Around the
dice Station


Viggo Jacobsen reported yesterday
morning to the detective bureau that
during the night some one entered his
sleeping apartment at the Seamen s
Institute. On Mr. Jacobsen awaking
the intruder made dash for the bal
cony and slid over the rail and dropped
to the ground. Mr.. Jacobsen is light
sleeper and was awakened by hearing
some one moving around the room. He
got out of bed Immediately, but the
prowler didn t wait for a clash-at arms,
and vamosed.
Further investigation about the In
stitute revealed the fact that Jacob
SEN neighbor had been robbed of a
purse, watch and bunch of keys, the
latter belonging to warehouse. the
locks of which were changed yester-
day. The empty purse was found on
the roof, and coin or two had been
dropped from it.
Mr.. Jacobsen says that had he a gun
at the time trail of blood, at least,
would have been left behind by the
prowler. He is of the opinion that the
man is skilful poreh-climber, for this
is the third time in about year that
the place has been entered.
Stopped Their Work.
Officer Sam Kaahu stopped three
Japanese from working on their fish
ing sampan at the foot of Alakea street
yesterday and escorted them to the sta
ton, where he charged them with VIC
lating the Sunday law. AS explained
at the receiving station, the Japs were
merely working on the sampan, and
according to the officer this was doing
unnecessary labor on the Sabbath
However, there was considerable other
work going on around the harbor.
Mrs. Markle Confessed.
Two charges of theft were placed
against Mrs. Markle yesterday, and she
will have to appear in court to answer
to the charge of stealing several hun.

a small lot on the extreme south end of
town. Negotiations are still under wav
to make a satisfactory deal with Mr.
owens, but there is no hope of bring
ing the colord man to reasonable terms
and condemnation proceedings will at
once be brought against the land. The
owner paid $3.50 for the lot year ago.
the committee has offered him $500,
but he sticks to price Of $3.50. 1t is
very doubtful if any jury will award

offered.

committee that had done 50 much for
the town; to the band, for the music
rendered on the occasion of each public
meeting, and to the Improvement club
for the use of the hall.
After the close of the subject of the
railroad division headquarters, the audi
ence resolved itself into a good roads
meeting. and the subject of the i'm
pending bond issue election was spoken
on by A. ID. Penney and G. R. Broome.
Mr.. Penney expressed the opinion
that no greater issue for the benefit of
every property owner and citizen had
ever been presented to the people of
the county, and it was absurd that the
sentiment of the people is such that
the result of the election of next Tues
day is in doubt. This condition has
been brought about by preposterous
misrepresentation that have been
scattered through the county, especially
in the northern and western sections.
To ascertain the sentiment of the peO-
pie of Fort Pierce in regard to bonding
the county for good roads, Mr.. Penney
suggested that everyone present in fav-
or of the issue of bonds should stand,
and in that vast audience but one

be raised by public subscription, for the
purpose of erecting an appropriate
monument at some suitable site in the
state in honor of the memory of Sena-

"J;m" Alexander Creates Sensation

Tallahassee, April 10 = A sensation
was sprung in the house of represent
atives this morning, when Mr.. Aiexan-
der of Vo,usia introduced a resolution
condemning and disappearing the at
tack made by Hon. Frank Clark. mem
her of congress from the Second Florida
district, upon Hon. William j. Bryan
and Hon. Champ Clark, the Democratic
leader in the lower branch of congress.
The introduction of the resolution de-
veloped a warm debate, in which many
of the members of the house participa..
ted. Those opposing the adoption OF
the resolution held that while the
charges against Mr., Clark may be true
thew did not deem it wise thing for
for the legislature to condemn Cong
ressman. The resolution went over
for a week, to give Mr.. Clark an OPP
nortunity to be heard. During the
course Of the debate, it was developed
that w. A. McWilliams, of st. Johns,
and ]. E. Alexander, of Volusia, have
anxious eyes on Mr.. Clark's seat in
congress.

ANNUAL MEETING OF
F.F.C.RY. DIRECTORS

At the annual meeting of the board
of directors of the Florida East Coast
Railway, held in st. Augustine last
Friday, the following officers were
elected:
H. M. Flagler, chairman of the board
of directors, 26 Broadway, New York:
J. R. PARROT, president, Jacksonville

w. H. Chambers, comptroller, ST..
Augustine.
K. w. Parsons, assistant to the pres
ident, 26 Broadway, New York.
These important changes in the rank
of the officials of the Florida East Coast
Railway are of general interest. The
honor given Mr.. Parrott in his selec-
ton as president of this great railway
is one so we'll deserved that it will have
the hearty commentator of the public
at large. Mr.. Beckwith in his advance
to vice-president in charge of Operat-
ing and traffic also gets deserved pro-
motion. Mr.. Ingraham, who was
formerly third vice-president, is also
promoted to vice president, still retain.
ing charge of lands and industries of
the system.

 The little company stopped to rest in a beautiful valley beside the banks of a swift stream. He watched Jane as she moved away from the stretcher which held Bansemer, following her to the edge of the stream where she had come to gaze pensively into the future.
