FLORIDA LEGISLATORS
Lobbyists Are Knocked
Cocked Hat—Assembly
Progressive
into
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 26.—The
legislature begins upon its fourth week
with the members settling down to the
routine with an accustomedness that
betokens good work for the balance of
the session.
Those who have observed legislative
sessions know that it generally requires
a period of flamboyaney on the part of
some and quietude on the part of others
before affairs reach their sane level.
The first few days of the session are al
ways taken up with debate on the
number of committee clerks and the
number of journals to he printed, ac
companied with much speech-making
and numerous resolutions that in the
end amount to nothing, for legislatures,
like human beings, are bound to be jusv
about the same and no one is any great
improvement on the other—though in
terested parties may make claim that
such is the case.
The result of this session’s attempt at
economy to begin with is that the
usual number of clerks are being em
ployed, and the usual number of jour
nals are being printed and perhaps
more bills than ever are being printed:
The question is one that has two
sides, as a matter of course. There
are always some members who insist
upon holding expenses down to a point
that would forbid any sort of adequate
service, and this is plainly contrary
to public policy. In the matter of
employing committee clerks there is
without doubt the semblance, at least,
of undue waste. There are many clerks
who do nothing: they get on the pay
roll for political reasons, and since
they know that they have thus achiev
ed their positions they are not unduly
active or energetic.
There is no certain criterion by which
to measure the work of legislatures, but
making a random guess it may be sta
ted with some surety that this one is
not worse than others have been and
by the same token it may be some
better.
INTENSELY PROGRESSIVE.
The house is intensely progressive,
after the political idea of the day. The
most of them are young fellows who
are anxious to be in line with the run
of promotions in the political vineyard,
and since we have a progressive presi
dent at Washington and the trend of
public thought is in that direction they
are losing no opportunity to put them
selves on record as being thus aligned.
One of the first things done, which,
by the way, was one of the first blun
ders made, was the criticism of the re
ports -sent out from Tallahassee con
cerning their daily doings. It is some
what generally agreed among news
paper men who are entitled to be
judges of such |matters that the press
service is generally better this year
than has been the rule. The reason for
this is obvious.
Never before have so many papers
been represented, and never before have
they been organizd ufedr a system
which makes it certain that all papers
subscribing for the service shall re
ceive the same. If some of them do
not see proper to publish what is sent
them that cannot be charged up to the
representatives.
Speaker Farris, who drew the resolu
tion. and Representative Floyd, who in-
. tr.od.uced it. v saw .their error and were
quick to apologise. Floyd made no bones
cf admitting that he had aligned hirhself
with the progressives because he saw
therein *a better chance for publicity
than otherwise might have been his
chance, and that the introduction of the
resolution was merely in line with that
policy.
The point of the controversy was that
the representative of the Times-Union,
who was the one to receive the censure,
had not appared on the floor of the house
at the press table a single time when
the offensive resolution was presented,
and hence it followed that any con
demnation of the Times-Union represen
tative was a censure of the entire press
crowd. This merely shows how far
awry a political opinion may go.
Seeking to punish a foe of progressive
Democracy as they viewed it .they also
leveled their censure upon the entire
press of the state. When this matter
was brought to the attention of the
speaker, be was instant -in appearing
upon the floor and making proper apol
ogies. Y
SHORT AND LUNDY
TO FACE TRIAL SOON
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ALBANY. Ga.. April 26.—Sheriff
Potts, of WdOrth county, was in the
city Friday morning. He came to sum
mons witnesses' for a case to be tried
in Worth superior court, which con
venes at Sylvester next Monday.
Asked whether any trials of unusual
importance were to be held during the
coming term of that court. Sheriff Potts
stated that there were none out of the
ordinary except that of Alva F. Short
* and Linwood Lundy, the former ac
cused of killing Douglas Bass at Syl
vester on the 19th of the present month,
and the latter of being an accessory to
the killing.
PEEPLES AND REMBERT
WANT PALMETTO OFFICE
Two Candidates Have For
mally Entered Contest for
Governorship
(Special Disptach \o The Journal.)
Columbia, S. C., April 26.—George
R. Reinbert, leader of the Blease
forces iu the house of represen
tatives, and Attorney Generaly Thos.
H. Peeples are candidates for Gover
nor in 1914 and both are bidding for
the mantle of Governor Cole. L. Blease,
who will that year be in the race
for the seat in the United States senate
now held by E, D. Smith.
