There was a large number of members of this temple present, and after a short business session the shower was brought in by Mrs. Irene Adams and Mrs. Adele Whit- marsh, who presented the plates and other gifts in a large dish pan, to Polly, the kitchen maid. Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Whitmarsh were costumed as small girls and Polly was Mrs. Violet Stickney. This presentation was followed} by an address by Preacher Tom Russell while he waited for the ar- rival of the bridal party in a mock wedding ceremony. After the bridal party had ar- rived and taken their respective places before the preacher, Mrs. Julia Sweeting sang, “O Promise |} Me.” Everyone enjoyed the en-} tertainment, and the Sisters promise other entertainments to provide furnishings for their kitchen.

Ac- cording to special correspondence to the New York Sun and the At- lanta Journal, in a copyrighted article in the Atlanta Journal, dated Shanghai, Jan. 14, the fol- lowing appeared: “The first circumnavigation of the globe in a Chinese junk is being undertaken by Captain Eric de Bisschop, who recently left Shanghai for Manila on the first leg of his world girdling journey. “His fifty-ton craft, specially built at the famous Ningpo Ship- ping Yards, is considered to be a} splendid type of Chinese sailing vessel, combining seaworthiness with speed, comfort and safety. “The Fou Po, as de Bisschop’s ship is named, is built with high poop in recognized Chinese tradi- tion, has three masts, radio, an auxiliary motor, and its super- structure is finished off in Chinese architecture, with — bulkheads pierced with moon-gates, roofed with slanted eves. . “Traveling under the auspices of the Geographical Society of Paris, Captain de Bisschop intends to make a scientific survey of ocean currents during his voyage. His itinerary will take him to the Philippines, the Dutch Indies, the South Sea Islands, through the Panama Canal, and along the east coast of the United States. tends to sail through the Mediter- ranean and Suez, back to the Orient. He is accompanied by three Russians and two Chinese, who make up the crew. ‘Their voyage is expected to take three years to complete.” It will be recalled that a similar ship visited here several years ago, but did not complete a world cruise. It created a great deal of interest while in port. and was viewed by hundreds of residents. TER A rhythm of headlines, trumpet- ing the outstanding highlights of each period, is employed to intro- duce the several historical eras in the RKO-Radio production, “The Conquerors,” co-statring Richard Dix-and Ann Harding which shows tonight at the Strand Theater. As the picture opens in 1873 Grant is starting his second term as president of the United States; the population of New York City is 1,500,000 and its boundaries are being extended to Yonkers. In 1874, Sholes Densmore pa- tented the first writing machine; in 1876 Alexander Graham Bell, demonstrated the telephone; in 1878 New York City built its first elevated railroad. In 1895 Holland tested the first submarine; in 1898 Marconi prov- ed that his wireless telegraph was practical; in 1901, President Me- Kinley died and Roosevelt went in- to the White House. In that same year the world’s first billion dollar enterprise—the U. S. Steel Corporation—was formed by J. P. Morgan. H In 1903, the Wright Brothers} flew the first heavier-than-air| craft. In 1914, newspapers screamed these headlines: “Balkan Clash Threatens Peace of Europe.” . . . And finally: “Austria Declares! War on Serbia”... Followed by: “Germany Invades France.” In 1920, women were granted the right to vote; in 1925, New York and London were connected by wireless telephone; in 1926, Commander Byrd flew over the North Pole; in 1927, Colonel Lindbergh, then captain, spanned the Atlantic. These historical facts and many others are blended into the beauti- ful romance that dominates the great and timely theme of “The Conquerors’, which was directed by William A. Wellman. Howard | Estabrook wrote the original story | and Robert Lord the screen play. A CHILD’S PRAYER I thank Thee God For Thy dear love, And rich blessings From above.

