One Yegg Kept Lookout
While Second Worked
on the Safe
MADE A BUNGL|NG JOB
One Plunger Held and
Burglars Missed Get
ting Large Sum

Yeggmen, members of the gang OPP
Grating in Jacksonville recently it is
believed, made an attempt to rob the
safe in the office of Cu1rie & johnson
last night on Twelfth street. They
barely missed getting large sum,
between eight and nine thousand dol
lars Mr.. johnson said, when a lower
plunger refused to drop out of its
soicket and held tine door firmly in
place until Mr.. johnson went down
this morning.
The fact that the operation on the
safe at Currie & Johnson's was sinli-
lar to that which has been performed
on safes in Jacksonville leads to the
belief that the yeggmen are travel
ing south and stopped off at Palatka
to see what they could pick up.
The intruders gained entrance to
the big warehouse of the wholesale
concern by prizing off sheet of the
corrugated iron in the rear, and pro-
ceeded to the office. A chair was
drawn UP to the glass front of the Of
fee where one of the men is supposed
to have placed himself as lookout
while his pal or pals worked on the
safe. A
The handle which turns the tum-
blers out Of their sockets was first
twisted off, and the holding bolt driv-
en- to the inside of the safe. Then all
of the plungers except one were sha-
ken from their sockets, the last one
holding tight, and prevented a rob-
berry.
Too Some Chewing Gum.
Failing to get the safe open the rob-
bers took some cigars and showing
gum and left, leaving behind them
tools stolen from a nearby blacksmith
shop, and from the carpenters boxes
at the rear where big warehouse is
being erected by the Merryday Gro
Gerry Co.
When Mr.. johnson came down this
morning he found the front door pen,
indicatig that the robbers had left the
place by the frot way. He thought
Mr.. Currie was in the building, but
when he called no one answered and he
began to look about finding that the
safe had been tampered with. Police
were notified, but to late hour this
afternoon had not secured clew.

Locates Here Because
Distribution Is Most
Convenient
WILL MADE BUTTER TOO
Means Development of a
Big Dairying Industry
Here

After carefully analyzing the ad-
vantages of all cities in the state A.
E. Drew and his associates have de-
cided to locate in Palatkt with an ice
cream manufacturing plant to man.
ufacture ice cream for the entire
state, and with the ultimate devel-
opment of a big creamery here. Mr..
Drew has already made arrange
ments for the establishment of a
temporary factory at No. 707 Lem
on street and expects to be ready for
business just as soon as the two car
loads of machinery he has is installed.
Accompanying Mr. Drew is W. M.
Enos, also an experienced ice cream
man, who will have charge of the
sales department. He will travel
this territory and cover the local
trade.
The new firm will be known as the
Palatka Ice Cream company, and is
Incorporated. The plant will have a
capacity of 500 gallons of ice cream
per day, two carloads of machinery,
all new, having arrived and is being
installed. Nothing but the very lat
est machinery will be used, and Mr..
Drew believes that there is big fu-
ture for a concern of this kind locat-
ed in a city like Palatka with such
splendid railroad connections for dis
tributing his products.
AS soon as the ice cream business
i swell established he will erect his
own building, Mr.. Drew says, and be-
gin the manufacture of butter. He
comes to Palatka from Rome, Ca,
where he built his business from s.
900 gallons per year to $4,000 gal
Ions in a very short time. He also
had great success in the manufacture
of butter, in which he says, there is
great future in the south. He will
use alf of the milk and cream he can
get locally, but will be forced, until
production here increases, to import
some of his sweet cream from Geor-
gia.

|DR. PARKER WILL.
NOT Be CANDIDATE.
FOR A B|SHOPR|C.
Balloting Is Resumed at
Hot Springs, Ark,
Today
3 NAMES STAND OUT.
Delegates Still Vote for
Parker, Believing He'll
Accept


Hot Springs, Ark, May 16.-Bal-
loting began today at the general
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, south, for the election of
five bishops.
Virtual withdrawal of DR.. Frank
lin N. Parker, of Atlanta, Ga, as one
of those to be ballotted upon was
announced in a statement by DR..
Parker, who asked that his friends
refrain from voting for him, saying
he wished to continue in educational
work. DR.. Parker was elected bish-
op at the general conference at At
lanta four years ago, but declined be-
cause he did not care to leave the ed
ucational field.
The elections attracted wide inter-
est among the delegates and every
seat was filled long before the hour
for calling the conference to order.
In addition there was one of the larg-
est galleries of visitors that has at
tended the sessions thus far.
As the voting began three names
stood out prominently from among
the large number mentioned in con-
nection with the offices. They were
those of DR.. Parker, DR.. Sam R. Hay,
of Houston, Texas, and DR.. j. E..
Dickey, of Griffin, Ga.
DR.. Parker did not say whether he,
would accept if elected to the offices
in spite of his request and there was
much conjecture as to whether his
name would go through on the early
ballots as his friends contended
would be the case.
Hold Two Sessions.
For the first time since the confer
ence began delegates were under In
structions to report for two sessions,
one this forenoon and the other this
afternoon. If the Episcopal elections
prove lengthy, officials said, they are
prepared to urge that the conference
hold evening sessions in order that
final adjournment may be reached by
the latter part of the week.
Slightly tighter restrictions IN re-
gard to performing the marriage
rites for divorced persons are IN
cluded in the report of the commit
tee on TEMPERANCE and social service,
members of the committee said to-
day.
The report, committeeman declar-
ed, condemns what is regarded as an
abnormal and unwarranted increase
in the amount of divorce and specl-
fies among other things that before
officiating at a wedding where one
of the parties is divorced the minis
fer shall have obtained written
statement as to the reason for the
decree.
The church, it was stated, will con-
tinue to recognize only one ground
for -"unfaithfulness on the
mart of either husband or wite"-and
no minister may perform the cere-
mony where either of the contract
ing parties has been divorced for any
other cause.
