The assassination of President Mar

parties and the formation within n few
hours of II new cabinet, through the
efforts of NJ. Rataj, who automatical-
ly became president when Narutowicz
was assassinated, and of General 81

ship, has given the people II feeling of

Mounted Police
Irnpound Cattle
and Guard City

George Lawrence, who has been
police sergeant for year on the city
force, has been made mounted police,
and will have charge Of impounding
stray cattle which may be found in
side the limits of Palatka.
This decision was made tentative
upon the passage by the council or
Tuesday evening of an amendment to
Section 1876 of the city ordinances.
The original section stipulated that
on each head of cattle impounded the
police was to receive so cents as fees;
the amended measure eliminates that
fee.
The new appointee feels confident
that he can handle the estrays and
attend to his other duties as we'll.
For years he rode cattle in many
counties through the central portion
of Florida, and with the new horse
and full trappings which the city
council is to buy for municipal use
Mr.. Lawrence is confident the work
of his office will be carried out in
full.

Interlachen Gravel
Concerns Show a
Generous Spirit

The Interlachen Sand and Gravel
company has offered to present the
Putnam County Fair association ten
carloads of its good gravel, with the
understanding that transportation
charges shall be paid by the associa-
ton. The gravel is greatly needed IN
and around the fair grounds, as well
as little footage of the road lead
ing to the fair grounds. The offer
was mentioned Tuesday evening at
the council meeting, when a bare
quorum was present, and prompt
acceptance followed the reading. The
gravel will probably commence to roll
tomorrow, and then more men will be
needed to hasten the work of getting
the grounds the better for the fair
which will soon open for its splendid
displays.

ROOD" GRAND TOMORROW

"Gypsy Blood" known on the OPP

made into an exceedingly spectacular
and highly artistic film by its leu
tonic producers. Its melodramatic
"punch" is undeniable and once
again the Germans have demonstrat-
ed their ability to shine in the screen
ing of costume plays. The pictures
initial showing at the Strand theater,
New York, drew a closely packed
house and the storm of applause
which greeted the climax stamped it
as a Broadway success. Whether it
would prove as great a box office
asset in all sections of the country
remains to be seen. Unrelieved trag-
edy is apt to be coldly received by
patrons devoted to the conventional
happy ending and it is up to each ex-
hibitor's personal judgment to de-

BUILDING PROGRAM
IN UNITED STATES
EXTREMELY LARGE
Winter Activities Above
Normal, and Still Are
Increasing

Chicago, Nov. 15-More than the
usual amount of winter activity in
building with residential work TAX
ing a prominent part, is indicated in
asurvey of activities made by The
American Contractor, in twenty-sev-
en- states forming the main north
eastern part of the United States.
Valuation of the PA contracts
awarded for the week ending October
2S, reached total of $64, 94S, 400 and
was but slightly lower than the week
ly average for the first nine months
of this record breaking year, says the
publication.
"The volume of contracts awarded
that there is expectation of less let
during the last two weeks of Octo-
Der, which are normally dull, shows
up than usual during the winter per
iod. There are incontrovertible facts
which show that building activity is
in no danger of a slump for months
to come.
Contemplated work reported for
the week ending October % totaled
500, 10000. For the corresponding
week of 1921, this total was only
86,922,O00 and the valuation of
contracts awarded was only $51 ,318,-
600. Yet the fall of 1921 was con-
sidered a good opener for the spring
season of 1922.
"Skilled labor will be scarce next
year as it is now. Indications are
that no reduction will be made in wa
ges of common labor which is all alb
sorbed. Material men are producing
at increased costs. The demand for
labor and materials in the spring
will equal the supply. From such
facts, definite logical conclusion re-
garding future building costs can be
drawn by anyone"

f W COMPLAINTS
ON A5SES SMENTS
HEARD BY BOARD
Millage Will Be Dropped
to One-Half That of
Last Year

At the recessed session of the city
council held last evening the report
of the taxation committee showed
but few complaints regarding the
new assessment plan which has been
inaugurated. Several special cases
of requests for some relief because
of what was termed "too severe in
creases" were referred to the coun-
ell by the committee, consisting Of
E. R. Conway, B. E. Jarrett and W.
A. Walker but the dozen or more
remaining had been settled in conf
mittee meeting.
There were some slight changes
allowed by the board in compliance
with written requests; but the coun-
Gil was we'll pleased that the per-
centage of remonstrants was so
small. In view of the fact that the
millage last year was fixed at Il
the marked decrease to 10 mills will,

Little business was done other
than to adjust the few differences or
assessments. A resolution was
adopted ordering that the Porter lot,
upon which considerable water re-
mains following a severe rain, must
be filled to the level OF the street,
and the owner has been notified to
that effect.
The council felt it was beyond its
jurisdiction to enact an ordinance
pledging annually an appropriate of
$1,000 to the Putam County Fair As
sociation. The body is to make a
donation of that amount for this
year-and the budget will carry that
appropriation; but for the years fol-
lowing each governing body must
determine the amount of assistance

PALA7KAN,
{. WADE PACE Is
AFTER PUBLICITY
Claims Considerable Sum
AS Beneficiary Named
in Will

The people of Palatka we'll remem-
Der C. Wade Page, who suddenly APP
peared in the city several years ago,
and continued his residence in Palat-
'ka for a period. He posed as an eX-
pert in repairing eyes, noses, ears,
and matters of that sort, and con-
sented when pressed to look after
the removal of corn, both hard and
soft, and other minor details.
He was ever alert and always de-
termined to capture any stray dollar
poi1ting in his direction, and he had
most satisfactory method of pre-
serving them intact when once they
reached his purse. Medical author
tiles pronounced him as a wanderer
far from the realms of truth. Ru-
mors regarding his actions in han
ding medical certificates had good
basis for circulation, and the medical
college from which he claimed to
have graduated reported that no
such man was ever on their rosters.
He seemed never to resent any Of
the charges made-nor did he de-
mand proof of their correctness. He
WAS illiterate-his penmanship be-
ang almost undecypherable: once
seen it was rarely forgotten. And
yet it was asserted that he could fix
up a fine certificate to give undou-
btad proof that the person named
therein was a graduate good and
true of whatever college the buyer
might select. He made good, finan-
cialIy, al that work; possibly he net
ted in that way more than in any
other.
From Palatka he went to Tampa,
and but little was heard Of him ex-
cept by an occasional postcard. Now
he has shown up at West Palm
Beach, where he is trying to make
title to $4,000 which he claims was
b9queathed and devised to him by
one hudson H. Smith. Smith starry
ed himself to death in that county
seat. After his death there was
found money to the amount named
and there We're numerous attempts
by many people to establish some
kne of theory which might yield
them the sum found upon Smith. All
efforts were unsuccessful.
The matter has been in the courts
at West Palm Beach. One J. w
Sheriff., of Tampa, whore Page has
been residing, sought to probate a
will written upon a single sheet OF
paper, claimed to be the only and
original document, in which the en-
tire fortune of the decedent was be-
