DEPUTY ANDREE HESSE AND
J. BEINEIx SETTLE DIFFER
ENCE GROWING OUT OF
BAYONNE BANK SCANDAL

(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Jan. 25.-Four pistol
shots were exchanged without eff
feet today in duel between
Deputy Andre Hesse and John
Beineix, Paris lawyer, who met to
settle differences growing out of
charges aired in connection with
the monumental Bayonne Bank
scandal.
Hesse. lawyer for the late Serge
Stavisky, founder of the failed
Bayonne pawnshOp, regarded as
insult a newspaper article written
by Beinelx.
They left the duelling ground
unreconciled. The men fought in
a secluded spot which formed old
Notifications of the city.
The morning was freezing and
cloudy, making it necessary for
them to wait for sufficient light.
Although honor had been salts
fled according to the ancient
tradition, the men refused to be
recOnciled and left the duelling
ground without shaking hands.

CIAL

An excursion from Miami ap-
pears in the offing. This is the
information received by The Citi-

in the hands of Lynn j. Irwin. dis
trict passenger agent, Florida East

THAT NAVY BILL WILL BE
TAKEN TOMORROW OR
NEXT WEEK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20
Their confidence mistaken by the
vented scorn of Senator Glass OF
Virginia, administration managers
of the measure dwarfing gold in
the dollar looked for an opening
today to shove it back to the house
for agreement on senatorial
amendments.
Some held slender hopes that
the monetary bill could be approx
ed during the day or at least by
tomorrow.
Before a final vote, however,
senators faced decisions on admin
istration-opposed amendments to
enhance silver values to entrust
sterilization fund operation to a
board and possibly others.
Making a bill of temporary
duration has been accepted by
President Roosevelt.
Another cheering message for
admirals was sent today by the
house rules committee which vot-
ed legislative priority for the Vim
son treaty navy bill with the in
tention that it be brought up on
the floor tomorrow or next Tues
day.
The president found time today

Austin Williamson, special
representative of the passen-
ger department of the P. and
o. S. S. company, told The
Citizen yesterday on his ar
rival from Havana there
were exciting times in Ha-
yana Tuesday, both after
noon and night.
As soon as the news of the rec:
ignition of Cuba by the United
States was announced from the
palace, excitement was evident in
all parts of the city and before
midnight the celebration had
reached a stage, that, said Mr..
Williamson, had probably never
been equalled in Havana since
SPANS evacuation.
Machine guns ratified, ar
tillery roared and doomed and
thousands of residents were
firing small arms in all parts
of the city, singing and dane
ing and in every way imagin-
able showing their happiness.
On the arrival of the Florida
at Havana, there was great
throng at the dock to meet the
large number of refugees from
Key West and other cities, as an
nounced in The Citizen of that
date, who were returning to their
native land.
Hundreds of shots were fired
into the aid and in their exuber-
ance some of the bullets went in
places where it was not intended
they should. Captain yelling
ton NJ. White, of the Florida,
found a bullet impedded in the
deck of the ship after the excite
ment had subsidized.

Different Applications Is
Cleared Up

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.
"A fee of one dollar per
automobile and % cents ad-
ditional for each passenger
will have to be paid when
the overseas bridges are fin
ally constructed, it was said
today by William r. Porter.
Porter said: 81 have
every reason to believe, that
now since the confusing sit
uation of two pending ap-
plications for the same pro-
ject is cleared with the re-
lection of the Rosenthal ap-
plication, the Public Works
Administration will act
favorably upon our applica-
ton"
Porter said he anticipated
the bridges, when completed
would net about $550,000
annually, while only $780,
600 annually viii be re-
quired to pay the interest
and amortization.
Asked how much toll
would have to be paid in or
der to arrive at the $3.50, 1000
figure, Porter said: Zone
dollar for each car and %
cents for each passenger"
Hence each automobile. if
only driven by one individual
without other passengers
would have to pay $1.25 for
the privilege of crossing.
Porter said he did not
think this was too much
money to ask.
There is no telling when
the project will be APP
proved" Porter said when
asked-"but l have been
given great assurance that
it will be favorably acted up
on very shortly. The whole
matter has been a nerve
wrecking experience. what
with a lot of false rumors
and such, but am confident
now that we will not en-
counter any more diff

Other Drought-Stricken Farmers
Gather Thistles and Plant
Late Turnips.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. August 25.-Faced
by probably the most serious shortage
in live stock feed in the regions
history, farmers Of the Midwest are
turning to ingenious ways Of con-
serving what feed they have.
Down in the Ozark Hills Of
Missouri and Arkansas, where oak
trees abound, many farmers are
gathering leaves and curing them
for Winter use. Much in the manner
Of cotton pickers on Southern plan
tations, workers gather leaves. stuff
them in bags and take them to
haymows, where they are paid by
weight.
Farmers who experimental with
leaves last year found that when
gathered green and properly cured
they make palatable feed.
Out in Kansas, where the shortage
Is most acute, stockmen are gathering
thistles and curing them for roughage.
Others are turning to the lowly
turnip to provide emergency feed.
Seedmen said more turnip seed Is
being sold to Missouri farmers than
ever before. There is time to pro-
duce this root crop before frost.
