LAKELAND MAN
KILLS himself

Lakeland, Aug. S.-A gloom
was cast over this community
Yesterday afternoon by the sui
eide of Luther l.. Bryant, who
shot himself through the head
while standing in the vacant lot
adjoining the city hall. Death
was almost instantaneous. The
act was done in full view OF the
stores and offices on Main street,
among other eye witnesses being
Judge j. p. Thon. pson.
Those who saw the tragedy say
that Mr.. Bryant raised the pistol
to his head with his right hand,
and then lowered it, bringing It
back to his head with both
hands. The ball entered at a
point almost between the eyes
and coming out of the top of the
skull, with the brains oozing out
when the body was reached.
The news has caused a pro-
found shock, as Mr.. Bryant was
one of the last men who would
be supposed to commit such an
act. He was an even tempered,
cheerful man, in reasonably good
financial condition, with most
interesting family, and no appa-
rent reason whatever for such a
rash deed. 1t is said, however,
that he occasionally had spells of
rheumatism and other ailments,
and it is doubtless due to these
causes that he took his life in a
moment of mental alteration.
Mr.. Bryant was about Sc years
of age and a member of the pio-
neer family of that name in Polk
county. He had seven brothers.
among them being Robert and
Emory Bryant, of this city. He
leaves a wife and a large family,
two of his daughters, Misses Eva
and Maggie, having taught in the
high school here. Tie former is
now attending the summer school
at Gainesville.
The jury which was empaneie1
by Judge Thompson Immediately
after the tragedy rendered a YER
dict that the deceased came to
his death by a pistol shot inflict-
ed by his own hand.

APPRENTICESHIP OVER
FATE OF PRISONERS

London. Aug. 9.-Apprehen-
sion exists as to the fate of the
British prisoners taken at the
surrender of Kut FL Amara to
the Turks. Lord Robert Cecil
said in the house OF commons
Yesterday that repeated inquiries
had been made through the Amer
lean embassy at ConstantinOple
to ascertain the whereabouts of
these prisoners, but that no reply
had been received from the porte.
This, he said, inspired cOnsidera-
BILE misgivings as the prisoners
were compelled after the fall of
Kut FL Amara to cross the desert
at the worst season of the year.

KILLS GIRL and
COMMITS SUICIDE
ALABAMA DOCTOR KILLS
~ YEAR OLD GIRL WITH
WHOM HE Is INFATUATED
AND THEN TAKES HIS
OWN LIFE. THE PARTIES
WERE PROMINENT.

Selma, Ala, Aug. 9.-Leita
Patrick, twelve year old daugh-
ter of w. T, Patrick, well to
do farmer residing near LamisOn.
in Wilcox county, Alabama, was
shot and killed by DR.. Charles
Davis, who committed suicide
soon after, according to reports
reaching here. The story brought
here Is that citizens of the COM
munity were so enraged over the
crime that they placed Davis
body in rough pine box and bu-
ried it without ceremony.
Davis was divorced and Is sur
vived by children residing in But
Ter county.
Deputy Sheriff r. L. LOftin
sent from Linden to investigate
the tragedy, declared that Davis
had written a letter to the pa
rents of the girl, telling of his in
fatuation. They objected to his
attentions, because of the differ
ence in their ages, Loftin said.
Davis went to the Patrick
home armed with a shot gun,
found Leita Patrick in the hall
way Of her home, and shot her
twice. the first charge entering
the hip, the second, which must
have proved fatal, entering the
back as the girl attempted to es-
cape from the hall. The girl dead,
Davis is said to have gone about
100 yards from the house, where
he placed the muzzle Of the gun
i'm his mouth and with the aid of
a forked stick pulled the trigger.
The discharge is said to have vir-
tually decapitated him.

R. R. employees
VOTE FOR STRIKE
MEN DEMAND AN EIGHT
HOUR DAY AND TIME AND
\ HALF FOR ALL OVER
TIME. MANAGERS ASK
FOR MORE TIME. BEEN
PENDING FOR MONTHS.

