KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files Of The Citizen

Further tests of the Submarine
S64 this morning prove ,conclu-
sively that man can escape from
a submerged submarine, at any
depth, and the 40 men on the S-4
when the vessel was rammed and
sunk were not sacrificed in vain.
The tests. today followed almost
the same procedure as was car
ried out yesterday except they
were made in rs feet instead of
the 40 feet of yesterday. The re-
suits were even more satisfactory
than the previous test. Only eight
minutes had elapsed from the
time the sub dived until Kohl
nowski broke the surface and
was quickly followed by Lieuten-
ant Momsen, and both were i'm
mediately lifted from the Mallard
into a waiting surf boat. Further
tests will be made this afternoon,
the commander said, and this
time at depth of ITO feet. 1t is
agreed by the officers that these
results will be satisfactory.
II was advised by my physi-
clan to come to Florida for my
health, and not to stop anywhere
else, said Mrs. Minahan, wife of
Hugh Minahan, deputy attorney
general of. Wisconsin, who has
arrived with her little son to re-
cuperate in this matchless CHM
ate, rejuvenating atmosphere and
health-restoring sunshine. So she
is here as are many others and
she has the confidence, after be-
ing here but a short time, that
her physician made no mistake
in sending her to Key West.
Tug Warbler, Captain Dexter,
this afternoon received a call to
proceed to the asstance of the
Steamship Glendola reported
ashore in the waters near Banes,
Cuba. The Glendola is operated
oy the Atlantic Fruit and Sugar
Company. The Warbler had just
returned to port yesterday after
noon from Bahaman waters
where she succeeded in floating
another vessel.
Key West will be literally rep
resented in. the 12,0OO-word Flor
ida story to be issued by the Ma
tional Geographic magazine of
December. The magazine is one
of the most important and high
est class publications in the coun-
try, says Frederick Simpich, of
the editorial staff, who is in Key
West today assembling data for
the story.
Editorial comment: Key West
is decidedly the most logical loca-
ton for a free port and the ideal
gateway to the American mar
kets. 1t can and will be made
one, if the proper and persistent
efforts are made, with all local
people cooperating.

Ex-TREASURER
TALKS TO JURY

OLYMPIA. r. Johnston, for
mer rhurston county treasurer,
testified Thursday before the
county grand jury. which Is be-
lieved investigating the asserted
81 800 shortage of accounts Of his
office.
f. r. Davenport, outside tax col
lector for the office. was another
witness called by the jury. The
alleged shortage was discovered by
examiners for State Auditor Cliff
Yelle shortly after Johnston went
out of office.

U. S. COLLECTOR
LOSES IN court

In a suit expected to have inn
portant bearing on other tax as
sessments. Federal Judge Leon
Yankwich Thursday ruled against
Thor w. Hendricksen, acting col
lector Of internal revenue.
The court filed an opinion in
favor of the Con-Rod Exchange,
Inc, which sued to recover $254s0
paid as a further assessment on
the sale of automobile connecting
rods which were rebabbited and
sold by the plaintiff. The revenue
department had rejected claim
for refund of the amount.
The government claimed the tax
was properly collected, declaring
the process of rebabbiting is one
of manufacture. Judge Yankwich
held that the plaintiff was not
manufacturing or producing when
1t rebabbited rods brought in by
others and returned the identical
rod, or when it exchanged a re-
built rod for an old one. The court
held the plaintiff proved the tax
was not passed on to the con-
sumner, and that since it is an excise
and not sales tax, it can be i'm
posed on a sale only if the seller
Is producer or manufacturer.

couple. thought to have persisted
in the wreck of small boat.
According to police, furniture
and personal effects scattered
along the shores of the barren
island belonged to Raymond Lewis
Tarr. Sierre Madre. Calf, VINO
was believed to have left Califor-
mia several months ago with his
bride to settle in British Columia.
The letters and furniture were
discovered by Constable James NC
Geachen while patroling the islands
at the mouth of Howe sound IN
an attempt to verify reports that
a sunken fish boat had been seen
in the area.
McGeachen said one box, found
under water off-shore, had been
addressed to Tarr at his Sierre
Madre home. Papers contained in
the effects on the shore indicated
Tarr had married Miss Scott, OF
Sierre Madre, in 1895 after a COLI
lege romance.
The furniture looked as If II
had been thrown overheard by
persons attempting to tighten a

that Tacoma has become a city
with a destiny destiny which
has been partly fulfilled during
recent weeks here on Pacific ave.
It is a pleasant reflection to

