WHEN GREEK
MEETS GREEK
ALEX. SERBIAN WAS ARRESTED
UPON WARRANT SWORN OUT
BY c. KARPTIN, ON CHARGE OF
EMBEZZLEMENT.

Alex. Serian, Greek, was arrested
early yesterday afternoon upon a war
rant sworn out by C. Karptin, another
Greek, and placed in the county Jail
charged with embezzlement. He re.
manned behind the bars for some
hours when friends interested them,
selves in his behalf and made up a
bond for his appearance. The amount
of goods, or the value of the goods
as charged against him in the affidavit
was 500, although Karptin said that
it was double that figure, and that the
other man hadn't done right in the
matter.
Serian was arrested by Constable
Bc1e, the affidavit having been sworn
to in the Office of Justice Nicholson.
From what could be learned of the
affair, karptin bases the charge upon
some failure of Serian to properly
carry out his part of a contract which
had been entered into. he alleged
'Karptin told the officers when apply,
ing for the warrant that he had been
responsible for Serian being in bust
ness, and had shared a store with
him, on East Wright street. The al
legged embezzlement is said to have oc
CURED from such a sharing of the
store, and goods representing a valua
ton of 5000 are said to have been
taken away.

BABY'S SCALP ALL
CRUSTED OVER
With Eczema That Broke Out when
but Three Moaths 0Id-Burned
and ltched So She Could Not Sleep
Chance of Cure Seemed Slight.
CURE BY CUTICURA
EASY AND COMPLETE

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and We had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
eyes became crossed from the disease
and her scalp was q solid scale all over.
The burning and itching was SO severe
that she could not rest, day or night.
we read an advertisement Of the Cuti-
Of Cuticura Soap, a box Of Cuticura Oint-
ent and followed directions carefully.
After the first dose Of the Cuticura Re
solvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely
and applied the Cuticura Ointment.
Then she began to improve rapidly and
In two weeks the scale came on her head
and new hair began to grow. In a very
short time she was well. Her eyes were
perfectly straight when she recovered
and have been so ever since. She is now
sixteen years Of age and is picture Of
health. We know the Cuticura Rene
dies cured her and have used them In
our family ever since.
We used the Cuticura Remedies
about five weeks. regularly, and then
we could not tell she had been affected
with any disease. She suffered with
burning and itching and hard. scaly,
dandruff-looking scabs all over her head
and in places on her body. We used no
other treatments after we found out what
the Cuticura Remedies would do for her.

WIRING
AND PLUMBING
BIDS TOO HIGH
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CON-
SIDERED THAT OFFERS FROM
CONTRACTOR WERE MUCH
OUT OF PROPORTION.

According to schedule adopted a
month ago, the board of county COM
missioners met at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning, remaining in session about
four hours. The meeting was for the
purpose of opening and accepting
bids for the plumbing, heating, light
ing of the new county county jail
building, but after careful considera-
ton it was decided that, with the ex-
ception of the heating bid submitted
by George McGhan & Sons, the 9TH
ers were quite out of all proportion
and too high. They were all conse.
quently rejected and new bids will be
asked.
The different bids were as fol-
lows:
Heating-George McGhan & Sons,
$6,132; Keynton Construction Com
pany, s6,673; The c. H. Turner Con-
struction Company, $6,7S4.
Wiring-P. r. Pearl, $3.50: Mobile
Electrical Company, $3.50; E. Peake,
$2,49O.
Plumbing-The c. H. Turner Con-
struction Company, s15,496.70; George
McGhan & Sons, S19,125. Bids speci.
flying different types of fixtures were:
The c. H. Turner Construction Com
pany, $13,9S7; The Keynton Construc-
ton Company, $4,000.
Upon motion of Commissioner John
son, bids for the wiring and plumbing
were rejected because it was the opin-
ion of the board they were too nigh.
The bid for the heating was accepted
from George McGhan & Sons for the
sum of S6,132.
The meeting started at an early
hour because the board had an idea
that, to look into the bids carefully,
much time would be consumed. 1t
was noon before an adjournment was
taken The chairman, Mr.. Oerting,
presided and; Commissioners Steward
Johnson, Davis and McQuarrie were
present.
In the afternoon, according to pro-
gram, the entire board met and pro-
ceeded in body to the new Jail site,
where the soil test was watched with
interest.

Rainfall of unusually heavy vol.

which really did not suffer was the

URGING WALTON
TO ACT QUICKLY

General Manager Storrs, of the In
terstate Fair, who is also editor of the
DeFuniak Breeze, prints leader in
his paper this week, urging upon all
the Importance of reaching for the big
prizes offered by the fair management.
The editorial in full is as follows:
Walton county cannot afford not to
have a splendid exhibit at the big In
terstate Fair in Pensacola this fall. It
means too much and is too big an op-
portunity to be missed.
There will be hundreds Of visitors
there from all over the country, men
who are for themselves and others
looking for new locations. The most
of the other counties in West Florida
and south Alabama are going>fo be on
hand, and for Walton county not to be
will be anything but the showing that
she ought to and indeed must make.
Neither can We afford to do other
wise than make an effort to win the
first prize of $500 offered for the best
county exhibit. We believe that with
two such hustlers as Mallie Martin
and Ben Morris behind it, it is going
to be done. They are going TO have
the earnest cooperation of such men

ANOTHER
STORY ON THAT
JAIL BUILDING?
RuMoR HAD 1T THAT REAL PUR
POSE OF VISIT or COMMISSION
Frs TO SITE WAs TO CONSIDER
FEASIBILITY OF SUCH.

