lRx Associated Pressl

Tallahassee, March 18.-All Talla-
hassee is saddened today by the trag-
ic ending of the life of Miss Emma
E. Boyd, leading voice teacher at the
Florida State College for Women,
yesterday afternoon at an old Indian
mound on the Whitfield place near
here. Miss Boyd was suffocated to
death when the soft earth walls of a
trench in which she was making in
vestigations caved in and covered
her with earth. She was suffocated
before the earth could be removed.
The body was brought to Tallahas-
see and is being prepared for ship
ment to her former home in Iowa.
The accident was witnessed by
two other ladies of Tallahassee and
several negro workmen who were
making the excavations. The ladies
had been interested for some time in
the old mounds, and went out to ex.
plore deep trench which had beer
dug across this particular one. Wher
the earth started falling those neal
shouted to Miss Boyd, but it was toe
late. One of her companions was
also badly injured, the other escap
ing unhurt.

charming and lovable young ladies
ever connected with the faculty al

nected with the college for fou1
years, during which time she has
endeared herself not only to the col
lege colony, but to Tallahasseeans
who have frequently had the privi
lege of meeting her and hearing hel
beautiful voice. She recently gave {

Found in Waters
CBy Associatea Pressl

st. Augustine, March 18.-The
bodies of G. w. Foster, local cigar
manufacturer, and Joseph Ortagus,
local store keeper, who plunged to
their death through the open draw
gap of the South Beach bridge in
Ford coupe at 1890 o'clock a. m. last
Saturday, were found by a searching

en- aboard, it was decided to search
further down the river and the body
of Foster was discovered high up on
the marsh at the edge of the chan

RENO LOSES ITS LURE
FOR RICH NEW WORKERS
SEEKING FOR DIVORCE
(By Associated Preasl

New York, March 18.-The adage
MARRY in haste and repent at lei
sure" has teeth put in it by de-
cision of the appellate division of the
supreme court which, it is said, will
prevent New Workers, wishing to rid
themselves of matrimonial ties, 60
ing to Reno, New, and other places
to obtain legal relief.
The decision makes permanent an
injunction granted by Supreme Court
Justice Donnelly last July restrain
ing Archibald B. Gwathmey, a New
York broker, from prosecuting an &C.
tion started in Florida to obtain a di-
vorce from Isabelle C. Gwathmey
The appellate decision, rendered by
unanimous vote, holds that Gwath-
mey's change of residence was a
fraud upon his wife's matrimonial
rights, as they were married in New
York and had their legal residence
here.
The decision is interpreted to mean
that persons married in New York
state or maintaining their matrimo.
NAL residence here cannot go outside
the state and set up residence that
will be recognized as legal.
"This decision sounds the death
knell for fake divorces" said Ed
mund L. Mooney, counsel for Mr.
Gwathmey, when apprised of the
courts findings. at also goes long
way toward solving national situa'
ton which has given much agitation
for national divorce law. Anyone
may go into the supreme court OF
New York now, whenever an actor
is started against him or her in an
other state, and get an injunction"
Mr.. Mooney contended, in defend
ing the suit against his client, thai
Gwathmey was a resident of New
York, but fraudulently stated he was
a resident of Florida.
In previous divorce suits filed II
other states against New Workers
with one exception, the person suec
had permitted the action to go by
default If it were desired later tf
reopen the case, the decree had peer
attacked on the ground that the cour'
granting it had no jurisdiction.
Mrs. Gwathmey, however, attack
cd her husbands action on the grounc
that she was allowed only $500 {
year from property given her by hel
husband and that she could not al
ford to go to Florida and resist th'
suit.
She also claimed that her HUSBAND
wanted her to go to Reno and al
vorce him. She promised, she salo
in her petition, not to contest the &C
tion, and to reward her Handsomely
but she refused to consider it, sh'
averred.

