! An individual calling himself Major
Van Pelt, M. D." came to Daytona
about a week ago and registered at
one of the hotels as from Verdun.
France. He claimed to have served
ON the stan of General Joffre and posed
as q member of the Van Pelt family
of Philadelphia, his father noted
physician and surgeon. He carried
numerous newspaper clippings con-
corning himself, and cOurted news
paper interviews. .
In the two weeks in which Major
Van Pelt. NJ d." was in this city
The is not in Daytona at the present
time), he ingratiated himself into the
confidence of a number of professional
and business men who are probably
now regretting his absence and the
fact that he left no forwarding address.
The major changed his hotel quar-
tiers. purchased articles of wearing
apparel and other articles from prOmi-
nent business places which were
pleased to have the patronage of so
celebrated q man, but it was the au-
tomObile which caused his undoing
Naturally he needed an automobile
to uphold his position, and he rented

the garages. A gentleman connected
with this garage was familiar with
France, and after hearing some of the
majors stories of that cOHptry became
suspicious and set watch upon him.
Monday Major Van Pelt" went to
the garage and asked to have an extra
tire placed in the car, stating at the
time that he was going to Holly Hill
to attend a sick child for one of the
DaytOna physicians. When he left he
was followed by a man from the gar
age in another car The major" did
not stop in Holly HILL, it was learned,
but kept on to Jacksonville, accompa-
MED by another man and two women,
who had been with him in this city.
The man from the garage was sent to
Jacksonville by train and in the even
ing found the car in front of the
Seminole hotel. He gained possession
of the automobile and set watch
upon the men and women while he
| wired to others in this city of their
presence in Jacksonville. They were
suspicious, however. and managed to
give their guard the slip and disap
pear.
| Was the major" entitled to his title
and are the bills against him collect
able are among the questions which
quite number of the business people
of the city are asking of themselves.
Advertising is a most valuable asset
in the hands of the man who knows
how to use it.

CITY COMMISSIONERS
BUY ROAD MACHINERY

The city commissioners purchased
Monday an Austin combination road
scarifier and roller, the cost being
something over $4,000 The delivery
of the machine is expected in about
month from this time and it will
then be put into use for the improve
ment of the city streets. The machine
is operated by means of either oil or
gasoline. This should prove an i'm

A street sprinkler and sweeper was
also ordered at the meeting Monday.
