1t seems strange that some persons
in our midst will continue to assert
that attorney J. w. Robinson has
been cited by Judge Linn to answer
charge for contempt in the Benja.
min Balch punishment proceedings.
The STANDARD has heretofore aimed
to correct this erroneous impression.
The matter now stands on applica-
ton of Balch, by his attorney Judge
]. w. Robinson to vacate a former
order of the court distributing Ger.
tain funds paid into the registry Of
the court by Baloh. If the latter's
statements be true, he and certain
lienors have suffered q hardship.
While as far as the writer is advised,
no reflections should be cast upon
Judge Linn and the attorneys repre-.
senting other interests in the same

signed, be was in the Superior Court
room engaged in the trial of q cause

SERIOUS FLOOD
 IN JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, Fla, September 1O.-With a total rainfall of 11.39 inches in two days, up to the measurement at o'clock tonight, and with a perfect deluge of water falling over the city tonight, the city is threatened with flood that will exceed the one of 1908, when the mer- chants on West Bay street, the rrinci- pal thoroughfare, were driven from their places of business.
 Tonight the water stands three and a half feet deep on West Bay street and is still rising McCoy's creek, a large stream which empties into the St Johns river, has overflowed its banks, and the water in the street and the entire west ern section is rapidly rising.
 In Springfield, the select residential district the water in many places Is from 2h to 8 feet deep and is still ris- ing, being on level with the porches of many homes in that section.
 The street ear traffic Is tied up, the tracks being under water, and much damage has already been done. Mer- chants in many sections built dams across their store doors late this after noon in an effort to keep the water out. If the rains continue throughout the night much damage is feared by the floods.

 Subpoena.

New York, September 10.-FranlS B. Kellogg, special deputy attorney general who is prosecuting the governments suit against the Standard Oil company of New Jersey resorted to the United States circuit court today, to force the pro- duction of letters he had previously de- manded from c. T. Ceilings, second vice president of the Standard Oil company of Kentucky. The governments lawyer obtained from Judge Ward subpoena ordering MT. Ceilings to produce the missing letters. This was served on the Standard official as he left the witness stand, where he had been testifying before Special Examiner Franklin Ferris.
 The letters demanded by the govern ment are about 40 in number and were written by M Maxon, Standard agent, to the late w. c. Elliott formerly a ste- nographer in MT Ceilings Cincinnati office. They dealt with alleged sums which, the government charges, were paid by the Standard Oil company of Kentucky to its agents for the purpose of buying information. as to competitors shipments. This information, in some cases, the government alleges. was bought from railroad oil inspectors and others This, however, is denied by the Standard oil company.

Georgian Speaks as First Southerner to Be Honored for So High a Posi- ton-He Declares That His
 Party Is Peoples Hope.

Richmond, Va, September 10.-Assailing both of the great political parties of the country, the republicans as the cloak of protection and the friends of the trusts, and the democrats as the unfaithful suc- cessors to former greatness, shifting with every wind from radcalism to conserva- tism, three orators for the Independence party addressed a representative Rich mond audience tonight The speakers were Hon. Thomas l.. Hisgen of Massa- chusetts, candidate for President; Hon. John Temple Graves of Atlanta candi- date for vice president, and Clarence J. Shearn of New York, candidate for at- torney general.
 T have hitherto voted the democratic ticket" said MT Hisgen. 'I voted for Bryan twice. but Pm not going to vote for him a third time. I'm not going to bring up my children to vote for him. as they may have an opportunity to do. They declare that this Is not the same old Bryan They are right. He used to spurn such men as Roger Sullivan and Tom Taggart and Charlie Murpny, and he Ryan, Belmont and Whitney.

He admitted that his act was premeditated, and he repeated that he had shot at "Dreyfussm'' and not at Major Drey- fus as a protest against the participa- ton of the army in the ceremonies at the pantheon attending the canonization of Emile Zola.
 The continued efforts of the defense to rake up the Dreyfus case eliminated in dramatic incident. Gregori was attempt ing to question Maj. LeBrun Renaud on the subject of the confession Dreyfus was alleged to have made to him, whi/ being conducted from the courtmartial to prison in 1895. Dreyfus sprang to his feet, and with white face and trembling violently, shouted to Gregorfs counsel:
 sir, an apepal to the court established in the most decided manner my lnno- cense"
 Immediately tremendous uproar proke out and mingled cheers and groans shook the room Finally the president was obliged to clear the court before sem blance of order was restored.

so high an office by any great party,

for so high an office by any great party. He said:
 q am a southerner and I do not need here or in the north to speak for the loyalty the south pledged on every bat tlefield this country has seen. But l ehal- lenge the honesty of the south when for F years the people have been rallying to leaders in whom they did not believe and who were forced on you by conditions long since gone. It has been the expres- sion of a policy not your own. The south should have a broader platform and quit trucking to conditions that are dead. Prejudice and passion should pass away. The time has passed when we need the solidarity of the south. For 30 years you have trooped to the polls and voted not convictions, but the dic~ tates of leaders who have not thrown a bone, nay, not even the second bone has fallen to the faithful legions Of the solid south. (Applause)
 Conditions have changed and environ ments have altered. Other sections Of the country have changed with them, but we alone have trooped unlearned and unprogressive behind leaders in whom we had no confidence. Office hold ing has held back some conditions that are gone, has deterred others, and the south remains wrapped in it's traditions, while the nation is settling the tremend- ous problems of 6 tremendous age.
 ''The independence party does not evade the issues," said MT. Graves Tt goes straight and clear to the heart of every question. 1t is loyal to laDor. It pro- tects the honest interests Of capital and holds out a hand of help to the farmer. It holds up the best and safest system of finance that the country has ever seen. It calls for a navy large enough to pro tect the beach of both shores of the coun- try There is enough of honesty in the south to break down our traditions. Let us be honest with ourselves and stand up for the principles in which we believe; not denounce privately and vote publicly for the man whom we have in our minds doomed to destruction"
