THE PALM BEACH POST Page Nine Sunday Morning, May 1, 1932 LEWIS IS Difficult Days For Vanderbilts Reported by Cholly Knickerbocker Passengers Shot Turkeys From Train of Old Celestial Railway IE 5 advantages of Muriel's home. These are difficult days for the Vanderbilts, especially Muriel's uncle, "Mike" Vanderbilt. And, who can tell? Muriel may feel the pinch of the times, which would account for her desire to "let" Dudley House instead of "occupying" it. Muriel's father and stepmother, the William K. Vanderbilts, are lingering on in town at their Park ment building, and served as the first postoffice and first public school.

From 1889 to 1910 a U. S. weather buieau was operated on "Light House Hill." The wireless station was established in 1905. Real homesteading began in 1895 at about the time the great Flagler movement was getting well under way in the Palm Beach area. felltl (Continued from Page One) farmers.

That stuff may go over big in the middle west, but not here." The jury said the fiery closing argument of Honolulu's new prosecutor, John C. Kelley, had been effective. It was learned the jury, composed of seven Anglo-Saxons, three Chinese, a Bortuguese and a Hawaiian, had split strictly on racial lines on the first balloting. Within 30 minutes after receiving the case the jury stood seven for acquittal and five for conviction on second degree murder charges. During the next two days the Caucasians on the jury gradually swung over to the view of their colleagues.

The immediate battle to beat the conviction the four were accused of killing Kahahawai to avenge hi3 alleged participation in a criminal attack upon Mrs. Thalia Massie, wife of the naval officer will be the arguments for a new trial, and, if that fails, an appeal to the territorial supreme court. Montgomery Winn, of defense counsel, announced the basis of the appeal would be an attack on the manner in which the quartet was indicted on second degree murder charges. The defense contends this indictment was returned as the result of judicial coercion by Circuit Judge A. M.

Cristy, who latar was disqualified from presiding at the trial by a defense affidavit of prejudice. Winn said when Harry Franson, foreman of the grand jury, at first reported to Judge Cristy the grand jury had voted no bill against the four accused "Judge Cristy then went to the grand jury room and told them in effect that unless they found a true bill 'against the defendants there would bo anarchy in the community." Wilcox Qualifies For Congressional Contest J. Mark Wilcox, city attorney, officially qualifed to participate in the democratic primary as candidate for congress from the fourth district, by filing personally in San-ford with George W. McRory, secretary of the democratic congressional committee of Florida'. In the first radio speech of hi3 campaign over WQAM on Friday night at Miami, Mr.

Wilcox criticized the governmental economy in saving $20,000 a year by eliminating a necessary naval station at Key West, while spending millions dollars in an effort to enforce the unpopular Vols tead act. He reiterated his platform on the eighteenth amendment, in which he advocates repeal of the act to allow each state to control the liquor situation, and amendment to allow manufacture of light wines and beer with federal taxes on the same to relieve excessive income taxes. R. K. Lewis, above, representative from this district in the last of the state legislature, last night announced his candidacy to himself.

He seeks nomination in the democratic primary of June 7. I avenue apartment, but pass their week-ends at the extensive Vanderbilt estate in Northport, L. I. The other evening I caught a glimpse of the happy couple having one of their tete-a-tete supper parties at the casino in Central park. Let it be said to their credit that neither "Willie" nor Rose Vanderbilt has the exhibitionist complex that is so marked in certain other Vanderbilts.

Both shun the spotlight and always insist upon having the most inconspicuous table in any restaurant they honor with their presence. From across the seas comes the news that Lady Mendl, the former Elsie De Wolfe, has taken a quilled pen in her carefully manicured hand and is dashing off a cookbook! Those who should know whereof they speak tell me Lady Mendl's cook book is certain to be to the kitchens of the elect what Emily Price Post's tome on etiquette is to the drawing rooms of the fashionables. "The Elsie De Wolfe Cook-Book" is to be dedicated to "the harassed hostess" and while the recipes will not be numerous, they will be practical and have been tried out many times in Lady Mendl's cuisine in the Avenue D'lona, Paris, and at the more celebrated "Villa Trianon" in Versailles. How fleeting is fame! Only yesterday I was chatting with one of the close friends of the late Mrs. S.

Osgood Pell, and this same "close friend" was aghast when I mentioned Mrs. Pell's passing. "Betty" Pell breathed her last a fortnight ago up in Boston. In the years that have elapsed since she came out of the smoky city to wed S. Osgood Pell (who lost his life in an automobile accident out on Long Island in 1913) the former "Betty" Warden made rapid strides in society on both sides of the Atlantic.

