SPONGE FISHING IN FLORIDA.
A Pleasant Vacation Among the Keys
That Can Be Made to Pay For Itself.

"One Of the most enjoyable of my
winter vacations was sponge fishing
among the Florida keys" declared a
young married woman. "We went
down to Key West, and there made
arrangements to take a trip with a
sponger who owned his own boat,
which was also his family home.
When l asked what supplies we must
take along in the way of food. the
question brought a hearty laugh from
both the sponger and his wife, with a
young daughters.
THE wife explained that food was
the one thing they never thought
about down there. All they had to do
was to drop line overheard for their
meat and take walk along some
beach for fruit, while at any habita-
ton vegetables We're always to be had
for the asking.
THE mistake made was not think
ing to ask about the water. Before
we were out a week that very neces-
sary commodity became uncomfOrt-
ably scarce. You see. the sponger
had depended on replenshing our sup
ply from a cistern on a certain key.
When we reached that key It was
found that something or somebody
had not only emptied the cistern, but
destroyed it. That meant going
without water for another six hours,
and was not at all enjoyable for me,
at least.

Mcnamara on Way
to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, April 23.-On separate
trains and hidden away in locked Pull
man compartments under the surveillance
of armed guards, John ]. Mcnamara, sec
retary of the International structural
Iron Workers Association. and his two
alleged confederates, James Mcnamara
and Ortie McMangle, are being hurried
here to answer to the charge of having
dynamited the Los Angeles Times build
ing Oct. l, 1910 and causing the death of
n men.
BY what routes they are being brought
is secret. When they will arrive is
also unknown.
The police here and the detectives who
brought about the arrests are taking no
chances. Elaborate precautions are said
To have been taken to prevent an attempt
at rescue. Chief of police Sebastian said
today he feared publicity regarding the
movements of the prisoners might result
in more dynamiting and the loss of lives
and railroad property.
Secrecy is also regarded as necessary
to avoid legal complications.
At Labor Temple, Los Angeles union
headquarters, there were bitter denuncia- =
tions of the way in which Mcnamara
brothers and McManigle had been arrest
ed but these came only from the rank
and file. Comparisons with the case of
MoXer. Haywood and Pettibonc, the union
men who were spirited away from Colo
rado to answer 10 the charge of having
caused the death of Governor Steunen-
burg in Idaho several years ago, were
frequent. Every man in the Labor 7 em-
pie agreed that the arrest of the iron
workers official and his two alleged ac-
completes had brought TO climax the
long struggle in Los Angeles against
trades unions, and though preparations
We're admittedly being made for the de-
fence of the prisoners it was maintained
that no technicalities would be interposed
to prevent an early trial. 1t is not known
how many indictments the men will have
to face, but they regard as probable that
more arrests are to come.
Up to yesterday only three men had
been mentioned concerned in the blowing
up of the newspaper plant and its opera
tives They were J. =. Bryce, NJ. A
Schmidt and David Caplan. John Nc
Namara is the only one "a the men now
in custody who is said to answer the de-
scription of any of these men. He is said
to resemble Bryce. According tn the Cir
culars sent out Offering a reward of SIS,
| oo@ for the arrest of the dynamiters
| schmidt has a cock-eye and Caplan was
a san Francisco pedlar. Chief of Polict
| Sebastian said today that the states cast
would stand without need of seeking tc

"PLoT OF MONEY INTERESTS"
Statement of President Gompers Of
American Federation, at Washington.

Washington, April %. President
Gompers of the American Federation
said today that the arrest of Interna-
tional Secretary John Mcnamara Of
the Bridge and Structural Iron work
ers of America at indianapolis IaSt
night, was a grossly outrageous knd-
naping and attributed the arrest to en-
emies of organized labor and Il plot
of money interests 10 destroy labor
unions. How long are the American
people going to stand for kidnapping ~
asked Mr.. GOmpers. Mo Namara was
spirited away without giving him the
slightest chance to give prima facia
evidence of his innocence, taken from
his own home and state without aid
OF friends or attorneys.
1T might just as we'll be Mcnamara
as another. The whole affair smacEs
of we'll laid arrangement. The in
terests of corporate wealth are always
trying to crush the organized labor
movement and they used the best way
to strike at the men having the con
fidence of the working people. McEa-
mara has had IA hard fight against
the huge steel bridge building interests
with their many millions, but has done
good work The federation has aided
his union in every way. No union has
been more bitterly attacked"
Mr. Gompers said he could not say
Wat may be done in the defence of
the men arrested at indianapolis or
whether the Federation will give its
aid

tend their system to any portion or

whose independence we have on great
consideration and just principles ac-

world as our settled policy that no fu-
ture European colony or domain shall
with our consent be planted or estab-
lished in any part of the North Amer

The doctrine has never received eX-
press legislative sanction, but rests
upon the declared policies of adminis-
tratien voiced by the Presidents. The
interference of the United States in
Mexico, compelling the withdrawal of
the French in 1866: President Cleve-

connection With the Venezuelan

practical acknowledgment of the

MONROE DOCTRINE.
How It Originated, What 1t Is and Its
Application.

The Monroe doctrine. said to be in
volved in the Mexican situation, takes
it's name from President James Mon
roe. who in his message to Congress
in 1923 first formally stated it, 1t has
been regarded rs the corollary of
Washington's policy of non-entangle-
ment in European affairs. One i'm
piled our keeping out of European af-
fairs; the other Europe keeping out
OF American affairs.
AS originally stated it applied to the
boundary dispute in the Northwest, in
which Russia, Great Britain and the
United States We're interested. Rus
sia had assumed to exclude foreigners
from disputed territory extending to
the fifty-tirst parallel of latitude.
President Monroe said:
The occasion has been judged
proper for asserting principle in
which the rights and interests of the
United States are involved, that the
American continents, by the free and
Independent conditions which they
have assumed and maintained, are
henceforth not to be considered as
subject for future colonization by any
European powers"
This controversy was settled in 1925
by treaty with Russia. This part Of
the doctrine was again formulated by
President John Quincy Adams in 1926
in proposed instructions to the dele
gates from the United States to the
Panama Congress.
The second part of the doctrine,
dealing with non-intervention by Eu-
rope as the first dealt with non-col-
onization by Europe. related to the
proposed action of the Holy Alliance
CRussia, Austria and Prussia), as an
nounced by the congress of Verona
in 1922, directed against the system
of representative government in Eu-
rope and aimed at the reisposition of
the Spanish yoke on the South Amer
lean colonies then in revolt, the in
dependence of which had already
been recognized by the United States.
This action by the European powers
threatened British commercial inter
ests in the Latin-American states and
England proposed to the United States
a joint declaration against the action
of the alliance. Without waiting for
reply from Washington London noti-
fled the French Government of it's OPP
position. President Monroe's declara-
tion followed promptly. He said:
= I'VE owe it, therefore. to candor
and the amicable relations existing
between the United States and these
powers to declare that we should con-
slider any attempt on their part TO ex-
