BARSTOWS TO
RESIDE HERE
MAKING REPAIRS To HOME
PURCHASED SEVERAL
MONTHS AGO

E. c. Bairstow, of Washing
ton, d. c., Mrs. Bairstow and
daughter, Miss Josephine, are
making preparations to take up
their residence in Key West, as
they promised when they were
here several months ago.
During that visit Mr.. Bairstow
decided that Key West would be
a fine place to have a home, and
began search for a typical Key
West residence which would meet
the family's requirements.
One day while riding along
Southland street, the old Saunders
residence at the corner of Fran
els attracted the attention of Miss
Josephine and she expressed the
wish that her father purchase this
home if it was for sale.
Within a short time arrange
ments had been concluded for the
purchase, ali legal matters ar
ranged and when Mr.. Bairstow
and his family left for Washing
ton he owned his, Key West home
and had already made arrange
ments for certain repairs pending
his return.
There are now IS men at work
on the building which is being
placed in first class condition
without any of its Key West
characteristics being changed in
the least. The home is to be
electrified throughout and the
family will move in, it is expected,
within the next six weeks.

ECONOMIC HICHLICHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend

A little less than Four years
ago when President-to-be ROose-
welt was campaigning for the
highest office in the land, the ma
jority of business men were for
his opponent, Incumbent Herbert
Hoover. But good-sized mi
nority was for the Ex-Governor of
New York, and in that minority
were some OF the most famed
names in U. S. industry-Raskob.

These men not only endorsed the
Roosevelt candidacy-they con-
tributed handsomely to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund when money
was badly needed.
The Governor Of New York be-
came the President Of the United
States. And even the majority of
business men. who had marked
their X on the ballot opposite the
name OF Hoover, were not wor-
ried They thought the Demo
cratic platform was sound; they
liked some Of the new Presidents
campaign speeches. Even as the
President enjoyed a long 'honey-
moon" with Congress. so did he
eniov a honeymoon with industry.
The business honeymoon, how
ever. was OF short duration. Mf.
Roosevelt had not been in office
MANY months before it became
obvious that he was gradually

such as the NRA. One by one
they resigned, because they could
not agree with Administration
policies. Other men. who never
held Government positions. but
had more or less approved Presi-
Dental ideas, gradually became
outspoken in criticism.
Result of the three and quar-
ter years of Roosevelt stewardship
is an almost 100 per cent cleavage
between the Administration and
industry.

With Italy's proclamation of

the limbo of history. 1t long ago

bluffing.
Big question is. What effect
will this hove on the League ot

was made by the Chambers presi-

Hearing on the report of the

of $1,500,000. If these viaducts
could not be secured the other

to install new radiobeacon trans

Der of this district selected to d"
this important work.
AS the Cuba passed the Tender
Ivy, flagship of this district, a
salute of three whistles was
sounded for Mr.. Rom, which was
returned by the Cuba.
At Havana, Mr.. Rom embarked
on the Dollar Line S. S. President

will disembark at Balboa, on the
south side of the Canal. On March

RUDOLPH WALKIN ARRAIGN.
ED ON CHARGE OF AS
SAULT AND BATTERY

Rudolph Walkin, colored, was
arraigned yesterday afternoon be-
fore Peace Justice Frank o. Rob-
erts on a charge of assault and
battery.
This charge was based on the
actions of Walkin in the matter
of providing a colored woman
with a drink of liquor, which it is
alleged contained wood alcohol in
sufficient quantity to make the
woman i'll and impair her vision
for about one week. His be-
havior subsequent to the woman's
drinking the liquor brought about
the assault and battery charge.
All of the incidents in connec-
ton with one phase of the charges
were heard and the defendant was
bound over to criminal court in
bond of 500.

efs, all eelofed.
There are 81 skilled or semi
skilled laborers from Dade county
on the Keys projects, Mr.. Gomez
points out, and states he is positive
he can locate S5 in Monroe coun.
ty equally qualified and in many
instances, perhaps better quail
fled, to fill the positions.
The information furnished by
the administrator, according to
the senator, ''shows on its face
that federal projects for the re-
lief of the citizens of Monroe
county are being utilized for the
benefit of citizens of Dade coun-
ty."
The senator then asks "is it right
that the citizens of Monroe coun-
ty should go without employment
while the citizens of its neighbor
and sister county, with abundant
resources, receive such benefits. +"
Ii il is because the answer to this
negotiable situation is that "skill-
ed or semi-skilled employees now
selected from Dade county can
not be obtained in Monroe coun-
ty" Senator Gomez differs with
his informant.
He wrote that he appreciates
"your cooperation and I am sure
it is your intention to do the very
best possible for Monroe county
and its people," However, the
senator offers the opinion shown
in the first paragraph of this
article.
The communication concludes
with During the last legislature
l was one of the members of the
Senate who encouraged every
proposition looking towards fed
eral aid for the relief of Florida.
I confess that since that time my
enthusiastic faith has been some
what disturbed. due in part to the
reasons set forth in this commun-
ication."
