ARRIVES IN JACKSONVILLE AND
EXPECTS TO SPEND SEW
ERAL WEEKS IN CITY.
TOO MANY GIRLS ON TRAIL
Simon David Paddock Left Fortune by
an Uncle and Who Gained Reputa-
tion as Spendthrift in New York's
Gay White Way.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 4. Who
would have thought that the young
millionaire who has been burnl1s up
Broadway during the last few months
setting the hearts of the chorus girls
awhirl, filling the New York papers
pith tages about his exploits, an
causing all the bloods to sit up and
take notice, would have decided to
come to Jacksonville for a mluute's
rest, AMI yet here he is. Haze he
has ccme to- avoid for time the levy
o:Nfair ladies, both great AMI small,
who have been following his foot
steps and marking his every move
during the weeks and months Of the
summer just past and gone.
Simon David Paddock, The Second,
has registered at the Seminole hotel
where he has taken suite of rooms
and where he expects to remain, as
he says, just as. long as they leave
we alone"
Many people will no doubt remem-
Der the story of this young million
aire, who awoke one morning after
having retired the night before as
an ordinary chauffeur, to find himself
the possessor of a million and a half
dollars left him by his uncle, Simon
David Paddock, Sr.
The papers throughout the country
were filled with the accounts of the
lads good fortune at the time, but
soon they were filled with other
stories of his doings.
Young Paddock did not believe in
wrapping his roll up in napki mot
he. Let your light shine,' was his
motto, and it was not long before,
under glaring headlines, the New
York dailies commenced telling about
how this young nabob was i'eral1y
pouring his money into the streets of
the city.
The chorus girls, and everybody
knows there are thousands of them
in Gotham, decided it was not righ.
to let this United States mint lie
arom.d loose, and within few short
weeks Millionaire Paddock had such
a following as would have PIT to
shame the Sultan of Turkey in the
days of his prime.
On the q tn of August the New
York American made SUNDAY fea-
ture story of Paddack's sensational
carer. The paper came to Jackson
vile containing pi:.ure of the young
man jumping over champagne bottles
i'll vain attempts ID elude his many
cl a ming admirers. No one Tho snt
at that time that Jacksonville would
have an opportunity welcoming the
young man 70 this city, and yet here
he is, and here he expects to main
for several weeks to come.

ESCAPE FROM DEATH At
HANDS OF DRUNKEN NEGRO
WILL JONES SNAPS .ss AT HIM
BUT PISTOL HAD BEEN UN.
LOADED BY SOMEONE.

Jerre Wilchar, assistant chief OF
police, had d narrow escape from
death about o'clock this morning, at
the hands of drunken negro. Sam
Meyers, negro hackman had COM
planned few minutes earlier that
drunken niger" had tried to shoot
him, so Jerre went looking for the
bad niger"
He found him leaning against the
side of the Grand opera house and
accosted him with Are you the mig
ger who had the trouble with Sam
Meyers?"
No, sah," he answered
Yes, you are, said Jerrie as he
grabbed him. AS the assistant chief
reached for the negro he cached for
his gun and putting the barrel against
Mr.. Wilchers stomach pulled the trig-
ger. The weapon failed to explode
and the negro turned and ran, with
Jerrie after him. He called on him
to halt and then started firing, using
every shot in his pistol.
The negro ran down by the cal
barns and disappeared, but was finally
located in the basement of the Ogle
thorpe barber shop. He was put un-
der arrest and taken to the barracks
He has bad wound in the head, but
is not fatally hurt.
The only thing that saved Jerrie
Wilcher's life is the fact that someone
removed the cartridges from the gun
earlier in the evening, unknown to
him, His name is said to be Will
Jones, but he is unknown to the po-
lice.

OLD OAKS.

Some more of Brunswick's pretty
oak trees, in the business section OF
the city will have to be removed in

THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF
CITY REALIZE THE NEED
OF IMPROVEMENT.
MUSTIDEvELOP WITH GROWTH
Brunswick in Order to Compete With
Other Southern Cities Must Keep
Pace With Internal Improvements
as Growth of City Demands 1t.

The business interests of the city
realize the fact that IN order to COM
pete with other southern cities,
Brunswick must keep pace with in
ternal improvements as the growth
and expansion of the city demands
it.
A bond issue is meeting with gen
eral favor as that is the right way
-forany city or corporation, to obtain
revenue for development. Brunswick
is going ahead, there is a ''get-to-
gether" spirit being displayed at pres
ent that means great things for the
immediate future and in the enthuSi-
asm of the moment we must not lose
sight of the fact that individuals as
well as trade bodies and factories
looking for new locations are influ-
enced greatly by the sanitary con-
dition as well as the general improve
ment and appearance of a city.
Below will be found the opinion of
several more of our citizens relative
to bond issue:
Major C. Downing, head of the
Downing Naval Stores and Wholesale
Grocery Co.: believe in the develop
ment of the city, and revenue needed
for the extension of the paving, sew
erage system and other improve
ments should be secured by bond is
sue, but it should be clearly stipulated
beforehand for what improvements
the money was to be used.
]. P. Davenport, manager of G. S.
Baxter & Co.: | am in favor of a
bond issue for the internal improve
ment and development of the city,
but to assure the absolute carryrns
out of the will of the people and the
purpose of the bond issue, l should
strongly advocate the appointment of
a commission.
w. B. Cook of the Cook Tie Co.:
If this development and needed inter-
nal improvement is laid out and plans
made that will assure the carrying
out of the work, then l am heartily
in favor of bond issue.
c. S. Tate, manager Downing Com
pany, wholesale grocers: A city can't
progress while standing STILL" and
where development is needed the i'm
provements should be made. A bond
issue is the proper way to secure
revenue for these needs.
w. D. Bailey CT Wood Bailey Cloth
ing Co.: Brunswick is on the eve of
a new period of growth and expansion
and the city should most assuredly
keep up its internal improvements. !
am in favor of "a bond issue for that
reason as believe the appearance of
a city adds to its resources.

