| Florida at Present and What l See
in Its Future" was the subject which
gave l.. M. Rhodes, head of the State
Marketing Bureau opportunity at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting last
night to reveal to many who have
lived in blissful ignorance in Florida
all their lives just what this state now
affords and what it promises. Few
men in the state are qualified as Mr..
Rhodes is, to speak Of the states pro-
duets and potential possibilities.
Few in the state knew, perhaps,
bhat in a9a0-24 Florida led all states
in the union, the total amount being
rs per cent of all new structural work
in the union. This was one of the
vital facts Mr.. Rhodes stated. Here
is his speech in full, read it, for every
Floridiah should know how to boost
and the facts are marshalled here in
uncompromising array:
For nearly four centuries orators
have told, writers penned, poets
wrote, and songsters sung the mar
velous story of Florida.
But the story is not finished. In
fact, the half has never been told.
And if all the water in Florida was
ink, all the trees were pens, and ev-
cry living creature in the state was
a penmap, doubt if they could write
in its fullness the wonderful story
and possibilities of Florida, the
queen of commonwealths, natures
masterpiece, and mans opportunity
in lifetime.
So I do not hope with my limita-'
lions to do semblance of justice to
the subject in a few moments.

Lew Brody Dies
From Effect of
Blow by Pitcehr
(By Associated Pressl

New York, April 25.-Lew Brody,
a lightweight pugilist, died in a
Brooklyn hospital early today after a
knockout at the hands of frankie
Pitcher, another boxer whom he met
in the ring last night. Physicians
declared the cause of Brody's death
was cerebral hemorrhage. Officials
of the district attorneys office today
began an investigation of the case.
Reports from the ringside stated
Brody was floored twice in the ninth
round, being rendered virtually help
less by the heavy blows landed by
his opponent. He gamely struggled
to his feet after going down the sec
'ond time and pitcher landed heavily
on his face and jaw. Brody again
fell and Artie McGovern, who acted
as referee, awarded Pitcher the de-
cision. +
Brody was carried to his corner.
limp and unconscious, and the usual
methods of collecting boxers scat
tered wits were used. His attend
ants became alarmed when he did not
revive. and physician was called,
and after an examination had Brody
removed to a hospital. Four hours
later he died.
Pitcher. McGovern and several
men who had places in the boxers
corners were detained for time, but
were later released on their own REG
cgnizanee, agreeing to appear at
ence If wanted.

Russian Situation Is IS Be
coming Still More
Entangled y.
SOVIET IS IN SADDLE
Seems Able to Rout All
Trained Diplomats of
ID. Allies
(By Associated Pressl

Genoa, April 25.-The Genoa con-
ference is drifting toward the rocks
again. Whether it can be kept from
wreckage depends upon the possibil-
Iity of adjusting the new demands Of
the Russian soviet delegates with the
jposition Of the allied governments,
who declare they will steadfastly
stand by the resolutions adopted a.
Cannes, on which the conference was
founded.
The situation is made more critical
byethe French premier's frank warm
ing in his address at Bar-le-D Due yes
terday that France will withdraw
from the conference if she is unable
to see that the ideas expressed by
the French cabinet before parliament
can triumph. .. ,>-e... MI
These French virtual demands in
clude maintenance of the war repara-
tions figures, disbarment Of all dis
armament discussion and no chang
ing at Genoa of existing treaties. In
addition France insists on rigid ad-
herence to the Cannes resolutions,
which call for the payment of Rus
sia's pre-war debts and the restitu-
tion by the soviet of foreigners prop
erty in Russia.
The conference of experts on the
Russian question broke up yesterday
and adjourned sine die because the
experts representing the powers
found the Russians new set of pro-
posals absolutel yin contradiction to
the soviet note accepting the allies
terms as basis for future delibera-
tions.
Yesterday the bolsheviki announc-
ed their declination to restore private
property because everything was ma
tionalized in Russia, but in their note
of acceptance they voiced willingness
to restore such property or indem-
nifty the owners provided the coun-
try's war debts to the allies were
cut down and financial help for Rus
sia Forthcoming.
Instead of accepting the allies de-
mands for the payment of war debts,
with the understanding that the debts
be scaled down and the arrears in
interest either postponed or remitted
in part, the bolsheviki had an entire
ly different proposition. They asked
the complete annulment- of all war
debts.
Whereas they had previously
agreed to the payment of the finan-
cial obligations due to foreign ma
tionals which are usually referred to
as the pre-war debts, the soviet
spokesmen asked for moratorium of
thirty years on these debts and the
of the interest, accord
ing to the allied version of the meet
ing. This cancellation was to apply
both to the past and to the period of
the moratorium.
Finally, the Russians made clear
that, in refusing to restore private
property in Russia, this would not
imply any surrender by Russian citi-
sens Of their rights to hold property
in fee simple in foreign lands, sbour-

Combing Hills in Mill
Greek Section of
Kentucky
JUDGE SHOWS HIS GRIT.
Will Stop Lawlessness If
1t Takes 1000 Regular
Soldiers
tHv Associated Pressl

Manchester, KY, ApFl 25.-Feud-
lists of Clay county, who few
months ago were ready t oshoot op-
posing clans on sight, have joined
hands with each other and with. the
civil authorities to clean up Mill
Creek, following the action of Circuit
Judge Hiram J. Johnson, who yes
terday issued warrants for the ar
rest of two hundred residents of the
mountain territory over 1g years Of
age will be taken into custody by the
posse in Judge Johnson's drive to
stop lawlessness in the mountains of
Kentucky. Possemen are combing
the hills and bringing in prisoners.
Reports made by returning officers
are to the effect that many of those
for whom warrants have been issued
have voluntarily surrendered and are
coming in to Manchester. Others
are planning to leave the county and
some have intimated that they will
not come, according to officers.
Judge Johnson's instructions were
"to bring the men in," and he an
nounced that he was going to clean
up Mill Creek if it required the as
sistance of 1000 soldiers.
After issuing sixty warrants
Judge johnson decided upon the
wholesale plan and ordered all resi-
dents over IL years of age arrested.
Tim and George Philpott and the
Ponder brothers, who were leaders in
the fight against one another in the
feud which ragged in the Little Goose
until the last term of
court, are members of the posse
seeking out the alleged law breakers.
The trouble about Mill Creek began
Thursday when John Taylor, who
had been summoned as witness in !
a land suit, was shot to death from
Deputy Sheriff iPtt Stiv-
ers later that day was sent into the
neighborhood with four others to I
serve warrants for persons wanted
in connection with the shooting and
other cases. They were attacked by |
16 men in ambush. Mr.. Stivers was
shot from his horse and three horses |
in the party stopped bullets, their
riders escaping by hiding until dark
hes sfell.
Deputy Sheriffs D. W. White, Jr.,
and Robert Hacker, members of the
party reported that "moonshining is
rampant in the Mill Creek section"
They said the ambushers who attack
ID them were armed with high-pow-
ared rifles and large-calibered pis-
tolls.
A conspiracy among the Mill Greek
residents to thwart the law has ex-
sted several months, they declared.
Those who are in the conspiracy
have agreed to prevent arrests of
members by force of arms and, if
to kill officers who might
attempt to make arrests, the officers
laid.
The plotters have agreed among
that they will XIII any
Who oppose their illegal practices,

ifs.
