Another Ship for Europe.

Washington, Sept. l6.--The fairy
ship" as a child called it, which
will be loaded by Santa Claus and
viii sail for war-racked Europe with
in q few weeks, is interesting all
Washington Children are enthusi-
astic and teachers and parents have
approved the plan strongly. Mrs,
Marshall wife OF the vice president,
will take up her needle and open
her purse for the war orphans. At
the same time she thinks a wise
selection of toys will give the for
eign children more of Christmas
cheer. Mrs. Mac DOnals, wife of the
representative from Michigan, hopes
that neighborhood of church circles
will be formed so that every con
ceiyable article may be sent with
the lelp of wiser folks than the
youn gsters. Mrs. Gorgas, wife OF
the new surgeon general of the
United States army, said of the gift
ship plan: "It is a beautiful idea.
People are apt to overlook the chill
dren and their pleasures, if not their
actual necessities, in the distress OF
great tragedies. 1t is splendid for
the children of America to do some
thing worth while for the children
of the desolated countries The
plan to send this gift ship with
the clothing and gifts from the chill
dren of this nation to others in the
warning countries of Europe has met
with praise on all sides. Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, British ambassador in
Washington and Sir Edward Grey,
head of the foreign office of En-

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. l6.-S. S.
Naples, the Webbers Falls man who
boasts that he stole an entire railroad
bids fair to lose his loot through an
order of the state court to set aside
the charter of the Shawnee Webbers

The state has filed a suit in the

the railroads charter be annulled on
the grounds that the charter was is
sued to- the road as a common carrier
and that it has ceased to be such
The railroad company came into court
and admitted that all of the facts set
forth in the states annulment petit
ton were correct and will not contest
the order.
The Shawnee, Webber Falls and
Western railroad was "A short line

distance of II miles, connecting with
the Midland Valley at the latter point.

PESTS OF FLIES.
Hordes of Them Viciously Attack
Man and Beaet.

Man and Reaet.
Oklahoma City, Sept 16.-Farmers
are being driven from their fields
and cattle are running all the fat
off on account of flies in some sec.
tions of Oklahoma. There are straw
flies. the regular big, black horse
flies and another and new species
of fly, small and black but very vic
ious in their attacks upon horses
and cattle.
Farmers find it practically i'm.
possible to keep their teams going in
the fields without covering them
with solid cloth, the ordinary nets
being useless before the attacks of
the swarms of flies. This cOndi-
ton exists only along the streams
where the flies appear to have bred
in alarming numbers. On the prai-
ries the wind keeps them in check.
Farmers who had herds of cattle
NdAlhS IdJ Ou grass anu tApCCltu w
round them off with grain and put
them on the market in the early
winter are now beginning to fear
that their cattle will approach win
ter poorer than they were in the
spring on account of the flies. In
the daytime the cattle will stand
in water as deep as they can wade
until hunger drives them out to
feed.
Then they will work out the herd
as compact as it is possible for them
to move in order to give a measure
of self protection. Frequently a
steer will break from the herd and
roll over and over to rid himself
of flies, or make a break for water
and plunge in until it has to swim.
Instances have been reported where
cattle actually gave up and laid down
to die, and the flies would have
sucked their life blood away had the
cattle not been found in time and
covered up. No such hordes of flies
have ever before been seen by the
oldest cowman in Oklahoma.

FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT
ON THE KENDR|CK
HARD ROAD

Saturday about 8 p. m informa-
ton was received in this city that an
automobile hau ueen wrecked on the
Kendr:ck hard road about three miles
from Ocala, and a white man was
killed and others were injured.
A reporter of this paper was dis
patched to the scene of the accident
and ascertained the following partic
ulars:
The car was from Gainesville, and
belonged TO a DR.. A. J. Ransom, vet
Urinary surgeon. 1t was driven by
oliver Brown, a colored chauffeur
from the o. K. garage at Gainesville.
d. Ransom was accompanied by
Mr.. A. NJ. Painter, a friend.
Rrown, the chauffeur, says that the
car was very dimly lighted, and that
they were not going at a very rapid
speed. That when about three miles
from Ocala the car collided with a
wagon. The car was completely
wrecked. Dr. Ransom was instantly
killed and Mr.. Painter and Brown
We're so badly dazed that they could
rot give a coherent account of the ac-
cident.
1t has since been ascertained that
they ran into a wagon drawn by a
mule, and it is believed that the mule
was lifted off his feet and fell over
into the ear.
Mr.. Painters right ear was badly
lacerated, and the negro's fingers
were split open, besides receiving 9TH
er injuries.
The wounded men received imme-
date medical attention and the body
of Dr. Ransom was turned over to
Messrs. McIver and MacKay, under
takers, and was later sent to his
home in Gainesville for intetrment.
The accident caused great excite
ment in our city, and a number of
persons in automobiles went out to
the scene of the tragedy.

