A tremendous amount of interest was
manifested in the opening session o1
the first convention Of the Florida
| Equal Suffrage league, which was held
Monday afternoon, beginning at two
| thirty o'clock in the auditorium Of the
| San Carlos hotel
The great hall was ablaze with
suffrage yellow which seemed to re-
feet the glowing spirit of the gather
ing, for seldom has 50 great an amount
of interest been displayed at any con-
vention. The room was crowded and
each of the many splendid speeches
were listened to intensely and greeted
with warm applause
The great audience rose as America
was sung and then the impressive in
vocation was given by DR.. A. S. Mof-
fatt, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. Then came the welcoming
address by Mayor Adolf Greenhut, who
spoke briefly but well. He turned over
the city OF Pensacola to the suffra-
gists and won their hearty applause
when he came out openly for the cause
which they are espousing.
President c. E. Dobson then gave
the welcome speech in behalf of the
Chamber OF Commerce. His talk was
interesting and full of historical sig
nificance, for he spoke of the three flags
of foreign nations, the English, Spanish
and French, which had foated over
Pensacola as he extended the right
hand of fellowship to these, her latest
invaders.
Mrs Alfred Moog, gave a splendid
talk, representing the Civic League in
her welcome address as did Colonel
Frank L. Mayes, editor of The Journal,
who spoke in behalf of the press of
Pensacola
The Bar Association had no less a
distinguished a representative than
Hon. W. A. Blount, Florida's greatest
lawyer. Though Mr. Blount's speech
was a conservative one, he declared
that no one could doubt for a moment
the ultimate success of the movement,
of what ones belief might
be.
DR.. Louis DEM. Blocker, welcomed
the visitors for the Escambia County
Association, and then came
the most interesting part Of the session,
the opening proper of enc convention,
Mrs A. z. McDavid turning over the
to Dr. Mary Stafford, Of
Orlando, president OF the Florida
Equal Suffrage League.
Mrs. McDayid was a charming refu- |
tation of the statement that is often |
made In the south, that the suffragist |
Is either a trump or discontented |
woman, for charmingly gowned, gra- |
cious In manner and bearing herself |
with distinguished poise and dignity |
she made an impression which no one |
who witnessed the opening of the ses-
sions can fail to remember.
Mrs. McDavid said that as Mr.. Dob |
son had mentioned the three flags |
which had foated over Pensacola, she |
wanted TO mention another which had /
waved and then been furled, the flag
II the beloved Confederacy, and the
one that now waved over great nation
he Stars and Stripes. But added TO

cal equality. bearing upon it the le-

WALKER WINS BIG
MIXUP OVER THRESHER

Two south Dickinson county men
were interested in a suit that was
tried in the district court at Salina
and which had for its point of inter-
est a mixup as to the ownership of
a thresher. Fred Klingenberg sold
to Charles Walker the thresher.
Walker, according to his allegations,
pulled the machine out to a Dick
inson, county farm and started TO
thresh. He says that the machinery
was defective, and would not do the
work. So Mr.. Walker traded the
machine as part payment for a new
machine to the Rumley Products
company. Mr.. Walker, he says, had
asked Mr.. Klingenberg what to do
with the old machine and the lat
ter replied that he could leave 1t
any old place, which was done. Then
the Altmann-Taylor company sued
Mr.. Walker, saying that 1t had a
mortgage on the old machine which
had not been settled. The mixup was
superb. The jury reported on spe-
ciaI findings, and the case went in
favor Of Mr.. Walker. He was rep
resented BY G. E. Rugh of Abilene.

BREAKS
HILL CLIMBING RECORD
Billy Carlson Goes Up Mount VIII
son, 0.41 Miles, In 20 Minutes,
1 Second

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 18.-Billy
Carlson at the wheel of stripped
Maxwell 20, broke the Mount Will
son hill climb record lowering the
former mark 13 minutes SO seconds
Carlson's time for the 9.41 miles
was 20 minutes 1 second. The old
record, held by the Stutz, was 43
minutes flat.
The summit of the mountain is
5000 feet high and the last miles
of the course were covered with soft
snow, making the climb dangerous
for any car.
Long before he could be seen, the
roar of Carlson's motor could be
heard at the summit. Nearer and
nearer the Maxwell came, then
flashed around the last turn and
finished in a shower of snow and
water.
After the finish Carlson said that
he took more chances on the emile
run than he did In the Corona road
race.
At the finish the car was a mess
of mud and dirt. The melting snow
drenched the driver and he was al
most frozen about the hands and
face at the finish. Mount Wilson is
one of the most scenic mountain
drives in southern California and is
popular with motorists!
