STEAMBOAT MEN OPPOSE SEAMAN'S BILL Violin and Piano—Under the London, Nov. 14.—Tt is certain |that the German pronosals made at, p,nap_flow Missions Are 1lin- the International Conference on Safety at Sea in session here, are not to receive a cordial ereeting from American steamboat men. The Amer- jcan Association of Steamboat I[lms: has aleo gent a delecation to opnese the passace of the egeamen’s bill, which they say is impossible. There are thirty steamboat lines in the os- coriation and they see in this bill prosper ts of heine driven. ont of busi- ness. The essential feature of the hill. which is eaid to have been drafted by Andrew Furuseth, presi- dent of the Seamen's Union and a eration of Labor, is that these com- panics shall furnich their hoats with enon~h lifekeats to seat every passen- cors and member of the crew and that for each of these lifeboats two able seamen shall be emploved. Tt is the contention of the steamshin companies that ereat lake passencer corvice will be impossible under the rrovicions of this law for the reason that so many lifeboats will make it imnossible to arcommodate a suffi-} cient number of rassencers to make the lines pav. To require that the | boats he manned hy able geamen will eliminate firemen and stewards. An- other reqnirement that seamen ehall {be paid on demand at the end of Hwi [fret half of a trip is alleved to e an! {enconrazement to desertion.

Sec- retary Bryan was busy evchanging messages with Charze O'Shauchnessy at Mexico City about concessions which members of ({uerta’s official e e e make to the United States. The ef- forts by the Mexican administration to recall John d.ind to wne capital are taken to mean that a group about Iuerta wishes to compromise. If Huerta is willing to resien it would not surprise Washin2ton if the news is withheld until arrancements are made for a successor who is suit- able to the constitutionalists. For- eign Minister Moheno s reported to be the man who would be chosen if Huerta gets out.

THOSE WHO ARE WINNERS OF BOYS' CORN CLUB PRIZES | The final measurement of the acre crops of corn grown under the county contest shows the prize winners as follows: First Prize—Norman Hurn, Has- kell, 64 7-10 bushels.

JUDGE G HIS REASONS FOR DECISION IS UPHOLDING LAW PASSED BY LEGISLATURE AT LAST SESSION That Body Within Its Rights Grant: ing Lakeland Right to Establish Commission Form 14.—On Oct. 22 W. L. Finzer by his attorney, Eppes Tucker, Jr., filed in the circuit court of this county a bill for injunction against the City of Lakeland. On the same day in behalf of the City of Lakeland, Blanton & Lawler filed in jthe same court a demurrer and an- |swer to the bill of complaint. The complainant in his bill souzht to re- strain the regular eclection of city officers called for Nov. 17, on the :ground that a commission form of igovernment for Lakeland had been previously established, which would jon Jan. 1 take the place of the reg- ‘ular city government. The defend- iant resisted the granting of a re- straininy order on the ground that the resolution passed by the City Council on Sept. 8, and afterwards adopted at an election called for that purpose, did not do away with the existing eity officers. The defend- ant further contended that inasmuch as the law under which the commis- sion form of government was adopt- ed did not specify what ghall be the duties, powers and limitations of the commissioners, the commission form of government was void and ineffee- tive. Judge Whitney yesterday eizned a decree in accordance with the prayer of complainant's bill restraining the holding of the rezular city election on Nov. 17. The city election called for Nov. 17 will therefore not be held unlegss the Supreme Court erants a supersedeas to Judze Whit- ney's ruling. Judge Whitney intended to write an opinion for the benefit of the par- ties to the guit and for the informa- tion of the citizens of Lakeland, but the press of conrt buginess has bheen g0 ereat that he has not found time to do so0. In a convercation with yonr cor- resnondent Judee Whitney 5 that he conld not deny the injfunction un- lees he ghould hold that the [ecis- lature had no richt a law permitting the City of Lakeland to establish a commisgion form of cove ernment, and he is of the oninion that the passaze of this law is clear- ly within the power of the #.ecicla- ture. Ile ig further of the opinion that becange the powers, duties and limitations of the commiscioners are not elearly get forth in the law, the | commission is not for that reason ineffeetive. The conrt wasg not ealled npon to decide what are the dities, powers and limitations of the commissioners, and since thelr duties, powers and limitations are not preseribed in the law, confusion will donbtless result, Dut the ques- tions arisinz on this account will have to be cettled as thev arise. The conrt sureestg that the commission- ors may derive many of their duties, nd limitations from the cen- eral law zoverning municipalities.
