The Cold Wave

Acold wave from the plains of Tex
as and the Panhandle reached Florida
Saturday morning. causing a decided
drop in the temperature Sunday and
Monday when the government ther-
mometer registered as low as % and
80 degrees on the days respectively
mentioned.
Notwithstanding that the warm
weather all winter had caused much
tender growth to put out, the cold
did not last long enough either Sun
day or Monday morning to do any
material damage to citrus trees, but
beans and tomatoes suffered consid-
erably, and replanting is the order of
the day.
Yesterday morning the tempera-
ture was down again, but not quite
as low as Sunday. Hence Florida
has experienced one real whole week
of wintry weather and the wonder is
that more damage has not resulted.
The records show that it was cold
er on the Gulf coast than on the East
Coast, the temperature at Tampa be-
ing down to q degrees.

planning Mill
BURNT SUNDAY
Big Saw Mill Of ths TituSYills Lumber
Company Has Narrow Escape

AO9 aeNeFN
The planning mill, dry kiln and en-
tire stock of yard lumber of the Tt
tusville Lumber Co. was totally de-
stroyed by fire Sunday morning and
only the fierce wind from the north
west and heroic work of the mill men
and hands saved the big saw mill from
destruction.
The fire was discovered about 2:10
a. m. and it was started in three diff
ferent places just after the night
watchman had made his usual hourly
round, which is recorded by punching
at eleven places on the plant.
When the men went to the hose
to fight the fire they found that same
had been cut by the incendiaries and
thus they had to stand helpless and see
the planning mill, the dry kiln and the
lumber in the yards, estimated at be-
tween 100000 and a million feet,
mostly dressed stuff, consumed by
the devouring flames.
Five cars (three fats and two box
cars) on the side track, all but one
loaded with lumber, were destroyed
and even the ties on the main track
were burnt out and rails twisted.
The fire held back three northbound
and one southbound train until after
10 a. m. that morning before the
track could be repaired and the heat
had subdued enough for them to pass
by.
We are informed that the loss is
estimated at between SIS, ZOO and
$50, 900; that is it would require this
sum to replace the destroyed portion
of the plant and estimating the stock
of lumber at conservative figures.
There is $50, 900 insurance on the eli
tire plant, but until the loss has been
adjusted by the insurance compa-
MES representatives nothing further
can be given out in this respect.
The plant is owned by Messrs. Hen
ry Pritchett, of Jacksonville, and his
brother, William Pritchett, of Dub
lin, Ga.
The big mill is now cutting lumber
in the rough and will take care of all
orders sent in. A planning mill for
sizing the lumber from the saw mill
will probably be put in as quickly as
possible, and the dry kiln will neces.
sarily have to be rebuilt, but present
plans do not contemplate as full q
planning mill as before.
The fire is disaster, not only tC
the owners, but hurts us all, as il
throws about three dozen men out Oi
employment, all of whom have beer
patrons of our business firms.
1t is supposed the fire was the
work of incendiarieS as an attempt
was made several weeks ago t
burn the plant, but it was diScov
cred when only a small blaze and ;
partially burnt handkerchief was Sc
cured from the shavings which i
held when fired. That attempt at
O'Clock p. m. was fOiled, but this las
one in the early morning hours wa.
too late in being discovered, and witt
the fierce winds, cut open hose anC
no steam pressure to give the alarm
wrought the destruction of thOus
ands of dollars of property.

PRICE OF BREAD UP.
Nearly All Bakers Decide on Advance
at Last.

Topeka bakers are at last falling
into line behind the bakers of nearly
all the other large cities in the coun-
try and are advancing the price of
bread or reducing the weight of the
loaves.
With the millers paying s12s for
wheat and flour at 1910 a hundred
several days ago the local bakers,
when interviewed, stated that they
would be able to maintain the full
the price of flour has advanced an
other 10 cents a hundred, wheat is
being bought at $1.35 to $40 and the
bakers have at last begun to realize
that the high price of -four is not
merely an affair of a day.
The hesitancy of the local trades
men to advance their prices is likely
due to competitive relations. Topeka
bakers nave no organizations among
themselves and competition is open.
me man who can maintain his bust
ness at the old rates, both in price
and weights, is expected to gain a
prestige.
Some shops have been producing
under weight loaves since the first of
the week, labelling them as fractions
of the weight of the legal loaf as pro-
vided for by the legislature, and SELL
ing at cents. Another bakery has
announced that they will maintain
their full pound loaf but advance the
that they will neither lower the
weights nor raise the price so far as
they can now see, but continue max
ing the 16 ounce loaves for 5 cents.
That is the way the matter now
stands. The prices of wheat and flour
have scared to the highest mark in
years. still it is uncertain how long it
will hold. There has been a posi-
bility of the bears beating the market
down several times which has caused
the quotations to waver often enough
to found the suspicion that prices
would soon break and tumble to
nearer normal point. But the supply
Of -four on hand at the bakeries is ex-
hausted and the renewal of the supply
at so high figure necessitates the
demand for higher prices there also.
In Topeka the higher prices are not
expected to cause any special hard
ships but from the great cities where
bread is now sold at and cents
there come reports of suffering and
hunger which is all attributed to Pat
ten and his crowd at Chicago. Thous-
ands of poor in these cities have the
5 cents but not the 6. That is a fine
line but nevertheless literally true for
the raise of one cent has undoubtedly
caused the thousands to suffer hunger

HE REACHES THE TOP.
From the Ranks to the Head of n. Y.
Uniformed Police.

New York City, April 21.-With the
advan cement to head of the uniform
police force of this city. Max f.
Schmittberger. one of the most unique
and interesting characters in the en-
tire police force, is brought to the at
tention of the world for a second time
For Is years Max Schmittberger has
fought his way against most unusual
odds to his present high position of
honor and esteem.
1t was / 5 years ago that Schmittber-
ger first attracted the attention of the
entire country in connection with the
investigation of New York's police de-
partment. The absolute rottenness of
the system" in New York has never
been paralleled in another city. The
men at the head of the department
were accepting brides right and left to
protect resorts of all kinds from ar
rest Not only were houses of il1-repute
and gambling dens actually sanction
ed under this regime, but thieves were
openly allowed to prey on New York's
inhabitants and were immune from
punishment by the payment of a cer-
tain stipend.
1t was in the investigation of the
police department and the upheaval
which followed, that William T. Je-
rome, the present district attorney,
and John w. Golf, now justice of the
. supreme court. received their first
start in their remarkable careers and
that Max F. Schmittberger openly tes-
titled against himself and his super
iors and supposed that his career was
ended on this account
His own testimony. given upon the
oscillation of Jerome. Schmittber-
gers wife and Rev. Father Ducey for
the sake of Righteousness. was enough
to have sent him over the road, for he
admitted having taken money and of
having assisted the system" in every
way possible.
But Max Schmittberger was a
changed man from that day. Rev. DR..
Charles H. Parkhurst believed in him
in spite of his admitted crime and he
believed that Schmittberger. IL he
turned over a new leaf. had the max
ing of just such a man as New York
most needed
The ) years since the horrible up
heaxal have borne out DR. Parkhurst' s
convictions for since that day, while
working against the greatest of odds
and the greatest of handicaps Schmitt-
berger has continued to progress up
the line. and now he has just been
made head Of the uniformed police
force of New York city. and this is a
high distinction. During the time he
has had pitted against him not only all
of the criminal class of New York city,
but many of the political powers.
which have sought his downfall. Fax
