Forbids Turnin 3
On Lemon Stree;

Mayor Steen has issued orders to
policemen not to permit autoists to
make a complete turn about of their
cars at street crossings on Lemon at
Second. Third or Fourth street. Au-
toists who wish to turn around will
have to drive either to Fifth or First
streets if they happen to be in the
zone between these two streets when
they wish to turn around.
This order was issued by the may

to Business Manager Charley Harris,
enc of the squarest men in baseball,
saying that the Pals will be in Gaines

Charley Harris will be remembered
by many of the fans as the successor
to Muggsy McGraw at third base for
the famous Baltimore Orioles, when
that club was champion of the Ma
tional League. He played withHugh-
ey Jennings at short, Doyle at first
and such famous Outfieltsers at
Keller, Kelly and Delehanty. Rob
inson, Now manager of the Dodgers
and Clarke were the famous back
stops and Jerry Nops. Wizard Hoffer,
Mcmahon, Corbett ond PeSeffer were
pitchers.
Charley Harris broke into base
hall at Macon, Ga, and was not only
star at baseball, but also was a ter
ror on the footbell field. It was
turnig a training season of the Or
ioles at Macon that he attracted the
attention of Ned H2nlon and was CIV
en- try out. He Immediately made
good, playing third base. He hit a.
bore 500 and was regarded as one Of
the stellar lights in baseball.
During his visit here with the
Gainesvilleclub Charley was the same
level headed, quick thinking ball
playr that h was in old days and Wig
orously opposed the action of Man
ager Buie in taking his club to St.

certified that it was absolutely

MANY of the farmers and pro-
ducers of the west" he said "have
been ruined by the car shortage Of

hundreds Of millions of dollars. The

INCEND|ARY FIRE
LEVELS FAMOUS
. QUEBEC CHURCH

Quebec, Dec. 22.-The fire
which destroyed the historic ST.
100000 Notre Dame church early
today is believed to have been
caused by an incendiary, accord
ing to Daniel Lorrain, chief of the
provincial police, who said he had
received a letter informing him
that the edifice would be burned
on December 28. First reports
said it was believed the blaze was
caused by a short circuit in the
electrical wiring.
Notre Dame is the ninth Cath
olic edifice in Canada to be visited
by serious fire this year and the
second in this section.
The rectory adjoining the
church also was destroyed. The
seminary buildings were threaten
ed and the students were ordered
out.
The flames leaped the narrow
street separating the church build
ings from the business section of
old Quebec and caused slight dam
age to the offices of the Telegraph
and the Chronicle, the English
newspapers. Other establishments
suffered heavily from smoke and
water.
Monsignor LaFlamme, cure OF
Notre Dame, said that the art
treasures and documents dating
back to 1874 which the church
held among it's greatest possessions
had been destroyed.
