BRINGS IN EVELYN'S NAME
Special by United Press Wire.


New York, July 1.-THE fate Of
Harry K. Thaw, convicted slayer of
Stanford White, who is endeavoring
to gain his freedom from the clutches
of the law In this state, is now in the
hands of the jury. Indications were
that the jury would not be hasty in
reaching a decision, and belief has
been expressed here that it's delibera-
tion will be lengthy. The state an
nounced this afternoon that in event
of verdict favorable to Thaw, it
would AXE an appeal Immediately.
job B. Stanchtield, counsel for
Thay y.---sffnifftsed1 up for the defense
until after o'cfoSthE. this afternoon.
You are confronted VIII the
problem of deciding whether-1enns4
man, who shows traces of hereditary
insanity, is sane or insane" began
Cook in his address. II remind you
of your duty as citizens and fathers.
This same man, this self styled
protector of innocent girls, travelled
over Europe with Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, to whom he was not married.
You have this man, with all his
high ideas of girlhood, twice hiding
behind a woman's skirts, stained
with the blood of Stanford White"
During Cooks bitter attack or
him Thaw sat apparently unmoved
Cook at times leaned toward Thaw,
shaking his finger at him. When
Cook finished his arguments at
taken and then John B. Stanchfeld,
Thaw's chief counsel, began to sum
up for Thaw.
John B. StanchfieId in his sum-
ming up for Thaw impressed on the
jury the fact that Thaw was not
committed to Matteawan as a pun
ishment because a man acquitted of
crime could not be punished.
There With Touching Plea.
Council for the state has dwelt
sarcastically on the travelling of
Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit as his mis-
tress. She was a slip of a girl If
teen years old, her dresses to her
shoe tops and her hair hangind down
her back when she fell into the
clutches of Stanford White. Gentle
men | want to say to you that there
is difference as wide as that separat-
ing hemispheres between man who
ruined an innocent young girl and a
man who has mistess. For his re-
lations with this girl every red
blooded man will admit that Thaw
made as great reparation as possi-
BILE for man to make to a woman
under those circumstances, he mar
ried her, loved her and gave her ev-
erything he could.

RIGHT MATERIAL FOR
GOOD ROADS

l hope this agitation for good
roads that has swept through Flor
ida will be kept up; believe it will
be. Progressive Polk county is in
line and it seems certain will bond
for two million dollars to be used
for good roads through every part
of the county.
l believe that one reason for Polk
County being slow in the matter has
been because many people believe
we have not yet found the right ma
terial Alphalt, brick and concrete
are all right when properly laid,
but expensive on account of the long
haul of material. The Railroad
Commission of Florida is being ask
ed to reduce the rate of road mater
ial on the ground that so much is
now being imported into Florida
that the railroads can afford to make
better rates.
Our only native materials seem to
be clay, lime rock, shell, mari rock
and of course the sand that may be
used in making the sand-oil road.
Mari rock is plentiful in Dade
county and seems to be quite pre-
! valent in Lee and the lower part of
De Soto. Shell is abundant along
the east coast; lime rock is cheap
| in Marion county and clay can be
had in nearly all of the counties of
central and northern Florida. When
oiled on top and properly cared for
the mari and lime rock roads seem
to be satisfactory and reasonably
cheap. Clay makes the most beau
tiful roadway in the world when
| first laid but soon wears out and if
not given constant attention is a
wreck inside of year where travel
| is heavy Sand-oil roads have not
been in use long enough to enable
us to state with positiveness as to
their lasting power, but from what
we do know of them we would say
that they are the equal of the mari
or lime rock road. and far superior
to the clay road.
i So far as we know the concrete
/ has been very little used for cOun-
TRY roads here in Florida. We have
seen some short stretches of it near
Jacksonville and can sa that il
q, was not a good state of preserva-

tion but we have seen it stated
somewhere that the concrete was
not properly mixed. Such roads
are a success in California and ought
to be here in Florida under proper
conditions and with honest super
vision in the construction. Con-
crete is used in some cities, notably
at Barlow, where it SENS to form
the ideal roadway.
For permanent roads brick is be-
ing used more extensively in Florida
than any other material. While we
have plenty of clay in Florida 1t is
not the type of clay from which
paving brick is made and so we
must import from Baltimore and
Philadelphia at big expense. Tt is
the custom to lay brick without
binding on the lose sand, and
where this is done the roadway soon
becomes uneaven, though this may
be remedied by relaying. A brick
road on a hard surface and bound
together with cement would make
an everlasting, smooth highway, but
the cost is appalling. - Florida

DAINTY LITTLE DOLLY
WANTS A FLA. HUSBAND

When Ponce de Leon first hit the
trail island from the Florida coast
in search of the fountain of youth
he little dreamed that the Mayor of
Jacksonville, at this later date,
might wish that he had have found
it so that he could drink of its re-
storing waters and thenceforth set

THE WIDTH OF COUNTY ROADS

The discussion which has been
going on through the columns OF
the Reporter-Star concerning tree
planting on the roadsides,-- and
branching from this the suggestion
that the country roadways should
be wider brings a pertinent subject
before the people; one which should
be taken up and acted upon at the
earliest practicable moment. Mr..
Woodruff thinks the right of way
should be at least forty feet and
Mr.. Gore amends this suggestion by
making it sixty feet. 1t is much
easier to suggest than to perform,
as we know; and it is not to be
thought that those in authority are
not alive to the needs of the situa-
tion because such provisions have
not been made. But the earlier steps
are taken to provide sixty-foot
highway through Florida the less
difficult will it be to secure rights
of way. This is suggestion that
the Central Florida Highway Asso-
citation should take under advise
ment.--Orlando Reporter-Star.

As is usual in the administration
of justice in this country, the first
step in the trial of Mendenhall for
the murder of Mrs. Elliot and her
daughter was to postpone the case.
We don't know whether Mendenhall
is guilty or not and don't feel
called on to express any opinion on
the subject, but it would seem that
a lapse of ten days after the arrest
of the man would give his lawyers
plenty of time to at least prepare
for a preliminary investigation.
The pulse of court house justice Of
ten beats very feebly when there
are plenty of good lawyers to assist
in regulating it's speed, and that's
one reason among others why the
pulse of the mob huns like the mo-
tor of a high-powered runaway car
when 1t takes a hand in admins
tering justice or its reverse, as the
case may be. Over in Great Britain
or up in Canada Mendenhall would
either be hanged or finally acQuit-
ted in few weeks time. 1t may take
years to reach either of those con-
illusions in Florida.

may be raised for home consump-
