The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1918-05-31

For some unaccountable reason Mrs.
John S. Davis has failed to get her
papers, and she writes us as follows
Il am anxious to get The Leader, as
it is like a nice coy talk with our
Tarpon friends to read The Leader;
SO do not want to miss one number
We are investigating, and trust the
paper will reach her promptly here
after.
Mrs. Carl Jordan and little daugh-
ter Aeldgytha are scheduled to leave
tomorrow via Tampa, where Mr.. Jor-
dan will meet them, for their home at
Fort Myers, after a pleasant visit of
a month to Mrs. Jordan's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. T. Roberts, and sister,
Mrs. Ed Curry. Mr.. Jordan is en-
ployed in Fort Myers as manager of
the Lee County Telephone company.
Mr.. James Cowsert was host last
evening to a number of his friends,
taking them to Clearwater Beach,
treating them to a splendid swim and
refreshments of ice cream and cake
afterwards. In the party were Mr..
and Mrs. ]. B.. Cowsert, Mrs. A. C. Nc
Michael and daughter Elizabeth, Miss
es Irma and Claire Dannenmann, Miss
Frances Clark, Misses Dorothy and
Frances Fulton, Messrs. Hugh Decker,
William Clark and James Cowsert.
Mr.. Forrest L. Wise, who has been
in charge of the telegraph Office at
Largo for some time, has enlisted in
the navy department of the war serv-
ice. He passed successfully the physi-
cal examination at Tampa Tuesday, as
well as the examination of first-class
electrician in the radio department Of
the naval reserve, and has been as
signed to duty at Key West for time
at least. He will leave Sunday for
Key West. Mr.. Wise is brother~in-
law of Mr. Harvey Martin, his wife
being Mrs. Martins sister and a
daughter of the late B. G. Coachman.
Clearwater Sun.
As Mrs. Mary A Bigelow, is leaving
soon for the north, this will probably
be her last day at the Red Cross work
rooms. She has worked faithfully for
the chapter during the winter, giving
two mornings a week, and will be
greatly missed in the department
where she has worked. She and Mrs.
%. Cadwallader, with the occasional
assistance of other ladies, have made
during this month alone eighteen con-
valescing robes, and these articles are
large and of very warm material,
making them disagreeable to work on.
1t is hoped that other ladies will be
willing to assist in this department
after Mrs. Bigelow leaves, so that
Mrs. Cadwallader's department may
not lack for workers.

Prohibition Has Made the
Whisky Men Millionaires
Supply Viii Last Only One Year--Ten Million Gal
Ions Taken From Bond in March

Louisville, KY, May 31.-War and
Kentucky whiskey have produced a
number of millionaires. The story of
its accomplishment forms an interest
ing chapter in present day history.
Eight months ago distillers were
gloomy over the prospect of ruin as
the result of enforced closing of their
plants for period of two years and
the aggressive advance of the prohi-
bition movement. Today, through
whiskey price advancement, according
to statements made in the Louisville
wholesale liquor district, practically
all have become well to do, or have
been thrust into the millionaire class.

CHINESE AND INDIANS
HAVE EXCELLENT HEARING

London, May 3O.-oficers home
from the front testify to the acute
hearing powers displayed by the In
dian and Chinese coolie laborers with
the troops in France. These Eastern
auxiliaries are ever the first to detect
the nearness of a hostile airplane and
to fall prone as measure of self-pro-
lection. In this way they give val
liable lead to the British and French
soldiers, who are comparatively slow
in detecting the difference in sound be
tween the rival air machines.

No Let Up In Drilling.

CAMP DODGE, Feb. 2S.-There
was no let-up in the drilling of the
men who have been here for months
today and the newest arrivals were
getting their first military instruc-
tion-mostly lectures in their bar
racks and outside. Thus the two
weeks quarantining has little or no
effect in the primary stages of the
instruction.
After the latest arrivals of Mime
sotans and Iowans are taken out of
the quara ntine stage, they'll be as
signed to older organizations. The
"old-timers" will go back to the first
weeks schooling again and the new
corners thus will have less trouble in
mastering the first steps Of the sol
dier's profession.
Practically all of the remain
overs" are non-coms and will act as
instructors when the real training
begins among the rockies" The
regular sixteen week training period
will be observed, it was announced
by the divisional commanders recent
ly. At the present rate Of instruc-
ton, this will bring the Hunhuskers
into the trenches at Camp Dodge
about April /.

in all Y. NJ. C. A. and X. Of c. huts,
hospitals, Y. w. G. A. hostess houses,
and to chaplains in smaller forts,
posts and on naval vessels.
Several hundred thousand books
have already been given and more
than 100, 900 books have been pur.
chased.
There are many expensive technical
books needed which will not be sup
piled by gift. In order that the fund
may be used for these purchases, and
for administering and extending the
service, the public is now asked to
make large gifts, of popular books.
They may be left at the public library,
or if the books can not be taken to
the library, they will be called for If
the librarian is notified.

