FALSE RUMORS
ABOUT CUBANS'
STAY in CITY
MEMBERS OF MILITARY BAND
AND LIONS CLUBS SHOWN
EVERY COURTESY BY Of
FIcIALs HERE

Attention of The Citizen has
been called to rumors that have
been circulated recently con-
corning the alleged lack of at
tention paid to the members of
the Cuban Military Band and
delegate members of Cuban Lions
clubs-both groups visitors in
this city last Saturday evening.
Investigation has proved def
initely that no basis of fact ex-
lists in the rumors as circulated.
Chief reason for the visit of
the Cubans was the strike con-
dition existing on the p. & o. S.
S. line which made it necessary
for the delegates and band mem
bers. both returning from the
Lions International Convention
in Pittsburgh, Pa, to seek other
means of returning to Cuba.
The band composed of some
eighty members, chartered buses
from Miami to come here to meet
a Cuban gunboat which was to
arrive early Saturday evening.
Delegates to the number of TWEEN
ty-eight, hearing that the gov
eminent of Cuba had ordered
the band to Miami, decided to
come along and take chances on
getting transportation on the
same boat.
The Cuban consulate here was
advised that the band would be
in town awaiting the boat, and
every attention was given them
by both Mr.. Rodriguez and Mr..
Perez. Contrary to reports, none
of the men, nor their wives, were
without any care that they might
have desired.
Baggage of both band members
and Lion delegates was imme-
diately taken to the dock to
await the boat. The delegates
preferred to be on hand when
the boat arrived in order to lose
no time in negotiating for trans
portation, which they knew would
involve some persuasion. And
such proved the case.
When the boat arrived at late
hour, although expected much
earlier, the captain refused first
TO allow the delegates to ride.
In the. meantime, Gonzalo
Bezanilla, member of the local
Lions club, had met some of the
delegates and had inquired whe-
Their anything could be done to
help. One of the visiting Lions,
Antonio Alfonso Rosello, noted
newspaper man of Cuba, was per-
sonally known to Lion BeZanilla,
who was assured that everything
was in order and that his and the
parties only desire was to OBJ
tain transportation. That desire,
as stated, was the reason why the
group stayed at the dock.
Lions Rosello and Bezanilla
telephoned Havana at about 3
o'clock Sunday morning and OBJ
tanned permission from the Chief
of the Navy for the delegates to
ride on the gunboat. Farewells
were extended at 4 o'clock and
the boat sailed shortly after
everybody happy.

PROMINENT DEMOCRATIC
LEADER PASSES AWAY AT
HIS HOME IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Repre-
sentative Sam D. cReynold S,
Democrat OF Tennessee, Chairman
OF tfe House Foreign Relations
Committee and leader in the Demo-
cratic Party circles. died at his
home. He had been i'll off and on
all of year. The immediate cause
of death is given as resulting from
an attack of the heart.
McReynolds had been in the Nav
al Hospital here for a month but
had been permitted to go to his
home recently.
The Tennessee Representative was
a close friend of Secretary of State
Cordell Hull. He was active in
promoting the Administration mat
tiers touching on all aspects of for
eign affairs.
Dry Law Prosecutor
There was a time early in the
public career of Samuel Davis Me-
Reynolds when he was afraid to
go to bed at night for fear that
someone, trying to get me, might
bring down the whole house on my
family"
That was while he was criminal
court judge at Chattanooga presid-
ing at trials of persons charged with
violating Tennessee's pro h ibition
laws.
Years later. after he had gone to
Washington as Representative from
the Third Tennessee District and
attained prominence as Chairman
of the Foreign Affairs Committee
Of the national house, friend said
of him that he never had any fun. "
The friend fastened to add, how
ever. that he always has been
happy. for the serious side of life
appeals to him."
Judge McReynolds had a reputa-
ton for ruling his court with a
stern hand and hundreds of men
who broke the dry laws were sent
to Tennessee prisons. During his 20
years on the bench the moonshin-
