Breaking Jail at DeLand

Thursday night of last week five
negro prisoners broke out of the
county Jail at DeLand, making their
escape by digging out under the wall
of the building from the floor of the
corridor. Four of the prisoners were

just been sentenced to hang for muir

yet been tried for killing the Geiger

was sentenced last week to life i'm

was very lax conduct for a jailor to
allow such desperate characters, who

freedom of the corridor, and espec-
tally so at night.

Surveying Canal for Government
Gathering data about the florida
Coast Line canal for the United States
government Capt. o. N. Bic, aboard
the steamer Mcclure, is en- route
down the inside route from St. Au-
gustine this week making investiga-
tons. Capt. j. j. Mickler is in COM
mand of the boat.
The Mcclure is q government boat
and has been employed in pulling
snags out of the st. Johns river. She
left the mouth of the st. Johns river
last Saturday morning in tow of the
powerful tug, Three Friends, and ar
rived in st. Augustine in less than
four hours by five minutes.
From there the boat proceeded
down the canal, and will go as far
as Key West. Capt. Bic will make
soundings and borings along the canal
and natural waterway ascertaining
the depth of water and the character
of the bottom. He expects the trip
to consume a couple of months.
This trip is made with the object
of securing information for the gov
eminent which is indispensable in
placing a valuation on the canal
which the government is contempla-
ting purchasing.
Capt. Bic and Capt. Mickler are
comfortably situated aboard the boat
having the comforts of hotel. The
superstructure of the boat contains a
large office which is also used for a
dining room. There are two spacious
staterooms and bathroom, also plenty
of deck room.
Drawing only three and one-half
feet of water the Mcclure will have
no difficulty in navigating the canal.
She is 20 feet in length and Is feet
beam and is equipped with sob. p.
engine. She also carries a derrick
operated by an engine capable of lift
ing a ton. This derrick is used for
removing snags from navigable
streams.
In the event of the government ac-
quiring the canal the same will be
deepened to ten feet and will prob
ably also be widened.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT RESOLUTION PASSED
PrOhibitiOnistS Had No Trouble Get,
ting Their Bill Through for
Submission to the PUODle

BY a vote of 81 to Is the Florida
house Of representatives on Saturday
voted to adopt the McMullen prohi-
bition resolution as passed by the
senate the day previous by vote of
"a to z. The fight for the temper
ance hosts was led by Representative
Hilburn, of Palatka, while Repre-
sentative MacWilliams of st. Johns,
eloquently, though vainly, tried to
stem the tide which was running so
strong for wiping out the liquor bus
mess from Florida.
Immediately following the adop-
ton of the resolution Mr.. MacWil-
liams, of St. Johns county, gave
notice of a motion to reconsider.
While he is a local optionist and has
fought valiantly against the resolu-
ton, he voted in the affirmative,
thereby giving to him the privilege
of moving for a reconsideration I'M
der the rules of the house. While it
is possible, it is hardly probable that
the house will reconsider its action as
it requires a two-thirds vote to de-
termine.
The resolution, which was adopted
by the senate the preceding day by a
vote of "a to z, provides for an amend
ment to the constitution for submis-
sion of the prohibition question to
the people of the state at the next
general election, which according to
the constitution, will be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November 1910.
The resolution further provides
that should prohibition carry at this
election the law shall not be enforced
until after six months shall have
elapsed from the date Of election.
This provision was made, it is stated
in order to allow the saloon men am
pie time in which to dispose of their
stocks.

Florida is Now in Line

The Florida legislature has sub
mitted the prohibition question to
the people, to be settled at the polls
in 1910.
In strong article on this all i'm
portant subject the Miami Metropo-
lis alludes as follows:
'The fight from now on will be a
strenuous one, for although a great
majority of Florida's counties are
dry, the thickly populated counties
where are located the larger cities,
are wet, and the friends and enemies
Of liquor are about evenly divided.
The negro vote, which is largely in
favor of the whiskey element will be
a factor in the election and it is
thought for this reason, many white
men who would otherwise be disin-
terested in the issue, will cast their
votes for the dry side on account of
the negro alliance with the whiskey
element. In this manner, too, the
voting strength of Florida will be de-
termined.
THE anti-prohibitionists fought
hard against the adoption of the res
Olution, and even pleaded that there
was chance of passing a prohibition
bill through the legislature. The
prohibitionists have fought the liquor
element so long that they did not
heed the suggestion of their enemies,
knowing it to be insincere. Thepr
hibitionists preferred a square fight
at the polls where they feel sure of
victory.
''The people of Florida know what
the issue before them means. They
know that prohibition prohibits if
: the proper officers are elected and
they know that the saloon evil and
drink curse are the top-liners in the
cause of crime. The people of Flor
ida know that the old campaign cry
of the whiskey houses that saloons
help town is an absolute lie. The
people of Miami know that of the five
or six murders, wherein white men
killed white men in this county with
in the past year, whiskey was at the
bottom of all the crimes. Whiskey
did it. Ask the men who killed their
fellow men if that isn't true.
ION the other hand, the liquor in
terests are large in this state. They
should be allowed to dispose of their
property rather than, have it voted
away from them. Between now and
November, of 1910, the saloon-keep-
ers and wholesale liquor houses
should find opportunity of selling out
and going into some other business.
A year and half is plenty of time
to get rid of the property. We be-
lieve this is the best thing for the
liquor people to do, sell out, for your
business will be condemned at the
polls. The people will no longer IL
cense it and you will then have no
foot to stand on"

spruce, and several other woods were
used in smaller quantities.
While the oaks, and particularly the
white oaks, have always been the
preferred woods for cross ties and
still form large proportion of the
total, the increasing prices which the
roads have had to pay for satisfactory
| oak ties are forcing them to look
more and more for substitutes. This
accounts in part for the great variety
of woods reported. White oak, m
! treated, makes a tie which gives ex.
cellent service for many years, but it
has been found possible to take woods
which naturally are not durable, give
them treatment with either creo-
sote or zinc chloride, which will pre-
vent decay, and thus get much longer
! service from them than can be secured
from untreated oak ties. Among the
,' woods which have been most largely
" treated SO far are the yellow pines,
