Am' Lumbermen Deny the Statement by Superintendent Hiz Savannah, Dec. 4.-"The great trouble inability of the Seaboard to receive from that the roads now have in handling the vast tonnage that is pouring into the va- rious ports is really not entirely on ac- count of the shortage in equipment, but * the lack of yard room, the lack of motive power and the lack of system after the cars arrive in the ports." The above statement is in part of a reply prepared in answer to the statement by Mr. C. H. Hix. general superintendent of the Sea- board Air Line, that the congestion on the roads is partly due to the delay in unload- ing and sending back empty cars by the shippers. A delegation of lumbermen forming the lumber committee of the Board of Trade, and headed by Mr. Harvey Granger called upon Mr. Hix relative to his interview published in the Morning News yesterday. When seen by the committee, Supt. Hix stated that he did not refer to Savannah in particular, but to conditions generally. When asked about the matter by a Morn- ing News reporter last night he reiterated his statement that the shippers are not prompt in unloading. "Savannah is no better and no worse than other ports," said he. "and the conditions referred to are general." The article prepared by the committee points out that despite the statement that every effort had been made to keep the Seaboard abreast of the increased busi- ness activity, it 'iad on hand fewer cars than one year ago, and that, according to the trust agreement, it would have less flat cars next year than at present. The committee says further that although the tonnage of the Seaboard according to its own statement has increased 716,845 tons, no increase has been made in the rolling stock. Cen. Manager Garrett's Statemcpt. General Manager G. M. Garrett who ar- rived in Savannah yesterday agreed with Mr. Hix. Mr. Garrett, who is in the city acquainting- the local officials with his policy. spent a very busy day. The after- noon was utilized in becoming acquainted with the local situation and the evening in conference with Supt. Hix. "I know nothing as yet of the Seaboard or of Savannah," said Mr. Garrett. "but there is one thing I can say: The Sea- Shoard, as well as every other railroad in the South, is confronted with a tremen- dous problem. The prices of all railroad commodities are so greatly increased, and the public and the legislatures are so de- ternmined to do away with the sole asset 4-f the railroads, their net earnings, that soon the roads will be compelled to run for just about what they receive. The entire slogan is for lou-e" rates, not rec- ognizing the increased .ost of everything. Soon the entire profit will be taken away aiid then God help the railroads." 'Supt. Hix's visit has brought about one great benefit. The embargo placed upon the Seaboard by the -tentral of Georgia Railway has been lifte#l. Because of the the Central cars sent to the former line, the Central refused to handle cars moving from the Seaboard to it. An arrangement was made yesterday by the two roads that will do away with this trouble in the future. The new arrangement will admit prompt delivery of the Seaboard cars whenever they are sent to points on the Central's lines. Pleased with Conference. The lumbermen were much pleased with the reception accorded them by Supt. Hix, and state that he assured them the con- dition at Savannah was not as bad as at Jacksonville and Fernandina. Since the statement of the committee was drafted, however, one lumber dealer who has ex- tensive interests in Fernandina, stated that no congestion existed at that point. A member of the committee, in discuss- ing the matter, said last night: "I am glad that Mr. Hix consented to the inter- view with the Morning News. It gives us an opportunity to refute him from the Seaboard's own figures. The only way we can hope for relief is to go at the roads hammer and tongs. It seems strange that it should take a railroad ten years to dis- cover that there was an increase in bus- iness. By Mr. Hix's own statement the road has been negligent in providing for the increased business. But from all ap- pearances some little relief is in sight." The Seaboard's managerial party will leave for Jacksonville this morning. Speaking of local conditions, Mr. Garrett said: "I found affairs in Savannah very satisfactory. Every one is as busy as can be. and is making every effort to keep things moving. We are going to go ahead on the constructive policy and everything that can be done to improve the road will be done. Plans are being made all the time and the management is always con- sidering things that will he of benefit." Lumber Committee's Reply. The statement of the Lumber Commit- tee is as follows: Savannah, Ga., Dec. 3.- Referring to the article published in the Morning News of this date, we would like to call your attention to the following remarks that we think should be replied to: We note that Supt. Hix states that the tonnage of freight from the South has increased 112 per cent in the last ten years, and that their shipping facilities have only been increased 42 per cent. t seems to us that with this admission by Supt. Hix that his railroad is neces- sarily culpable in not supplying sufficient shipping facilities to handle the increase as shown by his own figures. It certainly should not take them ten years to find out that business is being inc-eased. We would suggest that they should certainly be able to appreciate these facts according to their own state- ment as shown in their sixth annual re- port for the year ending June 30, 1906. We would call your attention to this statement as submitted by them and you will note that according to their inven- tory of equipment as of that date that they had on hand one year previous 1,628 forty-foot flat cars, and that there were destroyed during that year forty-five forty-foot flat cars, which left them on hand June 30, 1906, with 1,583 forty-foot flat cars. Their statement shaws that on other flat cars that they had on hand June 30, 1905, 1,653 cars, and that they sold dur- ing the year 451, destroyed 157, and trans- ferred 20, or a total of 628 flat ears, which left them on hand June 30, 1906, with only 1,025 flat cars. This shows a deficit during the year of 673 flat cars total, and there were none purchased by them at all during their current year. In addition to this, the annual report shows that according to their car trust obligations that there are no flat cars at all to be built by them, which, of course, will necessarily mean, that on account of deterioration, destruction, etc., that this equipment will be much less at the end of next year, according to their statement. Short 386 Cars. According to their own report, even fig- uring that they have purchased some few numbers of gondolas, ventilated box cars, stock cars, etc., that they are still short 386 cars of all character to what they had in 1905, and it is also shown that their rolling stock has been decreased; and this seems to us to prove conclusively that they should certainly have more rolling stock to handle their business; and for this reason it is found.that the conges- tion has not been caused by the lumber- men not handling their business properly