STRONGHOLD OF TRIBESMEN IS TAKEN BY FRENCH (r AHM4ln| Pwwi) BEIRUT, Syria, April 26. Souekia, gateway to the moun tainous region in which the Druse tribesmen have their last strong holds, -has been captured from the Druses by the French. This stronghold of the tribesmen was taken after a six-hour battle Sun day morning. The tribesmen suffered heavy casualties and abandoned two field guns. The French threw into the offensive two columns, composed of eleven battalions of infantry, four batteries of artil lery and a number of tanks and airplanes. The town was the headquarters of the tribal leader, Sultan Atrash. General Andrea, a skilled strategist, commanded the French. This was the first large scale offensive against the insurgents since M. De Jouvenel *took over the high commiseionership of Syria from General Sarrail. It was at Souekia last September that the French suffered a severe reverse at the hands of the tribes men and shortly afterwards with draw from the Djebel Druse dis trict and concentrated all their forces on Damascus. AMUSEMENTS MONROE THEATRE TODAY—“The Wyoming Wild cat.” Comedy, “Offfcer of the DV-* TOMORROW “Morals For Mon.” Comedy, “Giddap!*’ (Special to The Citizen) BOSTON, Mass., April 26.—C. W. Barron in The Boston News Bureau just published says of the Oversea Highway and Key West- Key Largo development: South of Miami on the Biscayne Bay shore is a line of marshes which will probably have, to wait another generation for dredge de velopment. But the Florida'East Coast Railway and the new motor Oversea Highway to Key West are bringing development to the Flor-? idn Keys never dreamed of until within the past two years. Senator William M. Butler of Massachusetts advanced a few ten thousands in 1924 to a personal political friend who thought he saw an opportunity to develop 500 acres in ah exceptionally good location on Key Largo. The Key Largo Club Properties was or ganized, and before the scarafiers could clear the land, or streets could be built, or even a dredge commanded, nearly 11,500,000.00 in lots was sold to people who wanted a high-class restricted and protected Florida winter home, where*the fishing is good both east and west, and you can golf or yacht under southern winter breezes. Of course canals, swimming pools and yacht brains will follow. The land has been cleared and the dredge is mi work, end -whet is more, the manager* de not. know the price to pat upon the remain ing two-thirds unsold land, the de mand has been so far beyond their expectations. Key Largo is 36 miles long and jhas about 22,000 acres. The de velopment begun at Key ‘Largo Club Properties has resulted in j placing about half the island un dcr plans for development, which if carried out by the dozen land companies now operating there J will mean, including buildings, more than two hundred millions of dollars for this one Florida Kev. The most ambitious of these companies is Key Largo City, which has 6,000 acres south of the Key Largo Club Properties, and Ifo ocean* and bay shore front ages. The cost was about 1,000 per acre. The holding company of Key Largo City is known as the Island Holding Company, and it controls nearly 20,000 acres on the big undeveloped keys further; down towards Key West. Frank B. Shutts of the Miami Herald, who is worth at least ten million dollars and is said to be in most of the leading Miami en terprises, is chairman of the Board of Directors, and C. Bas-! com Stamp is very much interest ed as a stockholder. There are three railroad stations on Key Largo for the Havana Special and other excellent pas senger trains, and the motor I Oversea Highway will be opened to Key Largo within a few days— a continuation of the Dixie High way planned to connect New York City with Key West in a few years. Plans call for $20,0000,000.00 in developments at Key Largo City the next three years for streets, sidewalks, ‘hotels, golf courses, etc. About $2,000,000.00 worth of land has been sold to date, but this company has the basis for a hundred million dollar develop ment.

DECORATE GRAVES OF CONFEDERATES MEMORIAL PAY OBSERVED BY LOCAL RESI DENTS Graves of the Confederate dead in Key West are being beauti fully decorated with flowers today by the Henry R. Mallory chapter Daughters of the Confederacy, as a continuation of the Memorial day observance program started yesterday afternoon with the pretty exercises and address at Bayvtew Park. The postoffice is open for busi ness as usual today, but the holi day is being generally observed by the batiks -over the state and" flags are flying from the business houses and many homes in the city. Due to the fact that Key West was occupied by Union army forces all through the period of the Civil War, there are not many graves of Confederate veterans on this island for the Daughters of the Confederacy to memorialize with flowers. Mr, and Mrs, Godfrey Thompson Leave For Pensacola Convention Key West will have two real boosters in Pensacola on Tuesday when Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey i Thompson arrive there. They left Saturday evening and will stop off at Jacksonville for a short stay before proceeding to Pensa cola where Mrs. Thompson is going to represent Justice Temple No. 17 of Pythian Sisters at the Grand Temple session that will convene in that city April 28th and 29th.

Caro is leaving tonight for Pensacola to attend the annual errand lodge of the Knights of Pythias, which con venes there Wednesday morning. Judge Caro is a member of the mileage and per diem committee of the Kpights of Pythias, and this fact makes his presence at the grand lodge very necessary.

INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES I ON MANY MADS CONTEND THAT ADDITIONAL REVENUE IS ESSENTIAL IN OPERATION OF SYSTEMS ON MANY LINES Or new) WASHINGTON, April 26.—Ac five per cent increase in freight rate revenues spread over the en tire western district “may mean the salvation of many western railroads,” says a brief prepared for filing with the Interstate Com merce Commission today. The brief 4s intended as a reply to arguments opposing, the plea of the western railways for a five per cent freight fate increase. “To contend that the present volume of traffic cannot stand this meagre increase is to chal lenge the very foundation of this immense western empire,”, the brief sets forth. “All our opponents admit that during the last five years the western railways have not earned a fair return. It had been con-j ceded that the western railroads have failed to secure the samel rate of return which the railways! in other districts in the United States have been permitted w cam. “The inadequacy of the pres ent earnings of the western car riers is admitted -even by our op ponents.’* SHERIFF CURRY TRIES OUT NEW LAUNCi Sheriff Roland Curry’s new $12,000 cruising launch the “Bar bara May” was given a little try out in the harbor yesterday and behaved very nicely, Sheriff Curry says he contemplates start ing on the maidcV. voyage of "Die Barbara May”, along about the middle of May, when the pretty boat will have her first experience at high sea. Tennessee Residents Plan Active Offensive Against Moonshiners j Over State TWO THOUSAND PER SONS PLEDGE SUP PORT IN ONE OF MAIN DISTRICTS PARIS, Tenn., April 26.—Secret plans for an active offensive against the moonshine clans of district 23, Henry county, went forward today while in the hilly fastness aforeboding silence brooded. s State officials in conference here yesterday formed the nucleus of their intentions, but it will be a day or two before the officers launch their drive against the “wild cat” strongholds. Mean while, the moonshiners “are sit ting back in the bushes and list ening, heavily armed and ner vous,” officers, said. It was hoped through the new offensive to end conditions which led to a virtual panic in the dis trict after the slaying April 18 from ambush of Thomas Evans, prominent fanner and law en forcement adherent. Officers who sought to enlist the aid the citizens of the district in an investigation of Evans’ death in duced threats that seven men would be killed if any -one was arrested for the crime. Seven men immediately fled their homes. Four of these sat in the confer ences here yesterday. They were still afraid to go back to their homes, although officers have as sured them they believe there is no further danger. Following the conference yes terday which was attended by District Attorney General G. C. Sherrod, two thousand persons gathered at a mass meeting and pledged their support for the law enforcement drive. Sty John H. Buchanan, who called the meet STOKES ARRIVES i FOR WEDDING HERE MAY 10 SON OF MILLIONAIRE TO WED MISS FLORENCE CRIT TENTON OF ISLAND CITY NEXT MONTH W. E. D. Stokes, Jr., has ar rived on the Mallory liner from New York and’ fa stopping* at the Hotel La Concha. The wedding of Mr. Stokes and Miss Florence Crittenton, daughter of the late Rev. C. R. D. Crittenton of St. Paul’s church, has been an nounced for May 10. The wedding ceremony will be performed at St. Paul’s church and afterwards the young couple will leave on the Henry R. Mal lory for New York. They will then motor down to Washington to visit relatives of young Stokes and from Washington they will motor to Boston, where they will board a large ocean going liner. The honeymoon will be spent in Europe, where they will remain six months visiting the different countries. Young Stokes was in Key West several weeks ago on his boat, the Calliope, and became engaged at that time to Miss Crittenton. He left fpr the north and during a storm his boat was wrecked off the coast of Charleston, causing the boat to drift down to Jackson ville. He has been in New York arranging his business affairs to prepare for his absence in Europe during the next several months. Mr, and Mrc-. Percy Cook Are Leaving L Tonight For New York Mr. and Mrs. Percy A. Ciok, owners of C--* l ;*leave to night on the rfraliory liner San Jicinte for New York, where they will remain for several months. Mr. Cook fa the salesmanager for Tropical Isles Sales Corpora tion with offices in the Garrison Park Building. Duval street. ing, exhorted thq audience to stand back of the offensive both morally and financially. Would Sell Property One of the exiled men has of fered his property for sale. He said he will not return to the dis trict for some time. Rev. Buch anan, who has been a leader in the dry crusade in this section for several years, and who has made many trips into the district, also declared he will not go back. He said he went there last week but on business and.not in Hte role of a peace-maker. He believes an other flare-up would come should he attempt to mediate. The twenty-third district lies in a valley between the Tennessee and the Big Sandy rivers. It is one of the wildest in Tennessee. Old timers who recall that illicit liquor has trickled through “wofms" in that section for many years in competition with the legi timate distilleries, declare that the flow has increased since prohibi tion went into effect, "they say a great portion of the liquor is transported on the'rivers. Raids by' prohibition officers are frequent, but on,account of the wilderness and the alertness of the moonshiners “scouts" offi cers frankly admit it is a hard task to round up the “wild cut ters. Officers estimate and yesterday that 75 per rent of the population of the district are either interest ed in making illicit liquor or are in sympathy with the manufac ture. They have been confront ed with a wall of silence ur their investigation of the death of Evans and believe that the moun tain folk fear to talk lest they meet the farmer’s fate. A fund of $1,500 was raised at a mass meeting last night to pav off a mortgage on the farm of Evans* widow. She. frith her small children, attended the meet ing.

