DIRECT ELECTION
BILL TO PEOPLE
SUPREME COURT ORDERS CLERK
TO CERTIFY REcoRD-oovER-
NOR WILL ORDER BALLOTS.

II there was any attempt to hold up
a vote on the initiated bill provid'
ing for the direct election of sena.
tors, the attempt was nipped in the
bud when Justice Hayes in the su-
prcme court issued an order Friday
morning, directing W. II. J.. Camp
bell, clerk of the supreme court, 10
Immediately transmit to the secre-
tary OF state the records and papers
in the appeal which was recently
dismissed by Attorney c. d. Gibson,
who filed it.
Earlier in the day Governor Cruce
had expressed his intention of in
structing the state election board to
make all the necessary arrangements
for the printing OF the ballots and for
getting them out TO the voting pre-
cincts in time to be voted on in the
August primary. The bill was not
certified back to the secretary OF
state until nearly 5 o'clock Friday af-
ternocn and at that time Governor
Cruce had left the state house for
the day.
The governor said Friday night
that he would take M the matter the
first thing Saturday morning and
would see to It that the order is Civ
en- for the ballots before night. The
printers will be put to work on them
at once and il is believed that by
Tuesday they will be in the hands
of the election board and ready to
send olt.
The action of the supreme court
was taken after DR.. A. Grant Evans
had written a letter to Justice Hayes,
citing the alleged statements of
Clark Campbell in which the latter
said that day and a half would he
required to check up all the papers
in the case, after which a fifteen-day
rule governing the certifying of de-
cisions was invoked.
The supreme courts order to Clerk
Campbell reads as follows: "it is the
decision of this court that the rule
OF this court providing fifteen days
in which a defeated party may file
a petition for rehearing here. has no
application in this case wherein the
action has been dismissed upon mo-
ton Of the plaintiff in error, and that
the effort OF the order heretofore
made by the court dismissing the
cause upon said motion is that the
clerk Of the court shall Immediately
transmit to the secretary Of state the
record of papers in said cause for his
further action. and the clerk is here
by directed to comply with said order
as herein interpreted"

Der of telephons calls We're received

AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

Several nights ago, as Mr.. and Mrs.
L. K. Edwards were returning from
Ocala to their home at Irvine in their
automobile, they ran into a log across
the road, which had been blown down
by the storm a few days before. The
automobile was almist completely de-
molished, and Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards
both very narrowly escaped serious
injury. Mrs. Edwards was thrown
through the windshield, but fortu-
nately for her a heavy laprobe saved
her from being badly cut, although as
it was she received several severe
cuts and bruises, and Mr.. Edwards
was also badly bruised and shaken
up. Their many friends rejoice ex-
ceedingly that their accident was not
a serious one.

JAS. p. DEPAss FOUND DEAD
Was Son Of Famous Methodist
Preacher-His Forebears Lived

in This County
Early this morning the dead body
of James P. DePass, Jr, a young
man well known in Miami, was found
in a room at lodging house on Ave-
nue. C, near Fourth street, In badly
decomposed condition, the man hav-
ing apparently been dead Cor several
days.
On finding the body, ncighbors tel
ephoned Deputy Sheriff Hendrickson,
and w. G. Mccall, the coroner. A
coroner's jury was empanelled, con-
sisting of Messrs. J. P Nelson, Ray
mond Dillon, J. w. Harper, ]. J..
Cambs, Jr, M. T. Cam and Eugene
Porter, and the case was Immediately
investigated
From all testimony given before
the jury it appeared that the man
had long been in very bad state Of
health, suffering from asthma and tl-
berculosis. He was seen alive on
Saturday night last.
The door was broken open this
morning and the body was found in
cramped condition, kneeling be-
tween the bed and wall, and, as stat
ed, in a very advanced stage of de-
composition. 1t is believed that De
pass must have died some time Sun
day or early Monday morning.
After careful examination of the
case, the jury rendered a verdict
stating that in their belief death re-
suited from natural causes.
Undertakes w. H. Combs Com
pany were called and the remains
were removed to the undertaking par
lors on Thirteenth street.
The deceased was a son of DIR. Jas.
P. DePass, the well known Metho-
dist minister of Williston, Fla, who
died very suddenly in this city on
January 80, 1907, while visiting
lTI0uuS.
During the illness of the young
man he was visited by many friends
in the city. He occupied a small
room in lodging house at the corner
of Avenue G and Fourth street. He
was we'll knowns and was a member
of the First Methodist church, south,
of this city.
The remains are being held for in
structions as to funeral arrange
ments. Mrs. James DePass, mother
of the deceased, at Williston, Fla, is
now in Key West, and it is probable
that she will arrive in the city to-
morrow and accompany the remains
to the old home at Williston for in
terment.-Miami Metropolis.

son on the Juvenile State" He is
doing a splendid thing in his practi-

is succeeding is beyond his most san

MARTHA WASHINGTON PARTY

Complete and delightful in every
detail was the large party given by
the young ladies of the Methodist
Philathea class at the residence of
Mrs. w. w. Clyatt on Dougherty
street on Friday night.
Mrs. J. w. Tally, Mr.. and Mrs. L.
w. Duval and Miss Sallie Bird Young
Two is president of the class) and
the officers of the class received in
the hall and gave to each guest hap
by greeting.
Mrs. w. w. Clyatt and Mrs. D. w.
Tompkins served fruit punch in the
hall. Over the punch table was sus-
pended a white satin parasol with
red, white and blue ribbon draped
over and around it and then tackled
to the wall making very pretty
picture. The hall lights were shaded
with red shades, the parlor lights
were white and the library was blue
carrying out the patriotic color
scheme. Over the mantel in the par
lor was large picture of George and
Martha Washington draped in red,
white and blue.
There were eight tables arranged in
the parlor and library and the guests
played. (42 with dominoes) Is games
were played and thoroughly enjoyed
after which timetables were cleared
and refreshments were served con-
sisting of cherry ice cream, with
white iced cake with a large red
cherry on each slice, On each plate
was a card with red, white and blue
bows on them with the fortune of
each written on the card.
Miss Lois Ellis recited piece
which was quite witty and everyone
enjoyed.
The young men then voted on the
prettiest colonial costume worn by
the young ladies-Miss Annie Pearl
Liddon, and Miss Louise Nixon re-
ceived the greatest number of votes
and they were both given a bunch of
violets which is the class flower
as the young ladies could not decide
which of the two were the prettiest.
George Washington was voted the
handsomest costume and was reward
ed a Ratchet.
Miss Minnie Stovall as president of
entertainment committee and her as
sistants deserve a great deal of
chedit in giving the Phillatheas one
of the prettiest as well as most en-
joyable parties they have ever had.
The pretty old fashion dresses the
girls wore and their powdered hair,
lent a charm to the evening and am
sure Mrs. Washington would have
been pleased if she could have seen
some of the dresses and would have
given them an approving smile.
Mr.. Wheeler and Mr.. Rivers cos
tunes deserve special mention as
they certainly looked like grand CO.
lonial gentlemen.
The young men that were honored
with an invitation from the Philathea
class say it was one of the most en-
joyable evenings they have spent in
quite awhile.
