Six New Ordinances Were Passed
by the City Council Last Night

At the regular meeting of the city
council last night the most important
feature was the passing of six new or
dinances on sanitation, which ordin-
ances were recommended by the state
board of health, and which will go in
to effect after they have been duly rat
flied and signed by the mayor and
published according to law. The or
dinances follow in order: An ordin-
ance, 1, requiring sewer connections in
the city of Tarpon Springs; 2, to pro-
vide for the protection of foods ex-
posed for sale in the city of Tarpon
Springs; 8, regulating ice cream par
Tors and soda fountains; a, an ordin-
ance providing for a permit of the
state board health for premises used
as stable; providing for the screen
ing of stables and other buildings;
providing for the removal of manure
therefrom; providing for the santa
ton of such buildings; prohibiting
the accumulation of manure; regulat-
ing the hauling of manure through
the streets and imposing penalty for
the violation of the ordinance; 5, pro-
hibiting the use of common drinking
cups and common towels in the public

the trouble. They were warned by
the robbers, who had guards outside,
to keep back and return to their homes
to avoid being shot, and for a time the
robbers had their own way until the
citizens could be gotten together with
guns to make an attack on the bank
and drive the desperadoes away. Mr..
Storms, armed with rifle, slipped in
to the alley behind the bank, believing
that he could gain a point of vantage.
He was shot in the chest with load

Word has been received from Evan
gelists Ray and Johnson that they
have just closed a great meeting in
Geneva, Ala. The whole town was
stirred. They opened meeting this
week in the oldest town in America,
st. Augustine, Fla, and will come
from there here to the most beautiful
town, in many respects, in the state.
Say! Are you planning to come to
the meeting? We have every reason
to believe that the greatest meeting
ever held in Tarpon or any other town
of our state is in store for us. The
evangelist will begin here April in
the big new tabernacle now in course
of construction on Tarpon and Ring
avenues. Cottage meetings have been
going on for more than two months
already, preparatory to the meeting.

Zephyrhills was terrorized early this
morning by gang of desperadoes
who attempted to rob the American
State bank of $4,000 in the vault and,
failing to do so, escaped in automo-
biles, after cutting the telephone and
telegraph wires to prevent the alarm
being given. The robbers and citizens
fought in the streets with shotguns
and pistols, A. B. Storms, a baker and
former farmer, having been shot and
killed during the shooting. Indigna-
ton runs high over the outrageous
actions of the gang of criminals and
officers are making every effort to ap-
prehend them, but have few if any
clues on which to work.
The first intimation of the attempted
robbery was when sounds of an explo-
sion in the bank building were heard
shortly after o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. Citizens in the vicinity of the

Gene Cecil did some fine solo work
on his violin; Mrs. Cecil charmed ev-

brought all sorts of melody from his
guitar, and Mr. Cradle made the well
kin ring with his cornet. Mrs. Cradle
made her violin sing to the joy of all,
and Mr.. c. G. Barnum had to sing all
of his songs twice. There were string
due S, trios and quartets. Miss Hol-
list did double duty at the piano and

ing she knitted-and when three of
the men were off duty they had quiet
little card game in the corner. The
audience consisted of Mrs. C. C. Bar
mum, Mrs. Krumm and Mr.. Lucas.
Supper was served, to which every
one helped himself in most informal
way-while Mr.. Lucas changed the
records on the Victrola-so, as we
said, there wasn't a moment when
music didn't fill the air.
Mr.. Cradle demonstrated that he
was "a real Red Cross worker as he
was seen knitting while the cards were

Good Things to
be Realized by
Setting Clock
DAYLIGHT SAVING BILL BE
CAME A LAW YESTERDAY
TAKES EFFECT MIDNIGHT,
SATURDAY, MARCH 20

When the president signed the bill
yesterday ordering you to turn your
clock forward one hour before you go
to sleep on Saturday night, March 30,
he took one hour from that day, but
on October 27 he will give you back
that hour.
The change in time will cause no
inconvenience to any one for every
one will observe it. Trains will be run
as usual, and every feature of daily
life into which the element of time en-
tiers will remain unchanged.
Before retiring on the last Satur-
day of this month, the American
householder will set his clock an hour
ahead, and then may go to sleep and
forget entirely about daylight saving
until the last Saturday of October. On
that date he will reverse the process,
turning back the hands of the clock
an hour, and the next day the nation
will again run on "sun" time.
In the summer the American actual
ly will rise, transact his daily business
and retire an hour earlier than has
been his custom, but with his clock an
hour fast, he will not know the differ
ence. An hour of daylight thus will
be conserved in the afternoon. The
plans practicability and efficiency
have been effectively demonstrated in
twelve European countries.
Advocates of the plan, in presenting
their case to congress, explained that
the following beneficial results would
be achieved by the system:
A great saving in illuminants, such
as oil, gas and electric power.
Marked conservation of coal.
Increased manufacturing production
as the result of improvement in work
ing conditions.
General benefits to the national
health because Of an additional hour

The Leader learns on pretty good
authority that the prospects are about
three to one that the United States
government will take over Southern
college with all its connecting build
ings for convalescent camp for
wounded soldiers.
The report of the government in
spectors who have lookea over the en-
tire west coast, is, according to our
informant, now before the national
government at Washington, and the
inspectors have eliminated every other
place and endorsed the Sutherland To-
cation on account of its meeting all
the requirements and having the
buildings all ready for occupancy.

several more explosions were heard,
nitro glycerine being used in opening
the outer door of the vault and de-
stroying the time lock. The robbers
were so well armed and had planned
their act so thoroughly that the citi-
zens were practically helpless, so that
it is somewhat of a mystery why the
robbers finally abandoned their work
before reaching the inner compart-
ment of the vault in which the money
was located.
The fact that blood stains were
found on the walls of the bank. is be-
.lieved to indicate that one of the rob-
bers was wounded in the fight.
In the excitement citizens forgot
until it was too late to telephone and
telegraph for aid, but got a message
through to Tampa early this morning.
Officers were also called from Dade
City and the woods in that vicinity are
being secured. There are few if any
clues, however, on which the officers
can work, SO that the apprehension
of the men is doubtful.
The way the vault was blown, it is
thought, indicated that some of the
men were skilled in the art of bur-
glary, but the fact that a large band
took hand in the attempt is believed
to indicate that it was more of an am
ateur attempt.

aged and all the windows broken by
the force of the explosion.
The people were apparently terror
lied and were unable to give any de-
finite information concerning the num-
Der of men in the gang, their method
Iof transportation or the direction of
their departure. The safe blowers
had sentries out, armed with shotguns,
and these sentries ordered people to
stay away. At one place near the
bank lay a pile of used shotgun shells,
apparently fired by one of the bandits.
Among the things brought here last
night were a crowbar, identified as
one stolen from the Seaboard tool
house, a pinch bar, machinist's ham
mer, hack saw, and several bottles
which had contained nitroglycerine.

Managing Editor Worthington of The

that they had been unable to get any
