FLORIDA NEWS NOTES.

Large signs, which can be read at
a considerable distance, will be placed
at all crossings, on the road between
Tampa and Sarasota. These signs
will give directions and distances, and
will be a great convenience to auto
tourists and others travelling that
way. In some sections of the country
the guide boards leave little chance
for installing the way, but in Florida
there have been but few attempts
made to help the wanderer along. The
effort is being made to have general
posting of principal roads, and this
will be a great blessing and, well re-
pay any county or section for the trou-
BILE and expense of placing the sign
boards.
Pinellas county is now assured, the
voters of a section of Hillsborough
county having indicated their desire
to have a separate and distinct coun-
ty. The vote on the question was very
satisfactory, for 73 per cent. was in
favor of the division and the law only
requires GO per cent.
After lively municipal campaign
Key West has just elected DIR. j. N.
Fogarty as mayor and the majority
received by him was sufficient to as
sure him of the support of large
part of his people. Mayor Fogarty
will have much to do within the next
six months and will be the official
host when the city celebrates the com,
pletion of the great Oversee railroad.
Among the many and varied indus
tries of Florida, shing is one of the
most important. 1t is, however, not
generally known that the catfish is a
money-winner for some and that a
man named Bass, at Fort Myers, has
over seventy men employed in catch
ing the usually despised cats
Active work was begun on Jackson
county's good roads. All the machin-
cry has not arrived yet, but enough is
here to begin work. This county is
undoubtedly one of the best farming
sections in the state, and good roads
means lots for the farmers.
Some of the orange packing houses

ing made to bring pickers here from

A CIRCUS COMING.
The John H. Sparks Worlds Famous
Shows Headed This Way.

On Tueseay last, C. S. Clark, general
advance representative for the Sparks
Shows was in Palatka making contracts
and paving the way for the coming of
the big Sparks circus. Immense quaint
ties of provisions of all kinds were con-
tracted for from our local merchants
and the grounds known as the Union
Depot grounds was leased for Saturday,
Dec. 9th, which is the date the big show
is to exhibit here.
From now until show day hardly a
day will pass but what one or more
agents of the circus will be in town
looking after details, promoting public
interest and thoroughly advertising the
surrounding country. This circus en-
ployS over 50 people in the department
of publicity alone.
Mr.. Clark, who is a most genial gen
tleman, volunteered the information that
Saturday, Dec. 9th, the date the circus
is to be here, happens to fall on the
regular weekly salary day of the show,
and that the 800 and over employees with
the show would be'paid the aggregate
sum of $1,000 tidy little bunch of
money to be turned loose in our city.
Mr.. Clark has in his possession many
newspaper criticisms of the show and
they all speak in glowing terms of the
excellent entertainment given and the
honorable methods employed by the
show management in doing business
with the public-no gambling or short
change artists being allowed among its
employees.
Palatka people will undoubtedly turn
out en- maSSe if the weather is al all
favorable

TAFT AFTER MONEY TRUST
Bernard N. Baker Tells President How
His Plans Were Frustrated
by Monopoly.

Washington.-President Taft has
started after the scalp of the money
trust Following a long session of
the cabinet, the president heard per-
sonally the story of one man, who has
encountered the financial octopus,
made up of bare handful of men,
which is alleged to exert control over
the industrial development of the
country and has sufficient power to
dictate precisely along what lines de-
velopment shall run, and to prevent
it whenever it interferes with estab-
lished organizations. The money
trust is held to be the giant power
behind all the individual trusts.
The president and highest cabinet
officials express deep concern over the
situation. The evidence already in
the hands of the president is expected
to lead to a most thorough investiga-
ton, possible criminal prosecutions
financial situation.
President Taft heard the story of
how this giant force in the financial
world has frustrated the plans of an
Independent steamship company that
was to operate between the two
coasts upon the completion of the
Panama canal. The story was told
by Bernard N. Baker of Baltimore,
formerly president of the Atlantic
Transport company, which sold out
to the International Mercantile Ma
rine company, Morgan concern.
Mr. Baker has been endeavoring to
finance an independent company-free
from all railroad entanglements-to
make practical the cheap rates for
transportation which the Panama ca
nal is in large part intended to pro-
vide. The fiotation of the enterprise,
which had the support of President
Roosevelt and of the white house in
cumbent, has been abandoned, be-
cause Mr.. Baker found that influences
controlling the banks made it impos-
sible to finance a scheme that would
compete with existing trans-continen-
tai transportation agencies.

