TAMPA CONDUCTOR
ACCIDENT AlCI | ]lEil Y!lC'TllM
! is ,JURY'S'- J. VERDICT VI r

]. T. Ashby. of this city, who went
to Tampa last Saturday to testify be-
fore the coroner's jury in the case OF
Jesse j. Jandreau, who lost his life
in fall from street car on Seventh
avenue, in Ybor City, told the Even
ing Telegram that the verdict of the
Jury was accidental death by falling
from the running beard of the car.
The theory that Jandreau, who was
a conductor, was hurled from the
running board by an auto parked by
the side of the double-tracked trolley
line, was not supported by the evil
Gence, witnesses testifying that they
did not see the conductor touch an
auto.
Mr.. Ashby is very glad to have it
proved that his car was not even in
directly the cause of the accident, al
though. even If the man had hit the
car, as had been claimed, no blame
would have attached to the owner, as
it was as close to the curb as it could
be driven.

Just a few words regarding the
human leeches that nave infested the
country at large and especially the
small towns of Florida. How much
longer will these vultures be allowed
rot only to profiteer, out to wilfully
ard wantonly rob the peope who are
compelled to live all the year around
and pay rent just because there are
few who come here to toast theii
toes over the winter and are willing
to be held up, there is no reason why
all-the -yaar-round residents should
have to give up to these vultures the
same as pleasure seeking people are
"willing''to be held up for. or get out
In the summer these vultures crawl
like lambs to rent you their places,
and ever offer you extra inducements
to occupy Teir empty rooms and
houses. but as soon as II is time for
| the snow birds to flock in, y0d can
pay what the tourists pay or get out
When say vultures, refer to peo-
pie who have the unmitigated nerve
to- jump their rents mp in the fall
from SIS to s25 per month. ! am in
| formed that we have law protect
ing us against such outrageous prof
/ teering: if so. where is the man or
men who represent the government
in such matters?
The newspapers of this country are
! fearless enough in attacking men in
nolitics when they are being imposed
upon the public. Why not be bold
enough to take up the fight Of the
renter and rid the town Of these hu-
man vultures so that the people viii
not only want to come here but stav
here and help to make it a greater
Lakeland. But by the present meth
DDS, it cannot be but one end. and that
is a desire to get out and stay out
Trusting you will use your valued

Saves million dollars
at H:oPewell
Manufacturer hampered production by labor shortage
municipal restrictions and high power
finds big advantages at Hopewen

A manufacturer came to us last Spring
and boug ht certain used equipment at
Hopewell He planned to have this
equipment dismantled and moved to
city in New Jersey for re.erection. His
search for a suitable location, however,
was frutIess. In some places municipal
ordinances were too restrictive in others
sufficient housing facilities were lacking;
still in others insufficient labor and an
inadequate supply of water interfered.
We suggested during a conference that
he consider the possibility of locating
plant at Hopewell and allowing the
equipment to remain.
Upon investigation, this manu-
facturer discovered that for the same
amount of money expended in moving
the equipment from Hopcwel and in
stalling it elsewhere, he could buy plant
at Hopewell four times as large. But what
was of far more importance to him, he
found that he could get his plant in oper-
alton six months earlier than bymoving it.
