he has been Governor, be went to the

Governor Broward has been nearly
four years in Office building up state
wide political machine, which be IS
now working for all it is worth. The
power OF appointment vested IN him
for the public interests solely has been
used for his own political advantage
AS a result, witness the notorious fact
that his appointees from United States
Senator to inspector Of fertilizers are
openly and actively electioneering for
him in almost every county in the state
Among his office holding supporters
are four convict inspectors, a food and
drug inspector, an Inspector OF feeu
stuffs and fertilizers, the state printer,
numbers of naval stores inspectors, the
supervising Inspector of naval stores,
the chairmrn aud member of the
Slate Board of Control, numerous dredg-
ing employees and wood contractors
and an army of minor state Offices ana
employees. There is even State De-
tective for whose appointment there
is no legal authority)' who is travelling
over this state electioneering for Brow
ard These officers and employees are
receiving salaries averaging not less
than fifteen hundred dollars year each
and their expenses. Every one knows
thar numbers OF county officers appoint
ed by Governor Broward are doing ac'
tive service for the Governor who put
them in office. The Constitution o.
Florida prohibits the Governor from
being candidate to succeed himself
This was to prevent just such machine
nolitics. But the Governor is using
the same methods to get himself
elected United States Senator - u4S

Hon. Duncan U. Fletcher, City;
Dear Sir; Referring to your request
that give you the facts as remember

ance before the Railroad Commission
at the hearing on the adjustment of
phosphate rates between Fernandina
and Savsnnah, would say; My recol-
lection is that the Fernandina Board
of Trade contended that phosphate
rates from the mines to Fernandina as
compared with the rates from the mines
to Savannah were unjust and discrimi-
mated against Fernandina. The Fer
nandina Board of Trade requested the
cooperation of the Jacksonville Board
of Trade in an effort to have an equita-
BILE adjustment Of these rates, and at
the hearing in Tallahassee you appear
ed with President Garner Of the jack
sonyille Board of Trade, and in the
statement you made before the COM
mission you stated that you appeared
In the interest OF the city of Jackson
vile in the matter, | did not under
stand that you were opposed to the re-
duction in phosphate rates, and 40
not see how the report that you ap-
naared for the railroads could have or
iginated, because there was certainly
nothing that you said or that took
place at the hearing that would have,
in the most remote degree, indicated
that YOU appeared in behalf OF the rail-
roads Yours very truly,

LAPORTE. Ind, November 2J.-When
the trial OF Ray Lampherc for the al
legged murder of Belle Guinness and her
three children was resumed today it
was expected that the case would go to

closing plea this afternoon to be made

scored a victory when Judge Richter an
nounced that he would instruct the Jury
that if the evidence showed that Lam
phere set fire to the Guinness house.. even
If the fire did not cause the death of any
of the persons therein, the jury must
find him guilty of arson.
The state scored another victory when
il secured the Incorporation in the in
structions of paragraph by which if
the jury finds that any one of the four
persons in the house lost his or her life

NAVY ENDURANCE TEST.
President Approves Fifty-Mile Walk
for Officers Order.

Tie recommendations of the Navy De-
partment in relation to physical test
for naval officers have been approved by
the President The physical test pre-
scribed applies TO officers of the line be-
low the rank of rear admiral and TO
staff officers below the rank of cap
tain while serving on shore. 1t Is
similar TO that now prescribed for officers
of the Coast Artillery Corps, which is a
ffty-mile walk in three days.
1t is expected that plan will be devised
for testing the physical endurance of
watch officers at sea. to be in the form of
taking duty alternately every four hours
for SeVetlty-tWo hours. Commanding Of
ficers commanders OF squadrons and di-
vision flag officers will be required as
hysical test to exercise their divisions
under the immediate control of the COM
manding, executive and navigating Off
GERS continuously during twenty-fOur
hours
These tests, it is believed. will determine
whether an officer has sufficient endur-
ance to perform duty in war time.