at terminals. In addition to the facts as shown that the Seaboard has less cars today than they had in 1905, we do not lay the en- tire delay and blockade, as it now exists in their yards, to the lack of rolling stock. As shown by their statement, their ton- nage has increased 716.845 tons and they have not only not increased their rolling stock, but they have not increased their yard facilities for handing this enormous increase in tonnage, and in our opinion is one of the principal reasons that the Sea- board Air Line yards at this point are blocked today and such a large number of cars are tied up on their terminals. To show the Seaboard Air L:ne officials that this blockade is not caused by the lumbermen not promptly handling the cars after they arrive in Savannah. we will state that one of the shippers has just paid the schooner Helena twelve and a half days' demur:age on account of the failure of the Seaboard Air Line to de- liver the cars that were intended for the loading of this vessel. although every car was in Savannah or on the line o their road in their possession before the vessel actually went on demurrage. We submit further that the lumber- men are not to blame for the congested condition of the Seaboard yards. Going over the records of seven of our concerns in this city these records show that there are one hundred carloads of lumber in the Seaboard yards undelivered, all of which have been continuously ordered from the date of arrival. Some of these cars show that they have been in Savannah since Oct. 9, and the consignees in a great many instances, on account of the Seaboard Air Line failing to deliver these ears, have been forced to buy the contents of the same in the Northern market at an enor- mous advance in price and necessarily at a great loss to them, and now have the contents of thesd do .ayed ears their hands, which they will have to dispns of at a loss. In addition to the one hundred ears now ii. the Seaboard yards, the records show from 150 to 250 cars along the line of road hung up by the orders of the officials on account of the blockaded condition of their yards at this port, some of them having been shipped thirty days. In making up this statement we have only taken into consideration the records of seven concerns on account of our lim- ited time in which we desire to reply to Supt. Hix. Doubtless if we were to take in all the lumber concerns centering at this port, we could easily double the number of cars in their possession both in their yards and along the line of road. It has been the desire of the lumbermen doing business at this port to at all times work with the railroads, as we realize that unless the ears are relieved promptly after their arrival here that we are the sufferers. There are certain laws promul- gated by the Railroad Commissio, which <'ves the consignees rights to collect de- murrage for the failure to deliver after their arrival at the port, as well as the -ight to collect for detention in transit, but -e venture to say that very few of us have taken advantage of this law, realizing the enormous increase in busi- ness and the difficulty to which the rail- roads have been put in securing equipment for this vast increase in tonnage. Still, when a superintendent deliberately states that all the congestion at the ports is due to the lumbermen, in our opinion we are satisfied that he is not conversant with the situation, as the records we have riven you above show. Cause of Trouble. The great trouble the roads now have in handling the vast tonnage that is pouring into the various ports is really not en- tirely on account of the shortage in equip- Trent. hut the lack of yard room, the lack of n otive power and the lack of system after the cars arrive at the ports. The Coast Line recr.rds show that the deten- tion to all lumber cars delivered over their terminals has been less than sixteen hours, which shows conclusively that the coa- -ignees do unload their cars promptly when they are delivered on their tracks, and the congestion now existing in itb 4 'IE TIMNEKLY INT'TT r\RTTAL RECORD. Seaboard yards is entirely the fault of the Seaboard to make delivery in accordance with the consignee's orders, which orders they have held in a great many instances before the cars have arrived. The lumbermen- for years have seen other classes of freight given preference over theirs, both in transportation to the port, as well as movement to the various steamers and sail vessels after it arrives. Often the case our cars are side-tracked for the handling of special cotton and na- val stores ears to certain steamers, the lumbermen simply taking the best they can get and begging with the railroads to deliver according to their orders. The Special Lumber Committee of the Board of Trade, who were appointed to confer with Supt. Hix this morning, had a very pleasant interview with this gen- tleman and had every assurance from him that the situation will be improved, and he took very great pains to state that his remarks were not intended for Savannah alone, but covered the general conditions over the entire South, and speaking for his line of read, especially at Jackson- ville and Fernandina. Mr. Hiz's Statement. The statement of Mr. Hix, to which the lumbermen object, is contained in the following from the Savannah News: "The unprecedented and unexpected in- dustrial activity and the inability of the car manufacturing companies to meet the demand upon them is the cause of all the trouble with southern railroads." This statement was made by Mr. C. H. Hix, general superintendent of the Sea- board Air Line, last night. He gave the railroad's side of the controversy that has arisen between the manufacturing and traveling public and the roads. Supt. Hix, who is in Savannah on a tour of inspection, spent his entire time looking into the affairs of the Seaboard. The only solution to the problem, he said, is time in which to get affairs arranged. "The roads are making every effort pos- sible to move the freight," said Supt. Hix, "and you can readily see that it is as much to our advantage to keep things go- ing as to the shippers. The tonnage of freight from the South has increased 112 per cent.. and the shipping facilities only 42 per cent. in the past ten years. The I-asiness handled has been enormous. Never in the history of the United States I: s s -h activity been seen. The rail- roads simply cannot keep up with the demand. If we were to get one division in order and then move to another, by the time the second part is complete the first has grown away from us, and we are just where we were before. It is impos- sible to get cars within a year after order- ing them. Has Ordered New Stock. "The Seaboard has on file now an order for 3.000 cars and ten locomotives for de- livery this year, and twenty-five locomo- tives for next year. The demand for double' tracks is also apparent. But we are unable to get these yet. Another great trouble is that the shippers do not unload their cars promptly. The lumber dealers allow cars to stand on the sidings ten days and often longer, at the ex- pense of the railroads. The reason is that the ships are not always at the docks an dalso that they hold them in cars until ordered.

