ACTION on A. c.
|. APPLICATION
Whether Ocala Should Favor or OPP
pose the Railroads Request To
Discontinue Certain Trains

The Atlantic Coast Line has made
application for permission to discon-
tinue its trains Nos 9 and 10 between
Leesburg and Jacksonville, Nos. 140
and 141 between Ocala and Wilcox
and Nos. 80 and 35 between Ocala and
Lakeland. There will be hearing in
the matter before the state railroad
commission in Gainesville Friday,
Feb. 10th, at 10 a. m. The Marion
County Board of Trade has found
that there is strong sentiment in
Ocala against compelling the rail-
roads to operate any trains at loss,
if, in fact, they are being operated at
loss, and especially at this time
when unnecessary railroad overhead
expense adds to the seriousness of
the situation as regards high freight
and passenger rates. The Board of
Trade is of the opinion that the au-
tomobile has made material cut in
the number of passengers hauled on
these local trains, and believes that
as soon as the Dixie highway and the
other main highways are completed,
there will be a still greater cut, for
there will be bus lines operating all
over the state. At the same time, the
Board of Trade wishes to know what
opposition there is to the diseontinu-
ance of these trains of the Coast Line
and it is urged that all those who
think these trains should be continued
let the secretary of the Board of
Trade know about it and give reasons
for it. 1t is requested that this be
done at once. The Board of Trade
has written various communities af-
fected by the trains to get their
, views.

SACRED COLLEGE
MADE ITS CHOICE
Cardinal Achille Ratti, Archbishop Of
Milan, Under Title of Plus XI.,
Is the New Pope

Rome, Feb. 6.-(By the Associated
Press) s)-Cardinal Achille Ratti, arch
bishop of Milan, was elected pope this
morning. He has taken the name of
Plus XI. Thousands were waiting be-
fore St. Peters for the wisp of smoke
which would tell of a new pope or fail
ure of the sacred college to reach a
decision, and mighty shout went up
at 11:33 when thin wisp came from
the Sistine Chapel chimney. Cardinal
Deacon Bisleti announced the cleo
tion from the central balcony of St.
Peters.
Cardinal Achille Ratti, archbishop
of Milan, was for several years papal
nuncio in Poland where his discharge
of important ecclesiastical functions
when the Polish question became
acute earned for him the esteem of
Benedict XIV and the gratitude of the
Vatican authorities. 1t was because
of this service that the red hat was
conferred upon him on June 16, 1921,
when similar honor was bestowed on
Cardinal laurent.
Cardinal Ratti was born in Italy on
March 81, 1857. For many years he
was librarian of the Ambrosian IL
brary and archives at Milan. Later
he became librarian of the Vatican
In this position he remained until the
new republic of Poland established
| official diplomatic relations with the
Vatican at which time Ratti was ap-
| pointed archbishop and was assigned
to Poland as the representative of the
Holy See.
! That country was then torn with
| the arrangements from religion
brought about by the communistic
propaganda from soviet Russia anc
/ Archbishop Ratti counteracted the
! spread of radicalism. He also wor
the esteem of Polish Catholics by hi:
efforts in behalf OF destitute children
orphaned by the war.
Cardinal Ratti as the archbishop O.
Milan presides over one of the mos
important archdioceses in Italy. Th'
city being a great industrial center
one of its main requirements is tina
the cardinal shall possess a thorough
knowledge of political and socia
problems. He is big physically AM
is reputed to have liberal tendencies.
THIRTY EIGHT VOTES
| London, Feb. 6.-(By Associate,
Press.)-Cardinal Ratti was electe,
pope by receiving thirty-eight votes

CIVIC COMMITTEES
OF COOPERATION
Attempt to Form a Headquarters and
Nerve Center for All Ocaia
Activities

With a view to co-ordinating the
activities of the various organizations
doing civic work in Ocala and thus to
avoid duplication and the overlapping
of programs of work and expendi-
lures, the Marion County Board of
Trade has proposed the formation of
a presidents and secretaries COM
mittee to be composed of these two
officers from each civic body. The
Board of Trade has addressed a let
ter to these organizations asking for
their cooperation and asking that
their presidents and secretaries meet
in the Board of Trade room Wednes-
day afternoon, Feb. 9Th, at o'clock
to discuss the movement. The COM
mittee would be of the nature of a
clearing house for civic activities in
Ocala.
= During the world war one of the re-
suits of the welfare work was dupli-
cation of the good work and expendi-
lures on the part of the several well
. fare organizations and the Board of
Trade is of the opinion that this same
result has followed a multiplicity of
civic organizations in the cities and
towns of the country all doing more
or less the same kind of work. 1t pro-
poses, therefore, that the presidents
and secretaries meet from time to
time to compare programs of work
and budgets for the purpose of elm
mating loss motion. The formation
of the committee contemplates the
working out of better programs OF
work and budgets of the several or.
ganizations in the city and the CO.
operation them of the various organ.
izations and the carrying out of these
programs. In other words, it is pro.
posed that there be mapped out q
program of civic work for the city
and that each item of this program
be carried out by the organizations
bestsuited to do so very much in the
manner in which standing commit
tees of single organizations woult
work.
Letters have been. written by the
Board of Trade to the American LIE
gion, American Legion Auxiliary
Business and Professional Woman!
Club, Marion County Real Estate Ex
change, Parent Teachers Association
Rotary Club and Woman's Club. Their,
is no intention of limiting the presi
dents and secretaries committee t.
these organizations, however. If it i
found there are other organization
that should be represented, they vii
be invited to cooperate.

core recited one of Kipling's barrack
room ballads entitled "Boots." These

Mayor Peek told about few of the
needs of the city, explaining how diff
ficult it is to get things done just
when the citizens expect and asking
the people of Ocala to have little
patience as there is usually good
cause for delay. DIR. Peek's talk was
very fine and full of good common
sense
Little Misses Clara and Lena Rick.
etson then gave pianologue, 81 Wish
l Were a Boy" This was very much
appreciated by all.
The program was brought to {
close by Mr.. L. II. Chazal in an excel
lent talk. Mr.. Chazal mentioned tina

that the people of Ocala do not pull
together. He said this statement L
no true as the people of Ocala do pull
together splendidly and the reason
they have not accomplished as mucl
as some of the South Florida towns, i
due to lack of funds, not lack of CO
| operation.

ROUNDED UP THE ROBBERS

This morning when Mr.. Lee Sharpe,
of Rheinauer's, opened up the store,
he noticed that the back door was not
fastened in the usual manner and
upon further investigation found that
several things in the store had been
disturbed, so he asked Mr.. Gordon,
chief of police, to look up Willie VIII
liams, a negro boy who had been
working for them for the past few
weeks. Chief Gordon and Sheriff
Thomas went to the boys house down
near the laundry and found not only
the boy but a full stock of gents fur
nishings. When the boy and his stock
of stolen articles were brought to the
sheriff's Office it was discovered that
some of the goods belonged to Mr.
Helvenston. Another boy was sus-
pected of being an accomplice OF
Willie's, so the officers went to the
room of John Henry Lumpkins ane
arrested him. Lumpkins' room con
tanned another pile of clothes but thi.
supply was not confined entirely K
gents supplies. 1t seems that Johl
Henry had a taste for ladies' ready
to-wear. Most of the articles stolel
came from Rheinauer's, Helvenston'
and Goldman's. Willie and John Hen
ry are now at the Chalker Hous,
awaiting trial.

less than an hour after the robbery
