T road work in the Punta
Gorda Special Road and Bridge
District is beginning to show up
for itself. Many are the COM
ments that are heard rs TO the
character of the work, and it
seems to be the general opinion
that the widened roads and grad
ing and drainage systems were
all well advised.
Several miles of hard-surfacing
that have been put down near this
city are said to be as fine as any
roads of similar construction in
the state. Ex-Sheriff Freeman, af-
ter driving over a portion of new
ly made road in the vicinity OF
Shell creek, when coming down in
his car from Arcadia, remarked
that it is as good piece of road
work as he has ever seen.
Within few months, there
will be a considerable mileage of
newly hard-surfaced roads radiat-
ing out from this point, as well as
asphalt-paved streets through the

NOTED LAWYER ACQUITTED
Attorney Trabue Acquitted Of Charge
Of Killing Another Lawyer
at Nashville.

Nashville, Tenn.-Chas. C. Traube,
who has been on trial here since Oct.
81, charged with the murder of Harry
S. Stokes, was acquitted of the charge
in the Davidson county criminal court.
The court room was crowded at the
time the verdict was brought in, but
there was no demonstration. The case
was given to the jury Wednesday by
Judge A. B. Neil, after an exhaustive
charge on the various degrees of homi.
eide, the law of self-defense and the
theories of the state and the defense.
The jury received the case at 1000
and returned a verdict of acquittaI
an hour and 20 minutes later.
The tragedy occurred on April 26,
1916. Trabue. one of the most promi.
nent lawyers in Nashville, went to
Stokes private office, he said on the
witness stand, seeking from Stokes a
signed retraction for insulting things
said about him.
At the time the two lawyers were en-.
gagged in a suit growing out of the city
hall scandal, which developed In the
summer of 1915. Stokes had been
pressing the suit vigorously and had
achieved a reputation of statewide pro-
portions.

brotherhood representatives that a
strike poll Of the brotherhood men had
been taken, and that they would strike
unless the railroad agreed to a confer
ence with Joint committee of the four
organizations to discuss pending griev.
ances. The brotherhood representa-

the meditation board II the railroad
would agree not to take advantage of
the delay to employ strikebreakers
and to discharge those now employed.

strikebreakers have been employed.

PAGEANT PLANS DEVELOPING
Several Sites Being Considered For
Big Harahan-Memphls Bridge
Pageant

Memphis, Tenn.-Selection Of a site
on which to give the pageant Mem
phis," which will be one of the promi-
nent features OF the three-day bridge
celebration to be held here on May 1,
2 and 3, commemorating the opening
Of the ]. T. Harahan bridge over the
Mississippi river, was deferred for
several days following a recent meet
Ing of the general committee.
Among the places considered were
DeSoto Park, overton Park and the.
Tri-State Fair Grounds. While no def.
mite decision was made, it is likely
that Overton Park, with its beautiful
scheme, will furnish the best setting
for the scenes.
Selection Of the pageant master in
the person of Prof. Joseph L. Smith
was decided upon. Mr.. Smith has won
an international reputation in his work
and is the man who handled the st.
Louis pageant and masque couple OF
years ago. He is in Paris now, but
will sail soon for this country. A To-
cal director will serve under him to
handle matters when Mr.. Smith is out
Of the city.
A stage large enough to accommo-
date 1000 actors and actresses at one
time also is being considered by the
pageant committee. Mrs. Annah Rob-
inson Watson's play calls for cast of
something like 1000 performers.
Dressing rooms, etc, for this number
OF performers likewise presents knot
ty problem to the committee.
