TAKES ALL HIS TINE

According to a recent letter received
in the city by a friend of Commodore
Goodwin, he has felt obliged to de-
cline an invitation from Major General
Leonard Wood, chief of STAFF Of the
United States army, to serve as a
director of the National Remount AS
ISOLATION. 1t seems that army officials
are considerably perturbed to the
future source Of supply for cavalry re-
mounts and army horses and the Ma
tional Remount Association will en-
deavor to encourage farmers in the in
telligent production of horses suitable
for army purposes and also Of animals
of general utility. Mr.. Goodwin de-
clined the appointment on the ground
that his work as managing editor of
the Breeders Gazette claims all his eff
fort. 1t was understood before Mr..
Goodwin left for his Chicago home in
April that the Lake Weir Yacht Club
would need to find a new commodore
next year, as the work and worry of
the commodore's activities around the
lake have defeated the end for which
he established his winter residence on
Lake Weir, namely: rest. He is said to
have confided to friend that he came
to Florida firm in the belief that it is
better to wear out than rust out, but
that he has altered his view on that
subject.

TRAGEDY At CLER MONT
Crazed by Drink, Young Man Murderer
His Wife and Then Defed Arrest,
But Finally Captured

Clermont, June 4.-The most appall-
ing tragedy in the history of the state
was enacted here Saturday evening
when Mr.. A. V. Hough shot and in
stantly killed his young and beautiful
wife.
Crazed by weeks of steady drinking.
coupled with business reverses, his
mind was undoubtedly in a chaotic
condition when he committed the ter
rible deed.
Rushing from the house after firing
four shots in the body of his wife
while she was seated at her sewing
machine, he proclaimed his crime to
the people of the town: defled any one
to arrest him and declared his inten-
ton to take his own life. Deputy
Sheriff Mills was quickly notified and
appeared on the scene with aid of for
mer friends of Mr.. Hough. Diploma tic
pleadings and promises of protection
induced the murderer to surrender his
arms and submit to arrest with out
further bloodshed. He was placed upon
the T. & G. train which was waiting
and landed in the TavareS Jail
Mrs. Rose Hough was the youngest
daughter of the late D. S. Crenshaw,
prominent business and naval
stores man.

CORSPS LITTLE BOAT
is DEEP-SEA CRUISER

Jacksonville, June 2.-Signor Emilio
Corsi of West Palm Beach sailed yes
terday on his deep sea auxiliary cruiser
Nautilus, a small craft which he has
designed and built and in which he ar
rived in port several weeks ago.
On leaving West Palm Beach the
inland waterway route was taken but
after reaching St. Augustine, Signor
Corsi took to the open sea. The Maui
titus met with a heavy storm but
weathered the same with ease. The
Nautilus was started several years
ago when Signor Corsi decided to
build a boat along the ideas he had
had in mind for years. During his
spare time he developed his plans
and built the boat on which he work
ed for a number of years.
The Nautilus is fifty-twO feet over
all and has a water line of forty fee.
and beam of thirteen feet. She is
provided with two masts and is
known as an auxiliary dep sea cruiser,
ketch rig Her Clifton engines, six
cylinder, have twenty eight horse pow
er for general speed and forty-horse-
power for full speed. Her speed is ten
and one-half miles per hour.
In this small craft the owner pro-
poses some day to cross the Atlantic,
when he contemplates making visit
to his native land. Italy.
The trip TO New York from Jack
sonville will be made with one man
as a crew and the outside course will
be taken, no port TO be touched be-
tween here and New York. Signor
Corsf is an excellent musician and his
we'll modulated and robust baritone
has often been heard in Palm Beach
county. where he makes his home.
Recently Signor Corsi was natural
lied an American citizen. His many
friends will await with interest his
long trip on the ocean aboard the liz
tie Nautilus. The cruiser, while in
port. has been anchored off South
jacksonville near the ferry and the
trim. neat white cruiser has attracted
general attention
About the end of September or
early in October. Signor Corsi expects
to call at this port again en- route to
Palm Beach for the winter months
and season.

