Washington, May PA picture OF
steadily reviving business throughout
the country is drawn by Secretary
Davis today on reports on employment
conditions to the department of La
Dor. The reports indicate that unem-
ployment was been practically elm
mated in New York State. The secre.
tary said it has been reduced more
than so per cent in the past three
months in Pennsylvania while "swan
song business depression has given
way to a cheerful note of improved in
dustrial activity" in Minnesota Wis
consin, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Kan
sas and Missouri.
There is "unmistakable evidence of
improved industrial conditions pre-
vailing on the Pacific coast, Mr.. Davis
said. while in the South reports show
steady improvement in Georgia, Ten.
nessee and Alabama and that practi-
cally no unemployment now exists in
North Carolina.

AUTO STOPPED AT EDGE
OF AN OPEN DRAWBRIDGE

For Myers Nav 25-J F. FOyw0"-
thy, popular cashier of the Bank of
Fort Myers, and his daughter, Miss
Catherine FoXworthy, prominent mem
Der of the younger set, had very
narrow escape Monday evening while
driving to Crescent Beach in their Co
lumbia touring car. The drawbridgc
at Matanzas Pass was open and they
came very near plunging into the deer
water when their machine headed to-
ward the Beach. 1t was with great
difficulty brought to a stop few
inches from the opening.
The brake rods on the car were
loose and refused to respond satisfac-
torily when they were applied and II
! was only through the skill and COM
posure of Miss Foxworthy, who was al
the wheel, that she was able to bring
the car to a stop less than a foot from
the opening of the drawbridge.
The nerve-racking experience ol
Miss Foxworthy and her father was
witnessed by a number of excited per-
sons, who were powerless at the time
to offer assistance.

MOTION FOR NEW
TRIAL REFUSED
IN HUXLEY CASE

Orlando, May 25.-Tha motion of
counsel for DIR. Lincoln b. Hulley for

stated that they would file an appeal
with the supreme court. The filing
of the appeal must be made within
ninety days.
Action by the supreme court on the
decision of the lower court may be
delayed indefinitely, according to
those familiar with the courts pro-
cedure. A year would be considered
quick action.
The supreme court has the juris-
diction to either sustain the lower
courts decision. reduce the amount of
damages or send the case back for a
re-trial
In her fight before the bar of the
seventeenth judicial circuit court,
Miss Hunt charged DR.. Hulley with
malicious and illegal expulsion from
Stetson University in 1907. In 1911
she was awarded $4,000 against DR..
Hulley for slander in Volusia county,
but the Florida supreme court set
aside this verdict.
The verdict of the Orange county
jury awarding Miss Hunt $4,000
damages was brought in late Satur-
day afternoon. 1t came as the cul-
mination of a heated trial lasting five
days, a trial which has attracted
statewide attention owing to the prom
inence of the PRINCIPALS.

London, May 25.-Prime Minister
Lloyd George was prepared today to
open the debate in the House o,

EULOGY OF BRAZIL PROVED
TOO MUCH GERMAN CONSUL

st. Louis, May 25.-Dr. Hugo Mund
German consul here, left the luncheon
hall after F. Ernst Kremer, chairman
of the foreign trade committee Of
the st. Louis chamber of commerce,
referred to the allegiance of Brazil
to the United States in the world
war at a luncheon given yesterday
by the bureau, the League Of Women

Mr.. Kremer later said he meant
his remarks as a compliment to the
brazilian representative who includ-
ed DR.. Sebastian Sampaio, CONNER

ington, present, and not as an affront
to the German consul.
"Any country that was an enemy
of the United States, was also an enc

DR.. Mund said he realized Mr.. Kre-
mer made merely a slip of the ton
bue, but that he did not want to re.
main as he would have felt very un-
comfortable.

INTERNATIONAL
BANKERS WORK
ON LOAN PLAN

Paris, May 25.-The second day of
the International Bankers Conference
finds the situation less assuring, for,
according to Berlin advices, Germany
is likely to reject Finance Minister
Hermes' proposals for balancing the
budget, which the reparation commits
sion found acceptable. Such step
would considerably add to the already
monumental task before the bankers,
that of Strengthening out the Euro
pean financial tangle in which the Ger
man situation forms one of the most
obstinate knots.
Even if Hermes' proposals are ap-
proved in Berlin, todays newspapers
point out, the bankers will not per-
haps be satisfied with the guarantees
the reparations commission deems
adequate. J. p. Morgan, who admit
tedly dominates, will not be Influenced
by sentimental or diplomatic princi-
pies, it is said. He will require tan
gible securities which can be con-
trolled.
The point to be settled is the
amount of the loan to Germany
which is necessary to any real settle
ment.
This, according to the Journal, falls
within the special province of Mr..
Morgan, Sir Kinderslee, the British
delegate, and the representative from
Holland. These will have the right to
say to what extent Germany will par
ticipate if she is to get part of the
loan to reorganize her interests. She
will be required to invest, however,
in some foreign currency.
AS to the rate of interest, the
French maintain that it shall be fixed
as low as possible so that this charge
will not be too heavy burden on the
Germans and thus give them an op-
portunity to say they have nothing left
with which to pay their war repara-
| tions.
While the bankers are deliberating
in Paris the allied governments have
received a plan for international loans
applicable to reparations. the author
of which, according to the newspaper
| POeuvre, is Frank A. Vanderlip of
New York. The scheme is understood
to have had a favorable reception and
probably will be submitted to the
bankers committee.

