width from three to fifteen feet. The
ditching has practically been complet-
ed. Mr.. Cummings has large force
of men clearing and fencing and the
work will be finished as rapidly as
possible. There is shell bank az
Rodman and The new road is being
surfaced with that material, which
makes real hard road.
This splendid improvement is right
in the Colonies of the New South
Farm & Home Company, where up
wards of 10000 acres of land are be-
ing colopfzed, and should prove quite
beneficial, and create an increased
price for both improved and unim
proved acreage throughout the whole
section. A naval stores man speak

this improvement is in the flowing
we'll district, the raising of celery,
which requires plenty of water,
should be an easy proposition.
Messrs. T. R. Higgins, editor of
The New Florida, Fred Higgins and
Arthur G. Brabrook, left Palatka a
few days ago on a tour of inspection
of this great undertaking, great be-
cause it is all the undertaking of one
man, Mr.. Cummings, of the Rodman
Lumber Company. A camera was
taken along and some fine views of
the work obtained.
Mr.. Cummings has been over every
acre Of the land in that section, hav-
ing been for years engaged in the
timber, turpentine and lumber bust
ness. He also knows something about
farming and stock raising. That he
is developing more than 1900 acres
at the outset, instead of trying out
hundred or so acres, is an indication

MILITANTS GET
INTO CHURCHES
Suffragettes Created Disorder in Cath
Ollie Houses of Worship in
London.

London, June Suffragettes for the
first time yesterday invaded the Cath
Ollie churches. They created scenes by
attempting to harangue the congrega
tions. Worship was disturbed in the
Westminster cathedral and in the Church
of the Brompton 0ratory.
Father Bernard Vaughn had just TAX
en- his place in the pulpit at Westmin-
ster cathedral during the evening service
when woman rushed up the steps into
another pulpit, waving her arms toward
the altar, and shrieked: 81 protest
against the forcible feeding of women"
She was we'll dressed and apparently
woman of refinement The congre-
CATION was shocked. The woman again
waved her arms and kept yelling inco-
herently, until the vergers forcibly
pulled her down the steps and led her
to the doors, turning her over to the
police.
A band OF militant suffragettes inter
rupted the midday mass at the Church
of the Oratory, chanting, God save EN-
incline Pankhurst and all our noble pris-
oners, open the eyes of this church and
the priests to put an end to torture,
in the name OF the blessed Joan OF Arc.
Hear them in their hour of need
A scene of great disorder ensued.
Struggling fercely and shouting loudly
the sufragettes were forced by worship
pers and ushers into the street. Grow
ing hostility on the part of the public
toward militants was shown by assaults
yesterday on several openair meetings.
A sensation was caused by the dis
covery of young man in Buckingham
palace, where the royal family passed
Sunday. He said he did it to prove that
entrance could be easily effected,

President Wilson Stays on
the Job Satur-
day
WATCHING NIAGARA
FALLS MEDIATIONS
Danger Of Some Step There
Which Will Nullify Long
Weeks Of Effort

Washington, June s.--The tension of
public business just now at Washington
was evidenced by the return of Presi-
dent Wilson to his office Saturday morn
ing This pertains in good part to me-
gotiations of mediators at Niagara
Falls, which the president is following
very closely. The danger of some step
there which will nullify the many long
weeks of careful efforts to obtain peace
is fully realized. There can be nothing
definite, apparently, until Carranza's re-
ply is received The president also saw
Saturday Consul SiIliman, who was i'm
prisoned by the Mexicans at Saltillo.
The president is urging prompt action
by the Senate on the antitrust bills and
was gratified with the report by the
Senate interstate commerce committee
Saturday of the federal trade commits
sion bill" This paves the way for
speedy consideration by the Senate of
antitrust measures. This bill as amend
ed in committee is explained by Chair
man Newlands as a moderate measure.
The committee will probably follow soon
with provision forbiding interlocking d.
rectorates, which may be offered by an
amendment.
The Senate had an afternoon of de-
bate on the canal tolls bill, with Sen
ators Hitchcock of Nebraska, Cummins
of Iowa and Thompson of Kansas in
speaking roles. Mr.. Hitchcock is for
repeal with amendments. After con-
sidering bills on the calendar for while,
the Senate took n recess in the early aft
ernoon until to-day, parliamentary
expedent for continuing the legislative
day and enabling the Senate to give the
beginning of the week to the canal bill
without interruption.
The interstate commerce commission
Saturday concluded hearings for awhile
on the New Haven, but may resume for
a little late next week. Certain of the
commissioners are disposed to cut fur
Their bearings short Hoffman Miller, in
behalf of his father, George MacCulloch
Miller, who was a New Haven director,
and one of the survivors of the commit
tee that acted in the purchase of the
New York and Portchester property and
also in the purchase of the Westchester
road, gave out a statement Saturday.
This indicated the eagerness of Mr.. Mil
Ter, sr., to testify about these transac-
tions. He is So years old and too feeble
physically to come to Washington, but
is anxious to make a deposition. The
commission has noe @cted yet upon his
request.

DECISION AGAINST FRANK.
Judge Refuses to Hear Motives to Set
Aside Verdict.

Atlanta, Ga, June S.--Judge Ben Fl.
Hill of the Fulton county superior court
Saturday sustained the states demurrer
to the motion to set aside the verdict by
which Leo NJ. Frank was found guilty
of the murder of Mary Phagan, fac
tory girl The motion was based on the
claim that Franks constitutional rights
were violated when the verdict was re-
turned during the condemned mans alb
sence from court. In sustaining the de-
murrer Judge Hill refused to hear the
motion on its merits, holding instead
that it was filed too late to merit con-
sideration.
1t was regarded in court circles as
highly probable that Franks lawyers
would Immediately appeal to the state
supreme court asking that Judge Hills
action be reversed. Should the higher
court take such action an order would
be issued directing the Fulton county
superior court to hear the main motion
on its merits In the event that the
ruling is affirmed. Franks lawyers prob
ably would appeal to the United States
supreme court.
