GOVERNOR GIVES SUPPORT TO

Every Command in State of Florida

Riotlng
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 12.-
Governor Broward today ordered every
command of the state militia to pro-
ceed at once to Pensacola.
The sounding OF the riot call sum-
moning the three companies here to
quarters gave rise to a report that a
serious strike riot was in progress at
Pensacola, but this proved to be a
mistake, later advices showing that the
electric railway company had decided
to start cars on it's lines tomorrow,
and that the troops had been called
out as a measure of precaution against
further trouble.
At $3.50 p. m. 10 men and the gat-

WOULD PUT LID ON
BLATANT MEDIUMS
DRASTIC LEGISLATION Is PRO-
POSED
Bcmbastc Promises at Ten Cents Per
Will Be Abolished and Licenses
on Fakers viii Be
Raised

Another effort to force mediums,
clairvoyants and fortune tellers. who
sell their alleged talents for cash, to
abate their blatant advertisements
will be made in the city council shortly.
For fees ranging from 10 to so cents
certain professed seers promise to do
almost everything, from diagnosing i'll
ness to telling where gold and precious
gems may be found or reuniting es-
tranged couples and tracing missing
relatives and sundry other improbable
accomplishments.
The better element of spiritualists,
who oppose charlatanry and the COM
mercial use of these mystic forecasts,
favor strict legislation on the subject,
as they believe the question should be
handled and studied purely from dig
nified devotional standpoint.
Some weeks ago, at the police COM
missioners meeting, Chief of Police Ed
ward Kern expressed himself in favor
of increasing the tax on mediums,
palmists and clairvoyants from $50 a
month to SIS a month. The other COM
missioners agreed that an increase
would be advisable.
These two reforms may be merged
in some way, resulting not only in
suppression of Objectionable and fall
lacious advertised promises, those back
of the movement say, but also in cut
ting down the number of professed
seers by cutting into their revenues.

ENGLISH CABINET
is ANNOUNCED
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT CON-
FIRMS FORECAST
David Lloyd George is Put to the
Front Rank in Diplomatic Life of
Britain and Forms Striking
Feature
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
LONDON, April 12.-Offcial an
nouncement was made tonight of the
new cabinet appointments and they are
identical with the forecast made by
the Daily Chronicle a few days ago,
and announced in these dispatches as
follows:
Herbert Asquth. premier and first
lord of the treasury.
the exchequer.
Lord Tweedmouth, president of the
council.
Earl of Crewe, secretary of state for
colonies.
Reginald McKenna, first lord of the
admiralty.
Winston Spencer Churchill, president
of the board of trade.
Walter Runciman, president of the
board of education.
John Morley, secretary of state for
India.
Sir Henry Fowler, chancellor of the
duchy of Lancaster.
The last two have been made peers,
but retain their present offices.
Now that it is officially confirmed,
perhaps the most striking feature in
the new cabinet is the leap of David
Lloyd George to the front rank in po-
litical life.
Some further minor appointments
outside the cabinet will be held to i'm
ply that the idea of reforming or abol-
ishing the house of lords has been
dropped for the time being, while Mr..
McKenna's removal from his office as
president of the board of education
will enable the government to aban-
don the Torney educational bill for
the present session.
1t is understood Premier Asquith will
himself make the coming budget state
ment, although he has resigned the
chancellorship, there being a prece-
dent for this course.