New York, Aug. 9.-Four
hundred thousand railway EN-
plOyes of the country-engineers,
conductors, firemen and trainmen
through the chiefs of their
four brotherhoods, placed before
the managers of the railroads
the question as to whether the
roads were willing to grant their
demands for an eight-hour day
and time and a half for overtime,
or submit to a strike.
The result of the strike vote
taken among the employees dur
ing the last month was presented
to the national conference COM
mittee of railway managers and
showed that an overwhelming
majority were in favor of au-
thOrizing their chiefs to call a
strike.
The railway managers have Civ
en- no definite answer to the re-
newed demands of the men, and
Yesterday it was agreed to adj
journ over until today to give
the managers time for further
discussion.
A. b. GarretsOn, president Of
the Order of Railway COnduc-
tors, notified the managers that
the time for parleying was over
unless rhe roads were ready TO
present Il modified proposal. Eli
sha Lee, for the railroads. said I:
81 am not going to answer your
questions now in a definite form.
/ will take them up with the man
ayers. Whether we have a propO
sitiOn will develop by our own
discussion ="
The crisis in the railroad sit
nation was reached in this city on
June u. when the conference be-
tween the representatives Of 235
railroad systems in the United
States and 100000 employees
failed to arrive at an adjustment
of their differences. The confer
ences began June /, following the
presentation on March 80 of de-
mands by the men for an eight
hour day and time and a half for
overtime.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Charles f,
Hughes last night told an audi
ence that crowded Chicago's big
cOliseum-the hall where he was
nominated for the presidency
what he would do if elected pres
ident of the United States.
Mr.. Hughes charged the pres
ent administration with waste,
extravaganza and vacillation.
He declared that it had not kept
the country out of war, but that
it had fought an ignominious
war in Mexico and had with
drawn from that war ignOmi-
niously. He charged the admins
tratiOn with having brought the
country much nearer to partici-
pating in the European war than
the country would have been had
the administration "stoOd for
American rights"
He declared that it was no
more possible to expect tariff
protection to American indus
tries from a democratic congress
than it would be to get a "revival
sermon out Of disOrderly
house."
The nominee assaulted the adj
ministration also for it's appoint
ments TO office, and declared that
if elected he would appoint to Of
flee only men who were well quail
flied.

LARGER NAVY
SEEMS ASSURED
FIGHT FOR THE BIG NAVAL
PROGRAM SEEMS TO BE
WON BY THE PRESIDENT.
MEASURE WAS CHAM
PlONED BY THE PRESI-
DENT WARMLY.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Admin-
istration leaders believed last
night that they had won their
fight for authorization by con-
gress of the big naval building
program, including four dread
naughts and four battle cruisers
for 1917, drawn up by the senate
naval committee after conference
with President Wilson and Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels.
Majority Leader Kitchin in
serving notice that he would call
up the bill in the house next
Tuesday, announced that Chair
man Padgett, of the house naval
committee, one of those who held
out in conference against the SEN
ate increases would move that
the senate amendments be agreed
to. Early in the day Mr.. Padg-
EFT and Senator Swanson, rank
ing democrat of the senate COM
mittee. had talked over the sub
iect with President Wilson, who
is understood to have reiterated
his demand for a larger navy.
Senator Swanson said last
night that leaders had made a
careful canvass of the situation,
and were confident that the SEN
ate's personnel increases and con-
tinuing building program would
be accepted by the house, along
with the building increases for
1917. A call was sent broadcast
to absentee representatives to be
on hand for the vote Tuesday.
In making his announcement to
the house the majority leader
said separate roll calls would be
taken on the senate amendment
increasing the capital ships for
next year from four to eight; on
the proposal for a general con-
Struction program next year pro-
viding for increased numbers OF
submarines, destrOyers and other
vessels. besides those of the capt.
tai class; on the three year con-
tinuing program; on the person
mel increases: and on an apprO-
priation of S1,0S5,000 for a dry
dock at Charleston. S. G.
That Chairman PaGgett would
make a motion to concur in the
amendment came as n surprise
to opponents of a big naval pro-
gram; they would not concede
defeat, and sent out appeals to-
absent members urging them to
return Tuesday and vote to in.
sist on the house resolution.
Senator Swanson said no doubt
remained that the senate naval
program would be approved.

