Legislative Centenary
To Be Florida Event

This, the capital city Of Florida, is
making preparations for q centennial
celebration during the week Of No

anniversary Of the state a. q iegisla-
tive unit.
The history that lies back Of the
plan for the celebration embodies
several events that stand out promi-
nently in the record of the United
States. In 1918. General Andrew
Jackson, without authority from
Congress. but, according to belief
that has been given expression.
with tacit consent Of the cabinet in
Washington, invaded Florida, then
Spanish territory. He marched with
5000 men from Fort Gadsden on the
Apalachicola river to St. Marks In
Wakulla county, raised the American
two British subjects.
In consequence of this demonstra-
tion of Spanish weakness, Spain in
1919 consented to the purchase Of
Florida by the United States, and by
1921 every portion Of the territory
was surrendered to the United States
and the Spanish nag came down.
Later. in 1922, a legislative council
for West Florida was held In Pensa.
cola, and the next year q legislative
council for East Florida was held in
st. Augustine.
This form of administration was
found to present difficulties, however,
and an agreement was reached that
legislation should emanate for the
whole of the territory. from q central
point eQuidistant from Pensacola
and St Augustine. Thereupon, tive
commissioners were appointed and
early in 1924 Indian fields belonging
to the Seminoles. north OF st. Marks,
on the highlands Of the present Leon
county. were purchased and the site
of the capital selected. On that site
the first legislative council for the
territory Of Florida was held In log

trip in the steerage of a tramp
steamer from Bristol, England. to
New York. He landed a job at ST.

This spring he returned from his
annual trip to his old home, on the
Derengaria. a five-day floating pal
ace. Mr.. Miles got into the sport
ing publication business and later
interested himself in automobiles.
He is the New York automobile
show, practically.
Several years ago. when in Maine.
the name of Bristol caught his eye
and he thought he'd see how much
1t looked like Bristol, England. His
native town has q population of over
100000, Bristol, Me-, less than 300.
But he liked South Bristol and he
bought lofty bit of land overlook
ing Johns river and the ocean. He
named it Clifton. both because of the
high rocks on the east side and be-
cause that was the name of the sub
urb of Bristol, England, where he
was born.
What he has done to that scrag-
gly hill is a wonder. But, the gar
dens, swimming pool, tower, etc, are
not the most important features Just
now.
For a long time Mr.. and Mrs.
Miles have wanted to share their
pleasure in Clifton with others. but
not until their activities in the World
war brought them into contact with
the Salvation Army did the problem
seem solved.
So today 100 children are installed

HALTS ATTEMPT
 T0BREAK, JAIL

OPELIKA, Ala, Jan. 26.-(Special Leased Wire. IA daring attempt to escape from the Lee county jail was made by 12 white prisoners early Sat urday morning., They were prevented from making their get away only by the coming ef day, when they had to cease their efforts. One of the dputies, on making his rounds of inspection. dis covered where the prisoners had been at work.
 The men had been confined in inner cells on the third floor of the jail and beginning, early Friday night by using wires from bed springs and picking the locks had gained entrance to the hallway or lobby, and there they began work to make a hole in the wall under the window. They had torn down an iron railing to the stairway and had broken up a chair and with small sticks they first began picking away at the cement mortar. Then with the use of the huge iron bar they looscned the bricks in the wall under the' window frame. With their crude tools they made slow progress for they had worked all night and towards day had succeeded in removing several bricks on the inside.
 The officers stated that with the start they had made in another half hour a hole sufficiently large would have been made and the prisoners would have eff. fected an escape. They were fully ex. petcing to get out for they had blankets and bed clothes tied together and fas- tened to the bars of the window, ready to let themselves down to the ground.
 This is the second time within four months that a wholesale jail delivery has been attempted. Additional charges will be made against the prisoners that of defacing the jail building and at tempting to escape.
