THE National Vigilance
Committee of the ASso-

is the guardian of Truth-in-Ad-

Its constant, untiring effort
has resulted in an organization
which is national in its scope

protect those at home, but it
avowedly acts to "Protect Amer
ica's Good Name" abroad.
Through its twenty-eight

National Vigilance Committee
hears complaints of unsustained
claims made by advertisers, of
overStatements as to the merits
of goods, of questionable prac-
tees to force quick sales, of
unfair comparisons, of untruth-

against good business ethics are
approached and asked to CO.

In practically every instance
the fault is acknowledged, and
a promise to adhere strictly to
the truth in text and pictures is
given. If Misrepresentation
continues, however, other meth
ods are invoked to punish the
offender and protect the public.

CORONER'S JURY
HOLDS ALLYN FOR
MURDER OF HICEL
AT SIESTA ISLAND
Circumstantial Evidence Accumu-
lates Against Eccentric Editor
old Grudge Believed to Con-
stitute Motive for Brutal Killing
of Prominent Sarasota Business
Man.

Sarasota, Jan. 8.-After examining
a number of witnesses yesterday a
coroner's jury returned the verdict
that Harry L. Higel came to his death
from wounds inflicted by Rube Allyn.
Details of one of the most brutal
murders in the history of south Flor
ida were brought out.
Higel was found Friday morning
about $3.50 in She road on Siesta Is
land, by Bert Luzier and his son Mer-
rill. He was lying in pool of blood,
unconscious from the effect of wounds
on the head and face which disfigured
him to such an extent that he could
not be identified. He was still breath
ing, and was brought to Sarasota,
where his Identification was made
the aid of ring on his finger with the
letters H. H. on it.
DR.. Hatton was called to his aid,
and started with him on an automo-
bile to Bradentown, where it was in
ISAuSu " LclhO bALO LlclAlA lOA oAlPu'
But it was seen that he could not
stand the trip, and he was taken to
the Manatee county hospital where he
died fifteen minutes later.
An. Investigation was begun by Den
uty sheriffs Z. d. Hodges, and DIR.
Brown. The first impression was that
Higel was the victim of an auto ac-
cident, but this theory collapsed
when the nature of his wounds were
considered. Then suspicion was di-
reeted to a negro with whom Higel
had quarrelled the day before.
But an examination of the scene of
the crime disclosed tracks leading to
and from the home of Rube Allyn. A
piece of iron pipe, covered with blood,
was found near where the body lay.

PARISH HOUSE
FOR ALL SAINTS
SEEMS ASSURED

Imbued with desire to be of in
creased service to the community,
the members of All Saints Episcopal
parish, Lakeland, have practically de-
termined on the erection of a COM
munity parish house as a part of the
church's social service program
Matters were brought to head at
q gathering of the Church Club at
the Elks Hotel on Friday evening at
which there were present about forty
members and visitors. The rector Of
All Saints, Rev. W. B. Curtis, pre-
sided. Informal talks were made by
Charles Hewitt, of Auburndale, Rev.
Trapier Prestiss of Augusta, and Har-
ry Brown of Lakeland while Rev. DR.,
Patlllo, rector of st. Andrews church,
Tampa, distinguished and gifted
speaker, delivered an inspiring ad-
dress in which he emphasized the
great call to service Of men every
where who want to see conditions
throughout the world made better and
happier through Christian service.
The value of the parish house as
center of practical expression Of the
life and usefulness of the parish, was
stressed so emphatically and thor
oughly that there was unanimous con-
sent to the launching of movement
to secure the early erection Of such
a building in Lakeland. No subscrip-
tions were asked for or taken but an
indication was obtained as to what
the men Of All Saints parish would be
willing to do and 1t was found that
a substantial amount was assured,
sufficient to warrant building opera
tions just as soon as a special COM
mittee to be appointed, can attend to
the necessary preliminary details.
The club dinner at the Elks Hotel
was served in Manager Washburn's
best style and was greatly enjoyed.
There are over hundred varieties

