At ncon today the situation seemed to' be well in hand. The telephone wires lird been ent and for some reason the Western Union operator could not be reached, which makes it impossible to cet a detailed account of the trou- ble; however, the sheriff's office at Bartow stated over the long distance phone this afternoon that no shots were fired and that there was no truth in the rumors that several peo- Ile had been killed.

To open the doors of the lious?

Representative L'Engle is under- stood to have made a part of his cam- paign on a promise to do what ho could to abolish executive meetings of the committees in Congress, using a8 an argument that he could find nothing in the constitution to author ize them. In talking over the matter recently Mr. L’Engle said he learned that Thomas Jefferson had also objected to secret sessions, and on the whole he believed it only fair that the pe - ple’s businsse should be transacted in the open. It is probable that he will be supported warmly by Repre- sentative Walters of Pennsylvania, the one member of the Progressive party on the District committee.

Inasmuch as we know our home place to be a most suitable location tor the new grammar school building, it is our intention to offer the same to the honorable board ot trusteces for their consideration as a site. The location is just one mile from the present school building. It is on a principal street, it is an unbroken block, containing a little more than two acres. Ridgecrest drive borders it on the north, Florida avenue on the east, Cresap strcet on the south and Missouri avenue on the west, It has thorough drainage, being on top of the ridge, All city conveniences are easily accessible, the sewer run- ring the full length of the block in- sures the opportunity for perfect san- itation. Many shade trees of about thirty years growth cover the grounds, It is centrally located in the south side; the neighborhood will appre- ciate the school. We suggest that the building which now encumbers the grounds will furnish the best of foundation rock for a substantial school house. In buying this tract the school will buy satisfaction. It is most perfect- ly adapted to our needs. MR. AND MRS. JOHN W. SCARR. CURRENCY LEGISLATION MAY RETARD TARIFF BILL (By Associated Press.)
