OFFICERS OF FLORIDA EVER
GLADES LAND COMPANY
INDICTED BY FEDERAL
GRAND JURY

Harold j. Bryant, Of Lake Forest, Hi
nois; his business partner, William F.
Greenwood, and two other officers of the
Florida Everglades Land Company, were
indicted in Chicago, July IA, by the
federal grand jury. They we're accused
of conspiracy to devise a scheme to de-
fraud by use of the mails.
The case has been under investigation
by the federal government for two years.
The indictments allege that Bryant
and his colleagues induced many per-
sons to buy thousands of acres of land
in the Florida Everglades, through mis-
representations. Three of the counts
accused the men of wilfully misrepre-
senting the land to prospective purchas-
ers, by saying that it was some of the
most fertile and productive land in the
state, needed no fertilization, was below
the frost line, was Immediately available
for farming purposes, and that the state
of Florida backed the proposition with
an appropriation of $1,2OO,OOO for the
purpose of drainage. All these state
ments are untrue, the government
claims.
The company's land was divided into
1850 tracts, varying in area from 10 to
24O acres. Sale was made through
pretended auction, each purchaser be-
ing told that he must bid $24O for
tract, but would not know what size
tract he was to get until the lots had
been drawn after the first payment of
$1,000.

PRESIDENT TO INTERCEDE FOR
STARVING POLAND

1t is reported that President Wilson
will personally appeal to the emperor
of Germany, the car of Russia, the en-
peror Of Austria-Hungary, and the king
of England, to permit American relief
to reach famine-stricken Poland, which
has been devastated, time and again, by
the ravages of war. The Washington
administration has been working for
months in an effort to get supplies
through for the relief Of this region, but
without avail.
AS the matter now stands, Germany
has offered certain concessions and
Great Britain has offered others; but
the German concessions do not coincide
with the British requirements. In the
meantime, the millions of Poland are
starving.

A further appeal to the House of
Lords is possible only if the Attorney
General gives certificate that the de-
cision of the Court of Criminal Appeal
involves a point of law SO exceptionally
important that it is desirable, in the pub
lie interest, that still higher court

HEALTH HINTS
By N. J. LaRose,
Commissioner of Health

At present there are a few cases of
whooping cough in this City, and it seems
to be spreading Some people are not at
all careful about reporting cases to the
Health Department until other children
are exposed, and it is often left to neigh
bors or other individuals to report cases.
There is no use trying to deny the fact
that whooping cough is quite contagious
and severe among small children and
babies According to outside mortality
records, it is more fatal than either the
measles or scarlet fever.
In view of these facts, it seems almost
incredible that some people not only fail
to report cases, but actually take their
children to public gatherings, where
dozens Of others may be exposed.
Each and every child with suspicious
cough should be kept at home, especially
at this season Of the year, when common
colds are not prevalent.
In order that all who read these lines
may be clear as to the Ordinance on this
point, hereby quote the section relating
to it, and notice is hereby given that it
will be the endeavor Of the Health De
partment to enforce it to the letter, from
this time forth:
''SECTION II. That whenever any con-
tagious or infectious disease is discerned
in any family in Zion City, it shall be the
duty Of the members Of that family to
Immediately notify the Commissioner Of
Health Of the existance Of such disease at
said place; and it is further provided that
any person or persons who have any
knowledge Of the existence Of any conta-
gious or infectious disease in any locality
whatever within said City, should notify
the Commissioner Of Health at once, so
that proper attention may be given it.;
and whatsoever fails to perform this duty
in either case is liable to a fine Of not less
than five nor more than two hundred dol
lars for each offense."

''Not less significant than the actual
facts of the violation of the law which
were brought out were the plain evil
dences of the terrorism which men OF
the crooked business agent type have
created in wide circles of citizenship.
