ing $4,000 Cash and
Much Paper.

Expert cracksmen Tuesday opened
and rif1ed the vault Of the First Ma
tional Bank of Daytona, securing $751;

A Costume Concert.

Monday night. March 18th. the
members of st. James Methodist
church will present an old time Co.'S
tune program of familiar songs.
Some of Palatka's very best musical
talent is in this church and this fact
bespeaks a program of more than
usual interest. The concert will be
given in the Howell theater and the
prices will be so cents for main
body and these seats can be reserved
end 35 cents for all other parts of
the theatre.
1t is hoped that all the smaller
towns will send delegations as the
members of the congregation feel that
so meritorious an entertainment
should pack the house, and they ex-
tend cordial invitation to the pub
lie.

CHINA BREAKS WITH GERMANY
Senate and House Declare Severance
With Approval Of Government.

PEKING, Sunday. March 1.-THE Sem
ate today approved the severance of re-
lations with Germany by a vote of 1872
to 81. 1t IS expected that the govern
ment will take action to this end to-
morrow (Monday).
After the house had approved the
severance of relations Saturday the
German minister presented a note to
the foreign office offering to negotiate
for the protection of Chinese lives and
property in the submarine zone. In Off
cial circles 1t is believed the legation
hoped through the note to postpone the
severance of diplomatic relations. 1t
had no influence on the cabinet and the
senate.
DEVELOPMENTS looking to severance
of relations with Germany by China
have been reported to the State De-
partment by Minister Reinsch. at Pc
king, with the prediction that fnai
rupture may be expected at any time.
There Is no intimation from any
source that China is prepared as yet to
actually join in the war against Ger
many, although diplomatic circles here
confirm Peking dispatches saying the
entente. led by Japan. is urging the
Picking government to declare war and
exchange her large supplies of iron
and other war materials for permission
to increase her customs dues and post
ponement of her Boxer indemnities.

hibit the filing Of the vacancy before
the reorganization OF the national
House Of Representatives at the special
session April Is.
Examination of the statutes by poll
ticians here made Immediately upon
the death of Mr.. Sulloway seemed to
disclose the fact that the governor
could call a special election within
fourteen days. Section 2 of the primary
law expressly excepted from the pro-
visions of that act the filling OF
vacancies caused by death. and rele-
gated the subject to the general stat

felt sure the normal republican plural