The other three could not be found as they are out of the county. : Two of those who qualified for duty asked for excuses. Herbert Weech, operating fishing boats and a grocery store and Jack Gaiti, barber. Judge Harris ex- cused both of these jurors. The docket was sounded and disposition made of the following cases. Albert Carson, charged with forgery, was reported in jail in Charleston, S. C., serving a sen- tence. Solicitor Busto will in- vestigate the matter and deter- mine if Monroe county wants Car- son when released. Joseph Lowe’s case of non- support was continued until the| 9 next term of court. Ed Sims, charged with ag- gravated assault will be arraigned for trial Friday. Louise Knight, charged with un- lawful possession of liquor is to be tried Thursday morning. At- torney L. A. Harris, for the de- fense, advised the court that he will be ready at that time. The case of Roy Lewin, charged with embezzlement is held in abeyance by mutual agreement of Wm. H. Malone for the defense and County Solicitor Busto and the consent of the court. Mr. Malone asked that the solici- tor furnish him with a bill of par- ticulars after which he will be in a position to outline his case and prepare motions, he said. The bill of particulars will be furnished as soon as feasible. SIMMONS WANTED FOR SHOOTING IS PLACED IN JAIL ALLEGED TO HAVE WOUNDED LEROY HENDERSON; CAP- TURED LATE YESTERDAY; BOTH ARE COLORED James Simmons, colored, who is alleged to have shot Leroy Hen- edrson, also colored, Sunday night at Long Key, is now in Monroe county jail under bond of $2,500. Simmons was captured late yes- terday by Constable Edney Park- ROAD TRAFFIC (Continued from Page One) 37,157 cars and 88,563 passen- gers. During the same period 3,452 trucks, with 5,546 passengers, were checked at this point. In ad- dition there were 479 busses pass- ing with 2,658 passengers. The chart thus shows a total of 40,088 vehicles of all classes and a@ passenger count of 96,767 for the 15 days specified. Discussing these figures with a member of the Overseas Bridge Corporation, he was surprised at the results obtained and freely ex- pressed the thought that when the bridges are built over the water ps on the highway, the © travel will be increased unbelievably. Foreign Cars And this increase will not be particularly noticeable in the num- ber of Florida cars but foreign cars, that is cars from other states than Florida, will realize that the last link in the Pan American Highway is complete and the travel to Key West will be in- calculably increased. Because, as the member of the MUNICIPAL BAND MET LAST NIGHT WITH CITIZENS PLAN OUTEINED FOR HELP- ING ORGANIZATION; | FU- TURE, OPERATIONS DIS. CUSSED DURING SESSION Members of the Key West Muni- cipal Band and friends of the or- ganization met last night in San Carlos school building to discuss the future of the band. A number of citizens were in attendance and made many valu- able suggestions as to ways and means for perfecting the organiza- tion and carrying on. While no great amount of money will be needed, some money must be forthcoming if the future of the band is to be assured and. this matter was discussed from every standpoint. There is no need at present for instruments, as all members have their own.. However, music will be needed, repairs to instruments at times become necessary and uni- forms will have to be bought. To overcome these needs for the present and future, a plan was outlined that met with the proval of the meeting and this te to be explained to merchants and other citizens by the following committee: M. E, Berkovitz, chair- man; A. S. Caviness, Leo Warren, E. C. McCoy and J. J. Trevor, A committee was appointed to draw up the by-laws. On this are M. E. Berkovitz, Charles H. Ketch- um and E, H. Gray.

The constable arrived over the East Coast with Simmons shortly before 12 o’clock today and Ed. Lowe, justice of the peace at Tav- ernier, with the constable and pris- oner and State Attorney George G. Brooks, went to Stéck Island. After arriving at the Martin Key place on Stock Island the prisoner was arraigned and bond fixed at $2,500 and the hearing set for 10 o’clock Saturday morning at the same place. The reason given for going to ; Stock Island to arraign the pris- oner and hold the hearing is be- cause the shooting occurred in the Third District over which Mr. Lowe has jurisdiction and the hearing must be held in that dis- trict, if Mr. Lowe is to preside. ‘COMMISSIONERS ' DISCUSS NEEDS STATE SENATOR ARTHUR GO- MEZ ATTENDS MEETING LAST NIGHT Interests and needs of Monroe county were discussed at a special meeting of the board of county oners last night with nator Arthur Gomez at- Mr. Gomez told the board that ators and representatives from district will meet at an early t Pierce, with W.

Vandal Tears Accessory From W. L. Bates’ Auto Car Here Last Evening W. L.
