Tallahassee, Dec. 1.-THE fall term
of the circuit court for the Second ju-
dicial circuit convened here Monday
morning. The court was organized
and the grand jury put to work in its
investigations, and Judge Malone ad-
journed any sittings of the court for
the remainder of the week and re-
turned home on account of sickness
in his family.
However, the grand jury is busy
with it's work. 1t is said that this
term of court will have before it the
largest docket, both criminal and civil,
of any previous one for the county.
There will be about thirty five GRIM
inal cases, five of which are for muir
der committed since the last term of
court. All the murder cases are
against negroes for killing negroes,
and practically all the other criminal
cases are against negroes
Stole From a Girl.
A case in which Tallahassee society
is Interested is case of larceny
against Joe Ford, a negro. Ford was
bound over by the county judge S
court last summer to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury for stealing
diamonds and other very valuable
jewelry from the room of Miss Eola
Williams, of Pensacola. Last summer
Miss Williams was a student at the
Summer Normal and was boarding at
Bryan Hall. On going to lunch she
negligently left her jewelry on her
dresser, and upon her return it was
missing. The negro, Ford, was a SER
want at the college, and was accused
of the theft. Miss Williams is here
now, having been summoned as wit
ness in the case. She is accompanied
by her father, Mr.. L. W. Williams
Miss williams made many friends and
was very popular while in Tallahassee
and her misfortune has been very
much regretted.

gentlemen i'll meeting with the inter-
nal improvement board was to get it's
consent to sell certain lands, the deeds
to which at the present time are held
by the Barnett National Bank, at
Jacksonville, in escrow. To encourage
the completion of the inland water
way down the east coast, in 1906 the
trustees granted to the above COM
pany considerable state lands. deeds
to which were made in escrow, to be
turned over to said company when
certain conditions with regard to con-
struction and operation of the canal
was complied with. The official of the
said company stated to the trustees
that they are very much in need of
more money for further construction
of the canal, and asked permission to
sell certain of the lands granted for
this purpose. They further stated
that the canal from Jacksonville to
St. Augustine has been completed, AMI
that it would be fully completed from
st. Augustine to Biscayne Bay within
six months, but that it would be
navigable its entire length by the
middle of next month. That there is
now a line of boats operating on this
canal, and that within another month
two more lines will be put in opera
ton. Officials of the company stated
that no doubt this inland waterway will
be considerably used this winter by
private launches and yachts of visitors
and northern tourists.
After considering the application OF
the canal company, the trustees today
decided to give them permission to sell
the lands in question, provided it was
sold at a price considered reasonable
by the trustees, and that the proceeds
from such sales should be held even
as the deeds for said lands are now

The street lay in shadow, for heavy
clouds obscured the young moon. A
clock in the distance struck 2, and
down at the corner, where a broad
avenue intersected the quiet street, a
policeman swung on his heels and
vanished down the lighted way.

had slipped into a dark areaway, skill
fully forced the door and entered a
little hall. He locked the door behind
him and turned on the faintest glim-
mer of light from his pocket lamp.
With a nod of satisfaction he found
the stairs that led up to the first floor.
He slipped a black mask over his face
and mounted the steps. Under his
feet ran the soft, thick carpet of a
long hall. He knew this type of
house-there should be a door front
and back leading to the street and
yard respectively-and calculated his
getaways.
The narrow beam of his lamp found
the door of the dining room, and he
entered. closing it noiselessly behind
him. The sideboard showed an array
Of rather old fashioned silver. He
looked at it critically. weighing some
Of the pieces in his hand, all the time
conscious that there was a certain
familiarity in their outlines. Their
recognition came as a blow in the
face.
This was his mothers silver! What
was it doing here? What had he
done?
The stairs creaked ominously, and
he shut off the light and slipped into
the hall that he might be close to the
rear door.
He could hear the soft rustic of
woman's gown and the light tread of

ton. ut was raised when the CAPT
tai OF Illinois was removed from
Vandalia TO Springfield in 1887
In the Oklahoma case there is no
dispute about the facts. The Okla
homa legislature passed a law in
1910, authorizing the voters to select
the location for state capital. Fol-
lowing the election held pursuant to
that act the capital was removed to
Oklahoma City and the removal was
sanctioned by the supreme court OF
the state. Now the question that is
before the federal court is as to
whether or not a state. admitted to

of an act of congress. has a right 10

The supreme court of Oklahoma

A Law of the Sea.

The captain Of the Princess Irene,
which became fast on the sand in
the oceans graveyard off Fire is
land, 10 miles out of its course, will
never command another ship. He
has had 25 years experience and his
masters, the North German Lloyd
company, say he is one of the most
careful and efficient men in their
service. He was in nowise to be
blamed, the ship getting out of its
path in an unaccountable way
The same i'll luck followed Cap
tain SeaIby of the Republic. 1t will
be remembered that this steamer was
lost as the result of collision near
Nantucket a few years ago and that
every passenger was safely transfer
red to another ship. The captain
was not at fault, in fact no human
power could have averted the acct
dent.
Captain Sealby was relieved of
command as it is an unwritten law
of the sea that the commander of
a ship which goes down or which
perils it's passengers, must be re-
lieved of his command. 1t is a.
harsh law but people will not travel
with a captain who has lost or even
nearly lost his ship. To make mat
tiers worse underwriters will not in
sure a ship commanded by mari
ner who has had i'll luck.
