for year without acting upon 1t, and
the only way it was finally enacted into
law was by adding it as a rider to the
District appropriation bill, is sufficient
indication that no action could be eX-
pected in the House on prohibition

Il fully believe, however. that pro-
hibition for the District would receive
a majority vote in the Senate if
brought up directly before the body
and at the next session we will take
the necessary steps to get it before
the Senate. Undoubtedly. if the bill
could be brought before the House. it
would be passed by very comfortable

Vice President Marshall today ap-
pointed the following committee to in

ator Jones Of Washington that liquor
licenses had been issued in large num-
bers by the District excise board in
violation Of the law:
Senator Sheppard of Texas, chair
man: Senators, James of Kentucky,
Hitchcock of Nebraska, Jones of Wash
ington and Dillingham; of Vermont.
Following the appointment of the
committee Senator Sheppard said he
would get his committee together and
talk over the matter of the proposed
investigation as soon as possible.
IF the investigation is to be made"
said Senator Sheppard, the resolution
adopted by the Senate providing for
the investigation must be considerably
| broadened. The resolution offered by
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey and
adopted by the Senate merely states
that an investigation into the charges
Of issue of licenses illegally be made
by committee of five senators.
Holds More Power Required.
THE committee must be given the
power to summon and swear witnesses
and to have brought before it books
and other papers. and also provision
| must be made for meeting the expenses
incidental to such an Investigation"
Senator Sheppard said that If his COM
mittee agreed. he would offer a substi-
tute resolution for investigation CIV
ing the powers to the committee which
he insisted were required.
Senator Sheppard as leader for the
fight for prohibition in the District of
Columbia "aged in the Senate the last
few days, today said he did not believe
any further attempt would be made to
enact prohibition legislation at the
present session Of Congress.
THE Senate has all 1t can do between

Senate District committee from one

having it passed by the Senate. there
would be no chance of getting it

SENATOR HUDSON IN THE CITY

Mr.. F. NJ. Hudson, of Miami, state
senator from Dade county, arrived
last evening, and put in this morning
becoming acquainted with our lead
ing citizens.
AS is we'll known, Mr.. Hudson is a
candidate for governor, and with the
exception of Mr.. Knott the strongest
who has announced.
Mr.. Hudson has been in public life
number of years and has clean and
rleritorious record. He has the solid
hacking of his section and many
friends in other parts of the state.
Ocala people are indebted to him for
backing up Senator Terrell in the
fight against the Camp franchise bills
in the Senate last May.
We have some reason to complain
of him in helping to pass the Blox-
ham county bill. He probably would
not have done this if he had not been
misinformed as to the merits of the
proposition.
Senator Hudson left this afternoon
or his way to Oxford, where he viii
attend the picnic tomorrow. He made
a good impression while in Ocala.

fore.

received, especially when he assured
his hearers that as soon as the pres
ent agitation was over he would use
his every effort with the board to
nave good roads leading to the west
crn part of the county.
Mr.. w. o. Brewer, in short speech
said that he favored the new county
hecaIse he believed that the people in
mis- section were not accorded proper
presentation in disbursing the coun-
~ funds at present and that the
change would give them their share.
Mr.. ]. III. Brinson, superintendent
Of schools foc Marion county, took the
speakers stand for just a few min
utes to tell the people that the section
part of Bloxham had received from
the school fund last year $500, from
which the county had only received
S2500. This statement was made in
rebuttal of several statements made
that this section was not receiving its
just proportion of the county funds.
The schools and roads received the
larger portion of the attention of all
the speakers, and the people of Romeo
probably know more about these mat
ters than they did before the set-to OF
Thursday.
Tho some of the speakers occasion
ally became rather near to personal
in their remarks, all in all the day
was an enjoyable one for upward oi
four hundred citizens of Marion anC
Levy counties.

believe Mr.. Aver said that the pro-
posed split of the counties Is being

realize that they have nothing fur
ther to expect from the old Counties,
and unless they can make new
range they are "dead ducks" and
when they wake up after September
14th they will find that their scheme
was "loaded" and the people saw them
first. He said that their bugaboo
about Ocala getting more than her
share of the good things of Marion
county was simply to muddy the
water" as there was nothing to prove
their assertions, and he quoted official
figures to show his authority for
making the statements.
Rev. Douglass of the Pennington
section, one of the two men in the
affected district claiming Marion
county as his home to mount the
stage in favor of Bloxham, was the
next speaker. He is a most pleasant
talker and devoted the time allotted
him in extolling the virtues of GER
tain county in "Georgy'' which was
his former home, and which had beer
carved from several older ones. He
said the reason he had wandered from
his Edenlike "Georgy" county to Mar
ion was that he could raise two ear:

child on the grounds knew him per-

ing unanswered, said that they knew
that the people in the southern por-

hundreds of neighbors and friends
who assembled at Pine Island Thurs

ties for the formation of Bloxham
county.
Early in the forenoon the people

spot for holding picnic would be
hard to find.
ers devoted themselves to visiting
and exchanging neighborly greetings
and it was nearly II o'clock when Mr.
w. O. Brewer, who had been wisely
chosen as master of ceremonies, an
nounced that the speechmaking of the
day would begin, and Mr.. Jasper
Willis, postmaster of the proposed
county site of the new county was in
troduced.
Mr.. Willis attempted to show tha-
the two parent counties of the propos
ed Bloxham were too large and un
wieldy, and on this account many O
the citizens were the unfortunate vic
tins of taxation without representa-
tion," which caused the secession sen
timent now prevailing in the affected
sections. He said that the north
western part of Marion had beel
taxed for good roads, but had no
seen them. (This statement was late
refuted by later speaker, who show
ed that the district had really ex
pended more than it's portion of tn
road fund for a number of years, tn
it was applied on the lower end of tn
district while the upper end was Gu
short).
Mr.. Aver, Marion's tax assessor
was next introduced, and told hi
hearers how easy it would have bee
