THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE GOES
ON RECORD.
Motions to Indefinitely Postpone Bills
Providing for System of Initiative
and Referendum and Pro-
hibitiOn are Tabled.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 7.-(Special.)-
The Florida House today placed itself
on record as favoring two measures
that have heretofore been regarded as
extremely radical.
In the morning the debate was con-
tinued on resolution providing the
system of initiative and referendum
with a motion from the Chairman on
Constitutional Amendments to inden-
nitely postpone.
The motion to postpone was tabled
and the bill passed to the Engrossing
Committee. Under a rule of the House
measures are debated on second read
nitely postpone are generally conclu-
slve.
Practically the same action was
taken at the afternoon session on a
measure for State prohibition. The de-
bate on this measure was heated and
the vote against indefinite postpone
ment was AS to II. The Senate had
but one session today.
The county division fight is expected
to come before the Senate tomorrow,
and delegations are in Tallahassee to
see how it goes. The Pinellas County
division bill passed the House last week
and at that time 1t was understood that
no fight would be made in the Senate.
but the Tampa trades bodies have since
passed urgent resolutions for Senator
Crane to oppose division.
The decision of this issue in the SEN
ate will practically determine the sew
eral other county division measures
now pending.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
INTEREST OF MOBILE COUNTRY
CLUB AROUSED.
Games VIII BE Played ON Schedule
Throughout the Summer and
Per Centage Tables VIII
Re Kent.

Mobile, May 7-(Special 1.-The ten
mis- finals in mixed doubles which were
scheduled for yesterday afternoon at
the Country Club were postponed until
Saturday afternoon, owing to the Illness
Of one of the players.
This final contest, which q for the
Heron cup. is to be played between the
winning teams in the elimination con-
tests of last week. Mr.. G. McCorvey
and Miss Henrietta McPhillips, and T.
McCorvey and Mrs. Inge Selden.
Though no definite plans have as yet
been settled upon, 1t can be stated that
there will be begun a new series of ten
mis- tournaments for the mems teams of
doubles. the games to be played on the
following dates: May Is, June l, Is. 20.
and July 4.
At the present time 1t appears that
the contestants have decided with the
committee that 1t will be the best plan
to play on a percentage basis, sched-
ule of games and series being made out
by which each of the six probable
teams will have played, at the close.
each of the other five. This will do away
with the elimination contests in which,
quite often, the better teams may he
put out at the beginning, giving them
no show at the finals. and not really
having determined that they are not
worthy of entering into the final con-
tests. In the plan OF percentage basis
each team will play each of the others,
O true record OF games will be kept, the
percentage will be calculated Just the
same as in baseball, and at the end the
teams will stand in positions more near
ly relative to each other.
Further. il Is thought that at the end
on July 4. the last day of the series, a
final series will be played between the
two teams at the head of the table for
the prize and the championship, while
the two or three teams at the end will
be given a try in series of finals for
consolation prize.
Tennis is rapidly coming into it's owr
at the Country Club, more devotees be-
ing found each day. This lends color
to the belief that six or seven teams
will be competing In the mems doubles
There are also plans on foot for mixed
| doubles. mems singles and there may
yet develop a series of singles for the
| ladies.
And, tennis is not all there is to these
| tournaments. From those who are the
| most interested comes the news that or
! each of the tournament days, as giver
| in the foregoing, there will be a lunch
| con after the games. which will be fol.
| lowed by a dance at the Club. o.
! course 1t is well known that the Coun.
try Club never forgets the Fourth OF

4 ais are played. according to present

be enjoyed by all the members of tbs

ending of the summer tennis tourna'

of Inadequate Facilities, and
In Satisfied With the
Arrangements Made

Decatur, May Especial Grand
Secretary H. l.. Weaver of Huntsville
of the Grand Lodge of Independent Or
der Odd Fellows. WAS in Decatur to-
day He came to investigate a report
which had been sent to Grand Master
w. M. Crawford at Montgomery, that
Decatur was unable to take care of the
meeting of the Grand Lodge next week,
that there was not sufficient homes for
the delegates, that the hotels in the De-
caturs were asking 81 a day for rooms
for this occasion and suggested that
the meeting of the Grand Lodge be
changed to some other place.
Secretary Weaver went over the mat
ter thoroughly and left feeling salts
fed that the Decaturs were amply able
to accommodate all the members of the
Grand Lodge. or even more. He fur
Their learned that the hotels were not
asking 81 a day for rooms, but that the
hotel rates would be as reasonable here
as in any other city of like hotel ac-
commodations.
The local Arrangement Committee au-
thorized the statement that there is
not any truth whatever in the report
that the Decaturs were unable to take
care of the Grand Lodge.
The Grand Lodge Is made up of about
500 officers and delegates The Com
mittee on Arrangements has secured ac-
commentators III the HolelS anu III pTl-
vate homes for 900, and they are still
securing homes. so that all who come
will be cared for.
The members OF the order of the two
Decaturs are Indignant over the report
which went to the Grand Master. When
the Grand Lodge meets mere it is quite
probable that local members of the or
der will ask for an investigation of the
report.
During the meeting of the Grand
Lodge, the members of the Epworth
League of the First Presbyterian
Church will serve lunches of all kinds
