other European government, the Ru-
manian government finds it very
difficult to make both ends meet and
tn eorder has gone forth that the
pruning knife of economy is to be
mercilessly applied wherever pos
sible.
Drastic cuts are to take place in
all branches of the diplomatci serv-
ice. The Rumanian legations in
Christiana. Helsingfors, Toxic and
Cairo are to be discontinued. The le-

cut down also.

BRITISH STOCKHOLDERS WAT
MEXICAN PROPERTY RESTORED

Mexico City, March 4.-British
stockholders in the Inter- Oceanic
railway, one of the federal-operated
roads in Mexico, recently protested
to the government against its reten-
ton and demanded the return of the
property together with accrued dam
ages.
General Amado Aguirre, secretary
of communications and public works,
stated in reply that the railway was
taken over 'for military purposes
strictly within the law and that the
government was excused from pay
ing damages for it suse until final
liquidation was effected and the
property returned to it's owners.
AS a concluding argument Secre-
tary Aguirre stated that the govern
ment owns SIS per cent of the rail
way stock and that the demands Of
the minority stockholders as repre-
scented by the British protest are not
legal.

aDiscoverer" of
Palm Beach Has
Shaft to Memory
(By Associated PressJ

West Palm Beach, March "a
statue of the late Captain E. ]. DIM
sck. pioneer citizen, developer and
legislator Of this section, has been
unveiled here.
Captain Dimick, with his wife and
daughter, came south from his In
diana home in 1875, stopping at
jacksonville. The following year ne
was Joined by other members of the
family and the small party set out
for Lake Worth shores, plying the
outside water route. The pilgrims
landed at what is now known as
Palm Beach in September of 1876.
Only two or three families and few
scattered bachelors populated the re-
gion at that time. Titusville, 1876
miles north, and without rail con-
Nectfon, was the nearest trading
post. St. Lucie, 65 miles north, fur
nished the nearest postoffice.
In this wilderness, however, the
party, equipped with mule and a
stock of chickens, began its new ven
ture. Tropical fruits came early
unto the industrial life of the settlers
and Captain Dimick went to Ber-
muda for seed and plants. From
these later sprang groves.
Henry M. Flagler came to Palm
Beach in 1898, and it was then that
he and Captain Dimick established
q friendship which lasted over life
time. The following year brought
the extension of the Florida East
Coast railroad to Palm Beach and the
section had its first rail communica
ton with the outside world. In the
same year the Hotel Poinciana was
erected.
In 1890 Captain Dimick was sent
to the state legislature as a member
Of the house of representatives. Si1
years later he went back as senator
to serve two terms.
Captain Dimick died in 1919 at the
age of 70 years.
The statue which was erected by
means of popular subscriptions, bears
the inscription:
SIN honor of the memory of Elisha
Newton Dimick, a pioneer, who serv'
ed his community well, 1849-1919
Legislator, Developer, Friend"
1t is a bronze figure portraying
the captain and his characteristic
posture; his cap swinging loosely in
hand, and one foot slightly ad,
yanced.
