TRAGEDY At AVAY
LOnnie Rewis' Attentions to Grace
Pearce Caused His Death mt the
Hands of a Party Unknown

According to advices reaching the
city yesterday, Lonnie Rewis, a young
married man, was shot and killed at
the school house at Fivay Junction at
8 o'clock Friday night when he went
to keep an alleged appointment with
Grace Pearce, seventeen-yearo old
girl, with whom he was arrested a
short time ago at a hotel in Lakeland.
A coroner's inquest was held but fail
ed to show who did the shooting. The
girl claims she was home with her
father and one brother and that the
other two brothers are accounted for.
Rewis and the girl are alleged to
have taken an auto ride together in
Tampa on July 4, the girl breaking an
engagement with another man to meet
him. The girls mother who was also
in the city, accompanied her home on
the train and kept her daughter from
talking to Rewis. Later when Rewis
called to explain something about the
Lakeland episode, Mrs. Pearce pointed
a pistol at him and ordered him out

Rewis is charged with adultery in
connection with the pearce girl. The
case was still pending at the time of

T|M|D APPROVAL Of TAFT.
President Signed Panama Canal Bill
But Hfnted Way for n Possible
BaekdOwn

Washington. Aug 25.-President
Taft signed the Panama canal bill at
7:10 last night. following which he
sent TO Congress a memorandum sug-
gesting the advisability of the passage
of a resolution which would declare
that this measure was not considered
by this government violation of the
treaty provisions regarding the canal
In discussing the British protest
Mr.. Taft says the irresistible conclu-
sion to be drawn from it is that "al-
though the United States owns, con-
trolls and has paid for the canal, it is
restricted by treaty from aiding it's
own commerce in the way that all the
other nations of the world may freely
do
I'm view of this fact" Mr.. Taft con-
tinues, that the Panama canal is be-
ing constructed by the United States
wholly at its own cost upon territory
ceded to it by the Republic of Panama
for that purpose and that unless it
enjoys absolute rights of ownership
and control including the use of the
canal upon such terms as it sees fit.
The sole question is:
Has the United States (by the
terms of the ay-Pauncefote treaty.
to pass its own commerce free or to
remit tolls collected for the use of
the canal?"

FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT

Washington, Aug. 25.-Speaker
Champ Clark yesterday delivering the
of the democratic House of
the Sixty-second Congress, asserted
that historians would declare with
absolute truth that the House demo-
crats of the Sixty-first and Sixty-sec-
Ond Congresses did great things" and
have made sweeping democratic
victory approximately certain, a vic
tory that will give us the House. the

Dramatically addressing his col
leagues the speaker In tribute to the
leaders OF both parties. declared that
no majority was ever more success
fully led than by Representative I'm
derwood nor any minority ever led
more ably than by Representative
Mann.

tested with Leader Underwood every

he lives up fully to his name. He is
in very truth a man. Were it not for
him l would feel decidedly lonesome

Speaker Clark said: "The democrats
have fought and won like veterans,
mustered their full strength on every
important proposition and passed two
great tariff bills over the presidents
veto, the first instance of the kind in
the history of the republic. They had
fought a good fight and kept the
faith"
The speaker expressed thanks. and
the gratitude of the country to "the
brave and patriotic republicans who
cooperated with us in passing good
bills"
what the democratic House accom-
plished, so far as 1t could for the
amelioration of conditions" said he,
"thwarted as it has been by a repub-
| Ilican president, is only an earnest of
what we will do when we come into
| full possession of the three branches
of government. President Taft vetoed
most of our bills of a remedial char
lacter, a prerogative unwisely exer-
Icised. He made his record; we made
ours. On these records we appeal to
