TEN HUGE SHIPS TO
BE BUILT AT TAMPA
Special to The Journal

Washington, Nov. 17.-Ten steel
ships of $500 tons each are to be
built at Tampa at once for the emer-
gency fleet corporation.
Some time ago a contract was let
to the Oscar Daniels Company of
New York to build the ships and it
provided they should be constructed
at Brunswick, Georgia.
Senator Fletcher of Florida, went
diligently to work at once in an eff
fort to obtain the approval of the
government to their construction at
Tampa instead of Brunswick. Fletch-
er worked very quietly in order not
to bring ont any opposition to his
plans.
Today the emergency feet corpor-
alton approved Senator FIetcher's
plan and the ships will be built at
Tampa when the Daniel Company
has made arrangements for the work
to be carried on.
Senator Fletcher argued that the
ships could me constructed at Tam
pa more speedily than at Brunswick
because of better facilities there.

the entertainment the entertainment

That West Fliorda is in line to be-

the opinion forcibly expressed yester-

Mr.. Hiatt was a brief visitor to the

cussing the future of this section
from the agricultural point of view,
he voiced the belief that the region is
destined a new birth, on a basis Of
hog and cattle production, based on
the results known to have been at

DEPUTY SHERIFF IS
KILLED in BAY co.
Special to The Journal

Panama City, Fla, Nov. lin
formation was received here today
of the killing of Deputy Sheriff Sheriff
Charles Scott, of Bay County at one
o'clock today, and J. j. Colman, a
turpentine operator has been arrest
ed for the crime. The cause of the
murder is unknown, and investiga-
tfon so far has revealed none of the
details.
The killing occurred at Belts, a
small town 10 miles northeast Of here
on the Atlanta and st. Andrews Bay
railroad, and according to reports
reaching here the men were alone
when the killing occurred. So far as
could be learned Colman has issued
no state/ ent on the affair, and no
coroners jury has been empanelled
to investigate the death of Scott.
Both parties are well known in
this part of the country, and Scott
was formerly sheriff of Washington
county. Belts is headquarters for
large turpentine camp, and the ex-
tensive operations with which Colman
was connected made him well known.
