CHANGE MADE in
ADMINISTRATORS
OF RELIEF UNIT
W. w. DEMERITT HAD SOME
TIME AGO MADE REQUEST
THAT HE BE RELIEVED OF
PRESENT DUTIES

News that the offices of assist
ant administrator of the federal
emergency relief administration
in the different counties of the
state will be welcomed By w. w.
Demeritt, local assistant admins
traitor.
Mr.. Demeritt was in charge Of
CWA activities from the incep-
ton Of the plans in Key West and
received the praise and commen-
dation of the high officials for
the efficiency in which affairs in
Monroe county were handled.
With the change to the FERA
Mr.. Demeritt began to feel that
the duties imposed. in addi-
ton to those as superintendent of
the Seventh Lighthouse District,
were making too many demands
on his time and on several occa-
sions he asked to be relieved of
the responsibilities.
He left Monday night on the
Tender Ivy for an inspection trip
to the west coast of the state and
is not expected to return until
late tonight or possibly tomor-
row.
The action aboIishing the OF.
flee Of assistant administrator in
counties was taken at meeting
of regional administrators and 9TH
er regional officers held in Or
lando Sunday and Monday Of this
week. Hereafter regional direc-
tors of relief. engineering and
auditing viii deal directly with
county heads Of the various de-
partments.

COTTRELL CASE
TO BE HEARD in
CRIMINAL COURT
DEFENDANT ARRAIGNED Be
FORE PEACE JUSTICE YES
TERDAY ON CHARGE OF AT
TEMPTED ROBBERY

James COttrell was arraigned
yesterday afternoon in the court
Of Peace Justice Frank o. Rob
erts to enter a plea to charge Of
attempted robbery with a deadly
weapon.
Cottrell entered a plea Of
guilty to the charge and after
witnesses were examined by JUS
tice Roberts he found the gravity
Of the charge sufficient to war
rant the, prisoner being placed I'M
der a bond Of $1,000 for his APP
pearanee at the next term of
criminal court.
Witnesses testified that Cottrell
went into the Star Cafe Sunday
shortly before midnight and point
ing an automatic gun at employees
demanded that all money in the
place be placed in sack which he
threw down on the counter.
Hesitancy on the part Of one Of
the employees caused Cottrell to
shove the weapon close to the em-
ploye's body and with q succession
Of oaths reiterated his orders to
place the money in the sack.
The man held up described the
hand in which he held the gun
was trembling and his belief was
that If his demands were not COM
piled with he would carry his inn
piled threat to shoot into effect.
About the time he was ready to
place the money in the sack, said
the narrator. Cottrell began to
back away IN real bad man fashion
moving the gun from side to side
until he reached the rear door
when he swiftly disappeared from
view.
He was arrested about ono hour
later on Petronia street By Con-
stable Ray Elwood. The con-
stable encountered him just as
they came face to face at a cor
ner and throwing his arms around
CottreIl, pinioned his arms and
removed the automatic, which was
in pocket cooked and ready to
shoot.
That the weapon had been stol-
en- from the automobile Of Deputy
Sheriff Clements Jaycocks was
not specified In the charges which
without this additional charge are
sufficient to merit 10 years in
prison. it Is sad.
About one year ago, CottrelI
was arrested on charge Of theft
and was sentenced to spend one
year in the county Jail. He was
released several weeks ago.

Bob Wagner Helps Fight The Working Mans Battles

WASHINGTON, April I6. Al
dynamic figure Of a man, chest
like a wrestler's, step quick and
1.-THE, moves on the floor Of the
senate.
He stops to greet a woman
member of the house, visiting in
the senate. Heels come together
correctly, a bow from the waist,
hearty handclasp. and very broad
smile.
It's genial Robert F. Wagner
performing the gallantries Bob"
Wagner. the immigrant boy who
lived in the Yorkville section Of
New York City, sold papers on its
sidewalks and worked as bus boy
at the New York athletic club
where he Is q membersn0w.
1t has been said that Senator
Wagner looks and acts like presi-
Dental timber. E Efficiency and en-
ergy, a powerful physique and
verve in combat more than once
have led to the top rung in poll
itics.
But he is not a presidential pos
sibility. His birth in Germany
precludes that. The senate is his
pinnacle. He quit q SIS, OOO-a-
year judgeship in New York's SUI
preme court to get there, and now
his salary is $4,000, less the pay
cut.
Unemployment Problems
Senator Wagner made his first
dent on the public consciousness
with his maiden speech in the sem
ate in March. 1928, when he be-
gan talking about unemployment
even in those days of relative
prosperity.
He. has been concerned with
that problem ever since. Today on
the walls Of his office are num-
erous originals of cartoons depict
ing his first unsuccessful fight for
a series of bills creating federal
employment service and providing
for accurate statistics on unem-.
ployment.
Wagner Is an important figure
in the Roosevelt new deal. z He.
took a prominent part in enact
ment of the national industrial
recovery act and now has two
controversial bills pending. one
for unemployment insurance and
another for settlement Of labor
disputes.

ARE INTERESTED IS PUB
LisHED HEREWITH


Senators and representatives in
Washington are being besieged BY
veterans and their families rela-
tive to the law restoring to many
Spanish American War veterans
some Of the former pensions.
One of these letters sent to
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher and
q copy to The Citizen thoroughly
explains the. situation and con-
tains information that will Be
beneficial to pensioners and their
families.
The letter is signed by George
E. Brown, Director Veterans
Claim Service and is printed here
with for the information Of
veterans and their families in Key
West:
Congress passed a law on
March %, 1884, which restores to
many veterans Of the SPANISH
American War, enlisting before
August IL, 1893, or actually serv-
ing in the Philippine Instruction
Or Boxer Rebellion, some Of the
pension formerly paid under the
Service Acts.
This makes it necessary to adj
just thousands Of claims, and it is
not possible. Of course, to adjust
them at once.
This office ii doing every
thing in its power to speed this
adjustment. even to the extent Of
restoring immediately. where pos
sible under the law, 4 portion of
tbs pension formerly received,
ihN action 0n Eaes claim.
The new law makes So many
changes that replies, BY this Of
flee. to letters and appeals here
tofore received, must await this
final action in each claim. When
II i found how the law does affect
this claim, the veteran and his
representative viii be advised in
detail without further inquiry
from them.
This final action viii be taken
IN each case without the filing OF
any claim OF inquiry, and all In
tereated can materially assist By
withholding further inquiry for
the next sixty days.