You can see how this hinders. "The labor trouble is getting to be a menace. The manufacturers are unable to get laborers, the railroads are unable to get laborers, an altogether the situa- tion is getting ominous. It is a surpris- ing but true fact that the average dis- tance covered on all roads by a regularly loaded freight car is but twenty-five miles a day. Of course the shippers do not con- sider these things. The financial nerve is the most sensitive nerve in the body, and these men are touched in their pocket- books. "Lumber, cotton, tobacco, everything Is in greater demand than ever before, aad commands higher prices, and naturally the shippers wish to get their goods to the market. We are doing our utmost to accommodate them, but of course there S is always room for complaint. "There is no doubt that some of the lumber men have bone under because of this trouble. But it is unavoidable. It would mean more money to us to move the freight quickly, sad we are straining every effort to do so. The division sup- erintendents have been working day and night trying to keep the yards lear. In time it will all work out right. The bhp- ments of lumber, oil and cotton have hI- creased wonderfully. Last year it look-ed as though there would be a lull, but none came. The cotton shipments fell away, but that was because no labor could be had. We will be glad to meet the com- mittee from the lumber dealers. "Although we have not made our troubles public, they have been felt none the less keenly. The statement made that the Seaboard is not willing to spend money for improvements must have been made unadvisedly. The Seaboard has paid no dividends except one that was made by a redivision of the stock. There Is no attempt at standing still on this road. I, too, feel justly proud of our passenger service. put in use. But until this time, we must just possess our souls in patience." Mr. G. M. Garrett, the new general man- ager of the Seaboard, who was expected yesterday, was detained and will arrive this morning. Mr. Garrett wishes to be- come acquainted with the local officials and to inspect the condition of affairs at this point. BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO SAMUEL SPENCER. Washington, Dec. 2.-At a joint meeting of the voting trustees and the board of directors of the Southern Railway Com- pany, held at its office in Washington to- day immediately after the funeral ser. vices of Samuel Spencer, late president of the company, there were present: Alexan- der B. Andrews, first vice-president; J. Pierpont Morgan and George F. Baker, voting trustees, and the following direc- tors: Joseph Bryan, Samuel M. Inman, Adrain Iselin, Jr., Edmund D. Randolph, James T. Woodward, William W. Finley and Charles Stoele. The following minutes was adopted and was ordered to be entered on the records and published at length in the press upon the lines of the Southern railway. Samuel Spencer, born in Columbus, Ga., March 2, 1847; died November 29, 1906, near Lawyers station, Virginia, upon the railroad of the Southern Railway Com- pany, of which he was the first and only president. The personal qualities of Mr. Spencer, his integrity in heart and mind, his affec- tionate and genial disposition, his loyal and courageous spirit, his untiring devo- tion to duty, his persistent achievement of worthy ends, and his comradeship on the fields of battle of affairs and of manly sport, combined to establish him in the loving regard of hosts of friends in every section of his country, and nowhere more securely than in the affection of his fellow workers in the service of the Southern Railway Company.

Ev- ery dollar that could be borrowed under President Spencer's management was put into the property in the effort to enable it to meet the ever increasing demands of the vigorous and wonderful growth of the South and its industries. The mighty fabric which for twelve years he had been molding must continue under others to develop and +,- improve in the service that it shall render to the public, but never can it cease to bear the" impress or to reveal the continuing im- pulse of the master mind of its first presi- dent. In the height of his usefulness and his power he has been called away. but the Inspiration of his shining example and his lofty standards must ever animate his successors. . To many other corporations conducting the commerce of the country, as well as to the Southern Railway, did Mr. Spencer render invaluable services and all of them will share in our sense of loss and personal grief. As their chosen spokesman in the tremendous agitation culminating in the congressional action of 1906. his mastery of his subject, his dignity of bearing and his integrity of character commanded the confidence and approval of the vast inter- ests whose constitutional rights it became his duty to assert and to protect. To the great public, not less than to the commercial interests, did he recognize his obligation. How well he conceived, how admirably he performed that duty, was indicated in the last of his public ad- dresses his last message to his friends in the South, delivered at Montgomery, Ala., on October 25, 1906, an address which deserves wide circulation and close con- sideration, not only in his own South that he loved so well, but throughout the whole country, which he had learned to know far better than most of its citi- zens. wherever barn. His chosen career has closed, but the wisdom and the virtues that characterized that career will abide as long as there shall be a regard for duty bravely done and for high service gallantly rendered. To his family we extend our deep and most respectful sympathy and our assur- ance that for them, as well as for his as- sociates, honor and happiness will ever result from their relation to Sampel Spen- cer, that just and upright man and offi- cer." WRITER IN THK HNW YORK PACKER REFERS TO FLORIDA FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. The special Florida correspondent of the New York Packer, writes the following letter from Quay: ]very town one goes to in Florida has some noticeable attraction, sometimes within sight of the station, but more often away beck out of sight. Quay has both. The frst one the writer ran up against was W. R. o(peland's beautiful home one mile out in the sticks. Did T say sticks? T mean among the palms. This place is so hidden by huge palm and live oak trees that one has to be within a few rods to see the house and then hunt for hours among orange and grapefruit groves to find the owner, but it pays to find him, for more than one reason. Here in a plot of 50 acres is a wilderness of the finest fruit trees that Florida can produce, so loaded with fruit that one wonders how the trees can hold it. Back of this grove is the vegetable farm of tomatoes. egg- plants and beans, which are being shipped daily. Oranges and grapefruit are sel- dom shipped from this section until late in the winter or early spring, as there is no danger of freezing here, and the fruit in this grove as well as others, is allowed to remain on the trees until thoroughly ripe. which is no doubt the main cause of Indian River oranges superior quality. The second noticeable attraction men- tioned is E. C. Walker's 13-acre plantation r ght here in town, with a beautiful home site on a Florida mountain. A Florida mountain is merely a hill, but as there are so few hills here, when one sees a hill