THE RISING TIDE


rising tide is a harbinger of better times,
improving conditions.
And, Key West is surely an am
phibian city, an island in the sea; SUBJ
iected as we know all too we'll to the ebb
and flow of fortune.
There are signs on every hand that
flood tide of better times is beginning
that may reasonably be expected to sur
pass in lasting degree, anything that we
have known in the past. foa.fs
One of the greatest potential attrac-
tions that we have for the tourist is that
stored ruin Fort Jefferson, now being re-
stored as National Monument with all of
the tremendous power of publicity in
herent in the National Park Service to
bring it to public attention. We are as
sured that the inducements offered to the
winter visitor to visit that famous place
will far surpass, this coming season, the
tentative efforts put forth last year. It is
the only place in the United States that
lies beyond Key West; and to Key West
will come all the visitors to Fort Jeffer-
son.
We have had bitter taste this sum-
mer of what it means for Key West to be
cut off from Havana and all the lovely is
land to which it is the gateway. A flow of
travel, once checked, is slow to resume it's
former volume, but we have the "Cuba" in
service again at last, reconditioned and no
longer will it be necessary for the secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce to
write to hundreds of inquirers the dis
couraging message that Service has been
temporarily discontinued on account of
labor trouble but will be. resumed at an
early date"
Since the latter part of July, we have
had this handicap to contend with. That
is over. Once more we can invite travel
ers to Cuba to travel over the marvellous
the shortest possible voyage from the
United States and coastwise journeys to
Tampa will be resumed
Readers of The Citizen will recall
that remarkable statement, quoted by the
National Park News Bulletin, from let
ter from the "Friendly Service" one of the
country's great tour agencies, that SO per
cent of the inquiries coming to them were
from people interested in Florida.
Miami is preparing for many thou
sands more of visitors than it entertained
last year, and a goodly number of those
visitors will be very glad to come to quiet
old Key West, after lodging the swirling
torrents of Entertainment in our metro
politan sister city.
If we are wise, we will build up our
reputation as a retreat and not enter into
futile emulation of the night life and "hot
spots" of any other city. We can be pre-
eminent and hold commanding position
along our own lines. That is better than
being a sideshow alongside the Big
Tent.
We have not here recounted the
great, material things that the rising tide
is bringing to us. The housing project,
which we owe to the untiring persistence
of few of our solid citizens, the assur-
ance of a water main which will logically
follow this great improvement, the very
probable early beginning of work on the
road from Big Pine to Key West. The
tide is rising. Make ready.

Lecturer Is Indicted
On Fa|se-Pretense
Charge
Woman Claimed to Be
Healer, Got $500 Fee,
Grand Jury Told

Contending that she represented
herself to be an international au-
thofity and lecturer on nutrition and
psychology and q mental healer"
the District Court grand jury yes
terday indicted Rosalyn Randle-
whom they said was also known as
Helen G. Randle-on a charge of
false pretenses for allegedly taking
$500 from young mans mother on
the claim that she could improve
his mental health.
The case is being handled by
Assistant United States Attorney
Arthur B. Caldwell. The complain
ant is Mrs. Catherine H. Reed, whose
son, Rufus Reed, was a student at
the University of Pennsylvania and
graduated with honors in June. Mrs.
Reeds address was given as 1928
Hiatt place NV.
The indictment recited that Miss
Randle had lectured at the Shore
ham Hotel last January and that
Mrs. Reed attended and became
acquainted with her. The indict-
ment declared that Miss Randle ad-
vised Mrs. Reed that she had many
years of experience as a healer and
had specialized in treatment of
mental cases and was particularly
qualified and equipped to diagnose
and treat" her son.

There will be a round table dis
cussion Of Problems Confronting

an effort to represent all sides OF
the issue involved the following
forum speakers will participate: {:
William K. MacMahon of the Ross

At a meeting of the council this

mother was told that q student
guard had been named by the uni
versity authorities for her son and
that Miss Randle claimed that she
had q picture Of the young mans
brain showing alleged malformation
The Government contends that Miss
Randle claimed that the son was
weak -willed and had suicidal COM
plex and that she had represented
that she had been retained by a
wealthy family Of North Carolina
to take the heir to a tobacco fortune
to the Island of Crete for treatment
similar to that proposed for the
Reed boy.
The indictment declares that Miss
Randle, for fee Of $500, offered to
cure young Mr.. Reed and that she
could slow down the action of his
brain and increase his height by at
least 2 inches, by giving him a diet
and mental treatments.
The indictment also recited that
Mrs. Reed paid $500 to Miss Randle,
but declared that the so-called "per-
sonality builder" was not an inter-
national authority as she had
claimed, nor was Rufus Reed weak
willed, nor inclined toward suicide,
nor mentally abnormal, nor had she
given the supposed treatment to the
heir of a tobacco fortune.
Mr.. Caldwell said a previous in
dictment against Miss Randle has
been nolle pressed and that the
grand jury handed up the new in
dictment yesterday to Justice James
M. Proctor in Criminal Court No. l.
A short time ago, Justice Bolitha
j. Laws threw out a previous in
dictment against Miss Randle, which
has been nolle pressed, on the
ground that the Government had
failed to allege that Miss Randle
had held herself out as an expert
in such matters.
