The men of California claimed for
the women of the state the legal right
to political privileges, not as gift, or
as a concession or as courtesy or
act of gallantry. They voted for it in
acknowledgment of the unassailable
truth that in the great divine plan of
the Creator and under every tenabIe
theory of Just and free government,
women were clearly entitled to the

NHARveLoUs SHOWING

AVA People adopt different methods
for determining the degree of prosper
ity and enterprise of community. but
it is generally agreed that there is no
better medium for testing any city
than its newspapers That is why a
newspaper is compelled to credit or
discredit the city where printed in so
many minds
1t is also fact that the subscrip-
tion list OF a newspaper is of the na-
ture OF q vote of the people on the
character of the people.
Taking these facts into considera-
ton, the Press is led to believe that
it is making a most remarkable show
ing for the city, the valley and for it
self.
The monthly consumption of paper
by tAe Press now amounts to two and
half tons, and day by day the list is
growing
But no less remarkable than the cir
culation of this paper is its adyertis-

JACKSONVILLE WANTS
AVIATION SCHOOL.
Board of Trade Will Take Up Propo.
sition That Government is
Considering.

Jacksonyille.-It is probable that
the board of trade will make a de-
termined effort to secure for Jackson
vile the aviation training school
which the war department is prepar-
ing to establish in the South.
The statement has been printed that
consideration of possible locations has
narrowed down to the two cities of
Jacksonville and Augusta. If this city
is selected, the training would proba"
bly, be at Moncrief park. Atlantic
Eugene Ely, who was killed by his
Beach would hardly be considered be-
cause of the influence of the ocean on
air currents. 1t is declared that ne
gotiating the beach currents is job
for an experienced aviator, and would
hardly be fair tax nthe novice.
Experiments are carried on at sew
eral army posts and government fields
in the North and West during the
summer months, but the upper
stretches are cold even then. 1t would
be almost impossible to make head
way when the temperature is normal
ly so much lower.
The governments interest in the de-
velopment of the science and prog
ress of the inventors who have APP
piled themselves to the problem of
conquering the air is to serve the two
fsA paSpsss Of ayaihng tho war de-
partment Of the aeroplane for scout
ing and later the postoffice depart
ment for Declines for mail. The navy
department is also manifesting a par
ticular interest in the aeroplane fol-
lowing the remarkable demonstration
of its adaptability made by the late
Eugene Ely( who was killed by his
machine at Macon a few days ago.
The Jacksonville board of trade
takes the position that the aviation
school, which will continue through
ten or twelve weeks and possibly
fongerf would be a great drawing
card for the city. Hundreds of visit
ors would be attracted here every day
of the week in the hope of watching
the experiments.
Another feature which interests
Jacksonville is the enormous amount
of newspaper and magazine advertis-
ing that would follow the conduct of
satisfactory eXperimte snhere. 1t is
understood that the government plans
to make the approaching training
school one of the most important in
the history of the nations interest in
tn escience.
1t is not improbable that Florida's
representatives in congress will be
asked to use their influence to Sc
cure the school for Jacksonville.

SO WARSHIPS REVIEWED
Every U. S. BattleshIp in Line at
at New York.

New York-In a great amphithe-
alter formed by the broad eXpanse of
the Hudson river, the towering shore
of Manhattan, the precipitous Pail
sades Of New Jersey and a cloud
flecked sky, an awesome marine spec
tacle was staged, when Secretary
Meyer Of the navy inspected the most
powerful feet of fighting ships ever
assembled in American waters.
Ninety-nine in all, they lay at an
Choir gay with colors, in six great di-
visions, seven miles in length. Along
this line the secretary passed in the
presidential yacht Mayaower, then he
boarded the six flagships, paying his
respects first to the COMMANDMENTS
chief, Rear Admiral Osterhaus, on the
Connecticut; then to Rear Admirals
Badger, Ward, Howard and Fiske, in
command of divisions.
Perhaps two hundred thousand per.
sons saw the spectacle from ashore
and thousands more crowded harbor
craft.
The feet as it stood included every
battleship now in commission in the
United States navy, twenty-four in
all, every one in fighting trim.

st. Augustine.-Anastasia Island
will in the near future have one of
the finest hotels and auditoriums in

The resort will be under the aus
pieces of the Methodists, and much
credit is due Reverend Fletcher, who
was one of a committee of nine. He
made a hard fight for its location in
the Ancient City.
Definite steps will be taken by the
conference at a meeting to be held

erection of a 5O-room hotel costing ap-
proximately $4,000 dollars.

