WASHINGTON. March IT,.
Navy officers who have thrown
down the gage Of uatgi3 10 Comp
troller General Mccarl, won a SUI
preme court victory when the court
refused to pass upon a case which
Commander John F. Cox won in
the lower courts. The case in
volved whether the comptroller
general could withhold the pay of
officers to reimburse the govern
mcnt for what Mr.. McCarl con-
tended we're over-payments to
them in the past. The department
of justice took the position that
such course could be pursued
only when the officers had failed
to account for pubic money en-
trusted to their care, and the lower
courts consistently sided with the
complaining officers and against
Mr.. McCarl.

MIAMI OFFICER
COMES HERE TO
GET PRISONER
NEGRO ARRESTED ON MUIR
DER CHARGE WILL BE TAX
EN- BACK TO MAGIC CITY
THIS EVENING

Deputy Sheriff Fl. L. Sammon,
of Miami, arrived in the city this
morning. He is here to get the
negro Walter Smith, alias James
Bethel, who was arrested by
Sheriff Curry here Monday upon
|telegraphic request from Sheriff
Chase of Dade county, stating
that the man was wanted in Mi
ami on the charge of murder.
Deputy Sammon states that ac-
cording to the description given
him, the man arrested here seems
to be the one charged with the
crime. The negro was quizzed in
the sheriff's office this morning,
and still maintains that he has not
been in Miami in six years, but
he could not refer to any one in
Key West who knows him or can
vouch for his claims, except that
he worked on boat here for two
days prior to his arrest.
The woman, supposed to be his
wife, when she received his tele-
gram in Miami urging her to send
him SIS by wire, seems to have
turned against him and gave the
telegram to the brother of the
negro the man arrested here is
charged with killing. He placed
the telegram in the hands of
Sheriff Chase, and this furnished
the Chew which led to his APP
prehension in Key West.
During recent free-for-all
fight among sosne negroes in Mi
ami, this WaIter Smith, alias
james Bethel, IS claimed to have
stabbed another negro just above
the heart, killing him.
The Dade county officer will
leave with his prisoner on the
evening train for Miami.

PREFERS CHAIR
TO GALLOWS
NEGRO CONVICTED FOR MUIR
DER COMMITTED IN
YEAR 1922

ATLANTA. Ca, March IT,.
They are building gallows to hang
Mack Wooten here next Friday
and he wants to die in the electric
chair.
Wooten, a negro, was convicted
for the murder Of H. H. Williams
In 1892. Death penalties were
meted out then on the gallows and
the new law requiring executions
In the electric chair does not apply
IN Wooten's case.
Not having any condemned
prisoners when the new law was
passed, the Fulton county authori-
ties tore down the gailows In the
tower jail. Wooten, apprehended
In 1925, and sentenced under the
old law of execution, has forced
them to build back the apparatus
for hanging.
II am ready to go, he has told
newspaper men, "but il the worst
comes, had rather die in the eiec-
trie chair than on the gallows"
The crime for which the negro
was sentenced was committed fol
lowing his escape from an Ala
baIna prison. He had completed
i2 1-2 years Of 40-year sentence
for staying another negro. On
Christmas Day, 1922, Wooten
made his escape, severely wound
ing an officer who tried to appre-
hena him. A few days later he
turned up in the servants quarters
of d. H. Williams here for a
'hand out" " Mr. Williams was
Summoned by the frightened ne
wroes. He is said to have tried 10
hre = pistol which missed a car
fridge. allowing Wooten time 10
IRE = fatal shot. This is what the
jury was told after Wooten was
brought back for trial following
three years Of fugitive wandering.

NEW COMMANDMENT OF
SEVENTH NAVAL Dis
TRICT TELLS OF 9TH
Err IMPROVEMENTS

Capt. c. w. meNeely. the new
eommandsnt of the Seventh
Naval District, who stepped into
the position yesterday upon Capt.
Clark D. Stearns' retirement said.
''It was the intention of the
bureau of engineering when left
Washington, D. c., to fit out the
naval station At Key West with
some modern radio equipment 30
as TO improve the radio eom-
munications here"
Captain McNeely said that Key
West win be one of the few sta
tions to be fitted out in the near
future with more modern radio
equipment. His last duty, before
coming to Key West, was in the
bureau of engineering, Washing
ton, developing and supplying
radio to the navy.
The new commandant said "the
condition of the naval station at
Key West under Captain Stearns
and his officers, whom have just
relieved, appears to me to.be very
creditable and IT win be my en-
deavor to keep the station up to
the high standard Of condition In
which | have found It.
Captain McNeely said that he
was not familiar with the inten-
tions Of the other bureaus Of the
navy department for improve
ment at the naval station.
Urge Landing Field
He was stationed at pensacoIa
for only two weeks. he said. and
1t was the general eoncensus Of
opinion Of the officers there that
it would be desirable to have
landing field for aircraft located
at Key West, on account Of the
location Of Key West in regards
to planes flying between the east
coast Of the United States and the
Caribbean area. s'These matters
no doubt have been brought 10 the
attention Of the navy department
and congress. Their accomplish
ment depends on appropriations
made BY congress In furtheranee
Of the general naval policy"
Captain MeNeely said that he
was glad TO have command of the
seventh naval district and TO bc
located IN such pleasant sur
roundings at Key West.
The lest visit that be made 20
Key West was twenty-eight years
ago on the u. 3. s. Yankton dur
ing the Spanish American War.
He had been here previously on
the U. S. 8. Raleigh. He entered
the navy in 1890. and according
to his story has had no thrilling
experiences. He commanded the
u. S. s. Ohio during the World
Wer and after the war the q. s.
s. Delaware.
