He was Subjected to Some
Criticism at the Hands of

Convinced the Majority
of the Citizens of the
State Approve His Action
in Standing by the Dem
ocratic Platform
I Washington, D. C, May 2. Repre
sentatives E'Engle has asked Postmaster-General
Burleson to withdraw
the recommendation he made some
time aTO endorsing: T. J. McRae, for
postmaster at South Jacksonville. lie
will recommend another man within a
few days.
It is evident from the number of
letters Which are being- received here
daily by Representatives Wilson and
IEnjrle endorsing their action in re-
fusing: to attempt to amend the tariff
bill with regard to citrus fruits, that
the majority of the voters of Florida
ure with them in their stand for passing-
the bill as it came from the ways
and means committee. Scarcely a day
passes that over a hundred letters
are received commending- their action
and advising" them that the majority J
of the voters are with them. .
Following is a letter received today,
which in general outline .'is similar to
most of those received:
"I am an orange grower; have 15
acres. Let "The Progressive Wilson

benefitted in things I have to buy. so

essity for health and happiness. We
can take care of ourselves along with
the rest of the producers.
"Tou are acting the man up there
all right, and all your friends are
proud of you." ,
BRYAN IS PRAISED. "
Senator Bryan Is also In receipt of
hundreds of similar letter sand after
the criticism to which he was sub
jected the first few days after he
made known his decision to stand by
the Underwood bill, has become con
vinced that his action met with the
approval of the majority of the voters.
The postoffice department has an
nounced the appointment of T. P.

FLETCHER FOR LILLARD.
A delegation of about 30 employes
of the government printing office call
ed on Senator Duncan U. Fletcher,
chairman of the joint printing com
mittee, at his office in the senate office
building today to urge that ho recom

tion of Thomas V. Turley, of Tennes

delegation opposed the appointment of
James M. Lynch or T. F. Morgan.
Senator Fletcher is for N. J. Llllard,
of Pensacola. for public printer, so the
delegation wasted its time in visiting
the senator.
Low Rate and Good Schedule for
the Legislators From Tallahassee
The railroads have put on a rate of one cent a mile each way from
Tallahassee on the occasion of the visit of the legislature to Pensacola
to meet Secretary of the Navy Ianiels.
This will make the round trip $4.00, but it ' contingent on 100 peo
ple buying tickets. Anyone, however, whether he is a member of the
legislature or not can buy a ticket at that rate, and it is anticipated that
a large number of citizens of Tallahassee and intermediate points will
make the trip. The schedule will be as follows;
Leave Tallahassee Monday 2:3o p. m.
Leave Pensacola for return Tuesday night at 10 o'clock, with Pullman
accommodations.
The rate and the schedule is a my attractive one and no doubt man?
more than 100 people will take advantage of the opportunity to visit
Pensacola, meet Secretary Daniels, and impress him with the fact that
all Florida Is behind the desire to see the navy yard reopened at Pensacola.

Mississippi Is
Beginning to Rise
at New Orleans
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
New Orleans, May 2. Except for a
fall of one-tenth of a foot at Natchez
and two-tenths rise at New Orleans,
the Mississippi river stages remained
stationary for the twenty-four hours
ending at 7 a. m., at all points from
Vicksburg south. The slight rise at
New Orleans was due to a slight
shifting wind.
The second rise is expected to
make its appearance tomorrow, from
the mouth of the. Red river south to
the gulf.
Notwithstanding a fall of eight feet
at Memphis within four days, and a
fall of 5.5' feet at Helena, the gauge at
Arkansas city shows a drop of 1.4 feet
indicating that a considerable quanti
ty of water, is entering the Mississip
pi through the Arkansas and White
rivers. Thus the loss of over one and
a hair feet of water a day for four
days in the river stretch between
Helena and Arkansas City is almost
offset by a gain of 1.1 feet daily from I
the- swollen Arkansas streams and
overflowed lantJg west and south of
Helena. Such a large quantity of cre
vasse water is pouring back into the
Mississippi at Vicksburg, from the
section flooded by the 'MayersvUIc,
Miss- crevasse, that no relief has been
noted in the Vicksburg territory from
the big crevasse below there on the
Louisiana side.

It was the alleged abandonment by

brought Mr. Wilson to Xew Jersey to

Identity of Child in Possession of

ET ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Opelouaas, La., May 2. Paralleling

Anderson, of North Carolina, a.fter a
second examination of the child this
morning, declared she believed he was
her son, Bruce.
Yesterday Julia Anderson, between
sobs and verging on a nervous break
down said:
"Men, hon3tly I can't say whether
that's my boy." She was subjected to
the ordeal of trying to pick the child
from a half dozen children of about
the same age. They boy had been
instructed to make no reply to rj 1 1 -tions
of the Anderson woman and al
though he wjs known a.s "Iirue"
when taken from Walters, he would
not respond to the name when Julit
Anderson called him by that name.
Today the North Carolina woman,
from a secluded pla.ee in a. rrsidenro
adjoining the Dunbar home, watched
the boy at play for an fcour. At hr
request he was again brought beforo
her. She took the boy in her arms,
stripped him and coaxed him to rec
ognize her. He drew away.
She found no marks on his body
by which she could identify the child,
