System Bill Passes
(Continued from First Page)
rltely postponed. So were the substi
tute bills, of which there were two.
i The MacWUliams bills providing: for
Jhe . reneral revenue, the bill being
Identical with that which was worked
but two years ao when MacWUliams
was chairman of the finance and tax
ation committee, but whose bill died
on the senate calendar, was made the
special order for tomorrow.
SILVER SERVICE BILL.
' The bill for a $4,000 silver service
appropriation for the battleship Flor
ida, the amount to be supplemented by
popular svbscrlptlon to make up the
full $10,000, passed the senate and
wllJ ro to the governor for approval.
The vote was 15 to 11.
FLORIDA ROOM SUPPORTED.
. Representative Wall's bill for an ap
propriation to support th Florida
room at the Confederate mu3nm In
Richmond also passed the senate,
NO FEES FOR STATE OFFICERS.
Mr. Rivers of Colvwnlla, 'ntroduced
a measure which is designed to reduce
all state house officer to . salary
basis strictly. From the recent Inves
tigation !t appears that certain offi
cials receive fees in addition to their
salaries, which are authorized by law.
In his bill, which was presented this
morning:, Mr. Rivers cites the Bection
of the constitution, which forbids
such practice, and proposes that all
state house officers, with the excep
tion of the governor, shall be paid an
annual salary of $3,500, and that all
fees and perquisites be turned Into the
state treasury.
THE DISTINGUISHED GUESTS.
v Among the prominent citizens from
various portions of the state who are
in Tallahassee, Interested in legisla
tion of one kind and another, are: J.
M. Barrs, DeWitte Gray. John L. Dogr-g-ett.
John E. Hartrldge. Ion I Farris,
of Jacksonville; E. I Wart roan, mem
ber of the board of control, , of Crtra;
Otis L. Parker and Frank I Hemming-,
of Ft. Pierce.
NO REAPPORTIONMENT.
The house tonight defeated String
er's proposed constitutional amend
ment providing- for reapportionment of
representation In the legislature, by a
vote of 3S navs to S3 yeas. The house
passed Angle's bill establishing a
state board of wnbalmers, aiso a bill
making It a misdemeanor for hotels
and boarding houses to fail to screen
dining; rooms.
GOVERNOR LACKED DISCRETION.
General indignation is being ex
pressed ,t tbe lack of discretion ex
ercised by the governor in ordering
bacV to TnilnusAsee for burial the six
negroes who were lynched near Lake
City Sunday. It was apprehended,
and reasonably ao, that the negroes
become Incited over such events, and
last ivisht a meeting was held by the
negroes In Tallahassee at one of the
Utter iy Wretched
Kervduc Prostration Long Endured
Svforo Srarctedy was Found.
Miss Minerva Reminder, Upper Bern.
Pa, writes: "For several years I had
nervous prostration, and was utterly
wretched. I lived on bread and beef
tea because my stomach would not re
tain anylMnsr else. I took many rem
edies, but obtained no relief until I
took Hood's Sarsaparilla, when I began
to gain at once, Am now cured."
Pure, rich blood makes good, strong
nerves, and this is why Hood's Sarsa
parilla, which purifies and enriches the
blood, cures so many nervous diseases.
Get it today in usual liquid form or
chocolated tablets called Sareatabs.
