The sheriff had planned for just
such an emergency by taking the

been placed a short distance away so

Headquarters at Tallahassee.

TALLAHASSEE. April THAT the
prohibition crowd Is active and pro-
pose waging a fight at this session Of
the Legislature in the interest Of
State wide prohibition. Is evidenced by
the fact that at a caucus yesterday
afternoon Hon. J. p. Stokes OF Escam-
bia county was unanimously nominal
ed for the position Of Speaker pro
tenn Of the House.
At the general caucus Monday night
Mr.. Stokes voted for Hon. Ion l.. Far
ris for Speaker OF the House. and IL
Is said that his colleague from Escam-
bia, Hon. G. l.. Wiggin. opposed his
nomination In the prohibition caucus
for Speaker pro TEN on this ground.
The prohibitiOnists say they will go
right ahead perfecting their Organiza-
ton i'm order to wage as effective a
campaign as possible.
They now have on their side Hon
r. NJ. Hudson, OF the Thirteenth dis
trict president Of the Senate. and with
a Speaker pro TEN Of the House they
believe they will be placed az an ad-
vantage.
In order TO bring about the enact

Statewide prohibition. the cOnstitu-

tackled first II is proposed TO intro

might differ with him. as he recogniz-
ed ability i'm Mr.. Massey He. how
ever. considered II his duty to the
State to make known his objection.
Senator Harris OF Key West urged
that the matter be referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.
Senator Beard amended to refer to
a special committee OF three.
Senator McMullen urged that Mr..
Massey be sworn I'm. as his election
was properly certified TO the body and
that no evidence had been introduced
to prove the charge. He suggested
that Mr.. Massey be sworn, as he had
a prima facie case that he was duly
elected and that the case be looked
into when the regular committees are
chosen.
Upon motion of Senator Harris OF
Key West the matter was held over
until the Senate could complete its
organization by swearing in the at
taches. The oath was administered to
them.
A committee composed Of FlOuTnOy.
Grill and Leggett, was appointed to
wait on the House, and one. composed
Of West. Henderson and Whitney, TO
notify the Governor that the Senate
was in session.
A recess OF five minutes was taken.
pending the return OF the committee.
Governors Message.
The Governors message was receiy-

tary.
Senator McMullen held that Senator
Boards contention was untenable. as
Mr. Massey was only an attorney TO

ed that under such a contention an
attorney 10 a board OF county commits
sioners could not hold a seat in the

senator Beard suggested a special
committee Of five. but the motion was

about correct. but whether or not they
can enlist enough strength 90 pass

However. Il is felt that their efforts
to invoke sympathy have met with
some success. as indicated by the
status Of the present state Of affairs
The Anti-SalOon League and the
WOman's Christian Temperance Tn
ion both have delegates here. The
first organization has established
headquarters over J. ID. Gays harness
store. while the latter organisation
has It's headquarters at the Constan-
tine House.
AS a simple effort to enlist sympathy
for their cause. the organizations
placed bouquets Of flowers on each OF
the desks Of the members Of the two
houses Of the Legislature. To each
OF the bouquets was tied a card bear
ing a scriptural quotation. The men,
bers OF the two organizations were In
evidence and watched with intense
interest the proceedings of the two

1rast TO the uninteresting initial SEES
sion Of the Lower House. the opening
session OF the Senate developed a sur
prise that has proven the main topic
OF discussion I'm hotel Hobbies and on
the streets OF the State capital.
The surprise was produced I'm the
shape OF a protest entered by Senator
Beard Of Pensacola against the seat
ing Of Hon. L. c. Massey of Orlando,
upon constitutional grounds. The
fact that Mr.. Massey is an attorney
for the State Railroad Commission
brought him under the prohibition Of
Section , Of the State constitution as
construed by Senator Beard. The
Senate took a different view, however.
and seated the gentleman from the
Nineteenth.
The Organization.
w. Hunt Harris OF Key West called
the Senate TO order and ordered the
roll Of hold-Over Senators. The newly
elected Senators advanced four at a
time and with right hand upon a Bible
took the solemn oath Of Office from
Judge COckrell.
Senator Beard of Pensacola Chal-
lenged the eligibility OF l.. c. Massey
of Orlando. The Chair asked Mr.. Mas
sey TO take his seat i'm order that the
matter might be considered by the
whole Senate. Mr.. Massey took his
seat under protest.
Prayer was delivered by the chap
lain. Don c. Mullen moved To proceed
with the election OF officers and at
taches. Mr.. McMullen, seconded by
Mr.. Dayton Of Dade City, nominated
Mr. Hudson for president
McMullen. Henderson OF Eighth and

