A noted arrival among the small

was the 90 foot fishing boat Caesar
returning from short run.
The venerable little boat has a

PoIsoN-MuRDERs FOR PROFIT

That more than one hundred persons
have been killed in Philadelphia by a
poison-murder insurance ring, is the
opinion expressed by Judge Harry S. Nc
Dewitt, who recently presided at the trial
of Herman Petrillo, who was found guilty
of murder i'm the first degree.
While detectives continue their in
vestigation of the ramifications of what
the Judge pronounced the "most hideous
series of crimes ever committed in the
City of Brotherly Love, the report is made
that the ring was active in more than one
State.
Here, it seems, we have an amazing
manifestation of human callousness in re-
CARDS to human life. By carrying insur-
ance on their victims, the ring is supposed
to have profited from the use of arsenic
to remove those carrying insurance.
It is hard to realize that there are
men and women who are perfectly willing
to poison other men and women in order
to cash in on their insurance policies.
While we find it hard to imagine the pro-
cess that moves the mind of these fiends,
we know that they exist.

KEY WEST BOOKLETS NEEDED

The United States has approximately
three-quarters of all the automobiles of
the world. Motorists of this country like
to go places in their cars. They are travel
conscious, the most travelled race of peo-
pie in the world. Every year they take to
the road, and ordinarily they like to go to
the end of the road they travel. Key West
is at the end of Federal Highway Route
No. 1; so this city is magnet for myriads
of motorists.
When motorist gets ready to go
places he begins studying road maps and
other literature outlining the highlights of
the points he wants to visit. The Key
West Chamber of Commerce has been
printing and shipping thousands of book
lets to all parts of the world in response to
actual requests for such informative mat
ter. The Chamber, unfortunately, has
been limited in this activity, an activity
that reacts to the general good of the en-
tire community, through a shortage of
funds. Within the last week two requests
for tens of thousands of copies have been
received by the Chamber.
Unable to meet this demand, the
Chamber appealed to the Monroe County
Commission and Wednesday night that
body appropriated $3.50 for booklets. The
Chamber thus is able to order another sup
ply of 10000 copies of the Key West book
lets. While this is substantial number, the
supply will soon be gone, for the demand
for such literature is growing every
month.
AS soon as the public purse permits,
the city and county should make regular.
annual appropriations, along the lines fol-
lowed by Miami and other resort COM
munities, for the printing of municipal ad-
vertising matter of the kind now being dis
tributed by the Chamber of Commerce.

Key West once the cigar manufacturing CAPT.
tai of the country, is going to recapture some of
its business it is indicated by story in The
Key West Citizen, which outlines the incorpora-
ton of the Key west-Havana Cigar Company.
Just formed under the laws of Florida.
Key West has existed by the Grace of God
ann the WPA for several years now. 1t is
quaint place, and with its highway, making
motor travel from the mainland pleasant and
safe, it bids fair to be one of the most popular
tourist places in the state. Plenty of govern
mental money still is being spent there. The
Kew West Citizen reports IA men to work on
the rehabilitation of the Army Barracks there at
a cost of $4,000.
Considerable money has been spent on the
sewer project Some 20 miles of pipe line have
been laid. The original project contemplated 80
miles of pipeline. There are about so miles of
streets in Key West, with about 20 miles in
habited There are at present AZ workmen en-
ployed on the project There is an order for
closing down of the project April Is unless spon-
sorship funds are made available.
A good tourist season, the revival of the cigar
industry, and other cheering symptoms may
make it possible for Key West to snap out of the
doldrums. and relinquish its position as ward of
Uncle Sam, which it has held for several years
past. with the government spending many mill
lions

Changes Small But
 Gains Over Losses
BulsI1 Sentiment Seen By Brokers Commodities
 Remain SOft-Wheat Off FractiOnally

New York, July 15.-(UP)-Stocks pushed irregularly higher in quiet dealings today. Changes through out the list were small but gains out-numbered losses.
 Operators showed no disposition to abandon their policy of weekend caution in view of the delicate in- ternational situation. Sentiment, however, appeared friendly toward the market and brokers said that bulls far outnumbered the bears, 8 sharp reversal of the situation pre- vailing a couple of weeks ago.
 Bonds were little changed in dull trade. Foreign liens were irregular, with Japanese and Polish issues lower.
 Commodities continued soft. Wheat dropped fractionally and corn and oats dipped to new lows for the sea- son. Cotton futures had reclines ranging to more than 25 cents bale.
 News was favorable. The feature was the prospect that steel opera tions will jump sharply next week. There were several good second quarter earnings reports. Interest in the Washington scene was focused on the possibility that the present session of congress may be prolonged because of President Roosevelt's ir1- sistence on neutrality legislation.
