HE HERE TO CONDUCT SPECIAL OFFICER NOT YET NAMED CLEANUP CAMPAIGN Circuit’Judge Aquilino Lopez, %& jr., said today he has not yet de- ; cided whom he will appoint as eleisor, or special officer, to serve | summonses, instead of the sher- iff, in impanneling a jury to serve at a term of court, beginning }next Wednesday, when a grand jury will be drawn from the 'vyenire to consider charges that | have been filed with Governor | “real” | Caldwell against Shreiff Berlin A. Sawyer. Judge Lopez explained ihat he is trying to get a man to serve | as special officer political ties. He added that the probability is he will not pub- licly announce the name of the | | appointee until the jury is drawn who has no! Friday, as his services will not} be needed until the drawing has been made. Meanwhile, the town is rife with speculation about the charges that have been made against Sheriff Sawyer. What they are, likely will not be known until the grand jury has completed its investigation. Governor Caldwell, in his mes- sage to Judge Lopez, did aot specify the nature of the charges. Reports at the sheriff's office this morning were that Sheriff Sawyer is on his way to Key West, but no information had been’ received from him »bout the time he expected to arrive her It was even reported he ve flying to Key W but at his office it was remarked that probably he is returning in his automobile with Assistant State Attorney William V. Albury and Deputy Sheriff George Lee. Governor Caldwell has not formally announced the name of the state attorney who will handle the investigation, but. a report, which seems to be correct, is that his judicial dis- trict is in a county in the lower east coast, i It-was because of his inability to come to Key West immedia’ ly that the drawing of the jury question said he would be able * to be here.

In Sic.ly, which is preponder- atingly pro-monarchist, demon- | strationg reached the proportions of uprisings. Sicilians declared {they would continue to oppose the republic, and they issued an ap- peal calling on King Umberto te remain in Italy. It was reported that he had | tied from Rome and was in hid- jing somewhere in the southern part of the country. Meanwhile, the new govern- ; ment, fearing attacks on this city in attempts to overthrow the republic, have ordered that roads be blocked in strategic places m the southern area, In Taranta today the demon- strations .against the republic e as fiery as they were im Sic‘ly.
