DECISION COMING SOON.
Judge Swan viii Determine Jurisdie-
ton In Michigan Loan Case.

Judge Swan stated to attorneys In
the much-litigated Michigan Savings
& Loan Case, Monday, that he would
render a decision on the question OF
court Jurisdiction this week. This
question embraces the allegations OF
fraud In the commencement OF the
suit, and In the receivership made by
stockholders last year. Whatever the
decision, 1t Is likely that the beaten
side will appeal to the circuit court
of appeals In Cincinnati.
Attorney Paul B. Moody introduced
q motion in this case to stay all pro-
ceedings for time. This was argued
against by DeForest Paine. attorney
for the receiver, who argued that
Moody's client, Henry A. Cleland. had
but a small interest In the matter.
Moody replied holly that the proceed
ing was brought on behalf Of major.
ity of the stockholders In the com.
pany and that even small stock
holder had rights In court. Both the
complainant and the defendant In the
suit had abandoned the case, he as
serted. and IL stockholders were
barred from Directing. only the re-
ceiver and his attorney would have
any voice in court.

Death Of Mrs. P. J. Robottom

The sudden death of Mrs. Percy
]. Robottom, the wife of Dean Ro-
bottom, Sunday evening, was a great
shock to the people of Titusville and
the whole county of Brevard. Al
though Mrs. Robottom was known
to be in rather frail health, she was
an active, energetic person and, no
doubt, made the constant effort to
give evidence of more physical
strength than she really possessed
for the sake of those about her.
Sunday about noon she was taken
suddenly i'll and grew rapidly worse
until the end came at 6:l5 o'clock.
Doctors Utley and Wilson were
called in attendance and although
everything was done that medical
skill could do to restore her, it was
of no avail.
Dean Robottom was telegraphed
at Eau Gallie, where he had an ap-
pointment that evening, and came
via launch to Cocoa, and there an
automobile brought him to Titus
vile about the midnight hour.
Miss Mollie Robottom was at Eau
Gallie that day, having gone down
with launch party that morning,
and arrived home shortly after mid
night on the Iris which went to meet
them, and missed them at Cocoa but
picked the party up at City Point on
her return, having gone nearly to
Eau Gallie.
The funeral was postponed un-
til Wednesday afternoon at 2:3O
to allow the elder son, Kent, to ar
rive home from Annapolis.
The funeral service was most beau
tiful and impressive, conducted by
Archdeacon Bowker, of Orlando,
whose reference to death and the
resurrection seemed almost an in
spiration. The archdeacon was as
sisted by Rev. Wilder, of Daytona,
and Rev. Cresson, of City Point.
Special and appropriate music was
rendered by the choir; also the beau
tiful solo, Face to Face, was sung by
Mrs. c. H. Walton with much feeling.
A large concourse of friends at
tended the service in st. Gabriels
church, after which the ceremonies
were concluded at the grave in Tt
tusville cemetery, where temporary
interment was made.
The following served as active pail
bearers: F. A. Morgan, Rufus Rob
bins, w. F. Green, D. B. Pritchard,

That half the meat eaten in the
United States can be called unin-
spected and that a real and serious
danger to the public exists as a re-
suit, is one of the conclusions reach
ed by DIR. A. d. Melvin, chief of the
United States bureau of animal in
dustry, in his annual report to the
secretary of agriculture. Ineficiency
of the government inspection be-
cause of its lack of authority to reach
business done entirely within a state,
is given as one of the causes, and DR..
Melvin points out the great need of
supplementing the government in
spection of meats with state and

BIG EXTENSION CHANGES
The ROadbsd from Homestead South
TO be Substantially Rebuilt

" W DuuOtauIlolIy hoUuIlL
AS result of the conference Of of
ficials of the Florida East Coast Rail-
way at st. Augustine, all of the con-
struction work on the extension from
Homestead to knights Key has been
turned back to the construction de-
partment, under Mr.. Krone. This
work was placed under the direction
of the operating department about a
year ago.
The method of construction has
been changed in several places. The
sole aim from this time on, will be to
make the roadbed absolutely storm
proof. The exact details of construc-
tion have not yet been determined
upon, but concrete will play an i'm
portant part.
Engineer Ernest Cotton in an ninter-
view with the Key West Citizen stat
ed that the forces which are engaged
on the grade between Key West and
Knights Key will be removed and
concentrated on each end. The idea
being to begin on the ends and work
toward the center instead of the pres
ent method of working at different
points. This work is practically
completed with the exception of the
water ways. An unloading dock is to
be built at Key West, and pile driv-
er for this purpose will soon be sent
there.
The former plan of work along the
grade was to hope that a hurricane
would not come before completion.
This question of uncertainty hasbeen
done away with now, and all work
done will be in condition to withstand
any force of wind that may come.
This will possibly delay the entrance
of the road to Key West but it makes
its coming an assured fact, whereas,
another storm under the old policy
would delay the work almost indefi-
nitely.
The camp at West Summerland will
be closed and the force there will be
moved to Pigeon Key. All concrete
piers have been built from Knights
Key to Pigeon Key, and over half
are completed from Pigeon Key to
Mosier Channel.
On the whole, Mr.. Cotton states
that Key West was never more GER
tain of having a railroad than at the
present time, and when it gets there
it will be constructed in a manner
that no storm ever heard of will wipe
it out of existence.

their children were born.
In 1900 Dean Robottom accepted