Much Qualification
"They have done their work
WELL" Bergersen said. THE i'm
provement had its beginning with
the Downtown association, who
first decided what they wanted
and then pulled together to get it
accomplished. 1t was a source OF
much qualification to the city of
ficials that they decided upon
first class job. This shows better
than anything else how big things
can be accomplished in Tacoma
when everybody pulls together for
the benefit of the whole city,

complished by the organization
during its relatively brief existence,

NEWSPAPER GUILD WINS LAKE
MICHIGAN NAVAL BATTLE

CHICAGO. - (FP) -A miniature
naval battle occurred in Lake Michi-
gan when an American Newspaper
Guild (CIO) boat advertising the
strike against the Chicago Hearst
papers was attacked by an unregis-
tered 36-foot cruiser.
The attack on the union vessel
occurred just off the Belmont Yacht
Club after the cruisers captain had
threatened the strikers through a
big megaphone. The union boats
picket signs were damaged but the
boat itself remained intact. It was
manned by a member of the Natl.

deaths.
Much valuable information was
obtained as to the workings of the
Welfare Department and will be
available as soon as the transcript
of the testimony is made. The gen.
eral alibi of the county department,
that the case workers and County
Welfare Board were bound by maxi
mum amounts fixed by the state de-
partment, has been exploded. DR..
Potter said that these amounts were
furnished the local agencies merely
as an indication of the amount to be
awarded. He testified that the state
board expressly instructed relief
agencies that they we're to be guided
by the circumstances in each par
ticular case in fixing the amount
of need. However, the state board
has reduced the allowance actually
made, by from one-third to one-half
of the amount of need, as deter
mined by the county board.
The whole situation sums up to
this: That there is not enough APP
propriated to meet admitted need;
and that both county and state Off
Gals declare that the amounts
allowed are not sufficient to provide
any shelter or more than one-third
to one-half of the food necessary to
maintain life. The Supreme Court
has decided that a special session of
the Legislature is the only method
by which a further appropriation
can be obtained. All efforts should
therefore be directed towards de-
handing a special session of the
Legislature.
The secretary of the Montana We'll
fare Council has replies from more
than 100 of the members of the
House and Senate to the effect that,
if a special session is called, they
will vote for an adequate a%ppropri-
alton for the care of the needy desti-
tute aged, dependent children and
unemployed. Many of the members
of both House and Senate have
agreed that they will turn I'VE to
the relief funds of the state the
allowances made to them for attend
ance at the special session.

HAPPENINGS OF The
LOCAL LABOR COUNCIL

The Silver Bow Relief Committee
has made plans to interview the
merchants of Silver Bow county to
have them help in carrying On the
work of acquiring additional funds
from the state of Montana to pro-
vide adequate relief. It is felt that
the merchants are deeply concerned
not only from a humanitarian point
of view but because paucity of re-
lief allowances depresses sales. The
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
ell donated SIS. A committee con-
sisting of Glenn Myers Of the Plumb
ers, J. Harrington of the Black
smiths and Steve Harvey of the
Miners appeared before the dele
gates and explained that it may be
possible to get action through the
Supreme Court. One of the pur-
poses of the meeting at Helena on
September 8 is to get enough in
formation to bring the matter again
in Montana's highest tribunal.
Lou McLeneghan, delegate from
the Miners Union, was again back in
his old seat on the west side Of the
hall. He was the recipient of many
a hand shake and expression of
pleasure. He has been away from
the Council for a couple of months.

tween the WPA scale and the pre-
vailing wages on types of work en-
ploying skilled crafts. It was mem
toned that it may be necessary for
the city and the county to float a
