Mcpherson is the CHEEKY gentleman
from Wallaceburg who pried OF the

(Stnf Correspondent United PresS.)
THE following Is the first story
brought by an American correspond
ent from the Austrian battle front Ii
has been passed by both German and
British censors.

layed.) THE Austrian line In this sec
ton OF Galicia still holds. Standing
like a rock as part of the main de-
fenses OF Emperor Franz Josef Is
Przemysl, apparently impregnable.
II will never be taken except after
a terrific struggle and the sacrifice OF
thousands of lives.
Not only is Przemysl prepared for
an extended siege, but the Austrians
on the front beyond are entrenched
In the best possible positions. The
booming of the Russian guns assailing
these positions Is heard constantly, but
there is not single line wavering.
Arriving at Przemysl was escorted
TO the front beyond the city by an off,
Ger detailed from the stan. There
spent a day amid the incessant fir
ing OF the Austrian batteries. The
terrible roar OF the heavy guns never
ceased for an instant
At daybreak the Russians began
Smelling the Austrian defenses. They
Ira;ned steel upon the Austrians
throughout the day but were answered
shot for shot. A Russian shell burst
near Archduke Leopold Salvador: II
threw shower OF earth upon him. but
he was nninjured and apparently not
concerned in the least by the incident.
Reports that the morale OF the Aus
trian army Is broken and that Il ranks
are being thinned by the ravages of
cholera are untrue. The men have
been vaccinated to prevent an out
break OF this disease Austrian cor
respondents submitted to the same
treatment.
Everywhere the determination To
hold Przemysl to the last man Is evi.
dent. II does not seem that the now.
erful fortifications here can ever be
taken, except after an extended siege.

THIS SURELY SETTLES IT

Recently Hon. Arthur 7. Will
liams of this State, well known
and highly respected citizen who
had seen Stocktons charge that
Senator Fletcher was a reactionary
rather than progressive in his
politics and noted how the Stock
ton papers were playing it up, de-
termined to get truth of the matter
and accordingly went to headquar-
tiers for information on the subject.
He wrote to Woodrow Wilson, lead
ing progressive Democrat of the
United States and got this reply
written from the White House I'M
der date of March "a;
"My Dear Mr.. Williams. | have
your letter of March 10 and am very
glad to reply to it, | am surprised
that any one should charge Senator
Fletcher with being a reactionary.
Certainly, during the time when |

gTessive policy of the party not only
with unvarying loyalty. but with
real energy, and has shown at every

LAKELAND PEOPLE ARE
ARRESTED BY THE U. S.
A. Z. Robinson and Wife Held in the
County Jail-lndicted by Grand
Jury Tor Use of Mails

United States Deputy Marshal l..
A. Rennolds yesterday arrested A.
Robinson and his wife. Mrs. VI. l..
Robinson. of Lakeland, on charge
Of having used the United States
mail for fraudulent purposes.
The arrest was made on an indict-
ment returned recently by a federal
grand jury In Mississippi. When ar
raigned yesterday before Justice Of
the Peace Jose b. Fernandez, acting
in the absence OF United States Com
missioner II. IL. Crane, both Mr..
and Mrs. Robinson were remanded
TO Jail in default of $4,000 bond,
which probably will be furnished on
Monday.
The Robinsons are prominent and
wealthy people of Lakeland. The
char.e against them is that they
used the mail to promote the sale of
stock in the Tishomingo Tie & Stone
Company, of Tishomingo, Miss, in
which they are alleged to have de-
frauded purchasers. 1t is alleged
that the two sons of Mrs. Robinson
ARE already under arrest in Missis-
sippi.
The sale of the stock of the cor
poration followed various other diff
ficulties, too complicated to be de-
tailed in a newspaper story, but told
in detail in papers recently filed here
in a civil action in which Mrs. Rob-
inson was one of the defendants -
Tampa Tribune.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson's' attor-
ney, Mr.. Eppes Tucker. Jr., states
that the couple are not in Jail but
are under surveillance at the DeSoto
hotel. Mr.. Tucker is making an eff
fort to raise the $4,000 bond, but
should this be impossible. Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson will be taken to Mis-
sissippi to answer to the charge.

Referring to the approaching
meeting of the Press Association and
the hullaballoo that has been raised
by few Fletcher supporters be-
cause Senator Fletcher has been in
vited to be present along with all
other members of the congressional
delegation, as well as Governor
Trammell and other State officials,
the Palatka News has this robust
paragraph full of refreshing good
sense:
The meeting is to be Joy ride,
a meeting of kindred spirits, and
any politician who feels that he can
work the boys will be welcome
to try his hand. But the candidate
will not be featured as a part Of the
program. Life is too short, and press
association meetings are of neces-
sity few"

That was a mighty fine leading ar
'ticle in the Pensacola Journal of
Sunday defining modern progress
sive and illustrating its meaning
with many notable historical in
stances. The Journal very properly
includes Woodrow Wilson in its list
of progressive statesmen who are in
the forefront of the movement to
better political, economic and moral
conditions for the American people;
and as Woodrow Wilson, over his
own signature in letter of recent
date, includes Duncan U. Fletcher,
United States senator from Florida
and candidate for reelection, in his
list of progrcssives, we hold that the
esteemed Journal is hereby estopped
from any further classification of
Senator Fletcher as reactionary.

JOTTINGS BY THE WAYSIDE

Editor Telegram: left Lakeland at
1880 a. m. April and at 8 p. m.
was comfortably quartered at the
New Atlantic hotel on Bay street.
remained in Jacksonville until
|S p. m. Tuesday, having nice time
receiving appreciated courtesies from
Hon. A. NJ. Williamson, Mrs. Frans
Nobel, Judge Ion Farris, Prof. Hur-
cules. Gen. ~. b. Forrest. Jr.,r and
Gen. A. d. Williams and his accom-
plished daughters.
Through these kind friends, | was
enabled to visit many points of the
city and take in the details of the
preparations for the reunion.
The selection of the Aragon for
general headquarters, | think, was a
mistake as it is not first grade
hotel, has only one entrance and all
the lower story is given up to stores
and saloons. | think the Windsor
would have been so much better as
no room on the entire block is used
for any other than hotel purposes.
It frants Hemming park, has broad
verandas, several entrances and
magnificent parlors.
Gen. Williams has secured thirty
rooms in this magnificent building
for his special friends, besides he
will open his private residences of
twenty rooms filled with beds for
the use of veterans, free of cost to
them.
DR.. Williams and his daughters
have travelled extensively and has
collected many curios and souve-
Mrs. Last summer they penetrated
into the interior of Alaska and
studied the habits and custom of
the semi barbarous Indians of that
remote region.
BY diplomacy and four hundred
dollars in gold he secured Totem"
of the Siwash, now erected on a
concrete pedestal in his front yard
on Hogan street This is one of the
rarest curiosities have ever seen.
The doctors military career COM
menccd when he was IA years of
age. He was paroled with Gen.
johnson April 26, 1865, having
served three years and received four
wounds. He was in the regular U.
s. service in Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Philippines and in China during the
Boxer rebellion.
Among the many souvenirs of the
extensive service two were very at
tractive to me: One, a bronze urn
he got in Pekin that is more than
one thousand years old and the 9TH
err is magic ring given the doctor
by Zulu chief whose life he saved.
At s p. m. took leave ofmy dear
Jacksonville friends and woke up
next morning in Montgomery. What
n saw and heard there is another
