With the advantages here offered
at such low cost to the boy, and with
the delightful winter climate of Flor
ida, permitting outdoor recreations
the year around, an advantage which
the institutions of the more northern
states do not possess, it would seem
that the Florida boy has but little, if
any excuse for leaving the state for
a college education.

theory Of a single tax on land may be
given its first trial in the District OF
Columbia. The first step that will be
taken in this experiment will proba-
bly, be TO ask Congress TO authorize

The presidents interests in this
subject have been made apparent

principal cause of the New FORK,
New Haven and Hartford wreck at
stamford, Conn, on June II in
which six passengers were killed and
twenty injured. The Interstate Com
merce Commission report Of its in
vestigation OF the accident made pub
lie yesterday, so holds and adds that
the responsibility for placing an in
experienced and uninstTucted' en-
glneman in charge of a high speed
passenger train rests with The opera,-
ing offices of the railroad.
The engine brakes, tests seem to
indicate, were good; 1ne train
brakes nO1 as efficient as safety de-
manded in such fast train but the
home and distant signals at Stam-
ford were held to be too close to-
.gether. DOugheTtys ineXperience
and lack Of instruction, the commits
sion holds, were responsible for the
failure to apply the brakes in time
to stop the train before the danger
signal set against him.
The general conclusion written by
Commissioner McCOrd include The

Washington, July 12.-Mrs. H. w
j. Ham was confirmed yesterday aft
ernoon as rostmistress at Gainesville.
Ca. according to the agreement made
on the condition that Mrs. Helen D.
Longsueet be cleared of the imputa-
ton that her Office was improperly
managed while she was postmistress.
Immediately after Mrs. Ham was
confirmed Congressman Thomas Bell
issued a statement relating how his
recommendation of H. B. Hardy was
turned down by the powers that be
ana Mrs. Ham substituted.
Mr. Bells statement charges that
there is a secret influence which
seems to initiate against Underwood
men who desire positions under the.
new administration. 1t points out
that the only charge against Hardy is
that he opposed Wilson during the
pre-cOnvention campaign. though
Hardy did more than any other one
man to redeem the ninth district from
the republicans and raised a good
sum for the democratic campaign
through his newspaper.
Mr.. Bell says the supporters of
Wilson and Hoke Smith whom he rec,
commended for postOffices had trou-
bic in being appointed and confirmed
while the other two Underwood men
he named were held up.

Or. LANOx is FOUND GUILTY
THREE TO FIVE YEARS IN PRISON
FOR KILLING WOMAN.
Jury Required Only Five Minutes to
Convict Kansas City Man
of Manslaughter.

Kansas City, Kan, Feb. Sin ex-
actly five minutes jury in the Wyan-
dotte county district court added the
final chapter to the notorious career
in Kansas City of ]. M. Martin, known
as DR.. F. w. Lanoix. In that brief
space of time twelve men reached
verdict finding the doctor masque-
raider guilty of nianslaughter in the
second degree. Only one ballot was
necessary. The legal verbiage of the
verdict meant that the pseudo doctor
was guilty of killing Mrs. Florence
May Crowley, bride of few days,
through a criminal operation. The
penalty for that crime is three to
five years in the penitentiary. Mrs.
Crowley died November 6, nine days
after she had been operated on.
'Lanoix's" trial lasted three days.
The state proved the doctor" did
operate on Mrs. Crowley and she died
from that operation. The defense Of
fered no evidence except court rec
ords to show that two Of the states
witnesses had been under arrest as
accomplices in the same action, and
that it has been unable to get tran
script of the evidence taken at the
[ coroner's inquest. In their arguments
! to the jury 'LanoiX's" lawyers spent
practically all of the time urging that
the states witnesses might not have
told the truth and that a reason
able doubt" as to their clients guilt
should exist.
While James NJ. Meek, county at
torney, was closing the argument for
the state in the afternoon 'LanoiX'
exhibited little concern. He had
chewed a cigar constantly during the
trial, but that did not seem to be due
| to nervousness occasioned by anything
| that TRANSFERRED in the courtroom. ON
the contrary, he appeared calm and
| Indifferent.

OIL AND GAS FOUND
NEAR KANSAS CITY
Fields on Three Sides Of City to
be Developed.
THAT SECTION NOW "pROSPECT"
Kansas City Has Recently Been Visit
ed by Many Leading Operators
Of the country-Rush to
Secure Leases.

Kansas City, Feb. 6.-With the
knowledge of less than 100 of her
citizens, Kansas City has suddenly be-
come the focus of the eyes of the gas
and oil world. There is a stringent
shortage of both products. and the
prospectors, who move from field to
field, have guessed that the supply
will come from fields lying on three
sides of Kansas City.
During the last two weeks, repre-
sentatives of more than score OF
oil operators, individuals, companies
and corporations, have been sent here
to make leases. They have worked
with much secrecy and beyond few
operators who live here and the men
who have given the leases, none has
known of their presence. Daily re-
ports of the progress of wells that are
being drilled in Johnson county, Kan
sas, have been sent to Indiana, Penn
sylvania, Oklahoma and Texas. So
important has the quiet struggle for
leases become that a week ago heads
Of operating concerns and a number
OF the largest operators In the coun-
try came to Kansas City to look over
the situation for themselves. They
took every precaution to keep their
presence from being known and most
of them left the city without having
been recognized except by personal
acquaintance One operator esti-
mated that on one day last week OPP
orators representing $3O,OOO,O0O were
in town.
These men have returned to their
homes, but have left their interests
in hands of representatives. Pitts
burgh is largely interested in leases
as are Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas

An INQUIRY into
HIGH PRICE OF OIL
Government Wants to Know What
Prompted the Raise.
TEXAS WARRANTS IN NEW YORK
Writs for Arrest of Archbold, Folger
and TeagIe Are Again Held Up
by the Attorney
General.

Washington, Feb. THE soaring
price of crude oil is being investi-
gated by the department of justice in
connection with its inquiry to deter
mine whether the decree dissolving
the Standard Oil Company has been
violated. The government wants to
know whether any of the former sub
salaries of the trust have created
conditions responsible for the enor-
nous rise, and whether there has
been any concerted action. Informa-
ton in possession of the department
alleges that some of the big COM
panies have years supply of crude
oil in their tanks, and the present
high price does not affect them, but
Is a burden upon smaller concerns.
The entire oil investigation, in all
probability, will be completed before
the end of February, and a report
submitted to Attorney General Wick
ersham by Charles B. Morrison and
Oliver f. Pagan, the attorneys in i'm
mediate charge of the inquiry. Mr..
Morrison conferred with the attorney
general late in the day.
The second warrants issued by
United States District Judge Meek of
Dallas, Tex, for the arrest of John d.
Archbold, H. c. Folger, Jr., and w.
c. Teagle of the Standard Oil, for the
alleged criminal violation of the Sher-
man act, are believed to have reached
New York by this time. The fact
that they have not been served Is
said to indicate that the attorney gen.
eral has directed that they, like the
original warrants, be withheld until
he is satisfied that the government
has sufficient evidence to sustain a
case in Texas.
Representative Gamers resolution
calling upon Attorney General Wick
| ersham for all information as to the
Texas indictments against Standard
Oil officials, was favorably reported
by the house judiciary committee.
The resolution asks for all briefs OF
evidence, documents and written
opinions on file in the department OF
justice in relation to the prosecution
of c. N. Payne, John d. Archbold
Henry c. Folger, w. c. Teagle, A. G.

eral directing the United States mar
