ADMIRAL w. A. MOFFETT

In the death of Rear Admiral William
Adger Moffett. chief of the Naval Bureau
of Aeronautics, who persisted in the dis
aster to the dirigible Akron, the nation
lost one of its most distinguished and gal
liant naval officers.
He was born in Charleston, S. G.,
October 81, 1869, and was graduated from
the Naval Academy in 1890. He served
with Dewey at the battle of Manila in
1898, and was awarded the nations high
est military distinction, the Congressional
Medal of Honor, for eminent and con-
spicuous conduct in battle in the capture
of Vera Cruz, in 1914 He also received
the Distinguished Service Medal "for ex-
ceptionally meritorious service in a posi-
ton of great responsibility in the World
War"
During his long and notable naval
career he held many commands of high
Importance, and was known as forceful
and brilliant officer. He would have been
retired for age in October Of this year if
he had lived.
Admiral Moffett was strong adj
vocate Of the dirigible as a military
weapon, and his enthusiasm for this doubt
full instrument of warfare cost him his lifes
While many do not agree with his views
on this particular branch of aeronautics,
all must admire the courage he displayed
in backing his opinions by risking and los
ing his life in his zeal to vindicate them.

ELECTRIC INDUSTRY AND RECOVERY

1t is an interesting fact that, in the
ldepressions Of the past, the United States
has been led out of them by unusual ex-
pansion of some major industry This
was true, for example, in the case of the
automobile industry in the depression that
followed the war. Car sales zoomed-and
related industries, which in the long run
provided more employment than did the
automobile industry itself, grew up.
The electric industry is in a more or
less similar position today, even though it
has expanded amazingly in the past. The
we'll lighted home is still the exception and
not the rule. Industry is, to an increasing
extent, turning to electric power and away
from other forms of mechanical power.
Better and cheaper electric labor-saving
devices are appearing on the market
and, aside from such commonplace APP
pliances as electric percolators, coasters
and vacuum cleaners, the average home
has none of them. It is not inconceivable
that ten years from now the domestic mar
ket for electricity will be ten times as great
as at present
AS depression lifts, more and more
money goes into such articles as these
labor-saving devices Every time one is
sold, whether by the utility or dealer, the
market for power is broadened. and a
potential demand for repairs, parts and
service is created Money is put into cir
culation men go to work. In conquering
depression the electric industry will be i'm

NAMES ALFONSO
AS SMUCCLER OF
VARIOUS ALIENS
MEN FLAGGED TRAIN OUT OF
KEY WEST AND RODE ON
TO HOMESTEAD WHERE Of
FIcERs ARRESTED THEM
Homestead Leader)

A bulletin received by the
Homestead police department yes
terday morning from the Miami
detective bureau revealed the fact
that Armando Alfonso, former
Homestead resident, already fac
ing alien smuggling charges in
Cuba, is sought as the smnggler
responsible for landing at Long
Key the seven aliens captured on
the northbound +. +. G. train here
Monday night by a LEGAL immigra-
ton officer and Chief of Police
Fl. Schlegel.
The police bulletin advises all
police departments to warn mer-
chants and others to be on the
watch for $3.50 in travellers cheeks
in $40 denominations taken from
an alien by Armando Alfonso. one
of the smuggleFs" of group of
aliens captured on April 10. The
checks are in the name of lager
Ahnaad Musa or Armad Musa, ac-
cording to the bulletin, and $3.50
of them are unsigned and $40
signed; serial numbers unknown.
lager Ahmad Musa was one OF
four Arabs in the party taken off
the train here Monday night. The
three other aliens were Poles, two
of them women. lit is believed
that they were members of the
same party that Alfonso was at
tempting to smuggle to the Florida
Keys when overtaken by Cuban
! government cutter late in Feb
ruary, and captured as he was
/. transferring his load of ID aliens
from Cuban sloop TO an Amer
| lean motorboat between Matanzas
and the keys. Alfonso was taken
back to Cuba and is thought to
| have been free under bond, pend
ling trial, when he made his latest
smuggling attempt.
Following their arrest on the
train Monday night, the aliens
! told a story of hunger, thirst and
exposure to mosquitoes while they
waited hidden IN the bushes at the
north end of Long Key for auto
mobile transportation which the
unscrupulous smugglers had prom
ised they would bring from Miami
Sunday night. Driven to despera
ton Monday night, they tagged
the train from Key West and
climbed aboard. At Tavernier the
conductor or the limited notified
Constable L. b. Parker that he
thought he had some aliens aboard
and the, Monroe county constable
telephoned the Hmestead police
station. TO have the immigration
men meet the train and get the
five aliens. Border Patrolman w.
G. Monroe and Chief of Police
Schlegel found seven in the party
and brought them to the Home
stead Jail. Later they were TAX
en- to Miami federal authorities
and held for deportation.
The aliens said they left Ha-
yana for Mantanzas April 3. On
Thursday of last week they were
transferred from the Cuban
schooner that brought them from
ManEanzas 60 an American motor
boat that landed them at Long
Key Saturday. Six Of them paid
$500 each and one paid 800 for
their passage.
Alfonso was still at large last
night. Whether he returned 70
Cuba Immediately after landing
the aliens Is q matter Of conjce-
.ture. His wife still resides here.
