BLAME FOR EASTLAND
DISASTER IS PLACED
By Coronor's Jury on Six
Men who Have Been Held
to Grand Jury

Chicago, July 29th.-The coroner's
jury at a late hour on Wednesday
night returned a verdict placing the
blame for the loss of hundreds of lives
by the capsizing of the steamer East
land in the Chicago river Saturday on
six men, as follows:
William H. Hull, general manager
of the Chicago-St. Joseph Steamship
Company, owner of the Eastland;
Captain Harry Petersen, of the East
land; ]. NJ. Erickson, engineer; Rob-
ert Reid, federal inspector of steam
ships, who gave the Eastland license
to carry $500 passengers July 2; j.
&c. Eckliff, federal inspector of steam
ships; W. X. Greenbaum, general
manager of the Indiana Transporta-
ton Company, lessee Of the Eastland.
The jury recommended that these
men be held to a grand jury for in
dictment on charge of manslaughter.
The jury found that the passengers
were not in any way to blame for the
capsizing of the ship. 1t recommends
further investigation by the coroner
and other officers to determine wheth
er the men named and others may be
guilty of negligence or of contributing
in any way to the cause of the dis
aster.
The six jurors selected by Coroner
Peter Hoffman to hold the inquest on
the victims of the Eastland catastro-
phe are:
DR.. w. A. Evans, formerly health
commissioner; Colonel Henry A. AL
len, consulting engineer; Harry Moir,
hotel proprietor; ]. S. Keough, coffee
Eugene Beifeld, hotel man
ager; W. F. Bode, wholesale grocer.
The coroner's jury remained clos
eted from 2 o'clock in the afternoon
until the middle of the night. The
jury was said to have decided to place
the blame for the wreck, but the
names of those it recommended held
for grand jury consideration were not
given out until later.

Why They Knock Jacksonville

Florida press does not always agre
in detail as to things Of state interest
We quote the following from tn
Tampa Times:
"At a recent meeting of Jack
sonville's boosters it was declar-
ed that Jacksonville suffers more
from the outside than inside
that the press of the state takes
a delight in knocking Jackson
Vile and all that therein is, says
The Clearwater Sun. The atti-
tude of the state press to Jack
sonville was discussed at length
and many wondered the why of it.
"There are a great many why's,
but one of the most fragrant Is
The Jacksonville Times-U Union on
account of its narrow editorial
policy.
"You have to agree with The
Times Union or it will seek to de-
stroy you.
Gust because this paper has
mind of its own it has created
the displeasure of The Times
Union and one of the laws of
that institution is: Never quote,
refer to or reprint anything from
The Clearwater Sun, or refer to
w. B. Powell except it be that he
commits a crime or is put out of
the way.
"This was told to us by a form
er Times Union man. in the pre-
sence of a number of Jacksonville
newspaper men who corroborat-
ed it.
at is very likely that other
state papers are being given the
silent treatment by this hybrid
paper. Hence, the state press
likes to take a poke at Jackson
ville-just 10 worry the powers
behind the T.-U."
Getting down to the facts, there are
very tangible reasons why Jackson
Vile newspapers have not received the
which fair publications
would merit. There are many clean
people and newspapers in Florida
the majority of them are so-who
cannot saw many good things of Jack
5onville because that city has no daily
newspapers with moral courage to
clean up the place. Big business
seems to control completely, and no
,ity ever prospers as long as its
are controlled by low ele.
nents seeking special privileges. The
outside world only sees Jacksonville
Trough its newspapers, and the opin~
on seems to have taken hold that
.hese are muzzled and are afraid to
AXE positive positions when interests

that bunch grapes will not grow here.
But either the climate and soil is
changing with the years or else the
matter was never properly tried out.
Just last week there was a nice box
of white bunch grapes sent here from
Putnam county. And now comes H..
Cheney, who lives about one and a
half miles south of Gainesville, with
baskets of bunch grapes for sale, both
white Niagaras and black Concords,
sweet and luscious. The lunches
were not so we'll filled out as they
should be, but that was for the lack
Of proper trimming and a little fer
tilizing. The vines are in their third
year and this is the second crop borne.
This certainly demonstrates that the
Alachua county farmer does not need
to come into town and pay fabulous
prices for his grapes, but he can
have all he wants on his own vines.
Farmers of Alachua awake to the pos
sibilities of your own county and get
busy.-Gainesville Sun.

Will Support Gov. Trammell-
X X Y X X X X X X X X X X X X


Will Support Gov. Trammell--
Congressman Sparkman was the
FIST eminent public man we became
personally acquainted with in Florida
and with whose official record we
were directly concerned. We have
found both-the man and the record
sound through fifteen years, and the
Times has always been "a Sparkman
paper" for just that reason and no
other.
Park Trammell we came to know
personally later; not so well as Mr..
Sparkman, but we have always es-
teemed him very highly. Again we
have found the man and his record
sound, and we have been again a
staunch supporter of both.
Senator Bryan we have scarcely
met, but we admire the man and res
pect his record, and we have support
ed both.
The Times has no word of dispar-
agement for, nor in the slightest
changed it's attitude towards, any Of
these three men.
Mr.. Sparkman would and will have
our support for congress, no matter
who his opponent. He has not yet
announced his candidacy, and Mr..
Trammell would have had our support
for congress if he had become a can
didate and if Mr.. Sparkman did not.
AS Mr.. Trammell is to be a candi-
date for the senate we expect to sup
port him; although we shall not OPP
pose Mr.. Bryan or any other candi-
date.
We have all along believed that one
of the senatorships should and would
be removed from Jacksonville. and we
believe Senator Fletcher is very tho
roughly established, indeed. We have
the highest regard for Mr.. Perry G.
Wall, and until the announcement of
Governor Trammell regarded him as
the man to whom one of the senator
ships is to be transferred from jack
The announcement of Gov
eInor Trammells candidacy, however,
in our opinion puts all others except
Senator Brvan entirely out of the run

