MORE TUNNELS IN PROSPECT
English Engineer Predicts Present
Channel Project 10 Only 4
Forerunner.


when one tunnel under the Eng
lish channel has been completed, an
other will have to be made very soon
after it, and possibly q third"
This confident prediction was made
by Sir Francis Fox when talking to
members of the house Of commons on
the engineering difficulties Of the pro-
posed tunnel. All parties were repre-
sented, and 1t was curious to notice
how the prejudices that prevailed at
one time against the project have died
down.
Sir Francis told Of recent CONVEX
sation he had with high military
authority who was at one time
strong opponent of the scheme. But"
said this authority, now that we have
aeroplanes and airships the problem
is entirely changed and it has become
a matter of national necessity that the
tunnel should be made"
Sir Francis Fox rapidly ran over the
details of the scheme. It would cost
6 16,000,00O. half Of which IL to
be contributed by England and half
by France. A revenue Of E1,555,000
is estimated, and an expenditure OF
s1,135,O0O.

Statue for Great Writer.

The proposal to erect a statue to
Goldsmith within the precincts Of the
Temple, where he lived and worked for
many years and now lies buried, has
been revived with prospect of success.
Clement X. Shorter suggests that a
replica of Foley's statue Of Goldsmith
in front Of Trinity college. Dublin,
should be placed in the Temple.
There are, it is declared by artists.
only two good statues in London. those
OF Charles I, at Charing Cross and of
James II in the Admiralty gardens.
Dublin has Foley's two statues, those
of Burke and Goldsmith. They are
both of unquestionable beauty, and it
is felt that the proposed replica would
not only do something to comment
crate the memory Of Goldsmith, but
would add statue Of great charm to
London. There IL very little doubt
that permission for it's erection would
be obtained from the master Of the
temple If suitable site was decided
upon.-Pall Mall Gazette.

SENATE NEAR TOLLS VOTE
Fate Of Canal Repeal Measure Will
Probably Be Settled by satur.
day Night.

Washington, June 1.-The long
awaited vote on the tolls exemption
repeal bill will be taken in the SEN
ate before Saturday night. unless all
plans of the senate leaders fail. There
is a prospect that the house will fin
ish its trio of antitrust bills by the
end of the week and pave the way for
adjournment in July il senate lead
ers can reach an agreement on the
amount of trust legislation.
Despite the fact that President Will
sons recent remarks to Ohio and ILL
nois business men are regarded In
some quarters as an announcement
that he will not be satisfied with less
than all three trust bills to be passed
by the house, many senators are said
to feel that the passage of a trade
commission bill by the senate will
prove sufficient.
The toll repeal bill will figure
daily in the senate until the vote Is
taken, but the first test for the sena-
tors who favor arbitration will come
Wednesday when the foreign rela-
lions committee, will vote on arbitra-
ton resolutions The senate also has
taken up the naval appropriation bill
and probably will complete 1t by the
end 0f the week If the repeal bill Is
disposed Of in few days.

THREE SACRIFICE LIVES

Survivors Of Philadelphia Out

Philadelphia, June IA tragic
story of the heroic sacrifice Of three

four young persons, two girls and
two boys. Three young men plunged
into the waters of the Delaware river
late Saturday night that their com.

are John Mouchech, Raymond Tinney
and John Murphy. The saved are

ranged in age from 16 to, rs.
Tinney and Sarah German we're
sweethearts. AS chaperons, they &C.
companied the other cutters ON q visit
to Cramsr Hill, on the New Jersey
side Of the river and hired rowboat.
Suddenly one OF the party saw
water seeping in through break In
the side of the boat. The singing
stopped and there we're hurried sug.
gestions passed.
Raymond Tinney suggested that the
boys leave the boat, hoping thereby
to allow the splintered board to rise
above the water and lessen the dan.
ger. Sarah German begged him not
to attempt it. None Of them could
swim. He had told her that before.
The boat must be lightened shortly
or all would be lost. Kissing his
sweetheart good-by, Tinney leaped
over the boatside. The other boys
followed Immediately. They did not
come up.
The boat capsized shortly after they
had disappeared in the water and the
girls were plunged into the river. Ne.
will and German, however succeeded
in clinging to the overturned craft
and grasped the girls as they were
about to sink for the second time. A
motor boat steamed to the spot after
hearing their cries and carried them
back to safety. 4

