Only Pardoning
Board Has Right
To Parole Convict

Miami, Aug. Ex-Governor Tram
nell of Florida takes the position
that no one has a right to parole
any convict and permit him to leave
the state, except the pardoning board
OF the state. The governor is chair
man of that board
Last Saturday the Dade county
commissioners heard statements
with reference to the release of John
Goodwin from the county convict
force By Superintendent John
O'Nenill, and at the request of the
latter statement of the situation
was sent the state pardoning board
for an expression as to the authority
to let Goodwin go. This morning the
following reply was received, sus
tanning the contention of the county
commissioners that superintendent
O'Neill acted without authority:

Hon. z. T. Merritt, clerk,
County Commissioners, Miami,

Dear Sir: | am in receipt of your
letter of the 14th inst, in which you
call attention to the action of the
superintendent of roads and the sup
erintendent of county convicts in
Dade county in releasing one of the
county convicts and allowing him to
leave the state. and asking whether
or not he was authorized to take
such action. Replying I beg to ad-
wise that the county convicts are un-
der the supervision of the board OF
county commissioners, as provided
by Section 4109 of the General
Statutes of Florida. The superin-
tendent having in charge such con-
victs has no authority to release anv
Of them or to grant one of them a
leave of absence to go out of the

not authorized to grant such leave

TWO GREAT INVENTIONS OF
TAYLOR COUNTY MAN

Says the Gainesville Sun: A
resident of one of our sister counties.
Taylor, ras brought out a couple OF
inventions which, if they do what
is claimed for them, will not only
make his famous, but ought to line
his pockets with a sufficiency of
worldly possessions. The Perry Her.
aid tells the story of the inventions
thus modestly:
&c. B. Poe, who is conducting the
contest for an automobile, brought
to The Herald Office yesterday and
left for inspection a safety switch
which he has patented and which
seems to us long needed device for
the prevention of train wrecks.
This safety switch is made to
prevent the wrecking of train after
IL has split the switch, the flanges
after splitting the switch are led
back to the main line by groove de-
vice, which puts the train back on
track before leaving the frog. There
is no other such switch ever in
vented This safety switch will be
tried out as soon as the steel switch
is received, which is now in transit.
Another invention he has is one
that in case car jumps the track
the air is automatically applied to
the whole train without the help or
knowledge of the train crew. The
train will come to a stop in one-half
its length regardless of length OF
speed it is running. These are two
very valuable inventions il proven
successful and Mr.. Poe is to be con-
graduated upon his clever work OF
devising and constructing Them

What Captain Jaudon considers
one of the most rmarkable coinci-
dences he has ever known occurred
on this journey. Both parties left
the Lee county line at the same
time, and although travelling three
days, a part of the time seventy
miles apart, both entered the Miami
river simultaneously. When Mr..
Barclays boat cane into the river

noes trailing behind it, loud halo
was heard, and to their utter sur
prise the party saw few yards

more convinced than ever that the
road building proposition is perfect

NEW IDEA IN ExcAvATING
Hydraulic Mining Cartridge 10 Said to
Be the Most Powerful Yet
Devised.

It is often hard. and sometimes dan.
gerous, to use ordinary explosives for
mining and excavating in confined
spaces, fact that has led to the de-
velopment of the hydraulic mining
cartridge as a safe and effective sub
stitute.. The cartridge consists of a
steel cylinder containing numerous
small pistons that expand when water
is injected into them with a hand
pump. After drilling deep enough
hole, the workmen insert the cylinder,
and then set to work at the hand
pump. The tiny pistons expand until
their free extremities bear against the
mass Of rock with constantly-increas-
ing force. and the rock is gradually
fractured under the tremendous pres
sure. The operation, it is said. is not
only cheaper than the ordinary blast,
but disintegrates a larger area Of rock

An interesting story of his in
vestigations into the feasibility O
building a cross-state road ives
from Miami. was told yesterday b,
Captain j. F. Jaudon, a member o
the Miami-Marco Road and Cana
Commission, who returned to MAN
after traversing the Everglades a:
far west as the Lee county line ant
as far north as point twenty
miles northwest of the junction oil
the Miami and South New River
canals. Captain Jaudon was accom-
panied on this, his second trip into
the Everglades, by R. O. Watson and
two Indian guides.
Upon leaving Miami last Saturday
night, Captain Jaudon and Mr.. Wat
son in two dug-out canoes propelled
by their guides, went as nearly due
west as the nature of the country
would permit. There were numerous
occasions however which it was
necessary to traverse twenty miles
in order to reach a point three miles
nearer their ultimate destination, as
the canoes could only be propelled
through the natural waterways, or
trails as they are called.
Three days after leaving Miami
Messrs. Jaudon and Watson passed
and examined a number of ham
mocks or islands, unknown to
white men, and bearing names
given them by the Seminole Indians.
the translation of which are Rabbit,
Wild Cat, Hog, Custard Apple, Bull.
Lemon and Cabbage, and several
smaller islands. Upon nearly all of
them were fields of Indian corn
planted by the Seminoles, which
were found in a fiourishing condi-
ton, thestalks containing VII ma
tured ars of maise of excellent
quality They also passed close TO
the camps Of Tom Tiger Tail and
Miami Jimmie,
When ready to start on the re-
turn journey the party divided Mr..
Crabtree in one of the canoes ac-
companying Messrs. Jaudon and
Watson and thir guilds on what is
known as tn northern trail. and the
remainder of the party taking the
Shark riber trail skirting the lower
end of the State, it being practically
impossible to return by straight
away route. The distance between
the most northern and most south
ern part of the two routes is APP
rroximately seventy miles.
The Jaudon- Watson Crabtree party
skirted the eastern edge of the
magnificent body of cypress timber
known as Big Cypress for distance
of thirty five miles and then struck
out eastward across the Everglades

WHY the Starr Twinkle.

Although the twinkling of the stars
is commonly referred to, they do not
twinkle at all. The stars are really
suns that throw out light, just as our
sun lights the earth.
When the rays Of light from the
stars strike the air which surrounds
the earth they have to pierce many
little particles which are always float
ing about in the atmosphere. 1t is this
interference between US and the
source of light which gives the ap-
pearance of twinkling
On certain nights the light of the
stars will appear so bright and clear
as to attract particular attention. This
is because the air is so clear there is
less interference than usual with the
rays of light in reaching the earth.

1T was in the season when the or
ange and the grapefruit grow golden
in color, and in fact.
And it was in 1903, and in an old
fashioned countryfied village, where
the houses were mostly frames, ev-
en- unto the business shops. The
streets-the most used of them
were rutted sand-soaks in seasons of
rain and dust wallows for hens in
dry times
The town itself was, even then as
now, supposedly a dry" town. But,
even then as now, in some of the
thickets on the outskirts. there
might be found bipeds who thought
themselves over-grown, eyeless cats.
and in two of the hostelries and in
a famous corner shop, bipeds assem-
bled to booze and study and COM

the back and upstairs rooms other
