Fletcher is chair- man, is meeting with a great recep- tion in Europe. The commission is 1w split up into different parties, which are studying co-operative hanking and agricultural co-opera- ticn in fourteen of the European countries.

WHAT OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE DOING IN WASHINGTON. (By Winiicli Jones,) Washington, June Y.—Herbert 5. Phillips, of Tampa, has been nowmi- nated by President Wilson to be United States district Attorney for the Southern Districe of Florida. He probably will be confirmed by the Senate in a few days. Phillips is uow State's attorney for Flcrida. He 1an for Congress agains. Represen- tative Sparkman at the last election. e was recommended for tie posi- tion by Senators Bryan and Fletcher. Senator Bryan left Saturday for I'lorida where he will stay about a week. When Senatof Fletcher's bill to suspend the executive order of Pres- ident Taft reorganizing the customs service was reported by the Senate ccmmerce committee and amend- «d 8o as to provide for a six monthLs suspension, Senator Fletcher tried to btmve the bill immediately consid- erel. Objection was made, however, by Senator Works, and the matter was passed over until today, wlen Senator Fletcher will again try to have the bill taken up and passed, This six months’ suspension is favored by Secretary of the treas- vry McAdee, who believes the action of President Taft was entirely hasty, and that a six months’ suspension siould be allowed so as to correct scme of the inequality connected with the reorganization plan. Senator Fletcher has presented to the Senate a resolution adopted by the county commissiones of Duval county, stating that in 1913 the county issued bonds to the extent ot $300,000, on which the county has since been paying interest, to 1ay for the deepening of St. Johns river, so as to make it a navigable stream. The county cormissioners now take the position that inasmuch ar river and harbor improvement is chargeable to the federal govern- ment, the United States should re- imburse the county. Representative Sparkman was to- day advised by the war department that orders have been issued, at his request, for a detachment of troops from Fort Dade, to go to Braden- town, on July 4, to participate in Independence Day exercizes. Tke Senate has confirmed the nom- inations "of Florida, E. Gay as post- master at Lynn Haven, and J. N. Willis at Williston.

R, PAINIZR'S DEATH AND THE INSURANCE CO..PANIXS Orignating in “Dixie,’ tie remaius ot the late k. 10 ascertain - whether lamler committeed suicide. That there are two sides to every proposi- tion is shown by the following from the Ocala Banner: The unfortunate drowning of Mr. 1. 0. Painter, of Jacksonville, has cuused a most cruel statement to be made against the insurance compun- its in which the deceased carried heavy policies, The charge is made that the said soon as it was rescued from the un- wiendly waters, hurried it t® an un- vil- ture-like, tore his neart out, sawed removed his dertaking establishment, and, his skull and disemboweled open braius, him and chipped his stomach to Baltimore tor and ulterior aralysis, the sinister purpose being to resist the payment of the claims on some technical and labricated grounds. Mr. Cecil Wilcox, one of the insur- ance agents, who sold Mr. Painter policies amounting to a half milllon dollars, was in our office Tuesdav, nd says that the statements are en- tirely untrue and are cruelly un- Jjust. He avers positively that the autop- £} on Mr. Painter's body was made it the instigation of the E. 0. Pain:- with the full knowledge and approval of Mrs. Painter and beforc the companies had been notified of Jir. Painter’s death. Mr. Wilcox says that the publisked slatements are a wanton imputation on the integrity, character and standing of the agents, and seeks to make them as cruel and ferocious as S0 many hyenas. Mr. Wilcox says further that the companies, within their rights, and as they are in duty bound to .do ter the protection of other policyholders, will endeavor to produce before a court of competent jurisdiction, that Mr. Painter’s drowning v:as premcdi- tated and not accidental, but if it is not so shown that every policy held by Mr. Painter will be paid promptly and without a murmur. He says that the companies owe a duty to the living as well as to Lhe dead, and that no company will do a thing outside of its plain and pal- peble duty and acknowledged rights. er Co,, MILITANTS DESTROY $70,000 WORTH OF PROPERTY.

