the royal sceptre and the virge is that
the former has cross at the top, while
the latter has dove. The virge is of
gold, feet inches in length, inches

white enamelled dove, are a globe sur
rounded with rose diamonds and a
cross.
The queens sceptre with the cross
is of gold ornamented with diamonds
and other stones. 1t is 2 feet 10 inches

MAKES ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT
SENATOR NELSON OF MINNIE
sofa DECLARES TAFT HAS NO
RIGHT TO NEEDLE IN AFFAIRS
OF SENATE.
RX Associated Press

Washington, May 22.-Senator Nell
son of Minnesota attacked President
Taft today before the senate finance
committee, for seeking to prevent the
senate from amending the Canadian
reciprocity bill. He declared that the
constitution made the senate part, OF
the treaty making power of the coun-
try, and offered several amendments
to the measure.
Senator Nelson's amendments would
reduce about one-half the existing
tariff rates on most farm products. To
put farm products on the free list, he
declared, was legislating directly
against the farmer.
President Taft is evading the con-
stitution of the United States" he as
serted, when he tries to force the
senate to accept this agreement as it
was presented. He is trifiing with the
senate of the United States"
Seantor Nelson urged the committee
to consider carefully his proposed
amendments. He said the senate had
amended previous treaties and that
there was no valid reason why it
should not amend the Canadian agree
ment.

COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION d.
REcToRS TAKE UP MATTER AT
MEETING, AND WHILE NO DEFI-
MITE ACTION WAS TAKEN, AN
OTHER MEETING IS TO BE
HELD AND THE MATTER MORE
FULLY DISCUSSED.

The advisability Of sending a scout
car from Pensacola to New Orleans
to scout out the best route for a con-
tinuation of the National highway
from Pensacola, was the subject dis
cussed yesterday by the board Of di-
directors of the Commercial Associa-
ton. No definite action was taken
and another meeting will be held
Thursday to consult further in the
matter.
Pensacola is now about to be the
terminus of the western leg Of the
National highway extending from New
York to Jacksonville. The western leg
branches off at Tifton, Ca, and comes
to Pensacola This branch is the re-
suit of the enterprise and public spirit
of the Moultrie Chamber of Com
merce.
1t is proposed for the Commercial
Association to send out a scout car
to mark out a continuation of the
highway to the many gulf towns along
the way and on to New Orleans.
Such a highway would mean a great
deal Tor Pensacola, besides the mark
ing out of the route would give the
Deep Water City more publicity thar
could be gotten through any Other
source. Good roads are the talk oi
the town right now, and the scout
car bearing Pensacola and New Or
leans banners will no doubt soon be
on the route.

Special to The journal.

Chipley, Fla, May 22.-News was
received here by Sheriff Allen yester-
day morning about 10 o'clock from
Everitt's mill, about eight miles south
of Chipley, of the killing of Whit n.
Everitt by Lester Harper, his nephew,

how the killing took place, as there
were no eye witnesses to the difficulty
The bets information that can be
obtained here is to the effect that
Everitt and Harper had been having
little fussses off and on the entire
year, Harper having recently rented a
place from Everitt for the purpose OF
farming this year and it seems that
neither one had complied with his con-
tract and consequently a continuous
row was started which resulted in the
death of Everitt when shot by Harper
with a shot gun loaded with buck
shot, six shot striking Everitt which
caused instant death, Harper being
about thirty feet away when he fired
the gun. 1t is said that Everitt was
advancing on Harper with an iron
road when he received the fatal shot
Upon the arrival of nearby neigh
bors to the horrible scene a rod about
three feet long was found lying beside
Everitt, which is said to be the one
which he was attempting to use upon
Harper.
1t is said that Harper had started
to Chipley yesterday morning to see
about a warrant that he had heard
that Everitt had gotten out for him
and on the road met Everitt and a
little row was begun about some oats
being cut. Harper, it is stated, turn
ed and started back towards his home
Everttt accompanying him, and after
they arrived is when the fatal difficult
ty took place. 1t also seems that
Harper had bought a pair of mules
and had gotten Everitt to stand his
note, which is due next fall, and thai
some fuss had started from that
Everitt wanting to take the mules
himself and Harper objected to his
doing so.
Upon the arrival of the sheriff Har-
per was taken into custody, and after
the coroner's verdict of murder was
rendered was carried to Vernon and

+, Juarez. Mexico, May 22.-Tranquility
~of an officially declared variety, not
unlike the Quietude of the erstwhile
general armistice. but possessing more
of the normal atmosphere of real
peace, reigned in northern Mexico to-
day for the first time in six months.
Messages were flashed today over all
wires and by courier to remote parts
OF the country announcing that a
peace agreement had definitely been
made between the revolutionistS and
the federal government.
Undisguised joy beamed in the face
Of Judge Carbajal, the federal peace
envoy, today as he prepared to de-
part for Mexico City, his mission here
being accomplished after nearly four
weeks Of parleys.
Francisco ]. Madero, Jr., triumphant
leader of the revolt, will await the
resignation of President Diaz, starting
for Mexico City within a week, when
it is expected to become an establish
ed fact.
Senor Madero smiled this morning
as he heard the story of how the
peace agreement was signed last night.
His callers told and re-told the
humorous sidelfght that was thrown
on the signing of the document.
Francisco Madero, Sr.. had called on
Judge Carbajal at FL Paso about $50
o'clock last night and after a tedious
half hours wait for Senor Pine Suarez
the party started for Juarez. When
the peace automobile, followed by
three machines containing newspaper
men, dashed up to the customs house
shortly after 10 o'clock, neither Senior
SuareZ, or anybody else was there to
receive them. The custom house was
barred by huge grating.
1t was Francisco Madero, Sr's foun-
tain pen that was used. In watching
the commissioners slowly sign their
names under the agreement one of the

he held. He nearly spoiled one of the
signtures when he dropped the flame
as the pact was being signed. The
commissioners enjoyed the humor of
the situation and declared that never
was peace treaty signed under more
| extraordinary conditions. When it
was all over they embraced in true
| Spanish fashion.
The commissioners expressed great
relief that the task for which they
had so long labored had been }ac-

Rv j. "A. Reese,

Tallahassee, May 22.-That the con-
troversy which started between the
governor and the supreme court should
eventuate in an estrangement, or more
than one, was not to be wondered at
and the expected has happened. though
the person upon whom the wrath OF
the chief executive was vented is not
a member of the court. The individual
who has been thus distinguished is the
Honorable William w. F1ournoy, who
made the motion in the senate few
days ago that the governors message
in regard to the judiciary be kept from
the pages of the 1ournay and that the
secretary should stick a match to the
thing" and burn it.
Senator F1ournoy said many harsh
things in his speech, but he was no
more severe in his criticisms of the
governor than several other senators,
yet 1t was pretty well known who 1t
was the governor had in mind when
he stated in an interview that he
thought there were thirty-one good
men in the senate, the body being
composed of thirty-two there was one
lone senator left without the pale in
the mind Of the governor. There is no
longer any doubt as to the identity of
that senator.
In a letter dated May 18th, which
has just been made public, Governor
Gnchrist invites the senator to stay
out OF the executive office, and to COM
municate anything that he may have
to convey through the private secre-
tary. The correspondence between
