who buys property sight unseen,
from schemers who only look out
for their personal gain. They are
no benefit to the state in any way

Florida will always be a play

DR.. Fogarty says, but the, state is
now reaching out along agricul-

Everglades, this state will take its
place among the finest farming
states Of the entire country.
The Ancient City, st. Angus

bounds, DR.. Fogarty stated to a
Citizen representative. The Davis
Shores there is the biggest PROPOSE
tion under way. A five million
dollar sea wall is being built, and
an equal amount is being spent in
buildings, with two million dollars
being expended in roadways.
The f. E. c. railway, he says.
is spending s95,OOO,000 for inn

DRY FORCES
MAKE READY
FOR HEARING
MAKE CALL FOR UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY TO TEs-
TIFY BEFORE THE SENATE
BOARD

WASHINGTON, ApI. 20, Car
rying forward their militant cam
paign against modification Of the
volstead act, the drys today, like
the vets who preceded them,
called upon United States attor-
ney TO testify at the senate pro-
hibition hearing.
Having got into the record the
opinion of Mrs. Mabel Walker
WilIebrandt, assistant attorney
general, in charge of prohibition
prosecutions, that the dry law can
be enforced as we'll as other laws,
they summoned John d. Meyer,
district attorney at Pittsburgh to
follow her.
In addition, they had a number
Of church witnesses on hand, in
GLIDING Bishop William f.. Me-
Dowell Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and Hugh A. Thrift, chair
man Of the commission on law en-
forcement Of the Congregational
churches of the United States.
Plans of the senate committee
70 complete the hearing Thurs
day or Friday at latest apparently
have been abandoned, with the an
pouncement by Chairman Harreld
that the drys would be given time
IN addition to the "a hours origi-
naIly allotted each side for the
presentation of its case. The
chairman's announcement fol-
lowed the submission of written
protests by dry leaders against the
questioning Of their witnesses by
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
the only wet member of the COM
mittee, who has been most active
n eross-examination throughout
the inquiry. The committee, how
ever. Is endeavoring TO complete
the hearing this week by holding
two sessions daily, as originally
planned.
Mrs. Withdrawals opinion that
the volstead act can be enforced
relatively as we'll as other laws
brought sharp dissent from Senat-
or Reed and she conceded, in reply
% one Of his questions, that ut
win take a longer period of time
70 get the Law operating fully
than has been the case with other
statutes.
Questioned about the man pow
er necessary to bring about en-
forcement, she said she did not
think it would take amy vast
army.
