the answer of the Attorney General
Of Kansas to the allegation that he
Is said to have declared Florida

Rev. s. e. Lawton. pastor OF the
Mt. Dora Methodist Episcopal
Church, Mt. Dora, Fla, as former
resident of Kansas and at present a
citizen and property owner of this
State, communicated with the Kan
sas official after seeing his alleged
statement quoted in The Florida
Metropolis several weeks ago.
Attorney General Brewster ex-
iplains that, as chairman of the State
charter board which deals with the
operation of the so-called Kansas
"blue-sky" lay, he has come in con-
tact with Florida land owners and
land propositions. Permits are re-
fused when the board decides the
proposition as INSCRIPTIONS or un-
worthy, and number of Florida
companies have been held to be
sach. Mr.. Brewster points out.

Boats Well Built

Capt Grant in his report said that
the boats were built and were turned
over to the government in perfect
condition, but that those in charge
were not as familiar with their
WORKINGS as they should have been
and consequently accidents have
happened which have been blamed
to the boats themselves. The Army
and Navy Regigster, commenting on
Capt. Grants report. says:
Probably no arm of our naval or
military service has been more
stupidly maligned than our subma-
rine boats Everybody will agree
that when the officers of our navy
have had sufficient experience in a
particular branch of their profession
they are not excelled by those of any
navy in the world The Navy De-
pa rtment has, however, practiced
the anomaly of placing junior Off

highly complicated machinery neces-
