siderable local notoriety thru his pub
lie expressions concerning lessons

voted much of his time to study and
observations.

When Knight left home, at the age
OF 10. he adopted the name of Zed

changed his name to Zed o. Bowen.
1t was by the latter name that knight
has been known az GAINESVILLE, and
under this name he transacted all of
his business.
For Long Time Considered Dead.
] Altho his family here knew in more
recent years that Knight was living,
from the fact that he visited this city
a few years ago. for a long period of
years the man was believed dead. Judi
cially he was dead. for eight years ago,
in order to settle the estate Of his
mother, who died thirty-six years ago,
the court declared Knight to be legally
dead. and the estate was settled with
out knight participating in the small
share which would have belonged to
him. q o

friends noticed that the man was very.
gloomy and respondent, and tried to
avoid conversation with friends

gagged in trucking. He placed ladder

EVEN GRAVE DIGGERS
JOIN BRITAIN'S 100000
STRIKERS; BELFAST DEAD

London, Jan. est is estimated that
nearly 100000 men and women are idle
in the United Kingdom and Ireland be-
cause Of strikes in various trades, Great
ing one Of the most serious situations
industrially, that the country has had IL
face in many years. Half Of the strikers
are in Belfast, where the strike move
ment is spreading.
There arc 100000 people involved in
the strike at Belfast and &c trades are
affected, writes the Belfact correspond
ent of tie Mail. adding:
Belfast is like a dead city, its entire
social life is paralyzed The main cause
of the trouble lies in the fact that the
workers in electric and gas plants have
joined the shipyard workers in demand
ing q 40 hour week. Grave diggers joined
the strike on Monday"
The city Of Belfast by night virtually
il in total darkness. the hospitals being
lie only places where lights can be
shown without danger Of attacks by the
strikers. Everywhere else the display of
a light has caused either the stoning or
the stormng of premises. In cases where
such drastic action was not taken, the
people were forced by threats to screen
their lights. Even in the private houses

Fortunately, last night was snowy and

there might have been more trouble. This
morning men in various Of the smaller
industrial plants who had remained at
work came out for safety's sake, the
pickating having become more extensive.
One of the morning newspapers was
forced to suspend publication. The ship
yard workers are opposed to the strike
and are endeavoring to arrange a meet
ing for Wednesday,
There is no change in the situation on
the Clyde where 10000 shipyard work
ers are out, nor in London, where $4,000
ship repairers have struck and have re-
fused an offer to refer the question Of
wages to a committee.
10 these must Be added $4,000 Fife
shire miners, 5000 South Wales miners,
1000 Edinburgh shipwrights, 1000 Man

yard men and a number Of Glasgow mu
niciDai workers.
Except IN London. where the question
at stake is one Of wages, all these strikes
are due to ii demand for shorter hours,
with the same privileges and wages as
prevailed when longer hours were
worked.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-A minimum
base price of s17.50 a hundred pounds
for hogs for the month of February was
unanimously agreed upon today BY the

The inter-as1ied food council in Paris,
he said had recommended that Germany
and other enemy countries be allowed
10000 tons of pork monthly.
Business with the allies will amount to
225, 100000 pounds Of pork for the
month Of February, it was said. while

own risk an independent market for hogs
among the neutral and allied nations in
excess of their regular aIotments Mr..
Snyder said, and the food administration
will cooperate to the extent of obtain

Freedom of Seas Is
Linked TO Disarminq
and Confrdband Issue

Paris, Jan. 2S.-The conferences
among the peace congress delegates
are beginning to touch upon the ques-
tion Of the freedom Of the seas.
Some Of the foremost international
aW experts attending the conference
seem to be Of the opinion that the
freedom Of the seas resolves itself
into the question what is contraband
nothing more than the right of pri-
cate property to move upon the seas
in time of war. Discussion is ranging
around the proposition that the league
Of nations shall decide what is con-
traband.
The question of disarmament has
already been discussed, and the re-
lated problem of revising interna-
tional maritime practices will go hand
N hand with it. Thus the freedom of
the seas and All questions which bear
upon it are being approached with
consideration for their relationship
With one another.
