HOUSE MEMBERS ASSEM-
BILE AT EARLIER HOUR
TO EXPEDITE ACTION
ON ISSUE
By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. June 2.-The
house was called upon to meet an
hour earlier than usual today TO
expedite action on the French debt
settlement. About three hours re-
mained for debate, with leaders
prepared to bring il to a vote be-
fore adjournment tonight, so it
may be hurried to the senate,
where a vigorous fight against
ratification is in prospect.
Ratification of the $6,s47, ,674,-
600 funding agreement by the
house was generally conceded.
Strongly backed by the admins
tration forces, the pact provides
for payment of the total amount,
which includes interest in SO an
nual instalments graduating up
ward from two initial payments Of
100000 900.
Representatives Collier, of Mis-
sissippi, and Rainey, of Illinois,
democratic members of the ways
and means committee took the
lead in opposing ratification by
the house, contending that the
terms did not represent Frances
capacity to pay, and the pact, as
the former phrased it, was a "dis-
graceful attempt to settle an hon
est debt at fifty cents on the dol
lar"
Chairman Green, Of the ways
and means committee, insisted that
the agreement was a favorablesone
to the United States as was pos
sible at this time, and argued that
the French people were taxed now
to the limit. He was supported
by Representative Burton, -repub-
lican, Ohio, a member of the debt
committee. and Representative
Mills, republican. New York.

ana droVe me around the city ana
out on the marvellous new highway
that is to connect the island city
with the mainland, 1t is a gigan-
tic piece of work, requiring cour-
age and money, but it is being
built, and soon the tourist can
cross the Florida Keys in his car
to the quaint but progressive city
of Key West.
The next day | call on William
Curry's Sons Company, and had
an enjoyable interview with Mr..
Curry. The store is large, and is
situated near the docks and the
railway station. "You can, tell the
folks up north" Mr.. Curry said
with a smile that Key West has
the longest street in the world. 1t
runs from the Atlantic Ocean to
the Gulf of Mexico"
Well, / called on all the mer-
chants, found them optimistic and
doing a normal business. Then |
wandered all over town.
Anglers Paradise
Key West is an anglers para
disc. Fishing is one of its big in
dustries. There are fish to be
caught in every direction-from
the bridges, docks and boats.
Sponges are also taken from its
waters, and thousands are cleaned
and shipped out yearly.
In addition there is the cigar
industry with several large fac
tories turning out Key West
cigars.
1t is resort city yet in the
making. From Key West the
steamers ply to Havana, and in
Key West the American and the
Cuban tourists visit as they come
and go.
| say it is resort in the max
ing. because its possibilitiea in
that line have only begun to be
realized. 1t has had no building
boom, although it shared to some
extent in the alan5 boora. The
building is largely 80 Come, and
it undoubtedly will come. The
climate, the quaint homelike city,
the fishing and other sports are
sure to draw the tourist in in
creasing numbers as the seasons
come and go.
Another Industry
But | forget to tell you of an
other industry-the turtle indus
try. In large pens on the wharf
are, hundreds of big sea turtles.
Some of the famous logger heads
weigh as much as 500 pounds.
Many of these turtles are killed
for local consumption. Others are
taken to the local canning factory
and transformed into delicious
turtle soup. Still others are ship
ped alive in cars to New York and
other large northern cities. It's
almost worth the trip just to see
the turtles.
Some day I'm going back to Key
West to spend several weeks; to
enjoy the Key West climate and
the hospitality of its people, and
to try my luck with cane pole. rod
and reel. Others arc going to go
there too-more each year. and
when the new highway is COM
pleted Key West will come into
its own. You simply haven't seen
Florida until you have seen Key
West and rode on the railroad that
goes to sea.

