day" reached the Office OF ifuel Ad.
Arthur T. Williams yes
terLay. 1T was the AK that William
Jennings Bryan, the distinguished
commoner, uses himself in cutting
wood for his home in Miami Mr..
Bryan writes that inasmuch as he
uses no coal at his Miami residence.
h, sends his ak to be used during
the public exercises at Hemming
park.
This ak is most appropriate for
the occasion as Fuel Administrator
Williams has been urging 1t as a
patriotic duty of Floridians to use
wood wherever possible The use Of
the AK as a patriotic act will be i'm
pressed by Arthur Y. Milan, who
presents the tag to the young lady
who will do the tagging. Mr.. Milan
lis forceful speaker and is the
youngest Shrine potentate In the
world. This ak after the exercises
will be Displayed in one of the most
public places for several days fol.
Loving "Tag- -Your-Shovel day." The
local committee yesterday selected
Miss Helen Hunt, society editor Of
the Times-Union, to tag the AK Of
William Jennings Bryan. Miss
Hunts selection was deemed .most
appropriate because of her activities
ir organizing the Honor Guards and
Of her devotion to and interest in
this patriotic organization OF Young
women.
When the committee hears from
Thomas A. Edison and Henry Wat
terson and receives their shovels
then arrangements will be made for
publicly tagging of the same during
the exercises
It has been decided that Mr.. Edi-
sons shovel is to be tagged by some
high school girl and that the pre-
sentation speech is to be made by
Fred B. Noble For Mr.. Wa.terson' s
shovel the tagger will be from
among the newspaper men now in
the service of Uncle Sam at Camp

tation to be made by Charles M.
Cooper.

ing taken care of in the tents which
have been erected on both the rifle
range and on Block "L," and the
space adjacent.
There are already 30 tents up and
with the additional 140 there will be
a tented city of some size at the reser-
vation now in addition to the wood
en- city of more than 500 buildings.
Work to Start Soon
The announcement that his recon-
mendation has gone to the war de-
partment means that it will be grant
ed, and it is only a matter of a short
time until the carpenters will again
commence operations. It will mean
much more work for many men and
an added wave, of prosperity in Jack
sonville will result.
When the barracks are completed
and everything is in readiness to re-
ceive the men, new influx will come
in from all over the country. Volun-
tary inductions are about the only
men arriving at camp now, except
certain skilled men. The men who
come in through this induction sys-
tenn are those who are on the list to
be drafted, but who ask to be allowed
to join the army and are granted this
privilege.
A. Bentley & Sons, the Toledo firm,
which constructed the camp, also will
have the contract for this additional
work, it is understoond. Surveying
has long ago been completed for this
addition, and has extended beyond
the present boundaries Of the camp
towards Ortega, it is understood.

KNITTING BAGS MAKE
TROUBLE FOR MERCHANTS

Miami Jan. 11-From various sec
tions of the United States comes the
complaint that shoplifters are making
use, of the knitting bags to ply their
nefarious traffic, and merchants OF
Miami have learned to their sorrow
that with the arrival Of the present
tourist season, and consequent COM
ing of crooks to prey on the crowd,
shoplifters have begun the practice
here of using these knitting bags for
the concealment of stolen goods.
In some cities of the north mer-
chants have been forced to insist
that all feminien shoppers check their
knitting bags at the entrance, but
in the south, where the merchants ap-
rear to fear arousing ire of their GUS
toners by such measures, the toll the
shoplifters have exacted by the IN
creasing use of the knitting bag has
been enormous, it is learned here In
Atlanta alone. a merchant said yes
terday, the loss last year was more
than one hundred thousand dollars
carried away in knitting bags.
The use of the knitting bag to con-
ceal stolen property has become SO
common to crooks of this character IN
some cities that many women OF re-
spectability no longer carry them 10
the stores when they are shopping lor
fear of being classed with the shop-
lifters, as conditions have reacneo a
po;nt where woman with a knitting
hag is regarded with suspicion in all
otoras and as already told, is not
nermitted to carry one into some OF
the stores.
In one. of the southern eities' W.
man resident of that city said yester-
day. we'll known society women nave
beep caught red-handed with stolen
articles in their knitting bags pu'
were not taken to police court De
eause the merchants did not wish to
bumiliate their husbands.
ut is a serious situation a MI
ami merchant said yesterday we
do not want to offend our customers
bv demanding that they check tnen
knitting bags at the door and we can
NOT demand an inspection of them Il
thew are not checked, as many WON
an would consider such an act an out
rage. yet we have got to do some
thing or close up our stores to pre-
vent everything in them from being
carried away"

