COAL OPERATORS
IN WASHING ON

Settlement of Distribution
! Plans Is Primarily the
Object
(By Associated Press

Washington, July 24.-Bituminous
coal mine operators representing the
present producing districts in six
states gathered here today at the cal!
of Secretary Hoover, who sought
their cooperation with the govern
ment and the railroads in coal dis
tributiol scheme designed to protect
the carriers, public utilities and 9th
er necessary industries against a
shortage and prevent profiteering
during the strike emergency.
AS thrashed cut in detail at a Sc
ries of conferences Of the federal
agencies involved yesterday, the plan
contewplates the creation Of cen
trail committee, with representatives,
It is understood, frorl the depart
ments cf commerce, justice, interior

sion, operating through local COM
mittees in the producing districts Of

SUCCESSOR TO DR..
SHEATS WILL Be
Ed IN FALL.
Appointment by Cover
nor Only Effective
Until Then
CANDIDATES GROOMING
Dixie Hollins Was Run
ner-Up Last Time and
May Run Again

With the appointment of DR.. w. S
Cawthorn to succeed w. N. Sheats
deceased, as state superintendent Of
public instruction, the question nov
arises as to how long Mr.. Cawthorr
will hold office. According to the
constitution he holds office by ap-
pointment of the governor until the
next general election, which, in this
instance, is in November.
Section of Article 4 of the state
constitution says: when any Of
flee, from any cause, becomes vacant
and no mode is provided by the con,
stitution or by the laws Of the state
for filling such vacancy, the governor
shall have the power to fill such va
cancy by granting a commission for
the unexpired term"
Mr.. Sheats was elected at the
general election of 1920, taking oath
of office for a term Of four years in
January of 1921. Hence his term
would not expire until January, 1925,
but an advisory opinion by the su.
preme court to the governor in 65
Florida, 434, So So. 1868 says:
when term of an elective state
office is vacant within the meaning
of the statute, the governor has the
executive power to fill such vacancy
by appointment, but the term of Of
flee of such appointee shall extend
only to the election and qualification
Of successor to the ensuing gen.
eral election"
The above seems 70 settle the
question as to when a successor is to
be elected, and the statutes provide
for the method of getting his name
on the ballot, this having been deter
mined when the name of Sidney J.
Cats was placed on the ballot by Pc
tition when he ran Independently for
governor.
In the last democratic primary,
when Mr.. Sheats was nominated to
succeed himself, Dixie NJ. Hollins,
former superintendent of public in
struction of Pinellas, was runner-up
to Mr.. Sheats, and it is expected that
he will become candidate. It is also
believed that DR.. Cawthorn will per-
NIT his name to be submitted to the
voters, and other available material
will be C. r. NJ. Sheppard, of Yolusia
county; G. B. Tedder, of Madison,
and Miss Glenn Hampton, member Of

Burn Barracks at Two
Places Before Taking

REGULARS WIN WEST
Success in Limerick Is
Followed Swiftly by
Other Captures

London, July 4.-Unconfirmed re-
ports received in London today said
the Irish irregular forces were re-
treating with all speed into the Gal
tee and KnOckmealdown mountains,
harassed by free state troops, who
are pressing them hard and prevent
ing them from concentrating.
A Waterford dispatch to The Daily
News says the irregulars have burn
ed the barracks at Clonmel and Tip
perary, long held as garrisons, and
It is believed the national army
forces have occupied both these
places. This, however, is not claim
ed in any official report.
The Express correspondent says it
is believed the pressure being exert
ed by the national troops upon both
flanks Of the republicans will com,
pei them to make a stand, perhaps
their last, in these mountains, some
of the other correspondents, howev-
er, doubt whethey they will be able
to make stand anywhere, although.
they do not draw the conclusion that
an early end Of resistance can be ex-
pected. They believe the republicans
will continue guerrilla operations in
the widest parts Of the mountains.
The possibility that the retreating
irregulars may yet reach Cork and
make last desperate stand there is
still entertained in some quarters.
The various views, however, obvious.
ly are largely speculative since none
Of them can be verified except by the
general turn of events.

