WHITE sox FILE PROTEST

Chicago. Aug. 2-The Chicago White
Sox today filed a protest with Presi-
dent Ban Johnson, of the American
League over yesterdays game with the
New York Yankees which was called
on account of rain after 1-3 innings
with the Sox leading to l.
The protest terms the conduct of
the Yankee players a disgrace to the
game, pointing out that they evidently
were stalling when rain appeared like
ly. Scott refused to field ball hit
by Faber and the White Sox pitcher
reached third base at dog trot be-
fore any effort was made to put him
out on a weakly hit ball. Outfielders
threw the ball around to each other
on other hits instead of returning 1t to
the infield and the Yankees used three
pitchers, each change causing a de-
lay.

LAKELAND VOTERS ADOPT THE

GOVERNMENT BY MAJORITY OF II
TEN MEMBERS ESTHONIAN
PREPARATIONS MISSION
ARE SENTENCED TO DEATH

Petrograd, Aug. 2.-(By the Asso.
ciated Press. .)-The revolutionary tri-
bunal has sentenced to death 10 mem
bers and employees Of the Estonian re-
patriation mission after conviction
upon charges of espionage. Eighteen
others, accused of sytematic muggling
of valuables, saccharine and other
goods into Russia, were given prison
sentences, while 13 were acquitted.
The trials lasted a week.
From the moment peace was signed
with Esthonia, the court declared, the
Esthonian reparation mission became
an organization for espionage and for
smuggling. The court has asked the
foreign Office to demand of the Es-
thonian government through diplomat
ic channels the prosecution of higher
officials in the Reval foreign office and
war ministry, who are declared to
have engaged in the plot from the
other end.
Thirty-five Esthonians and Russians
employed as couriers and in other ca
pacities by the Esthonian legation are
to go to trial in Moscow today, charged
with buying and smuggling church
treasures.

RECLUSE HAD $4,000 In
HIS CLOTHES AFTER DEATH
IN PALM BEACH HOSPITAL

West Palm Beach, Aug. 2.-Dying in
local hospital Monday night from
causes said by physicians to have been
attributable to a refusal to eat solid
food, ]. H. Smith, 63, was found to
have more than $4,000 in currency in
his garments when searched by hos
pital attendants for clues to possible
relatives. Smith, who was somewhat
of a recluse, was a familiar figure
about the streets Of the city.
His diet, which he was said to have
had considerable peculiarities about,
had consisted for the past several
months of milk almost exclusively. 1t
is understood that authorities here
had more than once contemplated hav-
ing him examined for symptoms of
insanity, his peculiar actions and hab-
its having induced reflections on his
mental condition.
The body is being held at the Fer
guson undertaking parlOrs pending
funeral arrangements.

FROM INVASION

Constantinople, August 2.-(By the

breathed easier today under the gem
eral conviction that the danger of an
attack on the city by the Greeks had
been averted
The troop movements continued all
last night and today with allied forces
debarking along the Bosphorus and
the Golden Horn. These included
landing parties from the Mediterra-
mean to the number of about 10000
who are massed along the frontier
lines northwest Of the city's walls.
A minor clash occurred in the
neighborhood of Kourfaly, when
Greek cavalry forces advanced too
far into the Turkish lines. Three
were killed and several wounded in
the fight which resulted.
Brigadier General Sir Charles Har-
rington, commander Of the allied
forces, has declined the Sublime
Porte's offer of two divisions of Turk
ish troops in view of the fact that
Turkey is still technically at war
with the allies.
The city has been quiet and orderly

FRANCE IS PLEASED OVER
WAY POINCARE HANDLING
MATTER GERMAN PAYMENTS

Paris, Aug. 2.-(By the Associated
Press. premier Poincare's firm ham
ding of the controversy with the Ger
mans over the payment of private
debts has brought satisfaction here.
Although the question is secondary,
it is regarded as auguring well for
the attitude the Premier will take at
the coming London conference which
will deal with the reparations ques-
tion, inter-allied debts and related is
sues.
The question of what will constitute
the measure OF retortion," mentioned
in the French note to Germany, was
of paramount interest this. morning.
The Germans, according to LIE Jour-
nal, know already that they consist
of the expulsion of so Germans from
Alsace Lorraine and confiscation of
their property in addition to the prop
erty of thousand of the richest per-
sons on the left bank of the Rhine
and the seizure of the cities of Dus-
seldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort.

the revenue of this department With
these things thus attended to and the
city's financial affairs thus placed on
Il sound footing the new board and the
manager can turn their attention more
undoubtedly to doing the improvement
necessary to the growth and develop
ment of Lakeland and they will be
in office in time to arrange for their
own budget and finances for the com
ing year so that they can make such
provisions as they deem expedient for
financing the city's affairs for the
coming year.
And yet with these favorable condi.
tions their task is going to be large
one and they are going to need the
backing of united citizenship and
| therefore wish to again pledge my
support and cooperation and to urge
every one, whether they voted for the
New Charter to give it fair chance
and lend their support and co-opera-
ton to the new officials who will be
elected. For we must remember after
all is said and done the real interest
that every one of us has at heart is
Lakeland. And Lakeland will suffer
if we do not all give her the best
that there is in us.
Hoping that the voters of Lakeland
have chosen wisely in adopting the
new charter and wishing for the new
plan every possible success to the ul-
innate good of Lakeland, | am,
Sincerely yours.

Vote On Tuesday Stood
273 For To 246 OPP
posed To the Change
From the Old Charter
To the Newer Plan
AElection of the Three
Commissioners Will
Take Place September

The new charter as proposed by
the charter board has been adopted
by the people of Lakeland by vote
of 246 against and 273 for, total
of 519 votes having Fbeen cast in
Tuesdays election.
The central idea of the new charter
is the city manager plan and the
experiment will be watched with in
terest not only by Lakeland itself
but also by the many communities
and individuals throughout the coun-
try who are keeping an eye on this
newest form of municipal govern
ment.
The charter is progressive also in
many other points, and there seems
to be a wide spread determination
to make a success of the new order
of things, even among those who did
not favor its adoption.
In accordance with the new charter
the five commissioners, as at pres
ent, will be succeeded by three to be
chosen at an election held September
4th who will hold office three
years, two years, or one year, accord
ing to the numerical rank of their
votes.
These commissioners will hire the
city manager and other details will
be carried out as outlined.
The election of Tuesday was Lake
lands first charter election. previous
charters having been determined by
the state legislature.
Also, this is the city's first expert
ment with what is known as the
nffr TAlnf oil Nnl Off
manager was once employed here the
office was provided for by ordinance
without the other changes comprehend
ed in the plan.
1t Is understood that between two
hundred and three hundred cities in
the country have adopted the plan,
most of them with conspicuous sue
cess, and it is readily seen that Lake
land attains a new prominence by
going on the list of city manager
municipalities, and that wide spread
and desirable publicity will be at
tached to the success that the city
generally is determined to make of
the new plan.
The charter as adopted was drawn
up by a charter board elected March
IA and composed of the following:
Harry L. Brown. afterwards selected
as chairman, J. F. Council. ]. C. Ow-
ems. Chas. 1. Dwiggins, John F. Cox,
B. F. Wilson, o. C. Lanphear, w. w.
Chase, Lynn w. Bloom.
This board held twenty-four meet
ings, reviewing the charters of many
other cities, and carefully drafting
what they believed was best suited
to Lakeland's needs. However, pro-
vision is made for amendments to
the charter, as experience or future
Mevelopements may show the desira-
lity of such amendments.
