CROSSTIES In CARLOADS
Coming Through Ocala for Points
on the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway

1tSllANdy
An unusually heavy movement of
crossties has, been going through
Ocala on the A. C.. L. Railway for
the past week, commencing Sunday
morning. Two or three heavy train
loads of ties have gone south each
day. Most of the trains are so
heavy as to require two engines to
pull them up the grade through
town. The ties are all treated with
creosote and are from the large
crostie plants of the company just
above Gainesville. They are being
distributed to different places in the
southern part of the state. When
questioned as to the shipments, one
of the Coast Line boys said the pres
ident of the road had a dream that
they all burned at Gainesville and
| their removal from that point was
| ordered.

the very excellent entertainment
they are presenting to the public.
The opening scene was almost as
elaborate as a road show, and the
songs, solos, jokes and quartet
numbers almost as good and surely
as keenly enjoyed, especially the To-
cal hits. The olio program was good,
and altogether the show was AL.

REBUKES FOR BRYAN
In SENATE SPEECHES
Criticisms Made Because Of His
Interference i'm the
McNally Case.

WAsHISoroS. April 13-Sharp criti-
cism of Secretary Bryan by Democratic
Senators was heard in the executive ses-
sion late this afternoon.
The trouble arose from the alleged in
reference by the state Department in
an effort to have the Senate reconsider
It's action in rejecting the nomination OF
James e. Mentally of Pittsburg to he Con-
sui at Nuremberg Bavaria. Tho nomina-
ton was rejected last week Ivy vote of
"a to 49, Several Democratic Senators.
notably John Sharp Williams OF Missis-
sippi and Hoke Smith OF Georgia, OPP
posed the confirmation.
Senator Sheppard of Texas made che
motion to-day to reconsider. II developed
that several Democratic Senators had
changed their attitude tsward the Ne.
Nally nomination since the Senate voted
on the question OF confirming or rejecting
it. The vote on the motion to reconsider
was 81 to "a As this fell short OF a
quorum the case still remained unsettled.
Word came from the White House
through an Administration Senator that
the President had been greatly disap-
pointed because the Senate failed to con-
firm the nomination of McNaiy.
M,Nully was rejected by the Senate
on charges lodged against him by ]. y.
Newman. an American living In China.
who alleged that while McNally was Con-
sui ut Nankln in 1909 he took charge
or negotiations for the sale Of private
property belonging to Newman to the
Chinese Government and did not turn
over To- Newman the full purchase price
paid by the Chinese Government FOR the
property.
ON the witness stand before n sub
committee Of the Senate McNally said the
difference between the purchase price and
the amount turned over to Newman rep
resented n 'rakeoT. taken by Chinese
officials.
There were other charges that Nc
NallN's conduct as Consul had not been
entirely regular. These charges wer,
preferred by Consul General Cheshire
who made an Inspection of the United
States consulates in China IN 1909.

TO REPLY TO BRYAN'S
TOLLS PLANK CHARGE
House Democrats Resent State
mcnt 1t Was Slipped
Into Platform.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.--Many Demo-
Gratis In Congress. especially those who
served on the resolutions committee of the
Baltimore convention. resented Secretary
Of State Bryan's statement charging that
the free tolls plank had been slipped into
the party platform without the delegates
knowing what It really meant Some OF
these Democrats Will reply to Mt. Bryan
on the floor OF Congress. The Bryan
statement was interpreted here rs hitting
Senator O'Gorman hardest. because he Ia
supposed to have fathered the free tolls
plank The Senator declined to make any
comment to-day.
The Senate Committee on Interoceanic
Canals formally settled down TO the con-
sideration of the repeal Of the tolls ex-
emption to-day.
Ernest r. Chamberlain. Commissioner
Of Navigation, said that out Of the 2&.765
ships engaged In American coestwise COM
merce only 500 were capable OF being used
continually and probably through the
canal. and that OF these more than 30 per
cent. would be excluded from the canal
by reason OF their ownership by a railroad
or an alleged trust.
At the afternoon session OF the commit
tee Prof. 4. y. Huebnor OF the Univ ersity'
Of Pennsylvania. the expert employed last
year by the House Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries In its Investigation
Of the alleged shipping trust, was heard.
Prof Huebner told the committee that
the middienan. the ship owner and the
shipper would absorb whatever profit there
was superadded to their normal profit
through tho remission OF tolls. He was
convinced that the consumer would never
see the benefits.

Transshi pments.

WAsHINGToN, April i3-The Supreme
Court devoted only about forty-five min
utes to-day TO delivering opinions. 1t af-
firned a Judgment from the Supreme
Court of Iowa unfolding the Legality of an
order issued by the Iowa Railway Conn
mission against the Chicago. Milwaukee
and ST. Paul Railroad involving the re-
shipment of coal carried over the road
from Eastern points and transhipped at
Davenport. Ia, a distributing point.
The Iowa commission has made a rate
on the coal from Davenport 10 local points
within Iowa The railroad resisted the
order. contending that the shipment was
an Interstate transaction because the coal
had not been removed from the cars in
which II had been carried from the East
after reaching Davenport before being re-
billed to the local points in Iowa.
The Supreme Court OF Iowa issued q
mandatory order against the railroad di-
rectng 1t to obey tho order OF the Iowa
Railway Commission and carry the coal
between the two Iowa points for the rate
nxcd by the State commission.
The State law OF Arkansas which i'm.
poses a double liability on railroads on
account of the killing OF live stock where
settlement is not made within a given
time was upheld In an opinion read by
Justice Mckenna Justice Holmes and
