— YOL. 1 HOSPTAL 10EH SHOULD REGENE GEAEROLS SUPPIR MOVEMENT TO WHICH EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD EXTEND SUB- STANTIAL CO-OPERATION. of al] the projects that have ever been initiated in Lakeland, looking to the welfare and prosperity of the people, there has never beea any more deserving of the liberal sup- port of citizens of all classes and conditions than the plan to establish a commodious and well equipped hos- pital. This enterprise was set on foot several weeks ago, and has met with fair encouragement, perhaps half of the necessary funds for the erection aud equipment of the building being subscribed up to this time. There still remains, however, a shortage of several thousand dollars, and an en- ergetic effort i8 now being made to get sufficient subscriptions to allow active work of construction to begin. Hon. H. J. Drane has generously donated a beautiful lot on Missouri avenue and Palmetto street, which will make an ideal site for the insti- tution. being admirably situated, high, and with attractive and quiet surroundings. Several citizens have subscribed very liberal amounts, and 2 committee is now making a canvass to round up those who doubtless will be glad to aid to the extent of their ability an undertaking so worthy. Ii these gentlemen should call on vou in the next day or so, it may be taken as a compliment to their esti- mate of your progressiveness and liberal spirit, and you should treat them accordingly. The advantages of such an insti- tution are too obvious to require ex- tended mention. Time and again the community is confronted with the problem of caring for the victims of accident or other misfortune, and though the people are quick to re- spend, their charitable intentions are to some extent thwarted by the lack of a proper place and proper appli- ances for treatment, The hospital would supply this great need, and would stand as a monument to the humanity of our generous and char- itible people. Every physician in the city is in- torested in the project, and, while it is not expected or intended that the enterprise will be a money-mak- g one, it is anticipated that suffi- cient revenues will be produced from the treatment of patients who are able to pay for attention to render the institution self-supporting. Let all give this work of charity “nd humanity every aid and en- couragement to the full extent of their ability. UADERNDOD DISEISSES PROGRESS OF PROPOSED TANFF LEGISLATON (By Associated Press.)

New York, May 14.—President Taft in a letter o the New York Lawyers’ Amchtlon indorses the as- sociation’s crusade for an increase in the salaries of Federal judge. He says: “I am in favor of increasing the talaries of the Federal judges, and always have been. I do mot think any of them are paid as much as they' ought to receive. I think the dis- rict judges should receive $8,000: the circuit judges, $10,000, and the Supreme Court judges, $20.000 or 225000, Ao S ddmAN Y siawmt e a.

New York, May 14.—Bewitched by the charms of a red-cheeked, raven- haired tot, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, it is reported here today, is straining ev- ery resource to collect $15,000 on !checks signed by her husband. After {this, it is declared, she hopes to quit Thaw entirely. With the beautiful baby boy, whose constant companion she has been ever since its birth in Europe twenty-one months ago, and with $15,000 cap- ital, she hopes to cut loose forever from Thaw, abandoning the $5,000 a year she long has received from him. Her ambition is to seek upon the stage the independent life and free- dom from persona] effort denied her by terms of the contracts under which she has received money from the Thaws. She will not be a witness in the ha- beas corpus proceedings before Jus- tice Keogh in White Plains next month, if she carries out the purpose she has announced to friends. If she were called it would involve exploita- tion of the infant to whom she is ten- derly attached, and whose young life already has had more than its share of mystery.
