The first of the week a petition
was brought to Us requesting the
city dads (Lord blessem) to pass
an ordinance appropriating mon
eys for different things, among
the m 81. 900 for salaries. That
81, 900 sa' ary didn't look good to
us, so the Herald refused to sign
unless that salary WAS changed
to street fund. However, Atty
Doughty informs US that the
salary" fund will be used on the
street anyway, in which case the
$1,000 would be all right.

JERRY CARTER
ISSOJOURNING
IN NWASHTNCTON
Well Known Florida Politi-
can Says He is Attending
to His Own Business" in
Capital.
BY GEORGE Il. MANNING.

Washington; June 6.-Jerry w.
Cartea, generally known all over
Florida as Jerry on the job" one of
Governor. Cats strongest supporters,
has been spending a few days in
Washington engaged in what he calls
his own business" Jerry Carter,
who is one of the best known poll
ticians in Florida, says he is still as
strong a Cats man as eve4.
When asked why he was so strong
for Cats when so many other Well
known men have turned against him,
Jerry said:
Because he's got more CUTS than
any man in the state and they are
non-s skid and nobby treaded,' indicat-
ing that Jerry thinks well of the gov
ernor.
While here Jerry cemented a close
friendship with Congressman j. H.
Smithwick, of the third district, and
was shown all over the town by the
new congressman. Jerry's business in
town is still a profound secret.
CONGRESSMAN Smithwick has nomi-
mated Herbert Il. M. G.. Mathews, of
Pensacola, for entrance to the Mill
tary Academy at West Point. Mat
thews is now student at Virginia
Military Academy where he has been
preparing for West Point. He was
Fly at the head ef the Boy
Scouts of Pensacola, and is very well
known about Pensacola. He will en-
ter West Point in JULY.
Sego Sanborn, OF Jacksonville, who
served in the 42nd machine gun com
pany, has been discharged from the
army and is visiting his brother, Sam
Sanborn, Secretary to Congressman
Smithwick He came to Washington
from Camp Knox, Kentucky, where
the machine gun training camp is To-
Gated. When he concludes his stay
with his brother, he will depart for
Jacksonville to take his old position in
the postoffice there.
The house has increased the appro-
priation for exterminating the sweet
potato weevil in the agricultural ap-
preparation bill from $S6.000 to $780,
000 This weevil has injured the
sweet potato crops in Florida and
Louisiana more seriously than in any
other part of the country.
CONGRESSMAN Smithwick received
many letters and kilograms from his
district asking that the appropriation
be increased by $4,000. He took an
active interest in the matter, held
conferences with Chairman Haugen,
of the agricultural committee, and
Mr. Lever, the ranking democrat, TO
explain the seriousness OF the situa-
tion to them, and was much gratified
when the appropriation was increased
by $4,000.

Differences of Opinion and
Bitterness Engendered in
Heat of Debate Blotted
Out.
|TWO-PRIMARY BILL
TALKED TO DEATH
No Action Was Taken on
Governors Special Mes
sage Urging Adoption of
Woman Suffrage.
BY HERBERT FELKEL

Tallahassee, June 6.-No excitem ent
marked the closing of the legislature
which adjourned sine die today, off,
cialIy at noon and in fact at o'clock
the gravel struck and President Calk-
ins announced the senate adjourned
sine die NIisinterpreting the signal
Speaker Wilder had struck his gravel
ten minutes earlier.
But little business was attempted in
either house today except receiving
messages and adjusting matters sub
mitted to conferences.
To make assurance doubly sure both
bodies reenacted a bill providing for
accepting federal aid for building state
highways, there being some question as
to whether the original bill to which
the Wilder Scruggs amendment mad
been attached afterwards striken from
had ever been read in the house in
full. AS a matter of precaution the
bill was enacted.
The house met the senate's objec-
tions to amendments to CaSh's bill
repeating the Bryan primary law and
providing for return to the two pri-
mary system but the bill was after
wards lost in the senate by being laid
on the table subject to call. a. fll-
buster was organized on this measure
and it was talked to DEATH
Resolutions thanking the press for
full and fair reports of Legislature
proceedings were adopted in both
houses.
Difference of opinion and all bitter
ness engendered in the heat of debate
were blotted out when the hour for
parting came to members of the house,
and the greater part of the morning
was spent in exchanges of courtesies
and affectionate good-byes.
Memory books and autograph al
buns were circulated, and on every
hand, was evidence of genuine regret
at severing the associations of the
past sixty days. A pleasing incident
of the closing hours was the presenta-
ton of a handsome silver service to
the speaker of the house by Mr.. Way
bright, of Duval, on behalf of the mem
bArs of the house and an exquisite sill
yer and porcelain after dinner coffee
set presented by Miss Myrtice MECas-
KILL to the speaker~~on behalf or the
house attaches.
Attaches also presented a handsome
gift to Chief Clerk John G. Kellum,
who has served continuously for eigh-
teen years at the chief clerks desk.
In acceptance the speaker thanked
the members and attaches for their
splendid cooperation and said that
the legislature just closed will be
known as one of the most construc-
tive in the history of the state.
Before adjourning the senate passed
a resolution introduced by Senator
Russell. calling upon Chairman George
H. Raney of the state executive com
mittee to call a convention for the
purpose of adopting a party platform,
II being understood that nothing else
shall be taken UP by the convention.
Delegates will be selected by county
conventions to be called by county
chairman of executive committees.
The session was adjourned without
acting on the governors special mes
sage on woman suffrage.

EUROPE is IN
NEED OF HELP.
SAYS VANDERBILT
az GEORGE Il. MANNING.

Washington ID. c., June eff the
Germans sign the peace treaty some
time this month General John Perish
ing, commander of the A. E. F.. will
return to the United States in July
after a stay of about two years in
France, war department officials be-
lieve.
It is expected that with the probabil-
ity of a renewal of the war against
Germany removed General Pershing
will come home without delay and leave
the American army of occupation in
charge of Major General Hunter Lig-
git who is now actually in command
of the American forces in the occupied
enemy territory.
The war department is maintaining
the greatest secrecy about the probable
return of General Pershing, for obvious
reasons. 1t is realized that if the Ger
mans refuse to accept the peace treaty
the American army Of about 100000
now centered about Coblenz will i'm
mediately go forward into German ter
ritory along with the French and Brit
ish forces. That General Pershing will
bein charge of the American force if
hostiIities are resumed there is no
doubt. His return if peace is not con-
cluded, therefore. is beyond conjec-
ture.
Secretary Baker when asked upon
his return from France when General
Pershing was coming home said:
General Pershing told me not to ex-
pect him before the first of July" Then
he quickly added: But that is OF
course if nothing happens, and there is
nothing very sure about 1t either"
The question has often arisen at the
war department as to who viii know
turn home and who will give him his
orders. 1t is generally believed that
General Pershing will himself deter
mine when his task is done and will
suggest his return and the issuance OF
the proper instructions.
What shall we do with Pershing af-
ter we get him homer" is the question
most seriously agitating Secretary
Baker and war department officials.

Atlanta, June 6.-Three thousand
Western Union employees in the south
east have obeyed the strike order
of President Konenkamp, of the
