New York, July 26.—Deputy Po- lice Commissioner Dougherty is pre- pared to give the “third degree' to Frank Girofici, who the commission- er says, is “Dago Frank,” one of the slayers of the gambler, Herman Ro- senthal. Cirofici was arrested last night while smoking opium. His brain was too befogged then to talk straight. He admitted, however, that he knew Harry Horowitz and Louis Kosenburg, both of whom are want- ed for the killing. The confession of William Shapiro, the driver of the murder car, has cleared up many points in the evi- dence, acording to the police. The investigation by the grand jury of the relations of the police with the gamblers is proving more than satisfactory, DECLARES GAPTAIN OF TITANIG 15 LVING Sensational Story of Baltimore Man Who Claims to Have Seen Capt.

COAST LINE PLANS TO DOUBLE PART OF TRACK. We have before us the Year Book for 1911, issued by our national agricultural department, kindly sent by Hon. W. W. Wedemeyer, repre- sentative in Congress from this dis- trict, the statistics of which are based on the census of 1910, which pre- sents instructive details from every State, and we have been greatly sur- prised at the disclosures in regard to Florida. People generally think of it ag the land of the orange and the vine, v. here flowers ever blossom and sun- beams ever shine, with a delightful climate for winter visitors and tour- ists, who are the most profitable for tl:e State of anything found or grown within its borders. Who thinks of Florida as a pro- ducer of corn? Of course, it is not a corn State. But the Year Book shows that 636,000 acres of Florida land were devoted to raising corn in 1911, and thig is exactly the same as the combined acreage of what is known as the far western group of States, cleven in all, including California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Ida- Lo, ete. It is also more than the com- bined acreage of al] the North Atlan- tic States, omitting New York and Fennsylvania., The money value of the Florid: corn crop for 1911 exceeded in amount that of the entire New Eng- land States, the region where Amer- ican johnnycake achieved early nown, and where corn grown by the (By Associated Press.)
