RLoUNT CONSTRUCTION CO. ADJ
DRESSES COMMUNICATION TO
COUNTY BOARD, THROUGH
RLouNT & RLouNT 4 CARTER,
WHO NOW REPRESENT FIRM.

Through their attorneys. Blount &
Blount & Carter. the Blount Construc-
ton Co, general contractors on the
Escambia county Jail building, have
written the board of county commits
sioners a letter stating that they think
they should have been entitled to a
representative at the executive ses-
sions at which the reports of the
architects were received and dis
cussed.
The clerk of the board Of county
commissioners replied to the letter,
stating that the board would discuss
the matter with the contractors. or
their representatives, at q time to be
mutually agreed upon by the con-
tractors and the board and that a
special meeting will be called for this
purpose.
1t is understood from the fact that
the Blount Construction Co. have
placed the matter in the hands of
their attorneys that the general con-
tractors do not intend 20 be governed
by the report of the architect, although
no formal notice to this effect has
been issued.

HOBO ARRESTS
TIMEs-DEMocRAT SAYS ACTS OF
EscAMRIA COUNTY OFFICERS
MAY YET BE TURNED TO THE
ADVANTAGE OF FLORIDA TAX
PAYERS.

Under the caption OF Exploiting the
Hobo the Times Democrat of New
Orleans recently contained the follow
ing:
The town marshal of an Alabama
community situated near the Florida
line accuses sundry brother officers
Just across the boundary of extending
a deceptive-and to their tax paying
constituents a very expensive-flos-
pitality to those victims of wanderlust
sometimes yclept "hoboes." It appears
that, for the arrest and imbastille-
ment of Migrants offending against
the laws, the peace and the dignity of
the state OF Florida, these officers COL
lect certain statutory fees. Among
them is an allowance for mileage
computed by measuring the distance
from the point where the arrest Is
made to the jail where Incarceration
takes place. The Alabama officer al
leges that certain of the Florida Of
6cers, on divers chilly nights. have
built huge bonfires on their own side
of the line to lure the shivering free
companions from Alabama's SOIL
When their unsuspicious victims have
gathered round these havens of light
and comfort, he charges that the
Florida stalkers gather them in, con-
vey them to a convenient bastille and
collect the fees for such service pro-
vided.
Thus the story from an Alabama
guardian OF the peace-who admits,
however, that the comfy supposed to
exist between sovereign states and the
officers thereof has been destroyed in
so far as it relates to him and to the
Florida deputies against whom his
charges are brought. His recital is
not vet supported by legal proof, but
lit is interesting, whether provable or
not. And in any case he describes an
easy and practicable method of abus-
ing the fee system. Devices quite as
ingenious have been employed in other
states whose peace officers were re
Enumerated by fees instead of salaries.
In a middle western state. for exam
ple-where the fee system is now a
mere ugly memory-huge sums were
collected from the treasury of one
county during the year of Coxey's
great trek. Hundreds of wayfarers
were then abroad in the land. Sun
dry ingenious constables reaped high
harvests in fees by batting" empty
box cars with clean and repose-invit-
ing straw. Making their rounds at
dawn. they frequently collected a
dozen or fifteen way-worn slumberers
per car. who were promptly arrested
and charged with vagrancy. the vigil
liant and resourceful officers collect
ing a snug sum for each case.
Discovery of these practices led in
that state to the enactment Of laws
placing constables. justices of the
peace and other minor officials upon
salaries graduated to correspond with
their legitimate duties. Both the tax
payers and the officers benefited.
though the latter were inclined at first
to regret the loss of their fees" The
reported discovery in F7orida-if the
Alabama marshaPs story be verified
may be turned to F7orida's advantage
If the state legislature is moved there
by to adjustment of system under
which such abuses are-to say the
least-possible."

that because many in their number
broke windows and machinery during
the trouble Saturday when several
hundred struck, they could not get
their jobs back The crowd rushed
for the entrance. but the great iron
gate swung shut.
The men began fusillade Of t0cks
and stones and mi officials sent a
hurry call to Lawrence police head
quarters for hep Two automobiles
loaded with police rushed to the
scene. They caught the mob of two
hundred in a blind" street before
the mill gates and waded into them
with swinging clubs, making no ef-
fort to arrest anyone. In three pin-
utes the street was covered with
PROSTATE forms with cracked and
bleeding heads Then the crowd
which had been fighting with bare
fists against the police ubs. broke
