Obituary Of Horace B. Webster

Horace B. Webster, IS years of age,
died at the Gordon Keller hospital,
Tampa, Fla, February %. The de-
ceased had been in poor health for
some time and went to the hospital
for the purpose of undergoing an OPP
GRAFTON. The surgeons pronounced the
operation a success and were greatly
encouraged, but on the sixth day a
change for the worse was noticed
which resulted in his death two days
later.
Mr.. Webster was born at Hartford,
Conn.,, Oct. 25, 1852, whence he moved
to the middle west with his fathers
family when but child, receiving his
education at gainesville, Ohio. After
his marriage to Miss Hardy, of New
York, he moved to Fargo, N. D., where
he had extensive interests in the grain
business which were entirely destroy
ed by fire the day of his wife's funeral.
Two children were born of this union,
Horace B. Webster, jr., and Grace
Cary Powell, both of whom reside in
Ridley Park, Philadelphia, Pa.

In July, 1888, Mr.. Webster came
to Tarpon Springs, where in Deem
Der of that year he married Miss Eft
talyn Gray, who survives him. Four
sons were born of this marriage, of
whom Percy Webster is the only one
living.
Mr.. Webster was for number of
years prominently associated with the
business life of Tarpon Springs, hav-
ing dealt in hardware and ship chan
dlery and later in general merchan-
disc. Fire destroyed this business
while he was absent from the city in
search of health. Later he was in
terested in the telephone system and
at the time of his death was engaged
in the sponge and real estate business.
In addition to these interests he was
mayor of Tarpon Springs for seven
teen terms. His death is a real loss
to the community, as he always had
the best interests Of the city at heart.
Nearly two years ago Mr.. Webster
was confirmed by Bishop Mann in All
Saints Memorial church, Of Tarpon
Springs,

dustry and tourist attractions of this
vicinity. Many of the tourists visit
ing the exhibit express ser intention
of visiting this city before returning
to the NORTH, while others have decid-
ed to visit here during their next trip
to Florida. There is no doubt of the
display being of great value to the
people ef Tafpon Springs and Pinellas
county. The first premium was re-
ceived on sponges for the Board of
Trade, and diploma on the general
exhibit. The awarding committee
deemed the attraction worthy of spe-
cial mention.
''The fair as whole can be said
to be a great success, Monday of this
week being featured by being Govern
or's day with Gov. Cats in uniform
at the head of two thousand soldiers
from Camp johnson leading the large
parade. During the afternoon of this
day the governor made a friendly call
at the Tarpon Springs display and

joyed at the recent flag-raising festi-

FALSE AND ALARMING REPORTS
BEING CIRCULATED \, MEXICO

Mexico City, March 1.-(Gorre-
spondence of The Associated Press. -
False and alarming reports being
printed by anti-American, pro-Ger-
man papers here are beginning to
prove something of boomerang, de-
spite the clever loopholes left for pa
pers to crawl through when subse-
quent events prove their accusations
groundless. So often have the Ger
man propagandists cried wolf" with
out the animal appearing, that even
those Mexicans most distrus-- ful of the
United States arc beginning to doubt
not only the accuracy of stories aimed
at fonenting trouble with Uncle Sam,
but the entire contents of their cable
pages.
Recently che paper announced I'M
der big headlines that American
troops were on the point of being
landed at Tampico. They were not
landed, however, and the paper was
forced to drop this lead, seemingly
having neglected to frame an explana-
ton in advance should its news prove
false. Later, however, this defect was
remedied. This time it was Canada

Mr.. A. P. Beckett returned this
morning from an eight months trip
to the Philippine islands, being sent
there by the United States govern
.ment to investigate the possibilities Of
the sponge industry. Mr.. Beckett
took numerous samples of Tarpon
Springs sponge to compare with the
island products and in talk with The
Leader man this morning he said the
Philippine sponge cannot compare
with the sponge we have here.
Mr.. Beckett left the islands January
81 and has since been in China stay
ing week in Hong Kong. From there
he went by boat to Yokohama and
Tokyo where he spent some time be-
. fore sailing for the Hawaiian islands.
From Hawaii he sailed for San
Francisco and by rail he rushed for
Tarpon Springs, where he arrived on
the early morning train. When he
alighted he did not do as Christopher
Columbus did on landing at San Sal

Mr.. F. ]. Zimmerman, who went
with Mr.. j. c.. Beekman to install the
Tarpon Springs exhibit at the state
fair in Jacksonville, returned this
morning, and Mr. Beekman will return
tomorrow.
Among the visitors atsthe fair from
Tarpon Springs was noticed Mr.. Ar
thur Kaminis and several tourists
whose names were not taken.
Mr.. George Moorish and wife, for
merly of Tarpon Springs, visited the
fair and called special attention OF
their Jacksonville friends to our ex-
hiblt.
Taken altogether, the exhibit was
we'll worth the cost and has attracted
a great deal of attention

vador in 1892, but he admitted that he
felt like it.
To talk with, Mr.. Beckett is joy.
He is filled up with information, anec-
dotes and real experiences enough to
supply Tarpon Springs for long
time. Being great favorite among
the ladies we fear he will now be I'M
able to find sufficient time to sleep, for
they will all want to entertain him and
hear his wonderful tales of how he
escaped from his harem in Jolo and
how the ebony beauties pursued him
to the coast, many of them swimming
after the ship. But what Mr.. Beckett
fears most is that some of them may
have escaped the sharks of the South
seas and may navigate their way up
the Anclote to Spring bayou. If this
improbable thing should happen
good bye Beckett
We asked Mr.. Beckett how many
inmates were in his harem, but he pos
itively refused to divulge; not wishing

