CITY FORCES GET
CHRISTMAS MONEY
ALL PRISONERS IN JAIL WILL
BE PARoLED TO-
MORROW

All city employees were made
happy today as a result of the ac-
ton OF the city council last night
in special meeting when it was
ordered that $35 be paid to each
employee as a part payment of
past due salaries. This appropria-
ton was made in order that those
connected with the city's various
departments may obtain some
funds to take care of Christmas
needs.
1t was also ordered that Judge
Harry Dongo show cause why some
disposition had not been made in
the case of warrants issued against
several merchants for non-pay-
ment of occupational licenses. A
special meeting was called for next
week to take this matter up with
the Judge.
An order was issued that all
prisoners in the city jail be paroled
on Christmas Eve, the length of
this privilege to be left in the
hands of Acting Mayor Leo War
rem.

Prices failed, however, to get back
to their July lows.

international producers to reach
any agreement on curtailment for
1888; sugar, because of fears that
production restriction agreements
might be exceeded next year; rub
Der, because of the quick increase
in production which followed an
early rise in prices, and wide
number of other. staples suffered
a fade-out of autumn price gains
in the waning months of the year.
Nevertheless, prices generally
ended the year with smaller net
declines than in either 1880 or

Practically all of the decking of
the docks viii be removed and
new creosoted piling placed. One
carload Of the piling was unloaded

length from 80 to 50 feet.
Before the work is completed it
is expected that more than 200
piling will be driven replacing old
ones that are to be condemned.
The placing of this number of

When the decking is removed all
that which is considered unfit will

Information Sought
On Jail Facilities
For Women Prisoners

Leo NJ. Mack, chief deputy U.
S. marshal in Jacksonville, writes
for information concerning the
facilities for handling women
prisoners at the Monroe county
Jail.
In his letter he asks If there are
matrons employed and if not il
there is any way in which female
prisoners can be accommodated
satisfactorily.
Replying to Marshal Mack
Sheriff Niles advised that no
matrons are employed and the
facilities for the satisfactory care
of female prisoners are not to be
considered.
This condition is instaneed in
the case Of Louise knight. who
was arrested on the Keys last
week by Constable Edney Parker
and found in possession of one
and one-half gallons Of liquor,
commonly called "shine."
She was brought to Key West
and placed in the county jail.
Shortly after her Incarceration
she was stricken i'll and her con-
dition became sufficiently serious
to warrant county authorities re-
leasing her on her own reeog-
nizance.
With proper facilities for hand
ling such cases, this woman, whose
bond was fixed at 5000, would not
have bceen released. II IL shown,
unless she could have posted the
required bond.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Commo-
dity prices marked 1882 by the
sharpest recovery since the trend
turned downward, but under the
crushing weight of huge warehouse
stocks, and impaired world pur-
chasing power, resulting in part
from depreciation of currencies,
prices were unable to hold their
gains.
Warehouse stocks of principal
commodities grew to huge proper

Cleveland economist, points out
that stocks of the nine principal
commodities which constitute a
large bulk in international trade

silk. sugar, tea, tin and wheat
now are roughly twice as large as
they were before the depression
began. The average price he plac-

Dinosaur' S Voice
To Be Heard
On Screen
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1892. King Features
Syndicate Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Nov. 9
Studio sound departments are
used to reproducing thousands OF
queer noises, but the most bizarre
assignment of all has just been
completed by Murray Spivak, of
R-K-O.
This expert has given voices to
eight prehistoric monsters which
fellow technicians had visually re-
produced and animated for the
picture, King Kong"
Several of the country's most
distinguished scientists were
stumped when Mr.. Spivak asked
them what kind of noises you
might expect from a dinosaur, a
triceratop or pterodactyl.
o. A. Peterson, curator of mann
malian paleontology at Carnegie
Museum, argued that modern rep
tiles are so limited in their abil-
tiles for reproducing sounds that
it would be futile to speculate
upon the vocal aptitudes Of their
ancestors.
Refusing to give up, Mr.. Spivak
appealed to j. w. Lytle, verte-
brate paleontologist of the Los
Angeles Museum.
DR.. Lytle was less discouraging.
He said:
THAT is no proof that these
monsters made sounds yet it
would be preSumptuous to say
they didn't.
For the dinosauria, I would
suggest you reproduce various de-
grees of kissing sounds; for the
mammals, such as the arsinothe-
rum, an admiXture of gruntS and
groans would seem in order"
And so Mr.. Spivak set to work.
Eight times, the expert taxed
his ingenuity to the limit and
eight times his efforts met with
final success. Many months of
labor but just an incident in the
great romance of film making.
