 Eugene Floss. former governor or Massachusetts is also mentioned in connection with the nomination.
 Women Have a Say
 Before deciding whom they will support as the presidential nominee in The national convention, women prohibitlonists will ascertain the views on various issues of the re- spective candidates who have been mentioned. Mrs Florence Slown Hyde, executive secretary of the Women's Prohibition Federation said she has sent letter Of interroga ton to prospective candidates.
 The letter states that the women voters are interested in other issues as well as prohibition and asked for a statement af views on the mhmis sion of views of the Susan E. An- thony federal suffrage amendment legislation Co abolish child labor the federal children's bureau, peace. pre- paredness and world disarmament and legislation Go provide a living wage and other wise protect the la boring classes both men and wo- men.

 The concluding Interrogation asks for a statement of what the candidate has already done as a public oftic- ial or a citizen to have his views as stated enacted into law.
 As there will be no less than one hundred regularly accredited wo- men delegates in the Prohibition con yention. the women believe they hold the balance of power in the nomina- ton of the national ticket, said Mrs Hyde
 The women "drys" have also sent communications to the National Wo- mans Party. Woman's Peace Party, Woman's Trade Union League of America and General Federation Of Woman's Clubs, asking these organi- pations to submit plans iayoring the reforms which they advocate. The blanks thus recommended will be placed in the hands of the resolu- tions committee of the Woman's Fed eration which will draw the blanks that the women prohibtonists will submit for consideration by the regu- lar platform committee and which if turned down by the platform com mittee win be presented from the floor of the convention by woman delegates

EMPTY BOAT IS FOUND
Craft They Left in Picked up Nearly Full of Water Parties Today Are
 out Searching.
THE MISSING Colville Salsyas. R. Salmonson. Louis Hubbard.

There are grave fears on Douglas Island today. with intermittent rays Ot hope. that three Of the best known boys Of this locality have cen drowned in the treacherous warers.
 Several searching parties. headed by the fathers Of che boys are en- raged today in running into all hooks south Of the Channel on the route rom the island to Turner's lake which Is about 25 miles south ct here
 Last Sunday afternoon. Colville GalWas. the 1Syear-Old son Of F. F. Galwas. school clerk. R. SalmOnsOn. 90 Treadwell boy. and Louis Hubbard, I6-year-old son Of R, R. Hubbard. owner of the Douglas News Stand. started for Turner's lake in a row boat with an Evinrude engine at weeks vacation.
 No cause for alarm had been felt for the safety of the party until late yesterday when che boat the boys started out In was found in a water logged position, practically submerg- ed. with the exception Of the bow. and which was sighted by picnic party aboard the launch Amy. The hoat was sighted baf way between OIlvers Inlet and Young's Bay The party aboard the Amy brought the missing boat alongside and made an invcstieation. Fishing tackle and other things were still in the boat having been held in place by the seats.
 No trace ot the boys were found.
 The Amy returned to Douglas and reported the occurrence and last night two parties left for search ot the coast and this morning others went out but up Go late this after noon absolutely no word had been re- ceved from any of the parties.
 Several of the party of the Amy remained near where the boat was found and began diligent search Tor The missing lads.
 Word from the Du POnt powder works was telephOned in this morn ing GO the effect that the man sta tioned there has seen the boys m their boat on the way up to Taku going towards Bishops Point
 Returning fishing parties who pass eI the boys as they were staruns out sunday declare a Taku was blow ne rather threateningly
 When news of the finding or the h.a- first reacehd the Island it was thought by parents and friends alike who arc familiar with the portage which has Co be made before reacn- ing Turner's Lake. that the boat had probably doated loose with the rising .ide and been carried out Of reach whue the boys were hunting or pros meeting. This is the hope enter tai~el this afternoon.
 The report of the missing boys was made to the c. s. marshaIs ol' flee and also to Gov. Strong's oti'ce3 today but no parties were organized rom this side until further develop menfs require action

The Palatka news and advertiser. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1908-19??, 1916-11-17

A recent issue of the Ocala Star
1T is conceded at Laredo, Texas,
that the band of the Second FLORIDA
regiment is the best in that camp;
This is no news to those who visited
Black Point and heard the splendid
music rendered by this excellent Or
ganization." ,
In another item in the same col
unon. the Star says that "the Clear
water Sun is congratulating its town
on the fact that the city council has
made provision for weekly band con-
rerts. The Star hopes the Ocala
council will be able to make provis-
ion next year for weekly, band con-
certs during the summer"
A letter to the editor of The News
from Prof. ]. w. Chattaway, director
Of the Second Regiment band sta
toned at Laredo, Texas, says: Il
hone when we get home there will be
nice band stand there as a surprise
for the boys. Things are very quiet
here; the First and Second batallons
are now on outpost duty along the MO
Grand. The boys are all well ana
having a good time, but will be glad
to get home. And I, myself, hope
to soon be there and give our town
some more muse"
Palatkans will rejoice to know that
our hand has made such a splendid
renutation. We always did feel more
or less pride in the band, but we were
also more or less, especially less,
slow slow about making ample provision
for the weekly band concerts. The
News trusts that when this fine band
returns to Palatka from the border
That the city will be little more lib-
eral m in it's appropriations for its main
tenance.
