No. 157 CITY COUNCIL ABOLISHES SERGEANT OF POLICE JOB CITY ATTORNEY RULES NO PROVISION OF LAW AUTHORIZING SUCH OFFICE The City Council met in regular session last night at the City Hall when several matters of much im portance were disposed of during the evening’s session. Principally among the many] subjects brought up for discussion, was that of recent appointments made by the mayor and city council for the position of ser geant of police. Everett Rivas was appointed sergeant some time ago by Mayor Curry, with the council rejecting this appoint ment a short time after when they made an appointment to the posi tion themselves, selecting Harry Roberts. The question as to who had the authority in making the appoint ment was settled for '.he time be ing when the opinion of the city attorney was read in answer to a request for same by the mayor. The city at.orney, in the opinion rendered, which was read by the elerk, stated that it was his opinion that neither the mayor nor the ci y council have right to appoint sergeant of police for the reason that there is no valid provision of lew authorizing such an office in the city. In accordance with this ruling of the attorney, ihe position of sergeant of police is thereby auto matically abolished, it being order- i ed by the council last night that: boh men be reimbursed for their services up to yesterday. The city planning and zoning ©ttrtomce, which Would havr* Tre ated c special commission to be composed of five persons to be •elected by the city council, was read cn its second reading and,! after considerable d'seussion, was; killed. A communication was read from the Board of Public Works rela tive to the paving of certain streets ©f the city. It was ordered that the Board of Public Works pioceed with the paving work as outlined in a previous ordinance drawn by the city for these im provements. A communication was received from Mrs. Emma Wilson relative t‘> the enclosure of an alley on. Fleming street which, as was stat- 1 ed, cut off the properly of her mother, Mrs. Whitmore Finder, in the rear of that street. The mat ter was referred to the ci.y attor ney. A communication in the form of an ordinance was presented by Mr. Grooms cf the Key West Elec tric Company, requesting the city to ndop same in abandonment of the street cur service which was discontinued yesterday. This mat ter brought forth considerable dis cussion. and it was decided that he council meet with the city at torney at some time to be selected f primary, in the furtherance of their campaigns, according to the third expense statements, filed with the secretary of the state.

FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1926. REDS LOSERS IN BASEBALL PAST TWO DAYS GIANTS TRIM BROOKLYN IN SPECTACULAR GAME PLAY ED YESTERDAY BY SCORE OF 5 TO 3 ASSOCIATED PRESS HEAD QUARTERS, July 2.—John Hen dricks, who has expressed the be lief that his Cincinnati club will win the National League pennant, perhaps is wavering a hit. The Reds have lost twice in two days and now lead the league by a margin of three and one-half games over the Cardinals. Possibly Jack did not figure on Hack Wilson, who accomplished Cincinnati’s downfall yesterday with a home run for Chicago in the eleventh. The score was 2to 1, and the pitching victim Pete Donohue. And there came a threat from another quarter when the Pirates broke their losing streak that had lasted for eight games. Five runs in the seventh put the Pirates ahead and they down the Cardinals 7 to 3. The Giants edged back into the .500 class by beating Brooklyn 5 to 3, with another defeat for Jess Petty. A seventh inning rally gave the Boston Braves a 3 to 1 verdict over Philadelphia. Washington and New York divi ded a double-header in American League, M'ark Koenig winning the first game for the Yankees, 3 to 2, with a triple off Walter John son in the ninth with Combs on base. Lou Gehrig of New York hit a homer in this game. Much hard hitting featured the second game, Gorlin tallying a homer and Bueky Harris a brace of run counting doubles. The Athletics fell before the Red Sox 10* to 5, nine pitchers working in a three hour struggle. Two runs in the ninth brought the St. Louis Browns from behind to defeat the White Sox four to three. Mellillo's triple accounted for the winning run. Falk, Chi cago, and Sisler, St. Louis, had Koine runs. Manush got a home run and two triples and a double for Detroit, But hw team was beaten b'J a Cleveland rally. The Indians gath ered nine runs in the last two Innings. The score was 11 to 6.

