DAVIES CONTINUES
LOCAL FIRE PROBE
LEAVES FOR MIAMI. WITH
CHIEF BAKER TO OBTAIN
INFORMATION

The office of Sheriff K. O.
Thompson is still conducting an
investigation into the fire which
occurred the night of January
2 destroying the home of H. O..
Pennick at the corner of Emma
and Southland streets.
Estimates of the loss by the
fire have ranged from $4,000 to
$4,000. The loss was covered by
two insurance policies, one for
$4,000 on the building and one
for $4,000 on the furniture.
Certain circumstances con-
nected with the fire created the
impression that it was of incen-
diary origin, and the conflagra-
ton Investigations have strength
ened the suspicion. The authori-
ties have tried in vain to locate
Mr.. Pennick.
With the arrival of Edward S.
Davies, special agent for the Ar
son Bureau of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters. the inves-
tigation was intensified.
In company with Fire Chief
Harry Baker, Mr.. Davies, in be-
half of the sheriff, left this morn
ing for Miami to gather some in
formation relative to the fire,
which he believes was awaiting
the authorities there.

LOST BOTH LEGS
Mrs. StewGrd Vic;ts Here
BUT ENJOYS LIFE

Residents of Key West were
interested to hear of two recent
arrivals in this city-visitors who
are staying at La Concha Hotel
They are MIR. and Mrs. James
Steward, of Teaneck, N. j., who
are on a honeymoon visit to the
Island City.
But that isn't the big story!
Mrs. Steward is recalled as the
young lady who suffered the loss
of both legs in a subway accident
back in 1887. That is the story,
coupled with the intense interest
she takes in all sports, music and
literature despite the loss of her
lower limbs. !
While here, the Stewards are
spending most of their time fish
ing, and, as many have stated, it
was wonderful to see the apparent
love of life manifested in every
thing Mrs. Steward attempted.
1t was conceded that others
with less optimistic viewpoints
and who might here met with
half the ''bad luck" as Mrs. Stew
ard, would have given them
selves UP to life of dependency.
Not SO Mrs. Steward. She
smilingly goes about enjoying
herself to the fullest and exhibits
real interest in her surroundings
wherever she is or whatever she
is doing.

YACHT RACE

NOW PLANNED
YACHT CLUB REvERSES DE-
CISION MADE EARLIER;
BOATS TO LEAVE HAVANA
FOR KEY WEST MARCH is

The 1910 Havana-Key West
Yacht Race is on!
The Key West Yacht Club has
received word from the ST.
Petersburg Yacht Club that they
have already sent out literature
announcing the event-to follow
the annual ST. Petersburg-Ha-
vana race in March-to every
sailing yacht owner in the United
States.
This information has caused
the Key West Yacht Club to re-
verse its previous decision not to
have the race this year, and the
club is now exerting every eff
fort to put the event across. The
yachts will leave ST. Petersburg
for Havana on Saturday, March
9th, and will hoist sail for Key
west on the 1olIoWlng FrlQdy,
March 18th.
This action of the ST. Peters
burg and Key West clubs means
national recognition of Key West
as a potential yachting center.
The nationwide publicity it will
receive is considered of great
value to this community, and
harmonizes with the present eff
fort to develop Key West as a
primary tourist resort. 1t is a
tribute to the Key West clubs
successful handling of last years
Havana-Key West race. A COM
mittee headed by Albert Peirce
and Horace Connable is making
all arrangements.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-Sec-
retarY of the Navy Edison today
outlined a definite program for
naval defense of the country
which he requested that Con-
sress pass in present session.
The announcement was made
in face of threatened Congress
sional action which would re-
duce the Administrations re-
quest for naval defense by at
least twenty-five per cent.
''The United States navy must
be built up to a position where it

possibility that may arise out of
the European wars.
Stating that a strong navy is
essential in the protection scheme
of this country, Edison pressed
for adoption of the navy program
which includes construction of
seventy-seven fighting ships of
first rank over a three-year
period.
