Jacksonville Mayor Declares He
Will Not Surrender Power of
of Office to Trustees.
JACKSONVILLE, July 26.—Mayor
Van C. Swearingen gave out a state
ment to-day regarding the trouble
now existing between himself and
the board of bond trustees of this
city over the Jacksonville police ap
pointment. He declared that while
serving his term as municipal Judge
he had seen the workings cf the po
lice committee of the bond trustees
and had discovered that this commit
tee was filing charges and trying
policemen without authority. In
speaking of this point, he said.
“Soon after I took office, in fact
it was about six days after I had
been sworn in, I heard that charges
had been filed against a policeman
and that he had been tried and sus
pended. I sent for the officer and
asked him what had taken place. He
told me and I took him to the station
where I instructed the acting chief
to put the officer back to work as he
had been illegally tried. This was
done.
"The police committee of the board
had been proceeding along similar
lines for years past. The law spe
cifically states that no one but the
Mayor can file charges. When these
charges are filed they are filed with
the entire board for the information
of the members during the trial of
the officer. In no case are they filed
with the police committee and in no
case has the police committee the
right to try an officer. This is a
practice which I Imve broken up i*nd
which they hate to quit.
Trustees ‘Up in Air.’
"After I had done this, the bond
trustees went ‘up in the air.’ They
would not stick to the laws but want
ed to usurp the Mayor’s authority
in regard to the control of the police
department. 1 blocked their game
and that is what caused the trouble.
“The trustees have the right to
control the organization of the de
partment and I have the right to use
it in enforcing the laws; but what is
the division point between th^se two
branches of authority? That is the
question.
“When I met with he police com
mittee and the chairman of the board
of bond trustees the other night, they
wanted to compromise. They agreed
that if l would meet t the station
with them twice a week they would
not do anything to which 1 might ob
ject. That sounds 'allright to those
who have not looked into the law of
the case, but I would have been very
foolish to have agreed to any such
arrangement.
Acting Fof People.
“Now, the fact is, 1 am not acting
for Van C. Swearingen, bub as the
Mayor for the people. 1 have notper-
sonal interest in tfie matter which
would cause me to want to quarrel
with anyone. That being the case,
It is up to me to do the best I can
for the people who elected me to of
fice. If I ai i to do my best for the
people I cannot afford to surrender
my power. I h&ve the power I am
contending for, that is, I believe I do,
and I will continue to exercise it un
til the lawfully constituted courts de
cide otherwise.
That brings me to the settlement
proposition. The trustees offered to
submit the matter to a board of ar
bitration. To this I would not agree
as it would be foolish to waste time
with a board which could not settle
anything. I really believ^ that the
bond trustees want to stay out ' of
court because they fear they will lose
and they would not like to see me
beat them.
Chief Roach Suspended.
“As to Chief Roach, he is suspend
ed. I have been working upon charges
against him for several days and will
have them ready to file within the
next few days, fie will then be tried
by th- board of bond trustees. I am
of the opinion that they will find
him not guilty, although I believe he
is. If they clear him there is noth
ing more for me to do in regard to the
chief unless I suspend him again and
file other charges.
"The bond trustees have been run
ning this town. They serve without
pay and have made noble sacrifices;
but that does* not warrant them in
trying to take away the power of the
Mayor, Council and everyone else.
They will not exercise the Mayor’s
prerogatives while I am in office. I
can assure you. I do not know just
when this matter will be settled, but
I suppose it will not hang fire much
longer.’’

Florida Railroad Commission Asks
U. S. Judge to Make Railroads
Obey Orders.
TALLAHASSEE. July 26 A new
turn has been taken in the Federal
Court in the emit originally Instituted
in the State Court by the Seaboard
Air Line Railway and the Tampa
Northern Railroad Company against
the Florida Railroad Commission to
enjoin the enforcement of three >r-
ders of the Commissioner*.
On demand of the Railroad Com
mission, the case was removed to the
Federal Court, and the application for
a preliminary injunction was argued
before Judges Pardee, Shelby and
Sheppard. The decislbn was in favor
of the Commissioners, the injunction
being denied.
As the latest move in the case, the
Railroad Commissioners have filed an
answer denying the essential allega
tions of the bill, and in turn asking for
an injunction restraining the two
railroad companies from further re
fusing to obey the three orders of the
Commissioners.
This is the first time the Florida
Commissioner* have called on the
Federal Court to enforce their orders,
and the outcome Is awaited with In
terest. x
Counsel for the Commissioners has
not stated whether there Is a prece
dent for his action further than to
say that the course pursued is war
ranted by good authority.
The action of the Commissioners
and their counsel in pursuing their
remedy in the Federal Court is per
haps explained by the fact that short
ly after the decision of the three Fed
eral Judges at New Orleans, in which
they sustained the Railroad Commis
sioners, the Supreme Court of Florida,
in a case involving the same points,
decided in favor of a railroad.

Glass P rates, and dismissing an in
junction, which has remained In force

JACKSONVILLE. July 26.—When
the City Council meets August 6 the
Playground Coniixils*4on will lay a
proposition before It to spend $20,000
In Improving the playgrounds of the
city. At the present time there is
but one playground and It is hot im
proved as It Phould be because of the
lack of funds.
The commission has decided to ask
the Council to provide for the estab
lishment of a regular system con
sisting of at least four parks, where
children can play under the direction
of trained instructors.
Last year tne Council gave the
commission $2,500 for playgrounds,
but this was merely enough to pay
salaries. Next year it is planned to
Inaugurate a tegular syetem, Install
modern apparatus, build shelter
houses, put in volley-ball courts, sani
tary drinking fountains, toilets and
fence the parks allotted to the work.
Figures show that last year more
than 36.000 children visited the one
playground in this city. This does
not includes the thousands of people
who turned out every Thursday even
ing for the free moving picture show
and open-air band concert.
The police department here is the
strongest friends the Playground
Commission has. The members of
the force declare that crime among
the youngsters has been materially
decreased since the opening of the
"playing park.” and they are willing
at all times to co-operate with the
supervisor In keeping order.
The laboring people are also much
pleased with tlie results. They are
strong friends of the movement and
are assisting the commission In every
way possible.
The Woman’s Club has been active
in aiding the commission. The Moth
ers’ Clubs of the city have all asked
for playgrounds In their different sec
tions of the city. The Board of Trade
and the fraternal orders of the city
have all aided In the work and all are
counted upon to lend moral influence
when the Council is asked to estab
lish playgrounds in all sections of the
city.
