WHY THE SENATOR
FAILED TO ATTEND
Pressing Business" Said the
Chairman Of Meeting, But it
Was a Dinner in New York.

Much surprise was felt at tho Re
publican meeting at Els1nere. last Fri
day night, on account OF the absence
of Senator Coleman dupont, who had
been announced as enc Of the speak
ers. The chairman OF the meeting
apologi2ed fer his absence by the vague
statement that he was kept away by
pressing business"
Inst Friday night n dinner was
given TO Brlgadier- General Charles G.
Dawes, famliarly known as Hell and
Maria" by the New York City branch
of the National Budget Committee
General Dawes made n vigorous ad-
dress, in the course of which he called
members CT President Harding cabi-
net 'Comanches." And among those
who sat at the table and enjoyed his
vigorous comments and caustc eX-
pletives was Senator Coleman DUPONT
of Delaware. HIS name appears in the
list of dinner attendants printed in
the New York papers % Saturday.
That was the pressing business
which kept Senator DUPONT away from,
n meeting In his behalf that had been
widely heralded. and at which Secre-
tary of Labor Davis. of President
Harding's cabinet, was the principal
speaker. Republican workers were
much angered at his Indifference, .,

Cruiser Denver Picks Up
Survivors, But Gives
No Detail
COMING INTO KEY WEST
Sampaio Was Making
Trip to Haiti From the
Bahamas
iBy Associated Press)

New York, Aug. 23-The United
States cruiser Denver, which rescued
Lieutenant Walter Hinton and his
companoins from the wrecked sea-
plane Sampaio Correis, is on its way
to Key West, navel officials hire said
oday. The seaplane fell while flying
Nassau Haiti on tn wy from New

1t was reported that a naval tug
was on its way to the damagtd flying
boat and would attempt to tow her
into GuatanamO or some other south
ern port in an effort to salvage the
craft so the flight can be resumed.
The Sampaio Correia left Ne York
or August IT TO make the flight by

COOKE WILL
TELL LOCAL
COMMITTEE
BEST PLANS
Bond Issue Will Then Be
Put Up to Vote of the
Taxpayers
WILL PUSH THE WORK
Probable That Petition
Will Be Presented to
Board Soon

Chief Engineer Cooke, of the Flor
ida State Road Board, will arrive in
Palatka Monday morning to confer
with the committee of local cities
of Putnam county on the proposals
for bond issue to pave certain main
highways through the county and
some less important roads. An
nouncement to this effect was made
by Secretary Hart, of the Chamber
of Commerce, this morning following
receipt of a telegram from State
Chairman Philips.
During his recent visit here Judge
Philips advised that before any final
action was taken by the committee
that it hold a consultation with tht
state engineer, and he promsedi to
have him come here at the earliest
possible moment. Nothing more was
heard from Judge Philips, and Secre-
tary Hart wrote him, ubt this letter
also brought no response, so telt-
gram was sent Tuesday afternoon
asking when Mr.. Cooke could come to
Palatka and reply was received THE
morning announcing that he will be
here Monday.
The coming of the state engineer
will make it possible, no doubt, to
procted at once with plans for calling
a bond election and issuing the ne
cessary amount for the construction
of the roads outlined in the program
already made public. That there
may be some changes in this program
is regarded as likely, and that it may
be necessary to increase the amount
of the bond issue is also likely.
There has been considerable dis
cussion of the adequacy of tht amount
the committee set aside for engineer,
| advertising and legal assistance
$4,000. 1t is claimed by those sup
posed to know that this is about a
fourth or fifth of the amount that
would be needed for this phrase of
the enterprise.
All members of the committee will
be notified in due time of the hour it
is desired to have the committee to-
geather and it is probable that the
meeting will beheld at the court house
where citizens from all over he coun-
ty can attend.

BASEBALL TITLE
FOR STATE WILL
Be DECIDED HERE
Pals Open Series at Pals
Field With State
Champions
STATE IS WATCHING It
Many Believe Independ-
ent Ball Was Faster
Than League

Tomorrow will be staged in Palat-
ka the first baseball game of perhaps
the most important series ever play
ed in the state, championship bat
tie between representative clubs from
organized ball and the championship
club Of independent ball. St. Peters
burg's club, which won both sections
of the Florida State league pennant
race, will come here for three games,
and the Pals will come home tonight
from Ocala prepared to give the
Saints the battle of their lives.
Keen interest is being displayed in
all of the league cities, as we'll as in
those cities which have assembled
highly creditable independent clubs,
as there has been much discussion as
to whether or not the independent
ball clubs were as strong as the
league clubs. While the series here
may not demonstrate that fact to the
satisfaction of some, it will give a
pretty good idea of the relative abil-
ity of the clubs to nit and run.
The game tomorrow afternoon will
be called at o'clock, and it is eX-
pected that a record d-breaking crowd
will be present. as many visitors will
be here from St. Augustine, Jackson
vile, Ocala, Gainesville, Lake City
ard other nearby towns. Efforts are
being made to secure the services of
Jimmy Ryan, former league umpire,
to officiate in the series with Umpire
Clark. This will insure high-class
arbtirg in the series.
Just who will have the honor OF
pitching the first game for the Pals
has not been announced, but Local
fandom is hopeful that Epperson be
sent in. Epp hasn't had much work
lately, and may be wild to start with
but il he mas control in his warmur
there Is l:.,le doubt but that Captain
Robinson will WELD to the fans ano
