GOWN. B. BROWARD
SPOKEN or AS SECRETARY
OF THE NAVY

Denver, July 6.-The decision
of the Florida delegation to place
Governor Broward in nomination
for Vice President has excited a
great deal of comment throughout
the country, and some special
newspaper correspondents here
state that if a Southern Democrat
is to receive the honor Broward is
the one mostly favored by Bryan.
United States Senator w. II.
Milton is the most active in behalf
Of Broward, and when the time
comes he will take the proxy of
Charles F. Eaton for the day, and
place the Governor in nomination.
Some of the Missouri delegation is
also working for Broward.
A report current here is that
Bryan now prefers Charles A.
Towne, of New York, and that tile
Nebraskan, in case of his election
as President, would be favorable to
Broward for Secretary Of the Navy
Governor Swanson, of Virginia,
says that the Virginia delegation
will oppose any southern man for
Vice President, as the delegates
believe that the candidate should
come from a section which would
add strength to the ticket. He is
quoted as saying that Broward is
good cabinet timber, and would be
well suited for Secretary of the
Navy.
Broward, it must be admitted,
with the probable exception of
Ollie James, of Kentucky, is the
most talked-of southern man in the
newspapers of the west, who is
now in Denver. This is due
probably to his frequent visits
throughout the country, and his
presidency of the National Drain
age Congress. j c ksonville

abundance of water comes to with

Under the hottest kind of sun, the

the same umpire. In the fourth
inning they put out four Of the
TT. Myers boys who scored three
runs in consequence.
the very last act capped the
climax. The score was 4 to 5 in
favor of Fl Myers, the Arcadia
boys at the bat, two down, but
bases full. Arcadia struck to left
field, arrived at first base safe, but
was declared out which lost the
home run made by the man OF
third. This however would have
tied the game and left the bases
still full, but as usual out" Area

Brown on Temperance

lnasmuch as many editors are
assuring the people that the elect
ION of Joe Brown as Governor OF

Mr.. Browns defense, to quote
from his announcement when rum

is no subject upon which the

Il shall favor the strict enforce
ment of the present prohibition
law, and any amendment that may
be passed by the general assembly
at the next session respecting it.

JUNIOR BALL GAME
ARCADIA AND FORT MYERS
PLAY BASE BALL

We are HOT muCQ on baseball
lingo, or can we retail the dope
usual in describing the game, but
we know when team is up against
1t and that is what the Arcadia
High School youngsters found out
to their cost when they tackled
Fort Myers mixed team Monday
and Tuesday.
We will not say the umpire had
his money on the game, but his
cousins and aunts" must have
had for he was taking no chances.
The only way Our boys could
get to first base safely was to get
to the bag, sieze it and hold it up
in the air before the sphere arrived
in the hand of the first baseman,
and then the umpire would look
very solemn and after being sure it
was no trick bag the Arcadia boy
carried along with him, say
S "A F = +, and that came out
like extracting eye teeth.
One time one boy, arriving in
plenty time at first, threw the bag
up in the air, before 1t came down
the ball was caught by the first
base man, out" shouted umpire
and out" it had to be.
When it came to strikes our boys
concluded to hit at anything for it
would be strike anyhow.
Yes, they would race, run, slip,
slide, but fate in the personal of
the umpire was "agin" them.
Any kind of stealing by the Ar
cadia boys was considered very
wicked and the umpire condemned
It by religiously saying out, SO
while the boys tried to steal second
or third base they were always
caught in the act and their ainbi-
ton dampened by out" 1t is
not to be supposed that. Arcadia
took all this like lambs" The
game was stopped several times in
protest.

ARRESTED FOR STEALING
STOCK CERTIFICATES
Former Goldfield Man Said to
Have Fraudulently Issued
Valuable Shares

Herbert A CLANCY was brought
back from Victorville. San Bernardino
county, early yesterday morning by
Detective Steve Bunner and booked at
the city prison on a charge of. grand
larceny.
CLANCY was arrested on complaint of
Fl. H. Norwood. stock broker, SOC
Bush street. Chaney rendered him,
last February, five certificates, each
calling for 1000 shares OF the stock
of the Sandstorm gold mining COM
pany of Goldfeld. Norwood disposed
of them and gave Clancy a check in
payment of S1.442.75.
Later Norwood learned that Chaney,
who had been employed by the Sand
storm company. had disappeared from
Goldfield, and it was discovered that a
number of signed certificates in blank
had also disappeared. The five certifi-
Gates given by CLANCY to Norwood had
been filed in by CLANCY and were part
of those missing after Chaney's dis
appearance.
The Pinkerton detective agency had
been working on the case, and Theo-
dore Kytka, the hand writing expert,
has been engaged 10 testify as to the
hand writing on the certificates. II
is said that Clancy has cleared alto
gether about $4,000 by disposing of
the certificates he is alleged to have
stolen from the company.

DIVORCE
SUIT ANSWERED

The answer filed yesterday by Mrs.
Ethel NJ. Sutton to the new suit for
divorce brought by her husband, Al
bert Sutton, a well known architect,
indicates that the case will not be
strenuously contested She formally de-
MED Suttons charge that she deserted
him, but made no cross allegations
against him. From the answer it
would also appear that Mrs. Sutton be-
lieves the two children will be awarded
her husband. She AYERS that she is a
proper person to have custody of them.
but prays that in the event they are
awarded to their father she shall not
be deprived of the right TO visit them
and take them about with her.
Mrs. Fannie Goldblatt was able to
put up with good deal, but when
her husband, Samuel Goldblatt, threw
his socks in her face. as she alleges
IN her cross complaint to his suit for
divorce that he did, il was more than
flesh and blood could endure. His
wife charges also that he threw an
apple at her so hard 1t burst in pieces.
Another time they. had quarrel over
the trivial matter Of cutting up an
onion and he is alleged to have called
her vile names. Goldblatt is employed
by a. Wilkomm, dealer in building ma
terials. and his wife says he earns $50
a week.
That he spends great part of his
income In attending prize fights is one
of the items of cruelty charged against
Walter Scott, a butcher. in a suit for
divorce instituted yesterday by Emily
scott. Scott earns only s75 month.
She also charged that he spends too
much on strong drink.

dav were: Catherine Kelly against