try.
Greece" said Mr.. Bisbikis, "has
been quietly preparing for war for
the past six weeks as the time has
come to break away from Turkish
rule which has for years been grad
ually extending and asserting itself" "
quite number of us, continued Mr..
Biskibis, "belong to the reserves and
are anxiously awaiting the word to
sail for home and get into the fight,

Dover, Oct. 4.-The British subma-
rine BIZ was run down by the Ham
burg American liner Amerika here
today. 1t sank at once, drowning
fourteen of the crew. The officer in
charge was rescued.
The disaster in which the B2 was
sunk occurred while the third patrol
flotilla of submarines was maneuVer-
ing off Kent.
The liner Amerika appears to have
cut the submarine completely in
halves.
Lieut.. Richard l. Pulleyne was the
only man among the crew of fifteen
who was saved. He was found float
ing in the sea, too exhausted to say
more when he was rescued than "The
submarine is cut in two. / went down
a mile
Nothing has been heard of the Am
erika up to the present. The BIZ had
left Dover harbor at 5 o'clock this
morning to participate with the other
submarines in a series of maneuvers.
The accident occurred just an hour
later, although none of the sister sub
marines knew anything about it until
Lieutenant Pulleyne was picked up
from the sea.
The liner Amerika stood by after
the collision and threw life buoys
overheard, while a number of torpedo
boats searched the sea for hours.
None of the other members of the
crew, however, were found.
The Amerika then proceeded on her
voyage to Southampton on her way
to New York.
This is the sixth disaster to British
submarines, each of them involving
the loss of from eleven to fifteen
lives.

Of her death and it makes it doubly

A Summary Of DeniaIs.

In these words Theodore RooseE cit
summarized his testimony to the SEN
ate committee investigating campaign
funds. The Colonel specifically denied
that he ever asked for contributions
to his 1904 campaign fund, or that he
had known Of any contribution by j.
P. Morgan. He declared he had or
dered the return to the Standard Oil
company of any contribution it might
have made in 1904; that he had been
assured by George B. Cortelyou "only
yesterday" that he knew of no such
contribution; and that he did not be-
lieve Cornelius N. Bliss had ever de-
manded contribution from John d.
Archbold or from any contribution by
any methods Of extortion.
Colonel Roosevelt did not deny that
corporations had contributed to the
1904 campaign. He says His letters
and published statements had always
acknowledged that fact, but he spe-
Cited that no such contributions had
ever been obtained under suggestion
that the administration would reward
the givers with special favors.
Some 5ristIing Statements.
The former presidents testimony
bristled with characteristic state
ments.
Senator Penrose should be driven
from the senate" he declared, "be-
cause of his acknowledged frienGIi-
ness with Standard Oil interests"
Charles D. Hilles and Congressman
Bartholdt should be forced to prove
their statements that the Roosevelt
primary funds this year had amount
ed to $3,O0O,OOO or $4,000,OOO, or
should be driven out of public life.
He declared, as had Senator Dixon,
his campaign manager, Wednesday
that the senate committees activities
had thus far been directed solely to-
ward the Roosevelt campaign funds,
and that no attention had been paid
to other candidates.
He was assured by Mr.. Clapp that
the representatives of other candi-
dates would be all called before elec-
tion." n
Entrance Was Cheered.
A murmur of applause eliminating
in cheer from gathered crowds had
greeted Colonel Roosevelt when he
entered the building.
He went to Senator Clapp's private
room and met members of the in
vestigating committee.
Colonel Roosevelt learned this morn
ing that Governor Hadley of Missou-
ri, had declared in favor Of President
Taft He would make no comment
upon the governors action.
The spectators applauded vigorous
ly as Colonel Roosevelt entered the
room, followed by secretary Juggling

BEST NEWS YET.

No, we don't say that all of Par
ker's troubles are over. There are
some things to be accomplished yet
before Parker valley becomes brim-
ming with milk and honey. But We
citizens of Parker do feel that we
have cause to rejoice now the the
Carey act has passed and the great
est obstacle to Parkers progress has
been overcome. 1t has been a long
wait for some of us, and a tireSome
one, but the opening is now in sight.
In three months the brennan land
bill will become effective. There is
much to do yet before the land is
opened but the rest is going to be
easy. 1t is up to Parker's citizens
now to see that the Arizona repres-
entatives in congress and the new
state land board get busy with their
part of the program, that is, i'm push
ing through the remaining details for
the opening of the Parker valley.