him the sobriquet of the stormy pc
trel of the house"
Educated in Clongowes Wood col
lege, Kildare, and Trinity college,
Dublin, Redmond was called to the
London bar in 1886 and the Irish bar
the following year but he never prac-
ticed law He devoted himself almost
wholly to his parliamentary and po-
litical duties.
Redmond's eloquence and his grasp
of parliamentary procedure won his
early recognition IN parliament and
when IN 1891 the Irish party was dis
rupted, consequent on the Parnell
scandals, he became the accredited
leader of the Parnellites. In 1900 he
succeeded in bringing about an ANAL
gamation of the two leading national
list parties and made his position as
nationalist leader secure
Redmond was well known in the
United States, which he visited in 1908
and 1910. The Irish leaders, first Wis
it to this country proved a fiasco, but
his second, made for the purpose os-
tensibly of attending the convention
of the United States Irish leagues at
Buffalo, met with great success. Fol-
lowing his attendance at the conven-
ton, Redmond made a tour of all the
principal cities of the middle west and
the Atlantic coast, delivering a series
of addresses on the Irish question
which were later held responsible for
the British cabinet crisis of Novem-
Der, 1910.
The speeches brought the home rule
question to head. The British pres
entation and discussion in the house
of commons resulted in an impasse be-
cause of the Ulster opposition. This

st. Petersburg, March 6,-Standing
on an upturned bucket, an unknown
person in gray attempted to murder
Miss L. NJ. Douglas at 10:45 last night
by firing bullet through window
while the moman lay in bed at the
home of Homer B. Jones, 517 IL FIFTH
street south. The attempt failed, as
the bullet entered the left leg above
the knee and passed through diagon-
ally, emerging near the thigh, says
the st. Petersburg Times.
The shooting occurred while num-
Der of people were on the streets, but
only one man saw a person running
away after the shot was fired.
The Jones home sets back from the
street distance of about 100 feet and
is in shadow from the street light
which would permit a person to ap-
proach it without being recognized
The would-be murderer evidently
knew the lay of the ground.
The victim of the shooting is a
woman about 40 years old. She came
here with her mother and a sister

The question of system of house
marking was discussed at length. The
system as proposed by G. E. Noblit,
making the west and north corpora

was adopted by vote of four to one.
(; Mr.. Nobiit, chairman of the street

Irregularities about the naming of GER

thority to fill vacancies which might
occur in certain municipal offices was
passed on the third and final reading.
The question of garbage removal
was thoroughly discussed. No action

ground floor. Two windows face
Fifth street and it was beneath one
of these that the individual in gray
placed a galvanized bucket to stand
on when the bullet was fired through
the screen. The foot of the bed stands
toward the window only about two
feet away, and powder stains on the
screen showed that the revolver was
held within a few inches of the win
dow when fired. However, the shot,
which was beyond doubt meant to be
fatal, was aimed too low and the bull
let plowed through the fieshy part of
the leg above the left knee, passing
through. The bullet was found in the
woman's night gown.
Miss Douglass was questioned close
ly by the police last night, but she
said she had no idea as to who could

At the regular session of the city
council last night, every member be-

were acted upon.
A report was read from the secre-
tary of bond trustees for the $37 500
issue, stating that the bond money had
accumu ated $3.50 interest, which in
terest is on deposit. The council in
structed the finance committee to have
this $3.50 turned over to the general
fund, which is then to be applied on
waterworks extension.

purpose of extending the sewer at the

For more than twenty-five years
John E. Redmond fought for home
rule in Ireland and for a majo1ity of
that time he was the recognized lead
er of Ireland's struggle for liberty.
As chairman of the Irish parliamenta-
ny party-the nationalists he exert
ed powerful influence in bringing
about the creation of the Irish conyen-
ton organized in July 1917 to devise
a system of government for the island.
When David Lloyd George, the Brit
ish premier, in that year offered Two
methods of settling the vexed IRISH
question. it was Redmond who, as
spokesman for the nationalist, reject
ed the proposition for partition OF
Ireland and, instead, accepted Lloyd
Georges alternative plan for the con-
vocation of the Irish convention IN
which Irishmen of nearly all parties
and creeds might meet in the effort 10
compose their differences and draft a
constitution that would afford justice
to all.
Redmond was one of the delegates
to the convention which sat at various
times at Dublin, Belfast and Cork in
1917 and 1918.
Born in 1851, son of w. A. Redmond,
deceased, member of the British par
lament from Wexford, Ireland, John
E. Redmond had sat almost contin-
uously in the British house of COM
mons since 1881. There his parlia-

and Cuba 3hstigated by the United
States, who were to seize various Gulf
OF Mexico ports to prevent threaten
ed German submarine campaign in
the gulf against entente oil tankers
from Tampico.
The fact that the ports were not
seized was explained by the newspa-
pers as due to the fact that secrecy
was necessary to the plot, and that
these papers, having exposed the con-
spiracy, made its successful compile
ton impossible.
In addition to playing up in extras
these wild yarns, these papers print,
with distortions and misleading head
lines, every piece of news that can be
twisted into intimatirg that the Unit
d S .ates IS constantly scheming to
7ecure pretext to occupy either all
OF Mexico or the Tampico oil regions.
The dominant note of the journals is
anti-Amer;can, rather than openly
pre- German, although to peruse their
news columns would lead the reader
TO believe that the Entente allies ev-
cry day were on the point of giving up
the struggle.

one said burn it, others said dig hole

Someone suggested that each family
get billy goat-but it was objected
that the odor of the goat would be
worse than the decaying garbage.
Other matters of more importance
coming up, we dropped the UNIM-
