SEC. MCADOO OUTLINES new
ADMINISTRATION SHIPPING BILL

The terrible events of the past
Year in Europe, anu the acute situa-
tions which have arisen in our for
c;"n relations. have. brought forcibly
to the front the necessity for greater
naval and military preparedness
than our people have heretofore be-
lieved to be necessary for the nation
al safety. Our splendid isolation
upon which we have relied so much
in the past as our chief protection,
has been neutralied in great meas
rrc by the developments of modern
science. We have been forced to con-
slider the new measures which are
essential to put the country upon a
basis of greater security.
1--WE must not approach this sub
jcct in hysterical fashion; we must
not take counsel of fear, but counsel
of prudence, reason and intelligence.
We are so fortunately placed that
we do not have to adopt a militaris-
tic policy, as that term Is commonly
understood. Our geographical posi-
tion makes it unnecessary for us to
maintain such formidable military
establishments as those OF the great
powers of Europe"
American business, Secretary Me-
Adoo said, paid dearly for the failure
of the ship bill at the last session of
Congress. Increased freight rates to
shippers in the last year, he said,
"have exceeded several times the
100000 which the shipping bill
authorized the government to expend
on merchant vessels" Losses, he
said, have been incurred also because
of the fact that producers have been
unable to ship their product at all :.
Our antagonists have offered
nothing but criticism, he declared
"They roundly denounced the plan
proposed at the last session Of Con-
gress but have never offered prac-
tical suggestion as a substitute.

purchase of the vessel Roamer by
Mr.. T. r. Hodges, fish commissioner
of the State of Florida, as unneces-
sary. unwise and foolish. and suggest
that the said boat be sold and place
the proceeds in the State treasury,
to be used for some purpose that
would BE- of more benefit to the peo-
pie Of the State at large. as We feel
this is not the case now.
At the present time it is taking
$3.50 per day to operate this boat,
out of which expenditure the people
are receiving no benefit whatever.
We feel that at least some por-
tions of the fish law are very unjust
10 the FISHERMEN of the state of
Florida. and there are some parts
which will have to be remedied or
modified before the law will do jus
tice to the many people. whose only
dependence for a support for their
families comes from this source Of
livelihood.

GERMANS HAVE
TURNED ON
~ FRENCH
MADE SMALL GAINS; PETROGRAD
REPORTS GERMANS SHORT OF
AMMUNITION
(By Associated Press }

London, Oct 14.-Increasing un-
easiness is felt here at the absence
of definite news of concerted allied
action in the Balkans. This is in
tensified by news of dispute in the
French chamber of deputies regard
II the Bllkan dan er and by Italy's
persistent silence regarding partici
patton in the expedition and uncer-
tainty of the British program. Opin-
ion here is divided to some extent
as to the advisability of participat-
ing in the Balkan conflict. The gen
eral opinion is that Great Britain is
morally bound to assist Serbia If it
can be done without dangerous at
tcnnation of the main front, where
it is felt the war will finally be de-
cided
The Germans. failing in their at
tacks on the British western front,
turned on the French and made a
gain east of Souchez, of small i'm
portance, however. The German as
sault in the vicinity of Tahure, start
ed three days ago, has also been ma
terially unproductive.
On the eastern front the Russians
continue the initiative. Petrograd
reports unofilcially that the Germans
now lack ammunition The fury Of
German onslaught on the Dvinsk
line has diminished, with no net
gains recently.
Petrograd dispatches assert that
the Germans are three miles further
from the city than week ago. Of
fetal institutions are being taken
back to Riga and Dvinsk.
The Teutons report steady prog
ress in Sarbia but admit that their
headway has been impeded.
The Hague martialslaw in speci-
fed and partial form was proclaimed
here today. 1T affects various trades
furnishing army supplies.

Ruthland and Istachatta, where the

man of about sixty years of age,
and a friend of Mr.. Nichols for
many years, was assisting the ferry
man. Dave Caruthers and nephew,
Dave DeBusk, to take Mr.. Nichols
car across the river The old gentle
man was laughing and joking with
Mr. Nichols, apparently the picture
of health. Mr.. Nichols drove off the
nat slowly and when 80 feet away
heard one of the young men call to
him ur. emily to return quickly. lie
stopped the car and ran back, and
found Mr.. DeBusk had fallen on the
nat. Supposin. that he had tainted,
Mr.. Nichols threw some water in
his face and attempted to revive him.
The old gentleman gasped a few
times, his arms and legs gave a spas

speaking.

TRYING TO SAVE NECK OF
NEGRO MURDERER TOBIN

st. Petersburg, Oct. 14-Every
possible effort to save the neck of
Ebenezer Tobin will be made by At
torney Morris. who represents the
condemned negro. Mr.. Morris pro-
poses to begin his fight right away
and probably will go to Tallahassee
to appeal to Gov. Trammell for a
stay of execution. Tobin is sentenced
to die on the scaffold October %.
He was convicted of the murder OF
Edward F. Sherman, who was shot
to death while he was alseep in his
bed at his home on the Johns Pass
road. Mrs. Sherman positively iden-
titled Tobin as the man who fired the
shot. She saw him with the gun
standing at the window through
which the shot was fired, only mo-
ment after Mr.. Sherman had been
slain.
Mr.. Morris claims to have new
evidence and says that he will go to
Tallahassee In an effort to delay the
hanging and will take every step to
secure new trial. On what he will
base his appeal for new trial and
how he will proceed has not been
stated. No appeal can be taken, but
1t is possible. perhaps, for the trial
Judge to set aside the sentence now
and grant new trial The most
likely way to proceed, however, Is to
appeal to the governor to grant a
stay of execution and then bring the
case before the pardoning board.
In st. Petersburg the news that
efforts are b eing made to save
Tobin from the death penalty for a
horrible crime will not be received
with approval. The public here ac-
cepts the testimony of Mrs Sherman
and knows that she could have given
stronger testimony than she pre-
sented at the trial of Tobin. 1T is
probable that a strong protest from
St Petersburg will go to the COVER
nor urging that the sentence of the
court be sustained II Governor
Trammell gives notice that he will
hear both sides of the case before
granting a stay of execution 1t Is
likely that deleeation of citizens
will go to Tallahassee to protest
against delay or communication of the
death sentence.
