HARSH MEASURES
FOR VAGS IN JAX

Jacksonville, Dec. 22.-The sher-
ifs Office and the police department
have started vigorous campaisns
against vagrants. who are said to
be more numerous here now than
ever before At the first the au-
thorities were disposed to deal toll
erantly with this class on account
of stringent financial conditions.
However, city and county officers,
when discussing the matter yester-
day, decided that harsh measures
were necessary. 1t was said that
there was no reason why hundreds
of hoboes and vagrants should i'm
pose upon the citizens of Jackson
vile and many arrests will no doubt
follow this decision.

ELK OF 739 POUNDS
INITIATED IN JAX LODGE

Jacksonville, Dec. 22.-Jack
Echart, of Americus, Ca, Is now an
Elk. This announcement would be
most commonplace were it not for
the fact that Jack Is the largest man
in the world and he has the goods
to prove it. He only tips the scales
at 739 pounds, but he is rather
young and has hopes of taking on
more flesh as he grows up. Mr.. Ech-
art was elected a member of the
Americas, Ga. Lodge of Elks, No.
752, but owing to the fact that he is
now in this city with the fair which
is to be given by te Patriotic Sons Of
America between Dec. 22 and Jan.
2 he was unable to be handled by the
home folks. The Americas lodge
asked the local lodge to confer the
degrees. Quite large number of the
members were present Saturday ev-
ening to watch the work. Mr.. Ech-
art entered the lodge room as all
good candidates should but he re-
quired two chairs when he sat down.
Before the work began he showed
some medals which he had won in
fat mems contests and soon con-
vincsd the members that he was at
the top of the heap when it came to
size. Despite his great weight he
gets about with comparative ease
and seems to enjoy life as we'll as
the ordinary mortal.