BOXING BOUT AT ATHLETIC CLUB TONIGHT “CHICK” MILLER OF CHICAGO AND YOUNG TREVOR OF KEY WEST IN MAIN EXHI3I j TION Thrilling glove battles are on the program for tonight at the Athletic Club arena when that as sociation will stage a 2G-round card that calls for a ten-round lightweight bout with Douglas “Young” Trevor, of Key West, and “Chick” Miller, of Chicago, as Lho opponents. It is a card of glittering pos sibilities. Knockouts apparently loom in virtually every bout. Miller has openly boasted he will stop Trevor, while Trevor comes back with the retort that if the referee ’does any counting it will be over the form of the Chicago lad who recently whipped him in a Miami ring. Trevor will be facing the crisis of his fight career. He must whip Miller tonight to again get back in favor of the fight fans in Flor ida. Technical knockouts in two recent bouts have been given Miller over Trevor. One of these went to Miller after Trevor had broken his wrist and the other was Miller’s when Trevor, was at tacked with cramps in a Miami ring. In both these fights, the Key West boy was leading with a safe margin. Miller, Trevor readily admits, has a pair of educated mitts. He boxes like a master. Being strong ly built, quick enough, and having close judgment of speed, position and time, he is a corking hitter. Miller uses his left hand to stab and annoy and make openings. He can also force with that left. The Key West lad also has a grfat left for either head or body, and a formidable right. Regard less of the outcome it is going to be one thrilling battle. Battling Ponce and Kid Garcia in the semi-final are bound to give the fans plenty to talk about. They are home town rivals. In fact, they come from the same haunts and neighborhood. Each is keen to win. Two corking good preliminaries have been booked. v PREPARING FOR TENNIS MATCHES NEW ORLEANS, July 2.—Ex pert racquet wieldera from every slate in (he district, including sev eral former title holders, today prepared to come to New Orleans to compete in the twenty-first an- j nual senior southern lawn tennis tournament.

AMERICAN EXPANSION One hundred and fifty years ago on July Fourth of this year, when the American republic was born, and for quite a number of years follow ing that date, the idea commonly prevailed that it was very doubtful if this country woud ever ex tend into the wilderness then existing west of tho Allegheny mountains. A great crisis came in the history of this country, when the question arose whether we would buy the territory known as Louisiana, which in cluded most of the lands between the Mississippi river and the Rocky Mountains, except the state of Texas. i When this vast territory was bought in the administration of President Jefferson, for $15,- 000,000, perhaps the most important step toward America’s greatness was taken. That vast terri tory, including the rich states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, lowa, Minnesota, the two Da kotas, Montana, and much of Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, was obtained at a cost of two and a half cents an acre. It had previously been doubted, even if the vast territory of the central and western part of the country were ever populated by the white race, whether it would be possible for one govern ment to control so vast an extent. It was an act of superb faith when the old forefathers decided that they were going to have this vast territory and settle and colonize it. If they had allowed this chance to obtain this great domain to go by, it might quite likely have grown up a foreign country, wars might have oc curred between those people and the original United States, development would have been hin dered, and our condition would be far inferior to what it is today. The people owe an incalculable debt to the far sight of the founders of the nation, for their action on this question. ROYAL ESTATES SAVED Temporarily, at least, the lands, palaces and castles of the former Kaiser and German prince have been saved from entire confiscation at the hands of the present government of the German Republic, through the failure to secure sufficient popular votes for a bill providing such confiscation, in a referendum held on June 20. In order to pass the law it was necessary that 20,000,000 votes in its favor should be cast, while the count showed only approximately 14,889,000 for the measure. Only about 540,000 voted against the law, but this was not particularly significant owing to the peculiar provision that an affirmative majority of all qualified votersf w*s /required, whether they voted or not. The result of the referendum does not mean, however, that the former rulers are to retain their property intact. Many who clid not vote for abso lute confiscation are in favor of holding a large part of these lands and their appurtenances for the public use. The next step will be to arrange a compromise measure, whereby the state will re tain a part of these properties. Such a measure would undoubtedly be just. It is unreasonable that the former rulers, whose folly brought such a calamity upon the German people, should continue to fully enjoy the vast fortunes accumulated at the expense of their former sub jects. Asa manifesto of the Center Party puts it, "the consequences of a lost war and impoverish ment must be borne by the princes along with others.” WOMEN AND NEW CLOTHES The cloihing specialist of the Texas Agricul tural and Mechanical college thinks that new clothes make women feel more comfortable and self possessed and that they act as a physical tonic. She thinks that much of the self consciousness and awkwardnes which many women feel comes from the feeling that their clothes are not right. Cynical people may remark that the average woman does not need that advice, as she already spends more than she can afford on her clothes. Still, when you consider how women sacrifice for theii families, it is hard to feel that the average '"Oman is extravagant If some husbands could cut out wasteful ways in which they spend money, heir wives would often be able to afford new gar ments that would give them more confidence and contentment. AMERICAN WOMEN THE BEST Otto Kahn, noted financier and patron of the arts, paid a wonderful tribute to the women of this country, in an address given before a club meeting in New York. He eaid the United States produce* the finest type of womanhood in the world. If the women of America have developed into a superior type, it is because in this country they have been considered the equals of men. In the countries where they were restricted to an inferior position, they felt restricted to inferior tasks and pursuits, and have never developed all of their personality. A great many will court the friendship of an ar.gr 1 just to get to borrow bis wings.

