1PAMMELL MAKES CORRECTION
RELATIVE TO DRAINAGE BILL.

Tallahassee, Fla, May %, 1913.
Evening News, Pensacola, Fla:
Your Tallahassee correspondent in
his article appearing in The News
OF yesterday. speaks of Trammell's
Dill to bond the State for six mil
lion dollars to drain the Everglades.
why he should SO refer to the bill
| cannot understand. The bill is not
TrammelI's but is IA measure prepared
and recommended by the drainage
board. The bill shows plainly and
Cnequivocally that it Is not meas
ure to bond the State, but that it
only provides for bonds upon the Ey-
erslades drainage district that the
interest on the bonds and the funds
FOR their retirement are to be raised
exclusively by the drainage tax on
the lands within the drainage dis
trlct and only by tax on said lands.
The bonds would not be State bonds
and the State would in no wise be
liable for them. When | explained
the bill to the House, stated plainly
and positively that the bonds pro-
rosed would not be State bonds or a.
state obligation. but that they would
be drainage district bonds secured
rnly by the drainage tax levied on
land in the drainage district only,
Your reporter evidently has not read
the bill and certainly did not hear
the explanation Of the measure made
by Attorney General West and my.
self, or else he could not have made
the report which appears In your pa
per. 1t was also explained by Mr..
West and myself that the drainage
board had employed Dillon, Thomson
and Clay of New York, the most emf
heht bond attorneys in America, to
assist In the preparation of the meas
Ire and that they had given us a
written opinion that the proposed
bonds constituted only an obligation
N the drainage district and wuld in
4" wise create State debt or obliga.

YELPS WHEN CARUSO SCARS
Woman Takes Dog to Opera an,
Tenor Suffers When Rival
Cuts Loose.

Baltimore, Md.--Just as Caruso at
the Metropolitan Opera house recently
reached the part in the third act Of
"Alda," where he takes the highest
notes of the opera, the silence of tho
big horseshoe was suddenly broken by
the piercing yelp of a small dog, ap.
parently In misery.
"Ki.yi, yi.yi-yi," went the startling
yelp, high above. tho note OF the ia
nous tenor.
For share Of a moment, Caruso
was seen to hesitate. An agonized
look came over his face, but he got a
quick grip on himself and proceeded.
"Ki.yi.yi," went the dog In sec.
ond shrill shrek Of pain, and then a
muflled. half.uttered yelp indicated
that the owner Of the animal had oh.
tained strangle hold.
There was commotion, especially
in the neighborhood Of the shrieks. A
well.dressed woman with crimson face
was seen struggling with something
fluffy. A few near her caught a glimpse
of canine pet and began to litter.
Several ushers rushed In her direction,
but the look of unconcern she had as
sumed by that time made them hesi-
tate. Those who were aware of tho
episode wondered IL the owner Of the
dog pinched its ear on purpose or had
accidently jabbed it with hatpin.
Anyhow, the owners name could not
be learned and just what Caruso said.
under his breath, was likewise lost.
