TAMPA, Fla., August 27.—The ar- yest of two alleged patrons of Tampa's celebrated “Key Club” was made to day by officers who participated in the raid on the establishment July 23. B. Z. Angle, city editor, and John L. FHackney, assistant city editor of the Tampa News, were taken into custody by Detective Harry L. Myers, who made the raid last month with Law- rence F. Ponder, former chiet of the vice squad. They were charged with conspiracy to violate the city prohibi- tion ordinance. Judge Denies Order. The arrests were made as a result of the raid and on the orders of Mu- nicipal Judge Stalnaker, Myers said. Judge Stalnaker, however, in a state- ment issued at his home tonight, dented any knowledge of the arrests and said he did not order them ngle gave himself up voluntarily -tAth‘e m‘:‘lca station when informed that officers were seeking him.

The Key Club raid gained notoriety when Detective Ponder announced that he had made moving pictures of patrons entering and leaving the club.

Propaganda Kept Alive. The situation is seriously aggra- vated by the fact that several Com- munist deputies now are in prison and all this helps to keep the Com- munist propaganda alive. The Human- jte has doubled its circulation in the last few weeks. Our coalition government is sadly torn between the Conservatives, who demand rigorous repression of the Communist demonstrations. and the Liberals, who threaten to side with the. Communists if stern measures are'taken Moscow is thus revenging itself for the. persistent snubbing she has re- ceived from America. The Soviet Re- public is promoting division betweer. the world’s huge ofl concerns as well as the bourgeiose nations. The Soviets first made the Sacco-Vanzetti executions enevitable by arousing Massachusetts to a legitimate sense of ‘independence and now seeks to gain. the_ maximum advantage there- . Public opinion everywhere must be on. guard against succumb- ing to this bluff. Whatever happens France will give the Legion the glorious reception it desérves. (Copyright, 1927.) FRENCH TO PROTECT LEGION. CHICAGO, August 27 (P.—A mil- Mon French comrades in arms are ready to protect members of the Amer- ican Legion from possible outbreaks of -8acco-Vanzetti sympathizers in France during the coming convention, Mayrice Bokanowski, French minister of commerce and aviation, advised to- day. M. Bokanowski, who was in Chicago today as the guest of Vice President Charles G. Dawes and members of the Frerch colony, said that France was reparing a warm welcome for the gionnaires and that everything would be done to prevent attacks and insults. “I do not anticipate any serious troyble, however, although Paris, like any other metropolitan center, in- cludes among its people thousands of radical sympathizers,” he explained. “As'a means of proving its friendship, for the former American doughboys a national holiday will be proclaimed the day of the parade and a special postage stamp, bearing the pictures of Washington and Lafayette on op- posite sides and linked with an air- plane picture commemorative of Lind- bergh's transatlantic flight, will be is- sued for the 15 days of the conven- tion,” he said. Recalls Days When Women, Weather and Washington Were Different. Retired Gardener Lived Here| When Avenue Mud Was Hub-Deep. From 1533 to 1927 Is a long march | and when a man has gone the full route, he’s bound to notice many things between the two ends of the trail. Robert Silas Perkins, a member of the John Dickson Home, 5000 Four- teenth strest, finished just that much of life's journey vesterday and when he presided at a birthday party in his honor last night he appeared ready to do the 94 years over agaln. Between the songs of Miss: Helen Tucker and G O. Myers, friends of Mrs. W. H.| Purll, his grandniece, who arranged | the party for him. Mr. Perkins peeped back through the years and squint apprehensively about him at Sees Many Changes. *Changes? Well, I guess so." Washington. the weather and the women—they're all changed and, what's more, Mr. Perkins doesn’t be- of these changes will revert y they wers when he was people have changed,” Mr. Perkins had observed just before his party, “particularly the women. Why. in my day if a woman's skirts didn't come to her shoe tops. why. as a thing to be talked about: and now oh, my! Their skirts are up to their knees, and some of them wear them higher! And they do things different- ly now. Why, a little girl these days runs around a whole lot more than the grown women of my youth did “What'll make them nge back again? Nothing! They're going to get worse instead of better!” No Care for Politics. No, Mr. Perkins doesn’t care a thing about politics. He lived in Washing- ton just about all his life, and he voted for President only once, and that was 80 long ago he's not sure who it was he voted for. “But they all want to vote now— the women, too! Do you like that? [ don't. and I don’t thius it's right.” Mr. Perkins was born just over the District line in Prince Georges County, M4., and as soon as he could do any thing like work he went to gardening and stayed at it all his working life. In that way he became a close ob- server of the weather. and he says it's nothing like it used to be. “Why, I remember one time back in 1850—it was ‘May 6., I believe,” he recalled. “I was going to set out some tomato plants, and just when I got started it began to snow. and in a little while the ground w covered MOOSE TEAM WINS CONVENTION PRIZE Local Home of Order Filled by Visiting Members En Route From Philadelphia. The degree team of the Washington Loyal Order of Mooss won first prize in the competition this week at the thirty-ninth annual convention in Philadelphia, when it scored 9215 points and was awarded $400. Second place went to the degree team from Elwood, Il1. ‘Wade H. Mitchell, orator of the local team, known as the blind orator, won first honors in the individual competi- tion when he scored 97 points, the highest score ever attained at a na- tional convention. ‘The members of the local degree team were: Dictator E. C. Green, Past Dictator 0. R. Wentz, Vice Dis- tator Albert W. Stahl, Prelate M. V. Hanson, Orator Wade H. Mitchell, Sergeant-at-Arms R. F. Beatty, First Assistant Joe Apolionio, Second As- sistant T. J. Lanahan, Pianist Albert Elliott. The honorary degree of friendship was conferred on Ethel Pythian and the fellowship degree on William Han- son. Representative Fred Zihlman of Maryland, dictator of the local order, headed more than 75 members to the convention. The local home of the order was filled yesterday by visiting members en route to their homes.

