Kansas City. Mo. April 15.-No regular
session of court was held for the Hyde

signed, according to attorneys for the
prosecution. They were not signed when
taken. The reason given by the Swope

ADVISE TAFT TO SELL.
sherman and Curtis Want Indian
Lands Put on Market.

Washington. April 15.-Vice President
Sherman and Senator Curtis have ad-
vised President Taft that the admin
istration should arrange to sell 500. 900
acres of coal and asphalt lands in Ok
lahoma belonging to the Choctaw In
dams and Chickasaw Indians under an
agreement made with the Indians long
ago. Senator Owen of Oklahoma put the
matter before the president a few days
ago. The visitors told the president
they thought for the interest of all
concerned that steps should be taken
by the government to bring about the
sale, taking every precaution to see that
the best prices were obtained. 1t was
explained that the lands did not be-
long to the government and that the
tribal affairs of the Indians had been
adjusted, so that the rolls of those en-
titled to share in the sale, were fully
established.

Wants New School Building.

Public pride ought to stand powerful,
ly back of ]. n. Blackwell, president of
the county school board, in his efforts to
better the school facilities OF the city of
Palatka.
The city needs a new high school
school building, and it needs ii badly.
This need is not of secondary, it is OF
first importance. The old building was
built for the Palatka of other days, and
if it measured up to the needs of those
days, it is certain that the needs have
now out grown the old building.
The people of the new Palatka, with
its brick paved, streets, its municipal wa
ter plant, its sanitary sewer system, its
miles of concrete sidewalks, its traffic

house, and various other improvements,

will NOT RETURN
To STATE SENATE
DR.. Edward S. Grill Declines
to Again Become a
Candidate.

DR.. E. S. Grill, who has served in all
through nine sessions of the state legiS-
lature as state senator, has decided not
to again become a candidate.
Putnam county has been generally for
tunate, even above most of its sister
counties, in the character of the men
who have represented her in the state
senate, and this has been conspicuously
so in the case of the present member,
DR.. Edward S. Grill. He was first elect
ed TO the senate in 1880, serving at the
sessions of 1881 and 'S3; reelected in 1884
and served in the session of 1885, when
he resigned to become state treasurer.
Since his retirement from the state treas
urership, DR.. Grill has served through
six sessions of the egiSlature-1S99, 1901,
1908, 1905, 1907, 1909. This long ser
vice together with his business acumen
and pre- eminent qualities for leadership
in statecraft, have made him notable
figure at Tallahassee. He is regarded as
an expert in getting at the true inward
ness of any measure up for conSidera-
ton, and his insight of constitutional
questions is clear. His retirement will
be everywhere regarded as great loss
10 the state and county, feeling that
will be shared in no small degree by
those who have not always been able to
agree with him.

Possible Legislative Candidates

The political pot is beginning to sim
mer and there is considerable speculation
as to possible candidates for the legisla-
ture of 1911, who will be chosen in the
democratic primary now but three
months away.
For the state senate there have been
no positive announcements, though Hon.
John P. Wall of Putnam Hall has been
considering the advisability of entering
under pressure of some of his closest
friends. Mr.. Wall is too well-known TO
the people of the county to need intro
duction here. His long service in the
House of Representatives has made his
name known in every household where
there is voter.
Hon. S. ]. Hilburn of this city has al
SO been mentioned for the senate. Mr.
Hilburn was seen by the News, but de-
chned to make positive announcement,
one way or the other, which is evidence
that he is seriously considering the mat
ter. He has a fine record as a member
of the House of Representatives
James NJ. Chesser of HolliSter is said
to be contemplating race for the
House. Mr.. CheSSer came mighty near
making it several years ago, and is we'll
known to the people of the county, from
one end to the other.
DR.. G. L. Sipprell of Florahome is
said to be seriously considering the mat
ter of contesting for seat in the House.
DR.. Sipprell is well-known resident OF
the western part of the county, is den
tist, and has many friends.
f. T. Redding of this city, who was
an unsuccessful candid te for sheriff two
years ago, is also spoken of. Mr.. Red
ding has not yet made up his mind,
though some of his friends have urged
him to enter.
w. S. Middleton of Pomona, it has
been stated, might also become candi-
date. He came very near the prize two
years ago, but lost nothing in popularity
by reason of his failure.
Hon. II. A. B. Mckenzie, editor of
the Palatka Times Herald, and who has
served acceptably in the last two legiS-
latures, had not determined up TO yeSter-
day whether to become a candidate or
not. Mr.. Mckenzie has large follow
ing of friends in the county who would
be glad to see him enter the race for
third term.
VIM. A. Russell of Crescent City, edi-
tor of the News, who served in the
House of Representatives in the session
of 1907, but who declined to become
candidate in the last campaign, will be a
candidate for the House in the coming
primary, subject 10 the approval of the
democrats.
H. A. Merryday of Palatka whose
name had been mentioned as a possible
candidate, says it is a mistake; he had
no such intention-waS too busy prac-
ticing law.
There may be others whose names
have been mentioned, but the News has
not been able to learn of them.
