Even now the United States rev.

= OUT TOLOOT AN
Key West, Fla, June a.-High sea
piracy just off the peaceful coast of
Key West!
Buccaneering! The type that loots
and robs and burns and kills!
A bloody naval warfare has sprung
up between Greeks and Americans.
An American naval vessel i shasten-
ing here to quell it, and meanwhile,
international complications are
feared!
1t is the war of the spongers.
Onlysa few years ago the sponge
gathering industry in this region was
profitable for the brawny ''conch,"
who piled his trade leisurely by going
out on the gulf mile or so with his
rowboat, his water glass and a rake.
There he scooped up sponges by the
boatload.
Some ten years ago Greek spong-
ers began to pour into Florida They
chose Tarpon Springs as their head
quarters, because Tarpon Springs is
adjacent to the greatest sponge beds
of the country. The colony grew.
Today Tarpon Springs is the great
est sponge market in the world
The Greeks weren't satisfied with
the old method of taking up sponges
with a rake. They introduced a
thing the "conch" has never dreamed
of-sponge gathering by divers.
First the men dove into the sponge
beds, with only their hands and quick
eyes to aid them. Soon came the
modern diving suits.
Then the Greeks invaded the rich
sponge beds near Key West, and the
poor American spongers resorted to
violence.
They burned the Triton, one of the
Greeks boats, as warning.
1t was like Haunting a red flag in
a bulls eyes. The 'conch" declared |

silent until she may be asked officially.
She told of the early morning arrival
at the prison where she was first taken
into the death house. There she was
allowed to kiss her brother. As she was
passing Whitley Lewis's cell he was al.
lowed to kiss her for his mother
Then the others kissed me twice for

After that she went into tho prin-

than what he said

Then he said: I am Innocent. One of
the other men is innocent. The guilty
won't say whether he mentioned vallon's
