The Volusia Record knocks
the present primary system of
nominations as follows: aNo
democrat of ordinary means can
ever hope to enter the race for
State Office in Florida under
the operation OF the present
primary system. The expense
is too great. 1t would bank
rupt him. AS an evidence of
this all the present incumbents
at Tallahassee, with a single
exception, have no opposition.
These iacumbents can afford to
make the race and have every
advantage. The.present primary
system perpetuates the tenure
of Office holaiug, and it is next
to an impossibiiity to dislodge
a State house house, official, I'M
less an opponent has a bushel
OF money to make the fight"

INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS
Stormy Night Prevented Several
From Being Present.

The installation of the Woman's Re.
lief corps, which was held in G. A. r.
rooms on Saturday, Jan 4th., with Mrs.
Electa Murphy as the installing officer,
was done in most creditable manner.
The following officers were in
stalled: President, Mrs Laura B.
Cole; senior vice-president. Mrs.
Carrie Burnham; juniorvicepresident
Mrs. Hattie Hudgins; treasurer, Mrs.
Nellie Clark; conductor, Miss Lucy
Cutting; guard, Mrs. Lima Morse;
press correspondent. Mrs. Jennie H.
Slade; assistant guard, Mrs. Laura
Lambert; assistant conductor, Mrs.
Laura Harmon; musician, Miss
Blanche Adams; color bearers. Mrs.
Almeda Trip and Miss Lizzie
Bushee.
The night being so stormy all the
officers were not present During the
intermissions between the Corps Post
and Sons of Veterans, who were in
stalled. Miss Nellie Coffey rendered
several solos, also instrumental music
by Miss Blanche Adams and Miss
Coffey.
A delegation from the camp in Viii
Jamestown was present and with the
Sons of Veterans helped make the
social hour very pleasant. One of the
pleasing incidents Of the evening was
the presentation of Longfellows poems
to Mrs. Maggie Sibley by Mrs. Cole in
recognition of her faithful attendance
at every meeting during the year of
1907. Coffee and sandwiches were
served.

kept the passageways clear. The ar
rangements were far better than at
the first trial, when the crush to get
into the courtroom amounted practical
" to riot The word that women
were to be barred had been judiciousiy
spread abroad, and there were none
but newspaper writers on hand. Last
year at the beginning of the trial wo-
men predominated In the courtroom,
and it was their insistence which caus.
ed much of the disorder of the opening
day.
Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, his
sister, and Josiah Thaw, one of his
brothers, called on the defendant just
before the trial was called and brought
him message of greeting from his
mother, who is still too iii at her home
in Pittsburg to come on for the trial.
1t was the first time Thaw had seen
his sister and brother for some
months, and his greetings were most
affectionate.
Thaw was called to the bar at 1:27
o'clock. His appearance showed little
or no change from last year.
As soon az Thaw appeared hfs CHIEF
counsel, Martin W. Littleton, announc.
ed that the former plea Of not guilty
entered by his client would be amend
ed to read that the defendant was In
sane at the time the deed was commit
ted"
Thaw was seated at the counsel
table with Mr.. Littleton, A. Russell
Peabody and Daniel O'Reily. District
Attorney Jerome and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvan represented the
people.
DIR. Fl. s. Crockett of Americas, Ga.
will be witness for Thaw. A mem
Der of Thaw's family name was con
fined in Virginia insane asylum
while DIR. Crockett was there as ply
stefan, fact which his attorneys are
DESTROYS Of establishing.
Justice Bowling decided that until
further notice there would be three
court sessions each day, as follows
From 1918 a. m. to ! p. M, from
p. m. to p. IN. and from 8 p. m. t
10 D. m. He also announced that thu
| jury would be locked up Throughout
| the trial.
Thaw seemed thoroughly to relish
] the idea of being out Of the Tomb'
prison after nightfall, his first expert
ence Of the kind since his incarcera
ton following the roof garden TRACED,
of June %, 1906.

