truder and told of the fierce strug-
gle she had with him and the bite
she gave him, causing him to flee. In
his flight he dropped his hat, which,
with the bite she gave him, served
as a clue that led to his arrest Har-

lives in the outskirts of the city.
Under the verdict he was given life
sentence.

victed on the charge of manslaugh-
ter for the killing OF Earle Trammell

months ago and found guilty of man
slaughter, was sentenced to serve
twelve years in the pen. John Col
Inns, convicted of killing Jot Lock
man last Christmas Eve, and who

Beirut, BY Cable.-The situation in
Asiatic Turkey is one of extreme
gravity. How many thousands have

been done to death in the towns of
other districts. The state of siege
which several of the places are unde-
going. has brought the inhabitants to
the vcrge of starvation.

The young Turks seem to have

pany Has All II Needs In Oil.

New York City.-Standard Oil
men, with Standard Oil dividends, are
reaching out for the larger retail
trade.
They are applying to the field OF
investment the Standard Oil methods
which have proven so potent in every
line of competitive business to which
they have previously been applied.
The retail lines which have recent
ly attracted the attention of the men
who have been trained by the master
hand Of John D. Rockefeller embrace:
Drugs,
Soap,
Candies,
Peanuts,
Milk,
Starch,
Glucose products,
Restaurants.
For more than a year the work
OF absorbing or, at any rate, gaining
a controlling interest in enterprises,
which in many instances seem to
have no connection with the produc-
ton OF oil. has been going on quietly
but actively, and the complete roster
probably would make interesting
reading.
Some of these concerns in which
'-5:v!dual stockholders of the Stand
ard OIL Company are heavily inter-
ested are the Hegeman Drug Com
pany, Childs' chain of restaurants,
the Corn Products Refining Company,
the New York Glucose Company and
the National Starch Company. But
there are more to come Reports,
which bear every evidence of verify
are current that a great candy estab-
lishment with many branches in New
York and other cities has recently
passed into the control of Standard
Oil interests
Peanuts and milk probably will be
next on the list, for the same reports,
based on excellent authority, are that
these oil interests have already OBJ
tained control Of what Is known as
the peanut trust. and will soon, II
they have not already, acquire one of
the most extensive milk producing
businesses In the country.
All these transactions are the out
come of what Is known as the "in-
vestment department" of the Stand
ard Oil Company. This Is entirely
for the benefit of the large stockhold-
ers and the work Is conducted in an
unobtrusive manner.
Money Must Not Be Idle.
So thoroughly does the Standard
OIL Company now cover the ground
and the earth that 1t has all the capt.
tai that 1t needs and Is practically i'm
possible to put more money back into
the industry, which yields annually
millions in profit. Standard Oil divi-
dends, therefore. are constantly seek
Ing reinvestment, for 1t is one OF the
axioms OF John d: Rockefeller him
self that money must not be idle. The
head of the investment department
or bureau was until recently a man
who Is now a banker and broker in
Wall street. There has been a reor-
ganization lately, but the search for
good opportunities is under the gen.
eral direction of an accomplished
financial scout who has a corps of
trained assistants.
There are numerous firms or COM
panies which have an established rep
utation and feel that II they had ad-
ditional capital they might greatly
extend their business. While they
are making inquiries they may re-
ceive visit from an agent, who says
that he has heard something of their
endeavors and intimates that IL the
enterprise meets the approval of his
principals 1t would be possible to
come to an agreement.

securing the bonds for the principal
sum of 100000 900 will constitute a
first lien upon all of the property Of
the company, including its equip
ment valued at more than $SS, 0O0,-
600.
The remaining 81, 900, 900 of these
bonds will be reserved to be issued
for new equipment and construction,
under careful limitation and restric-
tons, which are fully set forth in the
mortgage.
The railroad is to be extended, con-
structed and completed from Knights
Key to Key West out Of the proceeds
of 81, OOO,O 900 new common stock Of
the company, to be purchased at par
by Mr.. Flagler.
The $3.50, 900 interest annually ac-
cruing upon the $1O,0O0,OO0 first
mortgage bonds now proposed to be
issued, will be substantially less than
the net earnings of the company
available for the payment of interest
charges during each of the last five
fiscal years, as set forth in the above
table. For the current fiscal year,
such net earnings are more than dou-
BILE such interest charge. These
earnings, it is expected, will steadily
increase, not only by the regular
growth of the business of the COM
pany, but also with the completion
of the important extension to Key
West, for which the funds have been
assured as above stated.
This road is the natural continue
ton of the Atlantic Coast line, the
Southern railway and the SeabOard
Air line to Florida and Cuba, and a
car ferry system between Key West
and Cuba will attract to this line still
larger amounts of traffic which would
otherwise be carried by boats.
Arrangements have been made also
to fund the entire indebtedness of
the railway company subsequent and
subordinate to the new first mort
gage bonds.

Brady and SeweII Get Off
From the Miami Metropolis.