Supervising Architect L. A. Fort Gives Interesting Account of Its Equipment. Everybody is interested in the new hotel, and Saturday Mr. L. A. Iert, the supervising architect, was explaining some of the details of the Luilding to a party of ladies and as the Telegram readers will not doubt be interested in reading about how the hostelry will be equipped, we sive below the interesting account of the equipment as told by Mr. Fort: “No, my ‘dear ladics, We have Clniinated @11 the farm house fea- [ tores from the hotel that still might L found in some of the so-called cesidences and hotels in the ot Lakeland. 'The hotel will have ro luxuries at all, but will be equip- ped ip the manner of any residence suitable for tenants of moderate means and refinement. The blue or gray enameled washbasing with the pitcher of stale water and the tow- el for general use, all standing on tLe back porch on a bench near the dining room door is not going to be there. The guest will also not be rcquired to go with a bucket to an cil stove to get hot water when they want to take a bath or wash their lace. Such equipments are antede- luvian and during my extensive travels I have not found them any- where except — , but never mind, since you know, as you told me you traveled, too, didn't you? While not every room will have a private bath, it will not be necessary for any trav- ler to bring his rubber “tub’” along 15 they do it in England. We have orovided a large public bathroom with a big bath tub and one of those tricky showers as you might have scen in some of the better class of ‘Turkish baths, where a traveler can take part for a nominal fee in a de- luge of hot or cold water as his heart desires. “Now you laugh for using the word 4eluge, but I am not joking, I mean what [ say, just listen, We provided & Zi-horse-power high ivessure steam boiler in the base- inent—No, madam, we will have no cngines running. This boiler is ex- c'usively for the purpose of supply- ing live steam to the vegctable cook- or, soup kettle, steam table, coffee urn, roll warmer, and bakery oven and dishwater, ete., in the Kitchen end to make 1,200 gallons of hoil- ing hot water per hour, In a hotel it weuld of course be impossible to de- ‘end on an inexhaustible supply of iot water. You must know that with our present number of rooms ‘¢ might have to accommodate 120 » 150 people and they all might ant a bath during the hours of 6 to & in the morning or want hot v.oter for other purposes. Conse- quently with this high pressure oiler we provided a hot water stor- a¢e tank with a net capacity of 750 wallons. This storage tank has a iarge and long copper coil in which the high pressure stem circulates and keeps the water of the tank at the boiling point. From this stor- “ge tank big pipes rise straight to the roof and drop down through branches to every bathtub, shower Lath and washbasin throughout the building. No, madam, there will be 0 waiting at the faucets for hot water to run. Our system In the sc-called circulating system, The ‘ot water naturally rises and on reaching its greatcst height is dis- tributed ,on the roof it will cool oft and start back to the tank in the circulation, You see, the hot water iirculates just behind every faucet and consequentiy runs out hot from iy faucet the moment the same is opened and don’t waste any water !y waiting until the hot water pine empties its cold water contents. Ftey used to make such hot water tor invented the ad we hay water meter, e to pay for eve gal- lon of water rezistered by the meter, we must be economical and. would rather invest now in a little more hu.nt' WOOD‘:AEN HAD Pu]]l‘ SART VIiSIT TO TAuPA YLSILRDAY Lakeland Camp No. 78, W. 0.

Don't get worried or uneasy ahout tlose big firelines running up on the inside of the two wings. cidedly is our building fireproof, buvt since water filled matresses and pil- lows, asbestos blankets, etc., are not yet invented, we have to have some fire protection apparatus in addition te our fireproof construction, You know that they don't ask guests in hotels about their habits and conse- quently a hotel has to put up with all kinds of habits In their guests. You no doubt have heard about those fellows who go to bed with a lighted cigar or cigarette, fall asleep wnd burn up the house and them- sclves. Now, that fire line will have a long hose with a big nozzle on two places on each floor and the help will be instructed how to apply a douche to such fellows In cXse of cmergency and save his room, his neighbor's and other parts of the Luilding. No, madam, such floodling will not damage the building. You know, we have no wood floors in any part; a small fire like that might scorch a window or door frame, damage the furniture of the room in which the fire originated, but it cannot burn any further, even if they let the fire burn., “Yes, 1 said no wood floors throughout the entire building. The lcbby and dining room, also bath and toilet rooms will all be tiled and the rest will be cement floors. “No, the rooms will not look ugly with such floors. We provided wood- en nailing strips imbedgd in the ce- ment floors around the walls in all Ledrooms so that carpets can be stretched, We found this the moet satisfactory and sanitary for this ciimate. “Yes, madam, we provided for t: too. It will not be necessary to take un the carpets for cleaning exce: cnce a year as we provided electriz outlets for our powerful vacunm cleaner, “Now excuse me, madam, for to- day, for that fellow up there isa't doing that cornice work as I de- ed it and I must hustle up before it is too late. “Don’t hesitate to come along again.
