FORMER UNITED STATES MARSHALL
PETER WILLIAMS CAREER REVIEWED

Soon after the purchase Mr..
Williams and Mr.. Warren gave up
contracting and building, and en-
barked in the furniture and UNI
d ertaking business.
In 1870 Mr.. Williams was elect
ed a member of the Board of Edu-
cation, and was soon afterwards
elected by the Board as its chair
man. He served eight years on
the Board, when he resigned.
About the same time he was
elected on the Board of Educa-
ton he was also elected member
of the County Commissioners
and served for four years on this
board, with honor and distinc-
ton, giving entire satisfaction to
the citizens of Monroe county.
In 1879 Mr.. Williams was ap-
pointed United States Marshall
under Hayes administration, and
filled the office with the honor
and dignity becoming a United
States officer, until March, 1887,
when the political status of the
Government was changed, and a
Democrat was appointed in his
stead.

By PATRICIA.

PETER A. WILLIAMS was
born in New Bedford, Mass, on
the 26th day of May, 1888, where
he spent the first eight years of
his life; and on the 1st of January,
1916, his parents emigrated to
Key West, where young Peter was
placed in one of the private
schools on the island, in which
he was allowed to remain until
he was sixteen years old, when
he was apprenticed to Daniel Da-
Wis to learn the carpenters trade.
But at the expiration of about
eighteen months he left the shop
of Mr.. Davis and entered the shop
of Watson & Solomon, where he
completed his apprenticeship.
In 1866 he entered. into co-part
nerShip with Robert Watson, one
of his former employers, engaged
in contracting and building. And
in 1870 they admitted into the
firm Geo. D. Warren and con-
tinued the business under the firm
name of Watson & Co., until
1872, when Mr.. Williams and Mr.
Warren purchased the interest of
Mr.. Watson in the business.

POLES HARDSHIPS
WORST IN EUROPE,
SPOKESMAN SAYS
By LARRY ALLEN
Ato Nau Writer

WARSAW, Poland.-Dr. Emil
Sommerstein, chief of the war
PREPARATIONS section of the Polish
government, says Poland suf-
fered btQlogically, culturally and
economically during the war to
a far. greater degree than any
other European country.
Germany aimed to break the
Polish nation biologically. That
is why the losses directly due to
war are only seven and one
half per cent, while those due
to Nazi killings, persecution ard
torture are 9212 percent, he said
in a recent interview.
Poland, with six million Poles
ard Jews murdered, is undoubt-
eddy the first country in the
tragic classification of war de-
struction.
DR.. Sommerstein said property
losses amounting to So billion
already had been reported by
Polish individuals to the repara-
tons section. Along with losses
sustained by state properties,
this total is expected to reach
$40 billion-baSed on pre-war
value of five zlotys to each
American dollar.

STRANGE ANIMAL
PUZZLES EXPERTS

A strange animal, trapped by
fisherman and now featured
at the North American Sports
mems Wild Life Exhibit, Tropi-
cal Amusement Park, 713 Duval
street. has thus far defied efforts
of naturalists to identify it. The
exhibit is open daily from noon
until IL pm. There is no charge
for admission.
The fisherman, who lives near
Marathon, Fla, began to worry
recently when several of his
chickens disappeared by night.
He suspected that some animals
might be guilty, and set trap.
The next morning he discovered
that he had captured what at
first he believed to be a raccon.
Upon examination, however,
the creature proved to have only
the tail of a raccoon, with the
other parts of its body resembl-
ing those of a number of diff
ferent animals. It has the ears
of a fox, claws of a badger,
snout of an anteater and fur of
a beaver.
The animal was exhibited by
the fisherman along the Keys
after which it was decided to
bring it to Key West. Trapper
Hawkins, the naturalist at the
exhibit, has been as puzzled by
the creature as anyone else.
The peculiar creature is but
one of more than 200 animals,
birds and reptiles now at the
animal exhibit, many of them
having been cartooned by Robt.
L. Ripley. 1t will be on exhibit
ton for a limited time only.
Sportsmen, animal lovers and
children have attended it in
throngs during the first two
days showing here.
