W. Parker, traveling salesman for the Weyenberg Shoe Co., of Mil= Lakeland last night, registering at the Kibler, and this morning his mind either gave way under the heavy strain of work he has been doing, or he was under the influence of a dope of some kind, as he began acting queerly on the streets, and was finally taken into custody by the poice until his con. dition becomes normal or his people can be communicated with. Mr. Parker at first attracted at- tention to himself by accosting dif- *ferent people on the street, offering to zive them several business houses in the city, those which he was dis- pensing free.handed being Joe Le- Vay’s clothing store, The Dutton Harris Shoe Co., and also a half in. terest in the Red Cross Pharmacy. He also gave away his Ford car. The police induced him to accom= pany them toward the jail, but just before reaching the City Hall he re- fused to budge, and it was with con. siderable difficulty that he was in- duced to continue promenading to- ward his place of confinement. He has been very voluble in his com- ments this afternoon on Ford cars that pass the City Hall, his mind ap. parently dwelling on some part of their mechanism. From letters he has in his posses. sion he is the head salesman for his Auditorium NO ATTRACTION TONIGHT day, May 28— MOOSE MINSTREL ) Singers, Comedians, Specialty Artists SPECIAL FIRST PART SPE- .

HOLWORTHY EXPLAINS WHY LAKELAND WAS LEFT OFF ROUTE Editor Evening Telegram: I understand some question has arisen regarding my support of a proposition at Kissimmee last Satur- day to locate the Dixie Highway along such a route as not to pass through Lakeland. T expected such question and, for the benefit of those who do not understand the reason for this apparent neglect on my part; I will say that in the first place I was the only representative of Lakeland at that meeting, in spite of the fact that I wrote every member of the Polk County Good Roads Association (a number whom -are Lakeland men) an urgent letter several days before this meet- ing, calling attention to the impor- tance of it and begging their at- tendance. In the second place, there was no representative from any part of the West Coast except- ing Tampa and this representative stated that Tampa did not expect to be on the Dixie Highway. Now there were three propositions of- fered, namely: Jacksonville, Palat- ka, DeLand, Daytona and down the fast Coast to Miami; Jacksonville, Palatka, DeLand, Orlando, Kissim- mee and from thence east to the coast and down to Miami; from Lake City to Gainesville, Ocala, Or- lando, Kissimmee and from thence east to the coast and down to Mi- ami. The counties and towns con- tiguous to the East Coast were well | represented, while none of the West Coast counties and towns, except Tampa and Lakeland, were repre- sented at all. The writer endeav- jm'od to introduce a proposition for a West Coast route through Lake- land but no one would even discuss 1it because of there being no repre- sentative. It was, therefore, as a compromise at the last moment when 'l saw that the proposition to locate the Dixje Highway over a route which would go directly east from Kissimmee would carry that I championed the route running thence to Bartow, Arcadia and from there direct to the East Coast. 1 believe that any other man, in the position in which 1 was placed and under the peculiar circum- stances would have done the same. 1 could not pull direct for Lakeland, but 1 could pull for Polk county and if the Polk county route is finally adopted Lakeland will be within twelve miles of it, while if this com- promise had not been offered and accepted any one at that meeting | knows the Highway would not have come within forty miles of Lake- land. There is nothing to prevent Lake- land getting busy on the building of a highway from here to the Os- ceola county line to be ready to con- nect with the Dixie Highway at that point, and 1 am of the opinion that at that intersection as travelers will come on through Lakeland to Tampa as will 2o the other route to Miami. 1 trust this statement will make the matter clear, but; if not, 1 shall P e firm, and is held up as a pattern to all other salesmen in the company's employ. He .covers Kentucky, Ten- nessee and Florida. He is about 35 years of age. It is the opinion of Dr. Leffers, who is attending him, that he has been doped. P——— ) THOS. S.
