nival.
The visitors were met at the sta
tion Sunday morning by committees

in automobiles to the lodge rooms,

cipal points of interest were seen. A

PROMINENT VISITOR IN THE CITY

DR.. James Russell Price of Iowa, a
noted physician, scientist and lectur-
err spent Monday in Ocala, the guest
of his cousins, Mr.. and Mrs. r. T. Ad-
ans, at their pretty home in this city.
DIR. Price was en- route to South
Florida to fill number of chautauqua
engagements for lectures. Among
his subjects are the following: Euge-
MICS, Between Two Worlds, Science
and Philosophy and number of 9TH
ers. Among other encomiums the fol-
lowing has been said of this distin-
guished lecturer:
"The intense desire by the audience
to have DIR. Price continue another
hour manifested itself at the close
of each lecture, and assures me that
others enjoyed his talks as we'll as
myself His manner OF portraying
Truth is so vividly different from 9th
er speakers that it is complete meal
with dessert thrown in, but still
leaves a person hungry for more"

coNLEY BEING TRIED AS ACCES.
sorry TO MURDER CHARGE
(By Associated 'oress.l

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 23-James Con-
ley, colored, was placed on trial here
today, charged with being an acces-
sorry to the murder OF Mary Phagan.
Conley pleaded not guilty.
The jury was quickly completed,
and the introduction of testimony be-
gan with the reading of the records in
the trial of Leo NJ. Frank, who was
convicted of the murder. This occu-
pied several hours.
The testimony of Conley, in which
he said he helped to dispose of the
body after Frank had killed the girl,
was also read.
The attorney for the defense will
contend that this did not constitute
an act as accessory to murder.

MORE PARTICULARS OF. THE
DUNNELLON FIRE

The Tribune of Monday contains
the further particulars of the Dunnel-
Ion fire, which destroyed the home of
Mr.. B. F. Duke, while that gentleman
was on a business visit to this city.
The Tribune correspondent: says:
Mrs. Duke was at home, sick, hav-
ing been in bad health for several
months. Only the cook was with her
in the house at the time. Mrs. Duke
managed to get 10 the telepkCne, and
notified the fire department, a volun-
teer one, with a very made iu1te
equipment, which was soon on the
ground and everything possible was
done to save the building, but to no
avail.
The fire department was unable to
cope with the flames, and the beauti-
full cottage is in ashes. Mrs. Dukes
piano, with quite a good deal of fur
niture, was saved The building was
worth $500 or $4,000. with only a
small amount of insurance-$1500-
on The building, and none on the fur
niture.
The effect upon Mrs. Duke is un-
certain. Her family physician very
luckily was in town and soon at her
bedside in the home of Mr.. T. E. Kib-
ler, where she was taken, and every
precaution which skill could provide
was taken and it is hoped that she
will not suffer any bad effect from
the excitement.
While the fire was raging it was
discovered that the Methodist house
of worship was on fire, but that was
soon under control. The home of
Mrs. E. E. Bargainnier, close by the
church, also caught fire, which was
discovered in time, and was soon put
out.
In the midst of the excitement the
announcement was made that the
home of r. Z. Lindsay, three blocks
away, was on fire, and run for that
point was made in schedule time.
and that blaze was also soon subdued
with very little damage to the build
ing.
The home of T. ]. Zimmerman was
in very great danger for a time, as
was also the home of T. VI. Kibler
and the Bargainnier home and the
Methodist and Presbyterian churches,
these being directly in the path Of
the wind.

