London, March 2.-The man behind
the scenes in the Italian political cri-
sis is Silician priest, Don Luigi
Tturzo, 81 years old. He is the
founder of the popular party which
was responsible for proportional rep
resentation in Italy-a form of cleo
tion whcih game dthe party 100 seats
in the chamber of deputies in the last
election. He leads the party without
seat in parliament, says the Cen
trail News. He has three representa-
tives in the Bonomi cabinet. The hun
dred members of parliament obey his
dictates faithfully and he has the
power to make or unmake govern
ments. He never appears on the pub
lie platform but is the man who pulls
the strings.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN
DIR. Seymour in Jail in Sumter Count.
On q Most Serious Charge

A good many Marion county people,
especially in the vicinity of Fort Nc
Coy, will remember DR.. D. NJ. Sey-
mour, who was tried in the circuit
court about eight years ago on the
charge of being partly responsible for
the fire that burnt the business heart
out of the pretty little town of Fort
Mccoy, indirectly causing one death
and gIving the town setback from
which it has never since recovered.
DR.. Seymour was sentenced to three
years In the state prison, but was
pardoned out after eighteen months.
After that he went to Bushnell, where
he set up a drugstore, and has since
been doing a fiourishing business.
About two weeks ago, the body of
a newly-born white girl was found in
pond some ten miles from Bushnell.
The child had been stabbed and its
skull smashed in. Investigation re-
suited in the arrest of Irene Whit
tlngton, the alleged mother of the
child, her mother, Mrs. Ida Whiting
ton, and her sister, Mrs. ]. r. Beckett,
and DIR. Seymour. The doctor waived
examination and was committed to
Jail. The three women were released
on bail-Mrs. Wilmington and Irene,
$4,000 each; Mrs. Beckett, $500. The
women, in a day or two, left for
Sutherland. In the meantime State
Attorney Scofeld took up the case,
and had the women rearrested on the
charge of murder. They were COM
mitted to jail, but were brought to
| Ocala Tuesday on a writ of habeas
corpus. DR.. Seymour was also
brough to Ocala at the same time and
on a similar writ.
On reviewing the case, Judge Bull
lock saw no reason for overruling
the action of the Sumter county au-
thorities. He decided that the women
were entitled to the bail they had pre-
viously given, and sent DIR. Seymour
back to the Sumter county Jail.
Irene Wilmington accuses a young
man named Seth Churchill of being
the father of the child. He has been
arrested, but allowed bail in the sum
of $500.
The Wilmington family lives al
Webster, having removed there from
Sutherland some years ago.

OLD ENGLAND'S ROAST BEEF -,
is COMING FROM ABROAD

(By Mail to the Associated Press)
Lendon, March 3.-A song that was
very popular in London music halls
years ago extolled the virtues of the
Roast Beef of Old England" and
vociferously declared that it accounts
for the freedom that runs in the
blood of the Englishman."
1t is generally believed that quite
as much of the rich, red blood of free
dom runs in his veins as in the good
days of old but it can no longer be
said that it is the Roast Beef of Old
England" that accounts for its pres
ence there.
IN fact many Englishmen, but more
especially Londoners, eat much less
of English beef than they do of beef
that comes from other countries that
are far distant and which is brought
to England frozen in refrigerators.
A report of the "frozen meat trade
which has just been published says
lmportations in the United Kingdom
IN 1921 exceeded all previous records
with a total of 917,4 tons of beef
mutton and lamb. The home produce
was estimated at 1,056, 400 tons.
In London district, IS per cent Of
the meat marketed came from over
seas. Only one Londoner out of sever
can reckon upon having British-fet
meat go eat.

BOTTOMLEY IN BAD
Ex-Edit0r of John Bull" an English
Journal Which Has Shown Spe-
cial Animosity for America
tAssociated Press)


