Justice For Florida.

Justice For Florida.
One publisher of a school geography
has had the grace to write to civic
organizations in Florida asking for
photographs of interesting Florida
scenes and industries to use in its
text books Miami, for instance, is
askeS to send picture of cocoanut
palm with an alligator near it; the
picture of a swamp where mosquitoes
breed, and perhaps good photograph
of a Seminole scalping man from
New York.
The pictures are to be sent to this
geography publisher, but the Chamber
OF Commerce will select the sort of pic
lures that will be the most enfight-
ening as to conditions as they really
are in this section of Florida. Pre-
sunably the publisher will give place
to these up-to-date pictures and may
even go so far as to say good word
for Florida as a state that has been
grossly maligned by publishers of 9TH
er Biographies
But with the sending of these asked
for pictures, the Miami Chamber of
commerce-nor any other civic organ
ization in Florida-should not feel that
every geography published in the
United States should be carefully ex-
>amined, and the book carrying unfair
pictures of this state should be forced
out of use.
The Biographies used in northern
schools show the swamps and rep
tiles of Florida especially the rep
tiles. Wild jungle and ugly, scraggly
pine woods are chosen to show the
forests of the state, while the most an
tiquated~ vehicles are shown often We
hicles drawn by oxen-as the methods
by which the natives get about this
God -forsaken state. The great freeze"
is discussed as If 1t were recent his
tory The industries of the state are
treated as if they were scarcely in ex-.
istence- And it requires a visit to
Florida to get the false ideas eradi-
Gated from the minds of the people
who got their knowledge Of geography
from those books.
BY all means make a campaign for
justice for Florida among the publish
ers OF all graphies.-Miami Me-

By Associated Press

Berlin, May 30.-Spealling at a some what stormy meeting in Munich on Sat urday Chancellor Mueller declared to cheering crowd that on June 6, the day of the German presidential election, it would be Germany's business to attest the fact that she has had enough of war for all eternity and that no fool crowned or un- crowned shall drag Germany into a war of revenge" according to a report of his address in the Tageblatt today.
 Foreigners" continued pr. Mueller, have told me they could not believe it possible that the frame of mind of the German people could be changed in so short time but after the kapp coup even the entente military .offieerssyad- \ mitted to me their conviction that we had become truly democratic.'
 The chancellor referred to the coming conference at Spa as the first ray of hope which Germany could entertain that the extremists realize the irhpossibility of keeping Germany down economically and politically and at the same time demand ing extreme amounts in reparation.

SENATE CEMETERY
 FOR BONUS BILL Soldier Relief Is Considered 'OdiUus" By Some of
 the SOlOns
By Associated Pres.

Washington, May 30.-The soldier bonus bill, passed yes terday by the House, 289 to 92, will be received tomorrow by the Senate.s The measure will follow the regular course and be referred to a committee.
 Inasmuch as recess. and possibly adjournment will be taken by Con gress Saturday. until after the politi- cal conventions, the bonus bill seems doomed to a long sleep in the Senate committee. If recess is taken. lead CTS do not contemplate reconvening until about September 1. Some sena- tors are quite frank in saying that the bill will never get any further and that tomorrow's reference to a com mittee will In fact be an 'interment."
 Opposition to soldier relief has been more pronounced in the Senate than in the House, where yesterdays vote showed only forty republicans and fifty-two democrats recorded against the measure. Tax provisions of the bill are considered particularly odious by number of members of the Senate.

Throughout the republic de- taohments of horizon-Dlue clad poilus acted aE guards of honor at the cenbe- teries where lie those who fought be- side them on the field of battle.

 At 125 places there were single graves of American service men. but Memorial Day services were conducted over each of these lone graves, some of which are in southern ltaly and others in Spain.

Montgomery, May 3.--(Special)- Will the Alabama delegation vote as unit for the nomination of a candidate for President in the democratic na. tional convention?
 This has become a live question in Alabama since it was definitely estab- hshed that seventeen prohibitionists and seven anti-federal amendists had been given seats in the convention by t~e democratic voters
 Ala bama newspaper publishers in session here during the week started movement intended to show the i'm portance of Alabama's delegates stand ing together. The movement was not Tn the interest of any candidate for President In fact, 1t is not known bow the delegation stands on the vari- ous candidates for President Those Who discussed the matter called at tention to the importance of Alabama's position in the roll of states It's name Is first and 1t will always vote first when a ballot is taken. Therefore, it's position is commanding one. It is remembered that Alabama switched ta Woodrow Wilson in the Baltimore con- vention after many ballots had beer taken and that President Wilson re- ceiyed the nomination.
 The delegates will hold caucus prior to entering the convention in ths hope that a chairman of the delegation may have authority to cast the states vote as unit on presidential candi- dates.t This does not mean that tho delegation will stand together on everything. It must divide on blanks. The labor delegates will insist on strong blanks in support of labor. or- ganizattons. Those favoring the*fed- eral prohibition amendment will ask for plank declaring the democratis party to be committed to the amend ment. Anti-amendists will fight for rlank which will liberalize the prohi- bition amendment and the Volstead enforcement law. Therefore. it Is hopeless task to attempt to line up the delegation on issues
 The effort to have the delegation stand together on men is being made in order that the states influence may not be weakened. The newspaper pub fishers believe the state can hold the commanding position Tn the conven- tion if the delegation goes into the convention with an iron bound agree ment that its vote will be cast as a unit each time ballot is taken on the romination of candidate for Presi- de1t and candidate for vice presi- dent.

 LEADS ID ARRESTS Valuable Platinum Missing From Powder Plant in
 Nashville Vicinity

. Nashville, May 30.-H. B. Crone, chief chemist at the Old Hickory powder plant here. was arrested tonight on a warrant sworn out by United States Attorney Lee Douglass in connection with thefts of platinum from the plant which. officials say. may run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars Crone refused to say anything in con- nectiOn with the charges against him.
 District Attorney Swann of New York city sent to Federal Attorney Douglass letters dated May IA and 15, from Joe Weilen. a prisoner in the Tombs prison in that state to his wife and which were intercepted by the of- ficials. The letters are said to have directed Mrs. Weilen to come to Nash : vile and get $20.000 worth of stuff from Crone to cover the bail of Weiien's fellow prisoner. Robert Brown, alias Carter.s alias Brooks. who officials state, was once Crone's as- sistant.
 Brown. according to District Attor- ney Swann. was arrested recently while trying to sell platinum in New York at a pawn shop and when his room was searched $30.000 worth of platinum was found hidden in two water bottles in his suit case.

be prescribed for immigrants. The re- port stated that the present selective immigration tests were not strict enough and too often allowed an un- desirable type of foreigner to enter this country. A change in the nat uraliZation laws to the effect that a foreigner could not take out citizen ship papers unless he had fully and genuinely assimilated the principles of American citizenship was urged.
 Various other ways of bettering the present immigration laws were sug- gested in the report as the only means of producing that type of foreign born citizen who can take his place in American life with an intelligent grasp of the funda mentals of his new national duties. It was also pointed out that more logical measures should be provided for the standardization of foreign-born women.
 While admitting that limitations should be placed on the activities of anarchistic aliens, the committee said it was highly important that proceed ure under laws governing these lim- itations should be humane, just and accurate
