sion, the HOrticulturists are Re-
turning Home from Ocala

The 33rd annual convention Of the
Florida State Horticultural Society
came to a close last night, the pro-
gram having been completed, and this
mornings session was called off for
this reason. One officer of the socie-
ty expressed the opinion this morning
that the four days of the convention
have been the smoothest running If
any meeting of the society that he
has attended. The members have been
heard ON the streets to express them
selves as pleased with the sessions
and with their visit to Ocala and Mar
ion county. Miami has been selected
for the next annual meeting of the So
ciety, Gainesville being a strong COM
petitor for this honor. All of the Of
ficers of the organization were re-
elected.
The buffet luncheon at Silver
Springs yesterday afternoon and the
automobile trip through the farming
sections, and to the wild orange
groves, seemed to please the horticul-
tu-ists.
A feature of yesterdays sessions
was the discussion of diciduous
fruits. The planting of these fruits
on a more extensive scale in this Sec
tion of Florida is urged. The musca-
dine grape again received attention
yesterday.
Mrs. w. T. Gary of Ocala read a
most instructive paper on ornamen-
tails, telling of the work of the Flor
ida woman's clubs in this connection.
A fine spirit of cooperation has
been shown on the part of the people
of Ocala and Marion county in enter
tanning the convention. and the chair
men of the committees in charge have
expressed themselves as very much
appreciative of the fact. The co-
operation of members of the Woman's
Club has been especially noteworthy,

REIN GIVEN TO THE REDS
Department of Labor Says They May
Not be DepOrted
(Associated PreSs)

Washington, May 6.-Secretary of
Labor Wilson ruled yesterday that
membership in the communist labor
party does not of itself constitute suf-
ficient ground for deportation of
aliens.
In ordering cancellation of a war
rant under which Carl Miller. Ger
man, was held because of such men,
bership, the secretary declared that
while extracts from the organizations
platform indicated an extremely rad
ical objective, there was no evidence
of intention to use force or violence
toward organized government.
The department of justice frankly
deplored the labor secretary's decis-
ion. Assistant Attorney General Gar
van, in charge of raids on radical ele-
ments, asserting that because of it all
undesirable aliens could enter the
folds of the communist labor party
and be free from government interfer-
ence.
Since Mr.. Wilson already has held
that an alien could not be deported
because of membership in the I. w.
W., only membership in the commu-
mist party now brings an alien within
the purview of the law providing de-
listing organizations that believe in or
advocate the overthrow by force or
violence of the government.
Although Mr.. Wilson declared that
examination of their platforms show
ed "some very substantial differences
bfswen the communist and the com
M mist labor parties, Mr.. Garvan as
SCI ed that in principle they were cab.
solufely the same"
"ly virtue of the authority placed
in the secretary of labor to interpret
application of the law" Mr.. Garvar
added, "the case of the department OF
justice falls fiat. There is nothing
more it can do in apprehending such
menacing characters as we believe
constitute the communist labor party.
The department Of justice raids OF
last January disclosed the member
ship of the communist labor party tt
be between $4,000 and 10000. Mr.
Garvin said. But he did not believ,
these figures indicated the actua
strength of the group, nor. he said
did they reveal anything 'as to th'
number of bolsheviks which will flocl
to the haven created by the latest rul
ing"
| Mr.. Garvan declared the depart
ment of labor already had released
about 1900 members of the commu
mist labor party who were taken in tn,
January raids, and that warrants il