EDUCATORS FAVOR WOMEN ON
SCHOOL BOARDS

Women's suffrage scored heavily
yesterday afternoon at the state con-
vention of school officials. The ques-
ton was raised during a discussion
on the subject of county boards of
public education. and involved the
advisability of making women eligi-
BILE for election to one or more places
on these boards. Supt. w. A. Thax-
ton presented the subject to the con-
vention and after his address there
was lively discussion. The trend
of opinion was decidedly in favor of
the serving of women on county
boards, not alone from the standpoint
of justice but because women are SO
intimately related to all questions af-
fecting the welfare of public schools
that their service on such boards
could not fail to be beneficial.
Members of the convention the 60
ing in a body this afternoon to the
home of Thomas A. Edison, where
they will be received as special
guests.
Besides the reception at the Edison
home this afternoon the Fort Myers
Woman's Club is giving a reception
at the home of Mrs. M. Johnson in
honor of Mrs. w. s. Jennings and
Mrs. ]. F. Fuller, prominent members
of the Florida Federation of Women's
Clubs, who will appear on the con-
vention programe tonight-Thurs-
days Fort Myers Press. Supt. ]. H.

who attended the Fort Myers con-
vention are home. 1t was a SPLENDID
meeting and the educators were given
a royal time while in Fort Myers.

SUCCESSOR TO LAURENCE DO

loss is irreparable. we must look
about 10 find a successor who will

lieve that man is J. ID. Rooney of
0cala, the secretary OF the board of
trade al 0cala and a man whose en-
ergy and ability is recognized by all
a man who loved and appreciated the
achievements of Laurence Dozier. and
who would take up the battle where
Mr.. Dozier laid IL down to respond to
the call Of the Grim Reaper. Mr.. Do
zier was president of the state board
OF trade, and no man is better able TO
fll his position so well filed by the
deceased than ]. d. Rooney. Like
Mr.. Dozier. Mr.. Rooney is aggressive
and loves TO serve his state-like Mr.
Dozier. Mr.. Rooney is interested in
the general development OF Florida.
The great Oklawaha project which
was the dream of Laurence Dozier's
business life. and which he had push
ed 50 successfully, is also dear TO j.
ID. Rooney. and he would be the ideal
man TO take up Mr.. Doziers great
work.
Marion county and Lake county are
In unison in the great 0klawaha en-
terprise which win prove such a

Dozier undertook and he was pushing
Il rapidly to success. Had ne lived
Il would have proved the browning

.DA YTON,S DECISION
IN BANKRUPT CASE
That Intervening Petition May
Be Filed at Death of Bank
rupt is a Precedent.

MARTINsBURG, Dec. sO-At the
special term of the federal court held
here Thursday by Judge Aston G.
Dayton, the suit to adjudicate the es-
tate Of the late William H. Crawford
as bankrupt, was taken up and ar
gued by the attorneys, and at the
conclusion Of the arguments Judge
Dayton announced that he would
grant the petition Of the creditors
and declare the estate bankrupt. The
estate. therefore, will take its usual
course through the court, and
further hearings will be held before
referee Thomas, in this city, on some
disputed points. "a
In connection with this case, Judge
Dayton established q precedent in
bankruptcy proceedings by ruling
that an intervening petition In bank
ruptcy may be filed after the death
of the alleged bankrupt. 1t is said
that this is the first time decision
has ever been handed down on this
point In the courts.
AS will be remembered, the Craw-
ford Wooden Company, OF which Mr..
Crawford was president, was adtudi-
Gated a bankrupt by Judge Dayton,
and. shortly thereafter suit was
brought by creditors to adjudicate
Mr.. Crawford personally a bankrupt.
While this suit was pending, Mr..
Crawford died, and after his death an
intervening petition was fled through
Attorney A. c. McIntire by the Ocean
Accident & Guaranty Company, OF
New York, for a claim of $1,000. This
intervening petition was. contested
by the heirs, but was upheld by the
court, which ruled that death does
not abate the right to file such a PEI
titioh. Z
Judge Dayton stated that he hoped
this point would be taken to higher
conrt-jn order that the principle
might be established or rejected.