Washington. June 2.-Trade unions
and farmers unions would be spe
officially legalized in their existence
and declared not to be combinations
in restraint of trade by paragraph
which the house yesterday Incorporate
ed in the Clayton bill to supplement
the antitrust laws. Although 1t Is
designed only to clarity existing law
organized labor leaders say the final
passage of this amendment will mark
the elimination of fight waged by
them for fourteen years-since the
passage OF the Sherman antitrust
Iaw-for exemption from prosecution
under the laws against monopolies
and restraints of trade. On vote
to perfect the labor provision the
house was recorded 207 for and none
against.
AS adopted the provision declares
that nothing in the antitrust law
shall be construed to forbid the exist.
ence or operations" of labor unions
or farmers cooperative associations,
or to forbid or restrain members Of
such organizations from carrying out
the legitimate objects thereof"
Supplemental to this provision, the
house adopted an amendment pro-
posed by Representative Webb in
charge of the bill. and agreed on by
organized labor representatives and
the administration, which would pro-
vide that such organizations and their
members shall not "be held or con-
strned to be illegal combinations or
conspiracies in restraint Of trade I'M
der the antitrust laws"
Although the provision was passed
without a dissenting vote, there was
considerable debate as to just what
the effect of the legislation would be.
Democratic leaders declared that the
provision would give labor the ex.
emption it desired and asserted that
officials of organized labor had in
dcrsed the phraseology. Progressive
Leader Murdoch and others asserted
that 1t would be years before the
courts could finally define just how
far the exemption went and what it
meant.
A clause to iegaliZe such confer
ences and agreements among rail
roads as are subject to the control
OF the interstate commerce commits
sion also was passed by the house.

Substitute For

URGES FLORIDA FARM.
ERS TO USE GROUND
LIMESTONE.

The stopping of the importa-
ton of potash from Germany,
the indefinite time before it can
again be Imported and its at
tendant effect upon the crops,
according to Agricultural Ad-
wiser w. L. Watson, makes the
use of ground limestone on the
soil at the present time of unus-
ually importance. About one
ton to the acre, he thinks,
would render available the ma
tural potash in the soil and feed
the plants for at least a year and
also neutralize every. unfavor-
able chemical condition.
With this in view, Mr.. Wat
son has taken the matter up
with several manufacturing
firms and states that the previ-
Gus difficulty of the cost of the
ground limestone being too high
seems to be done away. One
of the offers, he thinks, particu-
larly advantageous, the price be-
ing $I.5o per ton sent {. 0. b. in

that he would be delighted to
give any one interested further
details as to how, where, when
and why to get it.
In this connection, Mr.. Wat

was not an acre in the county,
or the State for that matter,

flied by the use of this ground

Progress Made
In Navigation
Is Marvellous
TRIP AROUND THE WORLD
REDUCED FROM THREE
YEARS TO THREE
MONTHS.

Three hundred and ninety-hve
years ago Ferdinand Magellan
set out from Spain on the first
voyage around the world.
Almost three years to the
very day the five ships he start
ed with and eighteen OF the two
hundred and eighty men who be-
gan the voyage OF doubt and dis
covery entered their home port.
Today, in fewer month than it
took years then a ship can cir
cumnavigate the globe, and with
little probable loss of a man ex-
cept for ordinary sickness.
If a modern transatlantic
liner, some of which are capable
of more than 500 miles a day,
set sail from Magellan's starting
point in Spain upon voyage
around the earth, and was able
to maintain its highest speed
throughout the journey, it would
arrive back in port in less than
two months of the day of sail
ing. The Panama canal would
not only eliminate the journey
around South America but the
cold and danger of trip around
Cape Horn. Likewise the Suez
canal rembves the necessity OF
following the course around At
RIGA and offers safe, swift and
comfortable voyage under trop-
ical skies. The two canals have
reduced the world voyage by at
least 5000 miles, making the to-
tai length of the journey little
more than $4,000 miles accord
ing to the estimate of the Uni
ted States photographic bureau.
Magellan's ships would appear
like pigmies beside the modern
ocean liners-all could be placed
on a single deck of thelargest
steamer. Their crews of 28o
men would scarcely be enough
to make up the gang of stokers
that shovel coal into the boilers
of some of the modern ships.
The largest ship afloat today has
a crew of more than 1000 men.

FLORIDA IS GREAT FOR
SUGAR CANE.

There is hardly a county in
Florida that will not raise a high
grade of sugar cane, yet COM
mercially does not rank among
our highest revenue producers,
simply because it is not raised
on an extensive scale. There is
probably, however, no other
crop that will produce as much
revenue with as little expense
as sugar cane.
In speaking of the possibilities
of Florida farm crops, an au-
thority on sugar cane. says:
