C. WALL IS
HEARD IN SUPPORT
OF HIS CANDIDACY
TAMPA MAN, RUNNING FOR THE
UNITED STATES SENATE, DE-
LIvERED ADDRESS TO LARGE
CROWD OF CITIZENS.

Perry G. Wall of Tampa, candidate
for the United States senate, adj
dressed large number of citizens at
Mallory Court, last night, IN support
ct his candidacy. Mr.. Walls address
mainly follow cd along the lines of
that delivered here short time ago
when he srtke from the same plat
form. The speaker us,i number of
laugh-prcdl eng ancclmes n The
course of MS talk. A large number
Oh wcrnen pt7A interested listener.
Mr. Wall WIS int1'odd: ID by DR.. w.
A, Rawls. The speaker charged the
three opposition candidates with in
sincerity, saying that, in wrangling
among themselves, they had lodged
the main and big issues, to air their
own quarrels. He reiterated his
former promises that, in the event of
his election, there would be no dam
ger of working to move the naval or
aviation station to Tampa or anywhere
else; that Pensacola was the logical
place for such stations, and, so far
as lay in his power if he was sent to
the capital, he would see to it that
nothing in the way of governmental
properties were taken away.
Referring to the claims of Mr..
Bryan that the latter had been an in
fluence in having the naval aviation
station established at Pensacola, Mr..
Wall read an excerpt from the report
of the naval board of officers, which
was Incorporated in letter from the
secretary of the navy, stating that
the board, after carefully examining
all other sites, had decided that PEN
sacola was eminently the most suit
able spot, and had recommended this
place on that account. He said that,
five years ago, when Mr.. Bryan was
sent to Washington for the first time
the Pensacola navy yard was closed
and charged that if the senator is re-
turned another five years, "you wit
likely have no harbor here"
Referring to Mr.. Trammell, he sale
that the latter had never taken par
in anything of a public nature il
his own town; that he could not MAKE
a living at the practice of law, AMI
that state employees were going ovel
the state making speeches in Tram
mell's behalf.
; SO far as Mr.. GiIchrist was con
cerned,. he said, he could understand

that Tampa was busy building up
commercial enterprises, and, so far as
he had learned, there had been no
mention of trying to land either the
naval station nor the flying school by
the people of his home town. He also
denied that there had been the con-
certed effort alleged of trying to get
the centennial by Tampa On the con-
trary, he said, the people of his home
city and county are busy developing
their county fair, their Gasparilla
celebration, etc.
Mr.. Wall referred to Mr.. Bryan
as being supported by the corporation
press of Florida, or rather by mum

STREET
SEWER IS CLOSED
BY CITY ENGINEER

EXISTED AT .BAYVIEW PARK
LAST YEAR WILL BE COR
RECTED.
City Engineer Thornton and force
of city employees have completed the
work of closing the old Romano street
sewer and at the same time have
remedied the condition of the main
sewer outlet, which has not been OPP
Grating satisfactorily for more than
year.
With the closing of the Romano
street sewer it is believed the waters
of Bayou. Texar viii no longer: be
contaminated. Experts last year said
that the old sewer emptying its con-
tents under Muscogee wharf was the
course of contamination.
City forces have been engaged for
several weeks in relaying a portion
of the main sewer outlet and closing
the Romano sewer and would have
finished the work sooner but for the
heavy rain of last week.

LAURENCE MUGGED'
At REQUEST OF THE
OFFICIALS
MAN WHO SPRANG FROM DECK
OF SHIP WHEN GOING TO SEA,
STILL MAINTAINS THAT IVES
TERN SHERIFF WANTS HIM.

Ed. Laurence, the Russion who
sprang from the deck of the British
ship Centurion while the latter was
passing through the channel en- route
to the gulf, was "mugged" yester-
day, at the request of officials at Elk
River, Idaho, and his photograph was
last night mailed to the northwestern
state. Should it prove that Laurence
is the man wanted, there will be ar
engagements made to have him sent
back there, where, according to the
latest admission on the part of Lau-
renee, he is wanted for some trouble

another man he said that the sailors
on the ship were plotting to kill him

but slipped away quietly.
Poor Mable," exclaimed Louise.
She'll never get hers done"

other girls.
When Mable arrived at her home
her mother noticed that she looked
very downcast. What makes you
so sober, Mable?" she asked.

Mable smiled and felt more
cheerful. With her mothers words
in mind she continued to sew pa
tiently and steadily every day.
When graduation day came il
was a happy Mable who took her
place looking neat and pretty in a
white dress of her own making.

Boys Go Fishing;
Have Grand Time

Bobby and Buster were twins, six
years old. They heard their grand
father say he was going fishing
early the next morning. When
they asked him If they could go
too, they thought he was going to
say NO" because of his look, and
frowning. he said, why, I should
say yes"
When they heard this they jump
ed up and down and clapped their
hands. They could hardly go to
sleep at all that night, until their
mother said, you cannot go unless
you 60 to sleep" Then they closed
their eyes and dreamed that they
were fishing.
About six o'clock they woke up.
Grandfather was not up yet, so they
went into his room and got his
fishing pole, and went down stairs.
Buster was fishing and Bobby was
the fish. Bobby got his nightgown
caught in the fish hook. They could
not get it out, so they started up
stairs. Buster fell over Fido, their
dog and upset a chair.
Grandpa heard the noise and
came hurrying down stairs. When
he saw them he pretended to be
angry. He said. What are you
doing up so early?"
Buster was crying and Bobby
was ready to. Grandfather took the

Tiers had agreed that we could have
all the fun we wanted, as long as
we didn't go out on the street. AT
first the boys didn't think much
of the scheme, but when they found
they could fix up everything they
wanted to, to scare the girls, and
especially when one mother prom

Every single one of us had some
thing to do for the party, and no
one would tell the others what they
we're planning.
The party was held in the house
that had the largest rooms, and
the most spooky cellar, and we
surely made use Of every inch. We
all came masked and when we
found that there were an extra
number of girls, we discovered that
half the boys had used their fair
sisters clothes. Then we had an
