OUR OLD FLORIDA FRIEND
WRITES US.

Dear Sir: l am gratified at the
outcome of your trial, because it
shows that had there been no bias
among the jurors there would have
been unanimous acQuittal in my
opinion. 1t seems to me in reading
the accounts of the trial that there
must have been much bias in both
judge and the prosecutor. However,
that is only private opinion and not
an attack on the Court.
1t also would appear that those
two jurors who stood out for convic-
ton were Catholics at heart, because
cannot possibly understand why
any protestant could possibly bring
themselves to vote for conviction if
we weigh all the evidence in the
scales of reason and righteousness,
for l know your motives were pure
and in the interest of good morals
You have plenty Of friends all over
this United States.
Yours truly,
j. S. COATS.

COMMISSIONERS
 ADVISE EMPLOYES
 ON COMPENSATION

A-meeting of the compensation com mission of the state was held yester- day At it's close Fred M. Williams, chairman of the commission, issued the following statement. calling atten- ton to new features in the act; par ticular1y as they affect insurance:
 The commission feels that the pub lies attention should be again called to certain features of the compensa- ton insurance law now in force in this state. Presumably every one knows that the amendments made by the last General Assembly took effect on May 20.
 These amendments change the lia- bility of the employer in many re- spects, principally as to details of spe- cifc injuries and to medical ser vices which are now unlimited instead of being confined to 30 days immedi- ate1y following the injury as was the case before May 20.
 Of the 26 companies organized tc transact compensation insurance bus mess in the state only a very small number in terms insure against the liability imposed upon the assured by the amendments to the law. Every person holding a compensation insur- ance policy ought to examine it and see whether he is . simply insured against liabilities as they existed un- der the act of 1913. or whether he is in sured against his present liability.
 Tn regard to the much discussed question of employers of less than five employees, .thes language of section 2 of the statute is it now stands should be carefully studied. A large number of persons employing less than five employees have taken out contracts Of insurance because they desire to have their employees protected in case they are injured. In all such Instances the employer should see to it that each of his employees is notified as provided in Section 2 that the employer has taken this insurance and that he has accept ed the provisions of Part B of the statute and he should accompany this notice by a eerei1eate that the policy is in force. All of this work can read fly be done by the insurance agents. and probably in most instances will be. butfeach of the commissioners has no- ticed that these reports which were prepared and distributed some time ago are not being used to the extent which we believed they should be lISed

Mrs. Preston, Former "First Lady of the
 Land" 51 Today

Mrs. Thomas Joseph Preston is a name which will bring no answering flash of recognition from the majority of readers, yet it is that of a woman who was once in the worlds 1inelight. Mrs Preston, who was formerly Mrs. Grover Cleveland, and before that Miss Frances Folsom, was born in Buffalo fifty-one. years ago today,
 July 21, 1864. Her father, Oscar Folsom, was at one time a law part ner of Grover Cleveland. When the Buffalo lawyer became the president of the United States, it was the young and lovely daughter of his former partner that he made the mistress of the White House and the first lady of the land" The beauty of the White House bride,'' coupled with the fact that she was the first and only wife of a president to be mar ried at the official mansion and the youngest woman who had ever held. that exalted position, made her an object of universal interest and ad- Iniration. Miss Folsom was educated at Wells College, Aurora, N. Y., and it was while she was student at that institution that, the rumors be- that of Grover Cleveland. It was a matter of much excited campus gos- sip among Miss Folsom's girl friends, but she refused all information on the Su u6JecC, thoroughly QlSprOVlnS the allegation that the fair sex are in- capable of keeping secrets When Governor Cleveland of New York be- came President Cleveland, and oc- cupied the White House in lonely state, the rumors of his. marriage be- came more frequent. Miss Folsom, was then in Europe, and returned only a short time before the wedding. She sailed from Antwerp without the knowledge of the newspaper sleuths, and landed secretly in New York. where she went to hotel It was not until the Saturday before Tuesday, June 2, 1886, that rumor became cer- taintys through an official announce ment from the White House, and on the latter date the ceremony was per- formed The wedding was severely simple, and the ceremony was wit messed only by relatives of the presi- dent and his bride After the death of Mir. Cleveland. his widow devoted herself to the education of her chill dren, spending some time in Switzer- land for that purpose. After several years of widowhood she became a bride, her second husband, Prof Thomas Joseph x Preston, being 9 member of the caulty of Wells Col Iege, her alma mater.

The first torpedo was the inven- ton of an American, David Bushnell, and was given its first test 138 years ago today. Bushnell, native of Saybrook, Conn. was inspired by the revolution to attempt to invent a ma chine for submarine navigation by which magazine was to be carried to the bottom of ships for blowing them up, when the conductor was at a safe distance He attempted to 1pllt this invention to practical use in the harbor. of New York. and succeeded tn blowing up a small British schoon- CT but failed in more ambitious pro- jects.

whereas the father and husband fire.

of him. Often he spends money for
drink that is needed for food. And
the more he stints the table In order
TO enjoy liquor, the more he incapaci-
tates himself for profitable service to
an employer. The saloons in every
city are supported mainly by men OF
small earning power. The poverty
is every city is due largely to drink.