A. H. McINNIS' RECORD
(Communicated)


Much has been said with refer
ence to the candidacy of A. H.
McInnis, about his effort to save
for the widow and children of the
late Sheriff what Mr.. Curry work
ed so hard to obtain. 1t is quite
tue that Sheriff Curry only
served eighteen months of his two
years, and the writer thinks that
his family should have the benefit
of the office, and knows that Mr..
McInnis would see that they got
it.
But little has been said with
reference to the qualifications of
Mr.. McInnis to hold this important
office. The office Of Sheriff is
perhaps the most important office
in the County. 1t carries with it
grave responsibilities, and the
man placed in this position should
have tact and judgment, should
be diplomat, should have a level
head, and at all times be ready to
meet any emergency that might
arise.
My view is, that Mr.. McInnis
has all these qualifications, and
would be the right man in the
right place at this time.
He served the people as Sheriff
for four years, and at time
when it required a man of more
than ordinary ability. Shortly af-
ter he took oath of office the
world war came on, and this be-
ing a seaport city and an impor-
tant point for the operations of
our Government in equipping men
and boats for the war, it will be
remembered that this city was
beehive of activity. Every
branch of the Government was
represented here, the Army, Navy,
Marines, Aviation, Artillery. Coast
Guard, Secret Service and all
other branches were represented
and had thousands of men going
and coming at all times. Togeth-
er with this we had toughs TO deal
with, crimes of all kind were being
pulled off and thousands of things
coming up daily that required the
time and efforts of a Sheriff.
There were numerous investigat-
ing committees in and out from
Washington looking after the in
terest of the enlisted men i'm
which the Sheriff and other Off
cials were called in, and it cannot
be denied that Mr.. McTnnis as our
Sheriff handled the very difficult
situation, came through with fly
ing colors. and was commended by
the Government.
In addition to his duties as
Sheriff Mr.. McInniS was called
upon By the Government, and
served ms Chairman of the Draft
Board, this required much labor.
many nights of hard work and
tact and skill to handle.
Since the war Mr.. McInnis has
served ms Chief Deputy to the late
Roland Curry. Sheriff. and it is
we'll known that he has acquitted
himself well in this capacity. He
was an advisor of Mr.. Curry. and
attended to all the detail work of
the office When all is said and
done, Mr.. MeInnis is we'll quail
fled to fill this important office
and in MY opinion it would be n
serious mistake 70 make a change
at this time.

am opposed to seating William
S. Ware in the senate because he
has admitted that he spent 100000
in the Pennsylvania primaries to win
his nomination.
IN opposed to seating Frank L.

The Senate decided in the New

There is no question whatever that
the senate has the right Of expulsion
in the cases Of Smith and Ware.
If we permit them to be seated
and to allow this sort Of thing to
20 on, it means that we are hanging
a sign on the front door of the Sen

SEATS CAN BE HAD HERE BY
THE \EXPEND1TURE OF A MIL

It means the domination Of the

1t means that no poor man can

Resources Of Central Alaska
to Be Presented to Man

Anchorage, Alaska, Dec. 17-lR-
Following the example Of privately
owned pioneer railway systems in ex-
plotting the resources of the terri
tory contiguous to their lines, Uncle
Sam, owner Of the Alaskan railroad,
will tell the people Of the states the
advantages Of the railroad belt in
order to attract capital.
A new depa rtment has been created
by N. W. Smith. general manager Of
the railroad, to bring the resources of
central Alaska right under the nose
Of the man with surplus to invest.
To Gather Economic Data
Hitherto the resources along the
railroad have been spoken Of its
gcneralities, such as "great store.
houses of wealth." mountains of

precious metals and commercial
minerals"
Hereafter the Alaska Railroads in

and reported by engineers of the

United States Geological Survey in
vestigation has revealed that there i.
approximately $35O,OOO,OOO worth o.
gold in workable places in areas Gov
cred by that department. How much
more there is can only be conjectured
as there are many areas, practically
unprospccted, which contain as much
as $500 square miles. This area con
tains many properties which hav,
not been developed by machine
methods.

"LET THEM my"
SAYS REED
BY Senator David 4. Reed Of
PENNSYLVANIA


Evidence has yet To be introduced
which Justify tho United States
senate in multiplying the will Of the
people Of Pennsylvania and Illinois
BY refusing to seat William s. Ware
and Frank l.. Smith.
The primaries are the concern Of
the people Of the individual states.
In these cases with which we have to
deal, all facts concerning the pri-
mary election were known to the
voters when they went to the polls
in November and, with eyes opened
and minds informed. elected these
men against whom imputations have
been brought.
To deny these men the seats given
them by the electorate would be, in
my opinion, to violate the sovereign
ty Of two great states.
In the case OF Ware. there was a
man confronted with an unwisc pri-
mary law which demanded great cx-
pcnditures if he were to win the
omination from state -Sf 5000 900
inhabitants
| In the case Of Smith, the situation
before him in his primary campaign
was the same
