Capt. SteitZ To Be
Court Martialed,
Is The RumOr

Advices from Tallahassee are to
the effect that Capt. William Steitz,
OF Company ID, is to be court-mar-
tailed, the charges are that Capt
Sleitz made violent and uncalled
for attacks on superior officers and
the Governor" in remarks he IS al
lodged to have made at Black Point
on March II.
When Capt Steitz was questioned
about the matter he stated that he
had received no notice in the prem
Uses, and that he did not know any
thing of the charges lie only knew
positively that he had not used any
such language as that sscribed to
him. and he is also confident that a
fair trial by court martial will vim
dictate him
Those who know the very conserv-
ative character of Capt. Steitz AMI
his habits of speech are amazed that
such charge should be brought
AGAINST him, and feel sure there Is
some mistake, or that he has been
Incorrectly quoted. and feel that he

ROAD TO BARLOW

course of events it would be three
or four months before they would
reach it. 1t was thought that the
pubic ought not be deprived of the
use of this important road for so long
time. and il was arranged to have
the work of putting the clay founda-

contractors reach it with the asphalt
Naturally, traffic over the road dur
ing the intervening several months
will set it somewhat out of shape
AGAIN, and it will be necessary to dc
some additional work just before the
asphalt is poured. but it was cor
sidered that the additional expense
is justified by the great convenience

this a good road at once.
II will only be very short tim7
until the trip to Barlow. or to Win

rather a nightmare, may be made in

Co. COMMISSIONERS
AND ADVISORY BOARD
TO INSPECT LAKE
COUNTY'S ROADS

The Board of County Commission
ers met in special session Saturday.
having been called together at the
instance of the Advisory Board t.
discuss certain phases of the road
construction work. The principal
point was the relative value of Bar
tow clay and other loca! clays as a
base for the asphalt surface. the
plitsburg Chemical Testing CO. en-
gineers being of the opinion that the
Barlow clay is so far superior that
il should be used regardless Of in
creased expense. On the other hand
Mr.. II. S. Jaudon. chief engineer in
charge. declares himself as satisfied
that the base as it is being cen
strueted. will prove amply substan-
tial and will make cood and dur
able road In support of his con-
teItion. il is cited that in construct
ing the experimental stretches Of
road built by the county two years
ago the asphalt on two of them was
laid right in the sand. On the three
otEer stretches the asphalt was laid
on the base that CHANGED To be at
the point OF construction. Notwith-
standing this. and tn further fact
that the methods of construction en-
pioyed were very crude, there has
been no appreciate deterioration Of
these roads. indicating that with the
superior methods now being used the
roads being built ought to last an
indefinite time.
To make any provision for Barlow
clay base on the roads not yet built
would cost at least 100000 add
tional, as the freight alone would
average S12 per car 1t was 20 save
this great expense that the contract
was let permitting the use or otnct
good clay where the Barlow clay
was not available.
The matter was discussed eNhaus
lively, but no definite conclusion was
reached. 1t was finally decided that
committee Of the County Commits
s:oners. the Advisory Board and the
engineers should go up to Lake coun
ty and examine the roads that were
bui!t there some two years ago or
more, and see how they are holding
up on clay base similar to that be
ing used in building the roads in
this county. Eight or ten gentle
men, in two cars, will leave for Lake
county tomorrow on this trip Of in
vestlgation

100 o'clock this afternoon, aftsr
Cashier George L. 6rannin0 had com
municated with the national bank ox-
aminer in Jacksonville. The primary
cause Of the suspension was attrt6Uer
ed to the gradual withdrawal ot d.
posits since the recent robbery, which
greatly exceeded the expectations ot
the bank officials. The decision 10
suspend business was acted upon Wsith
a view to conserving the best interests
of the depositors. II is understood that

which will prevent any loss to depoo-
itors.

ION account of the circulation and
publication of rumors and harmful
reports concerning the First National
bank. which have caused heavy with
drawais, it has not been found pos
sibe to continue its uninterrupted op-
Grafton; therefore, in order to best
conserve the interests Of its depooee'
ors, which is its chief concern, the
board of directors has placed its affairs
in the hands Of the national bank
examiner.
Arrangements are we'll under way
for the organization Of new bank,
which it is expected will take over the
assets of the First National bank As0
pay off its depositors in full-a heW.
dred cents on the dollar. But the -.
cess of doing this could not opoe0nQ
rapidly enough to avoid the temporary
closing Of the First National.
"Strong financial interest has been
interested in working out the situation
for the interest Of all concerned, e.
peciaIiy the depositors, and It 10
thought this line of action will con
serve their interests to the Qreaeooe
possible degree; and that the depoo.
iors will be paid in full inside Of -
days-the earliest date the new bank
can begin operations.
