The Lakeland evening telegram., 1917-06-26

Everybody is entitled to credit for
the splendid showing Lakeland
makes in her response to the Red
Cross appeal. OF course, tremen-
dous amount of work fell on Secre-
tary Holworthy and Rev. w. B. Cur
tbs, and they are deserving of all
praise for their untiring efforts. Then
the ladies who worked and worried
over the undertaking are to be COM
mended unstintedly for the generous
and kindly spirit which prompted
their efforts. The business men who
gave their time and energy to the
cause did well, but none of them feel
that they did any more than their
duty. Above all, the community of
Lakeland as a whole is to be con-
graduated on the generous response
that was made to the call of this
great charity. coming at a time when
giving involves a considerable sacri-
fee for most of our people. Lake
land has done well and a due degree
of pride in the accomplishment is
pardonable.

Governor Cats has fired the Sheriff
of Citrus county. as he needed the
Job for his old side-kick, B. o. Bow

or. having done great service to his
State by betting barrel of beer
against a barrel of mullet that Cats
would be elected. 1t is not known
what part of the winnings-the beer
,or the mullet-was divided up with
Sidney j.. but at any rate the patriot
ic and highly lawful act constituted a
ticket to the public trough, and Bow
den is now entrusted with the en-.
forcement of the laws in Citrus coun-
ty. 1t would be interesting to get an
expression as to exactly how Citrus

Her performance was splendid one, and she is going to be heard from later in the sprint events up the country.
 The crowd yesterday was large surprisingly large for a Monday after. noon crowd, but it proves up the pop ularity of the sport in this city The attendance could well be compared with some of the big days of the earlier part of the meeting.
 In the opening event Dash was tho best of the lot, particularly with lit. tie Murphy in the saddle. Murphy sent this one away jumping, and she was never headed. Violet, the favor ite. came up in time to be second, and Lady Mildred finished well and was third
 In the second event Wat, the P M. Civil horse. furnished the upset for the talent, and was much the best of the field. Jockey Barrett had the leg and had so much the best horse under him that it was little trouble to be first at the wire. Milbrey, an Apple gate candidate, received another of Frankie Murphy's good rides, and was second Zamora was third.
 In the next event Moller, a horse that had been working fast over the Oaklawn course, was best of the lot Black Beauty and York Lad furnished the contention. Miss Declare, the A. l.. Kirby horse, apparently has not come into her own, and finished in the ruck Aunt Sal. owned by T. S. Garen Ot InlS CllS, ana ndnulcu b9 Nl"Hlp did not get into action early and had no chance in the big field
 Marie Miller was much the spcedi- est of the group in the feature, but Cane Run came fast in the stretch. and for moment seemed to be able to overtake the flying lilly. He was second, and David Craig third. The weight evidently stopped Prince of Como, and Mars Cassidy was out footed
 Tactless was nicely handled by Jockey Crump in the fifth and won handily. Rose Juliette, a very fast horse for the distance, was second and King K, finished third.
 Mud Sill was much the best of the field in the closing event and justified the faith of the talent Bogart had a lot of speed and finished a good sec ond. Industry had racing luck and was third,

.ROD|EK RETIRES AS
GERMAN CONSUL;
4. SCHULIzE NAMED

Retirement of Georg Rodiek as con-
sui for the imperial German govern
ment and representative OF the gov
eminent of Switzerland, was the an
nouncement made today. Since the
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween this government and Germany
IT has been apparent that the position
of Rodiek as representing Germany
while he Is an American was a pecu-
liar one and II has excited much COM
ment His retirement and the turning
of his office over to II. Schultze re.
lieves this situation.
When diplomatic relations were
severed 1t was announced that the az
fairs Of Germany in this country
would be cared for by Switzerland's
representative. 1t therefore became
necessary If Rodiek was to relinquish
his duties here that anotherNSw rep
resentative should be made.
Georg Rodiek, for number of years
German consul here, yesterday receiy.
ed instructions from the German gov
eminent to close the German consul
ate here and turn It over to the Aus
trO-Hungarian consul, II. SchultZe.
With 1t also goes the appointment of
representative of the Swiss govern
ment. Rodiek will continue, however,
to act as the Swedish consul.
The instructions came as a result Of
the severance Of diplomatic relations
between United States and Germany
and because Rodiek is an American
citizen
This morning Rodiek sent letter to
all the local consuls except those of
the allied nations who are at war with
Germany and to all territorial and fed
eral officials announcing the change.
When Rodiek informed reporter OF
the Star-Bulletin this morning of the
change OF status in the offices which
he has occupied he refrained from
making any comment on the matter.
