NET RESULT OF NOTHING
Outcome Of the Wall-Edwards Bribery
Investigation
tTampa Tribune)

The great two hundred dollar sensa-
ton a Tallahassee has been investi-
gated and the only result is that the
messenger, who had convenient loss
of memory, has been discharged. Moth
ing has been learned, because OF the
said messengers "forgettery" Of
whence the money came or whittier IL
went, after il has been spurned by the
ruggedly honest Mr.. Wall.
II the truth were known. IL would
doubtless be discovered that the incl
dent was "frame-up" and that IL en-
anated from the gentlemen who We're
so active in advocating the passage Of
the antiracing law. They realized that
a mysterious tender of money just at
that time would be charged TO the rae
ing interest, because they were proper

business AZ the capital II turned out
just "a the framers-up expected. Mr..
Wall. himself. in reporting the matter
to the House. mentioned the race-track
interests first among those he suspect
ed Of the Insult. The members who
had not fully decided how they would
vote on the racing bill were converted
at once. They feared that vote
against the bill or failure TO vote
would put them under suspicion as
having received sealed envelopes from
the taciturn messenger.
II was a smooth trick and il worked.
The messenger has lost his job. but he
has proba bly, been remembered" by
those in the deal. II is unfortunate,
however, that the Investigating COM
mittee could not unmask the whole
proceedings. 1t would have proved an
interesting revelation OF the divers
methods adopted TO influence legisla-
tion at Tallahassee

A DIRECT CHARGE
AGAINST LORIMER'S ELECTION

The report of the Helm senatorial
committee. appointed to investigate
circumstances surrounding the election
OF William Lorimer to the United
States Senate has been returned to}the
Illinois Senate. The two most vital
points are a criticism by Judge Petit

Your committee has reached the
conclusion that the election of William
Lorimer before the last general assem-
bly, would not have occurred had it not
been for bribery and corruption"

Tallahassee. May 19-Pinellas county
advocates are jubilant. The county di-
vision. looping OF a portion OF Hills
borough and converting il into a new
county, passed the Senate yesterday
afternoon by a vote Of 20 to 3. The sig
nature Of the governor and ratifica-
ton OF the measure by three-ffths OF
the residents of the newly created
created county is all that is needed
now TO make the measure a law.
Moreover. the question is already be-
ing raised as to whether or not il will
be necessary to take vote on the
measure, many contending that the
signature OF the governor is all that
is necessary for the measure TO be-
come a law.

Income Amendment Strikes . SnaR
! \ startling discovery was made yes
terday when the Senate found that IL
could not constitutionally ratify the
income tax amendment as the House
did several weeks ago. After debate
for many hours, vote was about TO be
taken when Senator Dayton read the
followin gsection from the constitu-
ton of the state Of Florida:
NO convention nor legislature of the
state shall act upon any amendment of
the constitution OF the United States
proposed by Congress, to the several
states, unless such convention or legis-
lature shall have been elected after
such amendment il submitted"
All hold over senators. which is halt
of the present Senate, We're elected
more than two years ago and prior &c
the submission of the income tax
amendment by Congress. The wording
of this section Of the Florida consti-
tuition is very plain and the point rails
ed by Senator Dayton will interest the
entire country. The matter was re-
6erred to a committee OF five lawyers
members Of the Senate, who will report
Tuesday. No vote was taken yester-
day. The committee consists Of Mes

a UNIQUE lemon Party.

Just as i was trying my best to con-
lure something new for you this week
and wondering what it would be,
along comes Polly" my never failing
one, all bubbling over with her Lem
on party Sounds refreshing, doesn't
it? She cut the invitations out OF
slightly rough yellow stiff paper. tied
with a little bow Of 1emony satin rib
bon. When all the guests arrived
they went on to the porch and were
given lemon shaped cards through the
TOP of which a spray of fragrant lemon
verbena- On the table there was q
pile of lemons; each guest drew one,
cut it open with a silver fruit knife
and counted the seeds, writing down
the number on her lemon card, also
writing her name. The lemons were
then taken to the pantry and soon re-
appeared in the shape of lemonade
The seeds were collected and placed
in glass fruit jar, where every one
could see them, and guesses were TAX
en- as to the total number, the number
guessed being also recorded on the
card. Then refreshments were served,
consisting of lemon aspic salad, sar-
dine sandwiches, lemon sherbet and
cakes iced with lemon frosting. Candy
boxes in shape of lemons were passed
for favOrs, each one containing per-
feet little lemon quarters in the shape
of candy. Then the prize for the
nearest guess on the lemon seeds was
awarded. 1t was a straw garden hat
trimmed with lemon colored tarle-
ton and a bunch of artificial lemons.
The consolation prize was half-dozen
lemons and a china lemon squeezer-
Every one said it was most enjoy
able party and Polly" added anoth-
er laurel to her wreath in honor of
her clever ability as a hostess

An Orchard Party.

We had taken what was practically
an abandoned farm for the summer
and were mediating how to entertain
our city friends in some rather unus-J
ual way when Polly" came to the
rescue and said, Lets have an Or
chard" party. So the artist of the
family did lovely invitations, with ap-
pie trees as the decorative scheme.
We had four small tables each with
rustic baskets for the centerpiece
filled with field wild flowers. The
place cards were made from squares
of birch bark, and the joke favors
were wrapped in yellow tissue paper
and tied to the trees, from which they
were cut by the guests. Then we
sent in town and got fruit-shaped
candy boxes, which were strung at in
tervals on yellow cord after the meth
Cd of the old but always funny cob
web parties, and stretched these
strings over good part of the or
chard. The hunt after the luncheon
for the fruit" added much to the
merriment Sometimes it was neces-
sary to climb up a ladder convenient
ly placed under a tree to reach the
fruit" which was just out of reach,
and sometimes a rail fence had to be
climbed. The guests were all told
to wear tub suits, and broad brimmed
straw hats were provided

For the Hostess

hung from the veranda, alternating
with japanese lanterns of various
shapes. The table centerpiece was
made from a scooped-out half of mel
on filled with brilliantly Solored mas
turtiums; the name cards were ex-
tremely odd, being squares of melon
rinds the names etched down to the
pale lining of the rind. sharp or
ange wood stick was used for letter
ing. The place doilies were made
from melon seeds. the black colorins
showing up beautifully on the pink.
The first course was iced watermelon
juice with tiny cubes of the pink fruit
floating in the green bouillon cups
The next course was watermelon and
canteloupe salad served in white let
tuce hearts in pink salad cups made
from crepe paper, and the third course
consisted of salad cups made from
pink crepe paper, and the third
course consisted of watermelon frappe
served in little boats from watermel-
on rinds neatly cut out with a very
sharp knife, each boat having darby
doll to steer it. After this unique
repast, a quartet of darkies sang coon
songs for an hour; they were con-
cealed by the shrubbery on the lawn
and the music was greatly enjoyed by
the guests on the porch, the moon
came up and it was all lovely and I'M
usual.

Locomotive Blows Out Fire.

Using a locomotive engine to ex-

but it is what happened there recent

on plenty of steam. The engineer
saw the fire and steamed up to a
point opposite the burning building,
turned on all his steam and blew the
fire out in a few minutes. The steam
smothered the fire.