locf; Cheches, is said, for the purpose
of having a "big" funeral over the
bodies today. The governor was In
formed of It early this morning and
very discreetly made amends by hav
ing an earlier funeral. The six coffins
were taken to the city cemetery at 10
o'clock this morning and a negro min
ister from .Lloyds presided at the
grave and pronounced the burial ser
vice. There were about one hundred
negroes present, but there was no
demonstration of any kind. Tbe un
dertaker was armed and he was at
tended by a number of armed depu
ties. Senator Henderson's bill providing
that the governor be authorized to of
fer a reward of five thousand dollars
for the arrest with proof to convict
the lynchers passed the senate this
morning by a vote of 17 to 10. Sen
ators McMulIen and Masscy voted in
the negative, explaining that they
were in favor of the reward being of
fered but opposed the measure be
cause they adjudged it to be in viola
tion of the constitutional provision
that the cost of criminal trials be paid
by the counties in which the crimes
were committed. This objection came
about through the insertion of the
Cone amendment, which provided that
the state of Florida should bear the
expense of the prosecution In the
event the lynchers were brought to
trial. The lynching occurred in Sena
tor Cone's county, Columbia, and he
took the position that it was unfair
for the county to pay the expense of
a prosecution which would probably
entail an expenditure of thousands of
dollars, while the county and the coun
ty people had nothing whatever to do
with the crime.
HISTORICAL BILL PASSES.
The bill making an appropriation of
$6,000 for the employment of a per
son skilled in such work to collect the
historical data pertaining to the state
which may be found in the records at
"Washington, to make two copies of the
same and return, the same to the
state, one for the Florida Historical
Society and one for the state library,
passed the senate by a vote of 22 to
2. This is the first step in the direc
tion of forming a state library. This
session of the legislature has placed
itself on record as being the most far
sighted in this respect of any that
have yet convened m the history of
the state. Florida has no state library
but under the Flournoy bill which
was passed and has received the ap
proval of the governor, a building is
to be erected which provides for the
state supreme court, the state railroad
commission and a state library. The
bill which passed this morning will
probably receive the approval of the
governor and may be considered a
companion measure to the other men
tioned. It passed the house some days
ago.
WEST END FIRE
ATTRACTS CROWD
A considerable crowd was attracted
to an early morning fire which oc
curred shortly before 1 o'clock this
morning, the blaze being at 520 Fourth
street. The house, which was a double
tenant house. one side of which was
occupied by a negro family, waa con
siderably damaged.
The house is owned by the Waters
estate, and was damaged by fire a few
months ago.

ADMIRALS YOUNG AND WARD
LEFT YESTERDAY FOR THAT
CITY AND 300 SAILORS WILL GO
ON 7:30 TRAIN.
Admiral "Ward and Admiral Young
left yesterday morning on the 11:30
train for Mobile, and about 300 blue
jackets, accompanied by some other
officers, will leave this morning at 7
o'clock for that city to participate in
the bl-centennial celebration in that
city.
It was the Intention of the officials
of the Alabama city to secure the bat
tleships now in this harbor to partici
pate in the celebration, and a number
of representative citizens from that
city came to Pensacola a day or so
ago in the hope of obtaining the per
mission of the admiral to take the
vessels there, but, on account of the
condition of the Mobile harbor. Ad
miral Ward would not give his con
sent to take the battleships to that
city, but consented to furnish the men,
provided the city would defray their
expenses.

BEING BUILT
IN THE SOUTH
NO LESS THAN 25,000 MILES IM
PROVED IN THE SOUTH WITHIN
A PERIOD OF FOUR YEARS. .
That no less than 25,000 miles of
road were improved throughout the
south In the short period from 1904
to 1909, was asserted by Logan "Waller
Page, director of the United States of
fice of public roads, in an Interesting
address before the National Good
Roads Association, at the convention
held at Birmingham, Ala., May 23-26.
1911.
The additional miles . of road that
have been Improved make a total of
improved mileage of 42,280, or 6.67 per
cent of all roads in the south.
"From this," said Mr. Page in his
address, "it will be seen that during
the brief period of five years, the
south has increased the mileage of its
improved roads by practically 100 per
cent, and this during what migbt be
termed a transition period In the ad
ministration of its road affairs.
"One of the patent results of these
reforms, and one which gives promise
of greater progress in the future, is
the Interest and enthusiasm which
has been aroused in the subject of
road improvement in the south. That
this enthusiasm is of a substantial
character is evidenced by the fact that
more funds have been raised by taxa
tion and bond Issues for expenditure
during 1911 than ever before.
