Florida Rife Range.

That Florida is to have a national
rife range is made certain by the re-
cent additional purchase by the Unit
ed States government of 1913 Is acres
at Black Point, on the st. Johns, and
within sight of Jacksonville The gov
eminent already owns 400 acres there.
and with the 300 acres bought by
Jacksonville Board of Trade, for that
purpose, the tract set aside for per-
manent camp ground and target range
for state and national troops, COM
prises nearly 900 acres. This rifle
range, affording, as it does, an oppor-
tunity for rife practice in winter, VIII
become in a few years as famous as
the one at Sea Girt, N j., or that az
Camp Perry, in Ohio. No better site
for a permanent camping ground and
a rife range could be found Sin the
South than the one which includes
Black and Stoney Points. The fact
that the national government now
owns nearly 500 acres OF that PENN
sula, purchased for the purpose of es-
tablishing rifle range, makes it Ger.
tain that one will be established II

dition for that purpose. The state leg

All Expense of North E Street
Improvement Would Be
SaddIed on the City and
Street Car Company.
NO LEGAL AUTHORITY
TO TAKE ON EXPENSE.
Citizens Would Object If Prac-
tiCa!Iy All Expense of the
Improvement Fell on the
City, Board Says.

1t is regarded as certain that the
accept the compromise in the North
Z street paving matter as has been
suggested by the board of directors
Of the Commercial club, and when the
board meets tomorrow morning it is
more than probable that a resolution
providing for the paving of North Z
street from Tenth street to Sixteenth
street, with cement curbs. cutters and
sidewalks, will be adopted 1t is also
certain that the North f street manu-
facturers will file rcmOnStrance
against this resolution. This will
make it necessary for the board to re-
fer the matter to the city council
What action council will take remains
to be seen. TO have the proposed i'm
proycment made it will be necessary
for council to pass an ordinance to
this effect by d two-thirds vote
The board of public works cannot
legally accept the compromise sug-
gested by the Commercial club direct
ors, which is in brief that the entire
cost of paving the street be met by
the city and the street car company
For several years the city has been
paying the entire costs of macadam-
izing streets. The city has had no
legal authority to do this and any
citizen could have prevented it by
bringing suit to enjoin. However no
such action was ever taken as the
cost Of macadamizing streets has been
comparatively inexpensive and of ben
eft to the general public. The cost
of paving a section of North Z street
would cost over twice the amount Of
macadamizing the street and the
board of public works does not feel
that the citizens will sanction the
plan for having the city meet practi-
cally the entire cost of such an i'm
provement. 1t is also the opinion Of
the board members that such action
would establish dangerous preced-
ent.
The compromise suggested by the
Commercial Club directors provides
that the cost of making the cement
curbs, cutters and sidewalks be met
entirely by the property owners. The
state law provides that such improve
ments shall be paid for entirely by the
property owners.

Was the Most Severe That
Has Swept Over County
In Many Years.
GREENHOUSES SUFFERED.
THREE HUNDRED AND SIxTY-SIx
PANES OF GLASS RlDDLED AT
THE FULLE HOUSE. HEAVY
DOWNFALL OF RAIN.

Approaching as with the roar of ar
tillery. the most terrific hail storm
that has ever visited this vicinity in
recent years broke over the city last
evening about nine o'clock. Globules
of ice the size of walnuts were hurl-
ed with great force and window
meath the downpour. Considerable
damage of a serious nature was done
throughout the county, but the most
costly that has been reported was at
the F'ulle greenhouse south Of the city
on the Liberty pike. The first crash
of the hail riddled 366 panes of glass
in the greenhouse and the Fulle resi-
dence on the hillside near by suffered
to the extent of fifteen broken panes.
Other green houses suffered to a less
extent.
Fruit trees and vines were riddled
of their buds. Many Towering plants
that were making their annual ap-
pearance were cut down even with the
surface. 1t is not believed the fruit
crop will suffer seriously, however. as
the buds We're not advanced sufficient
ly far. The atmosphere was cooled
| by the hail, but the temperature did
not decline sufficiently to cause freez-
ing To this fact alone the fruit owes
its escape.
The hail storm came in the midst
of a downpOur of rain and close upon
a shower that was remarkably severe.
Umbrellas and raincoats afforded but
little protection against the rain and
waterproof shoe soles were rendered
porous. The streets and sidewalks
were flooded and the cutters over
flowed. The rain continued for sew
eral hours after the hail had ceased
When the hail storm was at its
worst, the wind blew strongly and
shingles We're torn from many houses
| and barns and blown in all directions
| Window glass was broken on the up
| per floors OF the Westcott hotel and
| the skylights in a number of buildings
were broken or cracked. Many dead
| limbs were blown from trees. No Sc
we're damage resulted in the outlying
districts except where a building stood
upon a hill or was altogether unprO-
tected by trees or other structures.

TREASURER SEEKS
TO COLLECT TAXES
Defendant Is Bankrupt Hat
Company.

Argument upon the demurrer in the
case of 3. B. Myrick, Jr., VS.. the
Richmond Hat Manufacturing COM
pany was heard in the Wayne circuit
court this morning. The plaintiff as
county treasurer, seeks to collect tax
es amounting almost to 800 from the
defendant, which now is a bankrupt
concern. The county sheriff has in
his possession about 800 which he
acquired from the sale of the proper
ty of the insoivent company. The
treasurer claims a prior lien on this
amount as taxes due the county. The
hat company issued mortgages and
the property was sold 10 Simon, Wag-
ncr and Cook. rhc firm that now oDer-
ates the plant After the property
was secured. executions were levied
on Simon, Wagner and Cook. These
executions covered the balance of the
property owned by the Richmond Hat
Manufacturing Company.

Tomorrow evening the members OF

ways and means for placing stock in a
traction company. TO be called the
Richmond and FIT. Wayne, and which
will be contributory to the Ft. Wayne
Decatur and Springfield traction com
pany. The Richmond n TT. Wayne
traction company will be organized at
a meeting 10 be held by committees of
business men from towns along tha
proposed route.
Much Money Needed.
From Ft. Wayne to Decatur the new
company will use the line of the TT.
W. d. X s. Work on building the
line from Decatur 10 Richmond will be
started as soon as all the stock has
been placed 1t is estimated that 10

cssary to raise S1.:f1.el0. The Fl.
Wayne. Decatur and Springfield COM
rany has assured the promoters of the
now company that it will furnish one
third of this amount. This makes it
necessary for the promoters to place
81 100000 in stock. To do this it is
planned to solicit business men in ev-
cry town and city along the proposed
line.
Scheme Proposed.
The various committees who are
boosting the project want to have the
preliminary work, such as securing OPP
tions on property for the right of way
of the line and the making of surveys
started as soon as possible. To do
this work money must be raised i'm
mediately At the meeting To- be held
tomorrow night by the local commit
tee the best means for raising the citys
share of the amount necessary for the
preliminary work will be discussed. II
is probable that the committee will de-
eide to solicit contributions from local
business men with the understanding
that what they subscribe will be ap-
piled to stock they will be asked TO
take in the new traction company.
The local men who attended the De-
catur meeting yesterday. were Cash

Mr. Beall states that all of those who
attended the meeting We're enthusiastic
over the organization of the new trac-
tion company. and predicted that in
their respective towns there would be
! but little difficulty in placing stock.
