GREEN FRUIT
DOESN'T GO
Carload of Unripe Fruit Held Up by
Officers in Lee County

Fort Myers, Oct. 10.-FOr the past
several days considerable interest
has been excited over the fact that a
consignment OF green fruit had been
seized by Inspector J. B. Pylant and
ordered held subject to decision
from the commissioner OF agricul-
ture. Hon. W. A McRae.
The starting of the case came
about when car of fruit was deliv-
cred 10 the Lee County Packing Co.
from the grove of A. L. White. The
fruit was in the packing house, ready
for the usual working over, culling,
etc. for shipment, when Inspector
FylanJ happened on the scene. The
inspector looked over the fruit and
stated that at least - per cent of
the same was not ripe enough for
shipment. A question was raised.
and samples of the fruit was sent to
Commissioner McRae at Tallahassee.
After testing the fruit samples the
commissioner of agriculture wired
Inspector Pylant to hold the green
fruit in the hands OF the sheriff. AMI
allow the marketable or good fruit
to he shipped Inspector Pylant
Obeyei orders to the letter, and the
green fruit is now in the hands of
Sheriff F. B. Tippins awaiting the
order Of the commissioner of agricul-
ture.

CAUST|C ANSWER
To FRANK CLARK
Rough Remarks from Governor
About Our Eloquent Repre-
sentative

Jacksonville, Oct. 9-The Netrop-
oils of this afternoon says:
Former Governor w 5. Jennings,
when shown the statement of Rep
resentatiye Frank Clark, concerning
him and the proposed colonization OF
Japanese in Florida. said:
AS stated the other day | am only
indirectly interested in the question,
and stated at the time, which is
made perfectly plain by Clark s
harangue, that it was merely a per
sOnal matter, and repetition of
Clark s former slanderous attacks on
me.
His insinuation that | went into
office poor and came out rich. is the
same false and slanderous statement
for which he received a little chaS-
tisement on the front part OF his
hat.
His insinuation and statement
that | became rich out of the Ever
glades lands sales is false; and he
knew it TO be false when he uttered
it. for he had investigated it fully.
1t is altogether probable that
Clark was of the opinion at one
time that | was making money out
of land sales in the Everglades, be-
cause | was Informed by a reliabl
citizen of Florida that Clark started

Senator and Cabinet Minister in Word Duel

A STORMY verbal encounter be-
n tween a cabinet minister and a
senator of the United States furnished
a morsel OF gossip here the other day.
Senator Ashurst Of Arizona thinks
the mining laws are something afro
cious, even when properly enforced
When decisions are rendered under
this act he can find ne expressions to
cope with the situation. One OF these
obnoxious opinions was handed down
and Mr. Ashurst cleared his decks
for action and sailed down to the in
terror department.
The senator told the secretary that
In his humble Judgment the decision
rendered against his constituent was
the most unjust. unsalted, unripe and
swaybacked distortion Of law and COM
mon sense into which he had ever
bumped
The secretary informed the senator
that the opinion was twenty karat
fine, platinum tipped, warranted to
keep at the equator and in accord
ance with law and practice.
Did you ever try mining case?"
shouted Mr.. Ashurst after the sands
In the dictionary began to run low.

admitted to the bar twenty-five years

1t was explained by the angry sen.
ator that he did not intend to insult
the secretary, bat that he really
thought the head of great executive
department should have little horse
sense; it would not impair his useful
ness, and might prove wonderfully
helpful in mining decisions.
In turn the secretary intimated to
the Euperheated senator that he was
weary of scolding and denunciation.
He conveyed the impression that the
senator might find number Of suit

outside his Office.

There are two ways OF rendering

other way is to give him an anesthet-
