According to the statisticians
have famed about nine times in
eleven times at bat against Pruett-
or maybe it's ten out of twelve-and
naturally the folks are asking me
how come?
wish I knew. I'd hate to think
that any pitcher had anything on
me, even one with 80 much stuff
as Pruett has when he is right. Con-
fidence is the greater part of any
batter's equipment. and once he gets
a notion that he cannot hit a partic-
ular pitcher he just naturally can't.
My own theory Of my failure to
hit Pruett heretofore Is that he has
foiled me into swinging at bad balls.
I know that the last time I faced
hint was in the fourth inning Of
the second game Of the Browns re.
cent series at New York-he got"
me on a low ball that wasn't within
a foot Of the plate. / swung at 1t,
however. and missed II by inches
with all the bases filled and none

the fact that the Browns take moth.

ing the Yanks by plastering every

They know they cannot win in any
other way. and It bespeaks a strong
morale that they can take a series
OF drubbings from the Yanks and
still maintain an almost invincibile

a club as the Browns deserves a

8 CUPS COFFEE A
DAY TOO MUCH FOR
POOR Says TURNER
Commissioner Belieevs 1t
Rank Extravaganza at
Poor-Farm
I0RESD!SIR!cI COUNTY
Straight Ticket PROPOSE
ton Planned for
Bridge

Commissioner Gabe Turner believes
that three cups of coffee per day is
too much of luxury for inmates at
the poor farm. He so stated at the
monthly meeting of the board yester-
day, and asked that more economy
be practiced at the home.
Commissioner Turner's observations
were provoked by a bill for twelve
pounds of coffee used during the
month, there being seven or eight in
mates of the home. Mr.. Turner said
he thought the commissioners should
go out and have Few meals at the
farm just to see how we'll they fare
there. The cost to the county for the
farm is about 5000 per month.
The board also created another
justice of the peace district. This
will comprise the Florahome and
Grandin districts. In the discussion
over this matter it was brought out
that fees in justice cour-s have in
creased abnorrally in the last year
o. two. Commlssl' er Burt said that
$25 per month was considered year
or two ago, as large sum from the
office. The county appropriated
$4,000 for this purpose in October
and the sum is already practically
exhausted, it was stated.
Cut Out Annual Passes
There was general discussion Of
the proposal to cut out all annual or
semi-annual passes across the St.
Johns river bridge, and put everybody
on the Same basis. Commissioner
Turner objected strenuously to this,
but committee composed of Commits
sioners Burt and Glenn was appointed
TO work out the plan.

Stop Dancing, Smoking
and Drinking at
Parties III
CITIZENS MAKEPR0TEST
Shown That Some High
School Students Were
Hauled Home
Especial to The News

Miami, May 3.-Miami is seething
over action yesterday afternoon of
the Dade county board of public in
struction in passing resolution that
the name of the Dade county schools
should not be used in connection
with any class party given where
there was dancing, smoking or drink
ing. Many express the opinion that
the board has given credence to re-
ports that such things do exist pro-
miscuously at school parties.
This action was taken by the
board at the request of delegation
of 16 women representing the va
rious evangelical churches Of the city
and in accordance with a resolution
adopted this morning by the Miami
Ministerial association.
1t was brought about largely
through plans for the holding on Fri
day night at the Star Island Yacht
club of the annual junior-senior
prom. Last years prom at the Hal
cyon hotel, according to DIR. A. G.
Holmes, a member of the school
board, was made disgraceful by
drinking on the part of number of
the participants whose condition be-
came such that they had to be taken
home in conveyanees.
The delegation which appeared be-
fore the board was headed by Mrs,
W. S. Frost, of Trinity M. E. church,
south. ..
The women presented the follow
ing resolution adopted by the Miami
Ministerial association and addressed
to the members of the school board:
"Bt it resolved, That because Of
the evil influence and dire results
coming out of the public dance, That
we express our disapproval of this
means of pleasure seeking and that
we request the Dade county school
board and the school authorities to
prohibit the dance as function car
ried on in the name of or under the
auFrira= &c the schools il arv de-
.,c-Hil... . q pGc.t'"s' a,.
The resolution was signed by lead
ing ministers of the city.
Had Supervised Dancing.
In the discussion that followed the
reading of the resolution to the
school boar, A. c. Alleshouse, super
vising principal of the, schools, said
that while he was opposed to dane
ing the school authorities had exer-
cised supervision over the various
class functions.
Chairman H. H. Filler, Of the
school board, declared that in his
opinion the matter rested largely
with the parents of the young peo-
pie.
81 agree fully with what you wom-
en- say" said DIR. Holmes, because
the prom last year at the Halcyon
hotel was marked by drinking and
other disgraceful actions on the part
of some of the participants"

condition of number of the partici-
pants became so bad from drinking
that they had to 81 taken to their