Mi. Rembert came to the front in
the legislative session ofl912 when the
anti-Blease forces were arrayeiL in bit
ter antagonism to the administration.
He stood for his chief through thick
and thin and lead the faithful little
band of less than a score who lined
up behind the administration of Gov
ernor'; Blease.
Last summer the opponents of
Bleaseism centered their flght in Rich
land county on Mr. Rembert. But in
spite of a well organized and master
ful campaign against him Mr. Rem
bert was re-elected on the first ballot.
LEADER IN HOUSE. \
In the last session of the present
house Mr. Rembert again assumed the
leadership of the administration forces,
although a break between himself and
his chief came near being perfected
in the closing hours of the session.
With the prestige of successful pol
itical battles behind him, and having
become widely known over the state
through his closeness to Governor
Blease Mr. Rembert, it is well known,
is an avowed candidate for Governor
in 1914 and looks to inherit the greater
part, if not the entire, political follow
ing of the Governor. When he was
making a speech at Fort Mill in York
county last week several of the prom
inent Bleasites in that section came
to Mr. Rembert and told him they
looked to him to run for governor in
1914. ‘We are going to send Coley
to the Senate and we want you to
run and we will sure elect you,” they
said.
PEEPLES WON HIS RACE.
Thos. H. Peeples, the present at
torney General, who defeated J. Fraser
Lyon last summer largely because he
had the support of Governor Blease,
is also a candidate for Governor and
expects to fall heir to the administra
tion vote. Before entering the office
of Attorney General Mr. Peeples served
a term in the lower House from Barn
well county. “I am the people’s can
didate just as my name is Peeples.'
he often said on the stump last sum
mer. and he made a good impression
for he avoided all partsionship and bit
terness.
However others are bidding for the
Blease influence. Former United
States Senator John L. McLaurin, at
present the State Senator from Marl
boro county, is looked upoji as a cer
tain candidate for Governor and he is
said to be feeling out the strength
which he can hope to command from
the administration leaders.
He is an old campaigner and one who
is capable of sizing up political, omens.
His friends think that this is the log
ical time for him to come forward
as a candidate and vindicate himself,
he having been driven from public
life by Senator B. R. Tillman, after he
went into the “Commercial Dem
ocracy.”
There are nearly a dozen candidates
already who have entered the lists to
contend for the seat of Governor
Blease and more are expected to throw
their hats into the ring.
Poor Boy in Hovel
Dying of Consumption
Visited by Mrs. Wilson
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 26.—The sym
pathy and charity of Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson was demonstrated, it leaked out
today, by an unannounced and unos
tentatious visit a few days ago by the
“first lady of the land” direct from
the White House to the bedside of a
poor boy dying of tuberculosis.
Dr. Cary Grayson, naval surgeon,
and aide to the president, who spends
spare moments caring for the sick of
the poor, told the president’s wife of
a particularly distressing case while
discussing the remedy which Dr. F. F.
Friedmann claims he has discovered
for the cure of tuberculosis. Dr. Gray
son said he knew the little fellow was
in the last stages of consumption and
though there was little hope he was
trying to prolong his life.
Mrs. Wilson was touched. Collecting
a bunch of spring flowers from the
garden of the president, she accompa
nied Dr. Grayson in a White House
automobile to the home of the unfor
tunate boy in the poor district of the
national capital. Neighbors today
spread the news of the visit.

URGE DHL ARBITRATION
Maintain That United States
Is Morally and Legally
Bound to Arbitrate Tolls
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Both In
set speeches and discussions, speakers
at today’s meeting of the American So
ciety of International Law maintained
that the United States was under moral
;.u well as international obligation to
submit the ranama canal tolls contro
versy to arbitration. It also was held
by several of the speakers that congress
should at once repeal the tolls exemp
tion act and submit the subject to a
diplomatic negotiation.
I-Iannis Taylor, former minister to
Spain, declared that upon the settle
ment of the controversy hinged the
century-old friendship between the
United States and Great Britain, and
voiced an earnest plea to congress to
repeal the tolls act to permit diplo
matic negotiations for an amicable ad
justment of the question.
Amos S. Hershey, professor of inter
national law at the University of In
diana, was another speaker who desired
to see the question submitted tq arbi
tration.