CAMP JOHNSTON
TO BE ENLARGED

Jacksonville, Jan. 11.-Official rec
omendation that Camp Johnston be
enlarged to the extent of having
eighty eight additional barracks built
to house the men who are pouring In
from all parts of the United States,
together with an order for 140 more
tents, has gone to the war department
from Lieut. Col Fred l.. Munson, the
&C Cmmanding officer. who yesterday
morning early sent this information
to Washington after conference
with Major F. |. Wheeler, construct
ing quartermaster.
More Barracks Needed.
1t became known yesterday that the
war department had asked what addi-
tional facilities and buildings were
needed for the men, and if certain
other men could be sent here, and
that a recommendation had been ask
ed for from the commanding officer.
After the conference with Major
Wheeler, Col. Munson sent off the
recommendation for the additional
buildings to be used as barracks for
the men.
Another entire block, consisting Of
forty four barracks, to be known as
Block M, will be built and in addi-
ton - this, two more buildings will
be added to the blocks already built,
in the open spaces where there is
enough room to accommodate them,
and sometimes four more buildings.
The unfinished blocks near the gate
will be filled out also.
It is thought that when the final
plans are complete, that with the ad-
ditional X. of C. buildings, and Y M. G.
A. buildings together with mess halls
and the like, there will be fully zoo
more buildings built, although this
estimate is not official. That there
will be Lightweight more barracks
and other buildings erected is official
lv stated in the recommendation.

proved in Washington no work OF con

of Irregularities in the office of audi
tor of accounts while Horace Graham
was the incumbent The talk about it
being held in the home town of one of
the candidates for governor, Judge
Darling, while it should have been
held on '4neutral territory is all be-
side the point. 1t is the substance of
the meeting that counts, not its geog-

at the meeting and if his supporters
were there, they made absolutely no
attempt to make any political capital
out OF the meeting. The same NAV be

his candidacy for governor, who was

then TO Pueblo, Col, and would be Gun

cans hate the "gringo" and believe
that their country can whip the United
States any day. 1t was a saying down
there years ago that, if it were not
for the intervening Texan Rangers,
they would long since have been over
running this country
The reason that this supposititious
army would be welcomed and recruited
is that so many Mexicans are now
nominally Americans This correspond
emf says that New Mexico is under the
secret rule of an organization, called
the Penitentes, whose main purpose Is
to keep the state Loyalty Mexican. The
members look forward to the time when
she will resume her place as state of
Mexico. These people are also given
ever to superstitions and practice weird
rites. He makes this astonishing state

The state has remained Mexican in
every sense of the word. One NAV

town after town and be unable to
converse in any language save Span
ish. There are whole districts with

where the school boards and school
teachers are unable to read. write or
speak English. All school teachers
are compelled by the state to be ex
amined in Spanish. The legislature
is conducted in Spanish. The courts.
state and federal, are conducted in
Spanish. The federal and state courts
obey the mandates of the Penitentes
and no Penintente is ever convicted in
court, no matter what the evidence.
The juries are composed mostly of
Spanish-speaking Penitentes, and, if
any juror votes for a verdict contrary
to the instructions of this organization.
he moves quickly-or forever after
ceases to move.
On the statute books of New Next
co is law passed expressly to keep
Americans from voicing any protest
against the Penitente control. This
law makes 1t crime to speak or write
anything, true or untrue, that tends
TO bring shame or ridicule upon the
Penitente organization.
Details are given of gross disregard
of justice and outright murder and the
clearance of recognized murderers. But
the astonishing thing is the revelation
that we have a state, which is a Next
can and not an American state. The
article is written and signed by Henry
Wray of Kansas City, Mo. If Mr..
Wray statements are not contradicted
