To the Bervaldi lines, Mayor
Albury replied, The people
haven't even money to move
away. Then in the dramatic
silence which followed, William
R. Porter arose and said, q
make. the motion that we turn
the city over to the government,
and see what they can do about
it,. In selected and well ar
ranged group which composed the
audience thunderous applause
then rang out.
Immediately after the Court
room scene, another sound shot
was made in which Miss TIeen
Williams and Wallace BRYANT
Kirke both made talks showing
that the people of the city Were
making vigorous efforts that the
natural charm of Key West woald
be preserved when the bridges
were opened. stressing the coming
plan and the effort to interest
those tourists especially who will
not ruin the charm of the city.
A panorama shot of the city
from the La Concha Hotel was
made yesterday. Other miScel-
laneous shots structures which
are to picture Key West as it was
when the city was bankrupt are
being taken through the week.
Tomorrow at 3 p. m the bath
ing crowd at the Beach Pool will
be photographed. An especially
large crowd is requested by
George Black, director. In the
morning a Coast Guard plane
will arrive and take the group
over the Keys for shots of the en-
tire chain of islands, which is
expected TO be one of the most
beautiful scenes in the film.
Monday the group are to 90 to
Tortugas where the Old Fort
and wrecked ships viii be taken.
Tuesday the Casa Marina will be
photographed pending approval
of Peter B. Schultz. manager.

NJ. North. third assistant post
master general said today the
Post Office Department had TAX.
en- under advisemenf the proposal
10 issue a memorial stamp COM
memorating the opening of the
famed Oversee Highway bridge.
He declined to comment on
the chances of the proposals go

he is in charge of the Depart
ment's stamp division the decision
in such a matter would rest with
Postmaster General James A.
Farley.
North said that there are scores
of such recent requests from
communities all over the country
for stamp issues to commemorate
both modern and historic events,
but that the Department feels il
IS practical to issue only limited
number of such stamps.
Since we are limited to such
few issues. we have always had
difficulty in choosing between
different worthy events. and GER

Is a memorable one" North said

OH, TANKERS
FOR WAR USES
u. S. Will Join With Private
Enterprise For Arm
ing Ships
NEW POLICY OF DEFENSE

Washington United States
has begun to move forward toward
its goal of armed peace by joining
hands with private enterprise, with
out congressional sanction or action,
to meet urgent navy requirements.
Marking a new policy in the ma
tional defense program, the Stand
ard Oil Company OF New Jersey
has signed an agreement with the
maritime commission to construct
twelve high-speed tankers which
could be transformed overnight into
auxiliary fighting vessels.
During times Of peace, the vessels
would go about their own business,
Transporting oil. But, in the event
Of war, the ships literally would be
thrown into high gear, guns and
navy searchlights would be mount
ed and the cruising range extended.
United States Pays for Arming.
Standard Oil-and other oil COM
panies probably will take part in the
program-has agreed to pay for the
construction and maintenance Of the
tankers, with the maritime commits
sion standing the cost Of the auxil-
iary equipment.
Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman Of
the commission, announced the
company had awarded contracts to-
falling $37. $50, ,0O4 for the twelve tank
ers to four shipbuilding concerns,
each to build three.
The latest agreement, plus con
struction Of twelve high-speed
cargo vessels, for which bids will
be opened February /, and a mod
ern safety liner to replace the Levi
athan in the North Atlantic, will
bring to twenty-five the number of
ships now part Of the commits
sion's ambitious building program.
Jobs for 10000.
Cost Of the ships was estimated
between $50. .0OO,0 900 and SIS, 900, 900,
unofficially and would give employ
ment to an estimated 10000 ship
yard workers.
Kennedy pointed out that the
agreement did not represent a sub
sidy to Standard Oil but constitut-
ed step in national defense. The
commissions share in the cost Of
construction will be $40. 563, 900.
The ships will have a speed Of
l6h knots fully loaded compared
with 1211 knots Of the ordinary tank
er. They will have a tonnage Of
1890 tons dead weight, length Of
s25 feet and a cargo capacity of
$50, barrels.
Modern in every detail, the horse
lower will be stepped up to u, 800,
thus being able to develop 300 per
cent more power than the ordinary
commercial tankers.

