SALT WATER
BOATS MUST
PAY LICENSE
FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
HOLDS LAW VALID; OWN
Frs A D OPERATORS
WARNED TO TAKE NOTICE
Especial To The Cfffxenl

TALLAHASSEE, Aug. l3.-R.
L. Bowling, Florida's supervisor
OF conservation, said today the
Florida supreme court has lust
held as valid the law which re-
qulres that all boats that ply in
or operate in the salt waters of
the state that have anything
whatever to do with fishing must
pay an annual license to the con-
Servation department before be-
ginning operations.
Since 1915 there has been a
law compelling all commercial
fishing boats to pay such an an
nual fishing license.
The 1887 legislature. in its wis
dom, Bowling said, passed an adj
ditional or supplementary act re-
quiring all other fishing boats
that ply in the salt waters of the
state to pay an annual license
tax.
This 1887 supplementary act
has been twice attacked, first by
a party boat operator in Panama
City, who contended that no an
nual license was required and
that the tax must be paid only
once on each boat. The Florida
supreme court set this contention
aside and held that the tax must
be paid annually.
The second attack came from
Miami, where a pleasure boat
operator contended the license
law did not apply to boats oper-
ated by pleasure fishermen who
fished only with hook and line or
rod and reel The supreme court
now hands down a decision
which uphOlds this law as apply
ing to all boats that ply in or
operate in the salt waters of the
state that have anything to do
with fishing.
Boat owners and operators
should take notice" Bowling said,
that this law does require that a
license be procured before fish
ing operations of any kind are be-
gun"
The penalty for failure to pro-
cure a license and pay the annual
tax is a fine of $500, a Jail SEN
tence of six months, or both.
please cooperate, pay the
small tax, and save embarraSs-
ment to all concerned" Bowling
said, ''as the department needs
the revenue"

Blight CUT
NARROWED
DANGER TO BOATS PASSING
/, THROUGH MAY CAUSE
CITY SUIT

Conclusion of the work recent
ly started on the Garrison Blight
project has brought TO the atten-
ton of residents of that section
a serious condition that may
mean trouble for the city in the
future.
The work started called for
widening of the entrance from
the bay into the blight. Drag
lines had succeeded in leveling
off considerable of the embank
mentS on one side of the cut
but, in so doing, had broken
loose much of the steel and con-
crete retaining works. The lat
ter extends into the narrow in
let, so much so that small craft,
IN negotiating the passageway,
endanger themselves.
This property was decided to
the City of Key West for two
years period by Trumbo Proper
ties, Inc. Therefor, unless some
thing is done about the obstruc-
ton in the narrow inlet, the CITY

they were doing and would not

not in a military formation, salute

them by standing at attention .
The hand salute, however, the
commanding officer said, is not
required at those times.
The colonel commended one
phase of the argument against
when he stated that there is
some merit in the contention of
those who say they attend the
theater for pleasure only.
. Col. Pendleton advanced a So
luton to the question that would
probably be satisfactory to both
sides. Said the commanding of
lficer: Il might venture to sug-
lgest that, in place of the Ma
itiOnal Anthem, which is too
sacred to those of us who love it
to risk the proclamation by the
Ignorant or unthinking, that the
theaterS substitute a Stanza of
either America (Which l recall
was sung as the closing anthem
at West Point cadet chapel dur
ing the four years of my stay
there) or the newer song, God
Bless America. l feel that the
reaction of the individuals in the
audience to either of these songs
may be left to their personal
taste, and that any element of
compulSion, such as might be felt
to exist under the playing of
The Star Spangled Banner
would then be absent.
AT a meeting of the Stone
Church Service Club last week
the question came up for dis
cusSion. Members brought out
that many of the audience failed
to stand at attention while the
anthem was being played and the
flag displayed. The result was
that the club as a whole voted in
favor of the idea and requested
the public to display more patriot
ism than noted in the past.

