OUTRAGE AT LONGWOOD
WHEN POLICEMAN WAS
TARRED AND FEATHERED

Details are published by the San
ford Herald of Saturday of another
outrage similar to many that have oc-
currcd in Florida recently. The Her.
aid says:
Word was brought to the Herald
Office today that special policeman a.
r. Stiles of Longwood was taken out
IN the woods by band of masked
men last night and whipped and then
brought back and dumped on the
streets with warning.
AS far its can be learned there has
been bad feeling engendered in Long
wood by Stiles in arresting motorists
several wears ago when he was acting
as constable and recently he was APP
| Iointed special policeman to enforce
the speeding ordinances OF Langwood
/ ~ Mayor Hcnck ard it seems that
| Sic actions Of the band last night in
taking him out and whipping him was
| Ike result of former actions on his
Part coupled with the fact that he had
again taken the position of motor cop.
But little can be learned of the af-
fair and OF course it will be laid on
| the Ku KluX Klan as usual.
"LOngwood is an incorporated town
and Mayor Henck is very DESTROYS or
enforcing the automobile ordinances.
IL is alleged that Stiles was taken
Ont of the Allen, sore about nine
O'Clock.
Telephone call at Longwood this
afternoon said that Siles had been
taken in front of Aliens store last
night by a band of masked men. that
! ne claimed afterward he was not
whipped but that he had been taken
some distance from Longwood. Just
what it was all about no one seems to
know except the band of men and
| thew will never tell "

MEXICO CUTS OUT FREE
GAS AND TIRES TO SAVE
MORE THAN A MILLION

Mexico Coty, Aug. 15.-The Mexican
government, by refusing free gasoline,
tires, repairs and garage service to its
employees who use government auto
mobiles hopes to effect a saving of
more than $1,000,00O annually. Sew
cral more hundreds of thousands will
be saved the government when army
officers are forced to purchase their
own gala uniforms and there will be
still greater saving when all federal
employees drawing more than five
pesos daily suffer Il wage reduction
Of ten per cent.
These economies which, it is under
stood. will be made effective shortly,
are in line with a program of rigid
thrOft inaugurated recently by presi-
Dental decree. The first step was an
order to all department heads to cut
their operating forces to the minimum
and after July l to operate on the
budget system, calling for a careful
federal audit
This was followed by the imposition
OF an income tax which is designed to
cause "all inhabitants of Mexico to
contribute in small way toward the
national benefits which are expected
TO be derived from the celebration of
the cOuntry's independence next Sep
tember.'
Under the decree all persons having
daily incomes of from five to ten
pesos are to be assessed one per cent
hut 'all laborers and journalists earn
ing two pesos or less are to be ex-
empted from payment

cipal concern Of the coffee trade
today and was attended by nu-
merous spasmodic fluctuations. Tb.
prevailing trend, however, was stilI
downward. After opening at a de-
cline OF IL points, July made a
complete recovery, but subsequently
fell back again to the early low
level.
Distant deliveries opened aas
points lower and after a momentarv
halt fell Sas points below Thurs
days closing levels.
In view of the recent heavy sei,-
ing and switching Of July contracts
there were some traders who ex.
pected only small number of de-
livery notices today. Hence when
something like 100000 bags were
rendered considerable surprise was
manifested. This accounted for a
moderate volume of eleventh hour
liquidation. However, it soon he
came evident that the notices were
being promptly stopped by large