BROWNSON TELLS
WHY He LEFT
THE NAVY
President Makes AdmiraI's
Letter Public
HAS SERVED FOR 46 YEARS
Medical Officers In Command Of
Hospital Sap, He Considered,
Detrimental to Efficiency.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE presi
dent has made public the following
letter OF Rear Admiral Willard II.
BrownsOn, who resigned as chief Of
the navigation bureau Of the navy de-
partment, with the explanation that II
twas inadvertently omitted" from the
correspondence just made public:
"In April last was detached by
your order from the command Of the
United States Asiatic feet and ordered
to Washington and appointed chief Of
the most important bureau In the navy
department, the bureau which under
the secretary is charged with matters
relating to the personnel, the discipline
and the efficiency Of the fleet.
This transfer from command
which ranks second In Importance
afoat to one which is second to none
on shore, coming on the eve Of my re-
tirement from active service while
not to my personal liking, was deeply
gratifying TO me. as II appeared to be
an evidence of your confidence.
"ln order, however, that any efforts
of mine to maintain a high standard
of efficiency and discipline In the serv-
ice be attended with success II Is abso-
lutely essential that | should have the
confidence of the service at large as
well as that of higher authority.
1.-The efficiency Of the feet can only
be maintained when the officers and
men feel that the chief of the bureau
of navigation has the confidence Of the
commander in chief of the army and
navy and when a strong military spirit
exists In the service.
Anything that shows lack of comb
dence or that tends to break down this
military spirit. which has been the
safeguard and principal asset Of the
navy since its beginning, can but I'm
pair such efficiency.
"The recent order placing a medical
officer in command of hospital ship
Is. In my opinion and as | have en-
deavored on several occasions to point
out to you, clearly opposed to the in
tent of the law, Is a radical departure
from the established usage and Is
fraught with danger to the efficiency
of the fleet. will tend, | believe. to
break down the military spirit of the
service and shows want of your con.
fidence in my advice regarding mat.
ter so vital TO the best interests Of the
service.
Il am left. therefore. with no alter
native but to tender my resignation as
chief Of the bureau of navigation,
much as I regret to sever my active
connection with the service to which
have been devoted and to which
have given my best efforts for over
forty-six years"
The presidents letter accepting the
resignation proffered said:
81 accept your resignation to take ef.
feet Immediately. You will this after
noon turn over your Office to your as.
sistant, Captain Winslow. informing
him that he is to act until such time rs
your successor is appointed and quail
fes."

District Attorney Jerome for the pros.
eoution and Martin w. Littleton for
the defense.
The jurors are Charles Il. Gremmels,
ship broker: John II. Hatchett, cigar
dealer; George Il. Norwood, importer;
Floyd S. Sanford, bank manager;
James Il. Conway, hotel keeper; Will
liam E. Brewer, decorator; Arthur +,
Naething, baker; Maurice Bowler, ex-
porter; George w. Cary, dry goods
dealer.
OF the above men 1t was generally
predicted that Mr.. Gremmels would be
challenged by the district attorney. He
declared he had scruples against CAPT
tai punishment, but could lay them
aside IL sworn as a juror. All Of the
men in the jury box are subject to
psrsnptory challenges, Of which each
side has thirty.
Legal insanity at the time Of the
tragedy Is to be the sole defense. This
was made clear at the very outset of
the proceedings, when Mr.. Littleton
formally served notice that the former
plea Of not guilty was amended by the
specification that the defendant was
insane when the homicide was com.
united.

CORPORATION
Vermont Law Upheld by U. S.
Supreme Court
RENDERING COMPANY LOSES
Decision In Famous Case Growing Out
Of Diseased Meat Scandals Of Last
Campaign.
COMPANY LOSES

Attorney General Clarke C. Fits of
Brattleboro, who is here at work on
the Mahan murder trial, has received
word from Washington that the de-
cision of the Vermont supreme court
in the case of the state vs.. the Burling.
ton Rendering company of Burlington,
had been sustained by the United
States supreme court.
This decision sustains the con.
stitutionality of law enacted at the
last session Of the legislature and
which provided that when ever the
state might bring an action against a
corporation the defendant company, II
so required, should produce Its books
in court.
The case and the law both resulted
from the diseased beef scandals of the
last gubernatorial campaign. The
original suit was brought against the
Rendering company In Chittenden
county court, but the prosecution was
not pressed at first for the reason
that the states attorney was unable to
secure evidence against the company
which was charged with selling for
meat the carcasses of condemned
cattle.
After the legislature had passed
the law requiring corporations to pro-
duce their books the case was again
brought before the court. The Render
ing company refused to produce it's
books on the ground that the law was
unconstitutional and was fined $4,000
for contempt of court The case was
appealed to the United States supreme
court and was argued before that
tribunal early in December, Attorney
General Fits appearing for the state.
The decision will be far reaching,
inasmuch as conditions which brought
about the radical legislation by the
Vermont legislature have and do exist
at the present time in other states. 1t
is highly probable that laws of a
similar character will be adopted by
other commemorative in the near
future, and that the beginning thus
inaugurated by Vermont will here
after be strong factor in protecting
the public against pernicious prac-
tees on the part OF corporations
throughout the entire country
The outcome of the case is also
highly creditable to Mr.. Fits. He
was the father of the law as passed
by the legislature and has fought the
case through the state courts and the
highest tribunal in the United States
to complete success.

ALBERT DUNN DEAD
Died at His Home on County Street
This Morning.

Albert Dunn, aged 7S years, died at
his home on County street this morn
ing. He had been i'll for some time,
but was able to get around quite a
little and no one expected his death
so soon. Death was due to general
debility.
Mr.. Dunn was b native of this town
and one of its most we'll known resi-
dents. He served in the Civil war, be-
ing, a member of Co. A, 14th Vermont
regiment.
Besides wife who was Miss Mary
Scully, he is survived by one son,
John, and two married daughters. The
funeral arrangements will be printed
