HERBERT PHILIPS PULLS DOWN U. 5 ATTORNEYSHIP Prominent Floridian Was Today Ap- pointed District Attorney of Southern Florida, (By Winfleld Jones.) Washington, June 6.—(Speclal— Herbert S. Phillips of Tampa was to- cay nominated united States attor- ney for the Southern Florida dis- trict. This office has been held by R. P. Marks, of Jacksonville. Mr. Phillips is onme of the best known and most popular men n pub- lic life in Florida. He was for sev- eral years prosecuting attorney in the district which then included ‘| Polk county ,and made a most able and conscientious official. In the last congressional campaign he was a candidate against Hon, 8. M. Spark- man, and it was only the prestige of the latter won in many jyears of the service in Congress and his position as chairman of the river and bar- bors that kept Mr. Phillips from realizing his ambition. The news of his appointment will be very grati- tying to a host of people n South Florida. BOY SCOUTS ORGARIZED LAST NIGHT.

ELINDS [ = AN INSSTS WO INPORTANT | 13 TREATY HAS | BILLS PASSED EN VIOLATED| BOTH HOUGES HER LATEST PROTEST WAS PRE- SENTED TO PRESIDENT WIL- SON TODAY. Chief Executive Will Take Up Matter of Rejoinder With Cabinet Tomorrow. (By Associated Press.) Washington, June 5.—Japan’s lat- ¢st word in her protest against the California land legislation was be- tore President Wilson today waiting to be presented to the cabinet meet- ing tomorrow. It is probably that {he cabinet will consider a rejoinder cnly in a preliminary way, as Bry- aD expects to leave the city immedi- ately after the meeting for Pitts- burg to attend a banquet to George \V. Guthrie, the newly appointed am- bassador to Japan. Ambassador Chinda also will be a guest at the Pittsburg banquet. The next step in the negotlations is the United States’ reply to Ja- pan’s rejoinder. This is expected to take up Japan's reiterated contention that California is violating the treaty of 1911, which is derogatory to the cqual treatment which the Japanese cxpect under the international law and therefore a racial discrimina- ton. The whole tone of the Japanese rejoinder invites further negotiations and impressed the officials at Wash- ington favorably. Wilson Confers with Japanese Am- bassador Today. Washington, June 5.—President Wilson arranged for a conference at 4 o'clock today with the Japanese ambassador to discuss Japan's latest note of protest against California legislation. Bryan was to confer with the president before the am- bassador was received and give the president his views of Japan's re- joinder to the United States’ last note. BOARD OF TRADE MEETS TOMORROW NIGHT. The regular monthly mesting of th Lakeland Board of Trade will be held in the rooms of the Board, in the Anditorium building tomorrow night.

Hazelton, Pa., June 4.—Girls em- ployed at a ghirt factory here where a strike is in progress today, used hat pins in fighting off the pickets of the United Mine Workers and other cnions who tried to induce them to remain away from the factory. LOBBY INVESTIGATION STILL CONTINUES. (By Associated Press.) Washington, June 5.—The Senate committee today continued its b- vestigation of the tariff lobby, Sena- tors Sherman and Gore testified that sugar men callel on them. Senator Hoke Smith after a talk with the president said he considers the leg- islative bodies as a court and any attempt to influence the legislator’s judgment after an argument is pre- sented by those persistently seeking to create a sentiment is Insidious and objectionable lobbying. It is be- lieved that the investigation will re- veal a lobby for sugar and wool. STATE TAX COMMISSION BILL AND CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT, Both Houses Have Also Passed the Citrus Fruit Bill—Adjourn Tomorrow Noon. (By J. Hugh Reese.) Tallahassee, June 5.—7The State tax commission bill from the Senate passed the llouse and the corrupt practices act from the House passed the Senate, completing the legislative circuit of two of the most important bills before the Legislature which ad- Jjourns tomorrow. There is a disagreement over the rure food bill and a conference com- mittee will attempt to settle the dii- ferences. This seems to be the only bill that is likely to deter adjourn-|——— ment at the hour set—noon, There is a fight on between the State chem- ist and the commissioner of agricul- ture on this measure which has last- ed through the season and unless on agreement is reached there may be a setting back of the clock for many hours, Tonight President Drane of the :Senate and Speaker Karris of the House will receive gifts from the re- spective bodies, over which they pre- slde. This is a time-honored custom and it attends with pleasing cere- monies. The Senate passed the citrus fruit bill requiring an acid test to deter- mine whether fruit is green or not. It provids for a 1.30 acid test or one- half color test. 1t passed the House last night by a vote of 38 to 20 and today passed the Senate. CHANGES MADE AT 'THIS SESSION IN PENSION LAWS.

