War has been declared on the Dia-

The syndicate, which is to be

HAS WARM MENTION !. FOR "SUNIIT' SMITH OF CLOVERLEAF CLUB

I' In an answer filed in the divorce proceedings instituted by Samuel Smith, president of the Clover Leaf club, Anna Belle Smith throws an in- teresting light on the club in which her husband holds a half interest with Fred Gardner.
 Jn the action brought by Smith he claims Anna Belle is a good cook cap able of her own support, while she in ] her answer contends that the man who habitually wears diamonds of considerable value accumulated since marriage "is well able to provide for her While her home is modestly fur 1 nished, she alleges the club IS sumptu- ously furnished and it's operation pro- 1 duces @ large revenue TOT Smith. She i claims that while Smith is able-bodied | he prefers work which requires little l physical effort, and would rather fol- 1 low the vocation of gambling, where no 1 effort is required but manipulation and ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the only requisites to success in that line" So reads the answer. Although he has failed to provide 1 for her, A0na Belle claims that he has i been able to support another dUsky damsel
 That she was forced recently to have 1 Smith appear before Justice Wheeler for failure to provide, is the assertion of the wife of the president of the Clover Leaf. whom the court ordered l to contribute $35 month toward his
 wife's support.
 Anna Belle makes further answer to the complaint, alleging through her at torncys, Alexander and Christy, thay she stopped attending the Holy Rollers when advised by friends that Smith
 objected. While it may be true that

Committees Show Standing

But for his ability and standing
Senator Fletcher would not have been
given the Craftsmanship of the COM
mittee on commerce, which takes the
place of the House committees on riv-
ers and harbors. and merchant marine
and fisheries. He served as chairman
of that committee until the republi-
cans gained control of the Senate, and
is now its ranking democratic mem
Der. All matters affecting shipping
steamboat inspection service. light
honse service. aids to navigation, GUS
tohs service, and legislation affecting
rivers and harbors come within the
jurisdiction of the committee, which is
therefore the most important of all
congressional committees to Florida.
That committee handled the bill which
created the shipping board. The COM
n2ittee, which met almost daily dur
ing the last session of Congress, also
passed bills providing for the hous-
ing and transporting of shipbuilding
employees.
Senator Fletcher is also a member
of the committee on military affairs,
and has taken an active part in all
legislation affecting the army and in
the Investigations of the war depart
ment. He was member, also, of the
judiciary committee, and during the
Goth Congress served on sub-commit-
tees and conference committees on
most of the important measures which
that committee Handkerchief as the
espionage bill, the sabotage bill, ex-
tension of the powers of the president,
and the like.

No small proportion of the Florida

that would be to cut out the gall and

The Breeze is a Cats paper, and

the truth about him is gall and worm

Epoch Making Laws

Before the monster struggle was
dreamed of Senator Fletcher had
made an unusual record in the pas
sage of constructive laws, including
the farm loan act, and when the storm
broke he, as chairman of the great
Senate committee on commerce, took
the lead in establishing the United
States Shipping Board, which has
astounded the world by the manner in
which it builded ships in which to
transport troops and supplies "over
there"
And in spite of the demands made
upon him throughout the period by
President Wilson, the war. navy and
other departments he, with his office
co-workers, have always found time to
comply with the smallest requests of
his most unassuming constituents.
Senator Fletcher is now completing
his second term in the upper house of
Congress-, and friends throughout
Florida insist that he be returned for
third term-that his record in
peace, in war has entitled him to this
honor, and that at no time has Flor
ida ben in greater need of the service
Of men of his type. His work for the
state, politically and otherwise, prior
to his election to the Senate is too
we'll known to make mention neces-
sary.

his approval to the farm loan act.
Senator Fletcher is also a member
Of the committee on public health and
national quarantine. which is of great
Importance to Florida; the committee
OF the Philippines, and was chairman
OF the joint committee on printing,
which acts as a board of directors of
the government printing ofice-the
worlds largest printing plant, at
which 5000 men and women are at
work night and day.
Because of his exacting duties he
had to resign the presidency of the
Southern Commercial Congress, but
he retains the presidency of the Flor
ida Society of Washington. He is hon.
orary president of the Southern Com
mercial Congress and a member of the
joint international high commission,
of which the secretary of the treasury
IS chairman.
