cBy Associated Press.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April Sit is
believed that the present session of the
Florida legislature which convened yes

lines, and that retrenelnent. where it
will not hurt public service. will be the
watchword.
New senator's were sworn In, and

pie Of the state reforms they have ask
ed. T. A. Jennings, Of Pensacola as
sumed the office of speaker of the
house.
MESSAGE COMMENDED.
The governors message to the legis-
lature has been most favorably com
mented on. For the first time in the
history of the state-as is done in con-
gress with the presidents message-the
document was read in full in both
houses. It is one OF the strongest bus
mess r-pers ever presented to a leg
islative body Of any state. Governor
Gllchrist goes into minute detail on
every matter of importance-omitting
nothing that will be OF benefit to the
state.
The most Important matters talked of
are the following:
That there will be two additional cir
cuits-possibly three. 1t is not believed
that there will be as many as five, as
recommended by the State Bar associa-
ton. The probability is there will be
a rearrangement of present circuits so
as to make the two additional judges

The governor takes strong position
ir favor of a revision of the primary

lature.
More advanced ideas along educa-
tional lines are mentioned favorably.
and the work of the educational COM
mission appointed by Governor Gtlchrist
is received with favor. The report OF
the commission has been Endorsed BY
the governor in his message. 1t is pe-
lieved that all measures recommended
will go through.
The race track bill will not be passed
Nearly every member talked to from
the rura4 districts is opposing It, There
may be some compromise measure re-

lowed.
Reform along all lines, and retrench-
ment where ii will not hurt public

present session of the Legislature.
1t is the first time in the history of
the state when every report has peen
gotten out and in the hands of the
members of the legislature. State
inter t. ]. Appleyard is being warm
ly, commended on all sides for his spien-

one of the imports nt measures to be
before the Florida legislature at this
ses-loL is sure to be the anti-saloon
question and some sweeping reforms
may be loked forward to along these
lines. If the saloon is allowed to con-
tinue II is certain that very strict
measure will be taken to regulate the
traffic in this state.

MARTIN TO Be LEADER
OF SENATE MINORITY
Despite Opposition of Bryan
and Stone 1t Is Conceded
He Will Be Expected
(By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, April s.-Senator
Thomas S. Martin. of Virginia. will lead
the Democratic minority in the United
States senate. it was conceded this af-
ternoon, despite the opposition of William
J. Bryan. Senator Stone and number of
party progressives.
At preliminary parley this afternoon
it was agreed that opposition should be
registered against Mr.. Martin on the
ground that younger man, whose pro-
gressive policies had been clearly estab-
lished, should be named for the place of
caucus chairman and minority leader,
However, at second conference of pro-
gressives later in the afternoon the cleo
ton of Mr.. Martin was conceded.
1t had been agreed at the first meeting
that the names of either Senators Culber-
son or Stone should be presented in the
Democratic caucus in opposition to Mr..
Martin, The Texas and Missouri senators
refused to allow the presentation of their
names. This might have had the effect
of bursting the bubble of opposition to
the Virginian Senator Newlands will
stand for nomination against Mr.. Mar
tin In the caucus, but it is presumed
this form of protest will be purely per-
functory.
William ]. Bryan explained at the
White House today that he was not OPP
posed to the selection of Senator Martin
as minority leader of the senate, but
said that he personally would not vote
for Senator Martin if he were a mem
Der of the senate.
Mr.. Bryan spent almost an hour with
President Taft and met number of the
members of the cabinet. He refused to
say what subject he had discussed with
the president.

Who's there?" came an apprehen-

The Colonel gulped nervously. 'It's

he made answer Suddenly he felt
very crestfallen and shamed. The

her daughter, rebuked him. The door
was thrown open. Mrs. Exall stood