Smith TV. Yf f’rook hart showed a ke?n Inter eat in the Investigation o f Pennsylvania Republican senatorial primary expenses the minute he landed In Washington, from out in lowa, the other day. He made for the committee room, where the inquiry was in progress at the time, straight from the Union Railroad Station, before even going to his hotel. H? got a royal reception from some of the committee members, too. Senator Jim Reed, the chairman, though not of Brookhart’s politics, Is about as far out of harmony with his party management as the colonel Is with his. A terrific scrapper him self, thoughts of the fight the lowan had just, been putting up In hla home state were the very thing to thrill him to the core. Senator Bob La Foliette and Brook hart are fellow Insurgent Republi cans. The colonel's and Senator McNary s hearts beat as one on the subject of farm relief. It was a joyful reunion. The in vestigation had to wait while hla friends slapped the recently nominat ed ex senator on the back, congratu lated him and pumped his hand.

THE inquiry's kick for Brookhart probably lay in the comparison which he doubtless drew between the men/ily $3900 he found sufficient to finance h:s successful lowa pri mary campaign, and the couple of millions or more spent In Pennsylva nia—in vain, at that, on the part of two of the three candidates. Brookhart's political methods, however, are different from those of the effete east. He requires no money to pay others to help him fight All the fighting It s necessary to have done In h s behalf he's quite capable of doing for himself, at next to no ex pens* MOTHERS Watch for symptoms of worms in your children.

FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1926. STRAND TODAY ANI£ TOMORROW Film Actors Drink Gallons of Rare Wines A world traveler could have wandered onto a set at the United Studios in Hollywood recently and believed himself suddenly trans ported to the dining room of the Hotel Claridge on the Champs Elysees in Paris. Hundreds of correctly attired guests had before them rare foods such as the Claridge boasts; cham pagne corks popped; French wait ers hurried from table to table; a large orchestra played Paris’ cur rent musical hits. It was a cafe scene in “Kiki,” Norma Talmadge’s new starring vehicle which shows at the Strand Theatre today and tomorrow. Every detail was supervised by French exprets, among them Jean Bertin, a Paris theatre manager and artist, who assisted Director Clarence Brown and Art Director William Cameron Menzies during j the filming of “Kiki.” Miss Talmadge, as a Paris street gamin who gets her first taste of gay life in this cafe, drank enough “prop” champagne to make her dizzy and had to be tak en “home” by Ronald Colman. Hundred of bottles of de alcholfzed “wines and liquors” were consumed during the scene. The bottles, glasses, silver cham pagne pails and French waiters were real enough, but the day as a whole was strictly ala Volstead. Produced by Joseph M. Schenck for First National, “Kiki” was made under the general manage- i ment of John W\ Considine, Jr. Miss Talmadge’s supporting cast includes Gertruda Astor, I Marc MacDermott, George K.: Arthur, Mack Swain, Erwin Con nelly, William Orlamond and Frankie Darro.

PAGE EIGHT STATISTICIAN TERMS FLORIDA MAN’S STATE OR. HARPER, GEOGRAPHER, STATES IN SOME WAYS IT IS AN UNDEVELOPED OR FRONTIER STATE (By Aourliilrd I’rraa) TALLAHASSEE, Fla., July 2. —Florida has always been a man’s state. This was the assertion of Dr. R. H. Harper, local geographer and statistician, who, after a study of the recent 1925 census, found that inales still predominate. In the whole state in 1925, the statistician found from the census figures, males constituted 49.5 per cent of the pppulation under 21, and 52.4 per cent of the adult population. Florida, Dr. Harper states, is still in some ways an undeveloped or frontier state. For that reason, he adds, the state and most of its counties have always hadmore men than women, even in the de cade or two following the Civil War, when women were in the ma jority in the neighboring common wealths. Four couniies of the state, Leon, Pinellas, Union and Hamilton, the statistician discovered in the 1925 census figures, reported a pre dominance of females in the white population. In Bradford, Volusia, Holmes, Escambia, Orange, Ala chua, Duval, Jackson, Suwannee, Monroe, Columbia, Gadsden, St. Johnr- and Washington counties, in ouler named, however, women constituted 49 per cent of the wbite adults. Males are decidedly in the ma jority in Hendry, Glades, Dixie and Oilier counties, according to the statistician. Hendry was given 68 per- cent of men among the whites; Glades, 59.3 per cent; Dixie, 60.7 per cent, and Collier, 65.9 per cent, or nearly twice as many men as women. Continuing, the statistician analyyzes the situation with re gard to the population of males and females as follows: Men Arrive First “When anew country is being settled up, men in the prime of life usually arrive first, and their mothers, wives, sisters, children, and so forth, come later, if at all. “The proportion of women is nearly always larger in cities than in rural districts, probably because the rough work in mines, forests and on farms is suited to men only, and there are now so many cleri cal occupations open to women in cities. The four counties mention ed as conaining the largest pro portion of men have no cities with as many as 1,000 people, and lum bering, stock-raising and construc tion work of garious kinds are their principal industries at pres et: ,l un: ing only cities which had over 2,500 inhabitant in 1925, the following had more females than males in the white population of all ages, adults not being sep arated in the census table for cities, beginning with those having the greatest excess. "De Land,, Tallahassee, St. i Petersburg, Kissimmee, Gaines-j ville, Winter Haven, Orlando, Lake City, Pensacola, Bartow, St. Aug- j ustine. Jacksonville, Plant City, Lake Worth and Ochlh. They are just one-third of the total cities of that size. "At all ages the proporiion of females is nearly everywhere a lit tle larger among negroes than among whites, and it happens that most of the counties which have over 48 per rent of women among ihe white adults have more negro women than negro men. And nearly all the cities just mention ed, and about half the remaining one of similar size, or over half tha cities of 2.500 inhabitants and over, have more females than males in the negro population." j KEY WEST TIN SHOP JAS.

The county engineer 'reported last night that 22 pieces of decking on this bridge had been replaced with sound timber.
