From the same office Is issued
THE LAKELAND NEWS
FOR CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE.

This paper confesscs TO lack of
enthusiasm as concerns the race for
the position of congressman at large.
As has been plainly indicated, it
vastly preferred one of the eliminat-
ed candidates to either of these now
offering in the second primary. AS
q choice must be made between the
two, however, it appears to us that,
measured by their respective quail
ficatiOns and characteristics, the
people might expect better service
from Toomer than from L'Engle.
TOomer is a substantial man; a
business man; a man who will fill the
Office of congressman with some dig.
nifty and discretion, and with some
credit to the State. LEngle, on the
other hand, would not be taken Sc
riously in Congress. He would be
looked upon and treated as a joke
and the joke would be sorry one SO
far as its victim was concerned-its
victim being the people of the State
of Florida.
We take little stock in the charges
and countercharges that have been
made concerning these two candi-
dates. We are rather inclined to be-
lieve that both of the candidates are
pretty decent fellows, while both, like
the rest Of us erring mortals. perhaps
have been guilty of things they have
no reason to be proud of. Very few
men Of sufficiently mature age TO as
pire to be congressman are "spotless
and undefiled." COnceding to each
equal status SO far as personal char
acter is concerned, the question re-
solves itself into mere matter OF
ability, and qualifications for the
position sought The balance of ii is
all bOsh and buncOmbc, intended to
deceive those unsophsticatcd enough
to believe all the stories one candi-
date tells on another, and to take So
riOusly the protesta,ions of love for
the dear "pecpul with which can
didates love to carnish their appeals
for votes.
Applying the test indicated we
have: W, NJ Toomer, successful man
oil affairs, professional man of ac-
knowlcdgcd ability, a man who has
accomplished something, who would
take to Congress a well-traincd bust
ness and legal mind, and who would
be recognized by fellow members as
man capable of dealing with the
serious concerns of life and legisla-
ton in a direct and intelligent way.

decide which Of these two men are
best fitted for service to the people of

CATS NINE LIVES
ARE SPARED. UNTIL
JOHNSON RETURNS
Order for Destruction of
Felines Not Put Into
Effect.

No action, It was announced today,
will be taken by the Commissioners
toward resembling the order for the
impoundment and destruction Of cats
until the return from Chicago Of Com
missioner Johnston, upon whose recon-
mendation the ordinance was adopted.
Commissioner Johnston Is expected to
arrive In Washington the first OF next
week In the meantime. II may be au-
thoritatively stated, the feline popula-
tioon of Washington is in little danger
as far as the pound service is con-
cerned. The regulation went into effect
last Thursday. Since that date not one
cat has been impounded.
Poundmaster Kuhn acknowledges
that he is confronted with a well-nigh
impossible task. Lacking in wagons
and equipment, the pound service, he
said today. Is without means of en-
forcing the ordinance.
Protest against the order was received
by the Commissioners today from the
Washington Cat Club. OF which Mrs.
Henry L. West is president. The club
requests that the order be rescinded
and that the Commissioners include in
their next estimates to Congress an
Item for the collection Of sick and in
jured cats as well as felines which the
owners desire to be rid Of

WOMAN AVIATOR IS
KILLED In ILLINOIS
Mrs. Clark's Biplane Hits Tree
and Crashes to the
Ground.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 1S.-Mrs.
Julia Clark. the third woman in AM
erica to obtain license az an aeroplane
pilot. was killed here yesterday in the
wreck of her biplane.
She is the first woman in America to
be killed while flying and the second
woman in the world to meet death
while driving an aeroplane. Apparent
u her death was due to inexpcrience in
handling air craft. From all accounts 1t
seems to have been avoidable.
In the face of advice to the contrary
she went up when it was almost dark
and attempted a short turn. Her craft
caught in the trees near the field and
was upset, dashing the woman to the
ground under the wreckage. Her skull
was crushed. She died in the ambu-
lance that was rushing her to the hos
Ipital.
Mrs. Clark was twenty-three years
patton of an accident she asked that her
body be sent to Denver for cremation
She had been interested in aeroplanes
ever since she heard that Miss Quimby
was flying at Mineola last year. For
the last two years she saved the money
she earned as a stenographer in Den
yer and determined to become an aero
plane pilot.
Early In January sne turned up at the
Curtiss aviation school In San Diego
and asked Instructor McClaskey to lei
her join the school. Curtss is siren
uously averse to women aviators anC
told McClaskey to refuse. But Mrs
Clark nersisted and through the friend
ship of Mrs. Curtiss, managed to over
come Curtiss's objections, and on MAJ
10, she took her license and few at ar
altitude of more than 1000 feet. Later
