With nine negroes in tow, ring leaders in the Loughman disturo- ance, Sheriff Logan reached the city this morning and reported everything quiet in that town now. Accompanied by eight deputies, Sheriff Logan went up on the after- noon train to Loughman yesterday, and surprised the blacks there last night by going up on them while they were being paid off. Six of the ring leaders had already been ar- rested by deputies on the ground ve- fore the arrival of the sheriff, and three more were promptly placed un- der arrest, and the whole bunch were escorted to the county jail this morn- fng by Sheriff Logan, where they will be held to face a eerious charge at the next term of Circuit court. "Last night a crowd hung around the depot umtil a late hour ready to go out should ‘& lpeclal train be called for, but this was found un- uecessary, as the disturbers were ar- *| rested with little trouble. Loughman being a small place and many negroes employed there, the races ara rather evenly divided, and for that reason the ‘whites deemed it necessary to have all the protection possible; however, they stood to their guns and held the negroes in their places, and it is a relief to know that tho trouble has now all blown over, SWINDLED PRES: BYTERIANS OLT OF LARGE SUM Manager of Match Co.

Sheats discovered last week that fraud was being perpe- trated in the examination of white teachers in the examination of white teachers at Tallahassee. The evi- dence was conclusive and beyond 2 coubt, Supt. Sheats at once ordered the examination discontinued anc the entire work thrown out uni s evidence could be furnished showing conclusively who the guilty part!ss were. Thereupon several who were taking the examination voluntarily offered to give the names of those who were guilty of the fraud. The names were g@iven at once. The fiaud had been bold and open. Cer- tain applicants had admitted to oth- er applicants that they were cheat- ing, had cheated in the past and ex- pected to continue doing 8o in the future. The county superintendent was then ordered to throw out the names of all such guilty applicants and to give them no certificates of any grade. This will be Supt. Sheats’ policy in all future examinations. Whenever fraud is discovered or suspected in any examination the innocent appli- cants must furnish to the county su- perintendent or the examiner the names of the guilty ones and the evi- dence against them, or the whole ex- amination will be declared null and veid. Supt. Sheats has asked for a new law that would elimi- the examinations but the Legislature just adjourned has declined to pass it Mr, Sheats will now take vigor- ous steps to place the examination upon an honest basis if possible. .

WLL FGHT FOR REORGANIZATION JILL 1V SENATE CUSTOMS SERVICE BILL WILL HARDLY BE HEARD BY THAT BODY BEFORE JULY 1 However, Florida Democrats Will Work for Its Passage, Which Suspends Taft's Order. (By Wintield Jones.) Washington, June 14 —Senator Fletcher has secured passage by the Senate of his bill to suspend for six months the executive order issued by Former President Taft for reor- sanization of the customs service. r'he Tatt plan would make one dis- irict of llorida, naming Jackson- ville as the district hearquarters, and a few sub-ports. It is now muccessary to obtain its passage through the liouse betore .o Ccal becowe a law. lhis is going (o be no casy matter, although the vill has the endorsement of the Lewocratic administration, Repre- sentative Sparkman said today that Le is contemplating introducing the Jenate bill in the Louse, and urging 1ts passuge at the earliest possible mcment. e beljeves it will bt, much easier to take the Senate billl and pass it through the House with- out amendwent, then to take a new Lill and have it submitted to debate and numerous amendments, Besides the Senate bill will carry with it the prestige which usually accrues to & biil which has stood the brunt ot battle in the Senate and adled to that is the forceful endorsemeut of the bill by Secretary of the Treas- ury McAdoo. Representative Sparkman, how- ever, probably will find that he has & big job on his hands. There are a number of Republicans in the House who favor carrying out the Taft pro- gram for reorganization, Then again the Taft plan automatically goes into effect on July 1. And as the House is simply marking time now it 18 going to be no easy matter o awaken it from its lethargy and have it jump into a warm debate and discussion of the customs service. Added to this is the fact that the House has agreed to “mark time" until June 23, when Ip_oth'er‘wcuucua {6 to be held to map out a plan of action, It has already been agreed to take up no matters of legislation other than those which obtain unanimous consent for the customs feorganization suspension plan. Therefore it will be necessary to ob- tain a special rule for consideration of the bill. All these things will take time and it will be hard to se- cure the passage of the Senate bill before July 1, Representative Clark was among a large number of congressmen and senators interested in navy yards, who participated in a public hearing lately, to discuss the general subject of wage scales at navy yards on the Atlantic coast. Those present, included a dozen or more delegates from the yards at | Washington, Norfolk, Charleston, S. C., Philadelphia, New York and Boston, together with a strong con- gressional delegation, including Sen- ator Tillman, of South Carolina and Representatives Fitzgerald, of New York, and Roberts and Curley, of Massachusetts, Clark of Florida, 0’Shaughnessey of Rhode Island, ¥, Maher of New York ani Humphreys of Washington. J. J. Purcell of the International League also was pres- ent. In opening the hearing, Secretary Paniels sald it was his desire to get as much light on the subject of wages at the government navy yards' as possible direct from the employes themselves, and that conditions and needs as possible. He knew that the subject of wages was important td> the navy yard employes, and he wanted them to understand that the officials of the administration recog- nized its importance also to the gov- ernment Although he desired to hear all, he suggested that each class select a srokesman and briefly as possible, adding that briefs might be filed up to Junt 25. It was his desire to give the question full consideration and announce his actiop before the beginning of the next fiscal year,' July 1. In order to simplify matters as| much as possible it was decidod to hear from the representatives of the respective yards in turn, beginning| with the yard at Portsmouth, N. H., followed in order by the yards at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Norfolk, Charleston and others. The substance of all the speeches was a demand for increased wages to meet the increased cost of living, and in most instances that demana involved criticism of the naval wage boards and the so-called scientitic system of shop management. In the case of the Norfdglk yard it was clamed that the employes there re- ceive less wages for the same class of work than similar employes at other yards. M. L. Plympton and J. B. Hodges, of Lake City, were in Washington today and held a long conference with Representative Clark. Mr, Plympton is the leading merchan* oi Lake City, and is understood tu have Leila I.
