About the Lawyers Who
Are Visiting in Pensacola

Paul Carter OF Mariana and w. b.
FOGarty Of Key West were among the
late arrivals last night in attendance
1t the Florida State Bar Association.
Both Of these men are prominent and
well known throughout the state and
were greeted very cordially by their
friends at the hotel last night.
An amusing occurrence In the COM
mittee meeting last night which was
drafting the schedule for the new judi
cial circuits was the contention of
some that the legislature would be
superstitious about granting Ave new
circuits, making total of thirteen.
Another was how earnestly some o.
the members worked to have their
county. 90 classified as to eliminate GER
tain circuit judges. Those making the
flght won out and won the unanimous
approval of the committee.
It was q hard matter to convince
Hon. Francis B. Carter that Jackson
county was not entitled to a circuit all
its own. The Judge cannot forget his
experience while officiating in the ca
pacity of circuit judge, and is still Of
the opinion that there is enough work
In that county alone for one circuit
Judge.
Hon. "a. J. Angle, of Barlow, repre-
sentative elect to the next legislature
and a prominent candidate for speaker
Of the house. Is among the attendants
at the meeting of the State Bar AS
sociation. Mr.. Angle is an old Escam-
bia county boy and his parents stu
reside at Bluff Springs in this county
where he will visit them before re-
turning home. He attended the Bryan
banquet at Tallahassee Wednesday
night and arrived in Pensacola on the
late train yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Angle sees many changes in Pensa-
cola and he. takes great satisfaction IN

Cincinnati, Feb. 22.-The Worlds

war against kissing, arguing that the
practice Is a menace to health. The
president of the organization, Mrs.

TALL, STOUT INDIVIDUAL"
MAY HAVE "MoNA LISA"
Paris Officials at Last Have Clue to
the Missing Painting.

Paris Aug. 24.-M. Drieux, the ex-
amining magistrate who is conducting
the inquiry into the disappearance Of
Leonardo da .Vinci's great painting,
Mona Lisa, is at last in possession
of a clue which he hopes will prove
the starting point of a more profitable
investigation. A Partisan official has
come forward with the information
that on Monday morning last he saw a
tall, stout Individual who appeared
greatly agitated carrying large
panel covered with a horse blanket.
The man jumped on the 7.47 express
for Bordeaux as it was pulling out of
the Quai D'Orsay station. As the
station is a few minutes walk from
the Louvre, the time corresponds with
the time the picture is believed to have
disappeared from the museum.
The magistrate attaches the greatest
importance to this information, the
more so as he has no reason to doubt
the good faith of his informant, and he
has sent a message to the Bordeaux
police with a full description of the
individual and an urgent request to
leave no stone unturned to effect his
arrest.

NEW BRIDGE DEDICATED
WITH IMPOSING CEREMONIES
Yesterday a Holiday for Towns of
Saybrook and Old Lyme.

Old Saybrook, Conn.,, Aug. 24.-The

Meeting the eastern part OF the state
with the western, in the plan for a
state highway along the Long Island
shore, was formally opened this after
noon by the commission wnich super
Nised its construction. 1t marked the
ps.ssing of the old means of trans
portation across the great water artery
OF Connecticut and the completion of
one of many important projects un-
dertaken in the internal development
Of the state
80 the little towns of Old Saybroolz
and Old Lyme the occasion was a holi-
day such as neither saw before. Bands
in both towns had ushered in the pro-
gramme with concerts, and an aunomo-
bills parade formed at Saybrook juno
ton and extended to the center of Old
Lyme providing splendid spectacle.
1t was estimated that fully seven
hundred machin es, several hundred of
them gorgeous1y decorated. made up
the column which was headed by a car
in which rode the guests of the day.
The bridge commission Lieutenant
Governor BIakeslee, and former Sen
ators Andrew n. Shepard and J. HI.
Day-ied the column until the bridge
was reached, where they went to a
platform erected in a nearby field to
act as Judges of the parade.
Lieutenant governor bldheS1ee pre-
sided at the exercises held near the
platform and after the invocation by
the senate chaplain, Mr.. Sexton, he
spoke briefly, expressing regret at the
absence of Governor Baldwin, who had
felt 1t necessary to remain in Hartford
to attend to legislative matters which
had come before him. Mr.. Blakeslee
said that the legislature had appropri-
ated $500. 900 for the bridge in 1907.
Many thought that the bridge could
not be built for that sum, but the com
mission will probably turn into the
treasury between $4,000 and $4,000.
He said that the impression is always
held that an appropriation is only a
starter but he said that in this in
stance it was not only a starter, but a
"finisher"
He then in behalf of the commission
declared the bridge formally opened.
Senator Judson was introduced and
spoke Of the achievement of uniting
the two parts of the state. Rev. E. NJ.
Chapman of Lyme spoke for the east
side Of the river, and Rev. L. M. Stray
er of Say7orook spoke for this side, of
the river.
The exercises concluded with the
award of a large silver loving cup to
NE Fenwick -Saybrook division of the
oarade, the cup to he kept by the
Town as a msmento of the occasion.
Beginning tomorrow the toll system
will go into force on the bridge. The
Ferry will go out of existence.
