District Attorney Refused to
Discuss Merits OF Her
AIDS Criticism.
LOCAL OFFICIALS
DOING THEIR DUTY
Article Appeared Under a
Washington Date Line.
Refers to Alien Enemies. .

In discussing the publication in
the New York Herald OF Tue1iav rel
ative to granting permits to alien
enemies to enter the barred zone,
south of Romano street. United
States District Attorney John l..
Neeley said: at must be thorough
ly understood that this office will at
no time enter into discussion of the
discharge of such duties as may be
imposed upon it by the head of the
department of justice.
Beyond saying that we have
honestly endeavored to carry out
the presidents procIamations, all
acts of congress, and instructions
from The attorney general, to the
best of our ability, do not feel JUS
titled in discussing the matter fur
Their, other than to say that the re-
sponsibilities are, of course. grave,
and so far as | know the local rep
resentatives of every department
have eNerted themselves to the limit
to meet them.
The article which appeared in the
Herald, and ), iiclI vas the subject Of
the district attorneys statement is
as follows.
The case with witch enemy alien
might play politics" in an effort to
accomplish ends harmful to the
United States was demonstrated to-
day in communications sent to Sena-
tor Fletcher, Of Florida, asking that
the regulations forbidding aliens to
reside near navy yards be modified.
Senator Fletcher's letter came
from residents of Pensacola. Fla,
where one of the big government
navy yards is located and where
many ships are now being or soon
will be constructed. The letters ask
that the regulations forbidding aliens
to live within a certain radius of the
navy yards working a hardship and
should be enforced.
AS is always the case when a Unit
ed States senator receives a Conl-
plant from his constituents, Mr.
Fletcher went to the DEPARTMENT OF
the government which had the matter
in mind-the department of Justice
and asked that the situation ba
investigated. The department trans
terTed responsibility Tor the lnauir"
into the situation to the United
States district attorney at Fensa-
cola.
A senator or a representative
might easily be misled by the pleas
of constituency it is pointed cuff
and add an official weight to a re-
quest for attention to such matters
that might serve to brine about a
situation endangering the best inter
est of the government. There is no
indication that rules regarding resi-
dents near navy yard win in any
way be tempered by such appeals.
but the fact that some members Of
congress are being appealed to in an
effort to have the rules modified has
led to q ceraful observation Of con-
ditions in some parts Of the country.

CITIZENS COMPLAIN
OVERLOOKED STREET

Citizens on East jackson street,
from Ninth to Twelfth avenues have
lodged a strong complaint against
the conditions of that thoroughfare,
Immediately following any rainfall
of consequence. They claim that it
is almost impossible to get in and out
of their homes when the water backs
up, without the undesired necessity
of wading in water quite above the
shoe tops.
The commissioners had the ques-
ton of improving this street up for
discussion at the last regular meet
ing, and it was understood will CO.
operate with the electric company
shortly in an endeavor to improve
the after-rainfall conditions.

HOLLANDS SENTENCE
REDUCED TO 9 DAYS

An order was issued yesterday
morning by Judge William B. Shep-
pard of the federal court reducing the
sentence of Jesse Holland from six
months to nine days. Holland was
convicted at the adjourned term of
the court, just closed, of selling
liquor to members of the military
forces of the United States while in
uniform. He was sentenced on June
rs to serve sixty days in the Escam-
bia county Jail, but this has been
changed by the present order to nine
days.
The order stated in explanation
that it had been shown to the court
that the health of the prisoner would
not permf+ his incarceration for the
longer period, and that the ends of
justice would be as we'll served by the
short imprisonment.
