DISORDER IN HOUSE
The subject Under Considerp sion Was
the JacksonviIne Charter Hill
Speaker Fnrris Chnngcd HIS
Courne ON Measure.

Tallahassee. Fla, May 2s.--(special.)
with Speaker Pro Tenn Stokes In the
chair. the House Of Representatives
passed through an ordeal today not
often confronted with. and the master
way In which Mr.. Stokes handled the
gavel, prevented another reign OF dis
order as was occasioned Wednesday
night The subject under considera-
ton was the same Jacksonville char
ter bill.
Speaker Farris. representing Duval
County, after taking the stand on We'd
nesday night not wishing the charter
submitted to the people. changed his
course today and offered an amend
ment to the bill instituting the ref
erendum clause. This occasioned q
great battle. as II was through the
efforts Of Mr.. Farris that the refer
endum was defeated upon Wednesday
night When Farris concluded. his coll
league. Hon. Frank Chase. followed,
opposing the new stand of Farris.
When this condition, the division Of
the Duval delegation, was noted by the
members. the same confusion and
pandemoniunt commenced. but this
time Mr.. stokes occupied the chair
and seeing the situation at once called
for orders stationing the sergeant-at-
arms upon the floor He refused to
allow any further business until the
confusion was subjected, and subject
ed II was. The fight resumed. many
times members participating became
personal. but general order prevailed.
The amendment. however. was voted
down. After the EFFORT to adjourn the
House failed, the reading of the bill
resumed.
When Farris was recognized to Of
fer the Amendment, Chase arose to a
point Of order. Addressing himself to
the chair, he said:
WAS II not the agreement that
should retain the floor throughout the
reading OF the bill /" 49,
Speaker Stokes replied: Il DO not
belong to the Jacksonville delegation,
and have entered into no such agree
ment."
When the race track bill was re-
ported from the Senate, an effort to
waive the rules and consider the bill
upon it's final passage failed. recelv-
ing a large majority, however. but
not the requisite thirds for waiver
of rules. Bill was then referred to
Committee on Miscellaneous Legisla-
tion. which practically means that It
can not be reached on its regular or
der at this session, for were II reported
back at once. the calendar is too thick
to dispense with before Friday.

CROPS INUNDATED.


Recent Heavy Rains Caused Much
Damage Near DemopOlis.
Demopolfs. May 2g.--(Special.) 1.-The
heavy rainfall OF this week has caused
great damage In this section. The
creeks are very high, the rivers also
ami still rising.
Thousands of acres OF growing corn
and cotton are inundated. The low
lands will have to be planted over
again. Reports come in from every
direction of the heavy DANCE to the
upland crops on account OF the land
ibenR so badly washed, In addition to
the humiliation of the bottoims. The
farmers are weeping and wailing, SO
to speak, and are deeply depressed.
Some of the philosophical ones say 1t
is blessing In disguise that the lands
can yet produce a good crop OF corn
planted In June. so 1t is now thought
that thousands OF acres will be put
in corn that had been planted in cot.
