LAKELAND NEGROES
ARRESTED WITH
CAR FULL
Of LIQUOR

Four Lakeland negroes are ''in
bad at Plant City for setting up in
opposition to the liquor houses of
Tampa. their wet goods being con-
fiscated at Plant City, according to
the following from yesterdays Plant
City Courier:
Justice of the Peace Paul d.
Barns office had the appearance of
an improvised barroom this morning.
due to testimony, with illustrations.
of violations of the quart-a-month
law.
Tire trouble caused the exposition.
Four Lakeland negroes had been to
Tampa and were enroute home, but
flowouts put the car in the down
and-out class, and they stopped at a
local garage to get the damage re-
paired. A citizen noted that the car
was loaded with plain" packages
and bottles, and putting two and
| two together, he reached the rOnclu-
sion that there was too much liquor
aboard. Constable j. w. Kirkland
was apprised of the discovery. and
he carried the investigation further
discovering one of the most complete
assortments of liquors, wines and
beer that was ever hauled out Of
! Tampa There was entirely too much
fer the number of passengers, and
! much of the liquor was in gallon rc-
ceptacles, which is plain violation
Of the law. A gallon of booze does
not compare at all with quart-a-
month, and the result was four dark
eys were placed in Jail and the
liquors put aside as evidence The
negroes gave their names as Gus
Washington, Ed Williams. Charlie
Bracell and Oscar Franch
This morning, when carried be
fore Justice Barns, the negroes could
not, or did not, account for all of
the whiskey, although it was ac-
knowledged that the packages were
in the car. Franch said he owned
the machine. and Williams was EN-.
rloyed as driver All agreed that
Williams did not own any of the we,
goods. and he was discharged. Bar
cell was held to criminal court il
bond of $3.50 and Washington ant
Franch were held to this tribunal il
bonds of $3.50 each.
The officers learned that the quar-
tet had delivered packages at th
| house of Lula Simmons, colored, Op

The living curses OF the murdered

While little children moan and wom-

LINER SHAKEN BY A SEISMIC
 DISTURBANCE
Quake Has a Great Time on Sea Crew Seized With
 Sudden Panic.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. IS. - A submarine earthquake which lasted iorty-eight seconds and was so vio- lent that it snapped blade off the ships propeller was reported by Capt. Van Wyck Jurraiise, of the Dutch liner Tjikembang, on his arrival here from Batavia.
 The steamer was out one day from Nagasaki. steaming at fourteen knots through smooth sea when a shock was felt as if the liner had struck submerged rock. Then the shaking started. The ship was shaken, said the skipper, like a rat in the teeth of a terrier-shakcn un- til all on board feared she would fly to pieces.
 Panic seized the Oriental crew and the steeragc passengers and the cabin passengers made frantic ef- forts 10 launch a lifeboat. Calm was restored when the vibrations ceased. but the Tjikembang had to limp all the way to Hongkong, where she was dry docked and another propeller shipped.

EXPULSION OF TURKS IS N0H
 DRASTIC MOVE
Allies Now Approve of League of Nations for InSuring
 Peace.
TURKEY SLATED TO GO

LONDON. Jan. IS. - The Weekly Nation, discussing the Entente reply to President Wilson remarks this is the first time that all the entente allies have formally committed them selves to the approval of a league of nations for insuring peace. IL considers the expulsion of the Turks, from Europe a drastic penalty, but "the people of the United States, who have taken a special and hon orable interest in the wrongs of Ar menia, will hardly think i: excessive"
 Referring to the address of Am bassador Gerard in Berlin the Ma ton thinks the incident has been much exaggerated, but that it is nevertheless disQuieting, because 1t suggests that in the ambassadors mind there is a chance that the pres ent relatively moderate government of Germany may fall and this figures as a possibility"

MexiCanS Hold Out For Payment Before They Will Turn Over

SAYS 0. K.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 1S.- The War Department has authorized Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston, com manding the southern department, to pay $50 demanded by MeXicans for the delivery of the body of Corporal John Fl. Stewart, C. Company, ninth United States infantry. The body of the soldier was found on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande with the throat cut.
 According to official reports to Che southern department headquarters, the Carranza troops who held the body refused to deliver it to the American authorities until a payment of $1OO had been male. When this amount was refused, they lowered the price to $75 and then to $50. Word was sent to Washington re- garding the matter and today the war department gave orders for the payment of S5$O.

GERARD,S STATEMENTS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - The speech which Ambassador Gerard was called upon to explain was de- livered at banquet given in his honor at Berlin Saturday night, Jan- uary 6, by the American Association of Commerce at Berlin. In the course of the speech the Ambassador among other things is reputed to have said: "The relations between the United States and Germany are more cordial than they have been at any time since the outbreak of the war" Again: T bring an olive branch from President Wilson"
 These declarations were followed by laudatory remarks about Chan cellor von Bethmann- -Hollwegg and the other members of the German government, and the statement that he, the Ambassador, could conceive  of no trouble arising between the two countries as long as these friends of mine" are in control of German affairs.
 It was felt in Washington that the declarations of Gerard, if as re- ported, were susceptible of miscon- struction; that they might cause an erroneous impression of the pO- sition of the United States toward recent German submarine activities and that they might cause the AL lies to believe that President Wilson had been influenced by Germany in sending his recent peace not.
