Puts Out Fire In Parachute.

Oakland, Calif.-Hundreds of Arm
istice day celebrants watched Price
Miller, a parachute jumper, put out
fire in his parachute while dropping
hundreds of feet. The apparatus took
fire soon after Miller had leaped from
an airplane several thousand feet up.
He climbed up the ropes on one side
and flapped the fabric together until
the flames were out. The parachute
righted itself about 1000 feet from
the ground and MiHed landed safely
despite the hole burned in it.

ane Final Pull Brought Him Through

a mile from the cave entrance, deep
in the bowels of the earth. An at
tempt was made by park rangers to
pull him through the hole, but his cries
were so terrifying as the sharp stall
actites scarified the skin of his lower
forced to desist.
'"The superintendent was notified Of
Browns condition, and personally WIS.,
tied the cave. After thorough exam
ination it was determined that 1t
would either be necessary to blast him
out with T. n. T. or starve him until
his waist measurement was reduced
sufficiently to enable his passage
through Hell's Crack.
despite the indignation Of other
visitors, who were barred from the
beauties Of Organ Loft, the Frozen
Cascade, the Marble Chamber, etc., by
the rear portion of Brown, 1t was
thought better not to blast him out,
as undoubtedly some injury would re-
suit to the delicate formation of the
cave.
"By the end of the third day his
waist measurement was reduced 14H
inches, and one final pull by two park
rangers brought him through the hole
minus his pants and some skin.

tai Cave are now measured at the Ad-
ministration building at Giant Forest,

are over 32A inches are debarred from

ALAcHUA COUNTY AROUSED
Citizens of Gainesville Take Measures
to Expose the Statesmen of
Phony Stock
Gainesville SUM

Action to safeguard Gainesville and
Alachua county citizens from fake
stock dealers, said to be operating in
alarming numbers in this section,
was taken yesterday afternoon by the
directors of the chamber of commerce
at special meeting, when that body
passed resolution naming a. commit
tee of three men to investigate any
stock propositions brouht to its atten-
tion by prospective investors. On the
committee are R. F. Brush. ]. R. Fow-
ler and G. A. Pound.
The directors action followed the
appearance at the meeting of Lee
Graham, ]. M. Fennell and C. A. Phi
fer, representing the local banks, who
yesterday afternoon and this morning
published advertisements in both city
papers warning the investing public
against stock statesmen whose propo-
sitions have not been thoroughly test
ed. Mr.. Graham, acting as spokes-
man for the bankers, laid the situa-
ton before the directors in a brief
talk in which he declared that as long
as the business men had been the tar
gets of. the swindlers the bankers had
nothing to say. Widows and working
women, however, whose savings ac-
counts represented years of toll and
sacrifice, are now becoming the prey
of the fake stock statesmen, Mr.. Gra-
ham said, and on their behalf, he urg-
ed that steps be taken to thwart the
astonishingly numerous fraudulent
deals that he says are being put over
in Alachua county. He made on def
mite charge against any particular
company.
'You know and / know" Mr.. Gra-
ham said emphatically, "that there
have been hundreds of thousands OF
dollars taken out of this county in
stocks that have not had dollar OF
merit-not a dollar. There seldom has
been a stock proposition floated here
through statesmen where the investors
ever got their money back. If these
people won't go to their banks for ad-
vice, they should be advised to Og to
somebody with at least reasonable
amount of experience before investing
in any of these propositions that are
offeerd to them. If they won't do
that, then nothing will save them"

