And 1t will be distinction no Florid-

legislature was apprOpriating funds for
those fairs, does seem they might have
gone little further and provided for
the jamestown Exhibit. Many believe
il both could not have provided
for, il would have been best to have had
Florida at the jamestown Exposition,
as 1t would probably have done the
whole Of Florida the most good. But,
then, there would not have been the OPP

Just why public moneys should be APP
propriated for local fairs, does not set
well on Taxpayers generally yet, and
the next legislature will probably be
asked for appropriations for them in a
dozen or more counties.

must be helped from somewhere he
added:

BATTLE RACES IN CAPITAL CITY
A COMIC OPERA WAR AGAIN
BREAKS OUT BETWEEN HON.
DURAN FACTIONS.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, May I.
rreSh hshtlng has occurred in Hondu-
ras, the latest being a battle in the
streets OF the capital city between the
factions of the victorious Honduran
rebels INC Il few weeks ago, helped
Nicaragua overthrow The
me lighting was brought on because
OF he unusual kind of
which the leaders had tried. Three OF
these leaders. Rosales, Bustillo and
Castro, agreed to AXE turns as presi-
dent, each serving fifteen rays. 1t is
veloped, however. that each during his
term attempted to strengthen his party
by dividing up the patronage where il
would do him most good.
Then the Fighting Began.
Finally the friends of Policarpo 30
nilla proclaimed BustiIlo provisional
president without any t~ifteen-day
clause, and the opposing factions did
the same for Rosales. Then fighting
began.
Badly aimed bullets showered upon
the houses, but caused only seven
deaths. a dramatic, almost comic ope-
IA, ending closed this battle, when
Gen. Lesucl r.. Davila. who is now
provisional president. rushed among
the combatants and persuaded their
leaders to stop the fighting.
Gunboats Must Stay.
Later another battle was started
near the town, but this time the Mica
raguan invaders marched up and liter
ally arrested Ill the troops of both fac.
tions. This effectively stopped tn"
fighting. Later Davila became presi-
dent with the faction leaders holding
the ministerial offices.
The N~iCaraSuanS continue to police
the capital and it is safe to say that if
president Zelaya withdraws his forces
from Honduras the strongest faction
will take possession and proclaim Il
president of its choice. Those same
conditions make ii necessary for the
American grnboats to continue indefi-
niiely their projection over foreign in
terests.
