GOVERNOR GOT $43,000

Former Florida Executive to Be Sued by the Commonwealth. Tallahassee, Fla., April 30.—The special legislative committee appointed to investigate the books of the trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund reported to the senate that over 143,000 had been paid in fees and salary to former Governor Jennings. This covers a period of only four years. Senators denounced the action of the trustees and a resolution calling for a suit to recover the money was passed.
