On certain day set apart by Bre
nau, which is known as states day

of their states, and they have an at.
tractive parade, which is not only
spectacular but instructive as well.
Last year the Florida girls organ
lied and arranged a float represent
ing the Land of Flowers, which was
voted the prettiest in the line of
twenty-four states and England and
Cuba. The girls were justly proud of
their success and are striving to do
as well this year.
The Florida club is not a social
club, but was organized that the
members might learn more of their
own state and impart some knowledge
of it TO others on the occasion of the
annual states day celebration.
The club is composed of the follow
ing: President, Miss Alta Pearson of
Ocala; vice president, Miss Leila Nc

A GLOBE TRoTTER IN OUR CITY

The Ocala Banner was hOnored We'd
neSday afternoon by visit from Mr..
w. j. Morrow, who has made a tour
of the world five times. He is a pleas
ant and entertaining talker.
Mr.. Morrow was a resident of
Ocala for a short while in 1884, and
boarded at the old Magnolia hotel,
when it was kept by Mrs. Fanny
Steel. He operated an artificial stone
plant here, and was one of the first
to anticipate this business, which has
since grown to such enormous proper
tons in all parts of the world.
Mr.. Morrow remembers many of
our 'old timers" and made pleasant
inquiries concerning them.
Since leaving Ocala Mr.. Morrow re-
turned to his old home in Orange, y.
/ j., re-engaged in the hat manufacture
ing business, and made money enough
to retire on comfortably, and since
which time has amused himself by
leisurely travelling over the world and
! studying its peoples and its customs.

95 DIE AS SHIP IS SUNK
Steamship La Seyne Run Down Off
Sngapore-OnIy Sixty-One Escape
from Water and Sharks.

Singapore.-The mail steamer. La
oeyne of the Messageries Maritime's
service was sunk by the steamer Onda
of the British India line Sunday and
95 persons were drowned or devoured
by sharks, a school of which was fol
lowing the Inflated vessel.
Among the missing are Baron and
Baroness Beniczky and six other Eu-
ropeans, officers of the ship. Sixty
one persons were saved, the rescue
being effected only after a terrific
battle with the gigantic sharks which
swarmed over the spot where the YES
sci sank The sea was turned Grim
son with the blood of the victims who
fell prey to the terrible fish and the
boats of the rescuers were spattered
red from the wounds of the injured.
Three of the rescued lost legs even as
they were being pulled into safety.
The La Seyne was bound from Java
to Singapore, and although a thick
haze covered the sea, was steaming
at full speed The sea was smooth
and the engines of the Onda could be
heard. although there was no method
by which her position could be To-
Gated. Suddenly at eight bells in the
morning watch, or at four o'clock, the
stem of the Onda doomed up over the
starboard rail of the lie Seyne and the
crash instantly followed.

Kenosha, Wis. = Scantily clad,
Miss Eleanor Joslin, a former Den
yer society girl, escaped from the
Waufatosa asylum and walked 40
miles to Kenosha. She made the trip
in IL hours.
Friends in Kenosha, at whose resi-
dence she knocked, took her in, bun
died her into bed and summoned q

by her trip, but had suffered no seri-
GUS harm from the exposure. She has
been taken back to the asylum.
Miss Joslin made the journey clad
only in shoes, stockings, skirt and a
shirt waist. Her waist and skirt were
torn in shreds upon her arrival, she
having crawled through fences to hide
whenever she saw any one approach
ing along the highway. The shoes
were worn through, and her feet were
bleeding.
Disappointment over her parents
refusal to allow her to unite with q

of Miss Joslin's mental condition.

GOMPERS IS DENIED
REFUSES TO EXTEND LIMIT OF
BAIL BONDS FOR HIMSELF,
MORRISON AND MITCHELL.
LABOR LEADERS SHOW ANXIETY
Delegates at Toronto Convention Stun
ned as Telegram Is Roadway
Adjourn to Washington IT
No Relief Is Obtained.

Toronto.-Just as the convention of
the American Federation of Labor was
about to adjourn for the day, tele-
gram was received from Washington
announcing that the stay asked for by
the attorneys for President Gompers,
Vice President Mitchell and Secretary
Morrison, in the proceedings against
them for contempt of court, had been
denied by the court Of appeals OF the
District of Columbia.
President Gompers was plainly sur
prised and as he read the message to
the convention the delegates sat in
silence as though dazed hy the courts
action.
THAT means that the resources OF
the lawyers have been exhausted,
doesn't it," asked one of the dele
gates.
"The chair is not in position to
state" replied President Gompers.
Then as he read the message stating
1.-THE mandate goes down Saturday
morning" the faces of himself and
his fellow officers betrayed the anxl-
ETY. under which they were laboring.
A telegram signed by the three de-
PENDANTS was at once dispatched to
their counsel in Washington, asking
when it would be necessary to put in
an appearance in order to avoid for
feiting their bail bonds, which amount
to $4,000, and stating that they would
like to remain in Toronto until the
close of the convention Saturday eve
ming.
81 am not certain whether under
the law of the District of Columbia we
can appeal" said Mr.. Gompers after
adjournment "But If we do go, the
convention must stay here and carry
on it's proceedings in dignified and
orderly manner"
"We1l charter a train and all go
down with you," volunteered one Of
the delegates. "And even the seceders
will join you," added J. J. Reid, presi-
dent of the seeding faction of the
electrical workers.
The suggestion that the convention
be adjourned to Washington in the
event of the departure of Gompers,

