70 TAKE AN INVENTION N rLoKIDA
Boston Evening Transcript

So u
Under the auspices of the Florida State Cham
Der Of Commerce, there will be held in April a
meeting which has been given something new in
convention names. This is to be q sFlorida- Takes
Inventory Congress-" The Chambersof Commerce
has commendable purpose in view. 1t explains
that because Florida has operated on such stu
pendous scale, there is considerable misapprehen-
sion both at home and abroad concerning not only
what has actually happened, but as to the sgni-
canoe of those happenings" Hence the wisdom
of pausing and taking time to find out where the
State sis at"
Floridians realize that much work must be
done before the new Florida Is fairly on an en-
during basis The State Chamber of Commerce
says: at has long been apparent to the discerning
that Florida could not always continue to be land
in which terminals were continually congested,
where embargoes were the rule rather than the
exception, where the ever,increasing hosts of vis
tors continually outran the facilities available for
their entertainment, where real estate prices
reached new heights with each new day, where
buildings were year behind their schedule
land counted by thousands as an Ell Dorado where
fortunes could be made over night without effort
1t is added that $50 far as Florida is concerned
the gold rush is over and placer mining is at an
end. The future lies with the workers, the build
ers and the investors : That being the. case, the
State Chamber would begin it's inventory with a
census of the real friends of the State the devel
opers as distinct from the gamblers. Then comes
list of some of the things that itwould be we'll to
know about the outlook for the future. What is
Florida's situation financially? How much has ac-
tually been invested in building operations during
the past three years? What are the building pros
poets for 1926? What are Flori9a's present
transportation needs? Her Industrial possibilities?
What is the best method of locating Che right sort
of people on the right sort of farms? In what
manner can Florida best emphasize the fact that
the future lies in the hands Of Che honest investor
and worker and not in the hands of the speculat-
i've plunger? 80 .i.s4s
There are other questions of the same sort.
If the State Chamber of Commerce finds the cor
rect answers it will have given to 1real progress
in the Southern State distinct Impetus Let it
be hoped that the TakesInventory Congress will
take It in satisfactory. measure and thst, it will
devise means of making the real Florida properly
understood throughout the length and breadth Of
the land. j

Judge DOak Hands
Out Stiff Sentences
To Waldo County Men

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Belfast, Me-, July 9. Reckless
and drunken drivers may expect no
mercy from municipal Judge Garlic
ton Doak, as. two Waldo County
men found out today when hailed
before him. Owen Z. Miller of
Brooks was sentenced to four
months in Jail and fined 800 and
costs for driving intoxicated and 80
days with 5000 and costs for reck-
less driving, while Ivan Prentiss of
Troy was sentenced to four months
and a fine of $500 and costs for
drunken driving. Both plead not
guilty and appealed, Miller giving
surities for $500 and Prentiss for
$1,000.
Witnesses in the Miller case tes-
titled that he tried to run down
State Highway Inspector j. Austin
McKeen of Belfast who made an at
tempt to stop his speeding the night
before the Fourth in Brooks. Ac-
cording to the testimony Miller
drove directly towards McKeen who
blew his whistle and held up his
hand, and Miller after swerving his
car and passing him, turned about
and drove back, attempting, so Wit
nesses believed, to run him down.
The number of the coupe in which
three other men were driving with
him was taken but it was the prop
erty of another and this delayed
Millers arrest until his identity
could be ascertained. He offered no
defense at today's hearing.

FARMER ACCUSES
BROTHER OF Staying
BURNHAM IN VERMONT

Barre, VT, July 9.-(P)-Silas La
pan, farmer and horse trader, was
named by his brother Fred today as
the slayer of Ivan Burnham in the
latter's farmhouse in East Calais
last Sunday. Burnham was found
dead from a terrific beating and the
Japan brothers were arrested as sus-
poets two days later.
Attorney J. Ward Carver tonight
revealed Fred Japan as the author
of an alleged confession made public
earlier in the day. He said that
details of Fred's statement had been
confirmed by examination of the
farmhouse, including the discovery
of Silas's bloodstained coat where
Fred said he and his brother hid 1t
after burning the trousers. Accord
ing to t'red's story the boys had sup
per together and a game Of check
ers, after which the talk was of a
trade. He said he left the house and
came back to find Silas and Burn
ham in a struggle. He tried vainly
to part them, and after the fight
helped Silas put Burnham to bed,
after which they disposed of Silas's
bloody garments. 1t is expected that
formal charges will be placed
against the Lapans at preliminary
hearing early next week.

