Bridge Booster May
Run for Congress
jacksonville Parties Determined to
Steel Span Over St. Johns
River.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 11.-Advo-
Gates of the proposed bridge over the
st. Johns River to connect this city
and South Jacksonville are much dis
gruntled by the unfavorable report
made by the War Department.
State Representative st. Elmo W.
Acosta, who made the fight for the
bridge in the Legislature, is still de-
termined to secure the span, and some
of his friends are urging him to make
the race for Congress, either in this
district or from the State at large.
In discussing his possible candida
cy, Mr.. Acosta said:
"If I should run. the bridge would
be one of my main issues, and would
also make a fight against the Florida
East Coast Railway because OF the
exorbitant freight and passenger rates
imposed by that corporation, to say
nothing of its attitude against the
opening of ports along the east coast
of Florida

CORPORATIONS
TRYING HARD To
DEFEAT [ ENGLE
St. Elmo Acosta, Now State Leg
isIator, Likely to Get in
Race for Congress.

JACKSONVILLE. Oct. 11.-Any-
thing to beat Claude L'Engle, who
now is representing Florida at Wash
ington as a Congressman-at-lar
appears to be the sentiment of the
railroads and other special interests
in Jacksonville and throughout the
State, but, judging from present indi-
cations, DEngle Is unbeatable.
Elected on a progressive wave that
swept over the ramparts OF special
privilege and drowned out reactionary
candidates, Mr.. L'Engle had the mis-
fortune to be i'll for many months fol-
lowing his election and consequently
was unable to accomplish much in
Washington.
Nobody recognizes this fact more
than LEngle himself, but he desires
to go back for a second term and &C
complish some of the things expected
of him by his constituency.
st. Elmo w. Acosta, at present a
Representative in the State Legisla-
ture from Duval County, is the latest
candidate to be mentioned for Con-
gress. 1t is only a short time since
Acosta was City Councilman. He
grew ambitious to be Mayor of Jack
sonville and threw his hat in the ring,
but failed.
But, being popular, even in defeat
Acosta brushed the dust from his
clothes, and at the next State election
announced himself a candidate for
the lower branch of the Legislature
He won.
He promised his supporters to work
for a bridge across the st. Johns
River, connecting this city with South
Jacksonville, and he has worked in
season and out of season to make
good the promises. A few days ago
however, an unsympathetic body OF
| engineers and officials of the War
Department at Washington rendered
an adverse decision relative to a lift
bridge and Acosta, who never knows
when he is beaten, declared that he
would fight on.
It has been announced here that the
army board at Washington will
grant a rehearing on the bridge pro-
| ject and Acosta may still win out.
Acosta has stated that if he de-
cided to run for Congress he would
make a fight against the Florida East
| Coast Railway, which has opposed the
bridge project, alleging exorbitant
! freight and passenger rates are i'm
| posed by that corporation.

Eccentric Newspaper
Writer Dies a Pauper
Former Pensacola Editor StarVes to
Death In Connecticut, After
Seeking 23s Jobs.

PENSACOLA, Oct. 11.-News has
been received here OF the death in
Norwich, Conn, of billiard Bruce,
formerly editorial writer of the PEN
sacola Journal and connected with
various other Southern papers. Ac-
cording to report, Bruce almost liter
ally starved to death. His mother
refused to allow newspaper men OF
the city in which he died to place
flowers on his grave. saying they
would not help him while alive and
could indulge in no mockery over
his grave. He was buried at the ex-
pense of the city.
Bruce was one of the most eccen-
trio characters In the newspaper bust
ness. In an obituary, written by
hims elf, for release after death, Bruce
said in the last few years he had APP
piled, without success, for 23S posi-
tions.
Bruce voluntarily left the Pensacola
Journal some years ago, giving as
reason that he was drawing too much
money and his conscience would not
allow him to retain the position as he
did not feel that he was earning his
salary Although working for daily
papers more than 20 years, Bruce
never used typewriter, but wrote
editorials, news stories, etc, with
pencil

Florida Teachers to
Stand Rigid Tests
State and County School Boards De-
termined to Raise Standard
Of Education.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 11.-Fear OF
failure in the State examinations on
October 20 is causing Duval County
teachers who do not hold certificates
considerable uneasiness.
J. O. Palmer, the County Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. has no
tilted the teachers who do not hold
certificates that they must pass the
examinations or they can not teach
this year.
State Superintendent Sheats has
notified all the county school boards
that these examinations are compul-
sorry. The local as well as the other
county boards are having difficulty in
finding even the extra teachers that
are needed in many instances.
Despite the demand. however, the
school officials of the State are deter
mined to eliminate the unframed
teachers and thus improve the schools
which have not been up to the stand
ard.

REDUCTION Of J.
REFRIGERATION
RATES LIKELY.
Florida Fruit Growers AIIege Dis
elimination in Favor Of Cali
fornia Shippers.

TALLAHASSEE, Oct. 1.-THE
Florida Railroad Commissioners have
received complaints from orange
growers and shippers alleging unrea-
sonable rates for refrigeration They
claim discrimination in favor OF Cali
fornia.
Until the last year there have been
but very few oranges shipped to the
Northern and Eastern markets from
Florida under refrigeration. but the
last shipping season was unusually
warm, and 1t was found by the ship
pers that refrigeration was necessary.
The Railroad Commissioners have
taken up the matter with the refrig
orator lines with the view Of obtein-
ing a reduction, and the following let
ter from the Atlanta representative
OF the Fruit Growers Express to
Commissioner Dunn will be of inter
est to the citrus fruit growers:
In further reference to your let
ter in regard to refrigeration charges
on oranges from Florida points, beg
to advise that conference was held In
New York between the railroads in
terested and representatives of the
car lines, to consider this subject, and
as a result we feel sure the railroads
will have something favorable to re-
port in this connection"

Florida Woman Dies
At Age Of ITO; Used
Tobacco Who'll eLife
Mrs. Mary Ann Jones Leaves Three
Children, the Oldest of
Whom is 81.