it looks like a mountain. This place has acres of fine orange lands, grapefruit -roves and is one of the most desirable places in the State, especially for one who wishes a home for beauty as well as future profit. Unlike most people with a really desirable and well located home, Mr. Walker offers this place for sale, as he has so much land five miles back in the woods to look after that he cannot give this place the attention it requires. *T, M. Morgan & Co.. general merchants, are doing a fine business here in all kinds of suppFes-crate materials, etc. .. M. McCullers is one of the early ship- pers of beans. He is already receiving returns for shipments which are netting good profits. Johns Island. Going from here across the Indian river two miles to Johns Island, one finds some beautiful homes and hospitable people. When upon first landing one is not al- lowed to go further without first taking dinner, it is quite natural that we fall in love with both the country and the people. This was the case at F. C. Poppell's beau- tiful home on the banks of the east shore of Indian river. Here one finds beautiful scenery, fresh ocean air and plenty to eat. Mr. Poppell is one of the many win- ter vegetable growers here, and is shipping beans in plenty, but the most attractive part of his place is the fine young orange and grapefruit grove back in the center of the island. This grove is but from three to five years old, yet there are hun- dreds of boxes of the finest quality of the -olden fruit among the dark green fol- iage of perfectly healthy trees, which goes to prove that this island country is as good for fruit growing as vegetables. E. S. W. Holland is another large grow- er of beans, having nine acres for winter shipping, with ten acres to plant for a later crop; ten acres of young orange grove, guavas and other tropical fruits. Among the other growers who are mak- ing daily shipments of beans from this place are B. B. Whidden, W. R. Kemp, J. L. Chambers, Charles Harris, C. .1. 'leains and J. T. Jenkins. the last named having fourteen acres of fine vegetable land covering the whole space between the two branches of the river. Across the eastern branch, between the river and the ocean. are some good grow- ers. esl:ecially J. S. Brooks, who has ten ncres of fine beans for fall and winter shipment and tomatoes for eariy spnng. Going from here to Watbaso, three Barnes & Jessup Company Jaceksonville. Florida.

M. Michaels, with forty acres in all, principally beans, which will be shipped continuously trom now on to late in tae spring. This farm is on the island at Orchid. Frank Foster has the largest orange ann grapefruit grove on this island, 24 acres, and of the finest quality. W. T. Jones is another grower here with five acres for winter and ten acres for spring--beans and tomatoes. T. H. Jackson is shipping beans, toma- toes and peppers. All the crops in this section are looking fine, especially so as the recent cold wave did not touch here to hurt, and the pros- pect for good quality as well as quantity) * never was better. Toledo is another good point on this line, two miles south of uay. Here W. H. Wiglield has a fine nursery. This nursery is especially de sirable tock to plant from, as there is no white fly in this part ot lorida. and Mr. Wigfield has no trouble disposing of all the trees he can grow. E. V.

Following closely the resignation of Dis- trict Superintendent A. L. Glass, from the Gainesville district of the Atlantic Coast Line railway, which was filed December 5, comes the appointment of his successor and other important appointments. L. E. Spencer, for some time superin- tendent of terminals with headquarters in Jacksonville, has been appointed to succeed Supt. Glass. With this appoint- ment comes the announcement, or rumor, that the Gainesville district office, wtih its force of some ten or twelve employes, will be transferred to Jacksonville, where Supt. Spencer's offices will be located. H. O. McArthur, former trainmaster ::f the Jacksonville district, succeeds L. E. Spencer as superintendent of terminals here. J. F. Council, superintendent of the Nor- folk district, is to succeed Z. Middlebrook, superintendent of the Lakeland. district, Mr. Middlebrook having been assigned to other duties. These appointments, it is announced, will take effect December 10. With the announcement of these ap- pointments it was learned that A. L Glass resigned to accept a position with Chase & Co., near Gainesville, who are large phosphate dealers. The bringing of Supt. Spencer's head- quarters to Jacksonville from Gainesville will bring to Jacksonville some ten or S twelve clerks now employed in the district office at Gainesville, thus helping to swell the population of the metropolis of Flor- ida. The gentlemen appointed to attend to the various responsible positions are all well posted railroad men and have had wide experience in their respective lines of duty. COMMISSIONER E. J. WATSON, OF SOUTH CAROLINA, TO SPEAK HERE WEDNESDAY. Hon. E. J. Watson, commissioner of im- migration of South Carolina, has accepted an invitation of the immigration commit- tee of the Jacksonville Board of Trade i0 come to this city and deliver an address upon immigration at the regular meeting of the board of trade to be held next Wednesday afternoon, December 12, at 3 o'clock. Formal notice of the coming of Commis- sioner Watson was sent out Tuesday by Secretary Smith to every member of the board of trade, the cards containing the following announcement: "Commissioner of immigration E. J. Watson, of South Carolina, has accepted an invitation to address the Jacksonville Board of Trade at its meeting Wednesday, Dlec nber 12, at 3 p. m. His address will I.e interesting. "He has established an immigrant line to bouth Carolina and will tell us how to get a line for Florida. Come out sure." State Orgnisations Invited. At a special joint meeting of the com- mittee on immigration and the committee on real estate and insurance, of the Jack- sonville Board of Trade, held yesterday afternoon, it was decided to invite the various Loa-ds of trade and commercial organizations throughout Florida to send representatives here to attend the meet- ing next Wednesdiy and hear Commis- sioner Watson's address upon the subject of immigration, for it is realized that the entire state of Florida is interested in this subject. The following resolution %as adopted by a unanimous vote at the joint session of the committees: "Resolved, That this joint committee of the Jacksonville Board of Trade requests the hearty cooperation of all boards of trade and commercial organizations in the state ut Florida, in a movement to secure immigrants of a desirable class, and here- with extends an invitation to all such organizations to be represented at the next meeting of the Jacksonville Board of Trade, to be held Wednesday, Decem- ber 12, at 3 p. m., at which meeting Hon. E. J. Watson, commissioner of immigra- tion of South Carolina, will deliver an ad- dress upon immigration and the best meth- ods of securing desirable immigrants." The joint committee trusts that this in- vitation will be generally accepted, even though the time is short, and that a num- ber of the commercial organizations of the State will be represented. The membership of the two committees of the board of trade forming the joint committee which extends the invitation, is as follows: Immigration. Avery, H.

