Baton Rouge, La, Feb. 9.-Lonnie
Eaton, the negro whom the sheriff for
got to hang, may be legally dead. At
torney General Coco admitted. He
said he did not know, but the reports
from Cuachito Parish prison, where
Lonnie had been eating three square
meals daily since his execution was
mislaid by Sheriff Grant Feb. 4, do
not indicate that his appetite suffered
on account of his possible demise.
Sheriff Grant wrote the governor
yesterday that in the press of civil
and criminal matters he forgot to
hang the negro. He did not know
what to do about it and asked for in
structions.
The governor turned the matter
over to the attorney general, who is
raking the law books for precedents
Attorney General Coco said today
there was an application for commu-
tation of the negro's death sentence
pending before the pardon board, with
recommendations for clemency, and
added that as a member of the board
he favored it.

closed an interesting and profitable
convention at one o'clock Tuesday
and the members left for their re-

of Tampa, PRESIDENT of the Florida En-
gineering society.
During the business session which
followed a discussion came up rela-
tive to the work of the State Road
Department and the present situation
with regard to it. A special COM
mittee was appointed to cooperate
with the state road commission in Sc
curing legislation to correct the nast
unsatisfactory condtiin of affairs, it
being the sentiment of the meeting
that the state road departmnt should
be continued and it's usefulness in
creased by preventing politics from
entering into the management. The
point was brought out that full au
thority in technical matters should be
i? the hands of the state highway en-
gineer, after the commission has de-
cided what roads sholl be built. Chas.
A. Browne of Tallahassee, the present
highway engineer, was present and
expressed his appreciation of this
support from the Society.
Monday afternoon was given over
to recreation, part of the delegation

BARLOW TO INSTALL
AUTOMATIC PHONES

Barlow, Feb. 9.-(SpeciaD-Th
last shipment of automatic telephone
equipment for Barlow, it is promised,
will be made from the factory on Feb.
20. This will be a shipment of line
switches, the mechanism that actually
replaces the operators. The cable has
already been received. The company
now has ready for use $4,000 feet of
cable and the work of laying it will
begin this week.
Manager N. E. Jordan of the Bar.
tow branch of the company, says that
the automatic will surely be ready for
service by the first OF May, if every
thing goes as conditions now PROM
Use that they will,
There will be special music here
to install the more delicate parts of
the equipment, and some of the Tam
pa force will be sent over for. the
work. 1t is probable that after the
change. women will be employed to
care for the switch room instead df
men as has been the custom under
the present system. Women, it is said,
manage the Tampa room, and it is
considered probable that the new
room here will be turned over to
them. Trouble is indicated by colored
lights, each difficulty appearing in 4
different color 80 that each may be
quickly recognized and remedied
The toll board, Mr.. Jordan thinks,
will probably not arrive until some
time after the automatic equipment
gets here. A new toll board large
enough to accommodate four girls.
has been ordered. 1t is considered the
best board made and should vastly
improve the long distance service.
The board now in use in the office is
practically new. and is Of good make,
but only two girls can work ON it
at the same time and more are
needed. stffa.he
The Offices will be changed from
their present location in the Olliphant
building to the Miller building on
Central avenue. They will occupy the
whole second story OF the building.
Barlow has been looking forward to
installation of the automatic equip
ment for many months. 1t was at first
thought that it would be in operation
by January 1st this year. Delay in the
receiving of the equipment, due to
strikes in the factory and on the rail
roads. prevented the expected serv-
ice at that date.