AMERICAN DAISY AND NOT
THE POPPY LEGION FLOWER

Indianapolis, Ind, May 25.-The lit
tie white daisy of the American Le-
gion is not even a thirty-second cous-
in of the English daisy of poetic ira
dition, writes Walter Pritchard Eaton
author in an article for the Legion,
announced by national headquarters
of the organization.
The American daisy was adopted
by the Legion as it's official flower
after three years of discussion.
The poppy of Flanders. household
word throughout America, was the
first choice. They say these poppies
grow in fields where blood is shed.
They flourish in the English wheat
fields about Hastings where William
the Conqueror beat Harold of Eng.
land nine hundred years ago in the
last conquest of England. They COW
er the countryside in Flanders, where
the English suffered their severest
losses during the world war. There
was no more than the merest scat
tering of poppies in the Argonne and
about ST Mihiel, where the Ameri-
mans were.
Moreover this poppy is not ma
tive of America. After its adoption
by the Legion it was brought into
the country in considerable quantity
and then some experts put out the
information that it was likely to
spread so fast as to become a pest
The harassed American farmer came
forward at once with a protest, an
nouncing to all the world that he al
ready had troubles aplenty without
raising wheat for falling market, les
alone poppies.
Therefore the Legion in it's third
national convention last fall chose
the American daisy for its emblem.
The choice has met yith wide appro-
val. 1t is a perennial and thrives ur-
der almost any conditions. Children
and top sergeants love it. In quaint.
ty, 1t affords a glorious mass Of live
ly beauty that cheers the heart.
Meanwhile the poppy Of more SOM
bre memories has by no means been
forgotten. 1t has been adopted by
the American Legion Auxiliary as the
memorial flower of the world war.
The crimson of sacrifice that stains
its petals will serve as long re.
minder Of the struggle and the vic
tory.

NO MORE LIGHT
HAS BEEN SHED
In PETERS CASE

White Plains, N. Y, May 25.-Coun-
sci representing Walter S. Ward, mil
lionaire bakers son, who claims to
have shot Clarence Peters in self
defense near the Kensico rerervoir
nearly two weeks ago, today turned
over to Sheriff George L. Werner two
pistols which were alleged to have
figured in the story told by Ward of
a battle between him and a band of
blackmailers.
Sitting the Evidence
White Plains, N. j., May 25.-In-
vestigators today continued to delve
beneath the story of Walter S. Ward,
wealthy baking company official who
has declared he shot and killed Clar
ence Peters, former navy man, in a
light growing out of a blackmail plot.
Latest developments have aroused
the question as to how long Ward
had been acquainted with Peters be-
fore the killing.
The Peters family in Haverhill,
Mass, claims to have a post card
from young Peters from South Caro-
lima dated early in May. Peters was
rejected by the marine corps May IL,
according to government reports AL
lowing for the shortest possible time
Peters could not have reached New
York before May 13, and he went on
his death ride on the night of May
Is. The blackmail plot had been go
ing on for six weeks, according to
Wards story.
The statement of police from sur
rounding towns that Peters was seen
on Ward Baking Company trucks sew
eral times before his death was made
known to the authorities here and
would indicate that Peters was in
Wards vicinity for some time before
the killing occurred.
Investigators appointed by the Pc
ters family have notified the authori-
ties here that they are trying to run
to earth the reports that Ward may
have known Peters in Boston. which
would date the acquaintanceship back
to the time the dead sailor tried to
enlist in the marines. Sheriff George
Warner says he has the gun used by
Ward.
II can produce Wards gun when il
is needed" said the sheriff, "and il
lwill show that more than one shot
was fired"
"How about Peters gum he was
asked.
II cant say anything about that,
he replied.
Although the sheriff says he does
not hold the discharged shells from
the eight bullets said to have beer
fred in the fight near the KensicC
reservoir, he is sure they are in safe
custody and will be produced wher
necessary.
State police found only one neal
the scene OF the gun fight recountet
by Ward. The sheriff also displayed
the garments found on Peters ant

vest and shirt In front and passed