Read the United States code on peonage and be gov- erned by the law in the case. Sanford is reaping a harvest of wealth. Her lettuce and celery crops this year are ONLY THE BBGIONING. If we are to take into consideration the developments in the prosecutions for peonage for the past few weeks, it is evi- dent that the people of Florida and other States are just beginning to appreciate the fact that there is a peonage law on the United States statutes and that the United States authorities are determined to see that that law is enforced. To the Record it appears that there il a great deal of noise made about nothing. While we admit that there have been some who have gone beyond the bounds of reason in restraining the movements of laborers, we have yet to see a single case wherein those who have set up such a howl about being detained were justified in leaving the employ of those who were called upon to advance money to either bring them South or to otherwise attach them to their force of laborers. The national government is going a great distance in the prosecution of these cases. It has sent the assistant United States attorney general South to handle the matter. Those who have set up this howl of peonage are those who come South because their expenses are paid and who jump their contracts, leaving those who have advanced them to suffer the los. If these men were fair, if they lived up to their words, desirous of meeting their ;ust obligations and willing to 0lo the right thing, there would be no charge of peonage lodged against those who are krown to be honest and respectable citi- zens of this state. But The Record has repeatedly caution- el its readers and especially those who are engaged in the manufacture of lum- ber or naval stores to be cautious and not to place themselves in jeopardy even by the slightest suggestion. The least hint dropped by them to those in their employ may be used as a basis for bring- ing the peonage charge against them. From che remarks dropped here and there by the special agents of the United States government and some of the at- torneys who are employed in these cases to asbsst the district attorney, it is evi- dent that the indictments returned this week against Mr. O'Hara and others are only the beginning. There are those who have not the slightest intimation that they are to be hauled up before a Un;ted States Commissioner or a federal grand jury, who may have a warrant served upon them at any time. In the meantime the people of Florida are accepting this situation gracefully and immense and the two vegetables are bring- are patiently awaiting the outcome. ing good prices. Spirits appear unable to rise. In fact there appears to be a general lull in the naval stores market. Mr. D. G. Crenshaw states that there is to be a smaller box cut next season. Mr. Crenshaw is a keen observer and a student of naval stores and is in position to know.

Waycross, Ga., Dec. 3.-The decision of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com- pany to use cypress croesties in their new freight yard here, will clean up quite a number of cypress forests around this section. About 45,000 ties are to be used in this work, and as a cypress will only cut from one to four crossties a great quantity of timber will be required for the work. Colonel W. M. Toomer, who has been employed by Mr. O'Hara to defend him in the United States district court, is perhaps the ablest lawyer in this section of the South. He will certainly prove a match for the assistant United States Attorney General. Trust Mortgage Filed. Grand Rapids, Mich.. Dec. 4.-The filing of a $22,000 trust mortgage by the Muske- gon Trust Company running to the Michi- gan Trust Company, of Grand Rapids, simultaneously with the issuance of a warrant for John L. Hisey, treasurer and general manager of the company charging him with obtaining money under false pretenses, caused a great stir in Muske- gon today. Hisey was reported to have disappeared but Secretary George T. Hume, of the milling company who filed the mortgage, asserts that he is in Battle Creek at a sanitarium. Experts are ex- amining the books of the company. Secre- tory Hume says the trust mortgage is to gain time in which to realize cash for the company's ample assets to cover the claims of creditors. The assets aggregate $65,000. INLAND WATERWAY.