London, March 22.-Unusual public
interest has been displayed in the case
against Horatio Bottomley, member
of parliament and formerly editor of
John Bull and other London periodi-
Gals, whose trial was set for today on
a charge of converting to his own use
$4,000 which belonged to the Victory
Bond Club.
Mr.. Bottomley has been chairman
of the independent parliamentary
group but resigned that position and
has announced that he intended to
suspend his political and journalistic
activities until the case against him
was cleared up. His summons to a
police court was a elimination of a
long series of legal actions which re-
suited from his conduct of the Victory
Bond Club and the Thrift Club in
1919.
In some of these Mr.. Bottomley ap-
peared as complainant charging libel
to different persons who had attacked
him and in other cases subscribers to
different clubs whose funds were al
legged to have been under Mr.. Bottom
Iey's control sought to recover by ap-
plication to police courts.
In the course of one of these actions
Mr.. Bottomley testified that 9450,00O
had been subscribed to the Victory
Bond Club and that 995O,O00 had been
returned after a run on that organi-
zation resulting from publication of
what purported to be an expose of his
conduct of that organization.
| At that time Mr.. Bottomley prom
ised that the remainder would soon
be returned to the subscribers. Or
his behalf it was stated that he haC
lost s35, 900 in the project and, owing
to decline in the price of victory bonds
expected to lose another 100000.
There have been some amusing in
cidents in connection with the case
One of those who publicly attacked
iBottomley's management of the club:
was Reuben Bigland, a solicitor OF
Birmingham, whose name appeared o,
a circular sold in the streets and en-
titled "a record of Horatio Bottom
ley'e good deeds and achiements OF
behalf of ex-service men, wounded
sailors and soldiers, cripples, widow
and orphans since his election as {
member of parliament" The pamph
let contained only blank pages. Fo
selling it news vendor was sentenc
ed to serve ten days in prison on tn
charge of obtaining a penny by falls
pretenses.
Mr.. Bottomley has been describes
as the greatest lay lawyer of modern
times" and has had an extensive ex
perience in litigation, personally de

!. lengthy legal ordeals.

marshal and city manager, riding
over the city, inspecting the premises
property owners and doing the work
of the present cow impounder and
any necessary police duty. By this
means the cow impounder, one police
man and the sanitary inspector are
taken off the pay roll and a mounted
policeman with sanitary duty is to be
employed at a considerable saving.
Manager Brumby also stated he
had in mind rearranging the system
of collecting garbage by the depart
ment. His idea is to have is general
ly understood that garbage will be
collected in the different wards on
certain days of the week and to
notify property owners of this ar
rangement so they can have their gar
bage and trash raked up and ready
for the wagons, and make it prohibi-
tory placing garbage in the streets
on days other than those specified
for the different wards.
Mayor Peek called attention to the
fact that enforcement of the sewer
connecting provisions Of the city ordi-
nances were not being carried out and
that the open privy was just as much
in evidence now as before the sewer
system was installed. Mayor Peel
said that the state board of health had
offered the services of its sanitary en-.
gineer to the city, free of charge, al
any time he might be needed. The
council asked the mayor to request
the board to send its engineer here
to make a survey of the city anc

GANGwAY FOR THE BONUS
LOCAL LEGISLATION

City council met Tuesday night IN
regular session with President Mar
tin, Councilmen Simmons, Pedrlck
and Henry, Clerk Sistrunk, Attorney
Hooker, Manager Brumby and Mayor
Peek present.
Mr.. G. S. Scott presented to the
council the schedule of a proposed in
surance policy drawn by himself at
the suggestion of Manager Brumby,
covering all city property. Manager
Brumby stated it was his idea that
all outstanding insurance, covered by
several small policies, be cancelled
and the new policy covering city
property be prorated among the diff
ferent agents. The total insurable
values covered by this policy amount
to approximately $101,000 and the
premium cost is approximately $4O2.
After discussing the policy, it was

looked Mr. Scott was requested to
include this building and then submit
the policy to the city manager.
A communication was read from
Mr.. w. J. Frink requesting the city to
lay certain sidewalks and curbs pro-
vided for in recent paving ordinance
along his property on North Magnolia
street.
A letter was read from Agent
Huckaby of the Atlantic Coast Line,
asking permission to remove the ole
umbrella shed ON the south side of
the uptown Coast Line passenger
station, to save expense in upkeep of
the property. AS no one voiced any
objection, permission was granted.
Tucker & Simmons submitted letter
requesting payment for the Fordsor
tractor and road scraper recently
bought by the city. After some dis
cussion of city finances it was decided
to pay for this equipment in cash
and the clerk was instructed to draw
check for $500 in favor of Tucker &
Simmons.
Statement was read from Burford
Hall &Smith for $773.56, balance due
on the water softening machinery al

paid.
Reading the report of the sanitar.
and plumbing inspector brought up 1
lengthy discussion about that depart
ment and sanitary and health meas
ures generally, which took up most O
the evening. Mr.. Brumby was of tn,
opinion that considerable saving coult
be effected by combining the work o
this department with that of other de
partments and eliminating the ex
pense of plumbing Inspector. At

fact that the city had an ordinanc
requiring the services of a licenses
