CITY PRIMARY TO
Be HELD MONDAY,
MARCH TWENTIETH
Mayors Convention Is
Set for Following
Friday
ALL WOMEN OFFICIALS
Clerks and Inspector
Chosen From Among
Female Voters

Palatka's municipal democratic
primary to select candidates for al
dermen from nine wards and dele
gates to the mayors convention,
which will be held on March "a. The
committee also fixed the polling
places, as formerly, the number of
delegates to be selected from each
ward and other matters of detail of
the primary, which will be held at
o'clock at night. The mayors con-
vention will also be held at O'Clock
at the city hall on the following
Thursday night.
A feature of the election this year,
as indicated by Mayor Fearnside's
proclamation, is the appointment of
women as election officials through
out. Every precinct will be manned
by women, and if there is any funny
business the perpetrators may be
sure that they will lat least get a
tongue lashing. The idea of putting
the women on as election officials
occurred to Mayor Fearnsdie and he
passed it nto Supervisor of Regis
tration Petermann. Mr.. Petermann
was evidently glad of the suggestion,
for he went ahead and selected the
entire personnel of these officials
from among the ladies. He called
each one of them over the phone and
they agreed to serve. The list will
be found in Mayor Fearnside's proc
lamation.
There was some argument in the
committee as to the nomination of
one or two men from the seventh
ward. Both Aldermen johnson and
Dineen have moved out of the ward.
Alderman Dineens term expires and
he is not going to offer for his seat
again. Alderman johnson is the
hold-over, and is out of town. City
Attorney Merryday's decision was
that Mr.. johnson could hold over le-
gally if he insisted. Mr.. johnson
stated some time ago, however, that
he would resign if the people in the
seventh desired him to do so. 1t is
believed that he will give up his seat
to permit of a representative being
elected in his place from among those
who reside in the ward.

Hughes Writes a
Letter on Peace
Treaty Probity

Washington, March 11-Secretary
Hughes has written letter to Sena-
tor Underwood relative to the four
power Pacific peace treaty, the state
department announced today.
Mr.. Hughes, in his letter, took oc-
casion to characterize intimations that
the American delegates were induced
to accept some plan cunningly con-
trived by others opposed to the Am
erica interests as Every poor and err
roneous conceptions of the work in
connection with the conference"
Mr.. Hughes added that the ameni-
ties of international intercourse pre-
cluded the revealing of confidential
and informal negotiations, but assur-
ed the senate that the full disclosure
of everything said or done would re-
veal nothing derogatory to the part
taken by the American delegates.

ST. LOUIS OFFICIAL
SAYS.H|GH SCHOOLS
ARE FULL OF VICE
tBy Associated Press)

st. Louis, March 11.-Victor j.
Miller, president of the board of po-
lice commissioners, was prepared to
appear at a special meeting of the
board of education here this after
noon to submit proof of his charges
that vice exists in Soldan High
school, many students Of which are
children of wealthy West End resi-
dents.
The special meeting was called
yesterday after publication of Mr.
Miller's charges that he had evidence
that girl students of this school had
formed secret organization which
required of all applicants for men,
bership that they must have violated
the moral code. A similar organiza-
ton existed for boys, MIR. Miller
charged in his statement, which was
made at community meeting.
Mr.. Miller said he had received a
number of telephone messages and
written communications which had
convinced him that his Statement
was not strong enough"
Members of the school board and
heads of all high schools have de-
manded that Mr., Miller bring before
them all facts on which he based his
charges. These officials were unani-
nous in their criticism of Mr.. Mill
er's failure to have brought this mat
ter to their attention before making
his charges at an open meeting.
Governor A. M. Hyde, a strong
advocate of bettering Missouri's ed
ucational system, has communicated
with Mr.. Miller by long-distance tel
ephone, but the conversation was not
divulged. Governor Hyde issued a
statement at jefferson City last
night in which he approved of the de-
mand of the school board for sub
sanitation of the charges. The gov
ernor is expected to reach the city
tomorrow to discuss the matter with
Mr.. Miller and members of the board
of education.

FRENCH PRESS PEEvED
At UNCLE SAM FOR A
DEMAND FOR HIS PAY

Paris, March 1.-THE demand by
the United States for reimbursement
to the extent of $241, 100000 for the
expenses of its forces in the Rhine
land before any reparations are paid
has provoked surprise and perplexity
in French official circles. There is
also som epointed comment in sever
al morning newspapers.
A French semi-official says that
the American claim comes exactly at
the moment when the accord based
on the Cannes project was about to
be realized, and that it tends to de-
stroy the whole system of repara-
tions so laboriously elaborated by
the allied experts.
The Echo de Peris declares it is
undoubtedly too late to give the
United States it's share of the one
billion gold marks paid by Germany
on August 30, last, as Belgium and
England already have received their
allotments. The allies certainly cam
not refuse to give the United States
it's due, the newspaper adds, but
"this question must be determined
of what utility is an American army
on the Rhine if it isn't in political
cooperation with the allied govern
ments ?"
The MatSni thinks the American
demand creates a paradoxical situa-
tion in law, because the United
States is at the same time response
BILE to and independent of the allies
responsible in its claims, and indie.
pendent in its politics regarding Ger
many, with which it has a separate
treaty" The newspaper declares
that if the United States persists in
this claim the Belgian priority and
the sums the French government ex-
poets are appreciably discounted.

but would only tell his own attorneys

MEN DROWN WHEN
CAR MISSES DRAW
Were Returning From a
Trip to Beach Early

BODIES NOT RECOVERED
Efforts to Raise the Car

Noon
BODIES NOT RECOVERED
tBy AssocIatea Pressy

I
st. Augustine, March 1.-THE bod
les of Godfrey Foster, local cigar
manufacturer and Joseph Ortagus, q
local merchant, are believed to have
been in a small closed car which
plunged into thirty feet of water
when they ran through the open draw
on the bridge between ST.. Augustine
and Anastasia Island at 2 o'clock this
morning. 1t was at first thought
that two young women were with
them at the time, but those who were
with them at the lbeac said that they
left there alone.
Foster and Ortagus left the beach
shortly after midnight for st. Angus
tine. The draw was opened, just be-
fore they got to the bridge, to permit
a small boat to go through. The
bridge tender said that the first thing
he knew was when he heard splash
and saw te car sinking.
Attempts to raise the car have thus
far proven fruitless. Rescuers had
the machine nearly to the surface at
one time when the top came off and
it sank again. Divers arrived from
Jacksonville at II O'Clock and it is
believed that the bodies will be re-
covered in the car.
