the becoming veil. Miss Ruby McCon-

dainty in a gown of white crepe de
chine and real lace. She carried an
arm bouquet of carnations and lilies
of the valley. Immediately preceding
the bride came two dainty flower girls,
little Agnes Ellison, niece of the bride,
and Isabel Frances Hancock. Both
wore dainty lingerie frocks embroid-

white hats filled with golden hearted
daisies, trimmed in yellow tulle. Their

trimmings of real lace. Her long veil
was caught with lilies of the valley
and pearls. Her bouquet was of the
same flowers, in shower effect. At the

JOHN B. JONES
GOES TODAY TO
TALLAHASSEE
HOPES TO GET REPRESENTA-
TNEs FROM EscAM BIA TO PASS
THE PENSACOLA CHARTER BILL
WITHOUT ANY OF THE AMEND
MENTs BEING STRICKEN OUT.

City Attorney John B. Jones will
leave the city this morning for ITALIA
hassee, where he will confer with
Speaker t. A. Jennings and Senator
Jno. P. Stokes relative to the Pensa
cola charter bill, which has caused a
row between the senator and speaker,
because the latter insists on striking
out one paragraph relating to public
utility corporations.
Some fear that this row will ulti-
mately result in no amendments being
made to the charter, which is very
important at this time, and Mr.. Jones
will ;endeavor to secure the passage of
the bill in the shape it was presented
to the representatives from this coun-
ty, inasmuch as it was drawn up and
approved by the city council and
meets with the approval of that body.
Mr.. Jones will possibly return to
the city Tuesday.

stated that she had never seen a train

RECALLING JUICES

1t is intimated in certain quarters
that President Taft and congress
may decline to approve the propos-
ed Arizona constitution because it
contains a provision for the recall
of all elective officers, including
judges. The contention, it appears,
is tnat judges should be exempt.
But why? On what do these men
feel that they are incorruptible and
why are the people who elect them
less likely to make serious mistakes
in their cases than in those of gov
ernors, legislators, treasurers,
auditors and other officials? The
recall, properly safeguarded against
abuse, is the most effective weapon
for self-protection that has yet been
placed in the hands of the people.
Why load it with any blank cart
