The Foreign Sailors Were on Their Way to Tarpoa Springs to Begin Deep Water Sponge

Pensacola, Fla. Feb. t5.--tSpecial: From reports received here tnls morning from Sf. Andrews 1t Is be- licyed that four Greeks who left here early in the week bound for Tarpon Springs, have been drowned.
 An upturned boat, identifed as tne one which the Creeks had when they left Pensacoia.i has been found driit- Ing In the gulf outside and about Tour miles from St. Andrews. and has been lowed to that place and is held await ing deyeiopments. This information was brought here this morning py J. |. Trousdale. who was the party to fnA the capsized boat adritt' ana he brought him picture taken rom a trunk which was in the boat at the time she left here.
 This hotograph Is that of the cap tain of the schooner and consequent ly 1t. Is almost certain that there is no mistake in the identific ton or inc schooner and as the accident hap pened several miles from shore 1t Is nnors than probable that the men were drowned.
 The Creeks purchased the boat year ago in Biloxi and converted her into a sponge fishing boat and used her during the summer and until the conmenceme of bad weather in deep water sponge fishing near Tarpon Strings Fla. With the commence ment of the hurricane season the men came with many others back to this city for the winter, and had Just started for Tarpon Springs for another season.

PASADENA, April 1s.-Mrs. Elbridge
M Fowler, reputed to be worth many
millions, returned unexpectedly from the
east this morning and spent the after
noon and evening at Pasadena with
friends. She left this evening for Los
Angeles, where she is stopping at the
Hotel Alexandria.
Tor the past few months, during which
Mrs. Fowler has been east, her house at
S63 Grove street, has been closed and the
popular entertainer has been missed in
the whirl of the winters social season.
Local society has been taken by surprise
at her early return from her trip and an
tlcipates more entertainments. 1t was
rumored that Mrs. Fowler would keep
open house and entertain quite exten-
siVely since she has returned, but she
has denied this.
Mrs. Fowler went east to see her
6daughter, Katherine, safely started in
Nassar where the young woman will spend
the next few years as one of the Jolly
Nassar girls. Miss Katherine has not yet
entered Vassar but will take up her
studies there in the near future.
Mrs. Fowler announced this evening
that she would return to the east after
a visit of ten day with her friends in
Pasadena. During her stay in the east
andria in Los Angeles. When she re-
turns to the east 1t will be to he near
her daughter at Vassar and she will prob
ably stay east until the education Of her
daughter has been completed, when it is
believed they will travel.
saturday Mrs. Fowler will entertain
the West Side Tennis club of which her
daughter was member The reception
will be given at the Hotel Maryland.
This afternoon Mrs Fowler visited
many friends and was entertained at din
ner by Attorney and Mrs John Fitzger-
aid at their home at 35S Grove street.

POLL TAX MAN TAKES
TOLL OF MUSICIANS
Snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
VENICE, April 1S.-Gyrations that left
no doubt but that every man of them
is capable of directing a high salaried
musical organization were gone through
today when the Italians composing the
Venice of America concert band found
their pay envelopes shy two big iron
cartwheels, which discrepancy they were
informed was due to garnishee proceed
ings instituted by the poll tax man.
The explanation offered by Mrs. Raipe
business manager of the organization
as to why and wherefore of a poll tax
was too far fetched for most of the
band men to comprehend, and those who
could be made to understand were en-
phatic in their views, expressed in ex-
cited Italian, as to the assessment be-
ing made applicable to them insomuch
as they are only temporary residents
and have no children in the local
schools.
There are close to forty musicians in
the organization and the total of their
contributions was considerably more than
was received from any of the other Kin
ney company departments.