Washington, Dec. 7.-The Isthmian Ca- nal Commission tonight announced that the date of opening bids for the comple- tion of the construction of the Panama canal has been postponed from December 12 to 12 o'clock noon, January 12 next. The commission explains that the post- ponement is on account of certain changes made at the instance of a number of con- tractors in the invitation and form of con- tract required to be executed by the suc- cessful bidder under the invitation for the completion of the construction of the canal * The Csetlers SOLE AGENTS FO% KNOX HATS Our Clothing clit Fits RIght Made Looks Well Hangs Well Feels Well SAwfal Swell Null Said TIH STUART-BSRAS4tIN CO. 14 WST BAY ST.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The annual report of Commissioner of Internal Revenue John W. Yerkes for the past fiscal year shows total receipts of $249,102,738, an excess of $14,914,762 over the proceeding year while the receipts for the first three months of the current year show an increase in col- lections of $4,661,131 over the correspond- ing months last year. Commissioner Yer- kes says he believes the total revenues in the current fiscal year will aggregate $260,000,00. During the year there was collected from the tax on distilled spirts, $136,965,- 911; on fermented liquors, $54,651,636; on tobacco, $18,422,997. The commissioner says a charge of 20 cents for each stamp issued to rectifiers or wholesale liquor dealers for use on packages prepared and sent out by them; and a charge of 25 cents per gallon on all brandy withdrawn for fortification purposes. The net increase in collections from ci- gars and cigarettes was $1,442,962 ac compared with the previous fiscal year and the increase from tobacco and snuff was $1,320,124. The total production of tobacco and snuff in the United States was 382,648,002 pounds. The total exports of domestic tobacco manufactures from the United States were cigarettes, 1,710,39,000; cigars, 2,130,000 and manufactured tobacco and snuff, 8,- 004,032 pounds. The duties and taxes col- leeted from tobacco amounted to $72,350,- 698. The duty collected upon imported leaf unmanufactured amounted to $20,046,809 and that collected for consumption, $3,- 880,801. The report shows the total number of cigars manufactured during the year was 7,551,510,893 an increase of 174,841,151, and cigarettes numbered 3,673,727,411, in- crease 239,733. GOVERNMENT REACHES THE CLI- MAX IN THE ARRESTS ON THE CHARGE OF PEONAGE. With the returning of several true bills against Mr. F. J. O'Hara, of Hodges & O'Hara in the United States Court Thurs- day the climax in the prosecution of those charged with peonage in th:s State appears to have been reached. Not only did the grand jury return indictments charging peonage, but it also returned an indict- ment charging him with returning a man to his place with the intent of holding him as a slave. There were five indictments returned by the grand jury growing out of the cases at Buffalo Bluff, one of them, including A. A. Thompson, R. L. Arent, S. S. Schwartz, George F. Burrell and "others to the grand jury unknown," charging conspiracy to commit peonage. Nearly all of these indictments were against Mr. F. J. O'Hara, of Hodges & O'Hara. One was an indictment against O'Hara's foreman, George F. Burrill. Two of the indictments against O'Hara charge him with carrying away Franz Nebel with intent that he (Nebel) should be held as a slave, and the other charging him with three charge him with returning certain conspiracy to so carry away Nebel. Of the remaining four against O'Hara, laborers to a condition of peonage, and the fourth charges him with holding Benjamin \Vilenski in a condition of peonage. All four charges are made by men who were employed by O'Hara at the Buffalo Bluff place. The indictment against George F. Bur- rill, O'Hara's foreman, also comes from Buffalo Bluff. Burrill is charged with holding Edward Johnson in peonage. The first of the peonage indictments, that of the United States vs. F. J. O'Hara, charges the defendant with a violation of the provision of Section 5526, Revised Statutes of the United States, in that he "did return to a condition of peonage" one Moritz Kerretn, "the said Moritz Ker- retn having escaped from a condition of peonage at another business establish- ment," the Maytown place. The returning of Kerretn to a condition of peonage is alleged to have taken place on June 12, 1906, and it is charged that Kerretn was carried to Buffalo Bluff, and there held in peonage. Assistant United States Attorney General Charles W. Rus- sell appears as prosecuting officer. Another indictment charges the same defendant, F. J. O'Hara, with holding Benjamin Wilenski in a condition of peon- age at Buffalo Bluff. This alleged offense is claimed to have been committed on June 12, 1906. Still another indictment charges the same defendant, F. J. O'Hara, with, on June 12, 1906, returning Nathan Mayber- ger to a condition of peonage at Buffalo Bluff. The Fourth indict charges the defend- ant, F. J. O'Hara, with returning Bennie Rubenstein to a condition of peonage at Buffalo Bluff. The indictment returned against George F. Burrill charges him with holding Ed- ward Johnson in a condition of peonage at Buffalo Bluff. Burrill's alleged offense is claimed to have been committed on June 14, 1906. Burrill is one of O'Hara's foremen, and the indictment specifies that his alleged of- fense was committed at a place at which he was employed as manager. The peonage charge against Burrill, the four peonage indictments against O'Hara. and the other two indictments, charging carrying away with intent to hold in slav- ery, and conspiring to so carry away, are based on the statements made by the men sent here by Rt. Rev. Bishop Bonaventure F. Broderick, of Staatsburg (N. Y.) through the S. S. Schwartz labor agency, on behalf of the Italian-American Agri- cultural Society, agents of which organi- zation were here in the last months of last winter and the early months of last spring. All of the alleged peons are white men and Germans, and with the exception of Edward Johnson, are apparently German- Jews. They have all, with the exception of Wilenski, been detained in the Duval county jail since the preliminary hearing last summer. A German-Jew, one Franz Nebel. is the (Continued on page 14.)

