CONGRESS MAY
Limit POWER
SENATORS DON'T LIKE IDEA
OF EXTENDING MORE
POWER TO EXECUTIVE
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The
Administration is in for a bitter
struggle in its fight to obtain
broader powers in case of emer-
gency as Congress prepared to
contest the move to obtain con-
troll over all shipping and indus
try by the chief executive.
Senators William Borah and
Sherman Minton described the
move as highly startling" and
indicated that they would fight
the move strongly.
The Navy Department an
nounced today that they had pre-
pared plans for two per-battle-
ships to weigh $4,000 tons. Status
of plans is that immediate con-
struction could begin, thus get
ting the jump on any other power
that might feel the necessity of
competing in construction of
such outstanding dreadnaughts.
The navy is also experimenting
with metal-clad dirigibles, it was
stated today.

TERTAINMENT

Under leadership of Key West
Rotary Club the civic organiza-
tons of the city are to be en-
listed in plan to supply naval
personnel in this area with ade-
quate ana wholesome recrea-
tional facilities and activities.
This plan was revealed yester-
day at meeting of the Rotary
Club, marked by the presence OF
Commander L. K. SWenson, cap
tain of the destroyer Twiggs
senior officer afloat here in the
absence of Capt. Arthur S. Car
pender, and Lieut.. Comdr. D. B.

President William v. Little ap-

Doughty, Jr., a committee to CO.
operate with Commander Quinn
and the naval forces in working
out the recreational program.
Committee Chairman Taylor
said that his group already had
started work. On suggestion of
Councilman L. c. Brinton, Chair
man Taylor said the committee
had been informed that Capt.
Carpenter was anxious to pro-
vide the men under him with
every facility for enjoying their

Key West was conveyed to Unit
ed States immigration officials
and Sheriff Thompson's office.
Accordingly, Deputy Sheriff Ray
Elwood and Deputy u. S. Marshal
George Gomez met the Cuba
when she arrived here from Ha-
vana yesterday.
None of the three men offered
any resistance when they were
placed under arrest by Elwood
and Gomez. The FBI asked that
they be held in county Jail pend
ing further investigation of their
activities. 1t is probable an FBI
operative will be here to ques-
ton the men before they are held
much longer.
Some time ago the McHughs

authorities at Miami, but were
subsequently released. Later
they went to Cuba, but were re-
garded by Havana authorities as
iundesirables.

too late for everyone to be in

'COUNCILMEN TO
TAKE SALARIES;

MAY DONATE SALARIES TO
CHARITY: CLERK TO BE
COMMISSIONED AS NO
TARY PUBLIC

City councilmen last night
again discussed the subject of
their salaries.
Councilman Sweeting brought
the matter to the floor by re-
minding the council that the pre-
viouS arrangement, whereby
|councilmen deferred collection of
their salaries, was only creating
a debt to pay at some future
time.
Councilmen Boyden and Ram
sey brought out, however, that
the purpose of the original reso-
luton was to pay back debts and
salaries before collecting money
on current salary accounts. Coun-
Gilman Ramsey, for one. declared
that he was mot a dollar a year
man.. It developed that three
councilmen accepted their sal
aries and four passed.
On motion by Councilman
Sweeting the council will collect
salaries in the future and make
whatever disposition of the money
collected as they see fit.
Payroll Voted
AS to payroll for city en-
ployes. the council took action
last night by voting payment of
half-month's salary on January

Recognition of inability to
make the payments, if funds were
not available, was brought into
the discussion and motion, how
ever.

December Highway Tolls
Double November Total:
Predict Traffic Increase
OFFICIALS LOOK FOR
MONTHLY INCREASE
IN BUSINESS OVER
YEAR AGO FIGURES

Tolls on Overseas highway
during December took a ire
mendous jump and more than
doubled the record of November.
according TO a report released to-
day by Edward Neff. manager OF
the road district.
While the receipts for Novem-
Der amounted to only $10,664,
the income for December totaled
81, 230 The December, 1889 to-
tai exceeded the amounted col
lected during December, 1888 by
about $ll00.
Last month a total of 1882
motor vehicles of all kinds came
through the tollgateS at Lower
Matecumbe and Big Pine Key.
This was an increase more than
1900 above the number that
travelled the highway in Deem
Der, 1888.
Biggest increase last month
was in the number of drivers and
passengers. In December these
totaled 38,927, while only 32,427
came through the tollgates dur
ing the corresponding month of
1888. 1t is evident that users of
the highway are doubling up.
Whereas many cars formerly
came through the tollgates with
one or two passengers, the ma
jOrity now carry capacity loads.
Tolls collected during the sum-
mer months of 1899 reflected a
great falling off in traffic as
compared with the summer
months of 1898. However, bridge
officials now point out that the
income of the highway is begin
ming month by month to exceed
the monthly totals recorded dur
ing the tourist season a year ago
This seems to be in accord
with estimates some time ago
submitted by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to Overseas
Road and Toll Bridge District
- Commissioners. Officials of RFC
had declared there was no cause
for alarm over the falling off in
revenue last summer, for there
would be a heavy increase in
public use of the highway be-
ginning this season.

Young Widow Leaves
With Body. Of Naval
Ensign N. Y. LuSSie|
CAUSE FOR SUICIDE; DEATH REVEALED
SECRET MARRIAGE

Accompanied by the widow and
a naval officer, the body of En-

%, u. S. N. R., who died of a
inflicted bullet wound yes
terday, left today via Overseas
highway on the way to Woon-
socket, r. l., for burial in the
family cemetery plot.
The secret marriage of Ensign
LuSsier was revealed following
the death of the young aviation
officer at Marine hospital after
he had fired a shot into his fore
head while seated in his auto
mobile outside the bachelors
quarters at the naval station.
Under naval regulations, young
officers are prohibited from
marrying until after they shall
have been two years in the serv-
ice. Ensign Lussier had been in
the service less than two years
at the time of his death.
Whether his act in firing a AS
caliber shot from a service pistol
into his brain was due to de-
spondency caused by discovery
of his marriage secret will never
be known to the public Naval
officers are mute when ques-
toned about that. They have let
it become known that Ensign
Lussier killed himself during a
