Stone took leave, and made for

After that, matters whizzed.

with curiosity.

went hack the way they had come.
Stone stopped at the boarding
house he had noticed on the way
to the s%anatorium. and rang the
bell.
Sure enough, Bates lived there
and Bates was st home.

BATES, THE BURGLAR.

Brought before the magistrate.
Bates told a coherent though
amazing story.
1t seems he was Estclle's lover,
and had long ago persuaded her
to let him know when Miss Car
rington had a quantity of jcwelry
in the house, that he might essay
a robbery. The plan was simple.
Estelle had promised to slip down
stairs at 3 O'Clock aud raise a
window for his entrance, and
later, but before any one else was
about, she was to slip down and
lock it again. In the meantime,
they assumed, the burglary would
be quietly accomplished, their
supposition being that Miss Car
rington would be asleep in her
bedroom, and the boudoir easy of
access.
"You entered by the window,
then, at what timei" asked Stone,
who was doing most of the ques-
tioning.
cat 3:45 in the morning" re-
piled Bates, and all noted that
this was shortly before the hour
when Mrs. buckingham saw
through her field glass a man leav-
ing by the same window.
"You went directly up the
stairsi"
eyes; Estelle had often told me
the lay of the rooms, and / went
straight to the lady's boodore."
"You carried with you a black
jack. Did you have murder in
your hearth"
"That l did not! I took that,
thinkin' if the lady woke up and
screamed, I'd just give her a tap
that would put her to sleep with
out hurtin' her at all, at all. I'm
no murderer, Sir, and I'm confess
sin my attempt at burglary, and
and assault, 80 I won't be &C.

TEACHER SUPPLY
is INADEQUATE
SAYS EDUCATOR!
BY HERBERT FELkEL.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 29.-Dfxie NJ
Hollins county superintendent of Pin
elias county, returned to Tallahassee
IN the interest of two local bills and toi
work for the passage of several edu- "A
cational bills advocated by the school
psopie Of the state. Speaking of thc(
various measures Mr.. Hollins said /
There is more real constructive school
legislation in this session than in anyl
I have ever Known. There is the freel
text book bill to provide every boy and
girl with adequate books, there is the,
Mothers pension bill that will enable,
the widow to send her children toe
school, then there is the compulsory
school attendance bill to see that they
all go to school, there is the bill to-
give them the physical training 50
much needed by all. and the medical
inspection bill to safe guard their
health after they get to school. but
howabout the one great essential and
prerequisite for every school the train
ed teacher. Without teachers all these
other measures must fall far short Of
their great aims. For after all the
teacher is the school and without train
ed teachers there can be no schools
regardless of the building and equip
ment and attendance and physical iit-
ness of the children.
How about little help along the
line of supplying teachers? The state
needs annually 1000 teachers. The
two state schools are producing about
fifty annually.
How about little money for state
normal schools for the exclusive pur-
pose of training teachers. Florida is
the only southern state that does not
provide normal schools for the train
ing Of its teachers. Why not Florida?

End Came Last Night At
Pensacola Hospital Fol-
lowing Illness of Four
Months Duration.
HE DID WORK WELL
AS NEWSPAPER MAN
Body Will Be Shipped Today,
At Noon to Bridgeport

terrnent.

Harry r. Cook, publisher Of the Jour-
nal, died at 1910 o'clock last night. 4
at the Pensacola Hospital, following
an illness of four months. Mr.. Cook
had been in failing health for some
time. having gone to Chicago early,
In January. where he was .lder the
care of specialists. Later he went TO
French Lick Springs for recuperation
and much needed rest. returning to
Pensacola early in March.
On his return to the city he seemed
much improved in health. but = heavy
cold developed into pneumonia. An
operation proving necessary he was
operated upon at the Pensacola Hos
pital. The operation at first seemed
most successful, but later compIica-
tions set in, and death came es a
release from much suffering, after
many weeks of critical illness.
AS publisher of The Journal. Mr..
Cook has been not only successful
from the standpoint of the newspaper.
but few outside The Journal Office
realize how much he was permitted
to do for the government. during tho
world war. and with what unfailing
courage and zeal he carried burdens
imposed by war conditions. While
newspapers were going down Ill over
the country like card houses, and ren
were being called to the colors, Mr..
Cook did literally the work OF three
men, and did that work well. His life
was given as truly for his country as
though he had died on the field of ba.-
tie.
Modest as to his own qualifications.
generous in his estimate of others,
quick to resent wrong and ever ready
to forgive and TO think wen OF others.
he was the type of business man who
can Ill be lost 4 any community.

vertising manager of the Norfolk Led
