MURPHY ACT
PROCEEDINGS
END JUNE 10
ATTORNEY GENERAL SENDS
LETTER TO COMPTROLLER
EXPLAINING PROVISIONS
OF EXISTING Law

Attorney General George Cou-
per Gibbs in a letter to Comp
troller J. M. Lee, copy of which
has been sent to Clerk Ross C..
Sawyer, explains the provisions
of the Murphy Act and advises
that all procedure under the act
must be completed by the expira-
ton date of the act, which is
June 10.
The act reads: after the ex-
piration of two years from date
this act shall become a law, no
court in this state, either Federal
or State, snail have jurisdiction
90 entertain any suit brought by
the owner. of said land or anyone
Claiming by through i or under
shim for the purpose of question
ing, or in any way .contesting the
title. of the State of Florida or
the grantee to said land.
/ Further along the following
rule is found governing this ques-
ton: "As the general rule the
repeal of a statute without any
reservation takes away all rene
dies given by the repealed statute
and defeats all actions and pro-
ceedings pending under it at the
time of its repeal. $
Another citation is to the effect
that THE rule. is that under
statutes comforting privileges on
private individuals for a certain
period of time, the privilege can
not be exercised after the time
allowed.
In conclusion the attorney gen.
eral writes that it is his opinion
that if anything remains to be
done in order to effectuate a pur-
chase of tax certificates under
this act after the expiration on
June TO- 1889, that a sale cannot
be perfected regardless of wheth-
er or not application was made
before the date of the expiration
of the act.
In a communication received by
Mr.. Sawyer from Mr.. Lee is ex-
planned that the explanation sent
by the attorney general means
that mot only must the applica-
ton for sale of tax certificates be
filed with you in time for the
sale to be held before June 10,
1889, but the sale itself must be
held before that time.
In explaining to The Citizen
the ruling of the attorney gen.
eral, Clerk Sawyer said that all
applications must be filed before
May IS because the publisher re-
quires all applications be deliv-
cred five days before the first
publication date.
Therefore" Mr.. Sawyer said,
"the last Murphy application will
have to be filed May 10 in order
to be published May IS, June !
and June 8, and the sale will
thus be completed on June 9,
1885,"

In addition TO letters and tele-
grams. which have been sent 10

in connection with the hearing

tive TO the establishment of a

VIM. r. Porter. a comprehensive
and explanatory letter setting
forth the advantages of Key West
in the most complete detail.
In his letter. which was cent
last Saturday. Mr.. Porter Giles the
fact that during the world war a

ing out of the Gulf of Mexico pass
directly by our doors, and we are
3fficiently near the Yucatan
Channel to effectively command
the approaches from that dlrec-
ton with a fast cruiser, destroy
er and air patrol.
Attention is called to the fact
that as a base for naval opera
tons, Key West would be OF IN
calculable value. Its value was
shown during the world war when
every branch OF the government
forces was represented here. 1t
is shown that Key West is one
of the few ports in the country
where the interest of the army
and navy are SO closely allied,
where one is SO necessary to the
other, where the latter, IN its
operations from here as d base,
will require the protection OF the
former, hence the necessity OF
adequate fortification here for
this purpose.
Mr.. Porter also points out that
Key West is the logical location
for an airplane base, its value OF
operation in the vicinity. from
which the enemy is likely TO APP
preach so that "our air forces can

the enemy's approach.
And, continuing further, Mr..
Porter points out that it is only

the Yucatan Channel that an enc

ANYTHING MIGHT HAPPEN

Royal visits present something OF
a diplomatic problem in any event.
1t is like risking everything on one
throw of the dice. If all goes well,
international friendship and good
will will improve. If incidents arise
to embarrass one side or the other
everything is lost and it takes years
of diligent diplomacy to smooth the
ruffles.
To date this country has had fair
success in its department toward
foreign figures. Before U. S. entry
into the World War, when there
was a vast amount of pro-German
sentiment in this country, several
British and French leaders, visited
this country, spoke before Con-
gress and made other efforts to
build up American support for
their side. Congress and the gen.
eral public behaved like debu-

BOB REYNOLDS WILL BE
GOOD BOY FOR ROYALTY
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June Z. - The
name of Robert Rice Reynolds,
Senator from North Carolina, is
buffeted about Washingtons care
full corridors when diplomats specu-
late on who of our public men
might make a mess of the Royal
visit.
He is not a major trouble, but
worried diplomats (aren't they al
ways Worried?) do not look for
ward with joy to the possibility that
Senator Reynolds might choose the
Kings visit as time to broadcast
anew against Mother. England.
Rampant Robert has been some
thing of an ear-Sore to those states
men who would like to see relations
between England and the United
States frightened instead of tar
nished. He speaks loudly and Bit
terly against pulling England's
chestnuts out of the fire" And if he
should do so again just as the King
WdS oCltlllS lOOU VII VIC ldLu hO
Union Station, adding trifle about
paying something on the war debts,
Yankee diplomats would not be
made happier.
Only recently Reynolds said in a
speech in New York:
Il swear that shall never cast a
vote in that Congress to send the
son of an American mother across
the turbulent waters of the Attain
tic to save again an ungrateful peo
pie for the so-called democracy of
Europe"
That sort of thing, while no end
patriotic, is not considered by the
diplomats as exactly the right
thing to say while the King is lay
ing a wreath on the tomb of the
unknown soldier They reasSure
themselves with the recollection
that after all Reynolds is gentle
man of the South where hospitality