At 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning
Patrolman L. Hollowell arrested F. M.
Sherwood. a recent arrival in Los An
geles, and booked him at the central
police station on suspicion.
Sherwood was detected by the Off
Ger in an apparent attempt to burglar
ize the grocery store of c. P. Sprague
at S05 South Olive street.
The arrest was made after a spec
tacular running pistol fight, in which
the officers life was saved only by
cartridge missing fire in Sherwood's
revolver.
Patrolman Hollowell was walking his
beat when he detected sound as If
someone was trying to force window.
He walked across the street and as he
did so Sherwood shook the front door
of the store as If to see if it was locked
and then coolly walked out on the
sidewalk and. placing bunch of keys
in his pocket, nodded good morning
to the officer and walked away.
Hollowell called to him to stop and
around the corner of Eighth street he
ran at top speed toward Grand avenue.
Fires Gun at Officer
Hollowell followed. and as he came
up with the man Sherwood pulled a
.45-caliber revolver from his pocket
and, pointing it directly at the head of
the officer, pulled the trigger. The
weapon missed fire and. with an oath,
the man turned and ran again.
Hollowell drew his own revolver and
fired rapidly at the retreating figure,
but the bullets seemed only to accel-
crate his speed and he disappeared
through a vacant lot leading back to
Olive street.
The officer followed and located the
man in the house at sos Olive street.
Sergeant Grogan and Patrolman Ken
nedy arrived by this time and the house
was entered.
Sherwood was found in his room and
when searched had a full kit of burg
lars tools. including a jimmy, with
which he had tried to force the door of
the grocery, several dozen skeleton
keys, drills, "spreaders" and other
paraphernalia used by burglars and
safe blowers.
At the police station he admitted he
intended to burglarize the place, but
refused to state where he was from or
his true name.
Later In the day George Groves and
his wife, M. f. Groves, who arrived
here with Sherwood three weeks ago,
were arrested In apartments directly
across the street from those occupied
by Sherwood. They were also booked
on suspicion.
Sherwood is believed to be a pro-
fessional crook and his companions,
while nothing is known of them, will
be held until their record in Denver
and other eastern cities is investigated.

court should be applauded. The drug
glst who sells alcoholic beverages is no
better than the saloonkeeper-only a
meaner sneak-and the lawbreaking
druggist deserves as little mercy as the
lawbreaking saloonkeepers.
According to statements published in
Atlanta, sixty of the eighty-seven cam
didates for the Georgia legislature who
have been already nominated are pro-
nouncedly in favor of Prohibition. This
pretty effectively answers the statement
Of bad Boy" Peck to the effect that
the people of Georgia are preparing to
elect an authorization legislature.
One of the embarrassing features of
the Prohibition campaign in North Car
DINA has been the publication by the
saloon men of an article against Prohi-
bltlon written a year ago by J. w.
Bailey, then president of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of that state. Mr.. Bailey
has been fighting for state Prohibition
this year but his bad record has been
used against him.
A dispatch from Savannah, Ga, says
that when Governor Smith spoke in that
city, the other night, someone in the
crowd called out to him, Give us back
the whisky" and that Governor Smith
replied ''My friend, 1 expect to be
governor of this state for the next three
and half years, and you won't get the
whisky back while am in office" This
is very good for Hoke, even if his pa
per does continue to run whisky adver-
Using.
John p Swasey has been nominated
by the Republicans to succeed Charles
E. Littleheld, the Maine Congressman
who has been reported to have been
forced out of office because Of his sup
port of Prohibition The fact that Mr..
Swasey is strong supporter of Pro-
hibition and that the nomination was
vigorously fought for by a leading
opponent of Prohibition, pretty we'll
settles how the people of that Congress
sional district feel in the matter.
A few days ago the Postofice De
partment, which, upon the unquestioned
and unquestionable authority of the
Postmaster General, is empowered to
pronounce any mans business a fraud
and refuse to deliver mail to him, re-
turned to a schoolboy letter which he
had written to his father with the word
Fraud stamped across its face Per
haps all this is just as it should be- but
this same Postofice Department is still
helping the Duffy Malt Whisky COM
pany to sell its poor, raw whisky" by
! the aid of fraudulent advertisements
The New York Times devotes almost
a page of a recent Sunday number to an
article entitled, "How Prohibition is
Working in the South" The author of
the article manages to say about as lit
tie in a page as. can be commonly said
in that space, but admits, apparently re-
luctantly, that, ''The early difficulty in
securing liquor weaned many men from
the habit of drinking and has reformed
hundreds and thousands The man
who would have quit long ago but could
not resist the constant temptation has
had his chance and may never drink in
the future. Prohibition has lessened
general and indiscriminate drinking to a
very large extent"
