The Palatka news and advertiser., 1915-05-28

During the session of the House of
Representatives on Tuesday, accord
ing to TIE Times Union account, the
members had a good laugh and @eem
ed to feel better fer the experience
1t was during a playful mood whicl
the House had dropped into on dis
covering an unusual mistake on thr
part of the Senate.
The house had under consideration
Senate Bill No., 115, to establish :;
state board of veterinary medical eX
aminers for the regulation and con-
troll of the practice of veterinary med
icine, surgery and dentistry in the
state of Florida, and to provide pen
alties for the violation of the act
When Reading Clerk Nat Marion
started to read it he discovered it
had no enacting clause. This was
called attention to, and an effort made
to rectify it by amendment. This
the house vote ddOwn.
Mr.. Tilghman, of Putnam county
said he wanted the bill killed, be-
cause it would put him out of bust
ness, after many years of practice
During that time he declared he had
been able to do lot of good but he
was satisfied he could not stand such
an examination as would be required
under this bill.
Mr.. Davis, of st. Johns county,
said he was opposed to the bill and
wanted to testify to the usefulness
of the Putnam man, who had gotten
out some real scientific suggestions.
he declared DR.. Tilghman
had discovered how to control the sex
Of prospective calves, and you can ap-
ply the same thing to the human race.
After the roar of laughter which
followed had subsidized an effort was
made to restore the bill by consid-
ering the vote by which the house re-
fused to insert an enacting clause.
The members refused to reconsid-
er and the speaker, Mr.. Lake, in the
chair, declared the bill killed.

MOONSH|NE WHISKY
STILL ROUNDED UP
By Revenue Officer Pete
Hagan in a Clay County
Swamp.

Deputy U. S. Revenue Officer P.
M. Hagan of this city, with Tom Hol-
den as special deputy, captured an
illicit still in the western part of
Clay county near the Bradford coun-
ty line last Tuesday, destroyed the
still and 100 gallons of sour mash,
besides jugs and bottles, arrested the
owner, one Jack Silcox, and turned
him over to Sheriff Denmark of
Starke, who has him safe in jail.
Messrs. Hagan and Holden left
Palatka last Monday morning and ar
rived at Starke that evening, going
through the country in the Hagan
car. Next morning they went out
to Kensley lake, about six miles east
of Starke. Near the old George Pow
ell turpentine still little northwest
of the lake they found the home of
Silcox, a white man, whom Mr.. Ha-
gan suspected He was not at home.
Officer Hagan broke into the house
where he found plenty of evidence in
the shape of sour mash, jugs, bot
ties of all descriptions, and in the
yard plenty of fresh signs to indicate
that still had recently been i'll op-
Grafton.
Mr.. Hagan had every reason for
believing that the still had been re-
Gently removed, and he proceeded to
search in a swamp about two hun
