Wants to Lower Rates.
Efforts to equalize ocean freight
rates, among Mobile, Pensacola and
New Orleans, are being made by the
freight bureau of the chamber of COM
MERGE, under the direction Of Traffic
Mana ger R. G. Cobb. A letter to Mr..
w. p. Lewis, general freight agent of
the Mallory Steamship Company, call
ing attention to alleged discriminati ton
in favor of New Orleans, brought a re-
ply, in which it was stated that 'if the
rates are not the same now, they prob
ably will be in short time"
Mr.. Cobb, taking this to mean that
the New Orleans rates are to be
raised, Tuesday afternoon wrote to
Board of Trade, and advised him Of
rates at New Orleans be kept SO that
Mobile rates might be equaHzed by
lowering and not raising.
Pensacola enjoys even better rates
than New Orleans, according to Mr..
Cobb, and a letter to the business or
ganization there requested that efforts
be made to retain the present rates.
Mr.. Cobb says the idea is to give the
three cities equal rates without any
increase.
Water and rail rates from New York
to gulf ports will be taken UP at the
meeting of the Southeastern Freight
Association this month, in Hot Springs,
Mr.. Cobb said. He said he thought
New Orleans would oppose any in
crease of rates there without a corre-
spending increase at Pensacola, and it
is believed the Louisville & Nashville
would aid Pensacola in maintaining
the present rates.

It DIDN'T WORK
RUMORS THAT HAVE LEAKED
OUT GIVE AN INTERESTING IN
SIDE ACCOUNT OF HOW "GET-
TING-THE-GoAT," ATTEMPT DID
NOT FULLY MATERIALlZE.
BY FRANK L. HUFF AkER.

Tallahassee May S.-Senator John
P. Wall, of Putnam, has been chew
ing the rag" for several days, and
there are some who predict that he
will hardly get over the cause of his
discomfort during the session, if ever.
It seems that the Putnam senator,
who has had several terms in the
house, and has come to view himself
as a statesman of the first order,
entered into a conspiracy with Rep
resentative Middleton, of Putnam, to
get the goat" Of Pastor Bill Rus
sell, of Palatka. But the Wall scheme
| didn't work. On the contrary, it end
ed in Pastor Bill" getting the Wall
goat"
From rumors that have leaked out
it seems that the differences arose
over the Florahome drainage district
which involves about 1900 acres of
muck land in Putnam county, and on
which subject Senator Wall and
Pastor BilP' are decidedly at varI-
ance. A drainage law was enacted IN
1911, the Putnam delegation at that
time being united in behalf of the
work OF reclamation. Senator Wall.
who owns considerable land in the
drainage district, was determined to
have the law Of 1911 repealed in en-
tirety, and passed repeating bill
through the senate. I'll COuLEo, Inc
fact that he was a large landowner
in the affected district was not widely
published when the bill was on its way
through the upper house. The senator
gave it out that he wanted to 'save
from ruin" some of his constituents,
"who could not bear the drainage tax
Pastor Bill" however, had separate
petitions from about ninety-nin per
cent of these property owners, de-
handing that the drainage law not be
repealed. Wallis bill passed the sem
ate because it happened to be a local
measure, and senatorial courtesy"
ruled However, 1t went up against
the rocks in the house, the commit
tee on drainage reporting unanimous
ly against it. Senator Wall is said to
have grown so furious that he declared
he would never shake hands with
Pastor BIZ again, which was
hard on Pastor Bill" Representative
Middleton also sided with Senator
Wall but Russell opposed, producing
black and white evidence from the
voters and the Palatka Board of Trade.
The committee decided in favor of
Pastor Bill. as above stated, and
Senator Wall got wrathy and stayed
wrathy. However, it is a cinch that
his bill will never get through. and
a compromise measure alone will pass

MUST EXCLUDE
BENzOATE SODA
COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC HEALTH
REPORTED TO STAND UNANI-
MOUSLY AND UNQUALIFlEDLY
IN FAVOR OF DR.. WlLEYS DE-
MANp.
BY FRANK L. HUFFAkER.

ITALIA hassee, May S.--With reference
to the pure food bills now before both
senate and house, the senate commit
tee on public health stands unani-
r.iously and unqualifiedly in favor OF
the exclusion of benzoate of soda,
which was demanded by DR.. Harvey
Wiley former chief chemist Of the
United States, who was the victim of
a bitter fight on account of his cham
pionship of the peoples rights, and
against the rulings Of the Remsen
board, led by the sweet scented George
McCabe solicitor of the agricultural
department under Commissioner "Tama
Jim Wilson. The attitude of the
committee on this question will I'M
doubleday meet with favor from the
public.
Neither the bill drawn by State
Chemist Rose or Commissioner of Ag-
riculture McRae cover this important
point, each allowing the use of ben
zoate of soda, which the committee
opposes" said Senator Fred Hudson,
a member of the committee.
Other differences between the two
bills, it is said, merely relate to the
duties of Commissioner McRae and
Chemist Rose.
1t is expected that the legislature
will uphold the committee with ref
erence to benZoate of soda, although
the benzoate lobby has been working
hard against its exclusion since the
session began.
