The U. s. s. Gannet. Lieutenant w. A. Rowe commanding, arrived in port near the hour of o'clock yesterday evening for a short stop before proceeding to the Aleutians where she will join the survey fleet, consisting of the U. s. s. Argonne and Swallow.
 In addition to Lieutenant Rowe the official personnel of the Gannet includes It. J. B. Moss, It. J.

Lieutenant Moffett will return to the States aboard the liner Yukon Friday.
 Aboard the Gannet are two am phibian planes, of which Lieuten- ant Moss is chief pilot, Ensign Moffett, copilot and c. c. Hover ton, pilot. Comprising the remainder of the official personnel are Executive Officer L. L. SWiSher, Chief BoatsWain A. D. Holland and S1lleI CIlSllletl NCSOChIcllOC1S E.

 The most distinctive feature of the Jack TarS is the collection of whiskerS. They range from peach blown struggling for the sunlight thru a coat of tan, to hirsuits capable of evoking the enmlty of a Russian commissar. The dis tinctive style is Galways, with ef- fleets ranging all the way from spade and club to patches which were hit by the blight while the Gannet was winning decision over blizzard at Yakutat.
 The arrival of the Gannet was like the coming of an old friend remembering the happy hours of her last visit and the many en- during friendships developed be- tween the crew and the toWnspeo- pie, especially the young folks.
 One plane was hoiSted to the dock last night to be used in mak- ing upper weather surveys.
 Lieutenant Rowe was not pre- pared to state the duration of the Gannet's visit, altho expressing the wish that it could be several days.

PRESENTMENT OF
GRAND JURY MADE
in CIRCUIT COURT
NAPLES AND ROBERTS MUIR
DER CASES AMONG PRIN-
cIPLE THINGS TAKEN UN-
DER CONSIDERATION

Judge jefferson B. Browne this
morning received the final pre-
sentiment of the grand jury, sitting
for the spring term of circuit
court. The presentment was made
just after court convened.
The jury reported having in
vestigated the cases against Will
liam p. NAPLES and James Rob-
erts, Jr., and as result of their
Investigations found four true
bills for murder in the first de-
gree. Three of these bills are
against Roberts and one against
NAPLES.
A partial investigation, by wit
nesses, mainly Harry Baker, chief
of the fire department, was made
of the schools and other public
buildings and they were found in
as near perfect condition as pub
lie funds will allow.
Investigation of the Monroe
county jail shows the urgent need
of a sink and running water for
the jailor and prisoners. The jury
reported being informed that ma
terial and labor for the installa-
ton will cost nothing, except the
sink. 1t is recommended that
county officials purchase the sink
and have the work done.
Due to the necessity of econ
omizing as set forth in the charge
of Judge Browne to the jury, en-
bodying message from the gov
ernor, the jury declared, it was
impossible to investigate any
other matters at this time. Moth
ing further being presented as
urgent, the jury completed its
duties.
The presentment was signed by
Sidney Thompson, foreman, and
e. G. Gomez, clerk.

JUDGE HUGH QUINN
STRONG ADVOCATE
OF SCRIP ISSUE
BELIEVES 1T WILL EvENTU-
] ALLY PROVE TO BE GREAT
BENEFIT; URGES cooPERA-
TION IN MATTER

Judge Hugh Gum believes that
the issuance of scrip will eventual
ly prove of great benefit to the
people of Key West, and does moi
hesitate to say so.
In discussing the proposition
with The Citizen the judge said
I'm spite of the fact that the is.
sue has not proven as successful
as the promoters Of the idea an.
ticipated, am of the opinion thai
much good has already been &C.
complished.
Il believe that the people viii
gradually become accustomed t
the idea and as they are educat
ed to its real purpose it will prove
of much benefit and be substan,
tial aid to overcoming the exist
ing condition.
No one should become imbuet
with the idea that it is going tt
actually take the place of rea
money, neither should we expect
merchants TO take the scrip in full
payment of every transaction.
"That cannot be expected in
fairness to the merchant nor the
purchas9r. But il we resolve t.
regulate our purchases, so that in
no instance will merchant be ex
peeted to take more than maxi
mum of 20 percent of the pur.
chase in scrip, the beneficial re
suits will be rapidly evident.
do not expect too much of ouI
merchants who are taking thu
scrip. The trial is not one fol
private gain but for the genera
welfare of the public, and W.
have the right to expect ever,
merchant and every man in al
walks of life to assist as far al
they can without embarrassing
their financial status.
"Let every one take some scriT
in payment for services or for pur
chases. Pass it on, seeing that il
every instance the proper STAMP
is attached to the medium, which
is the most material requirement
to its speedy and ultimate redemp
ton.
II believe that I am safe in pre-
dieting that by May 20, the frs
piece of scrip issued will be re
deemed, giving a practical demon
stration that the venture has prov
en- successful"