Cut Out Political Dead Heads

With seeming unanimity the think
ing press of Florida agrees that free
putting of politicians is coming to be:
to say the least, an imposition, and if
this sentiment is evolved into action
the time will come when campaign eX-
penses will not be cut by beginning
with the newspapers. Certain facts
in political campaigns are news and
should be published for the informa-
ton of readers. To go further, how
ever. and throw papers wide open to
the gentry seeking offices. is giving
them the kind of valuable space which
even a business man could not pur-
chase for exploiting his wares. 1t
will be most sensible condition of af-
fairs when the politician who wishes
to reach the readers of papers with
his message comes to realize that the
way to do it is to take space for his
personal advertisement the same as
the merchant would do in advertising
bargain sales.-Miami Metropolis.

WELL SAID!

In the consideration of importan
utterances the critical judgment ha
regard for variety of elements. W.
take a speech or letter and, afte
reading it, ask ourselves is it right
Or we question whether it is truth
full. Or we wonder whether 1t /!
timely. Or we inquire into its suffi
cheney, its logic, its capacity to con
vince, etc-all the factors that enter
into narrative, reasoning, argument
persuasion, conviction.
This is oy way of preface to OBJ
serving that in the State Depart
ment's note to Germany, published
Saturday last, there were some things
well said, whether one agrees with
the tone and purpose of the document
or not. Here are few specimens
hard to beat:
For a bellgerent act of retail
alton is per Sc an act beyond the
law, and the defense of an act as
retalatory is an admission that
it is illegal.
Illegal and inhuman acts, how
ever justifable they may be
thought to be against an enc
my who is believed to have acted
in contravention of law and hu-
manity, are manifestly indefen-
sible when they deprive neutrals
of their acknowledged rights,
particularly when they violate the
right of life itself.
The government of the United
States cannot consent to abate
any essential or fundamental
right of its people because of a
mere alteration of circumstance.
The rights of neutralS in time
of war are based upon principles,
not upon eXpediency, and the
principles are immutable.
A needless destruction of hu-
man life by an illegal act.
The government of the United
States will continue to contend
for that freedom (of thhe seas,)
without compromise and at any
cost.
Repetition by the commanders
of German naval vessels of acts
in contravention of those rights
must be regarded by the govern
ment of the United States, when
they affect American citizens, as
deliberately unfriendly.
When there is something to be
said to the point such is the feXibil-
ity of English speech that it can be
done gracefully without depriving it
of force. Unfortunately not all Of us
have that happy faculty.-Pittsburg
Gazette Times.

Ex-Gov. Albert w. Gilchrist, who
is an announced candidate for the U.
S. Senate, has been sending out a
few of his campaign circulars-"just
a few" as he says, "by way Of pop
ping a cap" The CIRCULAR has Is
blanks. and a whole lot of other stuff
that is about on a par with the Gil
christ literature in the campaign Of
1905, when he received the nomina-
ton for governor. We hope no one
will laugh at this circular. True, it
is somewhat lacking in dignity, but
then no one expects Gov. Gilchrist to
he dignified. He is a good campaign
er nevertheless, and when he gets to

Of the 397 students enrolled in the
University Summer School for teach,
ers, PTS are women, and it should
therefore not be thought a thing in
credible that women should exercise
a controlling influence; anyway res.
olutions looking to the larger inf1u-
ence of women in the life of the Uni
versity were passed by the Peabody
Club of the University at a meeting
last Friday night. Here are the
resolutions:
Whereas, most of the teachers
of Florida are women; and
Whereas the last two Legisla-
lures of the State, recognizing
the inadequacy of prepared teach
ers, gave serious consideration to
the establishment of a new State
Normal School,; and
Whereas, the present plant of
the centrally located University
of Florida can accommodate u
large number of women in its
Teachers College without further
expense to the State;
Therefore be it resolved: That
we, the Peabody Club of the Uni
versity of Florida in regular ses-
sion assembled, do recommend
that the University of Florida be
removed from the small minority
of three State Universities pro-
hibiting women, and that the
Teachers College of the Univer-
sity be made co-educational, dur
ing the regular as well as the
summer session"
If the Palatka News had a voice
in this matter at all, it would be in
favor of the resolutions. The teach
ing force in. the common schools of
Florida like other states, is made up
largely of women; many of them are
gting to great expense in order to
make themselves proficient in their
professions; they are entitled to the
best Florida affords in the way of in
struction. Until some good reason
IS advanced why these women should
not avail themselves of the Teachers
College at Gainesville, both in its
'egular as well as the summer ses-
;ions, these resolutions will stand as
he embodiment of all that is sound
md sensible.

The continued high surf has made it impossible to launch the lighters and there are but one or two in the water. Now that the ice has left the coast nothing flinders traffic except the high sea and there are not few people who are hurling anathemas at the weather gods just now.
