In talking with several of the lead- ing strawberry dealers of that pro- wressive town Saturday the Tele- graph reporter was informed that the scrvice of the railroad had been very unsatisfactory to the growers and or. account of this they had lost con- siderable money by the delay in get- ting the fruit to the markets when it was fresh and in an attractive and saleable condition. Refrigerator cars shipped out from Lawtey, so it is stated, should reach New York mar- ket in time for sale on the fourth day. In many Instances during th: rresent season the fruit has been de- luyed from five to eight days and the average haul has been six days, which is very detrimental to the in terests of the gprowers and causes them to lose money.—Starke Tele- graph.

RANK CLARK INTRODUGES SOME GODDBILLS DESIRES FISH CULTURE STATIONS ESTABLISHED IN STATE. Coes Right After the Race Question in District of Columbia for Im- provement of Conditions. (By Winfield Jones.) Washington, April 12.-—(Spacial) —Undaunted by his failure to secure the pasraze of important bills ot the fast sess Represen- tative Clark lost no time in re-in- troducing them as soon as the ilouse got down to business today. Mr., Clark took the *“‘come early and avoid ion of Congress, the rush” hint and was one of the’ very first to introduce bills for en- actment i‘ll the extra session. Among the batch of bills introduced are the fellowing: Providing for establishment by the federal government of fish culture stations to be under the aircet sus pervision of ¢hie United States bureau of fisheries, and to be locited at points on the Miami river, St. Lucie river, ludian rviver, Lake Tahopa- kaligo, St. Johns river, Lake Okee: chobee, and New river, each to cost approximately $50,000. Clark be- lieves that under the supervision and protection alforded by the burecau ot fisheries these rivers and lakes will within a comparatively few $ears abound in fish, Another bill making it compulsory for the street railway companies of the Distriet of Columbia to furnisn scparate transportation facilities for white people and negroes. The Con- rress has the right to pass such laws for the government of the District ol Columbia, and it is the belief ot Clark that the putting into effect of such rules regarding street railway travel in Washington would bo quickly followed by the Legislatures of a number of States enacting “Jim Crow" laws, A bill preventing intermarriage of whites with negroes within the Dis- trict of Columbia. Clark holds sim- flar ideas in regard to this bill as he does to the one relating to the “Jim Crow” car law. Intermarriago tetween the two races in the Dis- trict of Columbia is frequent, and it ir for the purpose of setting an ex- ample for other States that Mr. Clark urges the passage of this bill. A bill to entitle all veterans of Seminole Indian wars and all widows o veterans of Seminole Indian wars to pension benefits similar to those enjoyed by veterans of the civil war, Mexican war and Spanish-American war. Some of these bills were referred to committees where the House com- mittees have been named, but the others necessarily will have to wait for disposition until the House lead- ers agree upon all the commttees. It is Clark’s belief that by intro- ducing these bills at the earliest pose sible moment they will be the first to reccive consideration at the hands o! the committees, and therefore will stand a much better chance of pas- sage before the close of the extra | session. Next Sunday Senator Fleteher will speak at the exercises commemoras tive of the vietims of the Titanic dis- aster. The exercises will be held la Contnental Memorial h~1l, headquar- ters in Washineton of the Daughters of the Revolution, and will be ate tended by prominent persons from many sections of the country.