Woman of Tropical
City browns When
Auto Falls in Canal
{ BY AssOei.:sS Press }

West Palm Beach, July 24.-Mrs.
J. V. Savage, of Tropical City, was
drowned last night when the car IN

band and two children and 4 guest,
Miss Sylvia Worth, of Stuart, broke

fell into the lock chamber Of a ca

lay in the water at the bottom Of the
lock chambers two hours after the
tragedy.
In the darkness Savage missed

MICHIGAN CHIEF
EXECUTIVE READY
TO OPERATE MINE
Governor Groesbeck |,
in Saginaw to Com
plete Plans

Detroit, Mich, July 24.-Governor
Groesbeck left Detroit for Saginaw
today, prepared to take some definite
step toward bringing about resump-
ton of operations in Michigan coal
mines.
| He was scheduled to confer with I,
Leo Jones, president of District "a,
! United Mine Workers of America,
this afternoon, regarding the pr0pos-
ais made to the miners by the COVER
nor last week, which suggested the
workers return to the mines and pro-
duce coal for state and municIpa!
purposes, either under private or
public control. Mr.. Jones is quoted
as saving miners of Michigan cannot
return to the mines without permis-
sion of national union officials. John
l.. Lewis, national president of the
United Mine Workers, already has
informed the governor such permis-
sion will not be given in Michigan
until a national agreement between
operators and miner has been reach
ed.
Governor Groesbeck was prepared
to offer every inducement to the MN
ers to obtain acceptance Of his pro-
posals, but indicated that in case no
agreement can be reached he WouIa
undertake direction of the mines ana
attempt to produce coal. He declared
that the coal shortage is becoming
too acute in Michigan to permit Oh
further delay in resumption OF opef-
ations. !
In case the state takes over the
mines and the striking miners refuse
to return to work state police, and II
necessary the national guard VIII De
assigned to the duty Of protecting
The mines and workers.

ROADS COMMITTEE
TO HOLD 4 PUBLIC
RALLY TOMORROW
County Districts Urged
to Send Representatives
to Meeting
WANT TO SETTLE PLANS
Petition Must Be Circu-
lated Asking for Bond
Election

4 public meeting Of the good roads
committee of the Palatka district, as
well as those from all other districts
Of the county, will be held tomorrow
afternoon az the court house at 3
o'clock for the purpose Of finally
agreeing upon the conditions of the
petition which will be cOrculated ask
ing the county commissioners to call
bonding election for the construc-
ton of good roads.
The purpose of the meeting tomor-
row is to get, as nearly as possible,
Unanimous agreement on the proposed
plans for bonding, and to give every
body an opportunity to be heard. Sec
retary Hart has written practically
every voting precinct in the county
asking that repres entatives be sent to
PaIatka. Where he could not ascer-
tain the names Of those interested in
roads he addressed the invitation to
the postmaster with the request that
he communicate with the proper per-
sons.
It is beiieved that the residents of
the IuterLachen district who have
voiced some oppS1i5ion to the original
plans, will be satisfied when they
learn the reasons for making the In.
t9rlachen road to the Alachua county
line Of gravel The committee feels
very sure that it will not be very long
before the county will be able to fin
ish that section of the road with brick.
It was pointed out by Chairman
Fearnside bhat the committee does not
wish to go ahead with a projuect to
which there is the slightest opposition
that can be overcome by sound rea-
soning, for if the bond issue goes over
it is the desire Of every member of
the committee that it goes over as
nearly unanimously as possible.
There is & very strong sentiment in
savor Of a sixteen foot road from the
Clay county line, but this, it is beIiev-
ed, cannot be built unless the state
an promise some very material as
,istance. Until this assistance can
,e reasonably promised, some point
,ut, it might be better TO delay work
N this road. Such a policy, the COM
aittee believes. would be fatal mis-
AXE, as the Importance of this road !

There has also been some talk Of |

are not disposed to ac-
