phoned The Leader this morning from
his home in Tampa and said he had

DR.. Richardson said there would be
no services at the Episcopal church

gregation to join heart and soul with
the Greeks in their celebration.

we'll as social and business ties.

who was present, to address the meet
ing. President Linn, in his usual pleas
ant manner, spoke of the desirability
of the organization of tourist club,
expressing his own hearty support
and the support of the board of trade
IN such move.
The chair then turned the meeting
over to the audience and invited an
expression from each one present. His
invitation was responded to by Mr..
Fred Schwamb, well and pleasantly
known here. Mr.. Schwamb prefaced
his remarks with some thoughts on
the subject of kickers. His thoughts
along this line were worthy and well
expressed. He went on record as say
ing that tourists were not here to kick
and that there was little here worthy
of a kick. He saw the good and closed
his eyes to the bad. He was heartily
in favor of an organization such as
the one proposed.
Mf. marry Gfeene was then called
on and briefly stated his views as be-
ing favorable to the organization of
the club. He showed his business in
stlncts by urging action. Nothing
good was too great to be accomplish
ed. He sounded the keynote to sue
cess and his talk was well received.
Mr.. F. Timmons next took the floor
and, in a brief talk, showed the desira-
bility of equipment necessary for the
entertainment and comfort of visitors,
pointing out the benefit of a. club in
attaining certain of the desired re-
suits.

.uEBKNECHT IS SURELY DEAD THIS TINE
HE AND ROSA LUXEMBOURG WERE SHOT

Berlin, Jan. 17,(By The Associated
Press. DIR. Karl Liebnecht and Rosa
Luxembourg have been killed. When
it became known yesterday that they
were at the Hotel Edin, in the western
part of the city, crowd stormed the
lobby. Both were spirited to the side
entrance, but the mob forestalled the
efforts of the troops. Rosa Luxem-
bourg was beaten into insensibility
and thrown into an automobile by the
crowd, intending to take her to the
prison a few blocks down the street.
A second mob halted the car, and a
man jumped on the running board
and shot the prisoner through the
head. The mob then dragged her off
and it is supposed the body was
thrown into the canal.
Meanwhile the troops had started
with Liebnecht for the prison in an
other car. A punctured tire stopped
the automobile, and. Liebnecht tried
to escape. He was shot by the SOL
diers.

Burgeois Bending
Every Effort To
Garry Election

Berlin, Wednesday.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-With the elections of
the national assembly less than four
days off, the bourgeois parties are
making every effort to rally both male
and female voters in a gigantic pro-
test against Bolshevism. The govern
ment is making an extensive effort to
protect the polling places during the
voting Sunday. 1t is now considered
highly doubtful if the radicals jointly
will poll more than forty-five per cent
Of the total vote.

|TARP0N TOURIST CLUB WAS Or
GAN|ZED At CITY HALL LAST NIGHT
DR.. VIM. E. Morgan It's First President
Much Enthusiasm Is Shown
At Meeting

The Tarpon Tourist club is an ac-
complished fact. The board of trade
in appointing DR.. w. E. Morgan OF
Chicago committee of one to take
steps toward organizing such club
old more for Tarpon Springs interests
as a tourist town than anything else
that has been done for 10 these many
days. His well-prepared letter which
had been previously published in The
Leader and mailed to tourists in the
city, calling for a meeting of tourists
in the city hall last night, has come
to a rich fruition.
About IS people, mostly tourists,
and a good many of whom were la
dies, assembled in answer to the call,
and at 7:45 the meeting was called to
order by W. E. Morgan as chairman,
with Lieutenant C. W. Morgan acting
as temporary secretary.
A glance over the assemblage was
enough to convince one that some
thing was going to be done, and done
right. And the sequel proves the
soundness of the conclusion. Ladies
and gentlemen were there whose at
titude and bearing denoted that their
presence was due to serious interest in
the movement.
The chairman, in short, well-word-
ed address, stated the purpose of the
meeting. He pointed out the many
needs of the tourists in a strange
town. He cited instances coming un-
der his own observations in this city
He reminded his audience that a tour.

did not necessarily depend on tourist
patronage, but nevertheless was ap.
preciative of such and was ready and
glad to encourage tourist trade, only
needing help and encouragement from
the tourists in taking the lead and
making their wishes known. He took
up each point in the letter he had
sent out and analyzed it thoroughly.
The chair then called on Alexande,,

orandum says the Hellenic govern
ment consists of S,256,OOO persons, of
whom $4,000 persons live in the king
dom of Greece and the remainder out
side its limits. Half million Greeks
in America are included in the figures
submitted. Wishing to reunite the
Greek population in the Balkans, Asia
Minor and the islands adjacent to the
kingdom, Greece asks, first, northern
Epirus, which contains 10000 Greeks
against $4,000 Albanians. 1t says that
"the former besides being in the ma
jcrity, possess higher form of civili-
zation."
AS second demand, Greece asks
for Thrace, without Constantinople.
Thrace, according to the memoran-
dunn, is peopled largely by Greeks.
"Since Constantinople, according to
the twelfth point of President Will
sons program, cannot remain under
Turkish rule" the memorandum de-
clares, "the natural solution would be
to award Constantinople to Greece
and to establish international guar
antees for the freedom of the straits"
Third territorial claims made by
Greece is for parts of vilayets in Asia
Minor. These have population of l.
$4,000 Greeks against 100000 Mo-
hammedans, and are claimed to be
both, geographically and historically
integral parts of Greece"
The Armenian provinces, with Rus
sian Armenia, the memorandum says,
should be divided into separate states,
administration of which should be en-
trusted to one Of the great powers by
the society of nations.
All islands in the near east which
are ethnographically, geographically
and economically Greek, must return
to the Hellenic state. These should in
clude islands which, according to the
treaty made in London in April, 1915,
are to be annexed to Italy. There is
a long discussion of Bulgarian claims
upon that nations efforts to realize
her dream to possess four seas-the
Black, Marmora, Aegean and the
AGriatic-which is in detail.
'It must be thoroughly understood"
says the memorandum, "that Bulgaria

GREEKS WILL NEVER REST UNTIL
ALL HER UNf0RTUNATES ARE FREE
Progress Being Made Aleng The Liberty Trail And
Hope Looms High In The Breasts Of These
Brave, But Oppressed Peoples

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-Dr. John N.
Metaxa, in an address at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania today, said that
if the peace conference failed to fright
the wrongs" of Greece the struggle
of the 10000 "unredeemed Greeks, /"
still under foreign rule, for reunion
with their motherland, mould be con-
tinued until Greece became free ma
ton.
Referring to the secret treaty of
April 20, 1915, by which Italy is to
have the twelve Greek islands of the
Dodecanesos, besides territory in
Epirus and sphere of influence in
Asia Minor, DIR. Metexa said:
This secret treaty between the
great world powers considers human
beings as goods and chattels. From
being the property of the Turk they
become the property of the Italian.
The exit of the Turkish gendarmes
heralds the entrance of the Italian
carabinieri.
''Will the day of liberation, patiently
awaited throughout the centuries, at
last dawn for these 100000 wronged
human beings, or will secret treaties
be allowed to sully the purity of pur-
pose proclaimed by President Wilson
and to stultify the efforts of the men
who but recently fought and saved
democracy"

What does it mean this trudging by

They offered all that the bave may
Where the selfish pray and the timid