CONGRESSMAN CLARK
SPEAKS OUT SHARPLY

Miami, July 10.-Spealing in be-
half of the candidates opposing the
five bank presidents nominated for
Miami's first city commission, Con-
gressman Frank Clark, of Florida,
last night charged union labor with
melting strikes and riots and with
organizing the negro of the South.
"organized labor" said the con-
gresham, ''is today composed largely
of people who can't read or write the
English language. Austrians. Hun
garians, Dagos and everything else,
men who spend their time melting
strikes and riots. And now they are
organizing the negro in the South,
taking him into their fold"

more hits off Luffman than the ArlO
boys got off Hoy and O'Neil, but their
work on bases and their fielding was
rotten and they lost the game thereby.
They got a double and three singles
off Luffman in the first inning and
only scored one run off the hits. That
is leader to show just what was the
matter with Crystal River. The star
feature of fielding in the game was
catch by Seller in the eighth, when
he ran backwards and stabbed long
drive off the bat of Hoy. Roberts also
made pretty catch in the ninth when
he robbed Scott of good two-bagger.
O'Neil and Perez each made good
records at bat by getting three hits
out of four times up. 7. Hoy, o. T..
O'Neil, Kelly and Roberts each drew
two hits for their credit. Perez is
real ball player and that Roberts boy
is no small thing himself. The Oak
fans surely do give the Arlo team en-
couragement. They turn out in full
force and the yells of the girls espe-
cially are continuous. Not for one
minute during the game do those
loyal supporters fail to keep them
selves in the minds of the players by
their constant noise and encouraging
tumult. The men on the side lines
are also there with the goods when it
comes to roofing and the auto horns
bring into full play their various
tones to add to the general discord.
1t is this spirit behind the Arlo boys
that makes them such good players
and they should be proud of their
hackers.
Following is the box score of the

ments. work will soon begin on the
Dixie Highway and state road No. 5.

bullet IN his shoulder is causing some

it is right to worry Gaulman, unless
after recovering he makes more trou-

hopes all other people win. let him

Tallahassee, July 10.-The Florida
supreme court never has held that the

LETTER FROM MR.. zEwADskI

Editor Star: / read with much in
terest the article in your issue of last
Saturday relative to the prosecution
of two colored boys for being drunk,
by the county prosecutor. before the
county judge. 1t appeared to me to
be "boost" for the prosecutor-an
was intended, with a show of trum-
pets, to inform the public how well in
formed he was in matters of lava
note of triumph ran all through the
article-and your readers were put on
notice, that they need not doubt for
an instant the ability of said official
to correctly interpret the law. / ad-
NIT here and now that our supreme
court did not hold that drunkenness
was not a crime, as the press had it
and many laymen and lawyers were
misled. / would add to the laurels and
triumphs of this distinguished official
as friend and admirer, if e it It were not
for another prosecution of the same
two colored boys. on charge of hav-
ing pistol in their manual possesN
sion without having obtained license
from the county commissioners. The
boys were put to trial jointly for this
offense. The evidence unfolded the
fact that one of the boys was Is years
old and the other one 15. As their
attorney / requested the court In
writing to instruct the jury that the
prosecution must show that the boys
were over the age of 21 years-before
they could find them guilty the law
requiring persons to be over the age
of 21 to obtain license. The prose
cutting attorney furiously objected to
this instruction being given. The boys
were convicted and sentenced. Ny
opinion was then and is now that error
was committed-that the boys could
not be convicted for not having a
license, when the license was prohibit
ed by law from issuing to them-for
not doing what the law prevented. /
would have gladly taken writ of err
ror, but the boys could not give bond,
so l was helpless to correct the error
and the fine was paid.
It is as much the duty of prose
cutting attorney to uphold the laws as
any other person. If the said attorney
can show any law that viii uphold the
conviction of the two colored boys, on
the charge mentioned, viii gladly
write an article for your paper cor
recting all errors in this.
If the law does not provide for any
one under q years of age to obtain
license from the county commission
ers, what does the prosecution and
conviction of one under 21 years for
not having a license amount TOT
What name would you give such pro-
ceedings?
If the boys could have kept out of
Jail by giving a bond, while an ap-
peal was taken, why the errors of
said official would not have caused
any harm, other than an unnecessary
expense-but they could not and the
harm becomes fxed.
