boats and were repulsed each time,
only succeeding in injuring two
men, but secured no booze, and
have given up the game and gone
back to New York, where rondi-
tions are more favorable for bad
men" of their kind.
They may be bad men in New
York, but they found bladder
bad men down here in the Florida
waters, where they are used to
such bold bad men as the noted
Ashley gang" Capt. Berry stated
to a Citizen representative this
morning.
When they run mp against rum
runners of the south, they tackle
men of bravery and nerve and
wonderful courage that would be
valuable to the country if devoted
to a more worthy cause" said
Capt. Berry.
1.-TWO brushes with rum-runners
of the Florida waters were suffi-
cient for the bullies of the
Bowery. and they immediately
called off their dogs and heat il"
the Coast Guard official believes.
After making thorough investi-
cation of the reported battle off

DENVER REALTORS
TAKE ACTION TO
PROTECT FLORIDA
OPPOSE ANTI-FLoRIDA PUB
LIcITY APPEARING IN COL
oRADo NEWSPAPERS, Ac-
CoRDING TO REPORTS
tBy Associated ersssl

ORLANDO, Fla. August IL
Denver Realtors have taken Of
ficial action opposing anti-Florida
publicity appearing in Colorado
newspapers according to word re-
ceived by the Florida Association
of Real Estate Boards. Notice of
the action is contained in letter
from John M. Steele, Secretary of
the Denver Real Estate Exchange
and came about as result of a
communication written by F. b.
Welsh, of st. Petersburg, which
was published in Denver news
paper.
"Mr. Welsh comments on the
tendency of Denver newspapers to
circulate unfavorable propaganda
against the state of Florida, the
letter states. i'Colorado Realtors
would like to go on record as OPP
posed to this sort of thing. Our
Realtors believe that a spirit of
reciprocity should prevail between
these Two states, so popular with
the tourist and the traveller.
"It is true that a great many
Colorado people spend hundreds
of dollars annually in Florida, not
including investments made there
which run up to staggering fig
ure. Our people like to visit
Florida despite our favorable all
year around climate. And on the
other hand, a great many Florida
people spend more or less time
and incidentally great deal of
money in visiting Colorado.
"Our Denver Tourist Bureau
records show l2l Florida cars reg
,istered here laaf year. Florida
people own and occupy mountain
cabins in various parts Of the
state. and hundreds come here
yearly at rented cabins and in ho-
tells.
rlofiua people spend their
money in Colorado in the summer
and we take it back to Florida in
the winter. Here is to the con-
tinued prosperity of both Colo.
rado and Florida"
In complimenting the Denver
Realtors for this expression of con-
fidence and good feeling, Paul o.
Meredith, Executive Secretary OF
the state realty organization, told
Mr.. Steele that the Realtors or
ganiza ions can do more to break
down sectional or interstate pre-
Iudice than almost any one group.
Your attitude in this matter is
worthy of respect, not only of our
people here in Florida, but of your
own citizens there in Colorado,
who must certainly realize that
no two states can really be in COM
petition"
