CASE COMES TO MARION COUNTY

At Inverness Saturday, after hear
ing the argument of counsel in the
case of Albert V. Hough, accused OF
wife murder, Judge Bullock decided
that the next trial should be held
in Marion county The trial will be-
gin Sept. Is.
Hough killed his wife at their
home near Tavares over two years
ago. AS the feeling against him was
bitter in his home county, the case
was taken to Citrus, where it was
been tried four times, each trial re-
sulting in a disagreement
Hough's lawyers, chief counsel of
whom is Mr. r. B. Bullock, did not
want the case to come to this county,
their. chief reason being newspaper
publicity, an account of the murder
having been published in the Star,
and various references having been
made to the case later.
1t would be rather difficult matter
to find in Marion county jury made
up of men who do not read the Star,
as in Ocala everybody reads the
daily, and there is not a postoffice
in the county to which a bundle of
weeklies doesn't go every week. Tt
is the law, and very good law, that
a man who forms his opinion of an
alleged crime thru what he reads in
a newspaper is thereby disqualified
from jury duty.
The Star has already expressed it's
opinion on this subject, both in print
and on the witness stand. Newspa-
per reports, unless written by a man
who is an eye witness of the act he
records, cannot be accepted as evil
dence, and no Intelligent man will
form a fixed opinion or allow his
judgement to be biased by what he
reads in any publication.
If Hough's attorneys will do their
best to obtain a jury made up of the
most intelligent and fair-minded
men in Marion county, there is little
doubt that their client will receive

V. Hough, well-known naval stores

ably expressed as 10 what the mem
0ers OF that honorable body have
been engaged at since their appoint-
ment that they were not advised as
10 what was going on Immediately in
their department
While il is true that the comp
troller fixes the valuations on rail-
road and telegraph lines it is true al
so that the commission is charged
with the general administration of
the tax laws.
The letter printed in another col
umn today is almost naive in its in
nocence and confession Of ignorance.
and the question naturally arises if
the commissioners are in thorough
manner qualified to hold the respon-
sible positions for which they are
drawing $4,000 each per annum from
the state with an expense allowance.
Along with the letter in reference
Is statement from the tax assessor
of Hillsborough county that ex-Gov-
.ernor Jennings has pronounced in
valid the act creating the tax COM
mission. His reasons are sufficient
if substantiated to knock the law out
were the test made
The Reporter-Star is not opposed
to a tax cmmission whose work would
justify the opinion that the members
were we'll qualified and engaged in a
systematic and honest effort to Sc
cure the equalization OF taxes. But
the first years work OF the commits
sion justiffes no such belief, and
since the men composing the COM
mission are political appointees who
have failed to prove alertness or abil-
ity in any considerable measure and
will likely succeed themselves, it be-
comes a matter of much public inter
est that judicial test of the act be
made.

LATE IN LEARNING

Joe Reese of the Orlando Repor-
ter-Star seems determined to stir
things up. The following from his
pen, or his typewriter, doesn't speak
we'll for the state tax commission
The Star approves of Joe -stirir g
things up, even If he makes mistakes.
If officials have to explain things
once in awhile, both the officials and
the people will know more about the
state government. The Reporter
Star says:
The Reporter-Star publishes today
letter from the state tax commits
sion in which the commissioners
make the rather startling confession
that they were not advised of the
figures at which the railroads had
been assessed. They promise to look
into the matter, since our own taz
assessor has called their attention
to it, and assert that they will be
heard from.
1t will probably appear to all that
it is rather late for the tax commits
sion to be docking into this importan-
matter, and wonder may be reason

Will Knott would make an excel
lent governor so far as work and
headwork are concerned; but we do
not know about his election. Our
people like for the governor TO be a
man of presence, one who can loom
up at cornerstone layings and at big
gatherings; and how can the state s
finances get along without Knott as
comptroller?-St. Petersburg Times.
Mr.. Knott, for a fact, would not
excel in making grandstand plays to
the galleries. He doesn't know how
to do much of anything except work.

of the state Of his birth, and asked
them for his birth certificate. Being
a North Carolinfan, he had to be in
formed that until the last few weeks
North Carolina has kept no record of
the births and deaths of her citizens.
An appeal was made to his church
for records of his baptism, but ac-
cording to last reports, none was
found. Everyone has a right to
have at least the two essential facts
of his existence, his birth and his
death, officially recorded. Oregon
Health Bulletin.
The foregoing is only one reason
among the many why record of
births and deaths should be rigorous
ly kept in every state, county and
precinct. Such a system has been in
practice in England for over a cen
fury. Record is kept in every parish.
One result of this is that the census,
which is taken every five years, can
be taken in tWenty-four hours, in
stead Of requiring months, as with
us.

