An article appeared in a current
issue of the New York HeraldTri-
bune relative to the ear-splitting
motor horn, written by Mrs. H. T.
Nichols of that city, which is only
another demonstration of the fact
that people even in the larger
cities are becoming tired of the
noisy motor horns which make life
miserable wherever it may be.
An. article appeared in the
Forum column of The Citizen a
short time ago relative to this use
less practice, which is carried on
without the least thought of its
annoying qualities, and the article
printed in the New York periodical
is in hearty accord with the sug-
gestions made in Key West for a
campaign to stem the tide of this
annoying feature in connection
with motor traffic. The article ap-
ptdI lfiS III Vic II~i elItt- iO0tIC Al

"Hooray! At last some one (be-

that scourge of modern city life,

tion of the great harm done by the
nerve-racking horn used by the
majority of motorists. | am as

BITTER FIGHT IN PROSPECT BEFORE
SENATE AGAINST RATIFICATION Of
FRENCH DEBT FUNDING AGREEMENT
COUNTY JUDGE REPORTS CUPID
ASFAILINC TO PERFORM DUTY
Cupid will just simply have to

Cupid will just simply have to
get down to business and make it
snappy in Monroe county, or else
get down and out and let a faster
worker take the place.
Here it is the third day of the
month of marriages, and only one
wedding to report, so far. Judge
Hugh Gum says that for ages
past the month of June has been
notable for its many marriages.
but in recent years there has been
a woeful falling off in the number
of June weddings, especially in the
little Island City.
"There were 215 marriage Ii
censes issued in Miami during the
month of May, just past" Judge
Gum stated, "and we only issued
about 213 in Key West during the
past year.
There seems to have been a tre-
mendous slump in the matrimon-
ial market, and for no outstanding
reason. There has been no in
crease in the price of "sheepskins." :"
Licenses are easily to be obtained
at the same old price. There are
more men and women eligible to
we'd than ever before. Yet mar
mages are few and far between.
Some say politics is the cause.
Others claim that prohibition
caused it all, while a number
claim that the high cost of living
has thrown a damper on the ardor
of lovers and is diminishing the
old-time love at an alarming rate.
There is only one thing to do
about it. The June primary is al
most here's Let's hurry up; put
cut a lot of candidates and elect
new Cupid, one that viii keep
things matrimonial going along as
such important things should do.

Verdict OF Coroner's Jury
Investigating Bodine Case
MAN HELD In COUNTY
JAIL WITHOUT BAIL
ON CHARGE OF KILL
ING R. c. MORINE

A verdict of first degree murder
against E. r. Bodine was return
ed late yesterday afternoon by
the coroner's jury empaneled by
Justice of the Peace Rogelio
Gomez to investigate the killing
of Ralph C. Morine, who was
fatally injured in an alteration
at Cudjoe Key last Saturday morn
ing at 8 o'clock.
The signed statement concern
ing the shooting made and signed
by Morine after he had been in
formed that he would die was
read in court and was sub
stantiated in almost every essen
tial detail by the evidence of the
eye witnesses examined by the
jury.
1t developed at the inquest yes
terday that Morine had been to
the Cudjoe Key pumping station
about three weeks before the date
of the tragedy, and at that time
he had some sort of trouble with
Bodine, the pump man, and was
ordered to leave the place, which
he did.
The evidence yesterday went to
show that last Saturday morning
Morine was on a local train on
his way to Key Largo City At
the Cudjoe station he was seen on
| the train by the pumpman, f. r.
Bodine, who the witnc ~ 6 stated
went Immediately to his home
nearby to get his pistol. Wit
nesses stated that he returned
and shot Morine once while the
man was in a box car. The
wounded man then ran through
the bushes along the railroad and
/ finally hid in an old shack that
had been used as q section house.
Here he was found by Bodine,
who commenced shooting and
sent five more bullets into his
body. 1t was shown that the man
was shot six times instead of five.
as was at first reported. all en-
tcring the body on the left side.
The testimony stated that Morine
| was advised by bystanders to run.
that the man would kin him.
| The trouble that occurred three
weeks before the shooting is the
only circumstance in connection
with the killing that could be con-
sidered rs motive for the crime.
f. r. Bodine will be retained in
jail without privilege of bail pend
ing indictment by the grand jury.

GREAT CARLTON TO BE FEATURE
OF MEMORIAL TO BRYAN HERE
in Shrine After Meeting of Commttee-Site
Selection Left for Future.

The committee did not attempt TO
make a decision on the location OF the
proposed memorial commons nor to
determine definitely the nature of the
structure or structures to be erected.
The tower which will contain the
carlton, however. will rise from a
structure of such type, Mr.. Daniels
said, as affords space for forum and
for paintings and other portrayals of
Mr. Bryan's life and probably for
relics of various sorts associated
with it.
The paintings, Mr.. Daniels said,
would portray various important ac-
complishments and stages of Mr..
Bryan's career, such as his signing of
the peace treaties as Secretary of
State and his service as a member of
the House of Representatives.
The other members of the commit
tee on location and design announced
by MIR. Daniels are Charles a. Doug
las of Washington, Rev Peter J..
O'Callahan of New Jersey, DR.. John
Roach Stratton of New York and
Thomas Reese of Springfield, Mass.

Maximum Unchanged.

The 20 per cent maximum surtax
rate fixed in the House bill remains
unchanged.
The Democrats announced after the
meeting they were content with the
compromise and that they would not
now seek to increase the maximum
surtax above the 20 per cent specified.
A victory was claimed by both Sen
Rtor Smoot and Senator simmons of
North Carolina, ranking Democratic
member of the committee, because Of
the compromise so reached.
Senator Smoot pointed to the fact
that the Democrats had dema nded a
total tax reduction of $500 000, 900 and
that the bill as reported provided for
n total reduction of $3.50 900 900. He
pointed. too to the fact that the Dem
oCrats had urged total reduction of
surtaxes on incomes from $50 900 TO
100000 amounting to $4,000, 600 and
that the compromise agreement pro-
vided only a reduction of S12, ZOO. 900.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
insisted they had been successful in
equalizing to a great degree the re-
duction in the surtaX rates, that they
had succeeded in bringing about the
elimination of the capital stock tax,
which was voted out by the commit
tee. The committee. however, in
creased TO 1914 per cent the tax on cor
porations TO take up the reduction in
revenue, which was brought about by
the elimination of the capital stock
tax. This was opposed by the Demo-
Gratis
SmOOt Estimates Gains.
In estimating the total amount of
tax reduction by the bill as reported,
Senator Smoot fixed the gains over
the House bill as follows: Six million
dollars on trucks, 50 1000, 600 on alco-
hol. He fixed the losses in revenue
as follows: Admissions, $4,000, 600; eX-
cises. S1,500,000; estates, 100000, 900;
surtaxes, $12,700,0 900.
Chairman Greene of the House ways
and means committee, when informed
of the action taken by the Senate
committee. expressed the opinion that
some Of the changes recommended, il
adopted by the Senate, would be re-
sisted by the House. Particularly
would there he opposition to the re-
