out 'the supposition that Mr.. Elliott

EVENING TELEGRAM NOW PRINTED AT One
OPERATION ON COSS "COMET" PRESS

Readers of the Evening Telegram
nay have noticed that their copy of
the paper Thursday afternoon was
different-that the paper was larger,
and that there was something about
its appearance that gave it a metro
pclitan character, and took it out of
the class of small town publications.
This intangible but none-the-less dis
t:nctive effect was due to the fact
that for the first time in Lakeland
or Polk county newspaper was
printed on a press built to meet the
requirements of city journalism. The
Evening Telegram has reached the
epochal point where hand-feed press
is no longer adequate for it's circu-
lation requirements. and without ado
or flourish of trumpets yesterday it
entered the comparatively small class
of newspapers in Florida operating a
fast roll-feed perfecting press.
The press which has just been sue
cessfully installed in the Evening
Telegram press room is the we'll
known Comet, made by the Goss
Printing Press CO., one of the world s
foremost manufacturers of printing
machinery. 1t was purchased last
summer, but delivery has been de-
layed, and the installation has juse
been effected. The press was erect
ed by Mr.. T. D., Fiegel, an expert
in fact as well as in name, who came
down from the north for the purpose.
He will leave the machine in charge
OF Mr.. Alonzo Trueblood, who will
oversee it's operation, while retaining
his position as linotype operator. The
press has many and pronounced ad-
vantages over the type of press here
tofore used by this paper and which is
generally found in cities or towns Of
Lakeland's size. In all printing Of
fees in this county, and in all.interio-
towns and cities of Florida, with one
exception, presses are used which
necessitate that sheets of paper Gu
to the required size are fed into
press one at time. and only one
side lis printed at an operation. To
produce an S-page paper, therefore
the sheets are run through to print
four pages, and then they must be
run through q second time to print

RUBE ALLYN in
DENIAL OF ALL
KNOWLEDGE OF
HICEL MURDER
First Statement of Picturesque
Newspaper Man Made Yester-
day-Says He Knew Nothing
About the Killing

Bradentown, Jan. 15-Rube Allyn
formally denied any connection with
the murder of Harry l.. Higel, in a
statement made here yesterday. His
statement was brief and pointed:
Il have maintained all along that
had no knowledge of the crime" ("
He declined to go into details or
II AXE any general discussion of the
case.
A surprising development was made
when Mrs. Higels application for
appointment as administrative of her
husbands S estate was heard here yes
terday. 1t was ascertained that Hi
gel left personal property valued at
only $40O. No other property of any
kind was listed. He was supposed to
be rich His real estate on Siesta
Key was not included in the schedule.
Another resident of the Key has
been found who saw Allyn, or a man
resembling him, on the morning of
the murder, in the vicinity of the
place where the crime was committed

the remaining four pages. Then,
usually, the sheets must be fed again
through a folding machine before
they are ready to be delivered to the
reader. These slow and tedious pro-
cesses are eliminated by the fast and
snappy Comet" Instead of it re-
quiring a man to handle each sheet
twice or three times to complete the
operations of printing and folding.
the Goss takes care of all these pro-
cesses itself. A huge roll or spool of
paper weighing a thousand pounds is
placed in position, and the machinery
unwinds this roll, carries the paper
through at great speed, printing the
entire eight pages at once, cutting the
paper at the proper point as it passes
through, folding it accurately and de-
livering it ready for the reader at
speed of approximately 5000 complete
papers an hour. 1t is ample to take
care Of the needs of city of $4,000
people, and before that point in Lake
lands population is reached, the Ev-
ening Telegram, which has always
anticipated and never Jagged behind,
will replace it with a machine thar
will provide for a population OF
100000.
In addition to these press facili .
ties, which will enable the manage
ment to give larger and better pa
per, to make earlier deliveries, and
generally to serve its fast growing
chenille more satisfactorily, consid-
cradle other equipment has also been
Installed, including a stereotyping
outfit, which will enable pictures and
other features to be made into print
ing plates from matrices, thus max
ing available many desirable fea-
lures that it has been heretofore i'm
possible to handle, but which will
greatly add to the interest and en-
phasize the, metropolitan character Of
the paper In a word the manage
ment believes that there is nothing
too good for Lakeland and its peo-
pie, and it is the desire and the de-
termination to make the Evening Tel
egram one of the institutions to which
the citizens may point as an example
and exponent of the community s
progressiveness and public spirit.

EVANGELIST SMALL
TO LECTURE HERE

Sam Small,' the famous Southern
evangelist, editor and lecturer, will
deliver a patriotic address on 1.-THE
Salvation of Uncle Sam at the First
Christian church, Thursday evening
January goth at 1880 p. m.
Sam Small has been before the pub
lie for over thirty years, particularly
combating the licensed liquor traf-
fic. He is consequently entitled to d
place among the leaders in the sue
cessful campaign for national prohi-
bjtion. He has also been active in
public life for many years, having
served on the American Commission
to Paris in 1878, in the United States
army in Cuba as supervisor of public
instruction and as editor of many
southern newspapers.
Mr.. Small, however, is chiefly
known because of his power on the
Platform. Vice-President Fairbanks
said of him: During my tour of the
south, l learned of many orators of
high distinction, but none is more
popular and more deservedly so than
Sam Small, as his own people affec
tionately call him." and President Nc
Kinley said, Il heard DR.. Small last
evening and, as often before, got both
instruction and fine amusement from
his versatile genius.
The meeting here is part OF ma
tional campaign being conducted by
the National Reform Association, the
oldest reform body in America, in be-
half of law enforcement and of ma
tional righteousness and justice.

Dear Sir:
Referring to your article in Thurs

with the shooting to death of Mr.. D.

friends of Mr.. Elliott, cannot offer
any objections to the testimony CIV

as printed, and we appreciate the lat
ter part of the article as printed by
you in behalf of Mr.. Elliott as to be-
ing good citizen.
I, for one, do take exceptions to
that part of your headlines which
states that the officer showed his
badge to Mr.. Elliott. In the testi-
mony made by Mr.. Allen or Mr..
Harrelson neither witness claims this
was done, yet you make the state
ment regardless of the fact that it
was night and neither the officer nor
Mr.. Harrelson stated that Elliott
faced north when accosted, but

them. 81
