The state railroad commission today

"The first report Of this accident 10
the commission was received at 1l:46
a. m, although the derailment occurred
within about four miles Of the state

made by the secretary and assistant seq
tary, and later in the day Gas soon as
Commissioner Campbell and the engin-
eer of the commission could reach the
scene Of the derailment) further investi-
CATION was made, followed by a formal
investigation upon the ground today.
"After an investigation Of all the
visible marks and taking the testimony
of witnesses, we are of the opinion that
without question the derailment Of the
train was caused by the removal Of
spikes from both sides Of the east rail

While the general condition OF tho
track on both sides of the place of the
accident indicates that tie renewals
have not been made to normal standard,
the track was In better condition mt the

Tallahassee. June 2.-The military
appropriation bill brought on a sharp
fight in the house this afternoon wren
X<ite offered an amendment striking
out that section which would reirn-
burse the city of Jacksonville for the
money loaned the state to pay the
troops ordered out during October and
November. Speaker Farris took the
floor and asserted that the troops had
been called out at the instance of .ha
Jacksonville Traction Company; that
they were not necessary and he con-
sidefed it an outrage on the people of
Jacksonville that the troops were
brought there. He said If there was
any way in which the city could be
reimbursed by suing the bond trus-
tees and other city officials of Jack
sonvilles who were responsible, that he
would not be in favor of the state's s
paying the amount. He said if the
state did not pay it that the burden
would fall on the city of Jacksonville,
and large majority of them were
opposed to the action of the sheriff
and the mayor, who requested the gov
ernor to send troops.
Farris said that every official of
Jacksonville who had anything to do
yJith the matter should he impeached
apd that the mayor and the sheriff had
been DEFEATED as a result of 1t. The
appropriation was allowed to stand.
Another heated debate followed i'm
n1ediately on the section increasing

military encampment in which Floyd
made Mapoles take to the woods. The
latter opposed 1t. This increase was
also allowed

HOLMESCOUNTY
MEN ACQUITTED
BY i. S. JURY
JUDGE SHEPPARD INSTRUCTED
JURY TO FIND EZRA kRYDER,
ToBE LEAVINS AND DOLL KIRK
LAND mot GUILTY OF ILLICIT
DISTILLlNG.

In the United States court which
convened yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock, Judge William B. Sheppard
presiding, Ezra Kryder, Tobe Leavins
and Doll Kirkland, all white, charged
with operating an Illicit still in Holmes
county, near Bombay, were acquitted.
At the request of District Attorney F.
c. Cubberly, the judge instructed the
jury to return verdict of not guilty.
This action was taken after TESTIMONY Y
was heard.
Negroes Pleaded Guilty.
Ann Curry, an aged negro woman,
and Henry Daniels, a young negro man,
pleaded guilty to the charge of Illicit
distiliing in Jackson county, about five
miles from Campbeltos.- Neither OF
them was sentenced yesterday.
The woman was brought before
Judge Sheppard yesterday afternoon,
when he questioned her at length re-
garding the charge to which she had
pleaded guilty. She told the Judge
that the still at the place at which she
lived on Robert Barr's plantation was
there when she moved there and that
it consisted of "a can and another con-
cern,' but that she had never seen it
used nor never helped to make any
rum with the apparatus
Judge Sheppard laughed when she
said the still was there when she
moved on the place, and told her that
before.
The woman some time ago said that
she drank some of the liquor made at
the still and that it made her sick.
From the questions asked the wom-
an, it appeared that Judge Sheppard
believed she was trying to shield some
other party. He told her that If she
pleaded guilty in order to shield some
other negro, he was going to give her
the time in the penitentiary at Atlanta
that would be imposed on the other
party The woman said she pleaded
guilty simply because the still was
found at her place and not because
she had used it or seen it used.
IF you get some of that good coffee
they make up in the Atlanta peniten-
tiary. you probably would not need
rum" said Judge Sheppard. But even
this could not bring from the woman
any additional information regarding
the operation of the still. She was
carried back to cell to await SEN
tence.
Indictments Returned.
The following indictments were re-
turned yesterday by the grand jury,
all of the defendants being in custody:
Dick Brown and Morgan Roberts,
negroes Illicit distilling in Jackson
county, near Mariana. Brown pleaded
guilty, but was not sentenced.
Pablo Borda, steward on the steam
ship Gracia, and Ventura Quirigola, a
Pensacola dairyman, conspiracy to
smuggle gin from the steamship. The

liams, Shirley and Gore, comprising
the senate finance subcommittee On
the agricultural schedule of the tariff
bill today recommended making meats
and -four dutiable carrying out the de-
termination to perfect the Underwood
bill by equalizing raw materials and

wiser to levy nominal duties on meats

grain on the free list. Beef, mutton,
and pork were made dutiable at ten
percent advalorem and wheat and -four
dutiable at As cents a barrel, and
other wheat products at ten per cent
advalorem.
The Underwood duty on oats was
six cents a bushel with a compensa-
tory duty on oatmeal, said to be ap-
proximately five per cent advalorem.
Cattle, sheep and hogs will remain
dut1able at ten percent advaloren.

cents a bushel stands.
