KEY WEST LINE NOT ABANDONED.
Florida East Coast Manager Says Work on
Extension Is Doing Well.

Contrary TO published statements. the construc-
ton Of the Key West extension OF the Florida East
Coast Railroad has not been abandoned, and there
is intention OF abandoning it, said J. R Par
rott vice-president and general manager Of the
Florida East Coast Line, and for the last twenty
years Mr.. Flaeler's right hand In all his
Florida enterprises. the Holland House last
night. BY the middle of January expect to
have the road completed 10 knights Key. and
boats running from that point 10 Cuba
Since the beginning of this work construction
has covered the entire line between Homestead and
Key West. We have had forces at work at both
ends and in the middle This has been done largely
in order that the work might be finally completed
more quickly.
Eighty cent OF the construction Of the south
ern end OF the line. from Key West north TO Bahia
Honda. distance Of forty-seves miles. has practi-
cally been completed. This would leave between
knights Key and Bahia Honda twelve miles. IN
which is comprehended the three vaducts. There
has been offered far engineering problems in
these three openings that have not already been
overcome in the Long Key opening, which is about
completed and which is longer than any OF the
others
The amount OF money expended IN this under
taking has entirely within the limits OF the
original estimate, and in wise is II beyond the
financial ability OF Mr.. Flager 10 carry It through
TO completion.
''The report that Mr. Oberlin Carter has been en-
ployed take charge of the engineering Of the
extension work is likewise incorrect. The chief
engineer in charge OF the Key West extension is J.

IMMIGRANT SWINDLING CHECKED.
Wells Laws and New Postofice Regulations
Thwart scheming Bankers, 1t Is Said.

Marcus NJ Marks. chairman Of the committee on
the welfare OF immigrants of the National Civic
Federation is OF the opinion that the day of the
bankers who swindled immigrants almost at Will
in the sale OF steamship tickets and the forwarding
of money TO foreign countries is about ended In a
statement Of the work OF the committee that no
issued Yesterday Mr. Marks said that with the
operation of the new postofhce regulation keeping
the money order department OF all the branch
Offices open until S D. m and in charge of clerks
who understood the language OF the people with
whom they do business and the execution of the
new Wells laws the swindling bankers would go
ont of business. In his statement Mr. Marks says
in part
"As the swindling of immigrants by fake bankers
and steamship ticket agents was becoming motor
Ious a speciaI committee appointed last spring
IN, the immigration department Of the National
civic Federation to endeavor 20 relieve the dis
+ressIne situation Hundreds of cases were investi-
Gated and affdavits were secured, which are now
on file disclosing the pitifu condition of those who
had been imposed on. Money given for transporta-
ton was not delivered its destination and steam
shin tickets proved spurious and worthless
He then calls attention to the Wells bills, that
v,era Dassed by the state Legislature and signed
bv Governor Hughes. requiring bankers who
deal in steamship tickets to register a bond of
s15 coo with the Controller of the state and the
other making It a misdemeanor to offer for sale
anv ticket not bearing the signature of an officer
of the steamship company.
