LETTER RECEIVED
HERE BEARING ON
BLIGHT OF SPONGE
TELEGRAMS SENT TO FLOR
IDA REPRESENTATIVES IN
INTEREST OF OPERATIVES
AFFECTED

Earl Russell, of the Benjamin
M. Russell Company in Key West,
is in receipt of a letter from DR..
Paul S. Galtsoff, of the Depart
ment of Fisheries, at Washington,
in which the doctor expresses his
appreciation of the samples of
diseased sponges taken in these
waters and which were sent to
him.
DR.. Galtsoff was sent here by
the bureau about five weeks ago
to make a study of the infection
or blight which had made its ap-
pearance first in the Bahama Is
lands and shortly afterward in
this area and caused a great deal
of damage to all grades of sponge.
Upon his return to Washington
DR.. Galtsoff completed his stud
les of the diseased growths and
is now preparing his report COW
ering the situation which will
form the basis of outlining some
kind of project for rehabilitating
the sponge bottoms, and will
write to Key West as soon as the
project is approved by the Com
missioner of Fisheries.
Information contained in the
letter Isl that no mortality was
found among the sponges in the
west coast of Florida, although a
certain number of diseased spong-
es were found still alive in Sec
tions between Carabelle and Ce-
dar Keys. The bureau is watch
ing the further development of
the disease, which has at present
not affected the Tarpon Springs
fishery.
In connection with the blight,
so evident in the area affecting
Key West, kilograms have been
sent to Senator Claude Pepper,
Senator c. o. Andrews and Con-
gresham Pat Cannon, asking
that they give their support and
endeavor to have some project
arranged whereby a means of
livelihood could be provided for
those who have been directly af-
fected and their families.

TALLAHASSEE, May 90
Balm for the tormented souls and
bodies of first termers in the
Florida Legislature was asked in
a House bill introduced by Rep
resentatives Surrency of Sarasota

New members, they said, 'are

distinguish between statecraft
and statechaff''.
Continuing, their bill reads:
The noyices and greenhorns
have spent days and nights read

all of the traps, snares, boys,

their paths, but they are contin-

'Greenhorn first termers have

and hilarity, and thereby have
suffered untold mental pain and
anguish galore.

ARMANDO MACHIN
IS GIVEN HEARING
DEFENDANT ARRAIGNED ON
CHARGE OF AS
SAULT

Armando Machin was this
morning given an examination in
the court of County Judge Ray
.mond r. Lord, on a charge of as
sault on the person of Albert
Arnau, who charged that Machin
had made an effort to kill him
by shooting with a revolver.
1t developed during the hearing
that Machin went to his home and
there ensued an argument be-
tween him and his stepSon, Ar
nau; heated words followed and
Machin drew a SO revolver, and
fired once when but a distance
of seven feet separated the men.
Although such a short distance
was between them when the shot
was fired, it was shown that the
bullet entered the floor several
feet from Arnao, although wit
nesses, members of the family,
were convinced that Machin in
tended his shot to be fatal be-
cause he said he would kill Ar
mao.
The court ruled that it was a
case of aggravated assault land
placed the defendant under a
bond of $500, which had : been
posted last night when he was
arrested! by Deputy Sheriff Ray
Elwood following the difficulty
which occurred at the Machin
home on Bahama street.