well at Mt. Ollve, colored school, the
patrons TO do the work.
Mr.. H. L. Shearer and A. S. Pickett,
trustees of the Cottage Hill school,
appeared before the board and asked
that the board arrange either to
transport their children to Fellow
ship school or to repair their school
house and give them a teacher. The
board assured Mr.. Shearer and Mr..
Pickett that their request would have
its careful consideration.
Mrs. Kate Howell and B. H. Leitner,
trustees of the Griner Farm school,
asked that the board assist them in
building a new three-room school
house. The board instructed Mrs.
Howell and Mr.. Leitner to confer with
the superintendent and get up plans,
specifications and approximate cost
of such a building and assured them
that the board would do all it could in
making a liberal appropriation.
The following resolution adopted
by the Ocala Rotary Club and sent
to the board was read:
Whereas, 1t is well known that the
schools of the state and of Marion
county are short of public school
teachers and that Marion county last
season was lacking at the opening Of
her schools more than fifty white
teachers and that fifteen white schools
were compelled to wait until other
schools were taught before securing
teachers; asd,
Whereas, The principal reason for
the shortage was the lack of funds
in the county to offer salaries suffic-
lent to secure teachers; and,
Whereas, Many of the teachers
were mere girls, inexperienced and
incompetent to properly teach chill
dren, being employed because of the
lack of money to secure competent
teachers and as the training of our
boys and girls is the most important
work of the county. and as it appears
that the only way to hold the good
teachers now in the schools and to Sc
cure competent teachers throughout
the county is to pay higher salaries;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Ocala Rotary
Club go on record as favoring the
full 1O-mill levy for school purposes
and recommends the early selection of
teachers and pledges itself to back up
the school board in making the school
| levy ten mills.
Submitted by the educational COM
mittee, namely: w. T. Gary, Chair
man; w! P. Preer, H. w. Henry, John
H. Taylor.
The board instructed the superin-
tendent to send to the Rotary Club
! its thanks for the resolution and IT'S
interest in the schools and educational
affairs of the county.
A petition signed by number OF
the citizens of the Fort King schooI
district asking the board to grant the
use of the school house for the pur.
pose of holding Sunday school anc

CATTLE DIPPING LAW
NOT CONSTITUTIONAL

Pensacola, May 5.-The state law
requiring that cattle be dipped at GER
tain intervals to rid them of the cat
tie fever tick, was held to the uncon-
stitutional today by Circuit Judge G.
Moreno Jones, in granting a writ of
habeas corpus brought on behalf of
G. F. Parsons. a cattle owner, who
had been held for trial for alleged
violation of the law.
Attorneys for the state livestock
sanitary board Immediately took steps
to sue out a writ of error before the
state supreme court asking that
Judge Jones' decision be set aside.
In making his decision in the Par
sons case. Judge Jones held that the
act creating the state livestock sani-
tary board is unconstitutional because
it provides that the membership of
the board shall be made up of the
commissioner of agriculture, superin-
tendent of public instruction and state
treasurer, already state officials. and
Section Is of Article Is of the state
constitution says that no state offic.
ial may hold two Offices at the same
time.
Opposition of cattlemen in some
sections of the state to the law fol
compulsory dipping of cattle has lee
to a number of cases being brought
in the courts, but the Pensacola case
is the only one in which the court:
decision held the act to be unconsti
tutional, and Judge Jones has gone
into new ground in that direction.
Recently the activity of a certain
class of cattlemen opposed to the Law
has become violent, three county cat'
in Duval county being destroyed "a
night by the use of xplosives.-Tam

CHICAGO, July 30. - For the first time since ending of government con- trol of the wheat market, wheat has been sold in Chicago at less than s2.23 a bushel, the price guaranteed by congress. December wheat went as low as $2.21, an overnight tumble of 12A cents. Absence of buying de mand was the feature in today's op- erations. A generally accepted eX- planation of the apparent reluctance of purchasers was strained financial conditions, notable weakness of for eign exchange.

SENATOR SMITH MEETS OVATION
 ON H|S RETURN

PHOENIX, July S0.-That Senator Marcus A. Smith is a popular candi. date with state officials for re-elec. ton was evident from the reception accorded him by Democratic office holders at the capitol yesterday The senator stated that he did not pro- pose campaigning on the first day he spent in Phoenix, but instead put in the time in calling on his friends That has friends responded was dem- onstrated, not only by their attitude toward Senator Smith, but by the tone of their conversation.
 With Judge R. c. Stanford of this county and A. A. Worsley, J. w Nor ton and W. R. Ramsdell of Tucson, seeking nomination on the Democrat ic ticket for the senate certain citi- zens might believe that Senator Smith hasn't everything his own way Not so with w. A. Moeur, state land commissioner. Says he:
 Tt reminds me of Ajax defying lightning. Every man who runs against Mark Smith dies. I do not mean political death. Look over his tory and you will be reminded of the fate of the men who opposed Senator Smith in past primaries. They were all just as healthy and just as able as the present candidates against him and yet it looks to me as if they are inviting calamity"
 MT. Moeur mentioned in the list of men whom Mark Smith defeated in 1 the primaries anl who since have passed away, Colonel Pickett of Tombstone, a lawyer of the early days in Arizona, Eugene s. Ives of Tucson, also one of the most bril- | liant members of the bar; Eugene Brady O'Neill, who was a well-known lawyer of this city, and Reese M.
