BAND CONCERT
SATURDAY NIGHT
WAS ENJOYABLE

The concert given by the band last
Saturday night in front of the Royal
theatre was an agreeable surprise to
our citizens. We overheard one man
remark that at was the best small
band that he had ever heard play in
the state"
There are only nine members of the
band at present, and an effort will be
made to increase the membership and
bring it up to proper band proper
tions. 1t seems that this ought not
to be difficult undertaking in a city
the size of Tarpon Springs, and GER
tainly would not be if our citizens dis
played the right civic pride and inter-
est in it.
Sarasota, town no larger than
Tarpon Springs, boasts one of the best
bands in the state, tastefully uniform
ed, and the people down there are
justly proud of it. They are in con-
slant demand for all kinds of public
affairs. In Kissimmee, we are told
the citizens of the city have contrib
uted monthly purse of $50 to be
paid the leader of the band for his
services and trouble in keeping up the
band, getting the members out to
practice regularly, etc. This plan
might be adopted here, or some other
plan calculated to bring about the de-
sired results. No better advertisement.
of public spirit in Tarpon Springs
could be devised than to have a splen,

this city waken the echoes on the

Forthcoming South Florida fair, ant
at the festivities at Plant field. Ii

Smith sisters, each one of them 6

would excite the admiration of those
who heard them play and make the

state.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 11.-Thomas

lican presidential nomination, made
the announcement of his intention TO
vote and work for President Wilson's

"Not since 1860 has any campaign

FORTRESS OF
S|L|STR|A FALLS;
RUSSIANS WIN

London, Sept. 11.-Continuing their
advance in Western Dobrudja, the
German and bulgarian forces have
captured the old Bulgarian fortress OF
Silistria, which lies on the eastern
bank of the Danube about twenty-five
miles northeast of Turtukai and sixty
miles east of Bucharest, the capital
of Rumania, and about an equal dis
lance south of the Constanza-Bucha-
rest railway line. The capture of the
fortress is announced by the Berlin
war office which adds that the Ruman-
ians and Russians fighting in Dobrud-
ia apparently have suffered very con-
siderable losses during the last few
days.
In Banat, north of Orsova, however
the Roumanians are keeping up THEN
advance against the Austrians, having
compelled the Austrian right wing,
after it had pushed them back two
and half miles, to withdraw to its
former position under strong coun-
ter attack. Attempts by the Ruman'
ians to advance against heights west
of Csik Szereda, were repulsed. In
Southern Bukowina, near the junction
of the Hungarian and Roumanian Dor
ders, the Germans are in contact with
the Rumanians.

At Fort Myers, on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 18th, the September quarterly
meeting of the Central Florida High
ways association will be held and will
be called to order at 8:45 a. m. in the
City Council chamber. This should

The routing of highways-the Dixie
Highway, the Tamiam Trail, the Par

executive committee will meet at $3.50
Several matters of importance will
be taken up at these meetings. Fort
Myers is arranging a pleasant enter
tainment, and every member of the
association should make an effort to
be present, and bring other good
roads boosters with him. This asso-
citation should have additional mem
bers this year, and you are requested
to sign them up and send in the funds

problems, any one of which, decided
the wrong way, would have had dis
astrous consequences. Wilson's de-
cisions, so far, have not got us into
any serious trouble, nor are they like
ly to.
Peace With Honor
HE has given us peace with honor.
This talk about the United States be-
ing despised is nonsense. Neutrality
is mighty trying policy, but back Of
it are international law, the rights Of
humanity and the future of civiliza-
ton.
with reference to Mexico, / think
that the president has acted wisely,
justly and courageously. 1t was right
that the United States should not
have recognized such a murderous
personality as Huerta. / do not be-
lieve that we should have interviewed,
nor do l believe that we should inter-
vene now. Mexico is a troublesome
neighbor just now, but war and con-
quest are not going to make her a
better one.

