REGISTRATIONS
FOR PRIMARY TO
END TOMORROW
POLL TAX PAYMENTS CAN
BE MADE UNTIL MAY 16;
MANY PROSPECTIVE VoT-
ERS HAVE NOT PAID YET

Registrations will cease tomor-
row evening, according to the
laws governing this phase of pre-
election requirements, John Eng
land, supervisor of registration
said today.
For the past week the supervis-
or's office has been the scene of
great actin ity. and so busy has be
been kept that it has been impos-
sible for him to get an idea of
the number OF registrants to
date.
To say anything whatever, re-
lat:ve to the number of names on
the books, would only be guess
work, he said, and he is of the
opinion it will be Saturday morn
ing before any accurate figures
can be given out.
In the tax collectors office it
was learned from Collector Frank
II. Ladd that while a goodly num-
Der have paid the 1885 poll tax,
there are approximately 1000
prospective voters who have yet
to pay the 1884 tax.
However, he points out, as the
last day for paying poll taxes is
not until May 16. there is ample
time in which voters can have
these matters Strengthened out.
Why it is so. the collector does
not attempt to explain, but al
ways just before the books are to
close, ne said, there is a grand
rush to pay poll taxes, and he does
not think this year will be differ
ent from former years.

BRITAIN May BACK
TURKISH PLEA FOR.
DARDANELLES GUNS
BRITISH FOREIGN SECRE-
TARY TO SEIZE OPPORTUN-
ITY ON OCCASION TO COME
BACK AT HITLER'S METHOD
By ROGER D. GREENE
tlSy \ Associated I'reAsb


LONDON, April 29.-Strong
British support of Turkeys re-
quest for permission to fortify
the Dardanelles, the 17-mile strait
linking the Aegean with the Sea
of Marmora, when the League of
Nations acts on the case in MAY,
is forecast here.
Suave Anthony Eden, British
foreign secretary, it is predicted.
will seize on the occasion to adj
minister a velvet-gloved slap at
Hitler's world-defying method Of
treaty-scrapping in contrast to
the reasonable procedure adopted
by Turkeys dictator, President
Kamal Ataturk.
Where the nazi leader deliber-
ately challenged the LocarnO sig
natories-Great Britain, France,
Belgium and Italy-by marching
his troops into the demiIitarized
Rhineland, the Turkish dictator
formally appealed to the League
and to the signatory powers o.
the Treaty OF Lausanne, under
which the Dardanelles was de-
militarized in 1928.
British Applaud Ataturk
In his role as Europe's cham
pion of diplomatic decorum, Eden
may be expected to applaud Tur-
keys restraint in not resorting to
the Hitlerian fait accompli
method-i.e. hitting first and
asking question afterward.
Ataturk's moderation made a
deep impression in British govern
ment circles. particularly since it
followed a series OF treaty rup-
lures. such as Germany's viola
ton OF the Treaty OF Versailles in
re Introducing conscription, March
16. 1885; Germany's violation OF
Locarno by remilitarizing the
Rhineland March 7, 1886, aid
Austria's recent reputation OF
the treaty of st. German by or
dering CONSUMPTION.
Reward For Law Abiding
To-day, Hungary and Bulgaria,
alone o. the countries "demili-
tarized" after the World war,
stand bound by treaty restric-
tions.
But Turkey has at least sought
permission from the powers con-
cerned-Britain France. Italy,
Bulgaria. Russia, Rumania,
Greece. Yugoslavia and Japan
and informed quarters, in Lon
don, express little doubt that her
request will be granted Il only as
a reward for law-respecting pro-
cedure.

PETITIONS OUT
TO RECONSTRUCT
RAILROAD Line
TO BE FORWARDED TO INTER-
STATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION ASKING THAT BODY
To INTERVENE IN MATTER

A number of petitions are be
ing circulated today asking sign
ers to a petition TO be forwarded
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in Washington requesting
that body to issue instructions to
have the Florida East Coast Rail
road over the Keys reconstruct
ca.
The petitions, it WAS said. were
formulated by Clifton Russell.
postmaster at IslamOrada, and he
has secured a number of friends
in Key West to circulate the petit
tions, one of which, seen by The
Citizen, has a great many signers.
Those who are in { position to
know, are convinced that the
signing of this petition b.. a
large number of people will have
an effect on the bridges PROPOSE
ton which will be Gireful and dis
astrous.
A large group of citizens who
were spoken to on the matter, de-
plored the idea and stated in no
uncertain terms that in the event
these petitions are sent to the In
terstate Commerce Commission
they viii indicate that the citi-
zens of Key West are a devided
people and the possibility of over
sea bridges win be a question Of
the future.
They feel that the matter viii
be taken up by the |. c. c. with
hearings, and then other hearings,
which will postpone action, which
now seems imminent, on the al
location of funds for the bridges
and the possibility that in the end
! it will transpire that this move
ment for something which has been
declared so distantly remote as to
be almost chimerical, may delay
action on the bridge proposition
until the funds are allOcated TO
other projects.
Practically every person ap-
preached by The Citizen relative
to the petitions being circulated,
said, in effect, no one would more
gladly welcome the news that the
railroad is to be 1ebuilt than l."
but when it has been shown that
the decision not to reconstruct the
road is practically irrevocable,
and even the president has shown
his interest in the proposde bridges
and little or no interest IN rail
road reconstruction, it is only red
sonable to conclude that circula-
ton of petitions requesting recon
struction of the road win result
in untold delay on the bridge
proposition, and possibly disas-
trous consequences in the end.