“In view of the long and honorable
history of the United States,” declared
Thomas Raeburn White, of Philadel
phia, “as a leader in the movement for
the substitution of a system of interna
tional judicature for the present United
States methods of settling international
disputes, it is particularly appropriate
‘that the opportunity should have been
presented the nation to establish a, pre
cedent. Tt would be unworthy of the
United States to rely upon what must
be deemed a technical reason for de
clining to arbitrate, and it is to be
hoped that the state department will
not persist in the attitude which has
been assumed and will embrace he op
portunity of creating a precedent sus
taining the proposition that it is not
necessary in international law that in
jury should actually be suffered before
a justiciable action arises.”
A letter of similar tenor from the late
Prof. John Westlake, of London, was
read, but he maintained that it was
necessarjf “that an injury be actually
sustained before a justiciable action
arises.”
The discussion that followed was
participated in by Edmund F. TraV>ue,
of Louisville, Ky; Prof. N. B. Harris,
of Chicago, and General Peter C.
Haynes, U. S. A., retired.
The following officers for next year
were elected:
President, Senator Elihu Root. oT
New York; vice presidents. Chief Jus
tice White. Justice William R Day,
George C. Knox, Andrew Carnegie, Jo-
septf I-I. Choate, John W. Foster, George
Gray, William H. Taft, William W.
Marrow, Richard Olney, Horace Porter,
Oscar S. Strauss, Jacob M. Dickinson
and William J. . Bryan.
James Brown Scott was re-elected
secretary and Chandler P. Anderson,
treasurer. Tonight a banquet closed
the meeting.
Secretary Lane Will Again
Try to Persuade Georgian
to Accept Place
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 26.—Ful
ler E. Callaway, of LaGrange, is in
Washington for an interview with Sec
retary of Interior Franklin K. Lane, who
wants him to be Indian commissioner,
Mr. Callaway stopped heer tonight en
route to Georgia from a tour of Europe
and Egypt. The trip did him a vast
amount of good, and he is in the best of
health.
It is unlikely that Secretary Lane will
be able to induce Mr. Callaway to accept
the Indian commissionership. The Geor
gian stated tonight that his business
interests demand all of his time, and he
cannot make the -sacrifice that his ac
ceptance of the position would entail.
Secretary Lane today, discussing Mr.
Callaway, declared that he still had
hopes of inducing him to enter govern
ment service. He regards Mr. Callaway
as admirably fitted to discharge the du
ties of Indian commissioner.
PRAYERS THROUGHOUT
U. S. FOR NEW CHINA
L
ALL
-PROGRESSIVES
Although Sec, Redfield En
dorsed Evans,' of Illinois,
President Wont’ Appoint
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, April 25.—Indicative
of President Wilson’s unyielding deter
mination to have progressives only in
this administration was the disclosure
today that former Representative Lin-
don Evans, of Chicago? has been re
jected as a fit appointee for commis
sioner of corporations.
Mr. Evans had the support of no
less a person than Secretary Redfield,
oi the department of commerce, to
which the bureau is attached. Mr
Redfield was a colleageu of Evans in
th > last congress, and one of the first
recommendations that Secretary Red
field sent along was that of his friend.
Now, the bureau of corporations can
be made an institution of much good,
or it can be rendered inoccuous, all de
pending onthe caliber of the eommis-
siner. It is a place that requires a
live wire.
The president, it is understood, set
inquiries afoot about Mr. Evans and in
consequence informed his cabinet ad
viser t’.at he was convinced his man
was not progressive enough for the job.
Mr. Evans came to town some weeks
ago, expecting to go to work, he even
severed his law office connections in
Chicago according to his friends. Last
night he packed up and went back to
Chicago.
There is another case in the depart
ment of commerce similar to the fore
going. It involves, as has already
been stated, the appointment of Allan
L Thurman, grandson of Senator Thur
man ai.:T brother-in-law of Representa
tive Underwood, as solicitor of the de
partment.
The recommendation that Mr. Thur
man be appointed originated in the de
partment of justice, and Secretary Red
field concurred. Mr. Thurman gave
u? his connection in Columbus and
came on to Washifigton.
Some alleged statements of his, show
ing that he preferred the good old
ways in preference to the progressive
i methods, were called to the attention
of the White House, and a stop order
was puon his appointment.
Since then the Ohio representation
here has gone to the front for Mr.
