|aIY HAS AMPLE
LEGAL AUTHORITY TO
ORDER STREET PAVING

The Membership Council of the
Lakeland Chamber of Commerce held
its regular luncheon at the Colonial
Cafe today, with the usual good at
tendance.
The committee appointed to solicit
an appropriation for the South Flor
ida Fair from the county reported
that 1t had appeared before the coun-
~ commissioners and that an appro-
priatiOn Of $1,000 had been granted.
Other committees, including the one
appointed to secure an adequate pc
tition TO realizing a bond election, re-
ported progress.
An important matter was brought
TO the attention of the council by
Mr. John F. Cox, who desired to
know why the paving of certain
streets was being held up. He pre-
sumed the delay was owing to the
fact that the work could not be au-
thorized by the present city charter,
and suggested that the Chamber get
behind the matter and urge the COM
pletion of new charter.
Senator H. ]. Drane stated for
the information of Mr. Cox and the
members generally that the city has
authority to proceed with the order
ing of this paving. an act passed by
the last Legislature, and effective ev-
er since last June, giving ample pow
ers to municipalities in such cases,
regardless of the charter under
which they may be operating.
II may be stated that a majority
of the commissioners have been anx-
ious to proceed with this street i'm
proyement, but it has been held up
because Mr.. Cox opposed the plan,
ON the ground that the city could
not legally adopt it, The question
of legality being settled, apparently,
1T is presumed that there will be no
further opposition to carrying out
these improvements, and that the
commissioners will order this much
needed paving to be done. 1t also ap-
pears that steps towards adopting
a new charter should be taken with
cut unnecessary delay.

PISTOL TOTING TRAMP
LIKELY TO CROAK

jacksonville, Oct : 1t was re-
ported from the county hospital
Saturday night that Harry Barnes
a young Englishman who was shot
by Col. l.. e. Wade, of Orange
Park, Friday morning at that place
was rapidly growing weaker and his
death was momentarily expected
Two bullets from a revolver en-.
tered Barnes shoulder and ranged
downward into his lungs One of the
bullets almost severed the juglar
vein.
Early Saturday Barnes, although
very feeble, seemed hopeful of recov-
cry, stating he was sure he would
not die If he was given good atten-
tion. Later, however. his condition
grew rapidly worse.
His relatives in Tiverton, Devon
shire county. England, will be noti-
fled Barnes told the authorities thai
his father is G.. j. Barnes, of that
place. Barnes is 26 years old. He
said that before coming South he
had been employed for three years
by the Westinghouse Company in
Sayre. Pa.
AS already stated, Barnes tramp
ing in search of work, went at an
early hour to the home OF Col. Wade
at Orange Park and knocked on a
back door on the upper floor of the
house. He was ordered to leave the
premises and while walking away is
alleged to have turned and fired
three revolver shots at Col. Wade.
None Of the shots took effect, how
ever. and Col. Wade Immediately
returned the fire, hitting Barnes
twice.

Dugey. Moran was with the Chicago
Cubs when Frank Chance was man
ager of the National League pennart
winners. Demaree was with the New
York Giants in 1918. Whited played
with the Boston Braves last year
Beals Becker fielded for the New
York Giants in 1871 and 1912 and
Engey was with the Boston Braves
last year.
Compared with their Philadelphia
opponents the roster of the Boston
Red Sox includes many worlds So
ries winning veterans which natur-
ally gives the New En- gland team the
advantage at least of experience :.
Ten Of the players who were on the
championship eligible list for Boston
three years ago are still wearing the
Lannin uniforms, Jack Barry who
was with the Athletics of Philadel.
Vhia through victory and defeat Is
an additional help this year. Only
two Of the old pitchers, Wood and
Collins. are now with the team. The
former. however, may not be called
upon during the coming conflict
while the veteran southpaw Collins
has not been able to reach the stand
ard of merit he attained in previous
years.
Manager Carrigan has fine star
from which to select moundmen and
it looks as though the bulk of the
work in this department will be en-
trusted to Leonard Shore, Foster and
Ruth during the series. Shore AMI
Foster are right handlers and the
other two are left hand twirlers.
Then there are Gregg and Mays who
with Collins and Wood form a strong
reserve to be called upon in case 1t
becomes necessary. Ruth and Gregg
stand among the 300 hitters this
season while leonard, Wood and
Foster also have proven themselves
to be very useful batters. Certainly
Carrigan has no need to worry as
to the strength or ability of his
pitching force.
iris Speaker, the player most
talked of on the Red Sox team, to-
gether with Lewis and Hooper, make
up the great outfield, considered by
many to be the best In the country.
Left-fielder Lewis who has been
with the team half a dozen years,
also has fine seasons record.
Hooper, the other member of the
outfield, has a fielding average of
.974.

