Evidence Of Revolt
 Against Leadership
 Of J. Warren Upson
Alderman Kingston Believed Candidate for Position as Fire Board Chairman -Perriello for Mayor
 Theme Also Noted

Action of the Republican mem bers of the board of aldermen last night in seeking to revive the al- ready vetoed suspension resolutions against Mayor Frank Hayes and other city officials was interpreted today as revolt against Republi- can Town Chairman J. Warren Upson. MT. Upson had recommend ed that the board drop the old resolutions and proceed against the mayor and others under Section 35 of the city charter, which provides for public hearings before any re- moval from office.
 Key to the situation was Alder man George L. Kingston, Republi- can leader. It is reported reliably that MT. Kingston expects to be

LObar Pneumonia

One case of lobar pneumonia was reported in Waterbury last week, according to the weekly bull letin of the state department of health. This city had no cases of whooping cough, scarlet fever, or measles.
 The health record for the entire state was excellent. with decreases being reported ill virtually all types of diseases.

named chairman of the police or fire board or both in the event that Mayor Hayes should resign or be removed. The mayor would be suc- ceeded by Aldermanic President Patrick Perriello. Chairmanship of either or both boards would place MT. Kingston in strategic posi- tion for the dispensing of patronage.
 The eight Republican aldermen led by MT. Kingston, battled against the recommendation of the leader of their party organization. MT. Upson, in a letter to the aldermen, had requested that the board pro- ceed in the manner outlined in the city charter, giving a hearing to those whose removal was sought. Instead, the G. O. P. aldermen fought to have the city officers suspended under the resolution vetoed by the mayor a year ago anl then tabled.
 When this move failed, the Re- publican aldermen acceded to the Democrats demand that Hayes, Kelly and the others be given a hearing as called for by the char ter. The hearing was set down for Thursday night.
 The evident opposition displayed by the Republicans last night to MT. Upson's recommendation would most logically be for either of the following reasons: CD That the G. O. P. board members want MT. Perriello to not only succeed the mayor temporarily but run for mayor this fall; (2) That MT. Kingston is a more powerful leader than generally understood.
 MT. Perriello, if he becomes mayor, could reward his Republi- can aldermanic associates by giving them city positions.

Because of the unexpected eco

thousands of Floridians found
themselves suddenly without
work and hurried to district in
take offices, where their applica-
tons for referral to the WPA
were filed In unprecedented
numbers.
To meet the emergency and to
carry on its other programs, the
State Welfare Board increased
its staff and appealed to the WPA
for assistance. This was granted
to the extent that some SO WPA

In 1868 the Sisters of the Holy
Names of Jesus and Mary, a
Canadian organization, came to
Key West and opened a boarding
school for girls. In 1879 they
erected the main part. sof this
convent, quarried of native coral
rock, with part of the convent of

its cupola museum are historic
relics of the battleship Maine,

and sailors the sisters tended. A
wonderful collection of tropical
shells and shellfish, insects and
