| Tallahassee. May 25.-With referenc ce
| to Senator Duncan L. F7etcher's en-
phatic denial of the statement that
he congratulated the Jacksonville
board of trade by telegram or letter
upon Jacksonville being made head
quarters of the Florida customs col
lection district, wish to present here
with a letter from Mr.. g. NJ. West, edi-
tor of the Panama City Pilot, which
indicates that the editorial and srepor-
torial staffs of the Ttmes-U Union got
their wires cross in looking after
Senator Fletcher's interests, and. to
suggest that they confer hereafter
when boosting the game" of the senior
senator.
With Park TrammelI or some other
progressive in the field, I think Sen
ator Fletcher and his journalistic
champions will be kept decidedly busy
with 0enials before the spring primar-
les are held. 1t seems certain that the
progressive hosts are going to center
or some strong men, and a battle royal
may be expected
VESTS LETTER.
The letter from Mr.. West mentioned
above, is as follows:
Panama City, Fla, May %. 1913.
''Mr. Frank l.. 1Iuffaker, Tallahassee,
My Dear Sir-Your ,etter at hand
and under separate cover l am mail
ing you COPY of the Pilot containing
the item in question.
MY attention was particularly called
to this mention of F1etcher's congratu-
Iations through the article being in the
city editors province, while the edi-
torial pages were taking a contrary
view of the matter. The two sides OF
the paper had not gotten together.
There was nothing further said
about the matter by the Times Union,
and there was an apparent attempt to
smother the break made by the local
reporter.
TT seems to me it is right up to
Mr.. Fletcher and the Times-Union to
explain what the article did mean, if
it was not as stated. OF course Mr..
Fletcher had the right to congratulate
Jacksonville in this matter, nothing
criminal about that, and it was quite
natural that he, as a citizen of that
place, should do So That It would be
made public and react upon him pos
sibly was not thought of at the time.
"It was not stated, as ] recollect,
that any message or letter had been
received from Fletcher, but as to his
congratulations there was no mistake. |
Just how they were conveyed I do not
know. I have no file Of the Times |
Union. so cannot give you the exact |
wording of the faux pas.
'1t was simply a case Of trying to |
carry water on both shoulders in the |
political game, with a not unusual re-
suit.
'FVery truly yours,

MEETING WITH RoBERT BARR

Robert Barr, the popular novelist,

were travelling some years since in
Germany, and took the water way to-
Cologne. Among the numbers of brod-
chen devouring and beer drinking pas.
sengers on the little steamer l noticed
one, man with an eager expression,
who was distinguished by his abstin-
ence and by his absorption in the
passing scenery of the Rhine. | got
into conversation by chance with the
observer and the whole route to
Cologne was from that moment made
a living reality to me by the mans
comment.
The following day we decided to con-
tinue our journey, and again we chose
the transit steamer, and again we met
the man Of recollection and observa-
ton. I tried, by conversational open
ings, to discover his identity, but he
needed none, continuing to pour out
flood of history and legend Of the
Rhine. At length the time of parting
came. With a sweep Of the arm,
which included my companion and N.Y.
self, he said: 'T shall hope to see
you when you return from this, the
journey Of your lives" and handed
me card, on which was inscribed
the name OF Robert Barr. Il don't
think we can call together" replied,
for while 1 live in London, my
brothers home is in the north, and /
seldom catch sight Of him on his day
trips to town." Your BROTHER
