MOVING PICTURE ORDINANCE
TO BE TAKEN UP MONDAY

The moving picture ordinance which
has been before the council or some
of its committees for several weeks
was laid over until that body meets
in regular session Monday. The change
in the new ordinance from the one
now in force is that the provision of
the present ordinance requiring two
exits on an alley is stricken out. Sew
eral other minor changes are made.
The change in the ordinance is
chiefly for the benefit of Tally's Broad
way theater at Broadway and Main
There is no alley in the rear Of this
theater and it is manifestly impossible
for the management to comply with
this section of the ordinance. Mean
while Building superintendent Backus
has served notice on the theater 1t
must comply with the terms of the
ordinance or the manager be subjected
to prosecution.
A gentlemen's agreement was given
Mr.. Tally by the council yesterday that
this threat would not be carried out
until the ordinance is passed by the
council at it's next meeting.

DEAD MAN DELIVERED AT
DOOR OF POLICE STATION
Expressman Dies In Wagon While His
Companion Is interviewing unl-
versIty officer Asking for
His Assistance

Sergt. McKeag of the University
police station yesterday afternoon had
a dead man delivered at his door. The
sergeant was at the desk when a man
walked into the station and said he
had a very sick man outside In a
wagon. The sergeant went out and
found the sick man was dead.
The deceased was Orville E. Fouth,
SO years old, an expressman who lived
with his wife at 422 North Avenue
Twenty. His death probably came from
some disorder of the heart. He had
been feeling Ill all day, and for that
reason had secured the assistance OF
William thinner of 429 North Avenue
Twenty-one.
While the men were out delivering
some articles Fouth was taken worse
and lay down in the wagon. His at
tack became so serious that thinner
made for the police station.
The body was taken to ]. r. PaulE

Sensational Disclosures Concerning

Trustee c. C. Desmond received ad-
vices from Sacramento yesterday that
Governor Gillett had directed the state
board of charities and corrections to
conduct an inquiry into the charges OF
negligence, Incompetence and improper
behavior against superintendent ]. P.
Greeley of the Whittier state school.
E. c. Cooper, private secretary to the
governor, will act as the personal rep
resentative of the executive at the
hearings.
This is regarded by Mr.. Desmond's
friends as at least partial vindication
OF his course in insisting that trustees
Clarke and Newlin, his associates, shall
go ahead with the inquiry instead OF
being content with dropping the band
master and his wife and the FARMING
instructor and his wife.
Trustee Desmond has succeeded also
in wringing from his colleagues con-
sent to examine the shorthand report
of the testimony taken at the TWO
weeks secret hearing at the school, at
which testimony was heard on Wnlch

less bring to the front much of the Sc

which will startle the state adInlnls-
fration, the voters and the taxpayers.

MRS. ALICE GARDNER MAY
BE TRIED ON OLD CHARGE

Police headquarters found 1t hard to
decide yesterday afternoon what TO do
with Mrs. Alice Gardner, a young
woman arrested Wednesday night on
a "suspicion" charge by Sergeant Nc
Dowell and Officer Turner. The police
officers wished to file complaint
against the woman. but the prosecut-
ing attorney refused to issue one. The
woman was taken back to jail and held
on a previous charge placed against
her June 16 At that time she gave
hail but failed to appear on the day
SET for her trial. She will probably
be tried on the old charge.

A KICK FROM FELLOWSHIP

Fellowship, Fla, Aug. II 1908.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
l see in the proceedings of the
board of county commissioners that
they have ordered Mr.. Taylor and Mr..
Geiger to move their fences.
Now, l do not know anything about
Mr.. Geiger's fence, but pass Mr..
Taylor's every time / go to town, and
l have never experienced any incon-
venience in passing there. Further
more, l believe that three vehicles
could drive abreast along in his lane.
Now, if they make Mr.. Taylor move
his fence because it is over the line a
few feet. where will they stop?
will venture to say that over fifty
per cent. of the fences along the pub
lie roads are over the line. Now, are
they going to make an exception OF
Mr. Taylor, or is this the beginning
Of a warfare on the farmers-the
main stay and pillar of our govern
ment?
Again, Mr.. Editor, there are a few
other questions l would like to ask
the commissioners. Why DO they
wait until the rainy season TO work
the public roads? The rains have
started now, and so have the road
hands, and they make the roads al
most impossible.
And why have they quit advertising
for sealed bids for road overseers?
Why not give every man a chance
Have they forgotten the old demo
cratic motto: Equal rights TO all and
special favors to none" and adopted
the republican motto: ITO the victor
belongs the spoils."

The staff correspondent OF the New
York Packer says that Lady Lake
has some fine orange groves, good veg
etable land and is noted for its pro
ductive watermelon fields. Some Of
the finest melons shipped from Flor
ida are grown here and while the
season this year has not been a prof
liable one. owing TO dry weather and
low market prices, yet the growers as
a rule are not discouraged and will
plant many acres of Florida's famous
big Blue" melons next spring. Many
growers are already preparing new
fields for an early spring crop. The
orange crop also is short here this
season but the quality seems to be
of the best, of an early bloom, and
more than usually advanced in size
and development.

ocALA is GIVEN A NICE NOTICE

The editor of the Sun spent a few
hours in Ocala last Friday afternoon,
which was the first time he had visit
ed the place in six years. and We were
agreeably surprised to note the many
substantial Improvements during
that time. Six years ago there was
an old shabby court house in the mid
die OF the public square, the streets
were knee deep in sand, and a decent
sidewalk was the exception. Now
there is not an inland town in the
state where there is d more attract
i've court house, adorned with. an es-
peciaily beautiful lawn, a monument
to the Confederacy erected by the
United Daughters chapter of that
city, fine cement sidewalks around
the square and nearly every other sec.
ton of the city, and vitrifed brick
.pavements.
Ocala has certainly made rapid ad
vancement during the past six years,
and We hope the good work will con-
tinue.
Unlike Gainesville, they have paw
ed the square with, vitrifed brick,
where the property brings a good rem
tai, and owners could better stand
the expense, consolidating the work
IN one section at a time and getting
results for the expenditure of the peO-
pies money. 1t would pay the NUM-
cipal authorities of Gainesville to fol-
low the example of Ocala, cease using
worthless rock as paving material,
and put down vitrifed brick, which is
the only material fit to be used for
