BUILT IN STAGE COACH DAYS
shul Tavern in ohio, Is Relic That
Surely Should Be Well Worth
Preserving.

On the old State road between Pitts.
burgh and Mansfield, o. stands the
old Shull tavern, a relic of the stage
coach days. The early ancestors of
the present Shull family came origin
ally from the black forest in Ger
many. In 1862, because Of the wars
which agitated Europe at that time,
they emlgrated to America. From
this family came Berry ShulL who
moved to Ohio In 1906, and took q
section Of land on the old state road.
where he built the old two-story build
ing which is still known as the Shull
tavern. The old home is still in eX-
cellent condition.
Henry Shul built his own sawmilI
to cut the logs for the building, and
burned the brick he used. The house
contains large rooms, and has large
veranda above and below, which ex-
tends the entire length of the house.
One of the most striking features
Of the house proper is the front door,
This door is built OF n solid piece of
oak, and the outside Is paneled in the
otd colonial fashion, The side win
dows are also quaint, and the latch
with a heavy lock on the inside, is of
style seldom seen now.

ADMINISTRATION WORM
TURNS LIFTS VEIL Of g.
CRECY FROM WAR RECORD
The President Makes Interesting Disclosures to the Public
Admiral Sims Started Something He Cannot
Finish and Wishes He Hadn't

There may be q good deal Of politi.
cal mud-slinging this year but of one
thing the public can rest assured. The
administration isn't going to allow the
American war to be beclOuded. Ad-
miral Sims started something when he
began his criticism OF the navy de-
partment Practically all the admirals
Of the United States navy who were
on the other side took issue with
him. 1t is not a personal controversy.
1t is really a difference between the
American and the British way of go
ing at the war. At this end it was
suspected that Admiral Sims became
satuated with the British viewpoint.
Of course it had been charged,
particularly by the friends OF Irish
freedom, that President Wilson was
thoroughly English and that he
was constantly under British influ-
ence. The covenant of the league OF
nations has been denounced as "Wil-
sdn-British.' 1t would not be sur
prising therefore if the administration
jCck the public into it's confidence on
some Of the troubles it had with tha
British during the war.
OF course the British had trouble
with the French and SO did the
Americans. Allies never can harmon
iZe in war time. The selection of a
generalissimo and the establishment
of unity of command on land as we'll
as watCr developed because OF this
friction.
But little has been said abort the
land operations of the United States
There is much to be made public
just as interesting as the message that
nassed between the American and
British navies. Gen. Pershing could
ell some interesting stories about his
troubles with the commanders OF
other armies. If Maj.-Gen. Wood be-
comes the nominee of the republican
party and any considerable part OF
the campaign is devoted to criticism
Of the way the administration con
Quoted the war or to a criticism of
the administration for not sending
Gen. Wood to France, the next series
# revelations can be expected. The
Sims controversy has merely started
something which the administration
is belligerently taking advantage of to
answer its critics.

STATE COLORED K. OF P.
HOLD CONVENTION in
This CITY

The Ocala lodge x. Of P. (colored)
had the pleasure Of entertaining the
state organization this week, and
without an exception it was the best
attended, most enjoyable and most
successful meeting held in the his
tory of the lodge, and all are unani-
nous in saying that the cOlored peo-
pie of Ocala and Marion county did
themselves proud in their entertain
ment.
The delegates began arriving on
Monday AFTERNOON when a special
train brought in several hundred, and
they paraded up Magnolia street.
headed by the band from Jackson
Vile During the week there were no
less than 1900 visitors to the city, a
great number coming in their cars
from Jacksonville, st. Augustine, Mi
mi. ST. Petersburg, Pensacola and
from towns nearer Ocala.
Heading the delegation in Ocala
was Grand Chancellor Col. w. W. An
drews, and his opening address to
the convention was very strong one,
and was listened to with a great deal
of interest. We regret that we have
not the space to print his speech il
full He spoke as follows about this
city and her people:
I'VE feel under obligations TO the
1eople of Ocala. We love to come
lere because of the treatment we re
ceive. Your papers are liberal your
white people are kind and extend to
Us all possible courtesies. and We
want to show the world that we ap-
3reciate favors, however small they
nay be. May you all live long"
Wednesday night at the A. NJ. z.
,hurch an informal reception was
rendered the delegates and their
wives, and as large as the building
$ it was not half large enough to ac-
commodate the immense crowds.
Mayor r. L. Anderson, Jr., in well
chosen words welcomed the visitors
20 the city, and at the conclusion OF
his speech ne was loudly applauded.
Special music was furnished by the
Mt. Zion NJ. E. church, and s. A. Kel-
IOugh was master Of ceremonies.
Perhaps the largest parade ever
seen in Ocala took place Thursday
aftetrnoon when all of the delegates,
their wives, scouts, all in full uni
form, marched through the principal
streets of Ocala. There must have
been fully 1900, and in line were some
fifty or more automobiles, every seat
being occupied.
Ocala is glad to have entertained
this convention, and will welcome
them again when they see fit to
choose our city as their meeting
place. ST. Petersburg has been Sc
llected for the next annual convention.

THE ESCAPE OF THE WIRE TAP.
PERS

The ST. Petersburg Times CON-
ments as follows upon the escape of
the wire tappers from the Jail at
Clearwater:
Outside assistance was given to the
imprisoned men. That 1T was pos
sible for outside assistance to reach
the men is the blot On the escutcheon
of the county.
Proper safeguards should have been
thrown around these men, who un-
doubtedly are members of power
fEl syndicate of rascality fully COM
petent both financially and mentally
to devise a plan of escape.
Ugly stories have been told on the
streets and still uglier ones limited at
by those who have discussed the jail
delivery. Whether the stories are
true or not matter little in their gen.
eral effect They only help to make
blacker the history of the wire-tap-
ping gang in this county.
Arrested by private detectives, un-
der the direction of citizens COM
mittee, acquitted on the first count CT
the indictment against them when
laymen in court during the trial
thought conviction was certain, and
now freed by saving the bars of the
Jail windows with saws furnised
them from the outside.