Traffic League Plans a
Campaign to Deepen
St. Johns
CANAL TO INDIAN RIVER
An Enthusiastic Meeting
Held at Orlando
Yesterday

Orlando, May 3.-The fight of the
Central Florida Water Traffic league
to secure cheaper freight rates
through the development of water
transportation was carried on, yes
terday in the meeting of the Orlando
Chamber Of Commerce when Presi-
dent S. ]. Sigh, of the league, and
Judge W. 7. Bland, former member
of congress from Kansas and presi-
dent of the First National bank, of
this city, made stirring appeals to
secure the endorsement and support
of the local commercial organization
in the most vital movement afoot in
the peninsular state today.
The recent survey authorized by
congress for the purpose of deter
mining the cost of an inland Florida
waterway system to reach as far
south as Miami and the subsequent
calling of a meeting by the engineers
in charge of the survey at Titusville
on May 16, for the purpose of hear
ing from those sections of the state
interested in the proposed route, was
responsible for the activity mani
tested at this time by the Central
Florida Water Traffic league.
Utilization of the great natural
waterway of the st. Johns river and
connecting with the Indian river by
canal at point between Cocoa and
Titusville by the government for the
proposed inland water route is adj
vocated by the Central Florida Wa
ter Traffic league. This route would
reach from Jacksonville to Miami
and could be tapped by railroad to
be constructed from central Florida
to the point where the canal would
connect with the Indian river.
Judge Bland estimated. that the
expenditure by the government for
the deepening of the st. Johns and
the construction of the canal connect
inc with the Indian river would not
exceed $4,OOO,000.
"And can go out in four weeks
and raise the capital to build rail-
road from central Florida to connect
this section up with this waterway"
he said.
President Sigh stated that the
tonnage from central Florida, if such
route were chosen, would treble
that coming from any other section
which another route might serve.
In opening lis address Judge
Bland said: Il am here today be-
cause this is the most important sub
iect before the people Of Florida to-
dav. Transportation is the life blood
Of nation. Il Florida is to reach
its commercial destiny it is through
economical transportation"
Furnishing as a contrast the rates
enioyed by Sanford over Orlando
less than half because of available
water transportation, he stated that
there was never more psychology
ical time to get favorable legislation
from the federal government than
now.
eve need water transportation
not to replace railroad transportation
but to supplement it," he said.
Calling attention to the expendi-
+ure of the government in the ONO
valley, along the Illinois river and
tbe lower Mississippi, Judge Bland
said that the expenditure to improve
the water transportation facilities OF
Florida would be a mere bagatelie IN
comparison.

Flremen Called Out at
Early Hour to Fight
Fight Flames
HARDING A SPECTATOR
Chief Executive Gets Up
and Watches the
Fighters
tBy Associated Press)

ond time in three months, firemen
early today battled with a stubborn
fore on the roof of the treasury de-
partment which for a time assumed
menacing proportions as the flames,
burning through a long superstruc-
ture, leaped high in the air and cast
a threatening glow on the white
house itself, while sparks waited
across to its surrounding terrace.
When discovered about 1:45 a. m.
the flames already had gained con-
siderable headway and were soaring
to a height Of thirty or forty feet
when fire apparatus, responding to
five alarms, arrived at the scene.
Gaining impetus abou that time from
dull, rumbling explosion which
firemen believed was caused by build
ing materials stored for use in the
present work of raising the roof of
the structure, the blaze cast bright
glow on the night sky over the entire
downtown section before it began to
subside under the effect of water
from a dozen hose lines. The white
house and Washington monument
stood out in sharp relief in the fan
tastic light of the flames.
Awakened by white house attend
ants, President and Mrs. Harding
dressed and from a widnow watched
the firemen battle the flames in the
nearby structure.
When checked after about thirty
minutes effort, the flames had
burned entirely through one section
of the superstructure which tops the
section of the building that divides
the court and had spread to parts OF
the central portion of the roof. Un-
official estimates, however, place the
damage at not more than $75,OOO, al
though it was not known whether
this adequately took into account the
possible damage from water which 1t
was believed might be considerable
in the court section Of the building
Immediately under the central plaze'
The new roof structure IN other
portions was said to have been only
SLIGHTLY damaged and not burned
through, which would reduce the
damage from water in other sections
of the building.
Firemen had been on the scene
only a few minutes when Gordon ol
about fifty marines was thrown
around the building. The genefal
nublic and representatives OF the
nress alike were denied PERMISSION
to pass within the line, when n"o
made it difficult at an early hour to.

the damage. Under-secretary OF the
Treasury Clifford was early on tns

The blaze apparently was OF muen
the same nature as that which o'-
enrred s on the treasury roof during
