Treasures
Along the reef waters and UNI
der the sands of the upper Keys
there is much treasure buried.
One group of Key West boat
men found metal bars in the hull
of an old Spanish galleon which
they were going to use for ballast.
Another Key Wester, happening
along, saw the bars, took out his
pen knife, and idly whitfield at
them to see what was beneath the
slime and barnacles. He finally
offered to buy them as ballast for
his boat. The others wouldn't
sell as they needed ballast badly,
but finally made the sale when
a good price was offered them.
The bars were solid silveri
Behind the truss factory an old
man, dressed very raggedly, was
often seen peering out of the
mangrove swamp there. One aft
ernoon, someone happening TO go
through the swamp found a chest
with the top sawed through. The
old man was seen no more from
that time on. The chest remained
in the swamp until a few years
ago when it was removed for con-
struction purposes.
Another Key West resident
who was poor and owned but a
single fallen-doWn shack was
sinking hole for a fence post.
The colored fellow digging the
hole struck something hard and
was forced to cease work for the
day. The next morning the hole
was found to be much wider and
no obstruction in it, The month
following the fellow bought prop

Luxury ocean-liner travel north
via the cruise-way becomes even
more of an economy after May l
when Clyde-Mallory Lines, ac-
cording to c. E. Smith, local
agent, will reduce the round trip
fares from Miami TO New York
for the spring and summer.
Cr9ise-way travellers enjoy the
same. approach to the New York
sky line that thrills visitors and
homecomers from Europe. From
the moment the vessels slip past
the Statue of Liberty, the lowered
metropolis welcomes the Vaca-
tionists with many attractions at
this time of year. Only the hit
plays are continuing in the thea
tres. ramIIlar faces in hotel lob
bies turn out to be movie stars
enjoying their annual New York
trip.
Courteous guides usher visitors
through the great broadcasting
studios at Rockefeller Center in
which are produced the shows
that America hears nightly over
the air. Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMag-

Terry are playing at the Yankee

Mr.. Roberts said, and received
STAT as their share. The ship was
flcated by putting large empty
kerosene barrels along its sides
and hauling her off.
In 1870 a Mallory line, old
style steamer, went aground on
smooth, rock bottom. Part of her
cargo was taken off and the ship
floated.
The largest ship sailing in those
days was wrecked up on the
Keys, Mr.. Roberts said. Some

the great Barrier Reef and piled

on every lip. And because, 1T infre-
quent intervals, he knew that this
condition never would exist, the crav-
ing had reached prodigious proper
tions.
Now, like bolt from the blue, the
door OF opportunity had swung open.
"Suicide!" he shrieked dramatically
pointing toward the man who was
perched on ledge five stories above
the street. Stand back every one!
Suicide Stand clear!"
A startled. gaping crowd gathered
as though by magic, and while they
were gathering Felix bounded through
the door of the hotel. "Suicide!" he
beloved. Man going to jump from
the fifth story of this hotel!"
The effect Of his words couldn't
have produced more satisfactory re-
suits. People In the lobby jumped to
their feet. Some rushed outside. Some
gathered around the little man and
asked foolish questions. Inwardly,
Felix thrilled. Tonight every news
paper in the city would publish his
picture on the front page as the man
who had first discovered the suicide.
A sandy haired man with spectacles
grasped Felix by the arm. What's
that you say? Are you sure? I'm
the assistant manager Dear me, this
is terrible! Where can Mr.. Jones be?'
Felix knew opportunity when he saw
it. Come on" he yelled, grabbing the
sandy-haired man and leading him
toward the elevators. Maybe we can
stop him!"
Half the people in the lobby tried
to crowd into the elevator, but Felix
pushed them back. He pushed the
sandy haired man in and got in him
self. Fifth floor and rush It'll" he
snapped, Importantly.
The corridor on the fifth floor was
deserted. Felix. guessing at the loca-
ton OF the man. turned left, then
right. There was an open window at
the end Of the hall. He rushed up to
1t and thrust out his head.
The man who planned to commit
suicide hadn't jumped. He was stand
ing on the lip Of the ledge staring
down at the mob that had formed in
the street. His face wore a scowl.
"Hey" shouted Felix at the top Of
his lungs. you can't do that! Come
back here!"
The man on the ledge looked at
him and scowled more darkly. "What7"
he yelled back. Cant hear you.

Of the ledge. The man looked UP.

cupped his ear, and Felix repeated
his shrieked commonplace.

other. then another and another. A
patrol wagon, an ambulance and two
flre trucks arrived simultaneously
Firemen scurried around like ants,
dragging out life net. News photog-
raphers pointed their cameras up at
the ledge. Police kept the excited
crowd away from the space below.
Felix waved his hand, encouragingly.
The sandy-haired man returned
bearing tray with q cup Of coffee
and two sandwiches. Five men were
with him. Felix took the tray and
ignored the men.
Did you get the sleeping powder?"
The sandy-haired man nodded.

window, yelled at the man and Of

tray and said: Thanks, pal" Felix
watched with bated breath while the
man ate the sandwiches and drank
the coffee. For a moment he thought
the sleeping powders weren't going to

Supreme Court Orders Lower Court to Permit
NLRB to Withdraw Republic Steel Case Order

Washington, D. c. (ILNs) The
Y. S. Supreme Court, in its last ses-
sion before October, handed down two
decisions of Importance to labor,
slapped the Third judicial circuit
court, and threw out plea by COM
pany union. 1t refused the govern
ment's plea to give a rehearing to its
decision in the Kansas City stock
yards case, and did not rule on the
Tom Mooney application The ex-
treme length Of the record is suppos-
ed to be the reason why this decision
was postponed.
In the Republic Steel case, the
Third circuit court, at the plea of
the Republic Steel Corporation, is
sued an injunction forbidding the
NLRB to withdraw its order to the
Republic, and proceed further. The
effect of this injunction was to tie
the boards hands pretty completely
and it went to the supreme court.

PENDANTS, Merle Middleton, one of the
numerous relatives of the former
sheriff, and Lee Hubbard, pool room
owner and former deputy, out of the
room to the office of U. S. commits
sioner, and arraigned them on affida-
wits charging them with subornation
of perjury. An employe of the pool
room was brought in at the same
time, and received the same treat
ment.
Everyone in the county except the
jury knows of this, and that it was
brought to head by the evidence
which Ernest Huff, a young coal
miner, was not allowed to give to the
jury. The arraigned men tried to
bribe him to contradict his first tes-
timony. The cases will go before the
grand jury in October.