BIDS ARE RECEIVED
FOR LEASE OF CONVICTS

Tallahassee, Oct. Bids for the
lease of able bodied convicts subject
to lease under the law were received
and opened Saturday.
Sixteen bids were received, the
average price bid being $172.50, af-
ter eliminating two bids that were
so low the board would not consider
them. The total number of con-
victs for which bids were made was
something less than the probable
number subject to lease, but after
some time in consultation, the board
and the prospective lessees agreed on
a fiat sum of S175 per capita per
annum, which was 50 so per capita
per annum more than the average
price bid, and the prospective lessees
also agreed to increase the number
for which bids were submitted In
order to make sure Of leasing all of
the convicts that would be on hand
to be leased Jan. /, 1916, and which
it would not be practicable to use at
the prison farm Considering condi-
tions, the board feels that a very
satisfactory contract has been made.
Convicts leased to firms and indi-
viduals are approximately 750;
leased to counties for public road
work; Osceola county ten able bodied
prisoners of class l.; Madison county
ten OF class 1; Marion county twelve
of grade 3: Walton ten of grade 3;
DeSoto forty of grade g. Glass 1 are
able bodied negro prisoners OF less
than ten years service, leased to
counties for road building purposes
for $40 each per month. Grade
prisoners are those Of more than ten
years service. and are leased to the
counties for road purposes for 81 per
month.
Total number OF prisoners leased
to firms and individuals with those
to the counties mentioned are $50.
There are at the prison farm from
500 to 600 prisoners, making
grand total of all prisoners OF about
1.400.

Alexander's great work in the box

boast of some great hitters but I
think we have some fence busters on
the Phillies who will equal the Bos-
ton sluggers.
With Mayer, Demaree,' iMcQuiilen,
Chalmers and Rixey on his pitching
staff, Manager Moran feels that he
has a formidable array of boxmen to
back up Alexander in attacking tho
Red SOX defense. The infeld com
posed of Luderus, Niehoff, Bancroft
and Stock is strong combination
and Cravath. Paskett and Whitfield
are well able to take care of the out

Captain Luderus stands second in
the batting list of the National
League and with Cravath, Whitted,
Stock, Becker and Niehoff the hit :
ting of the Moran team shows con-
siderable strength. Should the ma
jority of games be played on the
Philadelphia grounds. that the park
with its short fences will suit the
home hitters much better than the
visitors is the opinion shared in by
many close followers of the game.

SMILE AND BE HAPPY.
BY H. Addington Bruce.

Author Of THE Riddle Of Personal.

There is an interesting theory in
psychology known as the James.
Lange theory, after the psychologists
William James and c. G. Lange.
This theory relates to the emotions
and insists that, contrary to the pop.
ular belief. the muscular and Other
physical changes which accompany
causes rather than the effects of these
varying mental states.
That is, according to the James.
1.ange theory, instead of saying that
we weep because We grieve, we ough,
to say that we grieve because We
weep. Similarly. we do not strike be.
cause we are angry, We are angry be-
cause we strike. And we do not rlr
because We are frightened, but we are
frightened because we run.
While very few psychologists accep
this doctrine, all are agreed that there
is certain amount Of truth in it. ant
that it is entirely possible to produce
in oneself any specific emotion by vo
UNFAIRLY assuming the characteristic
physical expression of that emotion.
That this Is actually the case I.
