King Solomon First
Owner Of Airships,
Aeronautic Expert Says

LONDON.-That King Solomon
| was the earliest authenticated pos
SCISSOR of airships is the contention
of Colonel Lockwood Marsh, secre-
tary of the Royal Aeronautical So
ciety, who quotes a passage from
the ancient Abysinn1an manuscript,
1.-THE Glory of the Kings" trans
lated by Sir E. Wallis Bulge, direc-
tor Of Egyptian antiquities, British
Museum.
From the manuscript Marsh joints
out the statement that Solomon
gave to the Queen of Sheba "a YES
sci wherein one could traverse the
air Tor Winds, which Solomon had
made by the wisdom that God had
given unto him"
Marsh admits that the reference
to a flying machine had apparently
escaped the notice of the trans
lators and reviewers, but that to an
aeronautic enthusiast it was unmis-
taxable.
Further, he says there are other
references to flight in the Abyssin-
ian sacred writings, notably a long
description of the miraculous way
in which the Queen of Sheba's son,
Meneylek, left Solomon, journeying
to his mothers country. "No man
hauled his wagon and whether it
was man or horses, or mules, or
loaded camels, each was raised
above the ground to the height of
a cubit" twenty inches). Also fur.

Florida Senator
To Lose Convicts

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, March 16.
A delegation Of Baker county citizens
headed by two members of the board
Of county commissioners and Sheriff
Jones appeared before Governor
Hardee Friday to oppose the reten-
ton by State Senator J. Fl. Knabb
of Baker county convicts In his
private turpentine camps.
The governor was said by the dele
gates to have assured them that the
county commissioners had the power
to withdraw prisoners from private
camps, and the commissioners said
that they would go home and tmmedi-
ately pass appropriate resolutions
providing that no more convicts be
leased to Mr.. Knabb.
Mr.. Knabb was recently summoned
before Commissioner of Agriculture
McRae and the governor to answer
charges contained in the report of
a prison inspector that conditions
at his private camps were brutal
and inhumane. Mr.. Knabb, who
leases a large number of county con-
victs in the operation of his extern
sive naval stores interests, pledged
the governor and agriculture COM
missioner that he would promptly
take remedial action, according to
an official statement at the time, ana
upon that basis was permitted to
retain the convicts, insofar as the
ctata WAS concerned,

Says Judges Struggle
Between Consciences
And Jobs These Days

FORT DERDALE Fla,
March 17.-Circuit Judge e. G. Da-
Wis. whose contempt ruling against
the West Palm Beach officials was
reversed by the supreme court
Thursday, delivered a farewell adj
dress to members of the local bar at
a dinner here last night, in which he
asserted that there seems to be a
continual struggle by judges at this
time between their conscience and
their jobs, which is manifested and
regrettable. Even in our courts of
last resort prostituting the bench for
personal gain seems ever on the in
crease" He spoke with considerable
warmth regarding the present disre-
spect to constituted authority" and
warned that "the shadow of bolshev-
ism and anarchy is fast spreading
over our country"
Judge Davis thanked local lawyers
for their moral support at ''most try
ing times" and for their harmonious
attitude towards the courts deci-
sions. He announced that this is the
last court he will hold in the Fiji
teenth judicial circuit, as his work in
Broward county marks the end of
his official duties for a time.
Members of the local bar expressed
sorrow at his leaving and praised his
work in this county,