GIVES REVIEW
OF ENCOUNTERS
With INDIANS
MAJOR METCALF OF u. S. MA
RINE CORPS GIVES DETAIL
ED ACCOUNT OF FIGHTING
SEMINOLE TRIBES
Especial to The Citizen


WASHINGTON, April 29.-It
is not against the U. s. Marines
to say that at least one OF the no.
table military campaigns in which
they were engaged was a failure.
At any rate, the government
failed in its objective o. conquer
ing, capturing. and moving the
Seminole Indians out o. Florida.
One of the best detailed ac-
counts OF the fighting against
Seminole Indians in Florida and
Greek Indians in Georgia has
been written by Major C. II. Met
calf. Of the U. S. Marine Corps.
Major Metcalf has delved into
authentic records for the back
ground supporting a recent maya
zine article.
Bitter Fighting
The long years o. bitter fight
ing and arduous campaigning by
the Marines, ordered during that
campaign to march with the reg
ular army in Florida FOR the first
time, proved distinctly advan-
tageOus in later years when the
Marines were among the first OF
the armed forces to fight against
Mexico. In that conflict of 1845
about one-balf of the Marines had
seen service in Florida, fighting
hostile Indians who never to this
day have surrendered or been dis
logged from the vast swamps known
as the Florida Everglades, al
though their numbers were de-
cimated to a relative handful and
the government quit its campaign
because OF the sheer fut;lity.
Prior to the campaign in Flor
ida which had for its objective the
removal Of the Seminoles to In
dian territory west OF the Mis-
sissippi, the Marines had joined U.
S. Regular army troops in Geor-
gia in successful but bloody
campaign against the Creek In
dams. The first Indian fighting
in Florida by u. S. troops was
under General Jackson, who in
vaded the territory. even then I'M
der Spanish rule. and fought back
hostile Indians who had been re-
sisting the cncrOachment of Am
erican settlers coming down from
Georgia.
When the Greeks gave up and
the government began moving
them to the west. number of
their warriors joined with the
Marines and regular army troops
in the Florida campaign. fighting
their old enemies. the SeminOles.
Wide Campaign
In all of the drama o. valorous
war Service. no expedition ever
has furnished the Marine corps
with quite the excitement. hard
ships. and daring encountered in
Florida. The complete story per-
haps never will be told. The cam
paign was scattered to wide-flung
outposts There were no roads
and many swamps and rivers to
cross. Communication was many
times difficult to almost the i'm
possible, and marching was ex-
tremely hazardous and tediouslv
slow. For that reason. most of
the shifting of forces from fort
to fort and from outpost to out
post was by boat along the numer-
Gus streams. many times in
hitherto unexplored regions. This
gave the Indians ample oppor-
tunity for ambushing. and the
Seminoles practiced it per-
sistently.

 LEADING IN REPUBLICAN RACE

Continued From Page One) his campaign against the whole uninstructed- dele gate bloc. He will seek strenuously to crush Col onel Knox in the Illinois primary in April. The state is crucial for Knox because it is his home state.
 Borah himself faces a cru cial test on May 12 in the Ohio primary, where he is the only leading candidate entered, and is battling a determined old-line leader ship which desires to keep the delegation foot free by pledging it nominally to a faVOrite son.
 Landon, staying out of the primaries, will face his test in the convention itself.
 Hoover Talk Absent.
 The inevitable logic of the Republican situation is causing endless talk of dark horses.
 For the moment, former President Hoover does not figure prominently in these discussions. Even in Hoo- ver's home state of Califor- nia, Governor Merriam is trying to pledge the delega ton definitely to Landon.
 There is much talk of Sen ator Vandenberg, some talk of Senator Dickinson, a lit- tie talk of Senator SteiWer. But all of it, at this stage, is nothing but talk. The republican outlook remains as confused as the democra tic outlook is clear-cut.

 In a humble old shack, in far away Alaska. Now people of today seem to like to go away
 Though it may be more pleas ant and a little more gay To go to the states away from our rain and sleet But for me I would rather be in my little old shack in far away Alaska. Although it is humble and we have a lot of rain. All we ever need is a gun a fish hook and a seine and the rest is up to us. AS there is fish in the streams, Clans on the shore and the Deer comes almost down to our door in our far away Alaska. So why grumble and whine be- cause the sun does not shine, In our wonderful Alaska. It is one place I will never eX- change. Not even for a home on the Range. No matter where it may be, here is just one place for me. My little old shack in far away Alaska. But when spring is in the air and changes the atmosphere in our far away Alaska then we have glory galore, and most Beautiful are both water and shore.
