 Perhaps one of the most remark able religious sights seen here in some time took place preceding the papal blessing when the entire congregation stood holding lighted candles in their right hands, fol- lowing the leadership of the direc- tor in prayer. All electric lights within the church were extinguish- ed. The exercises were directe dby Rev. Martin Molloy, o. P. and Rev. Phillip Bolger, O. P.
 The exercises began with the Rosary, followed by short sermon delivered by Father Molloy, and then came the Papal Blessing cere- monies. followed by Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The celebrant during Benediction was Rev. Dr. Eugene P. Cryne, pastor who was assisted by the visiting missioners and the parish priests including Rev. Bernard Foster and Rev. William Wirkus, and also by the complete staff of altar boys.

Art in Indianapolis
BY ANTON SCHERRER

THE collection of early American silver loaned by
- Yale University and now on display at the
Heron, recalls the extraordinary behavior of John
Hull on the occasion of his daughters marriage.
John Hull was the first Boston smith of whom we
have any record. native Of England, he made
master of the Massachusetts, mint-a hazardous job,
at the time because of Englands rather definite
notion to whose business it to coin money.
Hull went ahead, however, and produced the famous
Pine Tree shillings
1t was Hulrs daughter, Hannah, who was placed
in the mint scale that her weight in these shilngs
might be given her as doWry. It is fairly certain
now, that Father Hull was talked into the scheme
by his own family Be that it may, all Boston was
agog with curiosity because Hannahs bulk and
beam the talk of the town.
When the result announced, it was learned
that Hannahs dowry exactly 500 pounds or the
equivalent of only 125 pounds of flesh.
Father Hull's chicanery went even further Among
other things, he took his time to hand the
dowry. As matter of fact, he paid it after the we'd
ring-and in installments
II ME Yale collection, to be sure, has no example
of Hull's work, but it has the next best thing
salt" by Paul Revere Jr, whose work represents
second and more developed phase
Paul Revere Jr. came by his talent honestly
enough His father, one-tme apprentice of famed
John Coney made his mark smith before Paul
born. Son Paul was only 10 when his father
died and left him to run the business Immediately
Paul began running everything else in Boston, too
Quite apart from his activities patriotic smith,
he became engraver and publisher Of political car
ICONS, many of which he designed himself. He was
manufacturer of gun-powder and of church bells;
he made frames for the Copley portraits and ran
hardware store in which, among other things he
sold false teeth
He continued fooing with false teeth until he got
them perfected to the point of advertising in the
Boston Gazette In 1770 readers learned that Paul
Revere's false teeth would be not only ornament
but real help in speaking and in eating as well.
Z ARLY American silver made before 1920 can
IL hold its with the fine examples OF Eng
hsh plate. 1t betrays English influence of course
but it has merits all its Our pieces are as
whole, far simpler. They more ingenious in de-
sign definitely concerned with shape and less
with ornament They show plainly that they were
made for Use rather than for display and they have
as result beauty that stays within the scope of
its own resources
Curiously enough, Early American silver and
Early American architecture in intent and content,
had u same goal and achieved it in very much tn
same way.

ALL TAMPA SHOCKED

A T the general election the City
N Election Board reported Mayor
Chancey received 10,768 votes and
Stephens 919. But Shoemaker was
not daunted. He said the public
had not been fully aroused, and
he continue dto write about his

Tribune. His last letter was pub
lished on Nov. 81, three days be-
fore he was fatally fiogged.
Tampa was shocked by that
episode as it never had been
shocked before. There are black
incidents in the more or less re-
mote past when floggings were
common in various parts of Flori-
da. But those were mostly of the
old-style holier- than-thou punish
ments administered to moral de-
linquents.
In the first few days after the
flogging it was freely whispered
around where political handymen
congregated that these three
floggings were only the beginning
of a series that would put the
fear of God" into political and
social agitators and deter them
from attempting to interfere with
machine politics in next June's

EDITOR NAMED SHERIFF

CHORTLY after the disorderly
~ September primary Gov.
Sholtz removed Sheriff Spencer
for failude to do his duty and APP
pointed in his place Jerome r.
Mcleod, a newspaper man who
had been managing editor of The
Times.
A native of Florida in his mid
die 30s, with years of experience
as a political writer, McLeod's Sc
lection tourned out to be par
ticularly happy one.
When Poulnot returned to
Tampa aobut 4 a. m. on Sunday
after being fogged, he called
Sheriff Mcleod at his home and
told him what had happened. The
sheriff went into action. He sent
deputies to the scene of the fog
ging and obtained some valuable
pieces of evidence which are ex-
pected to figure in the trials to
come. He went quietly but dog
gedly about the business of run
ming down the f1oggers.
Mayor Chancey was in Georgia
attending his fathers funeral.
Police Chief Ellsworth said he
knew nothing about orders for the
raid. Sergt. Brown declared it
had been made on a telephone tip
that Communists we're meeting,
and that ne acted on his own re-
Sponsibility.

