Tallahassee, Fla, May Ex-senator
Stokes today received several tele-
grams in support OF his position in the
charter amendment bill, one Of which
was from City Attorney Jones who
congratulates him upon carrying
through the bill as recommended by
the city council and regretting the ac-
ton of Speaker Jennings in amending
the bill so as to eliminate the para
graphs relating. to the regulation of
public utility corporations.
Speaker Jennings said in regard to
the Pensacola charter amendment bill
that he was willing to yield to the
will of the majority of the people Of

of the people of Pensacola to put all
the public utilities under the regula-
tion of the city council am not aware
of it." said Mr.. Jennings.
Il am carrying out my election
pledge to do the best within my power
for all the people. The consumer has
rights that l am at all times ready to
protect, but at the same time I think
the men who have invested capital in
these public utilities also have some
rights that in justice should be pro-
tected. If the people of Pensacola

me to recede from my amendment to
the bill 1 shall obey their instructions,
Otherwise I have no purpose of re-

Tallahassee, May 25.-The names of
James w. Perkins for judge of the
Seventh circuit to succeed Judge
Minor S. Jones, was sent to the SEN
ate by the governor today and con-
firmed. The friends of Emmett Wilson
of Pensacola, in Tallahassee today,
who have had conference with the

attorney of the First circuit.
Lorenzo D. Creel. special agent for
the Seminole Indians of the United
States government, appeared before
the committee on Indian affairs today
and gave the committee the benefit of
his investigations in the Everglades
for the past three months. He has
made census of 446 Indians and will
recommend that the government with
draw twelve hundred acres of land
south of Lake Okeechobee for the
Seminoles. Mr.. Creel was sent to
Florida to investigate the condition of
the Indians under an appropriation of
fifteen Thousand dollars to relieve the
distress Of the red men. Under the
provisions of the act the money will
revert to the United States treasury,
for the inspector found no distress
among the Indians.
1t Is very likely, however, that the
state will make a reservation for the
Indians and that an Industrial school
will be established by the state under
Henry's bill to appropriate fifteen hun
dred dollars for that purpose. He will
also ask that certain lands in Monroe
county be set aside for their use and
occupation

But his pride overmastered the nobler

Pride, and the sense of his wrong.
