BY LARGE CROWD
Gentlemanly Debate Launches
Two Prominent Men On Cam
paign for U. S. Senator

A large crowd assembled in Mum
park Friday evening to hear eX-G0v-
ernor Gilchrist and United States
Senator Trammell open their cam
paign, and, although both men were
given a courteous and interested at
tention through the gentlemanly de
bate, the heart Of the crowd was evil
IDENTIFY with the senator.
In the absence of Mayor Petteway
j. Hardin Peterson, city attorney
presided and introduced the speakers
Mr.. Gilchrist was the first speaker
and reviewed his record as governor
and took up the record of his oppo-
nent both as governor and as SEN
ator, attempting to show that it was
mot so much, and that he could do
things differently were he in the sen
ators chair.
Senator Trammell was given dis
tinct ovation as he arose to speak.
He began his remarks by reference
to his long association with this COM
munity, Lakeland being his birth
place and the scene of his early life.
He stated that he still retains his
citizenship in Lakeland because he
believes he owes allegiance to this
community.
He took up points in his career to
which Gilchrist objected, and appear
ed to satisfy his hearers with his re-
sponses, particularly when he took
up Mr.. Gilchrists intimation that he
had been connected with the Cats
forces. Mr.. Trammell was able to
show that his popularity, as attested
by the votes of the people. had been
steadily increasing before Florida had
heard of Cats.
This was the first of a series of
double speaking engagements by Gill
christ and Trammell, and launches
what promises to be highly inter
esting campaign.

THAT OF EUROPE
Presentation of Economic Prob.
lens At Second Session Of
u. S. Chamber Commerce

Washington, May 17.-Speeches de-
voted to the discussion of the tariff,
the Allied debt to the United States
and the Preparations question as af-
fecting this country's foreign trade
outlook occupied most of the program
for the second session today of the
tenth annual meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
Reviewing financial conditions in
Europe, which he said, by creating
tho disadvantage Of high exchange
rates, already had seriously curtailed
this country's foreign Grade, John
R. Delafield, of New York, former
chairman of contract adjustment bu-
reau of the war department, told the
gath ting that payment of the inter-
est on the Allied debt would greatly
add to this hindrance. Payments
of the principal, he said, would still
more seriously aggravate the situa-
ton"
ut is for u.s." Mr. Delafield said.
ITO do all in our power to overcome
this handicap and certainly not to do
anything to increase the disadvan-
tage under which we labor What
is the amount of these foreign debts
to us, repaid as they will be over a
long series of years, beside our pros
perity and the we'll being Of our peo'
pie? Even the amount of these Is
small compared to the great increase
of wealth our country would make
in a period of great economic pros
perity."

Commissioner Culbertson of the Unit

ing of the ill effect of tariff discrim-
nations between nations, advocated

would accrue to all nations from the
application of the principle of treat
ment and the open door to all CO.
lonial possessions as we'll as to a
nation.
Every tariff bargain" Commission
er Culbertson said, Must be to a
greater or less extent discrimina-
ton also. And every discrimination
with what ever phrases it is dressed
up and no matter how clearly 1t
comes within a nations sovereign
rights, is felt by the foreign countries
which are Disseminated against as
an unfriendly act. The world can
not afford to increase the number
of unfriendly acts"

JEAN ACKER SEEKS DIVORCE
FROM RODOLPH VALENTINO

Los Angeles, May 17.-Jean Acker,
film acress, from whom Rodolph Val
entino, film actor, obtained an inter-
locutory degree of divorce a few
months ago, was under instruction to
report today to the district attorneys
office to tell what she knows of the
facts in the court action which gave
Valentino a decree but left him tech
nically her husband for a year.
Thomas McClelland, deputy district
attorney, sent a summons to Miss
Acker and at the same time assigned
Investigators to learn whether Valen-
tino committed bigamy, according to
the California laws, when he married
Winifred Hudnut, dancer and film art
director, known professionally as
Natacha Rambova, at Mexicali, last
Saturday.
Los Angeles superior court judges
have stated informally that such a
marriage as that Of Valentino and
Miss Hudnut is bigamous.
Miss Hudnut's name was intro
duced into the divorce trial through
the Identification of a picture of her
and Valentino.
The first legal action was taken by
Miss Acker. She filed a suit for sep
arate maintenance declaring Valen-
tino had not supported her. She as
serted that when she married him he
had nothing; that partly through
her efforts he gained fame as an
actor and then he failed to support
her. -
On a cross-complaint, Valentino
filed bill for divorce, declaring that
Miss Acker had deserted him. He
made the declaration that he wanted
her and loved her." that he would
take her back if she would go back
to him.
According to Douglas Gerard, film
director and groomsman at Valen-
tino's marriage to Miss Hudnut, the
bridegroom entered into the cere-
mony in good faith. Valentino was
at Palm Springs, Cal, he said, and
expected to remain there until Sep
TENDER.
