easily go beyond the goal set for
their rts-$2,5OO-as in two or
three hours yesterday afternoon they
had increased subscriptions to the
fund to total of over $4,000.
The work of the Chamber of Com
merce has been patiently so unselfish
and so effective that the business men
OF the community had only to be ap-
preached to embrace the opportunity
to subscribe literally to the fund,
evidencing their willingness to aid in
this splendid work, and incidentally
furnishing the strongest possible
proof of the confidence the business
men have in their commercial organi-
cation.

OF being advertised more thoroughly
than ever before, and the results will

gratifying

-FOUR FALSE ALARMS
sent IN THIS MORNING
At An EARLY HOUR

Some peoples idea of good time
takes queer turn occasionally, and
one of the occasions was this morn
ing, when between 2 and o'clock
four fire boxes were pulled in various
sections of the city, the fire alarm,
sounding so frequently, kept every
body awake for the greater part OF
an hour, and many persons were un-
able to sleep thereafter. The Fire
Department responded to the first
call, but police officers answered each
call thereafter in car, and finally
ran down the culprits when the last
box was pulled. There were no ar
rests made because the parties were
In car which was higher powered
than the one in which the officers
were seated, however, their identity
was determined and today warrant
was issued for the driver of the car,
who will be arrested for speeding and
On whom 1t is believed, can be fas-
tened the crime of pulling the boxes,
Many persons naturally believe that
the alarms were turned in by young
boys, but this is not the case as both
were grown men, one with wife and
children.

On account of Lakeland having the
largest percentage of members in the

of favorable notice. The Florida
delegation showed up we'll in the big
parade, having a hirty foot banner

OF THREE VOTES

AS was predicted, the race between

close, Mr.. Carver winning out by
three votes.
The final count showed 237 votes
for Judge Carver and 234 votes for
Gen. Allen. The popularity Of the
two gentlemen and the esteem in
which each is held by an equal num-
Der of people was certainly demon
strated yesterday. Judge Carver has