Member of the John Dickson Home, who yesterday observed his ninety- fourth birthday anniversary. That was May, but that doesn’t hap- pen these da; No, indeedy! Nelther the Winter nor the Summer is what it used to be.” Rises at 4:30. From those gardening days Mr. Perkins retains one of its most ex- acting habits. Although his is now a life of letsure, he goes to bed right after dinner, and he's up at 4:39 o'clock every morning! He “just sits,” it's true, but he's up just the same. As for Washington the city: “Why, I remember when the road from the Capitol to the President's house was just a sea of mud and you'd sink to your hubs. All along that dis- tance you could see just a few scat- tered houses, and now look at it! Yes, in those days Washington used to be full of cows and pigs, but you don't see them mnow, do vou? Changed? Oh, my, yves, indeedy Mr. Perkins used to be a great reader, but in recent years hig sight hasn’t been quite so good. But be- fore it began to dim he had read his RBible through just nine times since he became a member of John Dickson Home. He believes religion and faith in God is just about the most important thing to any human and if a man wants to live long. My advice is just to take good care of vourself. do things like smoking and drinking in moderation and get plenty of sleep and live the best you know how by being faithfui to your fellow men and to the Lord God above. ‘Then you'll live here and you'll live hereafter.” Mr. Perkins wants it recorded that he was christened in the Rock Creek Episcopal Church when he was a month old, and that now—every sin- gle Sunday—he attends services at the Episcopal Church of the Transfigura- tion, just across the street from John Dickson Home.

ORDER ANTICIPATE AT SACCO FUNERAL All Police Summoned on Duty Today in Boston—200 Mourners Planned. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, August 27.—Supt. Mich- ael H. Crowley of the Boston police today ordered every policeman on the force on duty for tomorrow, when the funerals of Nicola Sacco and Barto- lomeo Vanzettl are to be held, but indicated that he did not expect any disorder. “I belleve,” he said. “this will be 2 perfectly orderly funeral procession, and as such it will be given protection to the fullest extent by the police.” Elaborate Plans Altered. Altering their previous plans for an elaborate procession with a band from the north end Italian quarter to the crematory at Forest Hills, the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee an- nounced that the hearses will be fol- lowed by not more than 200 mourners. This change was made because a permit was necessary for a IArger pro- cession and city authorities stipulated that it must follow the most direct route. For the smaller procession no per- mit is required and the police will not interfere with the committee's desire to have it pass the Statehouse and the Common, scene of numerous dem- onstrations by sympathizers before the execution of the two men. Mre. Rose Sacco and Miss Luigia Vanzetti will ride in automobiles directly be- hind the two hearses. There will be no band. Rain Cuts Attendance. A comparatively small number of persons today viewed the bodies of the two men in the North End under- taking establishment, where they were viewed by thosuands yesterday. A heavy rain was largely responsible. The citizer.s’ national committee for Sacco and Vanzetti, organized for a last effort to save the two radicals from execution for murder, tonight issued a statement expressing grati- tude to its members throughout the country. to a group of attorneys who gave their services to the cordemned men and to volunteer workers. A financial statement appended In- dicated that the committee had re- ceived contributions of $1,700 and had expended $2,081. Copies of this state- ment have been mailed to the 150 m;;nbers of the committee, it was sald. _LEWIS LEAVES HAWAIL. Gives Up Command of Department to Gen. W. R. Smith. HONOLULU, August 27 (#).—Maj.

CHICAGO, August 27.—Joe Sal- tis and “Dingbat” Oberta are tak- ing no chances with the tricky questions and the puzzling laby- rinths of the psychoanalyst. Joe and “Dingbat,” whose giv- en name is John, are gangsters, and for several days the police department has been rounding up gangsters and gunmen, subjecting them to mentality tests. Failure in the tests has meant confinement in the cify psychopathic hospital. Michael Hughes, chlef of police, received a letter from W. W. O'Brien, attorney for the two. stating they had been given men- tal tests and allenists found them sane. O'Brien assumed it would not be necessary to molest them “O'Brien is not giving orders in this department” was Hughes crisp reaction.
