Appeals Voids
$40 Contempt Fine
In Soliciting Case

A $40 fine for contempt Of
court, imposed by Municipal Court
Judge Aubrey B. Fennell last
September against q defendent.
vas reversed yesterday by the
Municipal Court of Appeals.
The appellate court held that
Judge Fennell had no right to
find the defendant. Edward r.
Kelley. 40 guilty Of contempt,
after he was reported to have re-
ferred to the prosecutor. Robert
Short. as q liar. The incident took
place in the course of a hearing on
a motion for new trial. following
Kelly's conviction on q charge
Of soliciting prostitution.
According to the stenographic
report. Mr.. Short asked Judge
Fennell to caution Kelly against
remarks about the veracity of the
prosecutor. He added that the
defendant had muttered. what q
liar under his breath.
The report continues with Judge
Fennell's questioning of Kelly and
cutting OF the attempts OF Kelly S
attorney. James J. Laughlin, TO
interrupt. The $40 sentence was
imposed after Kelly admitted
using the expression.
In It's decision yesterday. the
the Court Of Appeals noted that
Judge Fennel would have had the
power to punish contempt in a
summary manner, II he had heard
it himself. In acting on the
unsworn statement OF the pro-
secutor and denying Kelly the
right Of counsel. or cross-examin-
alton, however. the court held
Judge Fennell was not acting &C
cording to due process Of law.
I'm other words" the opinion
reads. "Cthe) appellant was taken
by the heels and fined for con-
tempt without semblance Of a
trial"
According to his attorney. Kelly.
who lives at 2126 Pennsylvania
avenue NV, still is awaiting 4
ruling on his motion for q new
trial on the soliciting charge.

And there appeared no indication
that he would be defeated In his
bid for reelection as a director
despite the current upteaval In
his top management group.
Since Mr.. Avery took over as
Wards chairman in 1881. he has
engaged In many skirTnisnes with
his stockholders. He also has bat
tied with officials over business
policies.
Eight New Ohicials Named.
And during the war he stub
bornly resisted Government at
tempts to take over the huge Chi
cago plant. He lost that fight.
But he didn't give the Government
possession Of his ofiice until two
soldiers carried him through the
plant and deposited him on the
sidewalk in front Of the main
entrance.
Apparently in preparation for
the stockholders meeting the
company yesterday installed a
new group Of eight vice presidents
to replace some of the officials
who have quit In the current
management blow-up. They were
named by the company's Ex-
ecutive Committee. which includes
Mr.. Avery and four other di-
rectors.
The new men. all veterans OF
the Ward organization are:
c. A. Maxey, retail manager
C. w. Anderson. mail order mana
ger: Morris Ginsburg, soft lines
merchandise manager: j. c. Wag-
ner, household lines and appli-
ances manager: J. A. Weber
hard lines merchandise manager;
A. r. Cahill, treasurer; z. A.
Krider, controller and S. s. Ball,
secretary.
The eight are veterans in the
company organization. There
were already officers of the
company holding the positions of
secretary. treasurer. and con-
troller. The added titles do not
change their duties.
Mr.. Avery told q reporter. in
commenting on the recent resig-
nation Of officials-including four
vice presidents since last Satur-
day-that the company has rid
itself of the very real conspiracy
we have had"
New Men Called Capable.
1T has been cleaned out" he
said. THE new people we have
elected are capable high grade
men. There should be nothing
puzzling or confusing about the
recent events. I am completely
satisfied with our new group of
people who have proven them
selves"
Naming Of the vice presidents
it was reported In financial
circles. was in the way Of an an
swer to a demand by a large
stockholder for an explanation
of the recent disturbances in the
company's top management. The
request was by the Wellington
Fund, q Philadelphia investment
firm. which owns 5000 shares OF
Wards stock. It said 1t had not
as yet voted for the Avery slate
of directors.
The company's largest stock
holder. Massachusetts, Investors
Trust, earlier had served notice
it would vote its 100000 for the
reelection Of three board mem
bers. but would pass Mr.. Avery.
There was talk in financial
circles that some firms holding
large shares are disturbed by re-
cent events and are considering
a change OF policy.
Sales Of the company, tie ma.

chandising firm, were k,ore thar

church office final say over what
is to be taught in seminaries and
theological schools and what text
books are to be used.
The DEGREES were issued to
clarity the duties of the new min

Of the Roman Catholic hierarchy
The law setting up the churc:?
ministry was a companion piece
/ Of legislation to a bill giving the
State control of all churches, ad-
ministrative appointments and
financial affairs.
The latest DEGREES state that
the new church ministry shall:

AGAINST $3.50 BOND
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
Public health and sanitation
has been dealt a stunning blow
by the City of Key West in it's
$3.50 ordinance providing for a
bond of that sum for opening a
street. If the city fathers would
have looked into the Plumbing
Code they would have found a
provision which entitled the
manager and city engineer to set
"a reasonable fee.
| ask them how many average
citizens can cough up two hun
.dred and fifty dollars? In past
years citizens have been dis
eliminated against by forcing
them TO post bond while flying
squads opened up holes all over
town without posting bond. Don't
.blame the plumbers for the street
conditions blame the city for not
finding a way to decrease its ex-
penditureS instead of increasing
them. God rest the souls of those
tortured city councilmen who
were covered with fiery speeches
for waste when our present
budget looks like something from
out of the sky, Does it take two
hundred and fifty dollars to
patch a hole? Lets give the citi-
zens a break and award them the
same treatment given public
utilities. This is one time the city
commission made hole in one
and hit the jackpot.
This is not against protecting
our streets as they should be.
This is against unreasonable
nightmares such as this one and
asking for comprehensive and
just rate to be set. How can the
sponsors of ordinance have the
nerve to say even mari streets,
and some like Louisa street that
have received no other help than
what the Good Lord saw fit to
do when he made Key West.
