the leg at the first discharge,
drew revolver and replied in kind,
firing four times. All shots but the
first went wild.
Jones was taken before Justice
Glover at South Pasadena and was re-
leased under $1,000 bonds, d. q. Card
ner and H. A. Lancaster qualifying
as his sureties. Jones statement of
the matter is vouched for by his wife,
who says she was with him when the
shots were fired.
The attack is said to have been un-
provoked. Graft was on his way to
Covina, where he had employment, and
had stopped at the springs when man
drove up in buggy and started an
alteration with him. A moment later,
he says, lie man drew his revolver
and began firing. When the painter
returned his fire he whipped up his
horse and disappeared
CRAFTS wounds were dressed by DR..
A. D. S. Mccoy at the South Pasa-
dena police station. The one bullet
that took effect struck the man just
back of the knee and passed entirely
through his leg.
Walter Jones' preliminary hearing
was set for II o'clock Friday morning,
at which time the mystery may be
cleared up

WATER SCARCITY
CAUSES TROUBLE
Homes Along South Orange Grove
Avenue Are Said to Be Without
Supply for Domestic
Purposes
Pasadena Agency,
n North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907. Home 2124.

PASADENA, July 3.-Many homes
along South Orange Grove avenue and
in the northeast section of the city
have been totally without water for a
part of the time in the last few days
since the temperature has been soaring
above the century mark.
Strenuous kicks have been made to
the water companies on account of the
shortage, but no relief is obtainable.
The only consolation the kicker gets
for his pains is the satisfaction that
the company is not discriminating
against him. Hundreds of other folks
are suffering from similar droughts.
One housekeeper borrowing water from
another, who had been thoughtful
enough to save it, has been common
occurrence.
Both companies claim they have an
abundance of water, and to spare, but
neither could offer any practical means
of relief from the present famine. They
say the shortage is due to the fact
that everybody is trying to use water
at once and add that this condition is
only temporary. AS soon as the tenn
perature falls again. they say, normal
pressure in the water pipes will be
restored.

BOER WAR VET
GOES TO PATTON
Foreman of a Ranch at Sierra Madre
Goes Suddenly Insane and
Forges Check for
$1,000

Harry B. Schillito, said to be vet
eran of the Boer war, was yesterday
committed to the state hospital for the
insane at Patton.
He has been caretaker of the Fowler
brothers ranch at Sierra Madre for a
year and a half and until last Thurs
day, j. w. Fowler testified at the ex-
animation yesterday, he had always
been faithful and reliable. On that
day word was received by Mr.. Fowler
that Schillito was violently insane and
that neighbors were afraid he would
injure some one.
"When 1 went out there" said FoW-
ler, che had APPARENTLY recovered from
the attack, but he was hardly rational.
He complained that the neighbors were
conspiring against him and asked that
he be allowed to go away.
"I advised him to come to Los An
geles and he drove in with me in my
buggy, going to hotel to spend the
night"
Presents Check for $1,000
On Saturday Schillito appeared at the
Home Savings bank and presented a
check for $1,000 signed by 1. w. He'll
man. When asked where he had got 1t
he replied that he found it on a sheif
and thought he would have 1t casheu'
as he needed the money.
The bank officials, suspecting some
thing wrong, sent for policeman, and
while waiting for him to arrive en-
gagged in conversation with Semitic,
whom they thought to be demented.
When the officer arrived he ques-
toned Schillito closely about the
check and the latter declared that he
had written it to demonstrate to them
fellows" that he had the ability to do
so. He said, too, that he didn't want
the money and was willing to let 1t re-
main on deposit. He was taken to the
receiving hospital and later to the
county Jail.
In the probate court yesterday he ap-
peared quite rational, though unable
to explain the check transaction nor
why he had feared foul play at the
hands of the neighbors.
When asked if he had any enemies
Schillito replied:
"I thought had, but l guess 1t was
all Imagination"
He begged to be allowed to go away
but the court thought he needed treat
ment.
After the examination he begged his
former employer to ask the Judge to let
him go home and insisted that he was
able to take care of himself.

SMALL MUTINY OCCURS
ON STEAMER FASHION
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, July 3.-George w.
Hughes, recently elected president of
the Nelson Navigation company, was
called upon to settle small mutiny
which occurred yesterday on the steam
er Fashion at the dock in San Pedro.
AS the result of a quarrel between
members of the crew about 10 o'clock
the engineer took the wheel and with
the deck hand attending the engine
started back for Long Beach, leaving
the captain, Sam Spikes, sitting high
and dry on the dock, whittier they had
placed him by force.
President Hughes, having been noti-
fled of the trouble, started for San
Pedro on the steamer Nellie. He met
the Fashion near San Pedro and or
dered the engineer at the wheel to put
back in to San Pedro and pick up the
captain. This was done and the men
worked in their proper places through
out the rest of the day. 1t was re-
ported here that Spikes was beaten and
thrown overheard, but Hughes denied
this. Hughes said the engineer of the
Fashion was arrested in San Pedro
last night and fined for being drunk.

WOMEN LEAP FROM
BLAZING AUTO
BIG CARS GASOLINE TANK
EXPLODES
Burning Oil Surrounds Car and Occu-
pants Jump for Their Lives.
One Man Is Badly
Burned

A muffled explosion, flash Of fire
and a dense cloud of smoke, followed
by the shrieks of women and the cries
of men attracted great crowd at Maud
Junction last night, and when the
smoke had partly cleared away big
motor car, surrounded by blazing gas
oline and from which it's occupants
were escaping as fast as possible, was
seen.
To the excitement of the moment was
added the clang of engine bells and
gongs as the fire department in re-
| sponse to an alarm rushed to the spot.
| In some manner the gasoline tank of
a big touring car belonging to the Pull
man Motor Car agency had caught fire.
A moment later it exploded, throwing
the burning fuel all around and start
| ing a fire which destroyed the machine,
a $4,000 Buick car.
The Pullman agency is located at
1140 South Main street and early in
the evening David Boyd and William
williams of Gless avenue, with Doug
las Wilson of SIT Boyle avenue and
Miss Lucille Voorhees, and Catherine
Baldwin of Gless avenue secured the
machine for drive around town.
Tom Rowe, one of the best and most
careful chauffeurs in the employ of the
company, was in charge of the ma
chine. The party had visited Pasadena
and other suburban sections and were
returning to town when the accident
occurred.
Machine Is Destroyed
How the leak in the gasoline tank
started will probably never be known,
as the big machine was entirely de-
stroyed. The first trouble was noticed
as the machine was crossing the rail-
road tracks near the Roma hotel. There
was a muffled report followed by a
flash of fire. At first it was thought
that the machine had run over an ex-
ploding giant cracker and the women In
the party shouted gleefully.
Then great sheet of flame burst up
around them and their exclamations of
delight were changed to cries of terror.
The machine was at once stopped and
the occupants jumped from the MAJ
chine and escaped to the sidewalk. In
the meantime some one had turned in
a fire alarm and a chemical and steam
er responded.
The fire was extinguished. but not
before the motor car was destroyed,
David Boyd was the only occupant of
the machine who was injured. He re-
ceived severe burns about the face
and hands.
