VOTE ON BOND
issue THURSDAY
First Election On $4,000 For
Larger Hospital Will Be
Held Tomorrow

Qualified property owners residing
in Lakeland will tomorrow have an
opportunity to vote either for or
against a bond issue of $4,000 for
enlarged hospital facilities for Lake
land. The matter has been discussed
pro and con for several days until
every voter is more or less familiar
with the details of what is sought to
be accomplished. General recogni
ton is given the overcrowdod condi
ton of Morrell Memorial Hospital. ev
cry inch of space now being needed
to care for patients with oftentimes
no accommodations even for urgent
cases.
Opposition TO the bond issue as ex,
pressed on the streets seems to be
based on a desire to secure a more
suitable location while others object
to permitting so-called outsiders to
have accommodations, preferring to
restrict the use of the building to res
idents of Lakeland.
Those favoring the issue state that
by the purchase of the property OF
G. NJ. Jones, ample room will be pro
vided for new unit, in addition to
caring for the colored population. AS
for the objection 10 allowing outsid
ers to use the hospital facilities, il
is pointed out that from a selfish bust
ness standpoint this is a paying prop
osition inasmuch as at least 60 per
cent of the patients are pays" from
outside Lakeland while the city fur.
nished only 40 per cent, this per
centage including many charity cases
From the humanitarian standpoint il
is urged that Lakeland cannot live
unto herself; that it is impossible to
erect fence around the city and to
tell the sick in other sections of Polk
county that they are not wanted here.
It is estimated that the revenue ac-
cruing to the hotels and business
places by reason of the coming to
Lakeland Of those needing hospital
attention together with the friends
who usually come, too, is big asset
to the city.
The only voting place is at the city
hall, the polls opening at o'clock
and closing at sunset.

turning over of the prisoners to the Phillips county officers to be taken to Marianna to await trial. The officers accompanied by Sheriff Mays and deputies left this afternoon for Mari anna. Many officials here expressed the fear that the negroes would be taken from the officers and lynched.
 Attorney General Utley's resolution follows:
 Whereas, it is provided by law that when new trial is granted to a condemned felon, after he has been conveyed to the penitentiary, such felon shall be conveyed back to the place of trial by such guard or guards as the penitentiary commission may direct; and,
 Whereas, the members of the peni- tentiary commission reside in differ ent parts of the state and it is highly inconvenient to have a called meeting .cf the commission on short notice; and,
 Whereas, demands are frequently made by officials of the various coun- ties for the custody of such prison CTS; now, therefore be it
 Resolved, by the penitentiary com mission, now in session, that hereaf- ter, when demand is lawfully made for the custody of any such prisoners as above described the keeper of the penitentiary shall, and he is hereby authorized, to deliver such prisoners to any agent designated by the proper court or judge, or to the sheriff of the county to which such prisoner is being returned"

SIMS SPEECH
 DRAWS FIRE
Public Reprimand Unavoidable, Secretary Denby Says-Ad- miral Declares He Did Not Know Speech Was Loaded.

Washington, June 24-"Having spilled the beans, I got what was coming to me-" said Admiral Sims, shortly after he had received the re- primand.
 The admiral called at the White House and spent five minutes with President Harding. He explained that it was "only courtesy call"
 Aske dto comment on the action of Secretary Denby, the admiral said:
 Having spilled the beans, I got what was coming to me. l think the incident is now closed. l am very sorry to have caused the administra- ton any inconvenience. I didn't know it was loaded as much as it was"
 Washington, June 24.-Rear Ad- miral William s. Sims was publicly reprimanded by Secretary of the Navy Denby today for his now, fam ous "packass" speech in London.
 In the reprimand, which will be- come part of the admiral's record, Secretary Denby made it plain that Admiral Sims offense was all the more grievous because he once before has been publicly reprimanded for a similar transgression.
 "Your remarks on the occasion now under discussion therefore constitute a fragrant and deliberate disregard of specific instructions" said Secretary Denby.
 "The department is not unmindful of your record and achievements as an officer of the navy" the reprimand continues, "but the conspicuous posi- tion you now hold, coupled with the fact that you previously offended in a similar manner, merely serves to add to the gravity of your present of fense.
 "The department deplores that it is necessary to rebuke flag officer in public, but you have made such action unavoidable. The department ex- presses it's strong and unqualified dis approval of your conduct in having again delivered highly improper speech in foreign country, and you are hereby publicly reprimanded,"
