A Letter From Florida
Miami, Fla, March 28, 49,

Miami, Fla, March 2S, 1909
We spent last week in Key West which
is l68 miles below Miami. We went with
some friends on a steamer, had a delight
ful ride on the bay and ocean. The
southern waters are more beautiful than
the Northern. They seem to shade off
into two shades OF blue and then the white
crest on the pillows was certainly a pretty
sight. We did not like Key West as well
as Miami. 1t Is not as large a city, but is
more thickly inhabited. They say there
is q 5000 inhabitants, but it is a very dirty
city, so many Cubans. All the restaurants
are run by Cubans, so their menu was not
so very palatable, but there is one hotel
run by all American called the Jefferson,
that was very nice.
We went out to the arsenal. There
were 400 soldiers training and they have
a nice band which plays all the time.
They are training and have very nice
quarters The officers have nice homes
and they are all along the bay with rows
and rows of c~ocoanut trees full of fruit in
all stages.
Then we took a ride on the trolleys out
to a segar factory. 1t is owned by a New
York man. There we saw 400 Cubans
rolling segars and so girls taking the
stems out of the leaves and as many more
putting the wrappers OIL and boxing them
and a man was up on a box in the mid
dill of the room reading Spanish to them.
OF course, that was clear as mud to us.
We came back OH a nice steamer that
belongs in New York but runs between
Key West and Knights Key during the
tourist season. We came to Knights Key
on her, then took the new extension OF
the railroad and rode over the ocean and
bay 228 miles. The ocean on one side
and the bay oil the other. 1t is built of
arches madeo of concrete and in some places
they told us the water was thirty feet
deep. Where the water is not so deep it
is built of the rock they dig out OF the
ground and sand, they scoop up with
the mud digger. 1t is over the water in
several places and has cost one million
and a half dollars and they have 40 miles
to build yet. 1t goes from one key to
another and when completed they can go
from Boston to Cuba in Pullmans without
changing cars.
They are going to have a large steamer
at Key West and run the Cars on and take
them to Cuba. They think they will
have it completed by September. Mr..
Flager who is building 1t is in his eighties
and he says he hopes to live to see it com
pleted and | hope he will for it is the
most wonderful piece of ra%iiroading that
has ever been built in the world.
Mr.. Pedrick says tell you he was out to
a farm the other day where they had 80
acres in ~pineapples all i'll one field and
the man said one year he realized $4,000
from it, but don't think he would now
there are too many raised. He had 40
acres in beans. Well this will be my last
letter as we start for Jersey the twelfth
of April. Mrs. q. R. PEDRIcK

Powder Trust Suit Testimony In

Taking Of preliminary testimony in the
government suit against the dupont de
Neum ors Powder Company, of New Jer-
sey, and f%orty-two allied concerns and
individuals, for alleged conspiracy in re-
straint of trade, was completed on Tues
day in Chicago before Special Examiner
Willism G. Mahaffy. At the conclusion
of the examination a -postponement was
taken until April 5, at Wilmington, Del,
where the suit was begun in the United
States Circuit Court.
Two witnesses were examined to-day.
d. P. Brewster, an independent powder
manufacturer, formerly in charge of the
Chicago Office of the DUPONT Company,
told Of his relations with the alleged trust
and described its methods. He testified
that when he was employed in the main
offices of the alleged trust at Wilmington,
DEL, a special bureau was maintained to
keep advised regarding the business of
competitors for the setting of special
prices.
Testimony OF A. G. Fey. president of
the Aetna Powder Company, was of docu-
mentary character.