at Reasonable
Price,

limited Press Leased Wire Servlce.i
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The iuei
administration is completing plans
for "a national coal bin" from whlch
coal will be distributed without rear
or favor during the coming year. 10
this end, important steps Will soon
be announced.
These will include fixing OF a new
scale Of prices, designation OF pro
ducing zones to eliminate cross-haui-
ing, consumption allotments for
states and Limitation of fuel supplies
to non-essential industries.
To further coordinate fuel snip
ment with rail facilities, DR.. Garfield
has assigned H. A. Cochran as the
fuel representative on General NC
Adoo's staff. New prices will be an
nounced in time for making contracts
at the beginning Of the coal year
April 1. Prices will be scaled TO
meet difference in costs of production
in various fields. Jobbers' profits VIII
be entirely eliminated and retailers
will be required to pay only the
prices fixed at the mines.
To prevent extravagant use OF coai,
states will be placed on quota
basis and consumption In excess OF
this allotment in any state will be
possible only by special dispensation
of Fuel Administrator Garfield.

Until Dr.. Eleanor C. Jones of the
woman's hospital, devised this novel
couch recently, no one had ever heard
of asbestos beds" But the intuition
and energy of this woman, head of
the children's ward, have combined
to give the world what appears to
be a cure for pneumonia.
When Selma O'Neill one year old,
and Robert Hazlett, eighteen months
old, were brought into the Woman's
hospital SO seriously i'll with pneu-
monia that physicians gave them but
a. few hours to live, DR.. Jones made
up her mind that the children must
be saved.
Send the hospital engineer here,
and get plumber, too" she ordered.
"Get two iron cots, some lengths of
hot water pipes and two asbestos
sheets"
The sheets of asbestos were placed
under the bedsprings and turned UP
at each end Of the cots, so that they
covered the head and feet. The hot
water pipes, placed under the cots.
were connected with the hospitals

CHAPTER TX.

C1AF ZEN LIZ.
The result of the Wilson fight, and
Sulliyan's own condition after his
efforts and the pounding Wilson had
given his stomach at intervals should
have been a warning TO the new
American champion. He should have
realized then that man can't be an
athlete and a tippler at one and the
same time. Later events were to
bring home the truth OF this more
strongly than ever.
Richard Fox had gained a sort of
a victory over Sullivan through Will
sons proof of stamina, but 1t was
only half-hearted. and he immedi-
ately began to search for someone
who would be able. not only to with
stand the punching of Sullivan. but
would actually be capable of defeat
ing him. Wilson. he realized, was
not the man for such fight, for Sui
Ivan had beat and hammered him
numerically in their four.round meet
ing. 1t was practically certain that
Sullivan could have defeated his
English antagonist II he had been
given little more time
Strangely enough 1t was Billy Mad
den who enabled Fox to discover and
bring to the fore the man who later
was to play such an important part
in Sullivan's battles. Madden and

dence was being uncovered today by
federal officers showing that groups
of Greeks and Italians were respon-
sible for the issuance Of bogus pass
ports in New York to Albanians and
Greeks who were anxious to get to
Europe. Federal agents have arrest
ed six Italians, one of them clerk
in the Italian embassy On the charge
of selling fasified passports. They
are being held for further examina-
ton.
Federal officials asserted that they
had evidence showing that twenty
three persons had recently left New

| that side of the water. England was
| shy of first-class heavyweights at
that time, and Madden was there to
get only the very best.
Charley Mitchell's selection came
after he had been beaten by a man
larger than himself-Arthur Roberts,
but the stamina of the smaller man
and his ring generalship proved to
Madden that Mitchell was really the
better man of the two for the long
finish fight that he was then con-
sidering. Mitchell was brought to
Am erica.
The Englishman was given plenty
OF advance advertising, and when he
landed in this country he had already
acquired considerable of following.
He was given a trial match before 1t
was finally decided to send him
against Sullivan. Mike Cleary was
picked as the first opponent OF the
sturdy Englishman and the match
was held April 9, 1883, in New York.
Sullivan saw the fight and picked
Cleary to win, but the American was
defeated In three rounds by the clever
punching of the Englishman. He
failed to stand up and receive the
heavy punches of the American, but
ducked underneath and countered to
the stomach. Cleary was unmerct-
fully beaten.
Sullivan, however, saw no warn
ing in the bout. but kept on in the
same way as usual. He refused to
take Mitchell seriously, even after
the match was completed and the
date set for the appearance Of the
gladiators.
