Mr.. Bancroft thinks that Key West
Harbor is the best port south of Nor

creasingly important asset to the
city.
Mr.. Bancroft hopes that Key West
will direct its efforts to attracting
men like Malcolm Meacham to Key
West. If a drive is made to get
people to buy land simply as a specu-
lation, hoping to sell it to somebody
else, at a profit, that does not do
the community any good, but the
men who buy land for the purpose of
improving it with the intention of
investing their own money in the city,
are the men who make the community
grow.

UNITED STATES
CLOSES DOOR TO
NOTED COUNTESS
EXCLUDED FROM ENTERING
COUNTRY FOLLOWING DE-
TENTION BY IMMIGRATION
AUTHORITIES
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS.-The
door to the United States is closed
to the Countess of Cathcart because
she eloped several years ago with
the Earl of Craven, leaving hus-
band in England.
The episode, admitted by the
countess, has brought into action
against her the "moral turpitude"
provision of the immigration law and
Secretary Davis, of the labor depart
ment, has ordered her excluded from
this country.
The secretary rendered his deci-
sion last night after considering the
recommendation of the board of
review that heard pleas in her be-
half by her counsel and others in
terested in her case. Mr.. Davis de-
clared exclusion was mandatory un-
der the law and that it left him no
exercise of discretion. One slim
chance to get into this country re-
mains to the Countess Vera, now
held at Ellis Island. Her attorneys
plan to request of New York a writ
of habeas corpus which if issued
would cause review of the law and
might grant the countess permission
to enter under bond.
Exclusion of the countess is not
the first case of the sort, Secretary
Davis declared adding that he was
bound to decide. the question solely
on the evidence submitted.
The National Woman's Party,
which had urged admission of the
visitor, followed announcement of
the decision with protest against
the exclusion as an official "recogr
milton of double moral standard
which women are determined to de-
'stroy in our social system and which
they will certainly not tolerate in
our government"
Appearing at the hearing on Mon
day spokesman for the party con-
tended that the countess should be
permitted to land as was her elope-
ment companion who then was in
this country with his wife. The Earl
of Craven left New York for Can
ada, however, just before a labor de-
partment warrant for his arrest pre-
liminary to exclusion was issued. 1t
awaits him now at New York but it
likely viii remain unserved, for he
plans TO sail for Bermuda this month.
Tire ~CvuuAens~S s~Gsazasa.--xuhn-h as
protested against exclusion of her
former rival, announced in New
York that she was going to Montreal
to mother that wild boy" She call
ed the immigration authorities
"dolts" and the exclusion order
disgusting"
Miss Alice Paul, leader of the
Woman's Party, declared Mr.. Davis
decision is ian amazing instance of
discrimination against women in the
enforcement of our laws" Con-
sidering, she said, 'the fact that we
have admitted to our country and
have even received as hOnored
guests, numbers of men who were
known to have the same records as
Countess of Cathcart this action of
our government against a woman. is
unjustifiable."
The case. she added, spurs Us on,
in an effort to have enacted the
equal rights amended to the con-
stitution."
