Any rejection
For Americans
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Virtually all
the natives in the north of Haiti have
refused to recognize President-elect
Dartiguenave and will support Gen.
Bobo, Gen. Morenci, one of the revo-
lutionists told Admiral Caperton, ac-
cording to a despatch to the navy de-
partment today.
The admiral cabled that his inter-
view with Morenci was without def
mite result. No open threats were
made against Americans but Morenci
promised nothing beyond the assur-
ance that the natives would be al
lowed to enter the villages for mar
keting. Most of the revolutionists
are gathered near Cape Haitien.
The cruiser Tennessee with $50 ma
rines will sail from Philadelphia
Thursday or Friday for Southern
waters" Her destination probably
will be Haiti.

The tourney has long been cele-
brated in song and story. Knights
have ridden far and fast for the lady
fair, since the days of King Arthur
and his Knights Of the Round Table,
but never in all of Pensacola's long
and varied history, filed as it is with
deeds of prowess and of valor, of
chivalry and of beauty, has the tour
ney been chosen for the amusement
of the people, until in this summer of
1915. The announcement of the APP
preaching tournament, to be held on
Friday, has occasioned an almost UNI
precedented amount of interest, and
much curiosity is expressed regard
ing the revival of this pretty old Gus
tom, much in vogue even now in many
parts of the country, especially in
North Carolina and Virginia, where
so many English customs survive.
No fair is ever held in these two
states without its tournament, and a
season is never deemed complete
without a s'tilt at tourney"
The tournament which is to be held
under the auspices Of the fair asso-
citation, and which was the inspiration
of Miss Fannie Caldwell, will be un-
der the direction of Mr.. George Owen,
and entries may be made by COM
municating with Mr.. Owen, whose tel
ephone is 694, and P. o. Box 137.
Entries may be made by any man
of twenty years or older, and there
are no restrictions as to locality, any
county in West Florida having the
privilege of entrant.
For those who have never seen 9
tournament, it may be we'll to give !
!. brief description of this pretty ole
custom.
Each knight who enters has thu
privilege of bestowing his colors upor

Sug gssts That
an Initiative Be
Given Governor
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Boston, Aug. William Hogges
Mann, former governor Of Virginia,
in an address at the opening session
of the governors conference here to-
day declared that while there was no
complete remedy for general legis-
lative ills conditions could be greatly
improved if the initiative was given
a governor to submit to the people at
a general election any measure pre-
viously recommended, but which the
legislature had failed to pass.
'The governor would know the OBJ
jections previously raised to the bill
and the reason it had not been
passed." said Mr.. Mann, "and it is
reasonable to suppose he would not
order submission of any bill not clear
ly promotive to the public good"
Mr.. Mann said the trend was for
closer relations between states. He
urged uniform laws on marriage, di-
vorce and health.
In extending welcome to govern
ors and former governors of more
than thirty states, Gov. Walsh of
Massachusetts said the nations
founders had hedged in the executive
with limitations tending to make him
figurehead but that it was becom-
ing generally understood that tho
business efficiency essential for good
government could be obtained only
by concentrating responsibility more
| than the fathers planned.
1T is no longer the prevalent doc
trine," he said, "that the executive
must sit aloof from Legislation; on the
contrary, the general expectation and
demand is that he, the one responsible
representative of the whole people
shall by all proper means press upon
the legislature the reforms which
public opinion Graves"

British version might not prove
true. Officials said, of course, the
United States will await Ger
many's side before decision.

dent to Be Investigated.