(Continued from page 12.) one alleged to have been carried away with intent that he should be held in slav- ery. It is the same person against whom the alleged conspiracy on the part of Mr. O'Hara and those jointly indicted with him is charged to have been directed. Those jointly indicted with Mr. O'Hara on the conspiracy charge are A. A. Thomp- son, R. L. Arent, S. S. Schwartz, and George F. Burrill. This indictment is of wider interest than the others, owing to the fact that S. S. Schwartz, one of the defendants, is the man who conducts the New York labor agency through which Rt. Rev. Bishop Broderick worked in sending the laborers to Florida and to Mr. O'Hara. The Sections Used. The indictments, which are signed by Assistant Attorney Gen. Russell as prose- cuting officer, are brought under sections 5525. the one regarding holding in slavery, etc., and section 5540, the "conspiracy" section. These two sections, under which the indictments referred to above are brought, are as follows: Section 5525, Revised tSatutes: "Every person who kidnaps or carries away any other person, with the intent that such other person be sold into involuntary ser- vitude, or held as a slave; or who entices, persuades, or induces any other person to go aboard a vessel or to any other place with the intent that he may be made or held as a slave, or sent out of the country to be made or held; or who in any way knowingly aids in causing any other per- son to be held, sold, or carried away to be held or sold as a slave, shall be pun- ished by a tine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000, or by imprisonment not more than five years, or by both." The Conspiracy Statute. The "conspiracy" statute, under which Mr. O'Hara and the others mentioned above are indicted, is as follows: Section 5440, Revised Statutes: "If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States in any man- ner or for any purpose, and one or more of such parties do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, all the parties to such conspiracy shall be liaoe to a pen- alty of not less than $1,000 and not more than $10,000, and to imprisonment not more than two years." The indictment brought against Mr. O'Hara and others under this section charges them with conspiring to violate the provisions of section 5525 (the section first quoted above). The particulars of the indictment are as set forth below: The indictment against Mr. O'Hara un- der the "slavery" statute charges the fol- lowing: dictment, it will be noticed, the govern- ment does not have to prove any indebt- edness of any nature whatsoever, on the part of Nebel to the defendant. The "conspiracy" indictment, brought under sections 5440 and 5525, was returned against F. J. O'Hara, A. A. Thompson, R. L Arent, S. S. Schwartz, George F. Bur- rill, "and others to these grand jurors unknown." There are four courts in the indictment, as follows: The first count charges that the defend- ants, on June 8, "did conspire to carry away one Franz Nebel, with intent that he should be held as a slave." The statute requires that an overt act by one or more of the alleged conspirators be shown and the act charged in this count which is made on the first clause of the statute (quoted in full above) is that the defendant, Arent, with intent to carry out the purpose of the alleged conspiracy, met Nebel here in Jacksonville when the vessel on which he arrived from New York reached this port. The second count charges that the de- fendant conspired to "induce" (second clause of section 5525) the said Nebel to go to a place "south of Palatka" with intent that he should be held as a slave. The overt act alleged to have been done in the effort to carry out this part of the alleged conspiracy was that one or more of the defendants "compelled him (Nebel) to go to a railroad station in the said city (Jacksonville) from which trains then ran customarily toward the said place south of Palatka." The third count charges the defendants with conspiring to "knowingly aid in causing" (last clause of section 5525) the said Nebel to be carried away with intent that he should be held as a slave. Under this count, of course, no overt act is re- quired to be proven. The fourth count of this indictment charges that the said Franz Nebel "and other laborers" were, on June 5, through the labor agency of S. S. Schwartz, then being conducted in New York city "induced to be carried away (second clause of sec- tion 5525) from the city of New York to be held as slaves within the said "this district." Then the direct charge is made that Schwartz himself, "by deception," caused the men, including Nebel, to go from New York to Florida, etc. Attorneys who have been following peon- age cases and kindred cases since the gen- eral prosecution of such cases was begun several years ago with renewed energy on the part of the government against south- ern men, were not very much surprised that the "slavery" indictments were re- turned. That on June 8, 1906, he carried away It was pointed out that to establish from Jacksonville on Franz Nebel, "with peonage the servitude must be to work intent that he should be held as a slave." out a debt.

The evidence in the hands of the govern- ment there, according to New York ex- changes, lead to the revocation of the li- cense given Schwartz to conduct a labor agency. The indictment against Schwartz here is believed to be due to the efforts of Miss Quackenbos, a special assistant district attorney for the southern district of New York, who came here to work up the case against Schwartz that is to be tried in New York. Bond Is Furniahed. Of the other men jointly indicted with Schwartz and Mr. O'Hara on this con- spiracy charge, Mr. A. A. Thompson is an employee of the latter, and Mr. George F. Burrill, who was also indicted separately on a charge of peonage, is Mr. O'Hara's foreman at one of his places. Just who Mr. R. L. Arent is was not stated, but he is a Florida man. All of the defendants indicted have given bond for their appearance for trial on the indictments returned against them. The cases, which will undoubtedly be fol- lowed with interest throughout the en- tire country, will probably come up for trial next week. It is understood that these cases are to be called next week. A special venire of thirty-five has been summoned from which to draw a jury for the first case which is to be called. This venire was drawn from the box and are summoned to appear here on next Wednesday. Most of the number are white and some of them are among the leading business men of the State. Perhaps the hardest fight ever wit- nessed in the United States district court here will be seen when this case is brought to trial. Mr. O'Hara has to defend him Colonel W. M. Toomer, one of the ablest lawyers in the South and a gentleman who has devoted a great deal of time and study to peonage. With Colonel Toomer will be associated George M. Powell of this city and S. J. Hilburn. of Palatka. It is the general understanding that there will be a great many other