WHY NOT.

A friend of ours wants to know if it
is possible for ladies to see the boxing
match at the Temple Saturday night.
We see no reason why they shouldn't.
There is nothing debasing in the event.
It is a contest in strength and skill
between two men, both of whom live
much cleaner lives than the average,
and whose profession is just as hon
orable as that of ball player or avia-
tor. With most of the plays that are
staged containing reference, if not out
right allusion, to immortality. we think
it is straining at gate and swallow
ing sawmill to look question: bly, 1t
a boxing match.

THE AUTOMOBILE PARADE

One Of the NOSE beautiful and spec
tacular features of the Marion County
Fair, now in full blast, was the auto
mobile parade of some twenty artist
ically decorated cars A gentleman
from our neighboring city of Jackson
Vile remarked that such a parade
would be impossible there and that he
would like it If the Ocala ladies who
planned and executed this lovely pa
geant, would agree to show Jackson
Vile how to do it. The cars were lined
up on the courthouse square. and from
there proceeded to the fair grounds
Every auto in the parade is worthy OF
special mention and so varied were the
plans that it was genuine kaliedeo-
scopic view. Mrs. II. NJ. Hampton's
car, which was a symphony in scarlet,
was awarded the first prize. Mrs.
Hampton was accompanied by Misses
Mary Burford, Alta Pearson, Sara Da-
Wis and Clara johnson. The party rep
resented Japanese girls and wore red
kimonas and red chrySanthemums in
their hair. A large, gorgeously color
ed Japanese umbrella formed a canopy
over the car.
The second prize was won by Mrs
R. s. Halls seven-passenger auto The
plans for this winner" were also Dor
rowed from the Land of the Rising
Sum-" and were carried out perfectly
in every detail. The car was entirely
hidden by artistically arranged drap-
cry, wisteria and lavender sweet peas
The spokes Of the wheels were wound
around with the two colors, with 6
huge chrysanthemum as the hub. The
ladies occupying this car were very

silk parasols ornamented with spray!

KAISER RESTRAINS SPIES
Forbids officers Visiting Eng
land Without Leave.
fRy Cable to The Tribune. !

London. Dec 21.-The Kaiser acting IN
his capacity AZ commander in chief OF
the German army. has forbidden all his
officers to visit England without permis-
sion from the military authorities. Al
present German officers must obtain the
consent Of the authorities to travel
abroad. but they have not been required
to state their foreign destination.
The Kaisers new decree is intended TO
prevent German officers from undertak-
ing at their own risk espionage on Brit
ish territory Hitherto this has been
common practice among the ambitious
young military men who desired to gain
distinction by bringing home useful in
formation about Englands defences.
This new order, however, does not
mean that German officers will cease to
visit England as agents Of the Intelli-
gence Department hut they viii resign
their commissions during the period of
such activity. so that If they are arrested
they may be described as mere civilians

GAYNOR'S ASSAIlANT UP
Medical Commission Appointed
to Test Gallagher's Sanity.

Trenton y. J., Dec 2l.-Upon appliCa-
tion of Prison Keeper Osborne, Judge
Gnichtel to-day appointed two physi-
clans as a commission to pass upon the
sanity of James J. Gallagher, who is
serving twelve year sentence for the
attempted assassination of Mayor Gay
nor On August .. 1910. as the Mayor was
about to sail for Europe.
This action was taken with the ap-
proval Of DR. Thomas II. Mackenzie,
visiting physician of the prison. The
two physicians appointed have not made
their report yet, but it is said that Gal
lagher is suffering from paresis and will
probably not live more than a year.
At the time Gallagher was tried four
physicians testified that he was then
suffering from paresis. This testimony
was combated by Or. Allan McLane
Hamilton and Or. Carlos f. Macdonald

tionaI Convention.
TALK HERE WAS FRIENDLY
Koenig and Parsons Told Mr.
Taft City Delegates Would
BE for Him - Gossip
Trash" Says Hilles.
From TIE Tribune Bureau J

Washington Dec 2l.-Willlam BARNES
r.. did not promise the New York dele
cation 10 the Republican National con-
yentiou to President Taft, according TO
Secretary Hilles on the other hand'
Mcssrs Koenig and Parsons both toto
the President that they confidently eN-
pected that the delegates from New
York rity would be instructed to vote
FOR his nomination
Mr.. Barnes did outline a somewhat
ambitious scheme whereby he would con-
vert the New York State convention INTO
sort Of debating society to thrash out
the leading public questions OF the day
and whereby the convention would IN
struct it's four delegates t-large To work
theoretically at Chicago 70 insure that
the platform Of the national convention
should be based On that OF New YORK
state. Mr.. Barnes did not ask the Presi-
dent for any assistance TO this end, ana
Mr. Taft merely intimated 10 Mr.. Barnes
that probably the success Of his IDEA
would depend largely on the extent 10
which the New York state platform con-
formed to the views of the Republicans
of the entire country.
Secretary Hilles took occasion to-day
10 brand as trash a good deal OF the po-
litical gossip regarding the Presidents
visit 10 New York which found its way
into the public prints. The conferences
when President Taft had in New YORK
were entirely pleasant and friendly, nut
Of considerab bile less political importance
tim hac been sought to attach to them.
OF course. from many sources the Presl-
dent heard predictions that the New
York delegation would be for his NOM
Ination. All suggestion that there is war
between Mr. Taft and Mr.. Barnes. or
that it was necessary for Mr.. Barnes TO
come to make his peace with the Presl-
dent. etc. is pronounced to be without
foundation.
The President does not now cherish,
and a.. no time has cherished, any enmity
To Mr.. Barnes: nor, so far as he is aware
does Mr.. Barnes cherish any enmity
toward HIM Neither is the President
likely to seek TO influence the chairman
of the Republican State Committee OF
that state any more than he Will seek to
exert influence I'm the affairs of any other
state.
