ART EXHIBITION
REVEALS ARTISTS
WORKING METHODS
"AoUAcHRoMATIc ExHIBI-
TON OPENING TOMORROW
AT ART CENTER IS OF WA
TERCOLoRS

One of the most important
watercolor exhibitions of the
year makes its showing at the
Key West Art Center. opening
tomorrow, under the appropriate
title of 1.-The Aquachromatic Ex-
hibition".
These pictures were selected
from hundreds of original water
colors submitted by some of Am
erica's most famous painters, in
which each artist has indicated
in series of squares provided on
the front of each painting, the
colors he used, by an actual
brush mark.
Thus the supposed mystery
of the working methods of some
of our greatest contemporary ar
lists, is barred for public scrutiny.
This exhibition is receiving the
cooperation of some of Americas
leading art institutions, such as
the Tiffany Foundation, Ma
tional Association of Women
Painters and Sculptors, and many
museums throughout the coun-
try. The American artist today
is showing an ever-increasing in
terest in the permanency of paint
ings done with water colors.

ALBURY ELECTION
FRAUD WARNING
NOW FULFILLED
SUPREME COURT DENIES AN
OTHER TRIAL OF TAMPA
CASE: CIRCUIT COURT HAD
REMOVED ALBuaY

According to advices received
from Tallahassee the Florida SUI
preme court ruled Saturday that
another trial of five Tampa citi-
zenS on election fraud charges
cannot be held. fulfilling the
warning of Judge William v. AL
bury of Key West, who presided
at the August Q trial, that this
would happen if the Circuit Court
were allowed to remove him.
Circuit Judge l.. l.. Parks ruled
that the order assigning Judge
Albury to the Hillsborough coun-
ty criminal court was not valid
because it was not signed person
ally by Gov. Fred =. Cone, i'll at
the time. Judge Albury left the
bench the day OF the ruling.
The state supreme court, while
forced to decree that the men
could not be brought to trial
again because this would place
them in legal double jeopardy,
said Judge Parks had no power
to prohibit Albury from proceed
ing with the trial.

This is one of the reasons I have
advised my attorney 10 oppose
these proceedings: if these de-
fndants are To be freed without
trial IL shall be no fault of mine.
There are other vital and import
ant issues and questions involved
in this unprecedented proceeding
which ! feel should be decided.
But. in view of the attitude of
the daily newspapers and the
groups they represent. in de-
handing that the courts ignore
law and adopt their wishes as the
law. and their vicious attacks
against me. I feel have created
such coalition in this com

cost of this expeditionary army.
Some authorities say taxes have
covered only 10 percent of the
cost of the Japanese army in
Manchukuo.

years to develop a poverty ridden

Consider Naval Station,

Officials Make Favorable
Comment But Give No

engineer. of New Orleans, Fl. H.
Perkins, of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority, and D. W. Cole, as
sistant director of the aviation
division of the State Road De-
partment of Florida, who arrived
by plane Friday morning, spent
the day looking over the posi-
bilities of an airport in this sec
ton. =
They were accompanied by B.
Curry Moreno, area supervisor
of the Works Progress Admins
tration, Franklin Albert. head of
the department of project plan
ming of the WPA, and Robert
Graham, in charge of the radio
station of the Department OF
Commerce.
The group went over the pro-
posed airport site near the Key
West Golf Links, and discussed
the data which was compiled by
Mr.. Moreno some time ago when
the proposed airport was first
brought to the attention of au-
thorities in Key West.
Plans for the several sug-
gested runways were outlined
and numerous compilations of
data made in connection with
the runways and the boundaries
TO be followed. The day was
productive of a great deal of
conjecture in Key West, but
those directly interested in the
inspection had nothing favorable
or unfavDrab1e to say.
From the site of the proposed
airport the officials went to the
naval station and met Lieutenant
Fort Callahan, u. S. NJ, officer
in charge together with l.. NJ.
Pierce. aide to Lieutenant Gala
han, and made a thorough in
spection of facilities at the sta
ton in connection with the pro-
posed airport.

conferred with Lieutenant E. r.

Coast and Gcodetic Survey rel
alive TO soundings and others Sc
cured by Lieutenant Mccarthy.
Neither Mr.. Haight, Mr.. Per-
kins nor Mr.. Cole, made any
statement as to their findings
nor the conclusions arrived at,
but il is thought from the ex-
preSsions of satisfaction made at
intervals by the group that their
inspections were productive OF
very favorable impressions.

as addressed to Mr.. Singleton:
THANK you sincerely for your
letter of October H. 1t was good
in you to take the time to explain
the situation there. / have writ
ten several towns in Florida and
your answer is the outstanding
one, in its warm consideration.
For instance from Palm Beach,
the answer was just in a few
words.
Il do not know whether or not
you are tennis player, but if
not, you probably would not at
tach too much importance to this
over any other sport. l have for
gotten how many players are in
this country, but the number is
far in excess of any other sport.
My brother, Daniel C. Robin
son of New York asked me to
write you. I thought that you
might be interested in knowing
that he and his Harvard Univer-
sity associates are unanimous in
declaring Key West their choice
of all Florida cities as offering
the seclusion, the charm and
stability which is so imperative
in their lives.
Il read carefully from cover to
cover "A Welcome to Key West.
1t is beautiful tribute to both
Key West and yourself. 1t frees
the town from the stain of ques-
tionable commercial competition
and cheapness. 1t leaves one with
desire to sing Home Sweet

spokesman, as having found there
the greatest thing in the world,

worthy of being bound in leather
