1t was all threshed out in a suit
brought by Miss Day against the
Fountain of Youth company, in which
she claimed that control of the prop
erty, which embraced other things
historical, such as Spanish antiques,
had been wrested from her through
the organization of what she thought
was to be trust to operate for the
benefit of disabled soldiers.
The divorce papers of 1919 were
brought into the hearing of the suit
and acted in most finicky manner
First, the defense wanted to know
just what Miss Day could show as
authority for bringing the suit under
the name of Lyonella M. Day. The
plaintiff had on hand the final di-
vorce decree, but the defense insist
ed that the full divorce proceedings
were necessary to prove her single

Gilchrist Thinks
Victory Is just
Round the Corner

Jacksonville, May Ex-Governor
Albert w. Gilchrist, candidate for
the democratic nomination for Unit
ed States senator, is spending prac-
tically all of his time in the field,
visiting the various sections Of Flor
fda.
He arrived in Jacksonville last
Sunday morning after a tour Of parts
of the western peninsular and central
Florida, and along the east coast to
Miami and return. Wherever he Wis
tied he met with enthusiastic recep-
tions and assurances of strong sup
port. For nearly two weeks he made
an intensive campaign and upon his
return here expressed utmost conf
dence in victory at the polls June 6,
next.
After comforting with his cam
paign manager, Eli Futch, Governor
Gilchrist early Monday morning
"took to the woods" as he expressed
it, and will continue his campaign,
right up to June 5, when he will re-
turn to his home at Punta Gorda and
receive the election returns.
Governor Gilchrist declared he was
certain of Duval county by 2-to-1
vote; Hillsboro by good majority
and the counties of Dade, Palm
Beach, Marion, Alachua, Dixie, Brow
ard and st. Lucie. He also expects
to carry majority of the counties
from Pensacola to Jacksonville and
east coast counties from Nassau to
Monroe.

tidentity. 1t was necessary to hold
nm the hearing a day while all the
papers were sent from Jacksonville.
When they arrived Circuit Judge
Gibbs told the plaintiffs attorneys
that he would declare the papers in
valid because a provision in them to
cover the address of Miss Days for
mer husband was Illegal.
The provision read that the "ad-
dress" of the husband was unknown,
whereas it should have read, it was
ruled, that his "place Of residence
was unknown
Then as the case continued, it be-
came necessary for the defense to
show that Miss Day was a single
woman in 1919 and had the authority
to deed the property to the Fountain
of Youth company.
That was very easy to prove, how
