The railroads want arbitration; the
brotherhoods stand out against arbi-

cede the eight-hour day; the brother

to anything the President has suggest

Congress and asked that he be given
power to impress the railroad mana

that in case the strike that has been
ordered shall go into effect he will be
in position to keep the train service of
the country in operation as military

BOAT CAREFULLY
GUARDED ON
ALL SIDES
TRIP OF 81 DAYS WAS UN-
EvENTFUL; SHIP ONLY SUB
MERGED 100 MILES OFF THE
BRITISH COAST

M New London, Nov. 1.-The Ger
man merchant submarine Deutsch-
land arrived here this morning and
was elaborately guarded. Guards
from the German steamer Willehad
and q number of detectives kept all
visitors away. The Wnllehad pro-
tected one side with a floating fence
pier; the river bank was on the other
side where wires were connected
with an electric gong in the Office,
these being stretched between the
piling and under the pier.
The German merchant submarine
Deutschland, which arrived from
Bremen had a cargo of $50 tons of
dyestuffs, medicines and chemicals.
The voyage of twenty-one days was
declared uneventful, Preparation was
made to unload the vessel as soon as
permission was granted. Captain
Koenig, commander of the Deutsch-
land, and Captain Hinsch of the
Eastern Forwarding company were
uncommunicative about the trip.
. They promised to see newspaper men
later. Crowd thronged the docks,
but they were unable to see the
Deutschland.
The Deutschland brought letter
! to the German ambassador. The sub
marine was submerged for 120 miles
near the British coast.

Toxic, Oct 1.-The electric car

the tiny and artistic rikisha to the
wall
Not so very long ago Toxic was
filled with fleet riskisha runners
Wealthy families boasted of their ku-

tall and strong, are now scarcely
met with.
Today the japanese gentleman
who can afford neither carriage or

With the reduction of the number,
the price Of the public rikisha has
steadily increased until it has almost
become luxury for the masses of

to employ any means to attain the
desired end.
Sth. Because the reports from
Alabama to the effect that he was
there part owner in a whisky busi-
ness and the persistent rumors that
have been afloat in this city for
months concerning the extortion of
money from the whisky clubs of this
city, with which to finance Mr.. Cats
campaign lead me to believe not only
that his prohibition declarations are
insincere, but also that If he should
be elected Governor the race track

get any kind of protection they
wanted, if they are willing to pay
for it.
9th. Because a man who will sow
the seeds of anarchy and disrespect
for the courts and constituted au-
| thorities to such an extent that his
own counsel, Mr.. Flournoy, is moved

why he, as a Prohibitionist, Inde-

otherwise, should receive the vote of

deavored to state in writing, in as
brief space as follows, the reasons
why the Honorable w. " Knott is
entitled to the vote of every Demo-
cratic elector in thfs State and why
he should be elected Governor:
1st. Because it has been deter
mined in the sundry and various
ways pointed out in my letter to Mr..

inee of the Democratic party for the
office of Governor.

DO MOSQUITOES HATE YELLOW?

San Francisco, Cal, Nov 1.-"Wear
yellow and bluff the mosquito, is the
slogan of scientists who are fighting
this little pest and who have discov-
cred the carnivorous insects anti
pathy to that primary color. Their
discoveries are supported by the testi-
mony of United States Marines just
returned here from the Philippines,
who attribute their immunity from
mosquito-bites and malarial infection
to the fact that their khaki uniform
is of yellow hue.
The wise summer vacationist of the
future will bear in mind this message
of hope from scientists and U. 8. Ma

I. B. Adams Cites Difference
In Two Candidates For Gov.

The most valid reasons why the
Rev. Sidney j. Cats is not entitled
TO the vote of any Democrat; these
reasons being cited by Hon. T. B.
Adams, of Jacksonville, who was in
close touch with every step in the
recount of the governorship contest:
1st. Because it has been deter
mined in the sundry and various
ways pointed out in my letter to Mr.
Flournoy that Mr.. Cats is not the
Democratic nominee for Governor
End. Because Mr.. Cats Alabama
record shows that he is political
off-cast of that State.
3rd. Because the best people of
Alabama, particularly leading citi-
zens of Pleasant Hill and Selma,
where Mr.. Cats formerly lived, give
him a bad reputation, and are of the
firm conviction that if he were elect
eded Governor of Florida he would
signalize his administration with un-
paralleled extravaganza and corrup-
tion, selling out to the highest bid
der without compunction.
Nth. Because his gross insults to
our high school girl graduates, their
fathers and mothers. brothers and
sweethearts, show him to be a man
unfit and unworthy to be governor.
or to be a member of the Board OF
Control of our higher institutions OF
learning. or to hold any other office
of honor and trust.
5th. Because his use of vile cpl
thets and unspeakable language in
the presence of two hundred ladies.
as he did in his speech at Gaines
willie, shows him to be political ruf-
fan, and unfit to occupy the Cover
nor's mansion or any other position
of gidnity.
9Th. Because his unwarranted at
tack upon our beloved old soldiers
who will soon go to join their COM
rades of the lost cause, shows that
he is at heart a Republican of the
same stripe as Nelson A. Miles and
lhis emissary, Billy Parker.
7th. Because Of numerous false
hoods which he has told up and down
1.-The State about the recounts. and
labout Mr.. Knott personally, which
falsehoods have from time to timt
been proven on him, shows that he Ii