first was against preparedness. Per-

square deal, he finds out that he has
not placed self before duty and that
he has not prospered as he surely
would have had he placed self first
and been blind as to the interest of

who performs his sworn duty to the
public often finds out that he can't
be reelected for it takes money and
he hasn't any left, but he can hold his
head high for he had kept his oath.
The Leader being convinced that
there is no hope of the county COM
missioners compelling the contractors
to take up the inferior lugged brick
which are being laid on their side to
make them cover more ground, it sug.
gested that it may be. possible to gel
the commissioners to see that the
brick were laid on their edge as they
were intended to be laid by the max.
ers, with the lug in the ground ano
the smooth surface on top, and said
no doubt, this would make a pretty
good road. The Leader feels that a
compromise is better thaneto lose en-
tirely and the Times takes advantage
of this statement to toss a logged
brick at The Leader. We are little
inclined to think that the Times sees
the lugged brick through smoked
glasses and feels their rough sides
with gloved hands. And we predict
that The Times will print a story
next Wednesday stating that "some
of the commissioners inspected the
invitation of The Times, accompa-
MED by representative of The Times,
and they all declare the work satisfac-
tory and the road good as the best, ~
or words to that effect, while the St.
Petersburg Independent, which is
making hard fight for the tax pay
ers and does not seem to be counting
favors from either the commissioners
or the brick people, or the contractors
or even the McCrary company, will
continue the fight against the contin-
uation of the building of inferior
roads, and against the county's money
being wasted and paid out for the
benefit of contractors against the best
interests of the taxpayers.
The st. Petersburg Independent is
fighting for the taxpayers of Pinellas
county as will be seen in the following
from Saturdays issue, and we ask the
taxpayers to note the difference in the
attitude of the Independent and the
Times on this big question and decide
which of them is in sympathy with the
taxpayers of Pinellas county:

COMPROMISE SUGGESTED

The following appeared in the Tar
pom Springs Leader yesterday after
noon:
at is not reasonable to suppose that
the wire-cut logged brick which are
being laid on a part of the Pinellas
county roads have absolutely no mer-
it. The manufacturing company no
doubt knows, and the brick themselves
prove, that they were manufactured
for a purpose, and that purpose was
not to build lot of poor roads in Pr
nellas county.
"The Tugs on these brick were in
tended to be laid in a cement founda-
ton. The Jugs would then make each
brick solid in its own place, even
though small space was left be-
tween each brick. This would be a
good thing were the brick being laid
in cold climate where the ground
froze in the winter, which woulc
cause much contraction and expan.
sion at different seasons and the ten
dency would be for the road to bulge
up when the brick expanded. The lus

'B0WDOIN HOCKEY
May BE CLASSED
VARSITY SPORT

Brunswick. Me-, Nov. 2.-Hockey may
be a recognized varsity sport at Bow
doing this year. and team will be maze
up to play other colleges. anyway. BOW
dom had a hockey team last year which
defeated Bates twice. but the students
played under the name of Brunswick
Hockey Club and did not have the official
sanction Of the college. There has been
an agitation for q larger rink this year,
but lack of finances will require the use
Of the rink near Hubbard hall again. The
logical location for a hockey rink is the
Delta, a field between Bath street and
Harpswell street. where the class games
are played. but for sport as yet played
unoff1cially In the college 1t is doubtful
II an appropriation would be made for
the necessary work.
There Is excellent hockey material in
Bowdoin and the team last year played
in a fashion which would warrant con-
tests with other colleges. There have
been class games on the college rink the
past two years, and from these games
sufficient material was found to make q
college team.
Among the best Of last years hockey
players were Boyd W. Bartlett ~. of
Castine. who was elected captain OF the
team for the coming season, Noel c. Lit
tie II. of Brunswick, Charles b. Mac
Ininch 10, of st. Stephens, n. B., and
Robert T. Burr 10 of Dorchester, Mass.
Two other members OF last years team,
littlefeld and Brown. have left college.
The Athletic Council has been con-
sdering making hockey a regular COL
lege sport. and letters would be award
ed. perhaps B with crossed hockey
sticks. On account of the uncertainty
Of the winters and the doubtful condi-
ton Of an outdoor rink, the arrang-
ing of a schedule would be difficult, and
the dates would have to be tentative
in most cases. There is a possibility
Of Maine championship series in
hockey. and last year there were nego-
tations with Wesleyan for O game.
Bowdoin is getting into close relations
with this Connecticut college, for the
two are similar in many ways. and there
is good chance that the twoamay play
hockey this winter.
The rink this year will be started in the
near future and will be of the same d.
rhtnsions as the last years rink, but the
sideboards will be higher. The rink, on
account of the lay of the land, is long
and narrow. and while it has the required
area of standing rink, the dimentions
are somewhat different. The rink is IN
almost continuous use during the winter
afternoons, for there are interclass and
interfraternity games as we'll as those
with outside teams. There was a chance
for the team to make a trip to Canada
for game last season, but there was
no official backing from the college. The
team played at the Portland Country
Club last winter. 1t is probable that
hockey would be put on a par with fenc-
ing at first rather than with Bowdoin's
four major sports-footba1l. baseball.
track and tennis. The fencing team has
annual matches with Harvard. Yale and
Springfield. II the weather is favorable
hockey will probably start directly after
the Thanksgiving vacation. Already the
men have been practicing at Collins pond.

