The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-07-24

Allie Angles luck has changed
now, we are sure. His candidacy for
matrimony had most satisfactory
termination, and he's safely elected,
even if he never files a statement of
his campaign expenses in this race.

Neither a fanatic nor Jelly

This description could not apply to

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-07-24

The Evening Telegram has been
asked why the recent colnty bond
issue did not take care of connecting
up the streets of Lakeland with the
county roads at the same time the
roads are built. Now, we hope ev-
erybody is sufficiently we'll informed
to know that the county can not
build streets for Lakeland or for any
other incorporated city or town, ex-
cept under some agreement whereby
the county would be reimbursed. At
the same time, it was very import
ant that ON main travelled through
highways there should not be al
lowed to exist gaps of considerable
length simply because these breaks
might be within the corporate linn
its of a city or town. Therefore, 1t
was agreed to provide in the bond
issue for such portions of the system
of through county roads as passed
through the towns and let the towns
reimburse the county from their pro-
portion of the road tax funds. 1t was
the intention to do this in the case
of all incorporated places in the
cunty, but when the engineers
reached Lakeland they found the
streets leading out to the country
roads were apparently being already
taken care of by the icty-that is,
the City Commissioners had already
had a survey made of these streets
and advertisements were being pub
1ished for bids to pave them. Natur-
ally, therefore, the engineers did not
include these streets in their etsi-
mates, and the attempt to improve
them by ne city having failed, they
are left provided for all around.
This is mol fault, particularly;
but a condition exists that must be
remedied, or considerable injury will
accrue to Lakeland. The Chamber of
Commerce, always on the job, has
worked out a plan whereby these
streets can be connected up with the
county roads, and as soon as it can
be presented to the City Commission
ers and the County Commissioners,
we believe their cooperation can be
secured and that this more impor-
tant improvement can be effected.

WATCHES ROBBER
 LOOT HIS STORE
P. Stankiewcz Astonishes Police When He Tells How He Could
 Have Caught RObbcr

Yes, Oswald, a boob is an awful thing!
 Detective Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth was almost knocked off his feet, figuratively speaking, this morning g when P. Stanwkiewcz, who conducts 8 him how he had stood within his store at 2:3O o'clock this morning and watched a "man with a mous- tache" rob his window while he stood passively by and then, when the man had disappeared, yelled for the police
 Stankiewcz sleeps in his store and said that at 2:30 o'clock he was awakened by the sound of crashing glass. He found that the front win dow of his store had been broken, so he went to the rear of his room and got a pane of glass to make some re- pairs. Returning to the front of the store he beheld a, man on the side- walk with an arm in the window taking various things.
 He was so near I could have grabbed his hand" Stankiewcz de- clared. Instead, however, he per nitted the rObber to take two re- volvers and three gold chains, tapped him lightly on the wrist in the most approved "fussy Freddie" fashion, then yelled for the police.
 The storekeeper's only excuse for his act was that he was sleepy

LETTER CARRIER
 LEAVES FOR FRONT
Old Glory, and Soldiers Marching Away to War Causes Letter Car
 rier to Re-EnliSt.

Impressed with the sight of the khaki uniformed soldiers as they marched away to entrain for Mantle, and reminded of the pleasant days spent as a member of the Connecticut National Guard, Donald K. MacLagan, a letter carrier at the local office has reenlisted in the service and is now a member of Go. I. During the past weekk MacLagan evinced no outward signs of the enthusiasm that was burning within him and it was not until he reported at the office at 1:3O o'clock Saturday afternoon that he sought Postmaster Delaney, and se- cured permission to re-enlist. It was with pride that permission was grant ed.
 Meritorious service in the ranks gained for MacLagan advancement after his first enlistment in 1898 until he finally was made second lieutenant in the company, serving until he was retired four months ago. He now re- turns to a different company with the simple rank of private.
 So determined was MacLagan to re- join the guardsmen that he was un- able to deliver his mail Saturday aft ernoon, a substitute carrier being se- cured to complete his duties. Post master Delaney said today that in formation governing the soldiercar- rier's case had been forwarded to Washington regarding whether a sub- stitute would be appointed or a perma- nent carrier be assigned during the absence of the regular man. John F. Fitzgerald is the senior substitute carrier and in event of a permanent place being created he will receive the appointment.

MILK STATION OPENS

Under the direction of two compe- tent nurses, Misses O'Den and Kiniry, the New Britain Milk Station opened this morning at the Burritt school. The station will undoubtedly be open the year round in order that it may be more efficient. Today a number of mothers took their little babies to the station where they could pur- chase pure milk at cost prices and a number had their infants weighed, that they might watch to see how the baby hrives under proper con- ditions. As the season progresses and the mothers learn more about the station it is confidently expected that the two nurses will be kept extremely busy.

Both Common and Preferred Slump Whole Market Irregular

New York, June 26.-Wall St. 10:30 a. m.-Severe declines in the issues of the Corn Products company, whose dissolution has been ordered by the federal court, featured today's initial trading. The common stock opened with a single block of 5000 shares at 15 to 1 5 1-2 against last weeks final quotation of 19 IA, and the preferred fell 8 to S8, soon extending its loss to ten points.
 Tn other quarters of the list the tendency was again towards irregu- larity, changes for the most part be- ing limited to fractions. Tennessee Copper and Industrial Alcohol, recent weak features, made gains of a point. Selling of Reading and Mexicans created general heaviness later.
 Wall St., Closing.-Reading and other active issues, particularly muni- tions and petroleums, registered low est prices in the final hour. The clos ing was weak.

sf CONSERVATOR REMAINS.
Attorney Noble E. Pierce Withdraws
 Petition of Fred O. Gilbert.

Attorney Noble E. Pierce, counsel for Fred O. Gilbert, who petitioned the probate court for the removal of conservator appointed by the court some time ago, this morning withdrew as petitioner and Judge E. F. Gaffney dismissed the petition.
 Objection to the removal of the conservatorship was made by Judge George w. Klett, representing Mrs Gilbert and the children and Cor poration Counsel T. F. Cooper, repre- senting the charity department, also objected. When Attorney Pierce learned that objections existed and the nature of the trouble in the Gill bert family he immediately withdrew from the case. Gilbert it is said, was prepared to turn his property over to his son had the withdrawal of the conservator been allowed, but it was feared if this were permitted the rest of the family might be left in the lurCh.

FOR RELIEF IF NEEDED.
Meeting to Form Plans for Aid of
 Needy Soldiers Wives


 Needy Soldiers Wives.
 Miss Elsie M. Osborn, agent of the New Britain Charity Organization, to- day began plans of a worthy nature which will be more fully formulated this evening at Chamber of Commerce rooms, when representatives of in terested organization will gather at o'clock to discuss the possibilities of cases of want among families of some of the soldiers who were called away last Saturday. In a talk with re- porter this afternoon Miss osborn said that at present there was no ap- parent cause for alarm. but condl- tions that may arise and the readiness to confront them, was the main cause of this evenings meeting.
 A lengthy discussion on the matter was held with Secretary Andrews and it is probable that that body will lend it's entire strength in the developm ent of the tentative plans of Miss Os- born. Past experience in charity work makes the leadership of such a move by Miss Osborn an ideal one.
