JONES, Principal. LAKELAND IGE PLANT {0LD TODAY FOR S50,00 Engineering Securities Co., of New York, Are the Purchasers of This Fine Property- A big deal was consummated to- day when the Lakeland Ice and Re- frigerating Co. sold its plant and s0ud will to the Engineering Securi- ues Co, of New York, for $160,000. The deal includes all the ice man- uiacturing machinery together with the real estate on which the new plant is located, but does not include tLe site of the old plant at the in- tersection of Florida avenue and the ruilroad. This site will be cleared of the old building in which the busi- ness has been conducted until recent- l¥, and the lots probably will be paced on the market as business property. The business of the Lakeland Ice and Refrizerating Co., of which E. I, Younzs, Jr., has been the active manager, he and O. M. Eaton bein~ the principal owners, has a record of phenomenal development. The business was purchased in 1908 by Messrs, Youngs and Eaton or 15,000, the equipment at that time consist- ing of an eizht-ton plant, and tho annual volume of business being aleut $12,000, The business has been developed, throuzh superb man- acement until it now has perhaps the most up-to-date plant in the State, with a capacity of 125 tons daily, and doing a business of about $80,- 000 a year. Not only are the local demands amply covered, but there Js a larze outeide business, one item In- elvded in the gale being a contract from the Fruit Growers Express, ot Chicaro, covering 500 miles of ter- ritory. The new proprietors are to take poseession on May 1. Mr. Youngs has fcrmulated no plans for the future and probably will take a well-earned rest, as he has devoted his energies untiringly to the upbuilding of this business, and deserves to enjoy the fruits of his splendid management. ——————— (By Associated Press.)

Tarif Revision Bill Presented to the Louse Today Carries Many Ar- ticles on Free List. (By Associated Press.) Wasghington, Apml 7.—The new turitf Lill inwoduced in the llouse vroviaes for the removal of all tarifc on meats, flour, bread and other ar- ticles of focd and clothing. There are broad reductions of duty on all uecessaries of life and an increase iu tariff on many luxuries. The new law would place a tax on ircomes exceeding four thousand dol- lars a year; sugar would be free of duty in 1916 with an immediate 25 per cent reduction; and raw wooi vould be free immediately with cor- respondingly heavy reduction on all wcolen goods. The reciprocity clause empowers the president to grant favors to any nation giving mutual concession to the United States, but the normal rotes shall be the maximum. In the present law the normal rates are the m'nimum. A concession cof 5 per cent would be made on all tariff rates on soods brought in American-built ships and owned by Americans. Important to Floridians are the following changes in the tariff: Nursery cuttings and scedlings frem 25 to 15 per cent. Fresh vegetables from 25 to 156 per cent. Apples, peaches, etc., from 25 cents to 10 cents per bushel. Rasins from 21 cents to 2 per pound. L.emons, present rate, 1% cents per pound; propcsed new rate 18 cents for package under one and one: fourth cubic feet, 35 cents for pack- age up to two and one-half cubic feet; 70 cents for package up to five cubic feet; half cent per pound for pound of lemons in bulk or In larger package. Oranges, limes, grapefruit, etc present rate, 1 cent per pound; pro- posed rate same as for lemons. Pineapples from 8 to 6 cents per cubic foot in barrels or packages: from $8 to $5 per thousand in bulk The president is undecided wheth- er the tariff should be revised sched- ule by schedule or in a single bill. Seven Democratic senators argued with him favoring the schedule re- vielon but went away with the im- pression that he favored a single bili The matter must be decided before the caucus tomorrow. ADORUM-WILL GONTINUE A5 AN AMUSEMENT HOUSE Directors of the Auditofipm Asso. ciation Came to This Decision at Recent Meeting. cents It is with considerable pleasure that the Telegram announces that the Chautauqua Auditorium will be continued as an auditorium and will hereafter be open to the public, in- stead of being closed, on a certain date, and later converted into a ho- tel. This decision on the part of the directors was brought about by the City Coundil acceding to their wishes in certain concessions they desired. The Auditorium will continue as for- merly under the management of Mr. McDonough, who by his courteous treatment has won many friends for the house. MURDOCK WAS, NOMINATED BUT THAT WAS ALL.

(By Assoclated Press.) Washington, Apil 7.—Womau suffraseties marched to the capitol five hundred strong today petition- ing for equal suffrage. They repre- sented every congressional district. In contrast to the disorderly scenea of March 3, the marchers were well protected by lines of police,who were afoot, a-horse and cn bicycles. The scenes at the capitol were also order- ly. The suffragettes presented their petition and had meetings outside be- fore dispersing. GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE WILL BE COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENT. Fla., April 7.—For tica of the public and of members of. the Legislature, Governor Park Trammell has been giving to the press certain of the recommendations which he will submit to the Legisla- tore that will meet here tomorrow.

But that hope had seemed vain fn- deed till Senator Drane arrived on the scene Thursday night and showed his fricnds what be had and what senators were still unpledged and free to vote for either of the three senators in the race.

Tallahassee, Fla., April 7.—The 'fion, H. J. Drane, first senator to rrive, came from Lakeland with but a fighting chance of winning the presidency, but the old saying con- cerning the early bird is about to establigh itself agzain, for Drane is developing considerable strength in certain quarters where his opponeni was expected to be the stronger. Senator F. M. Hudson, of Miami, who was considered the leading can- date for this post of honor, was pres- ident of the Senate four years ago, i'e is now bezinning his third term. It is always a newly elected or re- elected senator, not a hold-over, who ia chosen to wield the gavel in the upper branch. l The fact that Senator Hudson has had the position once before and be- cause he is attorney for the railroad commiesion at a salary greater than that drawn by any member of the cabinet or:supreme court and other circumstances known best by thos2 who are familfar with the iza- fio'n-o‘f the Senate two ago, had | & number of | : hope (Ry Assoclated Press.)
