Mr.. j. T. YONcE MAKES BIG DEAL
AT ST. PETERSBURG

Following close upon the heels of
the sensational sale of the corner lot
on Fifth street and Central avenue,
equally sensational is the announce
ment that came yesterday of the deal
whereby Mrs. May Purneli, one of
the proprietors of the Floronton Ho-
tel, has purchased the home and prop
erty of Mr.. J. T. Yonce, the city tax
assessor, on the corner of Sixth street
and central avenue, for a considera-
ton of $4,000 in cash money Mrs.
Sadie E. Key & Son handled the
transaction.
The property lies on the southwest
corner of the intersection of these
streets, and has frontage on Central
avenue of eighty feet, extending back
to the alley, a distance of one hun
dred feet, and is considered one of
the choicest corners on the main
thoroughfare.
Mr.. Yonce bought this site in 1896
for the small sum of S400, and a few
years later built the home which now
stands on this property. Yesterday
is the first time that the property has
changed hands since it's purchase six
teen years ago by Mr.. Yonce. Mr..
Yonce will still occupy his old home
until he decides upon the purchase
of another location, upon which to
build.-St. Petersburg News.
Mr.. Yonce is the father of Mrs. r.

DEAN SPENCER AND TIE INDIAN
COMMISSION

Dean Spencer is much interested in
his work among the Seminole Indians.
and is doing everything in his power
to give them the needed physical and
spiritual aid.
About two weeks ago he returned
from Washington, where he went to
petition for an appropriation for the
Seminoles.
Though very, ill while in Washing
ton, Dean Spencer managed to get an
Interview with the Indian commits
sion, and to make a verbal plea for
MS wards, as well as to lay the writ
ten petition before them. Through a
severe attack of pleurisy the dean
was rendered unable to do much
physical work for the advancement of
his cause, but he took every chance to
make his plea in words, and with
such telling effect that Senator
Fletcher has notified him that the Pc
tltlon has been accepted and passed
by the commission, and is now before
congress and the senate, for action
OF their appropriation committee
This work among the Seminoles is
one that can not be too earnestly
commended, for there has been very
little done for them by the govern
ment, and the progress they have
made toward civilized citizenship and
Christianity hiss been from outside,
and no governmental aid
The United States has little cause
for pride in her treatment of these
original owners of all our broad lands,
and the sooner the improvement is
made in the Indian conditions the bet
ter for our escutcheons.-Orl Re-

A FLORIDA MAN INDICTED IN
CHICAGO

A late special from Chicago says
that Solomon B. Aultman of Florida
was indicted there recently on a
charge of larceny as bailee. The
complainant was Miss Elizabeth Bick-
erdike, daughter of the late Joseph
Bickerdike, a pioneer settler of Chi
cago. Miss Bickerdike complained
that she was defrauded of property
valued at $15O,00O, which she inner
tied from her father.
Miss Bickerdike said she became
acquainted with Aultman when she
went to Florida for her health. She
alleged that while convalescing at
his home he became her adviser, and
that she turned over all her real es-
tate holdings to him.
'The story told by Miss Bickerdike
is remarkable one," said Mr.. Ar
mold, her attorney. ut is not the re-
suit of a love affair or anything of
that sort, as the man mas a large fam
lily. When Miss Bickerdike went to
Florida she was in poor health. be-
lieve the man obtained hypnotic in
fiuence over her."
Aultman's indictment was based on
a transaction in Chicago last July,
when, it is alleged, he appropriated
to- his own use a note for $4,000,
part payment for the sale of some OF
Miss Bickerdike's property. The 9th.
er alleged swindles were accomplish
ed, it is set forth, in Florida.

BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT

Florida East Coast railway trains
are now being operated entirely by
telephone dispatching.
Announcement was made in the
Evening Record several months ago
that the telephone system of train
dispatching was to be inaugurated up
on the Florida East Coast railway,
and since that time the placing of
the telephone wires and equipment
has gone steadily on. The dispatch
ers. offices on each division are now
in touch with every part OF the re-
spective divisions by phone.
Under the system now in use the
telegraph wires are used only for the
transmitting of regular business of
the company, the telephone lines be-
ing held clear for the use of the dis
patchers.
The wires and equipment are now
in place as far south as the beginning
of the extension, and are being strung
on down towards Key West, the Is
land City being the goal. The entire
system will then be equipped with
this most modern dispatching facil-
ity.
Every effort is constantly being
made to make the service second to
none and the installation of the tele-
phone for use in the train dispatching
is one of the latest moves. Thus far
II has worked most admirably.-St
Augustine Record.

/ the Boosted Free Text Books?
FELLOW VOTERS, have you eve
set big interrogation mark in front
of the record of any of your servant:
who are boasting of their past accom-.
plishments? Try it once. Public rec
ords are easy to get hold of, and you
do not have to take the other fellows
word for it unless you want tc.
The exponent of free text books has
been telling you of the marvellous
beauties of that system of spreading
disease germs in fernando county.
There are some records or fernando
county in the last biennial report of
the state superintendent which are
not altogether fiattering-others are
better
The percentage of enrolment (75)
is good the average for the state be-
ing but II. The percentage of at
tendance is less, it being out 6S, as
against 20 per cent. for the state.

port of. state superintendent for two

This free text book county has the
unenviable distinction of paying the
lowest salary to teacher reported
from the state-$12.50 per month in
1909-1910, and $40 per month the
year previous. The average monthly
salary paid in the state is $52.16. The
average for fernando county is
$47.60, or $4.56 less than the state av-
erage. See pages 452 and 453.
Mr.. Russell has been telling us how
cheap free text books are to the tax
payers. That something connected
with the school system in his county
is costing them something, is shown
by the figures of his county with
those of the whole state. Turn to
pages ATS and 476 of above named re-
port and we find that the cost of
public schools per capita of total pop
ulation is 1882 for the state, and $5.1S
for fernando county. The cost per
pupil in daily attendance for the
state is $19S5; for fernando county
this cost is $39.14-nearly double the
average for the state. That expensive
buildings have not run up this i'm
mense cost of $685. per pupil, is
shown by referring to the next page
of the report, where the number and
character of the public school build
ings of each county are listed. Her
nando has forty-five school buildings,
twenty-five of which are BUILT OF
LOGS. Just think of it-49 per cent.
of the school buildings in that county
are of logs. The percentage of log
school houses of the state is ten.
fernando has but one brick school
building.
fernando, the home of Candidate
Russell, the county he has set up as
a model for the state, is the home
of the poorest paid teacher in the
state, and the home of log school
houses.
These figures are all taken from
the official reports of the state and
county superintendent. That they
are not favorable to Mr.. Russelrs
county, is no fault of the editor of
this paper. The Leader did not make
the figures-it is only recording
them-l From the Fort Meade Lead
er, March IA, 1929