THE UNITED STATES GOVERN.
MENT is RESOLVED TO EN-
FORCE NEUTRALITY.
REvOLUTIONISTS EXPELLED
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, Arrested at San
Antonio on Charge Of Conspiracy
Against Madero.

San Antonio, TeXas.-Because OF
the activity of alleged revolutionists
along the Texas-Mexican border, es-
pecially in the vicinity of Laredo,
Troop |, Third United States cavalry,
under Capt. G. B. Comfy, has been or
dered to that point for patrol duty.
The troop is now at Leon Springs.
Other troops may follow.
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, arrested upon
a Federal grand jury indictment,
charging conspiracy against friend
ly nation, appeared before United
States Commissioner Edwards and
make another bond for his appearance
at the next term of Federal court.
The general maintained his innocence
of the charge and expresses conf
dence in the outcome. His son, Ro-
dolfe Reyes, left for Laredo to look
after his fathers interests there.
Laredo, TeX-A fifth of a series
of arrests of prominent Mexicans
charging conspiracy against a friend
ly government was made when Juan
Meriga, formerly a captain in the
Mexican cavalry, was taken into GUS
tody by the United States marshals.

Washington.-The arrest of Gen
Bernardo Reyes by United States au.
thorities at San Antonio for violation
of the neutrality laws is exactly in
line with the policy of this govern
ment to stamp out revolutionary &C.
tivities against Mexico in United
States territory, according to Secre-
tary of State Knox.
THE arrest of General Reyes was
not requested by the Mexican govern
ment," said Secretary Knox. THE pol
icy of this government has not chang
ed one iota since the inauguration of
Madero. So far as the United States
is concerned, the situation is identi-
cal with that existing last spring when
Madero's agents were being arrested
for violating the neutrality laws"
Austin, Texas.-All revolutionists
in the vicinity of Laredo must leave
Texas within forty-eight hours, read
the specific orders of Gov. o. B. Col
quit of Texas to Adj. Gen. Henry
Hutchins, who is at Laredo to cope
with the situation there.

U. S. SOLDIERS FOR CHINA
REGIMENT WILL LEAVE MANILA
FOR PORT IN STRIKING DIS
TANcE OF PEkIN.
Line Between Pekin and the Sea
Will Be Kept open by
U. s. Troops.

Washington.-The state department
has practically decided to send a reg
iment Of troops from Manila to Chin
wingtao, seaport in China, about 25O
miles from Pekin on the Gulf of Pc
chill. The purpose is to perform an
International duty under the Boxer
treaty in keeping open the line of
communication between Pekin and
the sea.
1t was said at the state department
that request for the troops has not
yet been made on the war department,
but it was momentarily expected. The
officials were careful to make it ap-
pear that the dispatch of these troops
to China would be absolutely without
any political meaning and the move
ment was not to be construed as in
PREVENTION.
Under the treaty which terminated
the Boxer troubles the United States,
with other powers, was accorded the
privilege of maintaining a military
tween Pekin and the sea in order to
guard against such an event as the
siege of the legations during the Box
er uprising.
Beyond the maintenance Of a ma
rine guard of one hundred men (only
recently and temporarily increased
to two hundredD, the United States
has never awaited itself of this permits
sion and it has fallen to the lot of
other nations, principally Great Brit
ain, France and Japan, to maintain
small garrisons along the line Of the
road from Tien Tsin to Pekin. 1t is
felt that it is now incumbent upon the
United States to perform its part of
this duty, hence the decision to en-
ploy some troops to supplement the
marine guard