CENTRAL POWERS
HARD PRESSED
ALLIES SEEM TO BE HAV-
ING EVERYTHING THEIR
OWN WAY, BRITISH, RUS
SLAMS, FRENCH AND EV-
EN- THE ITALIANS CLAIM
ING TO BE WINNERS.

London, Aug. 9.-The entente
allies in the main theatres or the
war have made additional nota-
BILE gains against the Teutonic al
lies. Big advances for them in
France, east Galicia and along
the eastern Italian front are re-
corded in the latest cOmmunica-
tons issued by the allied war of
fices.
In France, General JOffre's men
have taken German trenches
three and three-quarter miles
in length and from 300 to 500
metres in depth in the last two
days; have again won a foothold
in the ThiaumOnt work near YER
dun, and captured two lines Of
German trenches on the Vaux-
Chapitre- ChenOis front. The
British on their part of the bat
tie line in the SOmme region near
GuillemOnt have thrown forward
their line about 400 yards.
The Russians are continuing to
drive their wedge westward into
east Galicia in the region about
Stanislau. Here they have taken
some half dozen additional vii
lagos from the AustrO-Germans,
and according to PetrOgrad, are
continuing to develop their adj
vantage. In all, says Petrograd,
territory amounting to siXty-One
and half square miles has been
captured by the Russians, and the
pursuit of the Austro- Germans is
still going on.
NiZniow, about fifteen miles to
the northeast of Stanislau; Thu
mach, eighteen miles to the east;
Ottynia, fifteen miles southeast,
and NadwOrna, twenty miles TO
the south, are among the latest
towns occupied by the Russians.
Vienna admits that the Aus
TRANS have withdrawn to the re-
gion west of Tlumach, in the face
of superior numbers.
The Gorilla bridgehead, the
key to an advance to Triest and
over which the Austrians and
Italians have fought many nota-
BILE battles, has at last fallen in
to the hands of the Italians. and
the city of Gorilla is being she'll
ed by them in an endeavor to
drive out its defenders. The TAX
ing of the bridgehead came with
the capture of Monte SabOtinO
and Monte San Michele. In the
fighting the Italians took more
than 5000 prisoners and large
number Of guns. machine guns
and a quantity of war materials.
Vienna admits that the Aus
trian troops defending the bridge
were withdrawn to the eastern
Isonzo i'm order to avoid severe
losses to them, but SAYS the fight
ing in the Gorilla region con-
tinues with undated stubborn
ness. and that the Austrians have
repulsed Italian attacks.

BOND ELECTION
POSTPONED
BOND ELECTION DROPPED
FOR THE PRESENT. HAD
BEEN PROPOSED TO BOND
FOR 100000 THE MATTER
Will, BIZ THRESHED OUT
AND TAKEN Up LATER.

Ocala, Aug. 0.-There were
between 200 and 800 delegates
and citizens in attendance upon
the convention to discuss bonds
for permanent roads in the court
house Monday. An expression of
sentiment from each precinct was
asked for by A. r. Griffin, of
Citra. chairman of the meeting.
When it was seen that the sem
timent was against bonding the
county at this time. resolution
was offered by r. F. Rogers, in
structing the county commission
ers not to call the proposed cleo
ton at this time. The resolution
was adopted unanimously.
W. ID. earn, chairman of the
board of county commissioners,
following the offering of the res
OlutiOn, said it was plain the SEN
timent of the county was against
bonds at this time. That being
the case, he thought there should
be no election at present, but
that the people of the county
should continue to investigate
the question Of bonding and of
permanent roads with a view to
making a decision later.
1t was proposed to bond for
100000, and build sand-asphalt
roads.