STRIKES EARLY
AS YEAR OF 1867
Took Place at New Orleans,
Louisiana Among French
Workers
A "HUNGER STRIKE"

New Observation-Disclosures had a
brief workers strike and an even
briefer hunger strike" I'll years
ago. according to facts found in an
old letter by WPA workers in an
archives study.
The strike was forgotten with the
years until the letter, written by
Antonio E. Ulloa, the first Spanish
governor Of the domain, was uncov-
cred. The incident occurred on an
island in the Mississippi river. The
letter was dated March IS, 1857, and
was addressed to Senior Don An
tonic Boscareli, captain-general Of
Cuba, at Havana. Ulloa requested
endorsements, both because Of
the strike and "depraved ,pirie"
he noted in the new domain, then
just recently acquired from France.
Ulloa had a number Of French and
Spanish subjects employed moving
some dilapidated huts to the is
land, where San Carlos fort was be-
ing erected. Another group Of
French. still resentful over the
transfer of the colony to Spain. ac-
cording to the letter, refused to do
any work on the fort and beacon
without extra pay.
The Spaniards were gathered, Ul-
loa wrote. from among vagrant
sailors occupied in Illicit trades, all
Of them dissolute and incorrigible." ]"
They worked willingly enough the
first day. but the French melted
them to rebellion, Ulloa charged,
and precipitated strike Of II Of
the men.
That night the food riot" oc-
Cured, the letter. related. The work
ers threw their rations 'disrespect-
fully at the Spanish overseer who
was waiting on them"
Next day all came to the COVER
nor in body and through Gregorio
Con, a spokesman, announced they
did not want to do any work on the
island.
II did not give him the oppor-
tunity to go on further" the gov
ernor wrote. II called the French
storekeeper and two or three others
and ordered them to apprehend him
and lock him in the wrecked hut
which is used as a prison, and had
him shackled. I told the rest of the
men that the privateers anchored in
the bay had yardarms which are
used to stop mutinies. This was
enough to make them start work
ing more diligently"

Mary Reed Believed Her AfflictiOn
With Leprosy a Divine Call to Relieve
Her Fellow Sufferers at Chandag

eign Missionary society in Janu-
ary, 1885, Miss Reed was as
signed to work in CaWnpore,
where today a marble angel
marks the site of the well into
which the treacherous Mana
Sahib flung 125 English women
and children to death. No better
field could be found for teaching
loving kindness and tender
mercy.
Before she started her new
duties, poor health compelled
her to spend a few weeks at
Pithoragarh in the Himalaya
mountains. During her recovery
she studied the native language
and observed the methods of
missionary work.
Her pity was awakened by the
report that within a small ra-
dius of Pithoragarh lived 500
]epers in a state of painful suf-
fering and miserable despair.
TWO years later, at this place,
was constructed the asylum
for lepers over which Mary
Reed has presided successfully
for AZ years.
The plight of these lepers
made deep impression on
Mary Reed.
After her recovery she spent
four years of energetic effort in
the mission at Cawnpore. She
was then transferred to Gonda,
where for a year she taught in
the Girls Boarding school. BY
this time her health was broken
again, and she returned to the
United States for treatment.
While recovering from an op-
GRAFTON in Christ's hospital, Gin
cinnati, she was worried by a
painful soreson the forefinger Of
her right hand. The doctors
were baffled; all their treat
ments were in vain.
One day the Lord revealed
to her in a vision what her af-
Fiction was and why it was. It
was leprosy. It was sent to her
as sign that she would fulfill
the divine purpose by minister

bern in this house on Dec. 4.
1854. Seven of the children ST.
still living.
About 30 years ago the num-
BILE birthplace of Mary Reed
was moved to the rear of the
lot, second story was added,
and the completed structure
used as a barn and later, a ga
rage.
Five years after the birth of
Mary Reed, her father decided
to move his harness and sad
dlery business to a farm at
Crooked Tree in Noble county,
Ohio. Here she learned to per-
form the difficult tasks of a
farm household. Here she ac-
quired an education by trudging
along muddy roads to a one
room country schoolhouse. Here
at Williamson's church, at the
age of 16, she was converted.
COON after this conversion her
- mother inspired her with
desire to become a missionary.
Too young for missionary work
at once, she decided to prepare
herself for a teachers career.
At Dexter City and Malta she
continued her education. Then
for several years she taught
schools at Harmony Hill and
Mill Grove in Morgan county
and Kenton in Hardin county.
Teaching, however, was only
temporary service; the ambition
of her life was to carry the gos-
pei to people in foreign lands.
Mary Reed offered her serv-
