FATHER BOTTOLACIO

Everybody in Ocala will regret the
passing away of Rev. Dominic Bot
tolacio, the good old priest and pastor
for nearly a quarter of century of
St. Phillips Catholic church, who died
at his little home in the fourth ward
this morning.
Father Bottolacio was a Corsican
by birth, but had been in America
a long time. He took charge of st.
Phillips church about the time Of the
Spanish-American war. and except
during few vaactions has been with
it ever since. He was well-educated
and genial man, had travelled exten-
sively and had not only the trust OF
his little congregation but the kindly
esteem of all who knew him.
The Star has not been fully in
formed about the funeral, but under
stands it will take place Tuesday in
st. Augustine. McIver & MacKay
have charge of the arrangements.

BOUND OVER TO
UNITED STATES COURT

c. w. Murphy, who was arrested at
his home near Umatilla several days
ago by Deputy U. S. Marshal A. j.
Brigance, on a charge of tampering
with Uncle Sans mail last October,
had a hearing before Commissioner
D. S. Williams this morning and was
placed under a $500 bond to appear
at the next session of the United
States court.
Murphy, it appears, cashed a draft
that had been sent through the mails
while he was carrying a mail route
last year. In the preliminary hear
ing he tried to implicate another
man, but the testimony did not fit his
version of the case, and as above
stated, he was bound over on the
charge preferred. Murphy is now in
the Marion county Jail, having failed

EMBARRASSED BY AMERICAS
,--- ABSENCE

The text of the note from the
French and British ptemiers on the
Adriatic situation, to which Presi-
dent Wilson's reply was delivered in
London yesterday. was made public
last night by the state department. 1t
conforms closely to the summary
cabbled from London February 27,
and emphasizes the Importance at
tached by the premiers to the fact
that Mr.. Wilson had previously "ex-
pressed his willingness" to accept a
settlement arrived at by direct nego-
tiations between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia.
The premiers state that absence of
an American representative from
their deliberations had proven an al
most "insurmountable obstacle" to
successful adjustment of "the legiti-
mate, though conflicting, aspirations
of the Italian and Jugo-Slav peoples. .
