SUPREME COURT
DECIDES SANTA
ROSA CO. CASE.
Confirms Decision of Judge
Wolfe in Declaring w. M.
Davidson Regularly Nom
mated for Representative
in the Legislature.

The supreme court of Florida on
Wednesday, handed down its opinion
in the Santa Rosa county election case,
which involved the question as 10
whether T. J. Fem or W. NJ. Davidson
was the legally nominated representa-
primary held in that county on June
End, last The supreme court decided
in favor of Mr.. Davidson and this
ends one OF the hardest fought legal
battles growing out Of an election in
Santa Rosa county.
1t will be remembered that the
county canvassing board of primary
elections of Santa Rosa county met
and canvassed the returns from the
late primary, and declared that w. A.
Mcleod and T. ]. Fem were the duly
and legally nominated representatives
in the legislature from that county.
Mr.. Davidson, through his attorneys,
Clark & Magaha and John p. Stokes
brought three separate Inandamus pro-
essdings before Judge Wolfe praying
that the court direct the canvassing
board to meet again and declare that
Davidson and Mcleod were the proper
nominees instead of Fem and NC
Leod. Judge Wolfe decided in favor
Of Davidson and instructed the can
vassing board to declare Davidson the
proper nominee in place of Fem. The
board appealed from Judge
Wolfes decision to the supreme court.
On Tuesday the court convened at Tai
lahassee, after the summer vacation.
and probably the first case decided by
the court was the Davidson Fem case.
The names Of w. A. Mcleod and
W. NJ Davidson will go upon the off,
ciaI ballots at the regular election in
as the nominees of The
democratic party for representatives
in the legislature of 1914, from Sanca
Rosa county.

Italy Will Not
I axe up Arms in
Present Conflict
nv ASsOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 15-The Italian
governments policy in regard to the
European war was made plain today
by Ambassador Macchi di Cellere. lie
declared Italy would not take up arms
unless forced to do so by some act
that threa tened her own safety.
Although officially a member of The
triple alliance, the ambassador de-
clared his country did not intend TO
endanger its neutrality by yielding to
the influence of any outside powers to
take sides in the conflict.
This attitude of positive neutrality,
Mr.. Di Ce1lere said in all probability
would continue to be upheld even IN
case of minor changes in the govern
ment.
The ambassador explained that re-
ported troop movements in his coun-
try were not in the nature of ofrense.
The return of the colonials from Tr1-
poll, he stated, merely was part Of
previously contemplated plan for two
year volunteer service in the colonies.
The present class, having served its
required period. is returning to Italy
for discharge.

GREAT ACTIVITY
IN SEVEN DEVILS
Many Changes Take Place
and New Properties Are
Being Opened.
Capital News Special service>


Weiser, May 1.-THE Seven Devils
mining district lying to the north of
Weiser is taking on renewed activity,
according to ]. A. Reynolds who has
just returned from an extended stay
there while working his property. He
declares this will be one of the busiest
seasons the district has experienced in
several years. Many changes have
taken place during the past few
months and a number of new prop
critics will be opened up.
The most extensive developments
now under way are at the Red Ledge,
Azurite and Blue Jacket. The Red
Ledge which Is located on Deep creek,
IS owned by Boise people and was re-
Gently bonded by eastern capitalists
who are planning to operate on an ex-
tensive scale. Engineers are now
making Investigations and completing
plans. A vast sum will be spent this
season in development work.
At the Azurite which was recently
leased by Denver people, preparations
are under way for the construction of
a 25-ton concentrating plant. A force
of men has been employed all winter
and as a result large amount of high
grade ore is blocked out ready for the
mill.
The Blue Jacket which is one of the
Oldest properties in the district, has
been operating all winter long in
charge of Kleinschmidt & Miller and
is showing UP remarkably well. A tun-
mel is being driven to tap the old work
ings. This property has been one of
the camps heaviest producers of high
grade copper
Mr.. Reynolds states 1t is generally
understood that the well known Arkan-
sas mine at Landore, which is owned
by Portland people and the Lewisohns,
is about to resume operations. The
property was recently visited by ex-
perts who made very thorough inves-
LEGATIONS. The Arkansas is an i'm
mense body of largely low grade ore
and could be profitably worked were
proper facilities Installed, which 1t is
believed is about to be done.