Another story on the new county
jail building Is in prospect. This was
rumored at the Jail site yesterday,
when commissioners visited the scene
in body and began inquiring of the
architect and others interested in the
building of the feasibility of adding
another floor to the building, thus pro-
viding accommodation for all county
officers. The intent Of such a move
ment, according to those who seemed
to know yesterday and last night, was
to make possible the housing of county
officers and headquarters generally in
the one building, affording an oppor-
tunity of placing the present county
court house property on the market.
and possibly applying the proceeds OF
sale to the cost of the new building.
Architect Benz. when queried about
the matter, said that such an addition
was feasible, of course following the
order to make the foundations deeper
and more solid in consequence. He
had nothing more to say of the move
met, referring all to the board of
commissioners. Building Inspector
Johnson, who has been interested from
the start in the erection of the build
ing. had heard of the rumor, but had
nothing to say of it. Members of the
board of commissioners were eager in
desiring all information as to the
feasibility of the addition yesterday {

tons. alterations are provided for, in

GYMNASIUM BONDS
MAY BE ISSUED
Alameda Citizens Committee
Will Ask City to Pay for
Boys Clubhouse

ALAMEDA, May 27.-The general
citizens committee that is working on
the project of having a combined gym
nasium and clubhouse erected for the
boys and young men of the city is to
request the board of education to call
for an issue of bonds with which to
build the structure and also to con-
struct an addition to the Alameda high
cshool to be used as a technical depart
ment.
NJ. V. Politeo, an architect, submitted
preliminary plans and an estimate of
the cost of the proposed gymnasium
clubhouse to the general committee last
night. His designs showed a one story
reinforced concrete structure equipped
with swimming tank and with a
mezzanine floor, the latter to be used
as an indoor athletic track. The build
ing is TO be so arranged that it may
easily be converted into an auditorium
with a seating capacity of from 1900 to
1000 persons.
Politeo estimated that a gymnasium
clubhouse built after the plans sub
mitted by him would cost about $65 900.
The general committee has already de-
cided that the proposed building will
be erected on the rear of the grounds
of the Alameda high school.

Will OF PIONEER
DENIES PARENTAGE
Nurseryman Says Child Was
Not His, in Spite of Judg-
ment of Court

OAKLAND, Nav 27.-Defiance was
hurled into the face Of the superior
court Of Alameda county and all its
judgments by the will of the late Da-
vid Neely, d pioneer nurseryman of
Berkeley, which was filed for probate
today. That the judgment of that
court Of many years ago, which found
that he was the father Of q child now
known as David Patrick Neely, and
which made him pay Mamie Lanigan.
mother OF that child, $4,000 damages,
was erroneous is stoutly upheld in the
win.
The viii reads that nothing is to go
10 that child known as David Patrick
Neely, and I hereby state solemnly that
said child has not drop of my blood
In his veins, and is no relative of any
degree Of mine, notwithstanding the
verdict Of jury in her suit against me
in the superior court of Alameda
county"
Neely was formerly a large property
p~cwner OF West Berkeley, where he set
led in 1853. But the expense of fight
ing bitterly contested breach of
promise suit, and paying $4,000 dam
ages and costs to Mamie Ilanfgan
proved his downfall, and his estate now
has a value OF less than SIS 600.
According to the story told at the
time Of the trial, which was a sensa-
tional one, Mamie Lanigan was en-
ployed by him as a house keeper short
~ after the death Of his wife, nearly
10 years ago. She was a young girl,
and he was already advanced in years
She gave birth TO a boy on March Z.
1903. Soon after she sued him for
breach Of promise.
Neely's will directs that a legacy Of
$500 shall go to John Gazenego Of
Berkeley. and that the remainder of the
estate shall be divided equally between
Dominick Joyce, a nephew of the testa-
tors wife, and Robert J. Neely of Paris.

Big VINEYARD TO
MAKE CHAMP PAGNE
Berkeley Student Will Be First
Producer of Sparkling Wine
for the State

BERKELEY, May 27.-Encourag ged
by the practical knowledge of viticuI-
ture gained at the university, where he
taught the scientific side of the manu-
facture of champagne, Edmund Rossi,
a graduate of the university and son
of the manager of the Italian Swiss
colony at Asti. has begun series of
experiments in the making of the king
of wines According to word received
by the department of viticulture on the
campus, young Rossi will have num-
Der of expert assistants to work out
the details for the manufacture of the
first champagne in large quantities on
the coast.
Active preparations for the installa-
tion Of the new wine plant are being
made at Asti by Rossi and his father,
and the manufacture of the sparkling
beverage is expected to be begun some
time this year.
Prof. Frederick T. Bioletti, head of
the department of viticulture, returned
today from trip to Woodland, where
he was called to examine a number of
vines said to be infected with a pc
culiar pest.
He discovered that the infection was
due primarily to the poor soil in small
localities, and that but few vines were
injured. He has prescribed a remedy
for the betterment of the soil.
