POISONED PET

Editor, The Citizen:
A dastardly act was committed
in this city yesterday morning
when some audacious person either
entered or threw poison in some
form on my premises directly
where my little pet wirehaired
dog runs on a trolly wire in my
back yard.
l lay this crime directly at the
feet of the, city, officials, which
! rte of these Officials is irresponsible
for such a dastardly@ act makes
no difference now as my little pet
IS gone, but ] feel the city off,
Gals should get some data on the
subject of destroying stray dogs,
and put them away in the humane
way that is done in all civilized
cities, and not resort to this bar
barous custom of poisoning dogs.
l, as well as every one else who
owns a pet dog in this city, would
be willing to pay a yearly license
if this city would and could offer
any protection to ones pets. There
lis no excuse for committing such a
crime and it all comes through abb
sOlute ignorance.
If / could find the guilty per-
son who threw or put the poison
in my yard, l would punish him to
the very limit of the law. l hope
he will suffer in some way as he
has made my pet suffer. Such
cowardly, acts always. meet their
reward sooner or later.

ESTIMATE ABOUT
FIFTY CARS NOT
HAVING LICENSE
RECORDS IN OFFICE OF TAX
COLLECTOR INDICATE THIS
APPROXIMATE NUMBER DE-.
LINouENT

Records in the Office of Tax Col
lector Frank H. Ladd indicate
there are not more than so auto
mobiles and trucks in Key West
without the state vehicle license
for 1884.
This estimate is based on the
sales of last year when 1000 were
purchased. This year there have
been $50 sold. To owners of
automobiles. S25, and to owners
of trucks. 125.
In the opinion of the tax coli
leetor, there has been no increase
in the number Of cars in Monroe
county during the past year. hence
MS estimate of so cars and trucks,
very few of the latter, without the
licenses for the present year.

INDIGNANT VISITOR

Editor, The Citizen:
The pet dogs of two of my good
friends in Key West, are dead.
Murdered by hand unknown,
struck down by the wholesale
poisoner who has been busy for
the past week with this inhuman
occupation.
1t has been said that an official
order has been given to poison
dogs. 1t is difficult for me to
believe that this town is run by,
and the welfare of the human
beings in it, in the hands of such
brutal-minded officials.
The owners of both these dogs
/ knew, are valuable and law
abiding citizens. Both are ready
at every call to do for their COM
munity anything they can, and
have given loyal support to all
civic interests. a'
This. then, is their reward? To
have their pets who frightened
their lives with their companions
ship, and guarded them and their
property, as Loyalty as their "dog-
gle honor" understood it. ruthless
ly murdered in their own back
yard, in one instance?
The younger of these pets, the
last time l saw her, went through
her tricks SO patiently taught her
by her mistress-the last trick be-
ing a prayer-her little paws plac-
ed above her head, her nose low
cred on them, as she crouched

for these scenes and is about 200
feet long, rs feet wide at its mar
rowest part and IT'S feet at its
widest, and enclosed with wire net
ting. with no weapon at all and
played games with the monster.
He went through the same
maneuvers with the intention of
mounting the fish and riding him
while cameramen filmed the Sc
quence. 1t was during this exhi-
bition that the captain narrowly
escaped serious injury, possibly
death.
Astride of the terror it began
a series of gyrations in an effort
to unseat the captain. After a
struggle which lasted more than
an hour he succeeded, but only aft
err large patches of cuticle had
been scraped from the captains
legs by the rough hide of the fish.
Suffering a great deal of pain
the captain relaxed his vigilance
for few seconds and this brief
period almost proved fatal. The
fish swung round at him and
with one of its characteristic side
wise strokes, slashed with its
death-dealing saw.
Instinctively Captain Caswell
saw his danger and tried to avoid
it. He succeeded but only in part.
The saw struck him on the thigh
and two of the teeth were buried
to the bone. He received other
bruises and sustained loss of bits
of skin and flesh from other parts
of his body, but was smiling when
he exhibited his wounds to The
Citizen reporter at his hotel last
night.
Very Enthusiastic
Members of the unit are enthu-
siastic over the success of the
scenes in the making of which
more than 5000 feet of film were
used, and are now preparing for
another battle. This time, with
the largest shark that can be Sc
cured, and the more deadly the
species the better the captain will
be satisfied, he said.
Discussing the entire program
so far, Mr.. Cloakey said he is of
the opinion that they have in the
making one of the greatest and
most stupendous picture ever
filmed. and when completed and
released win be heralded as a pic
ture into the making of which has
gone not one scene that is not alb
solutely authentic.