Many erroneously labor under the impression the late Mrs. Pell was the mother of Isabel Townsend Pell, now one of the leaders of the American summer colony on the Island of Majorca in the Mediterranean. Isabel is a daughter of the late S. Osgood Pell by his first wife, now Mrs. Labouisse.

In recent years the late "Betty" Pell spent much of her time abroad and the heated spell usually found her prominent in the colony that gathers on the Adriatic at Venice. 1 cannot- understand why her death attracted so little notice. Fame is, indeed, fleeting. HGLL tr o. BELLE GLADE NEWS The very name "Celestial serves to envision an almost legendary past in which pioneer settlers sought to establish a community of picturesque towns.

Juno, southern terminus of the railroad, is the "lost city" of the east coast the glamour of its days as the first county seat passed into history. Venus and Mars never progressed beyond the stage of being mere names, so that Jupiter, northern end of the road, is the only remaining municipality served by the famous railway. The Celestial railroad came into existence in 1888-89 when the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railroad built a narrow gauge road at East Jupiter from a dock opposite the Jupiter Narrows on Jupiter river to Juno, then the county seat of Dade county. The tiny road formed a connecting link with a line down Lake Worth fiom Juno to Hypoluxo. Much in the spirit of the famous "Toonerville Trolley," the Celestial railway allowed its passengers to get out and shoot turkeys or pick Lowers, while the conductor waited, according to the pioneers of the time.

Owing to lack of foresight of the owners of the Celestial road, the Florida East Coast railroad took another route instead of ab sorbing the Celestial railway as H. M. Flagler at first wanted to do. For too high a price was asked for the narrow gauge road. In 1896, it ceased to operate.

The dedication this afternoon by the D. A. R. of a marker, commemorating the spot where the Celestial railroad tracks crossed the new Federal highway, serves to center attention on these early days of the community, 1 From the standpoint of real background the most picturesque history of the east coast is probably found in Jupiter, for 75 years the abode of white men, and for centuries a strategic point in Indian life. From an interesting history of Jupiter compiled by Elsie D.

Jackson, a panoramic picture of the community through the years has been obtained. Jupiter's celestial name is attributed to an anglicizing of a Spanish interpretation of the Indian name lloebay, which the locality bore as far back as 1082, according to the reports of a shipwrecked Englishman, Robert Barrows. The "Hoebay" influence clings in the name of Hobe Sound. Spaniards were supposed to have contracted the name into Jove, whence came the form Jupiter. Several large Indian mounds in Jupiter, notably the lighthouse site and "flea hill" opposite the wireless station, prove that Jupiter was a gathering place for the festivals of the Tesquwstas Indians, earliest settlers of Florida.

Then came the Seminoles in the eighteenth century and there are records of fighting at Jupiter in 1S38 during the noted Seminole war. A fort was established at Jupiter in 1855 on the site of the Henry S-Pennock property, and on May 14, 1855, 9,086 acres were set aside as a military reservation, later abandoned in 1880. In 1855-56 the lighthouse, which still serves as one of the most important on the Atlantic seaboard, was constructed, and placed in operation in 1857. During the Civil war renegades destroyed the light, which was re-established June (i, I860, and has maintained a record of never going out since that time except once for two hours. Captain Armour was named light-house keeper in and served for 40 years when his son-in-law, Captain Joseph Wells, present keeper, succeeded him.

In 1886 the Jupiter Inlet Life Saving station, with one keeper and six surf-men for the winter months, was established, the crew effecting many rescues. Until 1894 with the coming of the F. E. C. railroad, East Jupiter was the whole community.

The Carlin House, built by Captain Carlin in 1886 was the first building in the new settlement outside the govern 1NDY CASE (Continued from Page One) Little River, S. Willima J. Mc-Guire, of Detroit; Alban Wilpolt, of Kenosha, and J. A. Brown, alias Harry Roberts, of Jacksonville, Fla.

Three of the men, whom police say admitted being members of a liquor smuggling ring, were arrested Friday afternoon "on suspicion." The prohibition charge was made after a search of an apartment is said to have revealed records showing various liquor transactions. The other three were arrested SatJ urday, one of them believed to have been the fourth man who escaped from the group police met Friday. Police said several of the men admitted they were members of a group of 21 men recently arrested at Charleston, S. C. Inspector Petty said an attempt will be made Monday to verify the report that one or more of the men are under indictment at Charleston.

police last night could not find the name of Eddie R. Anderson in their records and nothing more could be learned of him at an early hour this morning. Police pointed out that the Norfolk inspector had said that there was no indication that Andprson was implicated in the Lindbergh case, but that the investigation was being conducted with the Lindbergh case in mind. Miller Will Carry Majestic Refrigerators An electric refrigerator with highest quality possible and yet in the low price range to meet all standard of living is the qualifications of the famous Majestic electric refrigerator, as outlined by W. E.

