pearance at the trial of James
J. Hines, Tammany leader. will
be interrogated by Federal au
thorities investigating the associa.
tion between F. Donald Coster and
Dutch Schultz" Flegenheimer.
Flegenheimer, it was disclosed
by Federal officials, learned that
Coster, president of McKesson &
Robbins, was actually Philip
Musica, a notorious ex-convict
Swindler.
GOT ALCOHOL SUPPLY
He prevailed upon him to pro-
vide the Schultz gang with illegal
raw alcohol for bootlegging pur-
poses.
Davis was lawyer for the Schultz
gang and Hines is accused of be.
ing its political "fixer."
United States Attorney Gregory
F. Noonan was anxious to dis
cover if those who took over
Flegenheimer's racket empire
when he was given a one-way
gangster's ride paid Federal in

Coster-Flegenheimer business al

MADE FREQUENT TRIPS
Flegenheimer, it was recalled,
frequently made trips to Bridge
port, Conn.,, where Coster resided.
Federal agents disclosed both
were on intimate terms, Flegen-
heimer carrying out the actual
bootlegging and Coster directing
it under the shield of business re-
Spectability.
At Hines first trial it was testi-
fled the Tammany leader once

SCHOONER OUT
FOR SIX MONTHS
BROUGHT HERE
THREE ALIENS IMPROPERLY
REGISTERED: BOAT NEEDS
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:
SKIPPER ANGRY

Captain William Tompkins of
Portland, Oregon, and master of
the AZ foot auxiliary schooner,
"Sacramouche" which is berthed
alongside Coast Guard Vessel
1876 at the Naval Station is mad
as hornet this morning.
Stopping coast guard boat
near Tortugas to ask Tor few
loaves of bread, Captain Tomp-
kins said he was asked if he
wanted a tow into Key West,
which he readily assented to
since he had no charts of the
harbor Arriving here he was
told to berth at the Coast Guard
pier. 1t now appears that he
has little of the regulation equip
ment required on vessels of the
type he has, ant that four mem
bers of the crew picked up in
foreign ports of Central Amer
lea, were improperly registered
and are classed as aliens.
Tompkins claims. that he has
come, through a hurricane and a
cyclone in which most of his
equipment was blown away, in
Guiding a lifeboat, and that he
thought the foreign registry he
had for his crew was proper at
the time. Oliver Shelton of Eng
land; Ernest Nance of New Or
leans; Juan Pichis of Greece and
c. K. LeBaris of Greece were
picked up in Champanica,
Guatemala and in Christobal,
Canal Zone. Previously he has
manned the boat alone leaving
from Long Island, California.
The hurricane he passed
through was a rs mile an hour
one encountered off Mexico and
the cyclone struck in the Gulf of
Tehanntopec 500 miles at sea.
The trip thus far has taken six
months. From Key West Temp
kins will go to Miami to pick up
others of a crew and continue a
round the world cruise.
The Scaramouche finished
second in the Los Angeles to
Honolulu 2,225 mile race :, last
year in 29lz days just two, hours
behind the leading boat. ;.

NO WORD FROM
DUNCANS YET
SAID. HOWEVER. THEY WE'RE
20 MILES AWAY FROM
QUAKE DISASTER AREA,

No word has been received at
Key West relative to the where
abouts of B. NJ. Duncan, chief
engineer of the Overseas Road
and Toll Bridge Commission,
and Mrs. Duncan who were
known to be in Chile at the time
of the disastrous earthquake,
and reported to have booked
passage on the Steamer Santa
Clara, but did not sail on the
ship, according to advices re-
ceived by H. E. Day, auditor for
the commission.
However in Miami, yesterday,
Norman Armour, United States
Ambassador to Chile, said that
the Duncans were 20 miles or
more south of the area affected
by the earthquake, when the
terrible disaster came. Mr.. Ar
mour said he believed the Dun
cans were returning to Santiago
when he left for Washington.
He had some friends travelling
with Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan, and
believes there is no doubt of
their having escaped the devasta-
ton caused by the earthquake.
Mr.. Duncan was delegate to
the Pan American Highway
Congress, under appointment
from President Roosevelt, and
was expected to return with
Mrs. Duncan early this month.

STILL ON HUNT
FOR NEGRO BOY
BELIEVED TO HAVE STOLEN
MANY ARTICLES IN
THIS CITY

No sign of Albert Haverly, IA
year old negro boy who is want
ed by officers on several charges,
was seen last night by Deputy
Sheriff Ray Elwood, who spent
several hours in an effort to
round up this boy, who accord
ing to all reports, is an accom-
plished thief
Suspected of several bicycle
thefts, a sharp lookout has been
kept for him and last night
Deputy Elwood went to every
place suspected, but failed to
find him, but did recover tent
which had been stolen from Ray
Gates, and used by Haverly as a
hide out, and returned it to the
owner.
A bicycle which was found by
Richard Moreno and turned over
to the sheriff's office, is thought
to have been stolen by Haverly,
and was found in the tent. The
bicycle, blue and white Peerless,
has some of smaller parts
changed, but is in good condition
and can be had by the owner.
Chief Deputy Waite said that
it is believed that the markers
stolen from the graves of Red
Men some time ago, which were
later recovered in part, formed
part of the loot of Haverly,
and there has also developed
the belief that the boy is being
shielded by older folks who af-
ford him a haven to hide when the
officers are close on his trail.

At Least For Island City
In Connection With De-

tBY Washington Correspondent

urn C1TTHr~n@xf II - It z

(BY Washington Correspondent
of The Key West Citizen)
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 6.
AS representatives favoring es-
Enlistment of a naval airbase at
Miami completed their testimony
before The House Naval Affairs
Committee. il was learned here
today that the committee is dis
satisfied with The Hepburn re-
port. which recommended Jack
sorville as the prime site and in
tends ordering a new survey.
In such renewed investiga-
ton, proponents OF reopening the
Naval Station at Key West should
find considerable promise. if not
of likelihood of gaining a naval
recommendation in favor of Key
West az the main southeastern
base. at least promises of more
mature consideration of the south
Florida city.
The committee is said TO feel
Stffat the Hepburn repUrt, Which
supported Miami as the mos;
sti atcgic site for an airbaSe, but
urged Jacksonville as more easily
defended, Is not adequate in view
of testimony by various interests
in favor of other sites.
Georgia Makes Bid
Chairman Vinson, of Georgia,
would like to see the base located
in his state, and Brunswick has
made a good showing in briefs
filed with the committee, and
read into the record by Vinson.
Other military experts privately
are saying here that Il base 10
Gated within a natural harbor
further north on the Atlantic
coast would be preferable 10 one
on the comparatively unprOtcct-
ed Florida coast. They alarm
that there should also be an
Army base inland, possibly III
South Georgia, and these two
bases would be main cOnccntra-
ton points, with planes ready at
all times TO move quickly 10 Mi
ami, Key West or any other Flor
ida point where emergency facili-
ties would be maintained.
Has Key West In Mind
Meanwhile, Representative Pat
Cannon, without making known
his definite idea, today stated he
has something planned for Key
West in connection with the new
armament and defense program,
in event Key West is passed up
as an air base site.
He has given the committee
data in favor Of the southernmost
city of the United States, but no
Representatives of ths area have
appeared here, Cannon said. al
though he asked certain local of
ficiaIs to make the trip TO testi-
fy before the committee. Cannon
has been working day and night
with the Miami delegation which
has been here since last week.
However, in view of the com
mittee's attitude, it is felt that
any testimony now on the Hep
burn report will be without par
ticular force if the committee calls
on the Navy to make new
study of the southeast and recon-
mend other sites.