Estimates for England and Italy
refer to demands for American cotton
only.
Including the normal demands Of
Greece, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark,
Norway, British India and all other
countries this amount would be in
creased by almost two million bales.
England and Italy require about seven
hundred and fifty thousand bales more
than estimated above for their total
consumption. With these additions
the amount would be approximately
15,26S,112 bales. If the American con-
sumption were the same as that in
1910, the total amount of cotton need
ed during the cotton year would be
about 2O,O0O,OOO bales, compared with
1921 900 bales consumed by mills
throughout the world in 171O.

Washington.-So-ca italian bar
barites" in Tripoli finally have been
brought officially to the attention of
the American government in such a
form that some declaration of the
position of the state department in
the matter now is expected. The sub
ject was preached first in the course
of a verbal statement by the Turkish
ambassador to Acting Secretary AIDES,
and later in the day in the shape of
letter. In each case the ambassador,
who declared he was acting by eX-
press cabled instructions from his gov
eminent, described in detail the acts
attributed to the Italian troops and
protested, in the name of humanity,
against the alleged barbarities inflict-
ed upon helpless women and children
and non combatants by the Infatuated
Italian soldiers.
BY order of his government, the
ambassador appealed to the United
States to exert itself to put a stop to
practices that, he declared, were in
plain violation of the rules of war
fare and in contravention Of The
Hague convention to which the United
States and Italy are parties.
Acting Secretary AIDES promised to
submit the protest to Secretary Knox,
who is absent from Washington.
Supplementing this came a cable
gram from the Turkish foreign office
later in the day, which was also
transmitted to the state department
This is regarded as of great import
ance because it formally demands in
PREVENTION by the United States. 1t
reads as follows:
The Italian atrocities in Tripoli be-
ing confirmed officially, and from ev-
cry quarter, | beg your excellency to
reiterate the representations prescrib-
ed in the preceding telegram, and to i'm.
sist upon the necessity of prompt and
efficacious intervention in order to put
an end Immediately to these inhuman
proceedings"

FLORIDA RY. Co.
FILES DECLARATION
LATEST IMPORTANT STEP IN
$e,ooo,oo0 DAMAGE SUIT IN
UNITED STATES COURT.
THE CAUSE OF THE SUIT
Document Outlines PLAINTIFFS Case in
Which S. A. L. Railway Is
Defendant.

Jacksonyille.-With the fling of the
declaration in the suit brought in the
Federal court by the Florida Railway
company against the Seaboard Air
Line company, the Knickerbock Trust
company and several individuals on
the boards of directors of these com
panies, comes the second important
step since the action for recovery OF
$6,OO0,OOO damages was instituted.
The declaration prepared by Attor-
ney George NJ. Powell, legal represen-
tative of the Florida Railway com
pany, is a voluminous document, and
covers fifty-nine pages of closely type
written paper With the exception of
the clauses referring 10 alleged &C.
tons of the defendants in violation of
the national commerce laws, the dec
laration contains the same statements
as published exclusively in the Me-
tropolis several weeks ago.
1t will be remembered that the ac-
ton was instituted by reason of the
alleged failure of the nuickerbocker
Trust company to deliver bonds of the
Florida Railway company to purchas-
ers in France, an accompanying
charge being that the Knickerbocker
Trust company was in collision with
the Seaboard Air Line railway in an
attempt to hinder the completion of
the Florida railway from Live Oak
to this city.
In another part of the declaration
reference is made to other matters
wherein the Knickerbocker Trust
company applied for further instruc-
tons as to carrying out the duties OF
trustee for the Florida Railway COM
pany after resigning the trusteeshlp.
Speaking of the declaration Mr..
Powell said:
while the paper outlines the basis
of our suit, it does not show the ma
ture of evidence which we will intro
duce to prove our case and, of course,
we cannot afford to lay open our plan
of battle as yet. We have in our pos
session certain papers and documents
which will be used to strengthen the
facts as laid down in the declaration,
and we feel sure that we have win
ming hand in this game.
However, as that is a matter that
will be left to the courts, we can only
pin our faith to such things as we
see them. That the Florida railway
will be eventually built despite the de-
lay we have experienced, is no dream,
but o decided fact, as we have gone
too far in the construction of the road
to sit idly by and allow our enter
prise to die, at loss to ourselves
and those who have invested in our
securities.
