Getting Ready To
Launch New Bank;
Will SammOn
Resigns To
Go With It

For some time 1t has been generally
understood that new banking insti.
tuition would open in Lakeland in q
short time, but there has been no au.
thorized announcement of the fact
The Evening Telegram is now able to
state authoritatively that new bank
will open as soon as the necessary
preliminaries can be arranged. It ia
likely that 1t will be located in the
Van Huss corner which was formerly
used as a banking house, and on
which the promoters of the present
institution have lease. There have
been some negotiations, however, for
another location.
A number of prominent citizens
have already subscribed largely for
stock in the new concern. and it is
certain that its desired capital OF
100000 can be readily secured. Mr.
J. R. Weeks is prominently identified
with the promotion Of the new enter.
prise and his experience and vel
recognized ability as banker estab
fishes confidence in the venture.
Mr.. VIM Sammon has resigned hi.
position as assistant cashier Of tn,
First National Bank, and will be con
nected with the new concern. His
unusual popularity, coupled with his
efficiency as bank man. will 60 fal
toward establishing the enterprise
and attracting business to it.
The institution will start GU. unde,
unusually favorable auspices, at ;
time when Lakeland is apparently en-
tering upon very prosperous period
with experienced hands to guide II
and with strong current Of goot
will on the part Of the community.

Texas Football
 Squad Soon to
 Eat It's Mascot

Austin, Texas, Dec. 2O.-TEe University of Texas football team will eat it's mascot. The famous Texas steer will form the piece de resistance at the annual bal,- quet to be given the football squad early next term.
 A little history brings out the significance of this banquet. Tie colors of the university-orange and white-according to legends of the institution were adapted from the prevailing colors of the earfy Texas longhorn steer. In 1916 former students of the university headed by Steve Dinckney, captain of the 1911 football team, secured an orange and white longhorn steer from the plains of West Texas and presented him to the stud- ents on Clark field in the presence of l5,0O0 people who had gathered to see the annual A. and M.-Texas football game. Texas defeated A. and M. Fl to 7 on that day and university fans dubbed their steer the '2l to 7 longhorn."

Christian Science
 Paper Wins Suit

Boston, Dec. 2O.-A tentative draft of the findings of Judge Frederic Dodge, as master, said to De favorable to the trustees of the Christian Science Publishing so- clety, was handed today to coun- sel for the trustees and for the directors of the First Church of Christ, scientist.
 The trustees brought suit last March to have the directors re- strained from interfering with their conduct of the publishing so~ ciety's affairs.
 Counsel for both sides were giv- en 10 days in which to file excepc- ions. After passing on these Judge Dodge will hand down his final de- cision. It became known tonight that the master had found that the trustees had established their contention that they were in no way subordinate to the directors; that the two boards were interde- pendent and that the directors had no legal power to reprimand or re- move members of the board of trustees.
 The trustees, Herbert w. Eus- tace, of Boston, David B. Ogden of Brooklyn and Damont Rowlands, of Picayune, Miss, filed their bil! in equity in the state supreme court after the directors had re- moved Rowland's as a trustee ol the ground that he had "allowod a sense of interest to inter- fere with the intedests of Christ ian Science"
 The court granted a temporary injunction and after hearings re- ferred the case to Judge Dodge 2s master.
 The dispute arose from different interpretations of a deed of trust executed by Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of the church.

Onl y Few Left of
 Cannibal Race

Papeete, Tahita, Dec. 2O.-The Marquesas, fiercest cannibals among the Polynesians in the South Pacific, are disappearing A few years ago they numbered more than 50,0OO. The last census showed only 5000 survivors.
 Opium, introduced by white men into the Marquesas Islands, the most northerly French settla- ment in Oceanica, is held respon- sible by many for the approaching extinction of this race. This drug is no longer sold in the islands but is is said it's effect is shown in a death rate of 25 per cent year.
 Physically the Marquesas were magnificent. Before tatooing was forbidden the bodies of the na- tives were abrnomal by the most intricate and beautiful designs, and some of these may yet he seen. Although they had a num- Der of admirable qualities, the Marquesas in the olden days con- stantly engaged in tribal wars with the consequent feasts of hu- man flesh.
 So much has been heard in song and story of the Cannibal Islands of the "South Sea" that many per. sons believe these comprise the myriad islands doting the Pacific south of the equator. In some of the islands, scientific research workers found, man-eating was practiced but in many, notably i'1 Tahiti and other islands of the society group, cannibalism was unknown.

JAPANESE
 ACTOR IN LEADING ROLE OF J. s. PLAY
,astern Author, Mir. kido, Writes Story of Di- plomacy

Tokio. Dec. 20.-A famous Jap
 nose actor, Koshiro, played the
 (o]e of Townsend Harris, the first
 American minister to Japan, in a
 blav presented in the Japanese
 language in the Imperial Japanese
 [beatre the other day. Koshiro
 have faithful portrayal of Amer
 ca's first diplomat to Japan, hav-
 no borrowed a portrait of MT.
 Harris from the American embas-
 thru the kindness of Roland $.
 Morris.
 The play was called America or "The American Mes |senger," and was written by Oka- |muto Kido. The gate in the Aga
 hu temple in Tokio, which housed |the first diplomatic mission from |the United States was the back
 ground for the first scene of the |nlay. The samurail, father and |son, are on guard to protect Har- |ris from attack. Suspiciius Characters turk around, ready at line first opportunity to assassin l ate the stranger from overseas. lone of them is caught by the sa- mural and bound, but at Harris request is set free. Koshiro's en- trance by the temple gate, carry 1 ing the Stars and Stripes over his arm was impressive.
 The great topic of the day was whether Japan would open port to foreign trade and conservatives dashed with progressives on this point. This was shown in scene in tea house in which serving aid overhears a plot of two ruff fans who are to lay in wait for the minister on aa nearby hill and
 kill him.
 One scene is laid at the ap- preach to the bridge near the great temple of Zozoji, where the minister was attended by an es- |cort of samurai. Just as they reach the place of ambush the tea house maid rushes to the res cue, stops the retinue and delivers information about the plot. Be- fore long the two parties are en- gagged in hand to hand fight. Townsend Harris in his white dust coat emerges from his palanquin pistol in hand. But his escort ends the fray before he is oblig ed to use his pistol. One of the protecting samurai, who is the lover of the tea-house maid, is slain. In the final scene Harris is shown placing bouquet of white lilies on the coffin of the slain young samurai.

Goes for Coyotes
 in an Automobile

Harle, Mont, Dec. 2O.-Alfred Cambron, well-to-do farmer of Twete, near here, has set out to rid this section of coyotes and is going after them systematically in an auto.
 When he hears of the beasts, Cambron flies to the scene, with a flock of dogs in big touring car.
 The dogs thus arrive fresh and they after the quarry, usually with good success. When the roads or open country permit, Cam- bron also gives chase in his ma chine-shooting from the chauf. feur's seat, as old hunters did from the saddle.
 Coyote belts bring fair prices and the bounty is high.