The Cape Sable district of Monroe county was included in the territory outlined in that bill. 2. —While not in the least ques tioning Mr. Ladd’s denial that he is opposed to Monroe’s losing any of its territory, it is a FACT none theless that proponents of the Redland county project are zeal ously favoring and supporting his candidacy. That support has been felt, here, as only too many Key Westers are keenly aware. 3. —Senator Malone today is as unpopular in the Redland district as the Kaiser was in this country during the World War. The rea son for that unpopularity is be cause he once killed the pet mea sure of Redland residents and pointedly informed them that he. will continue to kill it as long as he is in the senate, should it in clude a single foot of the territory in Monroe county. 4. —lf Senator Maicne is re elected, there is barely one chance in a hundred that the Redlaiid county bill will be reintroduced in the legislature, because its advo cates have good teason to know positively he will kill it, while it is an abs>ute certainly that if Mr. Ladd is elected it will be reintro duced, because its advocates con fidently believe the chances are good for its becoming a law. Some of the advocates are satisfied with nclud.ng only the Cape Sable dis trict of Monroe in the proposed Redland county, as was the case in the bill that Senator Malone killed, while others favor taking in Key Largo also. The all-important question that we Key Westers must answer at the polls Tuesday, June 8, is this: “Can we afford tf take even the most remote chance of losing any of Monroe county’s territory?” (Paid political advt.) “Just a Toy” B Fifteen-year-old Frances Hee nan, who married Edward W. Browning, 51, wealthy New York realtor, is only another “toy" of the rich man’s, according to his former wife, Mrs. Nellie Adele Browning, shown above.

A. P. Turner Company in the interest of their plans for the construction of the long bridges that will form a part of Key West’s scenic highway to the mainland. A pretty picture of a portion of the road on Boca Chica adorns the front page of the cover, it is depicted in a deli cate shade of light green with an orange border. The cover material is of marbled azure and the printing is done in bronze blue. The colors blend beautifully and harmonize perfectly. 8 of the booklet carriers a picture of the architect’s draw, ing of the bridge, indicating the appearance that it will put forth when completed, and another page shows a pretty tropical scene done in natural colors. The subject matter contains in formation about the bridge build ing project, and gives convincing data about the volume of business to be expected from motorists, estimating the least number of cars passing at 500 per day, the tolls from which would make the immensely profitable, A word picture of the Florida keys of the future is presented in a convincing way and drawings are shown of each key along the line of the highway.

Said he thought the county judge at Brooksville was his friend, so he wired the judge stating their dilemma, and re quested that money be sent to their relief.

PAGE EIGHT Smoking Flappers Set Hundred Forest Fires Massachusetts Holiday Disgraced By “Petting Parties Making a Red Light District of the Crossroads,” Says Fire Commissioner. BOSTON, Mass., April 26. Smoking flappers and their escorts throwing away lighted matches and stubs, are blamed by William A. L. Bazeley, state commissioner of conservation, for starting near ly 100 forest fires in the common wealth that caused thousands of dollars loss damages Patriots’ day, the most recent Massachusetts holiday. The commissioner says that the modern youth are making a “red tight district of the crossroads that lead off from the main state high trays into the forests.” The commissioner made this known in an address before the Ktwmnis Club of Cambridge at the weekly luncheon at the Colonial Club. After referring to the com monwealth's program under Gov. Puller in the preservation of the forests, he created a sensation by presenting reports of state for esters showing that' hundreds of bobbed hah* girls and their escorts drive their cars into roads and paths off the main highway and indulge in extreme “petting parties,” during which they smoke and carelessly hurl lighted stubs and matches into the brush. The foresters also reported that they found that nearly 100 fires were started, by participants in these "petting parties,” the blazes spreading over a wide area and causing a heavy loss. In further describing the “pet ting bees,” the commissioner re ported that these young people carefully shut off all lights of the cars with the exception of the red tail light. Scores of red lights can be seen sometimes for hundreds of yards. Hence the byroads have been classified as “red light dis tricts” by the state foresters. The commissioner indicated that If persons are caught carelessly throwing lighted matches and stubs ia underbrush and starting forest fires, they will be prosecuted to full extent of the law. He also announced that in or der to speed up the program of Emulating forestry in the state, the public may purchase trees from state nurseries for the small remittance of 1 cent. eeeeeeeeee TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES t
