from his voice that he had been drink
ing and that she went to the office
to get him. First. however she con-
tradicted this by saying that she had
a dinner appointment down town with
him.
Arriving at the office. she said she
discovered Bryan's body lying in a
pool of blood on the floor. There were
two bottles or whiskey on desk and
revolver with three chambers emp
tod. lay beneath q washstand. In
vestigation showed that Bryan had

scene OF the murder after being sum
noned by Mrs Griffin. made a state
ment in which she termed the latter a

DIR. MURPHREE AT
!. THE ROTE DINNER
Distinguished Educator Spoke El6-
quently of the University of
Florida and Its Needs

Rotarian A. A. Murphree, president
OF the University of Florida, adj
dressed the 0cala Rotary Club at its
regular weekly luncheon .on Tuesday.
DR.. Murphree spoke on the university
and its standing among the eduea-
tional Institutions of the country, the
great work it is doing in the state,
and its needs. He stated that the
enrolment of students in the various
schools of the university and its ex-
tension work had increased in pro-
portion much more than the appro-
priations for the institution, and that
while the appropriations had been
increased to meet the demands the
decrease in the purchasing power of
the dollar had really made the appro-
priations follow more or less level
line. He pointed out that the state
of Mississippi with an assessed val
uation less than that of Florida had
appropriated several times as much
for her university and agricultural
college. Dr. Murphree drew applause
from the Rotarians when he stated
that something like a hundred boys
are at present working their way
thru the university by waiting on
table and doing similar work around
the campus. He pointed out that
less is being spent per capita on the
students of the university than is be-
ing spent per student by any univer-
sity in the United States, the figure
of the Florida school being just a lit
tie over half of the average cost as
shown by government statistics.
DR.. Murphree pointed ont that the
University of Florida experiment
station and extension work has saved
the farmers and fruit growers and
stoclmen of the state millions of dol
lars, and that this work alone has
more than paid a return on the in
vestment in the university. Yet, as
he stated. the United States govern
ment has paid by far the biggest part
of the cost of operating the expert
ment station and conducting the ex-
tension work. He referred to the
work done to fight the citrus canker
and its success, and the experiments
at present being made concerning
soft pork. These two things alone,
he said, would have the state millions
of dollars,
Mr.. Murphree made an earnest plea
that the people of the state give their
support to the budget for the univer-
sity which viii be. presented to the
next legislature, and which was APP
proved at a meeting this summer of
representatives of all the leading or
ganizations in the state, including the
farm and horticultural societies and
the railroads.

MANY YOUTHS ATTEND
AMERICAN COLLEGES

New York, Oct. 1O.-American
youths entering college have increas-
ed in numbers at record rate during
the past six years and if the proper
Tomato growth is continued to 1850
there will be ], 1890 students in 20
institutions where .294, 900 were en-
rolled last year. These figures, COM
piled by the Institute for Public Serv-
ice, have raised the question of where
the money needed to educate these
larger groups viii come from.
julius H. Barnes, chairman of the
institute, found in a study of the
figures compiled that this years in
crease in the number of students en-
rolled in the colleges has set a new
record.
Colleges which in 1914 had 1877 900
students and last year 294, 900 will en-
roll All, 900 in 1880 and 831 900 in
1850, if they continue the same num-
Der increase each year. a report of
the institute states. But, if they
grow at the average percentage rate
of the last six years, they viii have
$4,000 students in 1890 and 1,138, 900
twenty years later.
Taking the lower estimate for
1850, it "means finding facilities for
more than three times the total for
1920 at six or seven times the salary
cost" said the report. cit means
adding $4,000 students, or 200 col
leges the size of Yale last year"
The institute asks, "will the money
to provide education for the increased
number of students come from taxa
ton, endowment, private gifts and
larges fees? Must present universi-
ties grow or more universities be
built? ?"
In numbers, the largest increase in
six years is credited to the College
of the City of New York with a
growth of $500. followed by the Uni
versity of California with 5000 In
crease and Boston University with
400. Yale was one of four institu-
tions which had fewer students than
six years ago, its decrease being 81,
the institute reported.
Concluding his observations, Mr..
Barnes said there is treason to be-
lieve that in any future democratic
ing of opportunities for higher edu-
cation, afternoon and night classes
at colleges and extension classes
away from colleges viii be needed to
give the elasticity which the demand
requires" !"

ing Monday morning to Inverness,

Letters from Mrs. Virginia Briggs
of Westerly, R. l., give the sad news
of an automobile accident in which
Mr.. Briggs was painfully hurt, and

field work for the Baptist state mis-
sion board, will hold a week or ten
days meeting in the Lake Weir Bap-
tist church, beginning Sunday. Oct.

were grieved to hear of the death of
their son, Hugh in an Atlanta hospi-
tai. Sympathy is extended to these
good people in their bereavement.
Eastlake is on quite boom this
faI. Every house and apartment is
rented and more inquiries are coming
IN every day for houses for the win
ter. Some property is changing
hands on the strength of the Dixie
highway passing through the little

MAN o. WAR WON
ASSOCIATED Press)

Windsor, Oct. 13.-Man o. War
finished ahead by eight lengths. Sir
Barton led at the start, but Jockey
Hummer put Man o. War ahead at the
sixteenth pole and he was never in
danger again. His time was 2:03.
This victory netted his owner, Sam
uel B. Riddle of Philadelphia. $751;
900 purse and a gold cup valeed at
$4,000.
Hummer galloped his mount to the
seven-eights pole a good two lengths
ahead. Then with burst of speed
the Riddle horse stretched his lead
to good eight laps. The time fol
the distance, 2:O3 fiat, is new record
for Canada, but does not equal the
record set by Sir Barton and later
tied by Man o. War. The old Canad-
ian mark was 2:03 and fraction.

Hawaiian and American swimming
not only. smashed French swimming
records during their recent visit to

other branch of sport that viii stand
for all times, according to the man
ager of the hotel at which they stop
ped. He is willing to hand them the
eating championship of the world.
Mon Dieu, they command be bif-
steck with pommes frites, three of
them," said the hotel man. The waiter
produced what is generally thought
at the hotel as sufficient for three
persons but Norman Ross is alleged
to have confscated the whole platter
while both Kahanamoku and Keoloha
were inquiring where they own steak
was. All the gesticulating eloquence
of the, head waiter failed to convince
the trio that the steak was meant for
three. Vegetables. ham and eggs,
cheese, fruit desserts followed in turn
while the manager moaned.
"Why they drink beer with all their
meals" said the head waiter, hor-
rified at the heresy of not drinking
wine for dinner. "And right in the
midst of their meal they absorb a
huge bowl of sweet chocolate"
When informed that the men were
champion swimmers of the world,
regular sea-Ions, the head waiter
said:
"Sea-Iions, not much. they are
meat-eating tigers"
