enough for Chong Lee. grocer Of 1011
South Flores street. Sunday night.

SUSPECT HELD
IN DEATH Of
PRINTER

Though not fully convinced that
death was not an accident in the
case of Bill Schumacher, linotype
opertor employed by the San Antonio
Express, who was found dead late
Saturday night at the bottom of the
stairway leading to 212 IL College
street, detectives are holding the man
found sitting beside the body.
Death came, it is believed, from Il
wound on the back of the head. One
other wound found on the head ap-
peared inconsequential to investiga-
tors. ,..,. .,tlt..
Witnesses relate different versions
of the strange death of the linotype
operator. II is largely upon the
testimony of those who claim an nf-
fray preceded Schumacher's fall down
the stairway, that his companion is
lcld.. Others declare that Schumacher
accidentally fell and received the
fatal injury while rolling down the
stairs.

MIAMI NEEDS DEEP WATER
HARB0R DECLARES FORBES
By B. G. FORBES

When you come to Miami by water.
the last few miles are the hardest, and
the longest. As deep water port,
Miami has not yet grown up.
The ships plying between New York
and Miami, judging by the III. f.
Alexander, are as fine as any cross
ing the Atlantic. You get speed, COM
fort, luxury, sport, music, entertain

the fastest ship on any coast, here
or abroad.
As we neared Miami. the scene re-
minded me of Table Bay, off Cape

the Boer War. There was a forest
of masts, motley collection of
schooners. number Of steamers, all
riding at anchor, some unable TO get
into port because of insufficient depth
of water. others unable to find berth

bor. Miami manifcstly is magnet
for all sorts and conditions of tramp
ships. In tire minutes / counted
more than a hundred masts off shore.

Impression number one is that
Miami very badly needs deep water

A Miamian who has come aboard

by pointing out dredges and other

TARRYTOwN, N. Y. Jan. 49,
This is q story about man who
owns more money than any one else
in all the world. And it is a story
about milkman. So also is it the
story Of the battle of Longwood
road.
Many years ago there came into
these parts man of great promin-
ence. The village fathers were proud
to welcome him.
As years passed they pointed with
pride to the home Of John d. Rookie
Teller. No other village in all the
world WE the home Of the worlds
richest man.
,ut as years passed he bought and
he bought and he bought. All that
he looked out upon from his hill
top-or almost all--was his. Men
took Rockefeller money and moved out
of their hillside homestcads and those
homesteads melted into an ever grow
ing estate.
HOTEL DIES.
A quarter Of century ago this
trim empire had all but enveloped
the busy little community of Pocantico
Hills.
There Michael Foley owned pros
porous hotel and kept a stable OF
80 horses.
And then John ID. Rockefeller asked
the town board of Mount Pleasant
TO close a road to Pocantico Hills.
The village fathers complied with
the request-whereupon the hotel of
Michael Foley languished and all but
died. With it also the village, which
is today a shell Of it's former self.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars was
what the Rockefeller estate cost the
estate of Michael Foley. decreasing
John Folcy's patrimony by that
amount. John never forgot.
