CITY MANAGER
WASN'T A SUCCESS

A special to the st. Petersburg
Times from Lakeland says:
Although the charter under which
the business and municipal affairs of
this city are conducted, provides for a
manager, there is no manager. He
was RELEASED on January 1, after
nearly one years service, which was
found to be unsatisfactory-unsatis-

authority and power was reposed in

The fire at the state reform school
was an awful blot to Florida, but if
the legislature will give it genuine
investigation instead of whitewash,
and then take measures to make the
school what it should be, some Of the
stain will be wiped out. We do not
recollect reading of anything in the
last quarter of a century that has
been such damnable disgrace to
any other state as the reform
school" has been to Florida.

Among the regulations that the
prohibitionists in the legislature have
in view are compelling saloons. to
close from p. m. to 6 a. m, abb
solute separation of places where
liquors are sold from cabarets, res
taurants, cafes or, in fact any other
business. No hotels will be allowed to
serve liquors and the wet counties
will be prohibited from shipping
liquors into the dry. With the big
dry majority in both houses, the leg
islature can pass any sort of laws it
chooses enforcing them will not be
SO easy.

The Tampa Times, referring to w.
H. Milton, who is chairman of the
board of managers of the state re-
form school, says that Governor
Trammell did not call for his resigna-
tion after the fire because the gov

politician. The Star thinks that any
man in Mr.. Milton's position, who so
lamentably failed in his duties, would
never have given the governor time
to ask for his resignation.

In an interview given out in New
York, ex-Dictator Huerta of Mexico
declares he was not responsible for
the death of Madero. He refuses to
say who is to blame for the crime,
declaring it is a professional secret,
which his honor as soldier will not
allow him to divulge. He says that
the American government was misled
into the position it took against him,
and points to the fact that in the
eight months since he left Mexico af-
fairs have steadily grown worse.

Huerta left Spain because of popular

just and kind to such men as Huerta,
who insulted its flag, and to the cap

BASEBALL

Manager Hunter says that Citra

Thursday, and he expects Winter
Park for a game the following Thurs
day. He also expects that there will
be an average of two games a week
when the season is in full swing.
Some of the fans remarked Thurs
day that Galloway was not in his
usual form. The fact is that Roy was
entirely out of practice. He had been
out in the country for some weeks,
and had not expected to play. He
was sent for on the morning of the
game, and while he readily respond
ed to the call had some doubt of his
fitness. He pitched a good game,
however.

NO CHANCE TO WIN GLORY
Youthful Recruit Found He Was Not

The irreverent man had been
aroused by talk Of the war to tell an
anecdote, and those about him really
thought that the gravity of the sub.
feet would make him reverent this
time. He said: ~

Think" Minna retorted, and held out
her hand carelessly as II 1t pleased
her to humor him.
He was rather graceful, despite hfs

burst Of cheering rose from the yard.

you brilliant intelleets!" he shouted,
and glared at the wall OF the house in
the direction Of the cheers.

Minna warned him.

the war is over, may l come to calf"
he asked.
His feet were so resolutely planted
on the flags that apparently the only
way to move them was to consent.
