The ground was taken that when the old municipal government was abolished in 1911 to make way for a new charter, the latter, owing to some defect in its matter or the manner of its adoption, never became operative. It is somewhat singular that at this day, after the charter has been picked to pieces, letter by letter, by the ablest attorneys of the country; after having stood the test of the Su- preme Court to satisfy the buyer of TLakeland bonds; and after enabling the city to borrow a tremendous sum of money and make great municipal improvements—it is somewhat singu- lar, we repeat, to find now that the instrument is entirely worthless, and that we are not even living in an in- corporated town. It merely goes to‘ show how little we really need things that we have grown to consider es-! sential, and how easy it is for Lake-| land to forge ahead and do bllsin(‘SS‘ on a pretty extensive scale, without even a charter which most cities con- sider necessary for their existence. NEW LINE-UP OF BANKING COM. (By Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 7.—An entire- ly new line-up in the Senatl» bank- ing committee with a majority for the administration, appeared today when the committee reconsidered the action of reducing the numter cf re gional reserve banks in the currency plan. Senators Reed and O'Gorman, Democrats, who before voted with, the Republicans, voted witi the Dem- ocrats today as did Senator Crawford, a Republican senator. Hitcheock, a Democrat, lined up with the Repub licans. (By Assoclated Press.) Washinzton, Nov. 6.—Administra- tion forces today planned to mnake one more attempt to unite the Demo- crats of the Senate banking commit- tee on the currency bill. That meas- ure has been extensively amended by a coalition of Democrats and Repub- licans of the committee. Leaders to- day decided that if a bill which meets the approval of the administration is not ready by Monday a Democratic caucus will be called and the meas- ure will then be taken from the hands of the committee and made a caucus bill. Senators Owen, Hollis, Pomeron and Shafroth, who have stood by the provisions of the admin- istration bill, will prepare a separate report. Administration supporters declare that changes written into the bill will alter the purposes of the measure.

THE LAKELAND HALL OF FAME | Of all the handsome men who will grace the stage and delight the pub- ilic during the minstrel performance | given by the Lakeland Lodge of Elks at the Auditorium the evening of Dec. 2 none will be handsomer and none more entertaining than William Theodore Goodyear. Mr. Goodyear, who has a sylph- like form, a shock of Titian red hair and a pair of eyes that can see things around a corner, will be one of the bevy of end men beauties in the Elks' minstrel aggregation and is booked to sing, “Dusty Rag,” a tuneful ditty having marked Ethio- pian characteristics. Our hero was born near Gainesville at an early aze and while still in swaddling clothes emizrated to the wr'onhnoq of classic Ocala, where he went to school until he narrowly !misced graduation. The temptations of mortar and of pestle were too much for him, how- {ever, and he deserted the halls of |learning for the mysteries of the pill |box and eoda fountain. After hold- {ing forth in the Ocala drug store for two years, he enrolled at the Max Morris School of Pharmacy at Ma- con, (ia., where he served a good long term, although it was congider- ably ¢hortened by good behavior. Since his formal ‘“cominz Mr. Goodyear, who is something on |the works, has been relief man at jand sundry Florida cites and rumor has it that he has never failed to give relief to man or beast.

The minimum rate in the four twin serew American liners, once record holders, will be $52.50 and the maximum rate $100, for rooms with baths. None of the suites will be disturbed. The line hopes to attract people of moderate means, particularly teachers and stu- dents, to patronize its two ships, the New York and St. Paul, which have not been large profit winners in re- cent years. The second cabin ships of other companies have been money earners, notably the French liners Rochambeau and Chicago and the Hamburg-American and North Ger gated to second class.
