A MISCARRIAGE
Of JUSTICE
Pardon for I'll. G.. Stone, Who was
Sent Up from Polk County for
Revolving Crime

Winter Haven, Sept. 11-When the
story in the Tampa Tribune appeared,
that the pardon board had pardoned
H. G. Stone, formerly of this city, it
aroused the most intense Indignation
among all classes of citizens, who are
thoroughly familiar with the details
of the crime for which Stone was con-
victed.
Many and deep were the express
sions of disgust over the action of the
pardoning board, and even the sever
est criticisms failed to express the
feelings of all classes at the utter dis
regard of decency and morality, the
travesty of the court proceeding and
the casting aside of the most damn
ing and conclusive evidence and the
just verdict of the jury, in giving
freedom to one who had been convict
eG of the most heinous of all crimes.
The effect of the granting of the
pardon has been to ALLEVIATE practical
" all of the friends Governor Cats
had in this section, and he had con-
siderable strength here and in this
vicinity, having carried this precinct
by comfortable majority, and most
of those were emphatic in their con-
demnation of the pardoning board am
the governor, feeling that they had
been betrayed in the granting of this
pardon by one whom they had sup
ported in the belief that he would in.
augurate a decent and moral govern.

man who would condone such crime:

There are many facts connected

TRIED TO CREATE
A REIGN OF TERROR
Outbreak of Negro Troops at Houston
was Planned Several Days
Ahead
ASSOCIATED Press)

Houston, Texas, Sept. 12.-The ne
gro soldiers of the oath infantry
planned riot of bloodshed among the
white residents of Houston two days
before the deadly outbreak which cost
the dives of fifteen citizens, according
tc the report of the civilian board of
inquiry into the Houston riot.
The report criticises the superin-
tendent of police of Houston on ac-
count of his inability to maintain dis
cipline among policemen, saying the
riot was undoubtedly precipitated by
two arrests made by the police, thus
Fastening and intensifying the SER
ious disturbance more than was pre-
viously intended.
The report adds: "Undisputed and
convincing testimony of witnesses
prove that the negro soldiers went
out to slay white people indiscrimi-
nately, as there were no negroes hurt
by the soldiers, the negroes having
been warned to stay off the streets
during the riot.
When the negro troops first came
to Houston they manifested feeling
of hostile defiance of the state law
requiring separation of the two races
in street cars, and negro soldiers on
guard duty at Camp Logan were in
sulting toward white laborers, ours
ing and abusing them on the slightest
pretense. Discipline at the camp was
grossly lax, permitting lewd negro
women to visit the camp and remain
there all night, some of these womer
being permitted to bring parcels con.
tanning whisky into the camp, thus
keeping the soldiers literally sup
piled with intoxicants."

ter Haven, who was a staunch sup
porter and friend of the governor, in
which he stated most positively that
under no circumstances would he take

The party who received this letter
does not desire his name withheld
and will at the proper time advise
the public over his own signature il

zen had conversation with the gov

LUMBER INDUSTRY
CONDITIONS REVEALED
BY FOREST SERVICE

its publication of the Federal Trade
Commission, which cooperated with
he Forest Service in the Investi-
cation. The Commission, however.
reserves its specific conclusions or
remedies for report of its own to
be published later.
The Forest Service finds that the
main problem of the lumber industry
has grown out of the hundreds OF
billions of feet of timber acquired
cheaply few years ago from the
public domain. Lumbermen in the
West are carrying vast quantities Of
cumberland beyond all possible needs
of their present sawmllls and log
Ing camps. widespread speculation
during a few years of sudden dew
high, and many western stumpage
holdings have been overcapitalized.
The business OF making lumber,
says the report, has thus been load
ed down with investments in tim
berland. The productive branch of
the industry has been interlocked
too largely with speculations in its
raw materials; and istead OF stand
ing on its own feet as a manufact-
uring business, has tended to be the
tail of the dog, made frequently to
serve the exigencies OF timber spec
ulation. According to the report,
pressure from an overload OF timber
is the first cause of the general in
stability of the industry. For one
thing, Il has led to building mills
beyond the demand for their pro
ducts. At least third of the saw
are now idle.
On the other hand, the Fores
Service reports that social ant

States are reducing It's proportional
