Important Street Improvement.

As a result of a resolution intro
duced and pressed in the city council
by Alderman B. l. Gay, an important
improvement has this week been
made at the intersection of First and
Lemon streets, under direction of City
Engineer Stallings. A storm sewer
has been run through to the river and
the pavement levels re-arr9nged SC
that water that formerly ran down
through the roadway approach to the
river, will now enter this storm seSer
through several catch basins arrang-
ed at the corners. Heretofore the wa
ter was carried to the river over the
roadway and during heavy rain
storms gullies were frequently formed
which made the passage of teams to
the Clyde Line warehouse almost i'm,
possible. By tic raising of the levels
pedestrians can go from the walks TO
the pavements without taking a step
down,
The Palatka news and advertiser., 1915-09-03

William H. Jackson, solicitor for
Hillsborough county, has given it as
his opinion that the Davis liquor law
which goes into effect the first Of the
coming month will prohibit clubs now
in the habit of dispensing liquors to
members and guests from continuing
the practice. This of course will af-
feet the Elks, Moose and other clubs
now general throughout the State of
Florida. Under this decision Sheriff
Spencer of Tampa has said that he
will act on the opinion of the solicitor.
On the other hand the Palm Beach
Post, in review of the law, states
that the law does not affect clubs, for
the reason that under the club license
law of Florida the service of supply
ing liquors to members and non-resi-
dent guests does not come under the
definition of sale. If this be true then
clubs supplying liquors to members
may be expected to spring up in all
parts of the state and become a great
er nuisance than the saloons. Such
a condition will hasten the day of alb
solute prohibition.

PALATKA HAS TIGERS"
NOT 50 DUCED> BLIND
But That a Vigilent U. S.
Revenue Officer Can
Locate Them.

Deputy U. S. Revenue Collector P.
M. Hagan, always known in Palatka
as a fearless and vigilent officer,
spotted two "blind tigers" in this
town last week and collected of them
the amount of Uncle Sans annual
license together with the penalty at
tached for doing bus,less contrary to
the revenue laws of the United States
II came down on these men today
said ~Mr. Hagan, "and say, if | was
not sworn to secrecy, | could give you
story that would be real reading
1t would surprise the people to Learn
who these men who are selling whis
ky are. But am sworn to secrecy
no revenue officer may tell the names
of these tigers, provided they pay up
and these men not only paid tht
amount of the revenue licenses, bu
they paid the so per cent penalty at
tached. Had they not done so they
would have been arrested and theil
names would then have been made
public"
1t does seen bit inconsistent il
the United States Withholding tn,
names of law breakers from state of
ficials, but that seems to be the poll
cy Of the federal government. Put
nam county has the "blind tigers;
every little while one or two negr'
tigers are caught by the county -
city officials, but there are others
evidently, from the story of Mr. Ha
gan, who are not caught.

Popular Winter Visitor Dies.

Word was received at the Saratoga
Hotel last week of the death at his
home in Iowa of Mr.. c. 0. Maltby, a
venerable but active and decidedly
popular gentleman who spent last
winter in this city, a guest at the
Saratoga Hotel. Mr.. Maltby was
here in company with his friend, Rev.
DR.. H. H. Green, a distinguished re-
tired Methodist Episcopal minister
now living at Decorah, Iowa., and the
two were seen much together about
the streets and seemed to enjoy their
stay in Palatka fully as much as
those of our citizens who came to
know them enjoyed their being here.
Mr.. Maltby was one of the big
farmers of the west and man of
considerable wealth; he was a soldier
who served through the four years
of the civil war and he had a fond
ness for the south. 1t had been his
purpose to return to Palatka the
coming. winter and his many friends
here were looking forward with pleas
ure to the greeting. But instead of
the coming greeting, they will drop
a tear to the memory of a clean and
wholesome American who has dropped
from the ranks through sheer weari-
ness and is now enjoying his we'll
earned rest in ''the palace of the
King"
The funeral of Mr.. Maltby was con-
Quoted by his lifelong friend, DR..
Green.

A City That Does Things.

The Starke Telegraph of last week
says:
"Palatka is one of the Florida ci-
ties which does things. A firm there is
now engaged in the very unusual en-
terprise for Florida city of building
a schooner so large that she will be
able to carry 100000 feet Of lumber.
The launching will soon take place
with elaborate ceremonies that will be
attended by many thousands of peo-
ule from all over the state. The Pa
latkans never neglect to make all they
can of their opportunities, and the ad
vertising the city will receive from
this event will be of incalculable
worth, while the money spent by the
sightseers will richly repay the cost
of the preparations. Another indus
try in which Palatka is unique is cam
phor production. The orchard at
Satsuma Heights, south of the city,
has now reached the stage where
there is no longer all outlay, for the
great quantities of camphor sold, ac-
cording to the papers, will soon repay
the money expended and prove the or
chard a profitable investment
Of course Palatka can obtain no
credit for the establishment cf this
great camphor farm at Satsuma
flights, eight miles south of the city,
but the city does get heap of sat
isfaction from the knowledge that
it is the only colossal enterprise of
the kind in the United States, that
il is a Putnam county enterprise, and
that under the superintendent of
Prof. w. o. Richtmann formerly of
the Smithsonian Institute, its success
has been fully demonstrated. Palat-
ka gets but a reflected credit for this
great camphor industry, and that be-
cause of its nearness to the city.
But the schooner; glory be, that's
ours, and its public launching at an
early dav, with a pretty girl to brock
the bottle on its prov and public
ceremony with speeches by Gov.
Trammell, ex-Gov. Gilchrist and 9TH
ers, will be an event in Palatka to
which the whole State, including the
editor of the Stark Telegraph-once
some punk himself in Florida politics
is invited, and not only invited, but
expected.
The Palatka news and advertiser., 1915-09-03
"Shorty" Davidson's Pardon.

