last week, would tow the vessel
to Newport News, Va, for re-
pairs.
Later a radio message was re-
ceived instructing the Warbler to
proceed to the assistance of the
Steamship Texas Banker. ashore
off Arkansas Pass, Texas, and the
Tug Relief, was summoned from
New York to tow the Welcombe.
The Warbler started the voyage
to aid the Texas Banker, but was
later on advised the grounded
ship had floated, and was instruct
ed to continue to Key West.
Captain H. S. Dexter, wrecking
master of the Warbler, who sup
ervised the operations of raising
the Welcombe, remained in Jack
sonyille to oversee the final pre-
parations in getting the vessel
ready for the tow to Newport
News.

ANNIVERSARY OF BLOODY TUESDAY,
BRINGS FOREBODINCS TO PARISIANS
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Feb. 11.-With the
cleft bloc" elements of the
French chamber of deputies in
especially strong political posi-
tions, Paris is approaching the
anniversary of "bloody Tuesday
in February with some forebod-
ings. wondering what the Croix
de Ecu, the Young Patriots and
other rightist organizations are
going to do.
Pierre Laval prolonged the life
of his cabinet in December with
law authorizing the disbanding
of earned political leagues" but
not one league has been dis
banded.
To the contrary, the Croix de
Ecu now boasts nearly half mil
lion members; the Young Patriots
claim to have doubled their men,
bership, and the minor league
leaders are equally pleased with
themselves.

OTHER RARE FISH
AT LOCAL AQUARIUM

Recent additions to the
Key West Tropical Aquarium
tanks are an oetupus, a Por-
tuguese man-of-war and sew
eral fish known as Por-
tuguese man-of-war fish. The
latter are in one of the large
oval tanks.
These fish are beautifully
marked, long and slender,
with two ventral fins near
the head which, when spread
while the fish Is swimming,
appear more like wings than
fins.
1t is understood that the
name applied to this beauti-
full denizen of the sea is be-
cause of its habits of keep
ing continually near the ten
tacies of the Portuguese
man-of-war and are not af-
fected by the powerful nema-
tocysts which are a part of
the tentacles and capable of
inflicting painful stings-
the octupus is one of the
smaller kird, and when seen
this morning had attached
itself to the sides of a tank
on the right section of the
aquarium, and was stealthiIy
moving upward to the sur
face.

Raising revenue for the purpose
of operating the municipality of
Key West is the problem con-
fronting the city council, said
Clifford C. Hicks yesterday to
The Citizen.
Taxes are not being collected,
hence it becomes imperative for
the council to take steps to Sc
cure funds to continue operation,
and that was the idea of the sales
tax proposition which was dis
cussed perfunctorily at the meet
ing of city council, last Wednes-
day night, said MIR. Hicks.
Advised by the city attorney
that it was his opinion that coun-
ell could not put a sales tax into
effect unless authorized by the
legislature, it was decided, said
Mr.. Hicks, to meet with the
mayor Sunday, and endeavor to
take steps toward devising ways
and means to collect revenue.
Due to the illness of the mayor
the meeting was not held.
1t is Mr.. Hicks idea that a
small tax could be collected on
Injuries, including wines, beers
and liquors, gasoline, and pos
sibly other sources of revenue
could be discovered which would
be so small, individually, as to
work no hardship, but which
would, in the aggregate, be ample
to continue operation of the sew
eral departments of the city which
are now in terrible condition. he
said.
Since the proposal of a sales tax
for Key West was made at the
meeting Of council last week, the
idea has been the subject of city
wide discussion. For the benefit
of its readers, The Citizen began
an Investigation to determine if
there was any authority for the
council establishing any tax of
this kind.

lace Pinder it was found the

Borah's Entry In Ohio Race
Now Has Tactical Significance
Political Leaders Begin
Discussions Bearing On
Outstanding Topics In
Campaign
By BYRON PRICE


(Chief of bureau. The Associated
Press. Washington
There are special reasons why
the dominant leaders of the Re.
publican party are deeply inter-
ested, indeed, in Senator Borah's
decision to enter the presidential
primary in Ohio.
If it merely were a question of
delegates--of a few votes, more
or less, in the national convention
no one would be greatly con.
cerned. But what Mr.. Borah is
after amounts to a great deal
more than that.
Ohio is a proud state in Repub.
lican tradition. This year it will
entertain, at Cleveland, the ma
tional convention. 1t commands
almost the largest bloc of cleo
toral votes in that mid-western
sector where many politicians be-
lieve the election of 1896 will be
decided.
Against that background Mr..
Borah proposes to submit to a
popular test his demand that the
present leadership of the party
be repudiated by the rank and
file.
Particularly, he asks for a pop
ular verdict against the coi1ven-
ton plans of the old-line leaders
These plans, as announced in the
various states, contemplate the
selection of uninstructed delega-
lions in the east and midwest,
including Ohio, in sufficient num-
bers to hold the balance of power
with respect to the nomination.
A Psychological Blow
Suppose Borah wins his case
at the hands of the Republican
voters of that crucial state.
What becomes of the plans of the
leaders, morally and psychol-
ogically, and what becomes of
their leadership?
The answer need not involve,
except incidentally, the much-dis-
cussed question whether Borah
seriously is candidate, or wheth-
er he has any idea he can be nomi-
mated.
He has said quite directly that
his first concern is the breaking
down of the present leadership,
which he regards as reactionary.
That fits in exactly with his hest
tant conduct, his determination
not to go into states where he
feels the sort Of verdict he is seek
ing would be foreclosed.
His lingering progress toward
an actual announcement obviously
has not resembled the usual coy
ness of presidential aspirants. His
tentative and cautious footsteps
have been more like those of a
wise pedestrian crossing an ice
covered street in traffic.
A candidate who expects to be
nominated must go out after dele
gates wherever there is any out
side chance of gathering in even
a few. Mr.. BOrah has had long
experience in politics, and must
know the difficulties which stand
between him and the nomination.
He chooses to strike only where
the psychological effect promises
to be greatest.

the animal after his capture. Now

the animals are captured and then
goes beyond to show the transport
ing in cages to this country and