Miller, president ol Miller Radio Shop, in announcing that his firm would be local dealers of the product.

Mr. Miller stated that the Majestic factory is one of the largest in the world and is modern in every respect.

Rauler-son, for the office of county commissioner to succeed himself from the Jupiter-Kelsey City district. By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER Universal Service Society Editor New York, April 30. Whispers from Newport are to the effect that anyone possessed of $3,000 and a desire to pass the coming summer in a Vanderbiltian atmosphere can lease "Dudley House," Mrs. Muriel Vanderbilt Church Phelps' estate In the older section of the Rhode Is-t land watering place. One who should know whereof he speaks tells me Muriel has sent word from California announcing her willingness to lease "Dudley House" for the above mentioned sum, which, to my way of thinking, seems incredibly small when one takes into consideration the TODAY (Continued from Page One) ping bombs that frighten with their noise; tear gas that terrifies with its strangeness, and vhen necessary, machine gun bullets.

Something worse has been devised, the "voice from the sky," an apparatus in an airplane that will multiply the human voice three million times. It will talk and roar in the language of the barbarians that are to be frightened, warning, exhorting, and you can imagine how it will impress them. The voice from the sky might even speak Arabic and pretend to come from Mohammed himself. The Lost Atlantis, or something as good, may come back, thanks to volcanic disturbances in South America. Professor Hugo Mondello, a learned Italian geologist, says New Aland, perhaps an island continent as big as Australia, will rise in the South Pacific.

The coast of South America is rising, as are the submerged banks of the Atlantic, due to constant internal pressure. This is good news for future generations. Too much of the earth is now covered with water. We do not need so much. It is all the hands of nature now, but a time may come when science will know how to lift the depressed crust of the earth from the bottom of oceans, adding ten to twenty billion acres of fertile land to man's possessions.

That will have to be done carefully, to keep land and water balanced. The desert, perhaps could sop up enough water to make the ocean fit into smaller holes. Freah water, as the sun raises it into the clouds, could be poured onto deserts and farms, instead of going back to the oceans. There is enough water in oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers to cover the whole earth one mile deep. Derby Entry Hurt In Race Saturday Louisville, April 30.

For breakfast, luncheon or late supper, they always appear to good advantage. Plain or with a sauce, a delicate omelet is sure to There is no mysterious secret or indescribable trick connected with omelet making.

Anyone who is willing to measure accurately and take the trouble of cooking carefully can make a perfect omelet. To be sure certain precautions must be taken, but the rules are simple and easy to follow. Remember that an omelet must never be allowed to stand at any stage of its preparation. It must be mixed quickly, cooked at once and served on a hot dish as soon as it is done. With two types of omelets and their numerous variations the hostess has a wide choice.

The French omelet is made by beating the whole eggs while the puffy omelet is made by beating the whites and yolks separately. The French usually is served with a filling of some sort spread over It just before folding. The puffy omelet often is served with a jelly or sometimes a sauce is poured around after folding. However, there is no set "rule" regarding this anr' the types are used interchangeably. The puffy omelet seems a bit more impressive and interesting when served, but is no harder to make than the plain one.

French Omelet Four eggs, 3 tablespoons milk or water, tablespoon salt, teaspoon white pepper, 4 teaspoons butter. Beat eggs together until well mixed but not light. Add milk and seasoning and turn at once into hot omelet pan or iron spider thoroughly covered with butter. Pour omelet mixture gently into the pan, taking care not to scatter the butter. As bubbles form, prick them with a fork and stir the top lightly to keep smooth and insure even cooking.

As omelet becomes firm on the bottom, lift the edges gently with a fork and tip pan slightly to loosen omelet from the bottom. Cook over a low flame until firm. Place in a hot oven or under the flame for one minute to dry the top. When done, hold the pan by the handle and make a cut with spatula through the center at right angles to the handle. Be careful not to cut through the omelet.

Run spatula around edges to be sure they are free from pan. Place spatula under section of omelet nearest handle and fold over other half, tipping pan at the same time and sliding to a hot platter.
