Mr. Dyson is an interesting in the city look- talker and has a very. pleasing} personality. He says that a great many people get the U. S. mar- shal's office confused with the prohibition enforcement depart- ment of the government. A num- ~ ber of really intelligent peopie, he says, have written him from time to time complaining about lack of enforcement of the prohibition laws. “Our department has no more} to do with violations of the pro- bibition statutes than with the vio- _ lation of any other of the various’ “United Sintes laws,” Mr. Dyson “We go after violators I laws just. the somes ly other crimes against ent,” fe said. "We t and work up these _ prohibition. he said. “All we do is to them after they are worked up and turhed over to us in the proper form.” Mr. Dyson says about 90 per cent of the cases handled in the federal courts now are for viola: tion of the federal prohibition law, and it must be this fact that Jeads people to think that the United States marshal’s force is} composed of prohibition officers. | But the two are separate and dis-! tinet departmente. | Vf the U.

Hold Previous Meeting The Dade commissioners had} held a meeting the day before yes- | terday, according to the Miami Daily News, and I. —. Schilling, ay member of the state road depart-/ ment residing in’ Miami, had ap-! peared’ at this meeting and told the Dade commissioners that “they had everything to gain and| nothing to lose’ by signing the contract sent them by the state road. department. “To this the | Dade. board, -~except that! | some Cee tic sn be! breaking’ faith with Monroe and |Lee counties and with the Chev-) \elier corporation, and that Monroe would get nothing out of the bar- |gain,” the newspaper article stat- ed. | | | | | Mr. Schilling, it was learned,| had also influenced the Chamber| of Commerce at Miami until that) organization endorsed the Collier) county route for the Tamiami trail | and had passed a resolution asking the Dade county commissioners to | ; sign the contract sent them by the| | State toad department. The Dade | county commissioners were to} | meet yesterday afternoon for the) | purpose of attaching signatures to | the state road department contract providing for the trail to pass! through Collier county, thus leav-| ing Monroe out completely. The telegram sent from Key West urg- ing that the meeting be delayed | | }of Monroe county commissioners | | was complied with, and they were | given a hearing cheerfully, while Chairman Kerchheiner stated the Monroq side of the situation. The brief, butsclear and forcible talk made by Chairman Kerch- heiner immediately changed the complexien of things in general, Mr. McInnis stated. The _Dade commissioners then decided to delay the signing of the contract until the state road department could hold another joint meeting with the Dade and Monroe county comni'ssioners, said meeting to’ be held at Key West. and that at the earliest date possible. Explains Matters The Dade commissioners had not gone over the contract for Monroe county drawn up by the state road department, and did not realize the gross injustice done this county until Mr. Kerchheiner explained the situation to them. They then turned and voted unan- imously for a measure delaying the signing of the contract and de- manding a meeting as mentioned, in Key West. It had been the general impres- sion that the contracts sent out by the road department would be uniform and intended for officials of all counties concerned to sign But not so. There is a separate and distinct, and widely different agreement for each county, Mr. McInnis says, and that it had been the policy of the road department to draw up agreements suitable to Collier and Dade counties, get signatures attached thereto, and let Key West get absolutely noth- ing out of the bargain. “ut they didn’t quite put it over on Dade county,” Mr. McInnis stated, and “great credit is due the county commissioners’ com- mittee for their prompt and most effective efforts at an extremely critical time.” KEY WEST, FLORIDA, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1926.

Kate was not a flirt nor a flap- | per. She was never known to use the lipstick nor to powder her |nose. She might well have been | classed as an “old maid.” for she had never married, though her, | chareter was immaculately clean! and no gossipers had ever ques- tioned the purity of her soul. Kate did not have bobbed hair and | had never been out motoring with aman. She had never told any jone her age, and, strange to say, no one had ever asked her how old she was. She took no interest | in polities and had never register- ed to vote. Kate had never been to school a day in her life, conse- quently she could neither read nor write. She could not speak either, though she could hear perfectly well. Kate was a faithful and hard worker, and had held the same position for perhaps seventeen years. During all this time she | had never flinched from duty and had performed her work wonder- fully well. She could have kept right on at the same job if death | had not claimed her.

Did you know Kate? You have seen her hundreds of times. But you just didn’t know who she was. Kate was very poor indeed in this world’s goods. She occupied plain but* comfortable room right near the city hall, where she had lived and enjoyed life in her way for a great many years. Mon- day night she was taken violently ill, and no one was near to ad- aninister to her ills nor to relieve the terrible pains that was racking her being. In endeavoring to get out of the door to seek aid she sustained a fall that crushed her head and resulted ultimately in her death. But you Well, Kate was a gentle, good- natured little mule of the female kind. She had drawn one of the city carts for a long, long time, estimated at from 12 to 17 years by those in position toknow. Bu! she is dead now, and another mule will have to be bought to take the place that she filled so well.
