FLORIDA ENTITLED
TO VAST ACREAGE
Governor TramInelI Goes TO
Washington
BEHALF OF STATE CLAIM
Executive Thinks State Is Entitled
to Large Territory Under the
Swamp and Overflow Act Passed
In the f;ifties.

Governor Park M. Trammell has
been In Washington conferring with
the general land office on a number
of claims made by the state of Flor
ida for lands to which the state
claims 1t is entitled under the swamp
and overflow act, passed by congress
In the fiftics.
The state has pending before the
department OF the interior claims
amounting to approximately 10000
acres.
The governor Is enthusiastic about
the future Of the Florida Everglades.
Recently an engineering commits
sion visited Florida and made thor
ough study Of the Everglades and
the project to reclaim these lands"
said the governor In statement pub
lished, "and the report was that close
to 100000 acres Of Everglade
lands can be reclaimed.
There are about 100000 acres
In the Everglades district OF Flor
ida, and we have proved absolutely
that our undertaking Is practicable
one.
1.-THE state owns about fourth of
the Everglades, or in the neighbor-
hood OF 100000 acres. The lands,
that have been drained and culti-
waited have proved the best kind OF
producing lands. At the Miami fair
not long ago crops from the Ever
glades took the first prize.
"a short time since the state sold
200 acres fronting on Lake OkeechO-
bee for 5000 an acre, but the state
does not want to dispose Of Its inter
est In the Everglades. We want to
wait for the enhancement In value
which Is sure to come"

SEEK PIRATE GOLD.
Author and Editor on Treasure Quest
in Louisiana.

Hunt for the treasure the pirate,
Jean LaFitte, is supposed to have
buried in the swamp wilds Of Louisi-
ana during his successful operation
on the gulf coast has been renewed.
Charles Tenney Jackson, novelist,
and Frederick w. Mckenzie, editor
of La FOllette's magazine, left New
Orleans for the swamps, where they
said they would try to find the treas
ure.
A story accredited to Jackson is
that in 1911 he met in Louisiana an
old moss picker to whom he became
greatly attached. Just before the old
man died he is reported to have given
Jackson rude map showing the To-
cation of the treasure. With this
map Jackson and Mckenzie say they
will try to find the hidden gold.
Louisiana historians generally
agree that Jean LaFitte doubtless
buried great deal Of gold somewhere
in the swamps, but none of it ever
was found, and from time to time the
search is renewed.

DUEL WITHSWORDS
BEFORE THE MOVIES
Frenchmen Have Typical
Encounter i.
ONE WOUNDED IN ARM
Contest Was Witnessed by Literary
and Dramatic Men, Reporters, Pho
tographers and Moving Picture OPP
erators-Wives on Scene.

A sword duel fought at Paris be-
tween Jacques Richepin, son Of Jean
Richepin, the Immortal" and Pierre
Frondaie, author Of play now being
performed In Paris, resulted in the
wounding of M. Frondaie.
The quarrel arose out of an Incl
dent in the lobby of a theater.
Madame Frondaie, 1t Is alleged, made
cutting remarks to Jacques Richie
pins wife, known as Madame Cora
Laparcerie, who is cO-manager Of the
theater.
Nj. Frondaie took full responsible
ity for his wife's comments, and was
thereupon challenged to fight by NJ.
Richepin.
The encounter took place on the
lawn of house in the suburb of
Neuilly. More than hundred nota-
BILE literary and dramatic men watch
ed the combat from behind hedges
and windows, while numerous report
ers, photographers and moving pic
ture operators occupied loft over
looking the lawn.
The wives of both principals ap-
peared on the scene, but were, not al
lowed to watch the combat. They
remained on the road outside In their
automobiles, where they were sur
rounded by crowds of women friends.
They could hear the sounds of the
clashing Of swords from where they
sat.
During the first bout neither COM
batant was touched.
In the second, however, M. Richie
pins sword penetrated M. Frohdaie's
forearm, and the engagement was
brought to an end.
Jean Richepin then embraced his
son, and his wife threw herself into
his arms, while Madame Frondale
helped the surgeon to dress her hus-
bands wound.
The combatants left the ground
without being recOnciled.