Tia GARD FOR COMPTROLLER

Mr.. e. p Thagard, state bank ex-

nounce that he will be a candidate
in the next democratic primary for
comptroller. Mr.. Thagard was for
many years citizen of Marion, and
was for two terms one of the county s
best tax collectors. 1t is hardly nee

EXPECTED HOME THIS EVENING

Secretary Rooney is expected home
sends the Star some Pittsburg papers
and other literature, showing that
Florida was away up front at the
meeting of the National Real Estate
Marion county its full share of pub
licity. As we stated in the Star
Saturday, the 1916 convention will
be held in Jacksonville, and we may
expect many of the leading real es-
tate men of the nation in Marion
county. A copy of the Pittsburg
Dispatch which he sends shows that
the convention of the real estate men
cut very large figure in the annals
of that city. The Dispatch devotes
whole pages to the convention, and
editorfaIIy says:
From Men Who Know
The convention of the National
Association of Real Estate Ex-
changes, including delegates from all
sections of this country and Canada,
offers an opportunity for securing
expert opinions on business condi
tions and prospects which the Dis
patch reports this morning. Every
one will agree that the real estate
men are among those best qualified
to speak on this subject because
their business places them in direct
touch with every factor in the situa-
tion from the men of millions to the
homeseeker. With practically unan-
imous voice the delegates interview
ed avow their confidence that the
country is entering an era of unpre-
cedented prosperity. There is not a
pessimist, a calamity howler, in the
list. They are all bulls on the Unit
ed States. Nor do they give this as
matter of hope or opinion; they
report conditions in their own sec
tons that force them to their con-
illusions. They take into considera-
ton the measure of employment,
the trend of trade and the tangible
factors that loom ahead. They have
reason, not a rainbow, for every
statement.

| Committee of D. A. R. Pro- cures Signatures to
 Agreement.

1 A committee composed of Mes danes J. W. Withers, c. W. Petit grew and F. c. Smart presented pc tition to number of the merchants of the city yesterday in an effort to have them close their places of busi- ness one-half day each week during the present month, so that their em- ployes may enjoy the little recess. .
 The committee is composed of members of the Pine Bluff chapter, D. A. R. They report meeting with great success and were given much encouragement by all the merchants visited. It is thought that all the merchants will readily agree to half holiday each week.
 Only three more Thursday remain in August, but it is thought by the committee that if the precedent is set this summer it will be followed in succeeding years and will prove great benefit to clerks and other employees in the stores. Last summer Mrs. Frank Thompson and Mrs. F. E. Renfrow visited the merchants and had them close their their places at 6 o'clock. The business men readily agreed and the custom was followed l this year.

TWENTY BODIES
 WRECK VICTIMS
 ARE IDENTIFIED
One of the Motor Car Pas sengers Tells of Harrow
 ing Experience.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 6.-Twenty of the , thirty-eight bodies recovered from the debris of last nights wreck at Tipton Ford, Mo, when a Kansas City Southern passenger train and gaso- line motor car collided, had been identified today. Every train coming to Neosho, where the dead were taken, carried scores of relatives and friends of the victims. Many of the bodies were fearfully burned.
 The motor car left Joplin yesterday afternoon crowded with persons en route to Eureka Springs, Ark. The motor had orders to await at Tipton Ford, ten miles south, for the passen- ger train. The order was unheeded.
 William Drury of Webb City, Mo-, told the story of the wreck here to- day.
 'We were running about thirty-five miles an hour" he said, when sud denly there was terrific impact which was followed almost immedi- ately by the explosion of the gasoline reservoir. By the time I crawled ou, of the wreck, both the motor car and the train. fed by the burning gasoline seemed sheet of flame. Added to this, there were the shrieks of the in jured and dying. Many persons pin ned beneath the wreckage cried to bt released or killed rather than face a death by fire.
 Fourteen men were riding ln the smoker, and I heard of only one who escaped"
 The wreck was said by railroad of ficials to be the first in the fifteer years history of the railroad gaso line motor car in the United States causing heavy loss of life, that was due primarily to the type of car. The huge gasoline supply tank for tht cars big motor burst. saturating tho imprisoned passengers. Then the gas oline caught fire.
 Lova Eshelman of Dewey, Okla.. 12-year-old boy, attempted to breal away from his rescuers and re-ente the burning car when he found hi mother was missing. He had been il the extreme rear of the motor car ant was thrown to one side of the tract by the shock.
 Bodies of many of the dead wer' almost consumed by the fire, ant many persons pinioned beneatl wreckage sustained severe burns il addition to the wounds.
 Complete Identification of the dea' will have ao await a canvass of thos who escaped.
