W. Goddard ° ° ° Dies In Miami Dr. Walter W, Goddard died in Jackson Memorial Hospital, Mia- mi, on April 26 at the age of 76. Dr. Goddard, born in Ballston Spa, N. Y., 1872, graduated from Albany Medical College, married i \the late Emma Laura Holsapple of Cohoes, N.Y. Retired to Mia- mi after practicing medicine for 50 years in Schnectady. He is sur- vived by one son, Comdr. Leland H. Goddard of Key West and a brother William M. Goddard of Round Lake, N. Y. Services were held in Miami. a narrow.road, flanked by woods, when bandits opened fire with machine guns. Three soldiers! who accompanied the . Queson party returned the fire but they also were killed. Government officials said that no political significance should be attached to the assassinations. Mrs. Queson, the officials added, was beloved by the peasants, and the assassins probably did not know who were in the auto- mobiles, because it was evident that the object of the attack was robbery. Money, jewels and other valu- ables were taken by the bandits from the clothing of their vic- tims.

This year many residents have been looking for the familiar blooms. They geerally find that the trees are not diseased, but are rather worried about the! flowers coming into bloom. A well known woman said to- day that he trees did not bear! the buds as early this year. She | said that undoubtedly the trees | growth had been retarded by salt spray thrown against them by last September's hurricane. “Then we've not had our usual “The trees took a terrific beating in the storm last year and seems to have retarded tehir usu- al blooming period. | “I hope the blooms do come out soon.
