Completing Plans On Fourth
Dist. WV Encampment Here
Will Be Held April 1920;
Kew West Post 2 Years
Old I'm May; Rapid
Growth

Final arrangements for the
Fourth District Encampment,
April 1920 were made at the
first regular, monthly meeting
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
and the Ladies Auxiliary, took
iplace April 4th in their club
rooms on End street and Flagler
avenue.
The working members of Post
1911 are pitching in to make
this convention an outstanding
success, not only for the gratifi-
cation of the Post, but to have
the visiting comrades leave here
with a good impression of Key
West and a desire to come back
again.
The Key West Post will be
two years old in May. The rapid
growth of it's membership is
noted with pride. It's a far cry
from the time this small group
of men who comprise the char
ter membership met in the rear
of Delmonico's through the cour-
tesy of Mr.. Boza, the owner OF
the restaurant
The house committee gave
endless hours of time to pro-
mote the spacious building the
Veterans are occupying now at
the former Santaella Building on
Flagler avenue.
Ladies Auxiliary has made
remarkable progress and has
rendered considerable aid to the
Veterans. One outstanding fea-
ture is spreading cheer to hos
pitalized Servicemen in the
local Naval hospital. Under the
Craftsmanship of Mrs. E. F.

Is dozen cookies and made D
dozen squares of candy which is
distributed among the men in

ARRANGEMENTS ON
BEACH CLUE PRIVACY

Bona fide members of the
Civilian Beach Club at the
south end of Simonton street are
expressing distinct displeasure
in regards to the influx of non
members who insist on frequent
ing the club. The practice of I'm
authorized persons slipping into
the grounds and unlimited child
rem swimming off the bathing
pier will be sharply curtailed
with the new system of periodic
membership card checking. The
Beach Club is rdistinctly private
and will remain so in the future.
The Meskas, present managers,
are doing an admirable job in
forcing the strictly private rule.

Numerous civilians in the yard
have written letters, voiced con-

Industrial Relations many times
in regards to the possibility of
civilians attending motion pic
lures in the Yard. Under the OPP
tional Naval District Motion
Picture Plan, the attending of
military personnel movies by
civilians is not authorized. The
present plan constitutes of a con-
tract with Hollywood producers
to supply the local military,
theaters with the latest pictures
at a minimum expense. These
movies are to viewed by mill
tary personnel only. But now that
the war is over l believe this
contract will be terminated
sometime this spring and a new
one drawn up allowing civilian
workers to attend the movies.

Thomas Warren
Died Yesterday
In Home Here
FIRST IN UNITED STATES TO
HEAR NEWS OF MAIN
SINKING IN HARBOR OF
HAVANA

Thorlas K. Warren, rs, died at
3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon
in his home at 1017 Southland
street.
He was born in Key West on
June Is, 1869, and was familiar
with the early history of the
city. He recalled wildly the hur-
ricane in 1876, when he was
seven years of age, which caused
much devastation in Key West,
and was considered to have a
velocity second only to the worst
hurricane of them all that ever
hit the city-100 years ago this
year.
The cemetery in those days
was near what was called White
head Point, and so heavily did
the sea break on the shore at
that point, collins were washed
out Of graves.
Mr.. Warren, as a telegraph
operator for Western Union, was
the first person in the United
States to hear about the sinking
of the United States battleship
Maine in Havana harbor on
February Is, 1898. He said that,
as the telegraph instrument
licked out the story, he was
tense with excitement and lost
no time in relaying the news to
Washington.
But his experience as a tele-
graph operator that he delighted
to relate pertained to the returns
of the fight in New Orleans be-
tween John L. Sullivan and
James j. Corbett. When the flash
came in that Corbett had knock
ed out Sullivan in the twenty
second round, Mr.. Warren an
nounced the result to the crowd,
which included John Paul Fag-
an, who cried out, "I'll bet fifty
dollars Corbett didn't knock him
Quit"
why bet" Mr.. Warren said
when we know from the mes
sage he was knocked out?"
II don't care what the mes
sage sayS-here's fifty dollars he
didn't do it. ~
Such was the faith that John
Paul Pagan had in the prowess
of John l.. Sullivan! Half a doz-
en- others in the crowd offered
to cover the bet, thinking that
Mr.. Pagan would back down
But he put up the money, and
of course, lost it.
When Mr.. Warren left the
employ of the Western Union
he entered the custom house
service in Key West, and went
from there to the First Nationa.
Bank, where he worked for 25
years, retiring five years ago.
Funeral services will be hello
tomorrow afternoon at 5 O'Clock
in the Lopez chapel, with the
Rev. James H. MacConnell, rec
tor of St. PauPs Church, official
ing, and interment will be II
the fa1ilily plot in the loca
cemetery. t..et
Mr.. Warren leaves the widow
Mrs. Leonard Warren; two
daughters, Miss Consuelo War
rem and Mrs. Resale w, Garth
side; son, Thomas K. Warren
Jr.; sister, Mrs. Joseph E
Shourda, and a granddaughter
Jean Warren Garthside.
MIR. Warren was a Mason, anc
pallbearers will be chosen from
that order. He will be buried
with Masonic rites.
