The Tampa Tribune copies a para
graph from the Fernandina Record,
IN which that paper stated that Con-
gresham Sparkman would be a can
didate against Senator Mallory in the
primaries next year, and adds the fol-
lowing comment: The Tribune is
ignorant as TO whom the prominent
Tampan alluded to by the Record
may be, but it feels fully authorized
TO deny the rumor published. Sena.
tor Mallory has no warmer friend than
Congressman Sparkman, and this is
saying a great deal when one consid-
ers the affection and admiration all
Floridians have for both of their able
representatives in the United States
senate" This will prove good news
TO Senator MaIlory's thousands of
friends over the state who have been
led to believe that the Tampa CON
gresham would oppose him for re-
election TO the senate This state
ment from the Tribune should put
at rest all the wild rumors about
Sparknar running for the senate.

tell you the other day about the good
luck that waited on private secretaries

Wolfe will make creditable career

SCHMITZ COMES BACK
Declares Spreckels and Court Are in
League to Down Him.

San Francisco, May Exchanging
that he is the victim of conspiracy on
the part of Rudolph Spreckels, f1nan-
cial hacker of the bribery-graft prose-
cution. and his associates by which
they expect to realize millions in pub
lie utility franchises, Mayor Schmitz
supports a motion for substitution of
trial judge, on the ground that Judge
Frank H. Dunno is disqualified by bias
and prejudice, notice of which was
served on District Attorney Langdon,
with these sensational allegations:
That Spreckels and the associates
who are with him the financial guaran-
tors of the bribery graft Investigation
and prosecution. long since exhausted
the original fund of 100000 pledged by
Spreckels, and have expended nearly
81 900, 900 in a municipal publication
campaign; that the expenditure of this
vast sum of money is by way of an
investment from which actual moneyed
returns are expected; that Spreckels
and his prosecuting associates desire
and purpose to overthrow the present
municipal administration in order that
they themselves may assume the reins
of government and secure for them
selves street railway and water fran
chises which will net them millions of
dollars of the public money; that Judge
Dunno is aware of this intent and pur-
pose, and is Herewith In accord; that
the conviction of Schmidt is desired
as a means to these ends, and that 1t
is the wish of Judge Dunno that a
biased ana preJuQlCeQ jury De selected
to secure such conviction; that for
many and various reasons, the same as
set forth recently by Abraham Ruef in
his application for a substitute for trial
Judge 1t is impossible for Schmitz to
have a fair and impartial trial at Judge
DUNES hands
The committee of seven business
men to whom Mayor Schmitz has given
full power to cope with the peculiar
situation brought about in municipal
affairs by the developments in the
graft investigation, will meet today. An
Invitation has been extended to a num-
Der of labor leaders to be present with

took and the driver of the wagon as
to the right of way, took place shortly
after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and
the crash was heard for several blocks.