Shipping of spring potatoes out of
the Hastings section began yester-
day when about sixty barrels went
forward from Federal Point. They
were consigned by R. G. Gray, Mr..
Hubbard and Mr.. Atkinson. The
price received for these will not be
known until returns are received
from the brokers. 1t is expected,
however, that the price will open up
as high as $12, as Bermudas are SELL

Hastings is beginning to take on
a hustling air, which always pre-
cedes the opening of the potato sea-
son. State Organizer ]. Reed Curry,
of the Florida Citrus exchange, ar
rived in Palatka yesterday, accom-
panied by Samuel George, former
manager of the office at astings, and
|R. .Kepler. Mr.. Curry said that
the offices at Hastings will be open
ed Monday and will be under the di-
rect management of the Volusia
County Citrus exchange, of which
R. j. Kepler is manager. He will be
in full charge at Hastings.
"Our operations at Hastings and
in the potato belt last year seems to
have given very satisfactory returns
to the growers and we have had nu-
merous letters and inquiries as to
whether our office would be opened
this season." said Mr.. Curry. "There
has already been large acreages
signed up with our office and by such
substantial growers in your commu-
nifty as H. 0. Hamm and Thos. M
Waldron, men who have always prof,
tied by using the exchange. The
deal will be big one this year ano
there is greater need for proper
distribution, the secret of getting
profits for the growers, and we think
the exchange has the facilities TO,
bringing that success to the grow
ers."

DEMOCRATIC CALL
in ERROR; BASED.
ON 1920 RETURNS
Discovery Made Today
That Some Wards En-
titled to More
81 DELEGATES NEEDED
Another Meeting of the
Committee to Be Held
Tonight

1t was discovered this morning
that the Palatka democratic execu-
tive committee made an error when
it issued a call for the democratic
primary for Monday night, basing
its computation of delegates to the
mayoralty convention on votes cast
at the 1920 balloting instead of 1921.
This makes considerable difference
in some of the wards.
When the error was pointed out
to Chairman Rowton by The News
he at once hastened to Supervisor of
Registration Peterman's office to
verify the figures furnished him, and
Immediately made plans for correct
ing them. AS usual the committee
decided that one delegate to every
ten votes cast, or fractions of three,
would entitle ward to delegate to
the convention. Under this ruling
the following number of delegates,
with the polling places at which they
will be selected, and the number of
aldermen to be chosen, will be nomi-
tnaed: ..,
Ward 1-One alderman, nine dele
gates, Gays warehouse.
Ward 2-One alderman, three del
egates, Pounds store. na.s,.
Ward 3-One alderman, two dele
gates, Gums Auto Show rooms.
Ward 4-One alderman, six dele
gates, city hall.
Ward 5-One alderman, five dele
gates, courthouse.
Ward 6-One alderman, three del
egates, Merwin's garage.
Ward 7-One alderman, threee del
egates, Buick garage.
Ward 7-One alderman, three del
egates, Merwin's store.
Ward 9-One alderman, three
delegates, Coburn's store.
Under the call of the committee
there would be only 30 delegates in
the mayors convention, but under
the reapportionment there will be 81
the largest number that has ever
nominated mayor in Palatka.
Murphy Quits Race.
The only development in the race
for mayor today was the retirement
of ]. ]. Murphy, who has been enthu-
siastically supported by his friends
during the last few days. Mr.. Muir
ply said that his duties as secretary
of the Country club was as much as
any man could hope to accomplish in
twenty-four hours of each day. 81
appreciate the unsolicited interest
nv friends have taken in me-" said
Mr.. Murphy, "but 1 feel that l could
not do the office justice, even if elect
ed. / am willing to serve in any ca
pacity at any time that will help Pa
latka, if such service can be turned
to good account, but do not believe
that such service should be at the
cost of excluding men so much better
qualified than l.
The News was in error yesterday
when it said that Alderman Mullis
term expires in the eighth ward. The
records show that Alderman Porter
was elected for the short term, and
the vacancy caused by the expira-
ton of his term will have to be filled
A development in the aldermanic
situation today was the announcement
of Jake Payne that he expects to be
candidate for alderman from the
Seventh ward in opposition to Sam
Pincus. Thus far these are the only
two names mentioned for the office
made vacant by the expiration of al
derman Dineen's term.
