ALDERMEN
OF BEACH
ARRESTED
HELD TO CRIMINAL COURT
ALTERING BOOKS CHARGE
NEiGH6oRiNG ALDERMEN uN
ABLE TO STAND FOR THIS
CITY GETTING AHEAD IN Mu-
NlciPAL SENSATIONS.

With evident jealousy ranking
within the breasts of the men behind
the town and unable to stand the
thoughts of having the city of Day
tona forge ahead of Daytona Beach
in the matter of municipal sensa-
tions another chapter has been add
ed to the feud of long standing in
Daytona Beach and three members of
the town council have been placed
under arrest and bound over to the
next session of the criminal court TO
face charge of altering tax books
The three men under arrest are
Aldermen Stephen Smith, e. C. Hib-
bard and John Thompson, who were
arrested last Thursday on warrants
saworn out by Clark G. Smith, the
charge being defacing and falsifying
the town tax books. A preliminary
hearing was held Saturday before
Justice H. G. Wilson at the Seabree G
town hall, Attorney Pope represent
ing the state and Stewart & Bly, the
defendants. Justice Wilson bound
the defendants over to appear before
the criminal court.
The trouble arose over an action
of the council in ordering the clerk
to make some corrections in the town
tax books, which are said to have
been changed after they had been
submitted by the assessor and ap-
proved by the council in session
The corrections ordered by the coun.
ell are said to have been merely
| changes that had been made by the
assessor after the books had been
approved by the council, and if the
action is criminal it is the belief oi
the attorneys the criminal action is
merely technical and not done with
criminal intent

alistic ceremonies of the order, being
in charge of the regular officers of
the lodge, assisted by the members
and others, special musical selections
contributing with the address OF

Rev Mr. Gammell, who is a member
OF the order. The speaker talked
from his experience as a member of
the Daytona lodge and frequent as
socfations with the local members in
and out of the lodge and club rooms,
and explained, in way, to the audi
enee some of the principles on which
the order is founded and for which
the members stand.
From the address of Mr.. Gammel
the audience learned that the order
Of Elks was founded about 25 years
ago as a club in New York City, and
since that time has grown to embrace
nearly 1900 lodges and 100000 mem
bers in cities in the United States.
The memorial services of these lodge
are held once each year, the first Sun
day in December, and these services
are open to the public to show that
member of the order is never for
gotten, whether living or dead.
The services Sunday evening were
attended by an audience which filled
| the theater auditorium.

A Strenuous Month

1t Is quite generally understood
that once each year all mail leaving
the postoflices must be weighed and
recorded for short periods, but this
year Postmaster Bashor received no.
tice that during the month OF May
accurate information must be kept on
the following:
The number of pieces handled.
The actual time consumed In han
ding same.
The actual number of pieces han
died per minute.
The average number OF landings
each piece receives, with reference to
classes and sub-classes.
This, of course. is required that ac-
curate government statistics may be
made, but 1t makes the postinaster's
already detailed work more taxing.

Telegraphic Invention

New York, April Elm the pres
ence OF prominent representatives OF
the army and navy, distinguished sci.
entists aud the country's foremost in
ventors, a demonstration was given
here under the joint auspices OF the
New York World and the st. Louis
Post Dispatch OF an invention de-
signed TO prevent foreign spies from
tapping government wires and learn
| ing the secrets OF the war, navy and
state departments. For half an hour
messages were exchanged between the
Two newspaper offices, LOGO miles
apart, and the new method was de-
clarcd an unqualified success. 1t is
the invention Of Patrick B. Dclnny,
inventor OF the tclapost automatic
telegraph, the multiplcx, the anti-page
relay and other improvements to the
telegraph and cable. 1t breaks up the
dots and dashcs forming the letters Of
the telegraph code and requires the
use OF two circuits which in this ini-
tal demonstration travcrscd widely
separated territory. One went to st.
Louis by way Of Philadelphia, Pitts
Tcrrc Hautc and the other by way OF
Albany. Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo
and Chicago
The two wires were controlled and
operated from an ordinary single
Morse key and the message was re-
ccivcd over single receiver the same
as an ordinary communication. Each
alternate DOT or dash travelled over one
wire and the other dots and dashcs
over the other, and although the dis
miles longer than that Of the other
each impulse reached the receiving
instrument in its proper sequence. by
tapping either wire all that the secret
service of an enemy would get would
be Il string Of meaningless dots and
dashcs OF no value to him.
The mechanical device that accom-
plishcs this is very simple, requires
no special skill to operate and can be
used in any combination of two cir
ccptiblc. 1t makes the cUding of mes
sages unnecessary, thus saving hours
OF valuable time In periods OF urgency
when minutes are vital to the success
Of a movement, and will defy the iE
genuity Of foe to extract from the
wires anything that can be OF service
or profit to him.

be worth going miles to hear.