ously by many of the delegates, and it
was said a resolution to that effect
might be prepared. Pending the re-
ceipt of dispatch from Washington
the executive council held long ses-
sion, at which plans for meeting the
situation which confronts the three
labor leaders were discussed.
Many of the delegates have express
sed disapproval of the plan suggested
by the central labor union of Phila-
delphia, that two weeks general
strike be ordered as a protest against
the contempt imprisonments.

BOY BANDIT KILLS TWO men
PROBABLY FATALLY WOUNDS
SELF IN ATTEMPT SUICIDE.
Youth Robs Bank Twice Within
Month, Is Driven to Bay
by Mob.

Eudora, Kan. Driven to bay
by an armed mob, Earl Bullock,
the 17-year-old bandit of Lawrence,
Kan, who twice within the last month
has robbed the Eudora State bank,
murdered policeman and shot an
other man, probably fatally wounded
himself in an attempt to commit sui
eide near here.
Bullock attempted suicide following
his second robbery of the bank here
and his shooting of Fred Starr, cash
Ter of the Kaw Valley State bank of
Eudora, who was in the Eudora State
bank with his days clearings. Accom-
panied by William Mckay, Is years
old, of Jacksonville, Fla, Bullock held
up the bank. Although Starr offered
no resistance to the hold-up, Bullock
shot him through the jaw. Snatching
more than $500, Bullock fled, followed
by his companion. Each youth had
two revolvers.
Harry Wilson, cashier of the robbed
bank, spread the alarm, and crowd
of citizens, armed with shotguns,
rifles and revolvers, pursued the boy
bandits across the fields. In attempt
ing to swim the Kaw river the boys
lost ground, and few minutes later
the mob was at their heels. Mckay
surrendered, but Bullock, wrenching
the revolvers from his faltering part
ner's hands, sped on into patch OF
wood where he shot himself.

TRADE SCHOOLS ARE URGED
Industrial Education Is Advocated in
Report Made to Federation OF
Labor Convention.

Toronto, Ont. = Organized labor
attitude on the vital question OF
industrial education was set forth
in report to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor by the
special committee appointed by au-
thority of the Denver convention to
investigate the subject.
The committee, of which John Nit
chell is chairman, held three meetings
during the year in New York, Wash
ington and Toronto.
1T is believed" says the report,
chat the future welfare of America
largely depends on the industrial
training of our workers and protect
ing them. The inquiries of the COM
mittee seem to indicate that if the
American workman is to maintain the
high standard of efficiency, the boys
and girls of the country must have an
opportunity to acquire educated hands
and brains, such as may enable them
to earn living in a self-selected vo-
cation and acquire an intelligent un-
derstanding of the duties of good citi-
zenship.
eve favor the establishment of
schools in connection with the public
school system at which pupils be-
tween the ages of IA and 16 may be
taught the principles of the trades,
not necessarily in separate buildings,
but in separate schools adapted to
this particular education and by COM
petent and trained teachers.

liam j. Hall, a furniture dealer OF
Louisville.
John R. Tucker, negro chauffeur OF
an automobile in which the bandit
tried to make his escape, was also
wounded and may die.
After an exciting chase down the
Ohio river by a motor boat full of po-
lice, the bandit was captured. The
prisoner was saved from a mob which
had gathered to lynch him, only by a
ruse.
AS the bandit entered the door OF
the bank he ordered everyone to hold
up their hands. An instant later he be-
gan firing with both guns.
Fawcett was shot through the chest
and neck and died almost instantly.
President Woodward was shot through
the liver and intestines. Tucker, the
chauffeur, who lives in Louisville, was

told of Sir Spencer st. John, the Eng

this national courtesy often provokes
embarrassment. Sir Spencer, who is
a gallant old bachelor, was prom
enading with some ladies in the park,
when he met a nurse girl with
bright-eyed baby. The ladies stopped
to admire the little one, and Sir Spen-
Ger asked whose child it was. "Senor,
it is your own" replied the nurse, with

children since.