Thurman and is in a fair way of re
moving the objections of his appoint
ment. It is explained that the utter
ances attributed to him were really
spoken by his faher.

M’REYNOLDS FAVOR
EXTENSION JO U. P.-S. P.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Attorney
General McRevnolds today told the su
preme court that an extension of time
to July 1, for dissolving the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific merger might
be to the public’s interest, but he “em
phatically” opposed an extension beyqnd
that date or the granting of discre
tionary power to the loA r er court to
extend the time.
The attorney general’s position was
stated in a brief in reply to the request
of th*e Union Pacific attorneys for mod
ification of the mandate so as to use the
lower court to extend the time for sub
mission of a plan of dissolution.
“This cause has been before the
courts for more than five years and the
public is entitled to early relief in har
mony with the provision of the statute
which declares that such cases shall be
given precedent over others and in ev
ery way expedited,” the brief states.

BLEASE PIDDLES LIST
BF
E
Green, the Affinity of Mrs,
Carson, and Paige, His Ac
complice in Crime, Freed
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA, S. C., Apri 26.—E. D.
Green and John L. Paige, two young
"Whit^ men, of Spartanburg county,
who murdered Ben Carson while he was
lying asleep because of the love which
Green bore Mrs. Fannie Carson, wife of
Ben Carson, were today paroled by
Governor Blease, on the condition of
good behavior. Mrs. Fannie Carson,
who engineered the plot by which her
husband was foully put out of the
way, was pardoned by former Governor
Ansel.
The crime happened in Spartanburg
county eighteen years ago and was one
of the most cold-blooded ever perpe
trated in South Carolina. Ben Carson,
with his wife, was living on his farm
in upper Spartanburg county. He was
a young and respected farmer and his
wife was a pretty and attractive wom
an. With them boarded E. D. Green,
a young school teacher, and John L.
Paige, another young white man, lived
on the Carson place.
Green was a handsome young man,
polished and with courtly manners, and
he and Mrs. Carson were much in each
other’s company, their friendship soon
ripening into love. Ben Carson, all un
suspecting, was going about his daily
tasks unmindful of the plot which was
hatching in his own house. Mrs. Car-
son and young Green soon became so
enamored of each other that they began
plotting how to get rid of Ben Car-
son.
Once Mrs. Carson tried to poison her
husband, but failed. It was then that
she resorted to sterner and more cer
tain methods.
Consulting with Green, her paramour,
and calling in the aid of Paige, the plot
was hatched. One quiet moonlight
night Mrs. Carson arose from her bed,
left her husband, Ben Carson, sleeping
peacefully by her side, and went out
into the yard. A window had been left
open, and when Mrs. Carson was safely
outside Green and Paige silently stole
through the window and into the room
where the sleeping husband lay. While
one brained the innocent man with an
axe, the other cut his throat with a
razor to make assurance doubly certain,
and Ben Carson was foully done to
death.

Over-Night Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy by Morning
It is only natural that the simplest of
ailments should be the most general,
and so we have a whole nation suffer
ing from constipation and indigestion,
for they are closely allied. But com
mon as constipation is many people
do not seem to know they have it.
They will complain of headache, drow
siness or biliousness, all unconscious
of the cause, of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass a day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morning
relief will come, without disturbance
from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly
in such emergencies, some of them for
merly chronic invalids who have suf
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr. A. B. Danner, 326 Riley St., Har
risburg, Pa., says: “Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trouble.
I now eat anything I want and sleep
well.” Many others will tell you that
they have tried most things recom
mended for this purpose but have
found Syrup Pepsin the only one al
ways reliable. A bottle can be ob
tained at any drug* store for fifty
cents or one dollar, the latter size

CORDELE, Ga., April 26.—J. G.

twelve years of my time on this one disease and
handling in the meantime nearly half a million
cases of this dreadful disease. Now, I do not
care what all you have used, nor how many
doctors have told you that you could not be
cured—all I ask is just a chance to show you
that I know what I am talking about. If you
will write me TODAY, I will send you a FREE
TRIAL of my mild, soothing, guaranteed treat
ment that will convince you more In a day than
1 or anyone else could in a montn’s time. If you
are disgusted and discouraged, just give me a
chance to prove my claims. By writing me today
I believe you will enjoy more real comfort than
you bad ever thought this world holds for you.
Just try it aud you will see I am telling you
the truth.
