GEORGE MOORE,
FAMOUS IRISH
NOVELIST, DIES
ILL ONLY FOR
FEW DAYS; ATTAINED ACE
OF 80 YEARS; HAD BEEN
FAILING FOR LONG TIME

LONDON, Jan. 21.-George
Moore, 80. famous Irish novelist,
died at his home today. He was
seriously ill only a few days but
his health for some time had been
failing due to old age.
Moore was born at Ballyglass,
County Mayo, Ireland, February
"a, 1852, the son Of George Henry
Moore, member of parliament.
Instead of an Oxford or Cam
bridge education, which might have
been his, he went to Paris, where
he frequented the cafes with Manet
and Degas.
At the outset he turned to poetry
and it was not until 1885 that he
published his first novel, "Mum-
mer's Wife," Critics of that time
assaulted the book as full of de-
liberate realism, powerful, but re-
pulsive. His Esther Waters" is
sued in 1894, also met with many
attacks from people who thought it
too bold.
The product of Moore's pen APP
peared with regularity until 1915,
when "The Brook Kerith," a ro-
mantle life of Christ, was the sig
nal FOR another storm Of attack.
Lord Alfred Douglas applied for a
process against the author under
the Blasphemy Laws, but it was
denied.
Since 1918, when "Avowals" ap-
peared, Moore published all his
work privately. Among the books
so issued were "a Story Teller's
Holiday" "Abelard and Heloise,
''In Single Strictness" and "Ulick
and Soracha."
One of the best known of
Moore's works is his Confession OF
ia Young Man." written in 1888, an
autobiography of his earlier years.
In recent year the novelist lived
in Ebury Street. London, near the
American embassy.

LOUISE KNIGHT
GOES TO TRIAL
This MORNING
TWO JURORS THAT DO NOT
BELIEVE ON ENFORCE
MENT OF PROHIBITION LAW
WERE EXCUSED FROM CASE

Louise Knight, charged with I'M
lawful transportation of intoxicat-
ing liquor, was placed on trial this
morning in criminal court. There
are five witnesses for the state.
The defense has no witnesses.
When the jury was selected and
seated in the box. the necessary
quizzing as to qualifications was
started by County Solicitor J. F.
Busto.
One juror, George Mcdonald,
stated that he did not believe in
the enforcement of the prohibition
laws. He said. however, that he
could render fair and impartial
verdict according to the evidence
and instructions from the court.
Following this statement he
wanted to know if the jury would
be permitted to taste the liquid in
the jugs that were in evidence and
on which the charges were found
ed. He was told that he could
smell the contents of the jugs but
could not taste them.
The juror than stated that it
would be impossible to determine
whether or not the jugs contained
liquor and he believed that he
would not make a good juror in
the case. He was excused.
another juror, Charles A. Ingra-
ham, replied to the question as to
the enforcement of the prohibition
law that he did not believe in en-
forcement of the prohibition law
and he too was excused.
After the quizzing was com
pleted by both the county solicitor
and Attorney l.. A. Harris, for the
defense. the following jurors were
found qualified: Oliver b. Rob-
erts. Eugene Buckley, W. r. II.
Boil, Leon c. Roberts. Will +.
Roberts and Urban r. Bethel.
The case went to the jury this
afternoon and after brief consid-

ONLY 300 AUTO
TAGS SOLD UP
TO THIS Time
GEORGE GOMEZ, AGENT, SAYS
THIS is NOT VERY GOOD
SHOWING; NO MoDIFICA-
TON OF LAW EXPECTED

There have been but 800 state
automobile tags sold in Monroe
county since the office was open
ed in December. This, in the
opinion of George Gomez, agent,
is not a very good showing.
Basing his figures on those of
last year. Mr.. Gomez estimates
that there are approximately 1900
vehicles of all kinds in the county.
Just about sone fourth of these
have secured tags, leaving a bal
ance of 900 without the necessary
license.
January 81 is the last day on
which tags can be purchased for
the regular charge, says the agent.
After that date an additional 25
percent of the original cost will
be added.
Asked if there was to be any
modification of the rule, or if the
date on which the % percent
penalty goes into effect will be
set back, MIR. Gomez replied that
he was satisfied that after the last
day of January the penalty ruling
will be effective.

Grounds AT IncineratOr
Plant To Be Cleared OFF
For Municipal Air Port
American Legion Post And
Spanish War Veterans
To Have Charge OF Ac-
tivities

The city council at its
meeting last night agreed to
turn the city's property at
the incinerator plant on the
eastern end of the island
over to the American Legion
and Spanish War Veterans
to be cleared off and placed
in condition for a municipal
airport. This action was
taken following a request
made by Chas. H. Ketchum
and E. Phillips, representa-
tives of the two organ
izations mentioned, both of
whom addressed the meet
ing on the subject.
1t was the understanding that
the legionnaires and veterans will
take care of all expense attached
to the proposition in fixing up the
grounds for the purpose stated.
The idea of the two organ
izations in taking over the grounds
is to promote air activities in Key
West in the way of air circuses
and other meets, with wide pub

planes desiring to make a landing
here viii then be afforded an OPP
portunity to do so.
A letter was read from the Flor
ida League of Municipalities at
Jacksonville expressing delight at
Key West having taken ont mem
bership in the organizations. and
mentioned the fact that they were
glad to learn that Mayor VIM. H.
Malone was planning to attend the
convention Of the association to
be held in Winter Haven January
1927. The league also expressed
hope that members of the council
and other city officials would at
tend.
The council has decided to allow
payment of taxes for 1882 on a
basis of % per cent in warrants
and rs per cent in cash.
A communication was read
from w. M. Albury complaining
of persons dumping trash on the
northeastern side of south shore
which it was claimed has become
a menace to residents of that
vicinity. The complaint was or
dered turned over to the mayor.