PAOSPEGTS 6000 EOR FAEE SUGAR, SHOES, LUMBER, W00 Administration Leaders Say That No Changes Will Be Made in Schedule. peconic (By Associated Press.) Washington, June 5.—President, Wilson's pcsition of favoring free wool and sugar seems to be growing strouger as the day for the Senate Democratic caucus approaches. The tariff will be put to the acid test there. Party leaders feel that the president’s stand will be supported almost unanimously, excepting by a few senators released from the cau- cus pledge. Adminpistration leaders declare free shoes, lumber, agricul- tural products, wool, sugar, as pro- vided in the Underwood bill will stand. The probability of amend- ments to those items on the floor of the Senate is lessening. CUSTOM SERVICE REORGANI- ZATION IS POSTPONED. (By Assoclated Press.)

No. 184. e NULD GE A 10 ADVERTISE UNITED STATES ARKANSAS INTRODUCES BILL TO PLACE EXHIBITS ON OUR BATTLESHIPS. t Congress Can Hatch Out Foolish Bills as Well as Some Legis. latures. (By Winfield Jones.) Washington, June 5.—Representa~ tive Goodwin, from one of the Ar- kansas backwoods districts, has made an old bdd for fame by intor- ducing a bill in the House to use the navy for advertising American man- ufacturers and products abroad. Goodwin, overlooking the fact that there is no superfluous space on a warship, wants space allotted on the battleships and cruisers to install ccmmercial exhibits, which can be shown to merchants in foreign ports, and thus stimulate American trade. There are many “freak’” bills in- troduced in Congress at each ses- sion, but the Arkansan’s measura tops anything seen at this session for freakiness. The new congress- man introduced his bill in all seri- ousness, too, which goes to show what Arkansas produces in the line of congressinal timber, “‘Opposed to senseless multiplica- tion of useless battleships,” he de- clares, “I see no reason why those we have built at so great expense should not be used in advancing American trade before they rot and become junk. “Our strength and security lle not in battleships and dreadnaughts se much as in our isolation, the ahsence oi entangling alliances and our peaceful pursuits. All peoples are looking to the United States to take This moment, when Europe {8 an armed camp and England equips ev- en merchantmen with complements of guns, would, to my mind, be a proper time to set the wholesome example of converting costly and menacing engines for war to the paceful micsion of displaying Amer- ican handicraft in the world's eager market, “From latest available report om movements of our navy it appears that much time is spent by battle- ships, cruisers and gunboats in for- elgn ports. Yet trade reports show hw cmparatively unknwn are Amer- fcan goods in tehe ssame ports fre- quented by American warships, “To work out details is a task left entirely with skilled experts and en- gineers of our navy department. They are familiar with every cubic inch of space of every vessel and know to what extent and for what Turposes employed. Then practical business sense of our commerce de- partment will co-ordinate in this work. The regulations formulated would set out the nature of exhibits and conditions upon which such ex- hibits would be received; so those who would avail of the service could obtain full instructions, schedules of the itinerary of vessels, and detailed information as to how, when and where to make application for allote ments of exhibition space. The cone gular service would co-ope-ate to bring to the attention of foreigm merchants this innovation and are range for proper publicity. “The commercial organizations throughout the country will, I am positive,” he says, “appreciate the possibilities of the proposition. Friends of a big navy would do well t) analyze this plan carefully if they would take seriously the recent re- marks of Secretary Daniels on the importance of making the navy a popular institution.” Can you beat it? ] GIRLS HERE'S YOUR CHANCE; BE A TRAINED NURSE, (By Associated Pro Washington, June 5.—A hospital romance culminated last night {w the marriage of Edward G.
