Charlotte AmlaIie
Again Is Capital
Of Virgin Islands
Change From, St. Thomas
to Original Name
Is Made.

st. Thomas, the capital city of the
Virgin Islands, today changes its name
back to Charlotte Amalie-pronounced
A-mal-ye.
The foisting of the name of St.
Thomas on the Virgin Islanders in
1921, four years after the United States
purchased the Caribbean islands from
Denmark, was one Americanization
that could not be maintained. For
nearly three centuries, since 1873, the
natives had known the little harbor
town as Charlotte Amalie. It was SO
named by King Christian v of Den
mark in honor Of his royal consort,
Princess Charlotte Amalie, and the
islanders want the name back.
The people Of the Virgin Islands,
through an ordinance passed by their
Colonial Council, signed by Gov. Law
renee w. Cramer, dispensed of St.
modern American designation Of st.
Thomas for their principal city and
readopted the old Danish name
Secretary Ickes and the Board on
Geographical Names, Department Of
the Interior, ratified the wishes of the
islanders.
Hereafter all letters and shipments
intended for the capital of the islands
should bear the restored name.
st. Thomas was substituted by the
Americans because there was some
doubt about the actual spelling of the
Danish name. Research finally dis
closed that the last word of the double
name should end with e."

was the admission of testimony of

Maxwell was found dying in the door

This testimony. first admitted. was
excluded later by Judge Carter. but