peonage cases brought before the United States court in this State before the end is reached. Special agents of the United States government have been investigat- ing in this State with a view of learning just as much as possible and to secure the arrests of all those who can possibly be charged with this offense. In addition to the indictments already mentioned, another indictment was re- * turned against Mr. F. J. O'Hara, charging conspiracy. It is generally understood now that the defendant will be arraigned on next Thurs- day. What the course of the defense will be remains to be seen. but it is generally believed that an attack upon the indict- ments will be first made. D. G. CRENSHAW SAYS LABOR CON- DITIONS ARE IMPROVING. "Labor conditions are slightly improv- ed," said Mr. D. c. Crenshaw at the Ara- grouped with some of his trends in the corridors of the hotel. While he stated that the labor conditions were slightly improved, he made the statement advised- ly. Referring to the box cut for the coming year it was the positive opinion of Mr. Crenshaw that it would be much smaller than it was for the season pust closing, and that box cutting would begin rather late. The opinion of Mr. (renshaw was voiced lby a number of other naval stores men who were seen here during the week. It appears to be the general concen.us of opinion among operators and factors that the box cut this year is to be much small- er. A great many reasons have been given, not the least important of which is that the financial conditions of the industry this year is not what it ought to have been. Factors in Jacksonville state that their reports are to the effect that the box cut is to be small, and that the operations are to be later this season than they were last. IRISH POTATO CROP IN HASTINGS REGION. St. Augustine. Dec. 2.-The farmers of Hastings who have been busy for several months preparing for the Irish potato crop. are now redoubling their efforts as planting time approaches. Nearly all of the growers now have their fields well broken up and in many cases are practically ready for the seed and fer- tilizer. The acreage this year will be far greater than that of any previous season, several new farmers have located since last spring, while a number of the former growers will increase their fields materi- ally. Seed and fertilizer is now being deliv- ered at the station in carload lots and within a few weeks most of it will be in the ground. The planting season will be- g'n during the last week of December and will continue until the middle of January. Hastings, as a thrifty settlement con- tinues to grow with rapid strides. It now has two well stocked livery stables, a number of up-to-date houses, barrel fac- tories, saw mills and other industries to meet the fast growing demands of the community and every one of them is do- ing an excellent business. All of the other sections of the Irish po- tato belt are getting ready for the plant- ing season. LIGHT SAW MILLS: SHINGEL AND LATH MACHINERY AND SUPPLIES tiees Lofers, Fittings anJ Repaws.

(Continued from page 7.) tees yesterday afternoon was held pri- marily to make arrangements for the coming of Commissioner Watson, and at the same time to hear from Mr. Edwin Brobston, chairman of the committee on immigration, chairman of the committee on immigration, who has just returned from Columbia, S. C., where he attended a meeting of the executive committee of the Southern Immigration and Industrial Association. The proceedings of the meet- ing of the executive committee have been published in the press dispatches, but as concisely put by Mr. Brobston, may be summed up as follows: Work Is Mapped Out. The executive committee first resolved to encourage the establishment in each southern state of a department of immi- gration and commerce. The departments of six or eight states working for a com- mon purpose will have, of course, greater financial and moral influence than one or two states could bring to bear. Such uni- ty of action will be mutually beneficial and the force of a "solid south" isneeded to counteract the adverse influences that have long worked against this section. Unity. therefore, in this great move for development is of prime importance. The next determination is that a com- mittee of this association, representative of the southern states, shall lay before the committees of immigration of con- cress the conditions in the South, and ask for such modifications of the immigrant laws as will facilitate the work of state departments. Must Have Return Cargoes. To encourage the direct Introduction of immigrants into southern ports, the steam- ship companies must receive freight car- goes. and to that end the association of which Gov. Hevward of South Carolina is president, will work to arouse "all com- mercial, trade, industrial and like influ- ences to the earnest practical support ,of trans-Atlantic steamship service into the ports of the South: that efforts be made to have all trade and commercial organi- rations in the southern states combine their efforts to this end. with a view to developing an independent commerce in the states of the South. and of accomp- lishing practical results in desirable Im- migration to the South obtainable in no other way." So that while we are get- tine immigrants we will he building up a profitable direct trade with Europe, utiliz- ing our own seaports. For Florila's Benet. After briefly reviewing the efforts of Commissioner Watson to secure immi- grants for South Carolina. which have re- sulted so satisfactorily and which means the landing at Charleston of a large num- her of immigrants from Europe monthly, Mr. Brohston told of a plan proposed by Commissioner Watson which may result in Flor;da receiving a good number of im- mirants to be landed in Tacksonville on steamers direct from Europe. and also result in the ships bringing over the im- miroPnts carrying back to Europe cargoes of Florida products.

After hearing Commissioner Watson ev- press his views along these Fnes, Mr. Brobston urged him to come to Jackson- ville and address the Jacksonville Board < f Trade. Although lii i. a very busy man and has a number of invitations to de- liver addresses throughout the country, Commissioner Watson accepted Mrr. Brob- ston's invitation and will be here Wed- nesday and deliver an address in which lie will fully outline his plans. At the meeting yesterday a sub-coimmit- tee. or steering committee. composed of iurnmlhers of the immigration committee and the committee on real estate and in- surance, was appointed to arrange for the coming of Commissioner Watson and also to carry out the plans of the joint com- mittee in regard to working up a strong sentiment throughout the state in favor of the establishment of a department of immigration in the state government of Florida. This sub-committee is composed of the following members: Col. Walter P. Corbett. chairman. Edwin Brolhton. Charles L. Bonney, J. W. White. James L. Taylor, C. Brickwedel, Roland Woodward and Secretary Charles H. Smith.