BAY STATE GOING

Combing Breakers and 60-Mile
Gale Making Great Inroads in
Destruction of the Wrecked
Steamer

Portland. Me-, Nov. 24.-Battered by the
huge seas following in the path OF the
6o-mile-an-hour southeast gale Of last
night, weakened by the blasts Of dyna-
mite used during the past few days for
the purpose of freeing the boilers and
other machinery from the hull. the half
dismantled hulk that two months ago was
the passenger steamer Bay State was to-
day making her last desperate fight
against the forces OF nature in her last
resting place among the jagged rocks Oft
the Cape shore.
Swept from stem to stern by the comb
ing breakers of the high-running seas,
torn to the hull timbers from bow to near
ly 'midships, the wreck rolled wildly IN
the waves and even before noon threaten
ed to succumb to the avalanches of wa
ter hurled against it. Masses of wreck
age from the battered superstructure
washed ashore during the day and the
Cape was lined with natives busy with
the work of salvaging fire wood. while
throngs of souvenir seekers dug through
the piles of wreckage in search OF me-
mentos to mark the wreck of the sig
steamer.
For two months the Bay State has rest
ed on the lodges of Mcl<enney's Point on
an even keel as though moored in mid
stream and without showing the slight
est evidence of being the total wreck she
is. Storm after storm has swept over the
exposed point, the wind reaching in sew
eral instances a velocity of GO miles all
hour, but such was the working of Ma
ture that the big hvk was protected by
the high shore of the cape from the rake
of the wind and the Bay State minded the
storms not at all. :.
However. the heavy gale of last night
veered into the southeast and attacked
the wreck with all the force accumulat-
ed through the unobstructed sweep of
the North Atlantic. Piece by piece the
forward superstructure was torn free
from the hull and hurled upon the
rock-bound shore of the Cape only a
few feet distant, and before noon ~but
little remained abAye the water line for
ward of the big paddle boxes. More
than a score of men with horses and
ground and almost as rapidly as the
waves washed the wreckage ashore 1t
was thrown in high piles along the
shore out of reach Of the combers
which dashed over the wreck and
against the rocks beyond. Almost as
early as the saege crews came the
souvenir hunters by electric cars and
automobiles and the shore was literal
~ combed for bits of the wreckage that
would serve as souvenirs of the wreck.
At noon the wreck was tottering be-
fore the onslaught of the waves and
threatening to collapse while with ev-
cry fresh attack bits of wreckage was
washed free from the hulk. While it
is not believed that the Bay State could
have withstood the wind and waves Of
last nights storm it is thought that
the hull was considerably weakened by
the action of. the blasting done by the
workmen in freeing the boiler and 9TH
er machinery last Sunday.

RESIGNATION
LONG BELIEVED
INEVITABLE

Petrograd Nov. 24.-(Via London,
Nov. 25.--The resignation of Boris
Vladimirovitch Sturrner as premier
and foreign minister which became
known today with the announcement
Of the appointment Of M. 'Trepoff as
premier, had long been accepted as an
inevitable outcome of the struggle be-
tween the presnet cabinet and the
Duma. 1t caused no more than mild
surprise and this was due less to the
event itself than the rapidity with
which the situation matured since the
definite break between the Duma and
the government
It is almost impossible to overesti-
mate not only the political but the ma
tional significance of the Duma VIC
tory. since for the first time in history
Russian public opinion is considered
to have triumphed over influences
which were regarded as antagonistic
to good government. M. Trepoff's ap-
pointment to the post Of premier is
greeted with satisfaction by the news
papers. which. however, express the
opinion that this is only the first step
taken toward carrying out the pro-
gram which is dictated by present po-
litical necessities. According to the
Rech, the resignation Of M. Sturmer
is the first occasion in the course Of
Russia's constitutional history which
clearly establishes between the gov
eminent and the majority the voice of
the Duma.
Further changes must follow" say
the Rech. the most important Of which
Is the dismissal of the minister Of the
interior and the appointment Of the
proper person as foreign minister"
NJ. Trepoff belongs to the Conserva-
tive group. He has held prominent
court positions and assisted in con-
ferences under Imperial decree to con-
slider changes in the Duma and the
Imperial counsel in 1915.
