some inquiry by the equipment
branch was made 1t looked like a
special would have to be operated to
carry the crowds. In the absence of
advice to the contrary, however, no
extra equipment was added to the

Capt. Cusachs wired to different

was in the afternoon, after No. 3

it was then learned that kilograms

was the reported case at Tallahassee
at Quincy, at Lake City, and other
points. AS last resort, wire was
sent to the chief of police at jack

negro could be halted there and ar
rested. No advices had been received
up to late hour.