NAVAL STATION
WORKERS HEAR
ABOUT FAMILIES
CAPTAIN JACOBS WIRE S
CHARLESTON REQUESTING
INFORMATION OF HOMES
IN STORM

Captain w. j. Jacobs, COM
mandant of the Key West Naval
Station, yesterday sent a wire to
the Charleston Naval Station re-
questing that information be sent
here in regard to the families of
men, who have been transferred
to this station, now residing in
that city.
The answer came this morning
by wireless and it acted to reas-
sure the workers here that their
families were all alive, albeit
somewhat discomfitted by the
damage created by the storm,
which has now abated.
Captain Jacobs message was as
follows:
General information request
ed as to the safety of families
living in Charleston belonging to
employees transferred from Navy
Yard, Charleston, to Naval Sta
ton, Key West.
The commandant of the Sew
enth Naval District answered to
the effect that the storm blew
down trees, telephone wires and
created some damage to dwell
ings, but that there was no loss
of life nor injuries known.
Much concern was felt here on
the part of a number of Naval
Station workmen and navy per-
sonnet in that first reports on the
storm which hit Charleston Sun
day afternoon told of severe
damage to property. Additional
concern was felt when it was
learned that all communication
lines were down.
Associated Press dispatches
this morning brought more &C
curate information about the
storm, which is reported to have
been the worst that struck the
area affected in several years.
There were some deaths report
ed. mostly in isolated areas on
islands off the coast of South
Carolina.
Following the end of the storm
yesterday afternoon, relief agen-
cies busted themselves along the
whole coastline from Savannah
to Charleston.

Miami {. Of {. Answers
Charge Of Misinformation

1T is unthinkable that we of
this organization would inten-

Key West or any of the people
in your city.
Thus wrote John L. Morris,
general manager of the Miami
Chamber of Commerce in answer
to an inquiry sent forward by the
Chamber of Commerce here re-
garding reported misinformation
given members of Lions clubs
nationwide who inquired at a
special booth outside Miami
about accommodates in Key
West.
The subject came up when
members of the Lions club in this
city heard stories of the usual
/ brand of misleading information
given out at that booth by alleged
representatives of the Miami
Chamber. The Citizen editorial
lied on that subject recently
this article and the letter of in
qulry were forwarded to MIR.
Morris for an explanation. The
answer came last weekend. and

tirety as received by the Cham

WITHTWO PLANS

UNION; WANT TO SELL OLD

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. =
Two propositions for giving aid
to Britain came up for discussion
on the floor of the Senate here
this morning, but no action was
voted on either.
First was the pending arrange
ment to bring Canada into the
scope of the Pan-American union
of nations to receive all benefits
of the nations action against to-
talitarian states.
Second had to do with selling
averaged naval vessels of the
United States Navy to England.
Senator Pepper of Florida was
foremost proponent of this pro-
posal He seeks to put all de-
stroyers of pre-World War vintage
at the disposal of the British.

CIVILIAN PATRIOTISM LEFT TO own
ION Brought About BY Film. At Local Theater
CONSCIENCE, SAYS COL. PENDLETON
BY WILLIAM RUSSELL

A great deal of discussion, pro
and con, has been entered into
since the Palace Theater began
the practice of running a film
with words and music of the
Star Spangled Banner and dis
play of a waving American Flag
IN technicolor during the latter
part of the showing. The film is
one of many ideas that crop I'D
during national conditions similar
to those at present and is in an
effort to awaken patriotism in
the hearts of the American peo-
pie.
The discussion is conferred
around the coming to attention
and saluting the flag while the
film is being flashed on the
screen. There are many who be-
lleve 1t is disreSpect to the Am
erican Flag and the national
anthem to stand and give the
salute while under cover. In this
group also are those who declare
they attend the theater for
pleasure only. On the other
hand, the opposing side declared
the act is display of patriotism.
And so the arguments run-alI
|over the city.
In an effort to ascertain the
proper conduct in such instances,
we contacted Col L. L. Pendle-
ton, commanding officer of the
18th Coast Artillery, with head
quarters in the Army Barracks,
and explained the situation to
him.
Col. Pendleton admitted the is
sue is very controversial one,
and in attempting to clarity the
question he advised that Il am
speaking for myself, alone, and
my views do not in any way rep
resent those of the War Depart
ment, which has not, so far as 1
have been able to learn, issued
any definite ruling concerning all
phases of the matter.
The Department does not, Col.
Pendleton declared, presume to
issue any regulations for the con-