"At the present date, there is avail
able for expenditure throughout the
sixteen southern states, the sum of
$40,652,000. or $59 per mile, which is
practically double the expenditure of
1904. There will be, however, other
large funds available during the year,
as many counties are agitating, and
will, no doubt, vote large bond Issues
for road improvement. It is further
shown that the south is keeping pace
with other sections of the country in
the matter of road improvements, by
the fact that practically one-third of
all funds available for expenditure on
roads during 1911 are available in the
sixteen southern states, while In 1904
the other states of the union expended
practically four times as much as was
expended In the south.
"Conditions In the south require
road improvement more urgently than
In any other sections of the country,
for the reason that the roads are sub
jected to more continuous heavy
traffic during the winter months, and,
as they are nearly always wet at this
season, they cut up very badly and
become impassable. In order to have
good, hard roads during this period. It
is necessary that they be properly
graded, drained and surfaced. In the
north, conditions are different. There,
the roads are partially protected with
Ice and snow most of the time during
the winter months, which affords a
good, smooth surface over which
traffic may pass.
"To offset this advantage, however,
the roads of the south can be Im
proved more cleaply than those of the
north. In the south, labor is cheaper,
and convict labor can be utilized, and
the road-building season Is longer.

London, May 23. The Gorman em
peror and empress reached London
Monday, May 15, for a visit of several
days with their royal cousin, King
George V. The finest suit in Bucking
ham palace was prepared for the dis
tinguished relatives, and a number of
t r .
entertainin i arranged ' for
them. The J . Connaught and
Prince Arthur li.ci them at Port Vic
toria, and King George and Queen
Mary greeted them on their arrival at
Victoria station. The principal event
of their stay was the unveiling of the
Queen Victoria memorial on Tuesday.
Also, a cheaper type of road, in most
cases, can be built In the south, as
sand-clay roads can be constructed,
these answering -all the ordinary traf
fic requirements, and costing only
about' one-tenth as much as macadam
or other roads suitable to northern
conditions.
"Moreover, the roads of the south
are not subjected to as severe frosts
and freezes in the spring and fall as
those of the north, and consequently
the Injury from this source necessarily
makes the cost of maintenance less.
So, while the, south stands In the
greatest need of road Improvement, its
conditions are most favorable for
meeting that need."
. - Mr. Page illustrated how much more
cheaply . the south can Improve its
roads, and gave statistics their popu
lation, while those without good roads
have lost in population. lie also
showed how millions of dollars have
been saved by the Improvement of
public highways throughout the
south.
"Once the south has a complete sys
tem of public roads", he predicted, "It
will become the most prosperous sec
tion of the United States. Good roads
mean more to the south than to any
other part of the country, because it
Is here that the cost of moving crops
has been so high. The south today is
enjoying an era of prosperity "and ex
pansion. Improvements are in prog
ress all along the line. Its -population
is increasing each year; Its railroad
mileage is being extended; it, manu
factures enlarged; and Its agriculture
Is each year opening up to new pos
sibilities and bringing new areas un
der cultivation. In order, however,
for this growth to continue. It will be
necessary that the roads of tbe south
be improved; for bed roads will check
into increasing population, impede Its
railroad development, hamper the en
largement of its manufactures, and
restrict its agriculture."
DEMOCRATS IN LIVELY CAUCUS.
a
""' ' By Ascociatetf Press.
Washington, May 25. After a four
hours' caucus the Democratic senators
voted 24 to 1 to support the Martin
resolution providing for another in
vestigation of the bribery charges in
connection with the Lorlmer election.
A lively tilt between Bailey of Texas
and Martine of New Jersey resulted
In the latter, who favored the La Fol
lette resolution, leaving the caucus.
It is probable the Martin resolution,
providing for the Inquiry by the com
mittee on privileges and elections, will
be adopted. '