PENSACOLA, Oct. 1.-THE re-
markable story of Mrs Mary Ann
Jones, who died at Hosford, Liberty
County, a few days ago. was verified
by an investigation. Mrs. Jones was
ITO years old when she died, having
been born in Charleston, s. c., Au-
gust 20. 1908. She lived in Liberty
County so years.
She was a favorite among the peo-
pie of the county and enjoyed talk
eng of the days before the war and of
Abraham Lincoln. She was an in
veterate user of tobacco since she
was ten years of age.
She is survived by three children,
John Maximtligan Jones' who lives
near Ashford Ala, and is about 80
years old; Mrs Susanna Granger, re-
siding near Ashford, VINO is in the
neighborhood of 80 years old, and
Mrs. Tobitha Sears, who lives within
two miles of HoSford and Just passed
her ninety first birthday.
Mrs. Sears has been married four
times, all of her husbands having
died. She is said to be as active as
she was 80 years ago. She has five
living children, the oldest being more
than 20 years of age. She also used
tobacco, and. judging from her pres
ent appearance, may live longer than
her mother did.
The chief physician of the Graves
Lumber Company at Hosford says
Mrs. Jones is the most remarkable
case of longevity he has heard of in
his experience. It was the only time
he ever attended patient 10 years
old, with nurs 81 years of age, he

SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE
NOT PROBABLE
Governor TrammeII Not Disposed
to Call Florida Assembly to
Revise Redistricting Law.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Oct. 1l.-Gov-
ernor Park Trammell will not call an
extra session Of the Florida Legisla-
ture to remedy the alleged defects in
the Congressional redistrioting law,
unless he is given much stronger and
better reasons than he has yet re-
oeived. Sentiment in the State is
VERY strongly against an extra ses-
sion, for Florida people think the
regular ones every two years are suf-
ficient.
1t has been pointed out that while
the new law is not in effect until the
terms of the present Congressman ex-
pire in March, 1915, neither are the
men chosen in the primaries of next
June to take their seats until the
terms of the incumbents expire.
The Senatorial situation remains
unchanged, with Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher, Governor Albert w. Gill
christ and John n. c. Stockton in the
race. There has been a tendency Ia
bring in Fred NJ. Hudson. former
State Senator from Dade County and
now an attorney for the State Rail
road Commission, but il may be
stated definitely that Mr.. Hudson will
not be a candidate.

Interest Keen in

Public Sentiment Now Veers to the
Criticized Commissioners After
Bitter Attacks.

JACKSONVILLE. Oct. 11.-Now
that Benjamin S. Catlett has kept
his promise to the County Commits
sioners by the return of 81. 900 earnest
money paid to him to bind the pur-
chase OF LOG "a acres of land for
$4,000, to be used as a poor farm,
much of the steam is expected to be
taken out of the probe of county
finances and expenditures by State
Auditor Amos
1t is generally conceded that the
records of the board members show
an extravaganza in the use of county
funds, to say the least but articles
which were published hurt the Com
missioners when there was no need
for criticism has caused public senti-
ment to veer around and the Com
missioners, whatever their sins OF
omission or commission, are not re-
garded as quite the Williams they were
a few weeks ago
There is much speculation here as
to what Mr.. Amos will dig up during
his investigation

Florida Rail Head
Predicts Good Times
Speculation Rife in Jacksonville Over

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 11.-There is
much speculation in railroad circles
here as to the character of improve
ments which are contemplated by the
Seaboard Air Line Railway to its Bay
street properties.
Charles r. Caps. vice president and
general manager of the road, who was
here recently, announced that i'm
provement plans We're well under way
but that the officials were not yet
ready to announce them.
From all reports received by the
road, Mr.. Caps believes the coming
season will be one of the greatest
Florida has ever enjoyed and he be-
lieves that the growth attained this
coming winter will be small in COM
parison to what is coming every year
from now on.

FLORIDA LIQUOR
MEN REFUSING
TOPAY LICENSE
Fight Over Excise Law May Result
in Abolition of slim Grow"
Bars.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. flowing
10 a misunderstanding as to the ex-
act meaning of the new law for the
taxing of saloons, passed at the last
session of the Legislature, liquor
dealers here and throughout the State
are refusing to settle with the county
tax collector.
Section 81 of the license laws of
Florida provides that:
Dealers in spurious, vinous OF
malt liquors shall pay a license tax
of 81, 900 in each county and for each
place of business, and each bar or
place where liquor is sold to custo-
mers shall constitute a separate place
of business under this act and re-
ouire a separate license. Five hun
bred dollars shall go to the county
and $500 shall go to the State and
any incorporated city or town may
require an additional tax Of not less
than $3.50.
Provided, that whenever any such
business is located outside the
corporate limits of any city or town,
the owner or owners of such business
shall pay a county license tax to the
equal in amount to the sum total of
the license ia xthat would be as
sessed for both the municipality and
county for such place of business, If
such place of business were located
within the limits of a city or town. ="
etc.
Under this provision of the license
tax laws there is considerable doubt
among State officials and liquor men
whether or not a separate license tax
is required for places maintaining sep
arate white and colored bars.
If this law is literally construed
saloon keepers throughout the State
will throw open their barrooms to
white and colored patrons alike,
rather than pay the double license fee.
A test case has already been taken
TO the courts of Hillsborough County
and it is probable that liquor dealers
generally throughout the State will
withhold the payment of their license
fees until it is decided.