SINGING CHANGE MADE

A MOTHER bombshell was ex-
IN ploded when the two judges
of the local Circuit Court, Judges
Parks and Sander, delivered a
singing charge to the Grand
Jury. Denouncing the flogging
case, they said:
ct does not require this court
Uniform you that it has been
and is common talk of not a few
of our law-respecting and law
abiding citizens that both county
and city elections for several years
have generally been crooked" and
little attention paid to the law
regulating such elections.
I'm some instances, so it is said,
election officials of VIGOROUSLY
unsavory reputation were ap-
pointed to responsible places of
trust in the conduct of elections,
by those having the power of ap-
pointment; that election officials
have been corrupted by bribery;
that the issue in one campaign
was none other than that of who
would get control of the gambling
concessions or privileges within
the city and county, which are
said to be highly valuable, be-
cause of graft collected from those
conducting the gambling houses;
that officials themselves have
participated in the graft eXtorted
from these establishments; that
the take by only one set of Of
fcials amounted to $4,000 per
week.
Worst of all, it has been said
that the people of this city and
this county do not want fair,
honest and legal elections; that
our law enforcement officers, upon
whom falls the responsibility for
the lawful conduct of elections,
do not want honest elections, and
that they will not enforce the
laws relating to elections and
gambling and incident forms of
vice accompanying such violations
of law; that they have connived
at fragrant violations os UGH laws,
and corruptly employed the pow
erS of their offices to continue
themselves in Office"

MILITIA CALLED OUT

EEELING rose to fever heights.
Il w. G. Spencer, then sheriff,
called on Gov. Schultz for the mi
litia to help maintain order at the
polls, declaring that the Chancey
administration, through the Elec-
ton Board, was hiring hundreds of
special policemen under the pre-
tense of guarding the polls.
Sheriff Spencer revealed that he
himself had engaged 600 special
deputies Ito maintain order" but
said these were not enough.
Gov. Sholtz sent the Adjutant
General of the Florida National
Guard to investigate. AS result
the 116th Field Artillery was
called out for guard duty on cleo
ton day.
The primary was a farce. In
front of each of the % polling
places were crowds of armed hus-
kies and plug-uglies.
Beside the regular city police
force of 105 members, there were
1924 special policemen sworn in by
Police Chief Ellsworth. now I'M
der Indictment; Sheriff Spencer
had his 600 deputies, while some
300 soldiers patrolled the streets
in trucks, Fastening from polling
place to polling place wherever
disorders were reported.

w porters of Gov. ALT Landon
are claiming that Ogden Mills,
Secretary of the Treasury under
Hoover, has parted with his one
time chief and climbed on the
Kansan's bandWagon. When
Hoover began his political come
back last year, the inside word
in Republican circles was that he
had the moral and financial back
ing of Mills. Lowest political
temperature of the current blus-
terry winter was reached at
Springfield, ILL.,, on Lincoln's birth
day when Secretary Ickes and
Gov, Gene Talmadge met for the
first time. Outside of an icy

from the court legalizing the
antitrust statutes. Senator
Lester j. Dickinson, Iowa'S presi-
dental aspirant, was the butt of
much good-natured cloakroom
railery following the IVA deci-
sion. Dickinson is a strong foe of

WHITAKERS RUN CITY

4 FTER a bitter campaign and
IA election in which there we're
many charges of fraudulent reg
istrations, ballot-box stuffing and
repeating, Chancey was declared
nominated at the primary by this
election board, which did the
counting.
Florida's one-party primary sys-
tenn prevented effective opposition
in the general election and Chan
cey took Office as Mayor.
Since then the Whitakers have
been credited with complete con-
troll of the city government. The
older faction continued to run the
county government.
During Mayor Chancey's first
four-year term gambling contin-
ued along traditional lines, with
little interference from either city
or county government.
When Senator Whitaker had to
stand for denomination in 1884 he
was supported by the city admin
istration under his brother-in-
law, Mayor Chancey, and opposed
by the county political machine,
which backed Henry Tillman.

REWARD PUT UP

I'm Dec. z the American civil
" Liberties Union offered $1,000
reward for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of the
floggers. The next day, on his
return to the city, the Mayor or
dered Chief Ellsworth to conduct
an investigation. Two days later
Ellsworth announced that he had
investigated and that the police
were clear of blame.
On Dec. 10 the city board of
representatives offered reward of
$500.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
threatened to remove the A. F.
of L. national convention, sched-
uled to meet in Tampa next fall.
Clergymen held mass meeting
at the Municipal Auditorium. Nor
man Thomas, leader of the Social
list Party, telegraphed protests and
issued statements blaming the KIP
Klux Kdan.
In the meantime Sheriff Nc
Leod, working with State Attor-
ney j. Rex Farrior, Sholtz ap-
pointee and therefore opposed to
the Whitaker machine, and his
assistant, R. M. Huntly, began to
bring the tangled ends together.
On Dec. 16 the Hillsborough
County grand jury was called into
special session and the same day
Mayor Chancey suspended Sergt.
Brown and the other policemen
who conducted the raid. The next
day Moyor Chancey took charge
of the police department himself
and gave Ellsworth of leave of
absence.
