5 D HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, C,A„ SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, mi3. Jacksonville Tampa StAugustine Miami Latest News from All Florida Jacksonville Mayor Declares He Is Not Waging a Losing Battle Against Trustees. POLICE CONTROL IS ISSUE Former Blacksmith Champion of Interests of Common People, Is Their Idol. By B. LEE SMITH. JACKSONVILLE, Sept 6.—“That the City Court of Jacksonville dis claimed jurisdiction in the suit filed by me against the Board of Bond Trustees, does not signify that I am putting up a losing light,” said Mayor Van C. Swearingen in discussing the controversy over the control of the Jacksonville police department thai has recently stirred this city. “I know I am right my conten tion and am satisfied the higher court will so hold. The law in the case is clearly defined. The Mayor has the power to dictate the policy of the police force—the oond commission having the right to employ, promote or discharge an officer. “This controversy was brought about on account of myorder to the chief of police in regard to the traf flc squad. The work of this squad is much more trying than the ordi nary patrolman, and my order was issued to relieve this burden as far as possible. The chief failed to car ry out the orders and I had intended to bring charges against him on this and other grounds. The Board of Trustees of the bond commission at tempted to force the issue at once by calling a meeting to take action. Not having the charges ready I naturally did not bring, them before the board. The board, however, took the initia tive by promoting the then acting chief to chief and adjourned. Wehn the new chief left the room I imme diately suspended him—as the law gives me the right—for. 60 days for failure to obey orders and insubor dination. The board then ordered him to continue his duties as chief, and I brought action in order to have the interpretation of the law made suffi ciently plain that all might construe it alike. Sure of His Ground. “I am sure of my ground and am willing to await the action of the higher court. Then, if the decision is in my favor, therew ill be some embarrassment on the part of th* chief and the bond commission, for the question of pay during suspension will have to be considered. “Understand me,” continued the Mayor, “I am not making a fight on the board of bond trustees, but to carry out my pledges to the people who elected me and the oath I took to enforce the law.” Mayor Swearingen is one of the most loved and despised men in Jacksonville—loved by the masses and despised by the interests who can not control him. He is a man of in domitable courage, filled with a de sire to do what, in his opinion, is right; faithful to his friends, and the idol of the common people, for whose interests he is working. His career reads like a fairy story, in that he has fought his way up in four years from a blacksmith’s anvil to Mayor of a growing and progressive city. “Durin ghis campaign it was brought to the attention of the vot ers that he had finished his educa tion with the completion of the fifth grade of the public schools. This, so far as the public schools are con cerned, was a fact, but the further fact that after the toil of the day wa* ended and he had discarded his leather apron, he took to his books under an oil lamp and dug out an education. He also had one year in the law department of Mercer Univer sity at Macon. Swearngen's one dea, even in his boyhood days, was to become a law yer, but necessity forced him to the work of a blacksmith, which trade he began in early life. As he toiled he studied. He did not neglect his trade, however, for it is an estab lished fact that Van Swearingen is not only one of the best blacksmiths in the Southern States, but is a goou engineer as well. This knowledge of engineering, in combination with his natural ability as a mechanic, gave him the opportunity to finish his legal education at a recognized college. War Brings Opportunity. It was during the Spanish-Ameri- can War that he opportunity came. The company by whom he was em ployed secured a contract to mount a large cannon at Fernandina. The task was enormous and required great skill and care. The work was turned over to Swearingen as a sub contractor, and he accomplished the difficult task to the entire satisfac tion of all parties. This gave him the necessary funds, and at the close of the war he awaited the time ;o take up his college course. It finally came and he put in one year at Mer cer, finishing with honor to himself and class. The almost innumerable nights of study after the day’s work was ended had given him learning that few students in the University had acquired. When his examination for admis sion to the bar came, he passed with credit, but his means had run out and he was not permitted to immediately gWe up his trade of blacksmith for the profession of the lawyer. He continued to work at his anvil, tak ing smaller court cases, until four years ago last October, when he dropped his hammer to take uv the gavel of Judge of the Police Court of Jacksonville, to w'hich office he ha 1 been elected by the working people of the Florida metropolis. It was during his term as judge of the Po lice Court that his real worth be came known. Appearing at times severe on the hardened criminal, to first offenders he tempered justice with mercy, and mixed good, hard common sense with the law. When the street car strike of last year came about, the strikers N iss Annie May Wi 11 iams“, °.^ below, Second Lieutenant Harold C. Daniels, U. S.

TAMPA, Sept. 6.—It was an ad venturous trip the schooner Ralph W. Eaton has Just made from British and Spanish Honduras, whence she loaded a cargo of plantains and co- coanuts for this city. The Eaton left British Honduras on June 19, but when a few miles at sea was found to be leaking so badly that she had to return for repairs. Putting out to sea again, the su percargo, or “charter party,” as the West Indian trading boats call him. became despondent and tried to com mit suicide, but was foiled. Then the Eaton began to leak again, and but for the assistance of the Carrie W. Babson, another schooner of the same line, which stood by and towed her into port, the boat would perhaps have gone down So badly she waterlogged when she reached this port that there is no change whatever of her going ba:k before the beginning of the West In dian hurricane season in October. Five of her sailors, subjects of Great Britain, were stranded here and had to appeal to the immigration author ities to send them back to Hondu ras. Big Naval Stores Company Defunct Employees of Concern at Pensacola and Elsewhere Seeking Other Positions. PENSACOLA, Sept 6.—Employees of the American Naval Stores Com pany in Pensacola are to-day seek ing and obtaining employment with other companies, and it is reported that this company, formerly consid ered the strongest in America, is about defunct. * This company some time ago sus pended operations in Pensacola, as elsewhere, but employees retained po sitions. Employees interviewed to day do not contradict the report that they are now' seeking employment elsewhere, however. were arrested on every possible pre text by order of the Board of Bond Trustees, as the story is told here, but Judge Swearingen, who knew the men and the justness of the fight they were making, released them just as rapidly as they were arrested, unless some act of violence had been com mitted, and this won for him the gratitude of the w’orkingmen of Jack sonville. It was through their efforts and votes that he was so overwhelm ingly elected at the polls as chief ex ecutive of the city. Labor Day Ovation. The ovation given him on Labor Day, w’hen he delivered the principal address, was clear demonstration of the feeling of love and gratitude the workingmen'have for him. After the address he was asked if he did not feel proud of the friendship and con fidence of such a splendid body of men. He answered: “I am one of them. They are my brothers, with whom I toiled Tor years and with whom I have lived my life. They are real friends—not because they have something they want the Mayor to do, but are friends who appreciate the efforts of others to give justice. I have never known them to ask for anything but justice. That is all they want, and that they will have as surely aB the sun shines. Organization has been the means io this end, but the fight has been hard, and there are many In this vast crowd who are martyrs—or have been—to the cause of labor and the uplift of humanity.” To show the confidence his em ployers had for Mayor Swearingen, for whom he had labored for years, and which Is one of the largest con cerns of the kind in Florida, every contract, every deed, every legal point has been placed in his hands, and they know they will be cared for. They know his sterling worth as a man and ability as a lawyer. • It Is saf eto say that the mayoral ty of Jacksonville is not the limit of political preferment for the black smith lawyer, for he has pow'er, brains and determination, and with It all is a Christian gentleman, whose every act is based on the Golden Rule, and whose every effort has been to bring about moral reforms. He is honest, sincere and the strenuous life appeals to him.
