In connection with reports received from Col. Nutt at prohibition head- quarters this morning came pictures taken by agents in Florida of resu of their raids. One photo depicted three bottles of high-grade vintage before a punchboard from which all the numbers had been punched In a cigar store in Miami. The bottles had been won by prohibition agents as prizes in their campaign. Further evidence included photos of an agreement signed by C. M. Clayton, vice president of the Miami National Bank, concerning the de- posit of $4,050 alleged to have been held in escrow for the delivery of “certain commodities.” Clayton yes- terday was discharged at the end of a three-day hearing. ! ~ SUN ECLIPSE TUESDAY.

Elsewhere in the United States no part of the eclipse will be seen. ‘The path in which this eclipse can be seen as an annular eclipse crosses South America and Africa and will be seen as a partial eclipse over those continents.

Chairman McCumber of the finance committee believes that the bonus bill will be acted upon quickly in committee, and that it will pass the Senate promptly. Some of his colleagues, however, take a different view of the mat- ter. They believe that the bill will require long consideration, and that in the end it will be en- tirely rewritten.