The Tampa Times and other papers
in the State especially unfriendly to
Gov. Trammell have been making
digs at Florida's chief executive be-
cause of rumor that "Shorty" Da-
wilson, of High Springs, convicted
with Kelly of the murder of w. C.
Sellars of the A. c. L., at special
term of the Putnam circuit court in
June, 1909, and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, had been pardoned.
None of these papers were sure of
their facts; they have been uttering
their condemnations on rumor. The
News will give them the facts.
"Shorty" Davidson was pardoned on
August 7th, Next week The News
will give the reasons which actuated
the board of pardons in its decision.
For the present all that is necessary
to say is that the pardon was not
the work of Gov. Trammell, but was
the decision of the board, of which
the governor is but one member.
That the pardon will be a disap-
pointment to many goes without say
ing. The feeling in Palatka, where
Kelly and Davidson were tried on a
change of venue from the Alachua
circuit, is that Davidson was not ac-
tually guilty of the murder of Sellars,
he had guilty know9edge; that he is
bad man and that the State is sa-
fer with him in prison.
On the other hand there are many
who were present at the trial and who
are conversant with the facts there
brought out, who believe that David
sons life sentence was too severe.
When the men were sentenced, Kelly
made this statement to Judge Wills:
"Your honor, as for myself | accept
the sentence, but / want to say that
Mr.. Davidson is no more guilty of
this crime than any man within the
sound of my voice"
This statement of Kelly had weight
with the crowd. Many of them felt
that Davidson's sentence was severe.
Kelly and Davidson were defended
bv the late Joe STRIPPING, assisted by
Judge E. Noble Calhoun, then a young
man just entering upon the practice
of his profession.
Secretary R. A. Gray wired The
News yesterday morning that he was
sending a letter giving the basis of
action of the board of pardons in the
Davidson case. This may arrive too
Hate for publication this week.

BIDDER FOR
PALATKA'S SPOST0FF|CE
Is Westchester Engineering
Co. of White Plains,
N. Y,

AS stated exclusively in The Palat-
ka News of last week, the bids for
the construction of 'Palatka's new
post-office building were opened in
Washington on Friday last, August
9th.
The News has no information at
this writing as to whom the contract
was awarded. Its information covers
only the names of the two lowest bid
ders. 1t is more than likely, there
fore, other things being equak and be-
cause of the great difference in the
bids, that the award will be made to
the Westchester Engineering Com
pany of White Plains, N. Y. This
company has had large experience in
the construction of government
buildings.
The following are the bids.
Westchester Engineering Co.
Limestone, $39,652; sandstone, $42,-
900.
Asher & Bassford, Tampa, Fla
Limestone, $48,329; sandstone, $49,-
321.
| Postmaster Harry Cray states that
/ he has no informatioh as yet as to
the letting of the contract; that it
might have been awarded, and there
was no, special reason why he should
be notified. The only woy Rming to

Postmaster Gray stated to'>>. (,
News last week that the only repre-
sentative of contracting company
that he had any knowledge of came
from White PlainNs. N. Y, the home
of the lop5sssllesding eSmpany, and that

JAPAN DISAV0WS
THREAT TO CHINA
Premier Okuma DiSClaimS
interference with Open
Door Policy.

Toxic, Feb. 27-The japanese Pre-
mer, Count Okums, said to-day that
Japan had no intention. in present
ing its demand 20 the Chinese govern
ment, OF trespassing on the rights Of
China or interfering with the open
door policy. The desire Of Japan, he
said, was that China should attain
the real dignity Of independence and
not fall the prey Of any nation.
Count Okumas remarks we're made
to Professor Smaller Mathews, Of the
University Of Chicago, and Professor
Sydney l. Gulick, of New York, IS
they were taking leave Of the Pre-
mier They sailed for San Francisco
on the steamship Mongolia, having
completed their mission to Japan, un-
der the auspices of the Federal Coun-
ell of Churches OF Christ in America.
in the judgment Of the japanese press,
the work which they have done In
fostering cordial relations between
Japan and the United States is of his
toric significance and will prove to be
most helpful in maintaining the friend
ship Of the two nations.
Count Okuma stated 70 Professor
n
integrity and prosperity Of China not
only were to the advantage of Japan,
but that they constituted the sole
guarantee Of peace in the Orient. To
secure this peace, he said, was the
underlying motive Of Japanese dtplo-
macy Japan had no thought Of in
frinGing upon the rights Of other ma
tons. and acceptance Of her demands
by China would involve no such in
fringement.
Efforts recently have been made TO
invent some plausible reason for a dis
ruptiOn of the relations between Japan
and America" the Premier continued.
These attempts having failed, the
mischief makers now look to China as
a field in which the two powers may
be made to clash l see no reason for
such q conflict"
Count Okuma stated with emphasis
that Japan and Great Britain pos
sessed a well grounded understanding
concerning equality Of opportunity in
China and the integrity Of that ma
ton, in accordance with the well known
policy Of the United States. He be
lieved that American manufacturers
would find the Chinese markets open
10 them. Japan had no intention OF
resorting TO unfair means for the pur-
pose OF monopolizing these markets.
Professor Mathews made 100 adj
dresses during the month which he
spent in Japan. He said that he was
convinced Of the deep-rooted friend
ship Of the Japanese for America, and
could conceive of no possibility Of seri-
Gus difficulties between the two ma
tons, provided they continued TO dis
cuss with frsnkness all questions
which arise between them.
