(. P. Hughes
Arrested For
Disloyal Language

E. P. Hughes, proprietor of the
Dixie Furniture Co., was arrested and
placed in Jail this afternoon on the
charge of making disloyal remarks
about the government and for critics.
ing the President
The first offense committed by Mr..
Hughes, it is said, occurred yesterday
when he was asked by Mr.. J. S.
Jewett to subscribe to the War Saw
Mngs fund 1t is said he declined to
.give anything because he said the
President was a coward for not sign
ling the bill for National Prohibition
| This afternoon another committee,
composed of Messrs. c. E. Todd e,
E. Google and W. F Sneed called
upon Mr.. Hughes and asked him to
contribute, and it is charged, that he
said that he had nothing to give as
! long as the government continued to
make whiskey out of wheat and not
allow him but six pounds month.
Mr.. Todd thereupon asked him If he
meant to say he would not give any
thing and he is said to have refused
point blank. Some words followed
and Mr.. Hughes endeavored to eject
Mr.. Todd from his store by force,
whereupon Mr.. Todd grabbed him
about the throat, and things were
pretty lively for a few minutes, Mr. !.
Hughes pulling away and calling the
police When Chief Ellis came in, the
situation was explained to him, and
he told Mr.. Hughes that it was NOT
the committee that should be arrested
but him, as 1t is against the law in
time of war to make disloyal remarks
about the government, and he there
supon escorted Mr. Hughes to Jail
The latter declared that Mr.. Todt
jshould be locked up. too. and, in fact
all the committee told the Chief tc
ltake them along If he thought they
had done wrong, but they were MOI
molested.

TESTIMONY IN
MAnDAhUS
PROCEEDINGS
IN PROGRESS

A large crowd assembled this morn
ing at the City Hall to hear the tes-
'timony before Judge John S. Edwards
in the mandamus proceedings insti-
tuted by S. C. Sloan, who claimed ir-
Irregularities in the County Commits
sioners' race in District No. 3 in the
primary on June 4.
Attorney l.. c. Johnson, for the de-
fense made a motion to quash the
writ of mandamus on the part OF the
Canvassing Board, the motion being
made on the ground that no present
duty is shown from the Canvassing
Board to S. G. Sloan.
There are five points to be argued,
only one of which was taken up at
the morning session of the court. 1t
was claimed by the plaintiff that the
Lake Hamilton vote should be thrown
cut, as it is charged that 81 Repub-
.licans voted in that precinct. Attor-
ney Johnson argued that these votes
should not be rejected for the reason
that if a Republican is not challenged
by officers in charge of the election
he is entitled to vote.
Argument was begun by Judge F,
A. Whitney for the plaintiff, shortly
before noon, and prospects indicate
that the hearing will be lengthy af-
fair, not completed before late into
! the night. When seen at noon today,
dining together in the most friendly
way, the attorneys for both sides
claimed they would be victorious, AMI
each declared if the other won, the
case would be appealed to the SUI
preme court.
Later: At 4 o'clock this afternoon
Judge Edwards made a ruling, refus-
ling to quash the writ of mandamus
land the case will be gone into at a
day to be set later by the court

Mr.. Fred Benford received quite a
Jolt this morning as his mail con
tanned an order requiring him to re-
port in Tampa tomorrow for active
service in the navy, Since he had
been assured that he would not be
called before August LIST, and his bust
ness affairs were necessarily not adj
justed so he could leave at this time,
he went down to Tampa, and secured
a permanent release until the agreed
upon date, which was a matter of
great satisfaction to himself and his
friends.
