In his plunge overheard, however, Mr..
Bullough swallowed a quantity of water.
and while endeavoring to eject it the
boy slipped from his grasp and sank. Mr..
Bullough was himself nearly overcome by
his exertions and had to be assisted

Others May Bring Suit.

The outcome of the proceeding will be
watched with interest, because it has been
supposed hitherto that a defeated COM
plainant before the commission had no
remedy whatever by way of appeal TO
the courts. This is the first proceeding
ever undertaken to mandamus the com
mission to compel it to perform Its duty
under the act, and il it shall be proven
that the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia has supervisory jurisdiction
over the commission it is said that a con-
siderable number of defeated complain
ants before the commission will seek re-
dress in that court.

Jurisdiction Is Alleged.

The petition sets forth that the COM
mission has jurisdiction over the car
riers in Alaska, but AYERS that the COM
mission erred. as a matter of law, IN
holding it did not have jurisdiction.
The petition asks that the court compel
the commission to execute and enforce
the act to regulate commerce as PROVIDED
by Congress, and particularly to require
the Alaska carriers to file and publish
their rates according to law.
The decision in the Humboldt Steamship
Company was predicated upon decision
in a general inquiry and investigation by
the commission concerning its jurisdiction
over water carriers and railroads in
Alaska In that decision four of the COM
missioners held that they had jurisdiction,
but there was a strong dissenting opinion
by Commissioner Clements and two
others of the commissioners.

death or Of a financial crisis, put all OF
his property under the control of a con

Spinal Meningitis Epidemic.

The epidemic OF spinal meningitis is not
checked, and there is no authoritative
reason given as yet why this disease
should suddenly run through the cav
airy horses, unless it be that the ground
on which the camp was pitched was in
fected by stable litter from a farm
wherein two horses died of meningitis
two years ago. The Pennsylvania state
veterinarian is expected daily to make a
study of the case.

forward TO getting much good out OF

As II is they are working away quietly
by themselves. with Capt Nueent of the
Coast Artillery Corps as their instructor.
They are anxious to get their wireless
stations up. but there is no chance of
these being in service for q day or two.
The stations are ready to use, but the
men are being put through the drill with
the wigwag flags at present. Two squads,
under Corp. w. f. Hayghe and Corp.
r. NJ. McLennana. went out yesterday to
tell each other things with the flags. 1t

HOW THEY STAND

Editor Star: 1nasmuch as you reach
a good many voters in Marion county.
we ask a little space to let the people
know how our candidates for the house
Of representatives stand on the liquor
question. Two Of the candidates, Mes
srs. Light and Phillips, are in favor of
the constitutional amendment The
other two candidates, Col Rogers and
Mr.. Bullock, are in favor of local op-
ton, and are also opposed to the anti
jug law. OF course, If the state goes
dry this fall we will have no need Of
an anti-jug law, but II the amendment
is lost it is quite important that the dry
counties be protected from the wet
counties. These last two candidates
favor local option. and yet IL the coun-
ty goes dry. they do not favor a law to
keep it dry. One who favors local OPP
ton in Marion county, practically fav-
ors saloons. We want to send men to
the legislature who will do all they
can to make the law effective in case
the amendment is adopted. Penalties
must be fixed for the violation Of the
law, or else the law is null and void.
4 candidate who is elected by the vets
is not likely to do much to pass laws
10 prevent violation of prohibitors
laws.
According to our county's ablest and
most conservative lawyers. at least
three fourths OF the white voters voted
dry in the last wet and dry election in
Marion county. For our representatives
then to be on the side OF the vets
would make them opposed to the best
element in our county. And this leads
us to say that IL three-fourths Of our
white men and nearly all our white wo-
men are for a dry county law enforce
ment, 1t would not be as difficult as
some would have you think
Let every voter who loves his home
and his state vote for men on the eth
Of June who are pledged 10 support the
constitutional amendment.

TO A
HANDSOME YOUNG COUPLE

Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Burford enter
tanned last evening at 4 o'clock din
ner in compliment to Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Muncaster. recently married in
Jacksonville, but now at home on Ok
lawaha avenue, having rented the
pleasant home of Mrs. Austin.
The Burford home was beautifully
decorated with flowers for the occas-
ion. the dining room, where covers
were laid for twelve, being very beau
tiful with its floral adornments. The
cards marking the guests places were
very pretty and showed the artistic
talent Of the hostess who did them in
delicate pink roses. Each card con-
tanned verse appropriate to the in
dividual guest. The verse to the bride
contained this immortal sentiment:
Age cannot wither her nor custom
stale
Her infinite variety"
The groom's card was intensely ex-
pressive of his state Of mind and heart
towards his fair bride:
Doubt that the stars are fair,
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt 1 love you"
The other cards were equally express
sive of fine sentiment. Each plate con-
tanned a pink pepper, which when
pulled contained the fortunes Of the
guest.
unique feature of the first course
served were cantaloupes fashioned in
the form Of a boat, each set with sails
unfurled and manned by tiny boy and
girl doll sailors, which were very sug-
gestive Of bon voyage to the newly
married couple, with pleasant sailings
through life.
This course included the same hearty
good wishes for Miss Lucille STANDBY
and Mr.. c. r. Kreger, who will be
married June eth in the Baptist
church.
The other courses were equally as
attractive and appetizing. the pink
color scheme being in evidence in the
delicious cream served.
Those who enjoyed this social spread
were Mr.. and Mrs. Burford, Mr. and
Mrs. Muncaster, Misses Lucille Stand
ley, Alta Pearson, Bessye Porter, Alice
Bullock and Messrs. c. r. Kreger, Troy
Hall, Frank Harris, Jr., and Guy Liv-
ingstone.
The affair was informal and partook
of all the pleasing social graces that
characterize the doings at the Burford
home.
After the repast the dinner party
was taken by the host and hostess for
an auto ride over the city, which was
an additional enjoyment for all pres
ent.
Mrs Muncaster. who is a very grac-
ious and pleasing young lady, was
becomingly gowned and her perfect
manners made friends with all she met
and is destined to become a social fav-
orite in our city. The compliment was
a most pleasing one and none appre-
ciated it more than the complimented
party.

FROM Mr.. PHILLIPS

say most emphatically that Mr.. d.
W. Tompkins in his representations to
Col Rogers the Saturday after the first
primary did not go as a representative
OF the Anti-Saloon League. The Anti
Saloon League has not made any ad-
vances to Col Rogers and If any per-
son says they have, said person will
fully misrepresents the league. And
II Mr.. Tompkins sits by and does not
resent the statement that the league
used him as a cats paw TO get political
thunder for me or any one else, then I
say he has not moral backbone enough
for jelly fish and is not half the man
l have always thought him to be. The
letter IN question was written for the
avowed purpose of getting the Anti
Saloon League to get me to withdraw
and any other Interpretation put upon
il is an evasion. Why was the letter
written at all? The whole matter can
be settled if Col. Rogers will only pub
lish the letter in question Send IL to
the Star. colonel Ny position on all
issues has been clear; men are not
wondering how I stand on the temper
ance question and no man has charged
with with currying favor with both
sides Of the temperance question. Vic
tory in this campaign is not so dear
10 me, as to be gotten at the price of
friendship. neither is defeat so gloomy
that l would sacrifice a single princi-
pie for which 1 stand to win. I will
not knowingly do any man an injus-
tice. In business and politics 1 work
in the open and all men know my posi-
ton If the voters think I am the best
man to represent them then 1 solicit
the vote OF all qualified voters in the
primary June eth. 1 will stand as
square for you at Tallahassee as I have
stood for myself here.
Yours, ]. p. Phillips.