Decisive steps were taken toward
the white way" at a meeting of the
Lake Wire and Lake Morton associa-
tions at the City Hall last night.
S. J. Roland. after calling the
meeting to order and stating it's pur-
pose called upon J. E Johnson, su-
perintendent of the Light and Water
plant to make a report on the bids
secured and information obtained rel
ative to the establishment of the pro-
posed line of column lights around
the two lakes.
He said he had invited proposals
and received a number from various
electrical and supply concerns. The
best bid was from local people. 1t
offered post, similar to the one in
front of the City Hall, with light of
the same character, everything COM
plete, for $500 per post. That bid
included the following items:
Post II feet inches high, SIS,
glass for light, $15.3O; plug cut out,
$6; foundation IL inch cube, concrete,
81; wire and incidental expenses, $5.
Total $53 80 ......o-... .-...
He said the total cost per foot for
tie proposed way would be 81 cents.
Lake Morton is 5,13S feet around, and
Wire is 4,005, with a short distance
of street leading to Lake Morton. The
total estimated cost of the material is
therefore $9,44S. The city agrees to
pay all the expenses of labor.
Mr.. Johnson added that consider
able sums had already been pledged
and several hundred dollars in checks
secured. He suggested that secre-
tary-treasurer be named to act for
the two lake associations, and that the
work be consolidated.
After some discussion it was decid-
ed to proceed with the work of COL
lecting money and securing pledges.
Committees were appointed represent
ing the two associations. 1t was
agreed that these committeeman
would act as captains of subordinate
committee, that all contributions be
received with the understanding that
they be applied to the whole white
way proposition, and that a treasurer
be hereafter selected to take charge
o: the funds and pay them out on the
order of Mr.. Johnson. who is to have
complete charge of the work. At this
stage, Lloyd Adams was called to act
as secretary of the meeting, and the
following committeeman were Sc
lecteu. -. ............

JURY JUSTIFIES
OFFICERS ACT

The Coroner's jury this afternoon
at 2 o'clock returned a verdict of JUS
tifiable homicide, in the death of
Adolph Kraft, who died yesterday at
the hospital from a gun-shot wound
at the hands of Deputy Sheriff Hatch
er. The verdict in substance read:
I'VE, the jury, find the deceased,
Adolph Kraft, came to his death at
the hands of Deputy Sheriff N. c.
Hatcher, in the performance of the
duties of the officer"
The coroner's jury went into ses-
sion behind closed doors, as is GUS
tomary in such important cases, at
ten O'Clock, and the evidence was
completed at noon. The hearing of
the witnesses was before Judge ]. D.
Allen, in the city court room.
The witnesses were John Wright,
II. G. Olive, Maynard Wright, N. G.
Hatcher, Edwin Little, Andrew Kraft.
and VIM. Kraft. John Wright and
son Maynard. Depilty heriffs n G.
Hatcher and L C. Olive, were eye
witnesses to the tragedy which result
ed in the death of Adolph Kraft, on
the east side of Parker Lake We'd
nesday about noon.
The evidence introduced before the
coroner's jury was substantially the
same as has been published in the
Evening Telegram.
The Kraft brothers, Andrew and
William, and Ed Little testified
Adolph Kraft left the Little home,
about 11:30 o'clock He was asked to
eat lunch first, but he did not care
for anything at that time. He said
he was going hunting, and maybe he
would at least get rabbit . or a
gopher He left with his gun for the
fields. In his wandering around he
stopped at the home of Mr.. Hender-
son, and drank a cup of coffee. He
told Henderson he was going hunting
and maybe would kill at least rab-
bit or gopher. Mr.. Henderson,. who
not testify, said this morning that in
side of ten minutes he heard a gun
fire, and remarked: Il guess he found
something, as 1 hear his gun" This
proved to be the shot that killed
Kraft.
Evidence this morning seemed to
indicate that Kraft had been here on
ly about two weeks. That he had left
the Little home with the evident in
tention Of going hunting; that he was
not sitting on the stack of liquor that
had just been unloaded from the Sc
dan by the two alleged whiskey run
ners-Sloan and Grant; that he was
a few feet away, and was not going
ip the direction of the liquor. Kraft,
however, did take offense at being
taken into custody by the officers and
drew his gun on John Wright, then
on Deputy Sheriff Olive. In the
struggle that followed Deputy Sheriff
Hatcher declares he had to kill Kraft
for the protection of the others and
himself.
The body of Kraft will be shipped
to his former home at Canton, o.
