FLORIDA Cash
TOSSED AWAY,
JUDGE finds
Flood of Money Is Lost in
BottomIeSS Pit, View
of Bash.
THEY'RE CAUTIOUS NOW
City Men Visit Many Places,
Checking on Assets of
Wild Bank.

Money invested in Florida during
the boom period has flowed, like
water, into bottomless pit.
This Is the impression Of Probate
Judge Mahlon E. Bash, after two
weeks In Florida cities along both
coasts. Richard Lowther, co-receiv-
er of the defunct j. F. Wild g. Co.
State Bank; Frank 3. Ross, attor-
ney for the receivers, and Bash in
spected properties on which the
bank has mortgages in the Miami
district.
''The money spent in Florida in
purchase of land and construction
Of buildings during the boom days
is like the vast amount of money
spent to carry on the World War"
he said. Most Of it has gone for
ever.
Brought to Senses
''The collapse Of the boom, which
dates from the Miami disaster,
brought Florida to its senses. After
the exodus of the land marks, who
traded among themselves, a period
Of reconstruction began on a safe
and sound basis.
Another set of northern in
vestors, more cautious and better
schooled in values, has appeared to
stabilize the value of securities is
sued against Florida real estate. An
owner will, in most instances, be
able to realize the amount Of the
first mortgage loans against his
real estate, but the equity which he
thought he had will, in all prob
ability, be lost. This applies to both
business properties and dwelling
houses.
IT visited every city of any con-
sequence in both coasts of southern
Florida. Every one is overbuilt and
overplatted. If Miami and its en-
virons had o house on every lot,
it would be far greater in population
than Detroit. Miami has enough
hotels to meet it's requirements for
the next twenty-five years.
Must Develop Resources
Florida must now develop its
natural resources; it must bring in
new industries to produce incomes
for the unemployed in the larger
cities and not depend on the tourist
three or four months of the year.
1t has a wonderful climate, but that
does not support fixed population.
Nothing in particular is respon-
sible for Florida's rise and fall in
real estate values. 1t was only a
case of over enthusiasm, which re-
suited in mistaken Judgment. The
owner thought the value was in his
property and the lender of money
thought the real estate was worth
twice the amount of his loan"
Judge Bash illustrated the inter-
view by showing where the Wild
bank had a first mortgage of $1,000
on a house and lot, which during
the boom days, was bought by the
owner for $22,500. The holder now
is asking $4,000 for the property,
while the actual valuation is $500.
"In cases like that, when the
property is sold, it is assured the
mortgage debt will be met" he con-
cluded.

seemed unable to do so.

The mother seemed to find solace
in the things in Edwards life that
were to be commended; his regular
attendance at Sunday school and
church; his musical ability; his
high school record and his desire
to study for the ministry.
Edward was one Of the ten rank
ing students at Central High School

ties.
Colonel Edwards said every effort
would be made to raise funds to
send Mrs. Hickman to California
so she could be with her son at his

DELPHI, Ind, Dec. 23.-When the
trial of Lloyd Kimble in Carroll Cir
cult Court here on charge of the
first-degree murder of Daniel Sink
entered upon its ninth day this
morning, it was evident there would
be no Christmas gift of life or death
for the defendant, as the state Is
still presenting testimony, mostly OF
a preliminary nature. The star
prosecution witness Mrs. Jeanette
Taylor, has not yet testified.
1t appears the case will not reach
the jury before late next week.
There will be no session Of court
Sunday or Monday, and it Is likely
not more than g. halliday session
Saturday.
Walter H. Linton, a neighbor of
Mrs. Taylor, has testified that Kim
BILE came to the Taylor home a week
after Sinks death and conversed
with the woman for half an hour.
Joseph Salisbury and son Earl,

stroyed Sinks home last August and
Of seeing his body seated in a chair
after the home had practically
burned down.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Nearly
every night, as New Yorks theater

dragged him into the street and
were going to kill 'em.
IT was scared, but I ran out and
yelled for help so loud they ran
after me. A great big slim guy
chased me through the street. I
fell down in the mud and ne fell
over me, but I got up first and
ran to the river, jumped in and
got away. The big, slim guy
couldn't swim!
"a man on the other side kept
me over night. The next day 1
had to swim back. There was
blood in places in the street, and
I heard people crying. Then I
found my home. was so happy.
So were my mother and father.
She cooked a big supper for us.
We had soup and bread"
TN Russia the boys father was a

stories of long, weary nights
baking bread for soldiers. While
his classmates are undisturbed
Isaac has the recollection of bat

shots ever in his mind.
Which side did your father
take in the fights, Isaac?"
Neither. Both were no good"
he said. almost sullenly. Once,
when my father was baking bread
for the Bolsheviki, another army
came and drove 'em out. Then
we had to stay up all night bak-