From the Miami Metropolis.
In the matter Of j. K. Mcdonald,
receiver of the Fort Dallas National
bank, of this city, against w. nj.
Brown, E. L. Tuttle and James II.
Gilman, at one time directors Of the
institution, an order has been handed
down by Judge James w. Locke, in
the United States court at Jackson
vile, sustaining the demurrer Of
E. l.. Brady and John Sewell. This
action practically relieves Mr.. Sewell
and Mr.. Brady from liability in the
premises, and the suit against them,
discontinued. The demurrer filed by
Attorney George M. Robbins, de-
clared that these defendants were
not liable on the ground of statute
Limitations. Messrs. Sewell and Bra
dy resigned as directors of the Fort
Dallas National bank in January,
1905, and the suit was brought only
this spring. Had the suit been
brought against them before January
1908, three years after their sever
ence from the institution as directors
the action against them would have
been upheld. 1t is possible, but not
probable, that the attorneys for the
plaintiff will appeal to the United
States circuit court of appeals, plead
| ing the federal limitations OF five
years. This, it is thought, will not
be done, as Messrs. Sewell and Brady
were involved in the declaration of
the plaintiff only to a small extent.

Complaint Has Been Filed

A complaint mas been filed with
the Interstate Commerce commission
in which POP railroads operating in
thirty-seven states were named as
defendants. The complaint wasfiled
by the Florida Fruit & Vegetable
Shippers Assn. and charges that the
railroads in question discriminate
against Florida shippers in Califor-
mia, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas,
Georgia, North and South Carolina
and Cuba in the rates ON citrus fruit,
peaches, pineapples, strawberries,
tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, potatoes,
celery and other fruits and vegeta-
bles.
The complaint says that the rates
from Florida are in all eases rela-
lively and in many instances actually
in excess Of the rates charged for
fruits and vegetables raised in Cali
fornia and the other states named.
The charge is also made that the
Florida shippers are charged more
for refrigeration than shippers in
other portions Of the country.

Made a Great u Discovery

A leading (?) attorney, Col. G. B.
Wells, of the wet city of Tampa, has
raised several questions of law re-
garding the proposed prohibition
amendment to the constitution. The
colonel makes it problenlatical wheth-
er the proposed amendment could be
constitutionally adopted even by the
people themselves; also that in the
event it could, it would not go into
effect until 1913 in order TO allow the
legislature to pass laws to enforce
the provisions of the amendment.
Well-in the event that the colonel
is correct as to the latter point we
think we have governor that would
call an extra session of the legiSla-
ture, if necessary, as soon as the
amendment becomes a law, and we
believe the prohibitionists are per-
fectly willing to take all chances on
the constitutionality of the amend
ment if the people will only vote it.
Now watch the papers in the larger
cities and towns parade Colonel
Wells wonderful discovery to a finish
for spectacular effect.

A new variety of the East Indiar

A new variety of the East Indian
mango, known as the Cambodiana,
is being prepagated by Mr.. John B.
Beach, of West Palm Beach, from
whom plants can be secured. This
fruit averages about four inches in
length and weighs about seven
ounces. 1t has some fiber which,
however, is tender. The flavor is ex-
cellent and distinctly different from
that of any other mango, the tur.
pentine favor being almost entirely
eliminated. -

ONE MONTH AHEAD
ON EXTENSION WORK
Work At Bahia Honda Only Delayed BY
|. Lack Of Material

One Of the railroad engineers who
is in a position to know states that
the progress on the railroad extern
sion south of Knights Key has been
much faster than was anticipated,
and the estimates Of the work which
were made by Mr.. Meredith when he
contemplated having the road COM
pleted in January have been exceeded
everywhere, except, possibly, in Ba-
hia Honda channel where the work
has been delayed by lack of material.
At the present time the other
camps are from thirty to forty-fve
days ahead of Mr.. Meredith's antici-
pations and they are gaining every
day. In the event of some accident
delaying the work for a month they
would still be able to finish the road
in the time stated.
The concrete work in Knights Key
channel has been completed, the piers
now extend across to Pigeon Key and
the force is at work in shallow water
in the Mosier channel which is wider
than the Knight Key channel but
does not present the problems the
engineers had to meet there.
In Bahia Honda channel, though
the work has been delayed on &C
count of a lack of material, satisfac-
tory progress has been made. Nine
of the large steel Golfer dams have
been put in place and sealed, and are
awaiting now for the cement to be
turned in. The placing of the Golfer
dams is the hardest part of the work.
In the swift running channel, where
the sea is more or less rough, it is a
difficult task to drive the sheet steel
on the most accurate lines. The
deepest of the water has been crossed
in this channel and the remaining
nineteen Golfer dams needed to reach
the trestle from the Spanish harbor
side will be placed very rapidly.
Further down the line the grading
and filling is rapidly nearing compile
ton. Fully ninety per cent of the
filling has been finished and has been
turned over to the grading gangs to
lprepare for the crossties. The track
laying gang is still on Pine Key lay
ing rails across that island. Mr..
Cook has taken his force to the chan
mel this side Of Pine Key to grade the
fill and he should complete that work
by the last of the month at which
time the force of track-layers will be
there with the rails.
After completing that job Mr..
Cook will transfer his force to Sugar
Loaf sound where a commissary and
sleeping quarters are being prepared
for two hundred men.
Boca Chica Channel is now the only
one that remains open and it is ex-
pected that the work will begin there
not later than the first of the month.
Engineer Dunn and his force of
men will probably be removed from
Big Coppit to do this work.
1t is expected that the work train
will reach Boca Chica some time in
September.
