Experts disagree as TO what sort OF

AGED PRINTER GOES
TO HIS FINAL REWARD

Mr.. /. G.. Beeman, printer who
for the past six months has been
visiting Lakeland at intervals, died
last night at the Savoy hotel, after
an illness of about a week. He was
rs years of age, and a printer and a
gentleman of the old school. Mr..
Beeman was only slightly known in
this city except by newspaper people,
and those who knew him best held
him in high esteem, as he possessed
the happy faculty of making friends
and keeping them. He was mem
Der of the typographical Union and
that organization was represented
here today by Mr.. N. M. Sauls,
president of the Tampa local, who
came over this morning to see about
the final preparations and burial.
All efforts have so far failed to To-
cate any of the dead mans relatives,
and he will be inferred in Lakeland
cemetery tomorrow morning.
Funeral services were impressiyely
conducted at o'clock this afternoon
by Rev. ]. Edgar Wilson, editor OF
the Florida Christian Advocate, at
the undertaking parlors of Gentry &
Co., who have the body in charge
and, on account of rain, 1t was de-
cided to put off interment until to-
morrow morning.
All of the printers of the city who
could do 80 attended the funeral, and
several others we're present to wit
ness and assist in the last that can
be done for this good old man.
DR.. Herman Watson was the at
tending physician and worked very
hard to prolong life, but the burden
of nearly a century of years together
with complication of ailments was
too much to combat. Mr.. Beeman has
heard the call go" and answered,
his lease" is set OUT" his form"
is locked" for the last time and he
has gone to have his string" meas
ured by the Foreman.
May he rest in peace.

KNOTT TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER
TOMORROW TO MAKE RECOUNT

Jacksonville, Aug. 10.-When
asked today if any immediate action
will be taken regarding a recount of
votes in the eight Duval county pre-
cincts in which the inspectors re-
fused to obey the order issued there
for out of the Circuit court, Thomas
B. Adams, counsel for w. V. Knott,
stated that the decision of the State
Supreme court yesterday UNFOLDING
the legality of the Bryan primary
| law as to second-choice votes would
not bring about an enforcement of
the courts order here until after Fri
day, when a hearing upon answer of
fact probably will be made and sub
mitted before the Supreme court.
Mr.. Adams stated further that the
situation had simmered down to a
matter of fact, and that the next
probable move by counsel for Cats
would be to show, in this way, why
thesrecount in Duval and other coun-
ties should not be made in compli-
ance with the ruling already made
After a decision on this point is
made, and if favorable to Mr.. Knott
an enforcement of Judge Simmons
order will be asked for in precincts
Z, 8, 23, &c, IA. 8 and A Precincts
IA and 23 are in the country and the
others in the city.
When these recounts are complete
Mr.. Adams said that he was satisfied
that demand would be made on the
State canvassing board for a certifi-
cate of nomination for Governor for
Mr.. Knott.
Mr.. Knott, who is in the city to-
day, has stated that If he is not de-
clared the nominee of the Democratic
party he will under no circumstances
permit his name to be placed upon
the ballot in November.

DR.. Howsley was sentenced to ten

has been pardoned after serving a

cape against his good behavior rec

MOST ACCIDENTS IN HOMES
Majority Of Injuries Can Be Traced
to the Carelessness of
individuals.

The safety first" movement is or
dinarily understood to mean caution
In public, in crossing streets or board
Ing cars, or carefulness In the factory
In handling tools or machinery, but, ac-
cording to the report of the coroner
OF Cook county, Illinois, there is more
need for safety first" methods in the
home than In the street or factory.
In ii years of the Chicago coroner's
incumbency the total number of deaths
by accident investigated by his office
was 29,S64. OF these 1924 were "ac-
cidents at home" and 14623 Outside
the home"
Most of the accidents at home are
traceable to carelessness. Burns and
scalds caused many deaths. Asphyxia-
tlon, poisoning, suffocation, falls, ex-
pogure and neglect, careless use of
matches, firearms gas and oil stoves
gasoline, liquid stove polish, defective
stovepipes and flues, SCOT, etc, cost
thousands of lives. In Cook county in
1915, 105 children under five years of
age were killed by scalds and burns.

Writer Throws Some New Light on
the Eventual Fate of
Bicycles.

Perhaps you have wondered what
has become of all the old BICYCLES. Not
so long ago everybody had one-fa-
Their, mother, children and aunts from
the country. And then, in the night,
motor cars got cheaper and all the
bicycles disappeared. Like the Palm
Beach suits they are all here in Flor
ida. There are bicycles everywhere,
on the fiat, hard beautiful roads, on
the curbstones, leaning against the
piazzas, in the streets. If the mo-
tor car has swept them from the north
ern streets, it has not done that here.
Men, women and children on BICYCLES
whirl about the streets, tingling their
little bells and the motor-car drivers
look out for them. Just beyond the
veranda at Palm Beach were hundreds
OF bicycles waiting to be hired. Out
on the shaded roads were other hun
dreds bearing their gayly attired bur-
dens.
In the lobby, where l was making my
way to the desk, were dozens of wom-

Asia Minor" is geographical term

The name dates only from the fifth

evidently as a novelty. The Roman

'LeVantine" morals, particularly in
the matter of honesty, are a byword,
as might be expected from such a