KNOTT HAD THE LARGEST VOTE

In looking over the published cleo
tion returns, We see that Hon. w. V.
Knott received the greatest number OF
votes of any candidate for any office
in the State of Florida. AS is well
known, Mr.. Knott resigned the office
of state treasurer, where he had served
most efficiently for nine years, to ac-
cept the office of comptroller, tender
ed him upon the death of the lamented
Mr.. Groom. less than three months be-
fore the recent primary. At that time
there were three candidates declared
for the office of comptroller, each of
whom gracefully withdrew as soon as
it percolated through their respective
brains whom they had to run against
And although the varied and RESPONSE
BILE duties of his new office. and the
few weeks intervening between his APP
pointment and the primaries kept Mr..
Knott from doing but very little in the
interest of his campaign, the true
worth of the "big-hearted" and big
Drained Will Knott sufficiently
we'll known and appreciated through
out the State, for the people TO cast
more votes for him than for any other
man. Hurrah for VIII KnOtt-Flo-

ENLISTING THE EDITORS

The Times-U Union says: From the
interest being displayed in the ap-
preaching good roads auto run from
Jacksonville to Palatka June 81, the
event will be the most successful and
far reaching of any of similar charac-
ter ever held in Florida. The run will
be held under auspices of the Jack
sonville board of trade and is in the
interest of a state highway from the
Metropolis to Tampa. D. Kelly Rob-
erts, chairman Of the subcommittee
having charge of the arrangements, is
working theoretically for the success
of the run and is well pleased over the
prospects.
The state. press association will be
in session in Palatka at the time the
good road enthusiasts reach the Gem
City, the tour being planned at this
particular time in an endeavor to en-
list the sympathies OF the editors in
the good roads cause generally and
particularly a state highway between
the two chief cities of Florida.

On our first page today We print ne
article from the New York World, ad-
vocating the nomination of Wilson,
which the Times Union and few other
papers are making such a feeble effort
to answer. The force and logic of the
Worlds arguments are obvious. There
are two things about the World that it
is impossible to deny. One is its indie
pendence. The other is the accuracy
of its political predictions. 1t has the
best methods in the country for ascer-
tanning the trend of popular sentiment
and reports 1t accordingly. 1t is one of
the few papers which does not always
predict according to its wishes, and it's
opinions always carry weight with
thinking men.

SHADY WAYS

We have spoken often for good pub
lie roads as the best investment. ev-
erything considered. that the country
can make; but We are indebted to the
Maryland state grange for the sound
suggestion that there are no really
good country roads without shade
trees along them. The practical, eco
nomic value Of trees along the road
side is beyond dispute. They actually
protect the road and lessen the cost of
upkeep. How much they add to the
money value of abutting farms it
would be difficult to estimate: but il,
of two farms otherwise exactly equal
to value and offered a the same price,
one is fringed by shade trees and the
other is bare, there is little doubt
which nine buyers out of ten would
prefer. In no other way can the at
fractions of bit Of country road be so
much enhanced. Who that drives in
the country doesn't feel grateful to the
farmer whose trees beautify the scene?
Planting shade trees where none exist
is not really expensive, and in the long
run it pays quite as we'll, at least, as
planting wheat. There are of course
certain practical problems such as
avoiding too dense a shade upon grain
land and selecting the right stock;
but a treeless road anywhere outside
the desert is a reproach to those who
live on it.-Saturday Evening Post
Editor Star: The above article from
last weeks Saturday Evening Post
ought to make mighty good reading
for our county commissioners, who are
permitting the owners of land on our
hard roads to cut down every tree be-
tween the outside Of their fences and
the roadway.
One of the beauties of the Silver
drive out from Ocala. Many of us can
recall the time when nearly the whole
distance was one continuous arch
formed by the splendid trees on each
side of the road and visitors were fully
as enthusiastic over the beauties of the
road as they were with those of the
Springs.
Today however this is being rapidly
changed Owners of adjacent property
are destroying the road and reducing
the value of their holdings by cutting
down every tree even tho it be out on
the line of the surfaced road There is
certainly some law that will prevent
such sacrilege. and it should be the
duty of the commissioners to see it en-
forced, otherwise our beautiful drives
will soon be replaced by something
little better than the alkali plains of
Arizona. H. c. P.
