FLORIDA BIRD WANDERs FAR
A Purple Pelican From Key West is
Captured in Crawford County.

A strange bird is now on display
in the window Of Knaul's drug store.
1t is pretty creature about the size
of pullet. The body is of a purple
tinge. the legs are green and the bill
is bright yellow and red. John Kott
who has bird book believes that it
is purple pelican. native along the
coast of Florida. How the stranger
came to be SO far away from home
is as much of a puzzle as was the
finding of the handsome white swan
early in the spring.

Conner receiving his remuneration by

In the afternoon Mr.. Conner gave
a heart to heart talk on '.Seeing

to be one of the great features of
the meeting. They will largely be

THEATRICAL WORLD TROUBLED
Exhorbitant Rates Charged Theatri-
cal Companies Will Keep Many
Away

The conflict between the federal
and state courts relative to railroad
rates has placed the theatrical world
in a chaotic condition. Many of the
large theatrical companies have
changed their entire routes, and will
not visit that part of the country
where the rate question is unsettled
Under existing conditions the rail-
roads can offer nothing but regular
tariff rate
The local rate in many instances
is 81 and 4 cents mile. A num-
Der Of managers OF the larger theat-
rical companies formed an organiza-
ton with the view OF making some
arrangement with the railroads
whereby they could secure rates at
which some profit could come to the
theatrical manager; their contention
being that the larger cities wer. so
wide apart that the entire portion of
the theatrical companies receipts
from one night stands would be abb
sorbed by the railroads charges
Al G.. Field, whose tour of the
South began a few weeks ago at Lou-
isville and extends to New Orleans,
ending the latter part OF October, at
first endeavored to change his route
through this section OF the country.
Not being successful in re-arrangine
his route. Mr. Field determined to
fulfill his contracts no matter what
the cost and tender the railroads,
through the sections where he had to
pass. the amount of fare charged the
atrical companies at the time he
made his contracts with the various
local managers throughout the
South.
Mr.. Field contends that his con-
-racts were entered into and the
terms based Upon the railroad rates
that prevailed at the time contracts
we're signed Mr.. Field contends al
so that it is a violation of the inter
state Law for railroads to exact full
fare as they propose to- do under ex-
istine conditions. He will test the
matter fully i'll the courts and the
outcome is being watched intently

Harahan also accused him of loan

Company of the Republic, OF which
he is a member of the executive
committee. He claimed that Fish
was unable to reimburse the rail
road, and one OF the directors loaned
him the money to enable him to re-
fund it, and was forcel.to carry the
loan for quite a while.

will be made on. a final test OF
strength. The friends of Gov. Noel
are taking some interest in the race
for Mr.. Noel, aside from their own
personal predictions. They say
that proper courtesy to the Governor
elect should dictate to members the
choice OF a speaker who would be
thoroughly in harmony with the
avowed and well-known policies of
the Governor. That while it would
not be proper to elect a speaker sim
ply because he was Noel man. yet
speaker shoEld be chosen who IS
at least not antagonistic to Mr..
Noelss yolicies. In other words, they
plead for fair test of the Noel gov
eminent policy and this can only be
had, they say, by the election OF a
speaker who will at least be willing
to make a fair test of them.
Mr.. Noel has some very pro-
nouneed views Among others he
favor an elective judiciary and has
long fought for it. He favors also
constitutional prohibition ultimately,
and statutory prohibt tion usow as
against local option by counties.
Mr.. Noel also favors some radical
changes in the primary election law,
and he will doubtless devote his en-
tire time and attention during the
next session of the Legislature to
get affirmative action on these sew
eral plans, in order that they may be
given thorough and fair test before
he goes out OF office.

question, accepted the proposition,
pushed the project, and is officially
as well as personally, aiding and adj

Mayor Yerger and Mr.. Spoon are
working a squad on Fish Lake road
just beyond the protection 1evee.
When asked about Mr. Spoons
opinion, Mr.. Yerger said, ''We have
not done enough to say anything
definitely just yet, but he IS pleased
and we will back him up with good
laborers and wood TO do the work
He now has a large roller en- route

Concerning the cost, Mr. Spoon
continued, That road / burned near

$500 per mile.
Mr. Clark continued the work
1srning some iour miles which cost
him between $500 and $4,000 PEI

While this experiment is being
made it would be good opportunity
for all adjoining courfies to send

Mr.. Spoon is interested in the work
because he knows what can be ac

Gave Very
Interesting
Decision
L. S. JUDGE DOLE DECIDED To-
DAY ON QUESTION OF SERVICE
IN AN ADMIRALTY CASE.

United states Judge Dole gave an
interesting decision this morning i'm the
libel proceedings brought by Jacob Ben
jamin Dole LaweliilH against George
L. Hind and James Rolph, Jr., doing
business under the firm name of Hind,
Rolph and Company.
The hbellant brought suit for dam
ages on account of injuries received by
him op February 16, 1905 on board the
schooner Kona through the alleged
.carelessness and negligence of the libel
lees who were alleged to be the owners
'of the schooner. Process was duly
served on j. S. Low as attorney in
fact for the firm.
Smith and A. Lewis Jr., as attorneys
for the libellees, filed a motion to set
aside the service of process made on
Low, on the ground that neither he nor
Hind, Rolph and Company We're the
proper persons on which such service
should have been made and upon the
further grounds that the court was
without jurisdiction. Five contentious
on which this motion was based were
given. The first was that there was
no provision under the admiralty for
| service or process on an agent of the
defendant in case of partnership; that
the Kona Schooner Company corpora
ton of the state of California, was the
owner of the schooner; third that the
firms of Hind, Rolph of Honolulu and
San Francihco were separate and dis
tinct firms; that the local procedure
does not govern as to the practice in
courts of admiralty and equity and the
fifth ground was that service of pro-
cess in admiralty cases is not govern
ed by local statute.
In deciding the various points the
court holds that legal summons had
not been made on the grounds that
service of process in admiralty can
not be made on an agent of the defend
ant unless the defendant is a corpora
ton and the court has not, therefore
secured jurisdiction of the case.
This finding granted the motion but
the court entered into a further con-
! sideration of the other points offered
/ The decision holds that as the con-
tention that the schooner Rona was
not the property of the libellees, that
the certificates of the San Francisco
Customs House offered to prove this
are inadmissible as evidence as they
were statements of the conclusions OF
the deputy collector Of customs and moi
certificates of enrolment or certified
copies thereof. The decision further
holds that two firms with the same
name and composed of the same per-
sons and engaged in the same kind OF
business are in law, but one firm.
j. Dunno and James L. Coke were at.
torneys for the libellant.
