Two Men Make Attempt
To Rob Custom House
Here Sunday Morning
IMMIGRANTS ARE
TAKEN UP BY
OFFICERS

They desired very much indeed
to be in the good old U. S. A., did
three men away over yonder in
Danzig, that little free state that
developed out of the World War,
so the three of them signed up
with the captain on the cement
boat Flottbek, with cargo of ce-
ment, Miami bound. They sailed
from Danzig on February 8. Ar
irving at Miami, they jumped their
ship. Finding no work in the
Magic City, they walked to Home
stead. No employment for the
trio there. They had heard work
was abundant in Key West, and
they decided to come here. But to
hike it 100 miles on a railroad over
water most of the way was a weary
and risky undertaking. They
pooled their finances and spent
their last cent to buy transporta-
tion to Key West. They hit the
Island City dead broke but they
found work. One got a job as a
dishwasher in local cafe, and the
other two were to go to work on
jobs next morning-but they
didn't.
immigration Inspectors Claude
Albury and A. S. Caviness got
wind of the wanderings of these
aliens, and soon had them in tow.
Accommodations" were secured
for them at the"Roland Curry
Hotel" where they will remain un-
til the immigration officials decide
just what to do with them.
One of the three, Franz Veg
ner, is a German, and the other
two, Arthur Bollkman and George
Rogalesski. are natives of Danzig.

Many Motorists Enjoy Drive
Sunday Out Over New Roadway
LARGE CROWD TAKES
ADVANTAGE OF VIEW
ING STRETCHES OF
LAND ALONG ROUTE.

Hundreds of motorists drove out
Sunday to look over the new
bridge that has just been finished,
spanning the mile-wide expanse of
water between Geiger's Key and
Saddle Bunehes.
A lot of people left their cars at
the approach of the new bridge
and walked over it's entire length
to get a glimpse of the lands on
Saddle Bunches. They found that
a lot Of work has been done on the
highway over there, with ample
rock blasted out to finish the road
bed for quite distance. About
a mile, so far as could be seen, of
the road is graded over there and
material in place sufficient for its
completion over the portion that is
graded.
An inspector has gone over the
bridge and marked every unsound
piece Of timber in the floor, and a
number of these have already been
replaced by workmen, with others
in position to put in this week.
When all are sound pieces, the
floor will then be asphalted and
made ready for use.
IL is a beautiful br rdge, with a
delightful panorama of charming
scenery surrounding itson all sides,
conveying i measureaof CONGESTION
of the superb beauty that will be
brought about in the completion
of the highway to the mainland.
They were fishing all along on
that bridge yesterday, where it
was so shallow that the grunts
could be plainly seen basking in
the bright sunshine-and they
were catching fish. The fellows
had landed couple of barracudas
estimated to have weighed at least
25 pounds each.
When the section of roadway
over Saddle Bunches is completed,
and that viii be done sooner than
people expect, a number of more
miles will be added to the finished
portion of Key Vests great high
way to the mainland, the motorists
of the Island City will extend their
pleasure drives that much further
north, and INK by link the scenic
higway connecting Key West with
the outside world for motor travel
will be completed, as gradually
comes the day that the road will
be thrown open for tourists all
over America to fock to Key
West.

 Misses Scoring Kayo Punch

New York. March ?0.--Johnny Risko Of Cleveland, who pulled his hands out of tho dough pan and pushed them into a pair of boxing gloves not so long ago, today threatens to put them back into dough--of a srccnish hue.
 The former baker who considered himself too fat to fight for years, last night battered the light heavy weight boxing champion, Paul Der lenhach, almost into insCnsihility in ten round scuffle at Madison Square Garden. There was no championship at stake but the con test was important in that Berlen- bach was trying his art In the heavyweight ranks for the first time with the announced intention of reaching for the crown now owned by Jack Dempsey.
 Berlcnbach lasted through the fight with difficulty and seemed on tn cycrge of a knockout in the fret three rounds from the bakers steady hammoring, And at the same time the champions stoutcst attack ap- pearcd to have little effect on Risko, In the afternoon the ClcvClandcr had remarked that he had no fear of Bcrlcnbach.
 The champion hit the canvas in the very first session and repeated the performance in the second but managed 10 hold his feet for the re- maindcr of the bout, d very weary man and although time and again he scored 10 his advcrsary's head there was no damage.
 Iisko had stood up against Gene Tunney, Jack Delaney and Young Stribling without showing any i'll effects, &
 A pile driving left was flung at Berlenbach time and again and several times 1t landed. carrying everything before it. But after the furry of the opening rounds it lost its direction. when Risko tired by his relentless attack and the champion earned an even break for the remainder Of the battle.
