He seemed quite comfortably To-
Gated and had no complaint of the
treatment he had received from Mex

to him from their home. jenkins has
a desk and typewriter in his room

Jenkins described his kidnapping to

and classified during the Diaz regime
for the study of crimnology.
1t was about 9 o'clock in the even,

home to inspect his factory. Five
! bandits evidently hidden in the fac

him to open the safe. The bandits
took the contents, consisting of more
than $4,000 pesos. jenkins said he
thought then that they were through

find that they insisted upon his ac'

EXPOSITION
COMMISSION
IS invited
TO COME TO PALATKA
AND INVESTIGATE ADvANTA-
GES THIS CITY OFFERS FOR
HOLDING THE FLORIDA PUR-
CHASE EXPOSITION

Formal invitation to the Florida
Centennial Purchase Commission,
through Chairman W. G. Brorein, OF
Tampa. has been made by commit
tee named by the Executive Commit
tee of the Business Mems Association
and it is expected that the commission
will either hold it's next session in
Palatka or pay a visit here before
holding the final meeting to select a
site.
At meeting of the Executive Com
mittee Of the Business Mems Ass5cia-
tion Monday night the matter was
thoroughly discussed. The question
of just what will be required of the
city where the exposition is to be To-
Gated is of chief concern. A letter
was read from Chairman Brorein, of
the commission, in which he stated
that the maximum cost of such an ex-
position would be ten million dollars.
But this, of course, is beyond all con-
sideration in Florida.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that the exposition in Charleston in
1903 cost less than one million dollars,
and was characterized by a board of
architects as being the prettiest eX-
position ever built in America. From
these figures it is believed that the
Centennial of Florida's purchased
can be splendidly celebrated by the
expenditure of not over $3,OO0,0O0.
Most of this money is appropriated
by the State and Federal government,
Location the Thing.
| The question Of location is the
first consideration in the minds of
the commissioners having in charge
the fixing of a site. Had Pensacola
been centrally located there is little
doubt but that the site would already
have been awarded to that city.
George R. Hilty was recently in
Pensacola and said he was convinced
that in the event Palatka became an
applicant for the exposition Pensacola
would give its support to the move
ment.
1t is the intention of the local COM
mittee to call in the support Of trade
bodies in the various cities in this vi
cinity, as well as in south FLORIDA.
The housing problem will be one in
to which surrounding cities will have
to be considered. The facilities af-
fcrded at St. Augustine, Daytona,
Jacksonville, Ormond, DeLand and the
many small towns where some hous-
ing facilities are afforded. With an
deposition the size it is hoped to make
the Centennial all of those who visit
l. could not expect to secure hotel ac-
commodations in the city, and many
would not care to.
1t was also pointed out at the meet
ing that where expositions have been
held the hotel accommodations always
expanded to meet the emergency.