$3.50 A YEAR

1t is with deepest regret that we
are called upon to chronicle the
death of Mrs. Lucretia P. Pike, which
occurred on Monday afternoon at the
Marion county hospital. where she
was moved several weeks ago.
She has passed out of the strickland
into the glorious hfeland, gently and
quietly, as she lived, entering the
great beyond as a worker with her
arms full of sheaves garnered just be-
fore the twilight of life ere the night
had fallen.
Her friends and relatives have lost
friend, but her memory will remain
with them like sweet incense. In her
death the devoted sister and sons
sorrow not alone. for likewise many
warm friends sorrow with them.
Mrs. Pike was daughter of Mr..
Pearson, a pioneer citizen of Orange
Springs, in this county, and she was
about SIS years of age. Her first hus-
band, Mr.. William Cox, was a promi-
nent resident of this city for a num-
Der of years. He was Confederate
veteran, and served under General
Dickson, being orderly sergeant for
his company. He died twenty-six
years ago.
Mrs. Pixies second husband, Prof.
w. S. Pike, of this city, died nearly
three years ago.
Mrs. Pike is survived by three sons,
Messrs. William, Eugene and Lee Cox,
and one sister, Mrs. e. p. Moody, OF
Lake Weir, two brothers and one sis
ter having preceded her to the grave
some years ago.
Mrs. Moody and Mr.. Lee Cox were
with Mrs. Pike when she passed
away, and Mr. Eugene Cox arrived
from Atlanta in time for his mothers
funeral
The funeral of Mrs. Pike was
held Tuesday at eleven o'clock
from her residence on Fort King ave-
nue., conducted by Rev. ]. G. Glass OF
Grace Episcopal church. The inter
ment was at Orange Springs at
4 o'clock in the afternoon, the fun
eral cortege leaving for that place
over the Ocala Northern at 1:15
o'clock.
Mrs. Pike was a charming woman,
sincere, kindly and gentle, and her
beautiful influence has touched many
lives. For the past few years she has
been a semi-invalid, and has led .
quiet life, but has kept warm circle
Of friends about her. The grave Is
not the end Of the influence Of such
q woman as was Mrs. Pike, and she
win long be remembered BY her
friends.

I To the Tax Assessors OF the Several
Counties of Florida:
1 Gentlemen-The tax commission.
since its organization last July, has
] been working to fiEd the best plan to
adopt to get all assessors for the year
1914 to assess all property on uni
form basis, one county with another.
On investigation we found that here
tofore property had not been assessed
at a uniform rate, varying from 10 per
cent to 75 per cent. of its true cash
value This was in violation of law,
but was done by custom and consent
among the assessors.
The tax commission, knowing that
these conditions existed, suggested
to the assessors in a convention in
Tallahassee in November that they
all agree and pledge themselves to
assess all property for the year 1914
on the same basis of not less than so
per cent of it's true cash value. We
believed at that time, and SO advised
the assessors, and still believe that,
under the conditions now existing,
which cannot be changed at once,
that it was not best to jump to full
cash value this year; but the tax as
SCISSORS failed to adopt our suggestion
y; 70 win
tion or making any agreement as to a
uniform assessment. This left us
with nothing to do but instruct them
to comply with the law and assess at
full cash value.
Since then the assessors met in con-
vention in Jacksonville, on February
2nd and passed resolutions adopting
our previous suggestion, agreeing to
assess all property for the year 1914
on a basis of so per cent of true cash
value We believe that this, which is
in line with the suggestion made by
us to the tax assessors while they
were, at our request, in convention
in Tallahassee in November, will be
better for the tax payers under the
exciting conditions, and we approve
this action and withdraw our order
for full cash value for the year 1914
and notify all assessors to assess all
property for 1914 at so per cent. OF
true cash value in compliance with
this pledge and resolution.
! We suggest that all boards of coun-
! ty commissioners and school boards
arrange their special levies SO as to
work to full cash value assessment
later, as required by law.
The tax commission will visit the
different counties in the state and
confer with the assessors and use all
, means in their power to see that prop
erty in every county is valued and as
sessed on as near uniform basis as
possible. We hope every assessor in
the state and every board OF county
commissioners will work harmonious
| lly with us to the end that each coun-
ty will bear its just portion of taxes
necessary to successfully finance the
state and county governments. We
hope that all assessors will use dill
gence to get all taxable property on
the tax books, as it is unjust for some
to pay taxes and others escape when
all are receiving the same benefits
from the government.
Respectfully,
JOHN NEEL,
JOHN S. EDWARDS,
r. J. PATTERSON,
Tax Commission.
