The Banner Explains
It's Straw Man.

The Ocala Banner explains the
origin of its straw man as follows:
The straw man that The Journal al
ludes to was put up by no less a dis
tinguished Individual than the attor-
ney general of the state Of Florida.
The Banner proceeded In it's efforts
to annihilate the straw man. and from
The Journals criticism It concludes
that It succeeded In It's mission.
Quoting from the attorney general
a local contemporary had the follow
ing to say:
Attorney General Park M. Tram

PLAN TO GET EXPOSITION.
Subcommittee Discusses Capitals
Chances for 1915 Celebration.

Plans for obtaining for Washington the
celebration of the opening of the Panama
canal in 1915 were discussed at a meet
ing this afternoon Of the joint subcOm-
mittee Of the committees OF the Board Of
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce ap-
pointed to take up this matter. The meet
ing was held in the offices of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
While no statement was given out 1t
is understood that a plan has been framed
partially for obtaining the celebration
and the International exposition, which it
is expected will be held at the same time.
II it is accepted by the committees of the
two trade bodies and by the bodies them
selves it is probable that the plan will
be submitted to Congress and a bill in
troduced to hold the celebration in Wash
ington-
Already many members of Congress
have expressed their desire to hold the
celebration of the canal opening here.
Representative j. Hampton Moore of
Pennsylvania was one of the first to go
on record in favor of the plan, and he
may be selected to Introduce the bill in
the House.
An attempt will be made to get a joint
meeting of the two committees within the
next two days. and IL the plan already
framed IS accepted it probably will be
made public at that time.

houses in Hudson county, New Jersey.
In one, he said, he saw what appeared
to be blocks of black stone, and upon
inquiry he found it to be liver. Poultry,
he said, had been found that was kept
from fifteen months to two years. The
board of health found turkeys in one
storage that were black. In that instance
the warehouse proprietor explained that
the owner had probably forgotten them.

of Washington.

A through electric line from Boston,
Mass, to Norfolk, Va, by way of New
York. Philadelphia, Hanover, Pa, Wash
ington, Fredericksburg and Richmond, is
being planned, it is said, by New York
capitalists. So far as could be learned
today, Washington capital is not at pres
emit interested in the scheme, although
considerable interest vas expressed in the
the city.
A charter. it is said already has been
granted the Baltimore and Philadelphia
Company, which plans to establish fast
electric service between Washington and
Boston by way Of Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York. The intention of
the recently chartered company Is to
amalgamate the electric railways now in
operation along the route mapped out
for the Washingt3n-Boston road, and to
connect up by new tracks these urban.
suburban and interurban roads already
in existence.
Capital Stock, $4,000, 900.
The capital stock for this company has
been set at not less than $5,OOO.0OO. The
capital is needed to connect UP the roads
all ready in existence north from Wash
ington and to straighten out bad curves
and generally make 1T possible to operate
fast through service.
]. Pierce Bruins, capitalist and electric
railway engineer, is said to be at the
head of the movement to form this huge
company. 1t is not the purpose of the
company to enter into the heavy freight
field, it is said, but to establish fast
passenger service and a fast light freight.
Three separate companies. it is said.
are looking after the extensions of the
line south of Washington. 1t is expected
that the lines will be connected with
Colonial Beach, Ashland, Fredericksburg,
Richmond and Norfolk. One advantage
of the new line would be to bring Wash
ington within an hours journey Of Co
lonial Beach, cutting off more than three
hours of the time now consumed by the
water trip.

TESTS IN COLD STORAGE
DIR. WILEY TELLS OF EXPERT
MENTS BY JURY"
Says That Poultry Should Not Be
Kept Longer Than Nine
Months.

The blessings and the wrongs of the
system of cold storage of foods in vogue
in this country were set forth before
the Senate committee on manufactures
today. The witnesses were DR.. II. w.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry
of the Department of Agriculture and
better known as the governments pure
food expert, and Pierre P. Garven, prose-
cutor of the pleas of Hudson county,
New Jersey, who presented testimony be-
fore the county grand jury regarding
cold storage that resulted in indictments.
The bill before the committee, as the
subject of the hearing, was that recon-
mended by the Senate committee on the
high cost Of living. 1t provides that food
that has been in cold storage for a longer
period than one year shall be held to

The Jury was next given some
chicken that had been in cold storage
for six months alongside of fresh fowl
There was again a divergence Of opin-
ion, but the majority of the jury pre-
ferred the fresh chicken. When the
chicken that had been in storage for
nine months was given the jury with
them to indicate which was fresh and
which was storage-the members of the
jury were overwhelmingly able to pick
out the old fowl by expressing their
preference for the taste of the fresh

been in cold storage for year were

AS the result of these experiments. DR..
Wiley told the committee that poultry
should not be allowed to be kept in cold
storage for longer than nine months, and
he declared that the same experiments
with eggs showed similar results.
DIR. Wiley suggested two amendments
to the bill under consideration. First. he
wants q provision made for the inspection
Of foods before they are placed in cold
storage to determine that they are fit to
be kept and used for food after several
months. Secondly, he wants the bill to
specify that goods that are kept frozen
