Ed M. Heermans, newly electee
I manager of the Newport Chamber oi
f Commerce arrived in town yesterday
morning with his family and ar«
J guests at the Columbia.
Already Mr. Heermans has met i
number of the business men of New
port and with A. T. Hubly, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, spern
part of today visiting among New
port’s representative business mer
and professional people.
, “We saw Newport first at fiv<
^o’clock in the morning,” said Mr.
| Heermans to a representative of the
j Independent today, “and at that un
seemly hour we were favorably im
pressed. Your business houses, pub
^ j lie buildings and residence streets are
above the average for towns the size
Jof Newport. Later daylight inspec
tion of this enterprising little city
f and a face-to-face meeting with some
• jof the men of the city, only confirm
f th,e first impressions,
f ' “If we are to stay in Newport and
^ call this ‘our’ city, which it is our se
j rious intention to do, we must get a
place to live and get it quickly. ,^0
the local people who have thefc.bwn
splendid homes, a conception of'what
' it mOans to. the newcomer to face the
denial of home comforts is next to
impossible. The outlook for sequr
^ ing comfortable quarters looks’ un
j promising, but the scarcity of houses
and apartments speaks Tjtelfr for the
prosperity of Newport^-everything
seems taken.
r ‘‘It is toi early to speak of-?hny. work
here,”. Mr. Heermans continued,..“for
we also have to find a home for the
Chamber of Commerce and'equip it.
But I cannot resist saving that I
n ver met a more wide-awake set of!
business men anywhere than I have
here and their cordiality is quite
western in its spontaneous hearti
ness.”

train at Fitzgerald a few minutes1
previous, he got in his automobile
and with his deputy, Charles Hogan,
went to Fitzgerald, where he took
Scease in custody. The man had two
suitcases which yielded 116 pints of
whiskey und two quarts of wine.
The officers found Scease attempt

the sheriff promptly appreft-nded
him. He was brought to Newport
and placed in jail, kept overnight,
and this morning made $500 bond for
his appearanme in Justice of the
