3 Naval Officers
Beat Him Up,Says
Il. Taylor, Ex-Cop

Fred Taylor, young ex-police-
man. accused three Naval officers
today as the assailants who beat
him up Wednesday night on
Caroline street.
: Il know who they are" Taylor
said. I've seen them a number
of times. One is a lieutenant SEN
ior grade and the other two are
lieutenants junior grade"
Taylor, who resigned from the
police force a few weeks ago to
resume his craft as upholsterer
for the Key West Bedding Co.,
said he believed the reason for
their assaulting him was prob
ably something he did in line of
duty as a policeman.
Vengeance is the only motive
/ can think Of" he said.
Taylor, whose nose was broken
in four places by blows from
his aSsailants, said he had taken
a cup of coffee at Pepe's on
lower Duval street some time af-
ter 10 p. m. He then got on his
bicycle and rode up Duval to
Caroline and proceeded over
Caroline toward his home at I'D
Porter place.
Between Duval and Simonton,
he said. someone yelled, "Hey,
Taylor" Recognizing the men, he
said, he drew over to the curb,
two of them grabbed
him and the third man slugged
him repeatedly. After blow on
the nose he said he was not able
to tell what happened.
Taylor says he is not reporting
the men to the police, as he could
never get proof that the three
men were not elsewhere. He
however, that he would
get even in some way.
Taylor was found by Patrol
man Jolly in a yard on Caroline
street in semi-conscious con-
iition. Except for some cuts on
The lip and around the mouth and
his smashed nose, his features
we're not greatly marrcd.

At 6:l3 a. m, today the first

And at about the same hour the
thermometers dropped to So de-

recall when it was so cold on the
first day of spring.
1T was colder the first day of

Frost, Key West weatherman.
Then it got down to 62 degrees.
But, shucks, it wasn't so cold
in Key West this morning as it
was in other places. In Miami it
got down to SIS and in Tallahassee

The coolest March 81 that has

in 1886. On March 81, 1881, it

The Capital is always interested
in the advent of new and eligible
man-especially if he Is past the
35-year mark. From that age on
up the shortage is so acute that the
newcomer dazedly wonders what's
hit him when he's invited to from
one to five parties. a day. A new
name to be added to the stag list Is
that of Pryor Palmer, the recently
arrived British military attache.
When Peter Molloy, assistant mill
tary attache, gave cocktail party
for him the other afternoon, it was
learned that the new colonel is quite
a yachtsman and polo player-six
handicap man, in fact--and is
brother to one of England's best
known gentlemen jockeys Of recent
years.
Apropos of the aforementioned
subject is the comparison between
the men in Washington and the men
most any other place in the United
States. A local gal who has just
returned from a visit in Memphis,
Tenn, is amazed at the difference.
Here, for instance. all that's ex-
peeted of man invited to party
is that he be there, whereas in
Memphis no feminine thing steps
out even to go to a cocktail party
across the street without an escort.
If It's an evening party she can ex-
pect an orchid, even from q blind
date. At dance the men are more
interested in the girls than in the