Budlong Was Continual
Tease, Wife Testifies
FRENCH DEPUTIES
BACK GOVT, IN PLAN
TO STABILIZE FRANC

Paris. July 1O-P)-The chamber
of deputies voted confidence in the
government at an early hour this
Saturday morning after Finance
Minister Caillaux had insisted that
the governments plan for stabilizing
was 262 for the government to 247
against.
Before the vote on the govern
ments prepared resolution Of conf
dence, the chamber defeated So
cialist resolution, calling for capl-
tai levy, by a vote of 324 to 203.
1--WE will ask parliament to ratify
the war debt agreements" said
Finance Minister Caillaux, replying
to an Interpolation in the chamber
Of deputies tonight.
Il am now negotiating with Lon
don and I will introduce another
bill soon," he added. I'VE are nego-
tiating with Washington; we are
seeking to ease the situation. That
is clear, precise"
In dramatic manner M. Caillaux
exclaimed:
1T is impossible to stabilize the
franc without foreign credits and
those who seek solution for sta
bilization without going outside the
country, will have to find new
finance minister"
Premier BRAND then rose and de-
clared that he shared NJ. CaillauX' S
opinion.
Andre Tardieu, French high COM
missioner to the United States dur
ing the world war, took long await
ed part in the preliminary financial
debate at tonight's session of the
chamber. when he declared that all
efforts by the allies in the course of
the peace conference to bring up the
war debt question met with firm re-
fusal from the United States govern
ment.
1t was nearly midnight when NJ.
Tardieu made his remarks. He read
a letter from the United States gov
eminent to show that it had refused
absolutely to allow the question of
war debts to be discussed at the
peace conference. He said that the
American government had even de-
clared if the question was pursued
by the allies all credits to then. 10y
the United States would be with
drawn
M. Tardieu summarized the loans
contracted with the United States
in wartime. He declared they were
made in conformity with the law
authorizing liberty loans and that
without this France could not have
pursued her efforts.
He thought, however that distinc-
ton ought to be made between
money borrowed before the armistice
and the money advanced afterward

This was the last of SO holes of

Both had streaks of hard luck with

perhaps for the first time in history.
Debate was silenced amid turbu-
lent scenes in the ordinarily sedate
British upper house last night in or

has now become law, increasing the
working day of coal miners from
seven to eight hours. The disorders
Commons.
Debate on the third reading kept
the peers in session longer than
their usual four hours and some Of
them became impatient. At last the
Marquis of Salisbury, lord privy seal
and leader of the House moved clos
ure. on the ground that prolonga-
ton of debate was an abuse of privi
lege. Critics of the bill protested
and Laborite commoners who We're
listening shouted -four hours for
you; eight for the MINER" The
Laborites were ordered removed.
There were further protests but
the closure motion carried "A to 4
and the third reading of the bill was
carried without record vote. An
official called the "Black Rod then
summoned members of the House of
Commons to the House of Lords to
hear royal assent given to the bill.
Following an ancient custom, the
doors were slammed in the face of
the Black Rod when he approached
the Commons, but were reopened
despite protests of Laborite COM
moners in response to three knocks
The Black Rod delivered his message
to the speaker but it was inaudible
in the uproar of protests from the
Laborites and efforts to Slesce the
protests.
In the House of Lords the uproar
continued with shouts of shame"
"Contemptibly meant" and 1T IS a
murder BILL" but the royal assent
was read and the bill became law.
There was further excitement as
the Commoners returned from the
House of Lords and much shouting
and pushing. Ernest Bird, Conser-
vative. thought he had been lnsulted
by J. p. Gardner, Laborite, and
struck him blow in the body which
Gardner afterwards said was not
very hard. Later the two talked it
over in the smoking room, agreed
there had been misunderstanding,
shook hands and returned to tie
House side by side.
Earlier in the Commons the mem
bers were brought to a monetary
hush when Jack Jones, fiery Labor
lite, shouted twice at Lady Asto-
that she was a liar. The House be.
came silent in amazement and then
there were calls upon him to with
draw the remark. which he Gid with
an apology. He substituted for
liar" the phrase acknowledged
inexactitude."