Captain Wallace Caswel Comes
Out Victorious During Battle
Fought With l2-Foot Sawfish

After battling to the death for
more than 3 hours yesterday, Cap
tain Wallace B. CasweII mortally
wounded his opponent, a 12-fOot
sawfish, while cameramen of the
Metro GOIdwyn Mayer company
took pictures above the surface of
axe water.
Il was a grim and terrible strug-
gle. this human daredevil going
into the element Of his enemy and
armed with a knife of his own
making, nothing else, fighting this

most magnificent spectacles they

and tackle sawfish. which is con-
sidered one of the deadliest mon
sters of the deep, feared by prae-
tically all other inhabitants of the
seas, and fight it to the death,
seems hardly credible.
Oral d. Cloakey, who wrote the
sequences for the picture, says
that never has he witnessed such
supreme disregard of danger in a
human being as that displayed by
Captain Caswell.
Ever The Aggressor

iron and heart that is devoid of
any emotion approaching fear. the
captain was ever the aggressor in
the fight.

Kress To Be Watched
For Possible Benefit
From Shift to Griffs

other Eastern teams in their
park with its short right field

So, even If Pitcher Yves Fer.
rell never nibbles at the terms
offered him by General Mana
ger Billy Evans, it seems as
though the Indians will be able
to struggle along without him,
and give a fairly good account
Of themselves the while.
Shift May Help Red
Washington baseball fans are
watching with keen interest the
possible change for the better
which might result following
the shifting of Red Kress to the
Griffmen from the Chisox. It
can hardly be said that Ralph
benefited greatly by the previ-
Gus switch that saw him go
from the Browns to Chicago.
When Kress first became q
regular for the Browns in 1928,
he commanded the immediate
attention Of the league and
great things were predicted for
him on every hand. He fielded
plenty of ground, had a swell
arm and hit the ball with rare
consistency.
But for some reason or other
both his fielding and hitting
dwindled off until in 1882 he
was sent along to the White
Sox for Bump Hadley and
Bruce Campbell. Kress really
never regained his former eff
f1ciency under Lou Fonseca
and even Jimmy Dykes became
disguised with Red last week
when he fielded a ball off the
bat of Babe Ruth and stood
numb, holding the ball while
Ruth negotiated the bag. That
is the incident which brought
the deal for Bob Boken to a
head.

chance, going back to his hotel
that night with 100000 reis
and exclaiming to Kirkwood
that they were so rich they
didn't have to play any more
exhibition golf.
"Wait a minute" interrupted
KirkwoOd, "let's find out how
much that is in American
money before we quit giving
exhibitions"
It turned out to be slightly
less than $3.50, and the boys
continued their tour of showing
the South Americans how golf
should be played.

HIDH AII
Fans Watch Indians
Who Haze Made Strides
AlUHy From Home
By KIRK MILLER

Folks around washington are
not so selfish in their baseball
allegiance that they aren't get
ting considerable kick out of
the great showing the Cleve-
land Indians are putting up
for Walter Johnson.
Indeed if it should so tranSpire
that the Griffmen can't make
the grade this year-may the
fates forbid-you will find it
will be Walter johnson and the
Indians for whom many here
abouts will be pulling and not
without a great deal of sincerity
at that.
Fact is Johnson has enough
friends throughout baseball to be
a popular pennant contender
when all Of the other favored
sons have, made their bids and
faltered.
Certainly the first four weeks
Of the campaign have estab-
lished this truth-that if the
New York Yankees are to be
stopped, the Indians who trail
them for the league leadership
at the moment, are the team
which must be depended upon
to take some of the wind out Of
the GothamiteS' sails.
Overcome Handicaps
It is a matter for comment
that the Indians have lifted
themselves into second place
despite several conditions which
might have slowed up a less
ambitious ball club. In the first
place three of the Cleveland
pitchers, Harder, Hildebrand
and Pierson have not yet
reached their best form, only
Hudlin really being at his peak.
Then again it must be re-
membered the Indians have had
a veritable youngster on first
base in the person of Hal
Trosky who has taken a terrific
responsibility and carried 1t
well. That is a distinct break
for the Indians as is the come
back of Joe VoSmik. Joe had
an Indifferent season last year
and was one of the big question
marks as the current campaign
got under way.
Too, Bill Knickerbocker has
done complete turn about face
and is playing a great game at
shortstop and hitting like a
fiend.
Climb While Away
The upshot Of the whole
situation concerning the Indians
is that they have climbed to
their present prominence with
all except four of their games
being played on foreign terri
tory. What then may be ex-
pected of them starting today
when they commence to enter
tain the GriffS and later the