that the recent election Of the strik-

for himself and other manufacturers

TAFT'S HAND
in THE TARIFF

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE pro-
gressives are jubilant today over the
downward revision" statement issued
by President Taft yesterday, after his
heart to- heart talk with the twenty
three congressman who had appealed
to him against the proposition Of free
hides. free coal, free oil, and free iron
ore.
The vital part Of the Presidents
statement delivered to twetny- three Re
publican members Of Congress, who
called upon him TO protest against put
ting certain raw materials on the free
list. is found in the following sentence
which, while in the third person, is the
Presidents own language:
"He felt strongly the call Of the
country for downward revision with
ing the limits Of the protective prin-
ciple. and he hoped to be able to re-
spond to that call as he heard it. as
well in the interests Of the party as
OF the country"
The Presidents statement created a
decided sensation among Senators and
Representatives when they heard Of IT,
II was the first Official declaration on
the tariff made by the President since
his special message 10 congress at the
beginning of the extra session.
The statement makes II clear that
the President win insist upon down
ward revision" within the limitations OF
the protective principle" This is gen.
orally taken to mean that he favors
the Payne bill over the Aldrich bill
As 10 the question OF free raw ma
teriais. the statement shows that tho
President Is still OF open mind. He Is
inclined 10 believe that duties are not
necessary ON the articles ne mentions
But he IS from Missouri"
That the whole tariff situation Is now
in the hands OF the President. is ad.
mitted. The conferees have decided I,
pass all their differences up TO tn,

SUICIDE ENDS
THIS ROMANCE
Parents Objected To Austrian
NObleman Marrying
Chicago Girl

CHICAGO, H.. July 17-Because his
rich relatives prevented him from
marrying a beautiful Chicago girl,
Baron Oskar Rothschild. youngest son
Of the famous Baron Rothschilds of
Vienna, ended his life in Vienna last
Monday night by firing a bullet into
his brain.
This is a statement in special cable

The Chicago girls name is olga
Mem. She is the daughter Of Or.
Rudolph Menn. attending physician Of
the German Hospital here. When
Baron OsSar Rothschild landed IN san
Francisco two months ago, he was
accompanied by Captain Switzer. an
Austrian nobleman as travelling
companion. The Captain became iil
and the Baron hurried to Chicago Cor
treatment for him. He was placed in
the German Hospital under the care of
DR.. Menn and Rothschild visited HIM
every day. The doctor and Rothschild
became fast friends and soon the
physician arranged a dinner party at
mis- home where the Baron could meet
the members Of his family. There
Rothschild met Olga and his romance
began. IL was love at first sight.
In less than a week, Rothschild had
declared his love and was accepted,
gaining the consent Of the girls par
ents.
lie then cabled the news OF his on-
gagement 60 his father in Vienna and
received in reply a cable urging him to
wait for a while before marrying. DIT
Menn endorsed this. and Rothschild hur-
ried to Europe to plead with his father
after arranging for Olga and her mother
TO follow.
Arriving at Vienna. however. the youns
man received storm rebuff from his
parents. who refused absolutely TO con
sent to any alliance with an American
/ girl.
Baron Oskar broken hearted, returned
10 Hamburg where he told the girl his
| fathers decision and the engagement wal
broken. Olga cahled ner father and al
most simultaneously came another dis
patch stating the young man had ende,
his life a suicide. II was reported al tn
time he had fallen in love with a Viennes
girl, but Olga Menn IS the one.
