The morning session of the federal
court was occupied yesterday with
case of Joe Johnson, charged with
selling liquor on the government res
ervation. When Johnson was first
arraigned Tuesday morning, he en-
tered plea of not guilty, but yes
terday he withdrew the plea and was
fined 5000. He paid the fine i'm
mediately and was released.
The only other case to go to jury
at the morning session was that
against Lewis Sassanett and Frank
Slaughter, both charged with illicit
distilling. Assistant Aattorney Beall
prosecuted for the government and
the jury returned verdict of guilty.
In the afternoon the principal case
to come up before Judge Sheppard
was that against H. K. Alexander,
charging him with conducting a
gambling table on government prop
erty. Alexander entered a plea of
guilty and was fined 500 and to
serve a term of thirty days.
The only other case to come before
the court yesterday was that against
Lewis Wilkerson, young negro man
who was charged with breaking into
and stealing from the branch post

NAVY BOY TOO
FAST FOR QUINA;
GOOD BOUTS SEEN
MATCH BETWEEN LAWRENCE
AND QUFsA BEST YET WIT
MESSED, ALTHOUGH CoHRON-
LEE FIGHT WAS INTEREST
ING.

"Now you see it, and now you
don't" That's what happened to Kid
Quina last night every time he took
careful aim and swung vIciously at
Joe Lawrence. Had the latter exer-
cised poor judgment to stand still a
minute Tor fractional part thereby,
the Mobile lad might have put him
to sleep, but the boy from the North
Carolina won the title of the vanish
ing kid" and also seemed able to
land on Quina almost at will. Al
though it was ten-round no-decision
exhibition, no doubt was left in the
minds of those who witnessed decid-
eddy the prettiest and cleanest bout
which has so far been pulled off at
the Business Mems Athletic Club, as
to the winner. Quina was game and
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-05-06

was clever, but the fans almost
unanimously gave the decision to the
navy.
This bout, as were the others on
last nights card, was refereed by
Manager Jack OLeary, of the club.
Although the interest was very keen,
perfect order was maintained and ev-
erybody left in 2 good humor.
Pete Shaughnessy, a we'll known
local favorite, was introduced before
the fight and challenged the winner.
The date for this meeting has not
yet been announced.
Almost as interesting and good as
the final, was the semi-final between
Kid Cohron, of this city, and Freddie
Lee of Mobile. Lee had good deal
of weight on Cohron and considera-
bly, more punch, but Cohron was
much too fast for him and used his
science to good advantage. There is
little doubt that had decision been
rendered it would have gone to the
home product.
The entertainment opened with a
battle royal between five negro boys
who were introduced as the Johnson
brothers, but did not last long, as
Manager O'Leary cleared the ring as
soon as they began "stalling."
The Kennedy twins entertained the
crowd with a two-round contest while
the fighters were getting ready.
These youngsters are always ready
to mix it and never fail to please.
"Black Tom" was scheduled to set
tie a dispute with another colored
"gemman," but failed to show up.
Toms last engagement, which was
with Sailor Davis, did not terminate
in a manner calculated to leave him
ring struck.

The German government must en-
phatically repudiate the assertion.
The German government, however,
thinks it of little avail to enter into
details in the present stage of affairs,
more particularly as the government
of the United States omitted to sub
stantiate the assertion by reference
to concrete facts.

FAIR DIRECTORS
DISCUSS PLANS
OF EXHIBI ton
REPORTS SHOW WORK is WELL
UNDER WAY AND PROSPECTS,
BRIGHT FOR A BIG FAIR.

At meeting of the Escambis
County Fair Association held yester-
day afternoon in the Office of Direc-
tor Lillard, the reports of the various
committees were received by the
board of directors and plans made
for the fair next fall.
The first business to come before
the body was the report of Chair
man Geek of the premium list COM
mittee. Practically all of the work
of this committee has been accom-
phshed and the report was accepted.
AS soon as the work can be done it
is expected that the premium list will
be published at an early date.
DR.. Hutchinson, president of the
Escambia County Poultry Associa-
ton, came before the board to sub
NIT a proposition to grant him the
care and handling of the poultry ex-
hlDits. In the event that the matter
y decided giving him this duty, it
is expected that the competition will
then be opened to a greater number
than heretofore.
Chairman Clutter, of tie amuse-
ment committee, stated that he would
like short time longer before re-
porting to the board as he had now
under consideration several PROPOSE
tons from amusement companies and
he had yet to hear from them before
final arrangements could be made.
He said that as soon as this was done
he would render the board a de-
tailed statement of his work.
r. w. Goodhart, chairman of the
committee on cooperation with
farmers, submitted his report which
dealt chiefly with the proposals for
honorary membership in. the body.
The following were selected as hon
orary members: Archie Benton, W.
G. Clifford, T. L. Atkinson, Geo. E.

In presenting his report Mr.. Good
hart stated that it was the desire
of the committee to have these mem
bers cooperate with them in their
visits to their precincts, and to do
this effectively, it would be necessary
for them to notify them in advance
of the date on which the committee
would arrive.
Following the reports, proposals
for membership were then heard and
resulted in the nomination of Harry
r. Cook of the Pensacola Journal,
and James A. Emmett of the News,
to the board of directors.
The meeting Vas one of the most
successful ever held by the fair asso-
citation. Much enthusiasm was shown
among the members and all pledged
themselves to work increasingly for
the success of the fair,

to take turn seriously threatening
maintenance of peace between the two
nations.
GAS far as lies with the German
government it wishes to prevent
things from taking such a course.
The German government, moreover,
is prepared to do its utmost to con-
fine operations of the war for the rest
of its duration to the fighting forces
of the belligerents, thereby also in
surfing freedom of the seas, a prin-
ciple upon which the German govern
ment believes, now as before, that it
is in agreement with the government
of the United States.
"The German government, guided
by this idea, notifies the government
of the United States that German
naval forces have received the fol-
lowing order:
In accordance with the gen.
eral principles of visit and search
and the destruction of merchant
vessels recognized by interna-
tional law, such vessels, both
within and without the area de-
clared naval war zone, shall not
be sunk without warning and
without saving human lives unless
the ship attempts to escape or
offer resistance
"But neutrals cannot expect that
Germany, forced to fight for existence,
shall, for the sake of neutral inter-
ests, restrict the use of an effective
weapon if the enemy is permitted to
continue to apply at will methods of
warfare violating rules of interna-
tional law. Such demand would be
incompatible with the character of
neutrality, and the German govern
ment is convinced that the govern
ment of the United States does not
think of making such demand,
knowing that the government of the
United States repeatedly declares
that it is determined to restore the
principle of freedom of the seas, from
whatever quarter it has been vio-
lated.
Accordingly the German gov
eminent is confident that in con-
sequence of the new orders is
sued to the naval forces, the gov
eminent of the United States will
also now consider all impediments
removed which may have been in
the way of mutual cooperation
toward restoration of the freedom
of the seas during the war, as sug-
gested in the note of July %,
1915, and it does not doubt that
the government of the United
States will now demand and in
sist that the British government
shall forthwith observe the rules
of international law universally
recognized before the war as are
laid down in the notes presented
by the government of the United
States to the British government
December %, 1914, and Novem-
Der 5, 1915.
SHOULD steps taken by the govern
ment of the United States not attain
the object it desires to have the laws
of humanity followed by all belliger-
ent nations, the German government
would then be facing new situation
in which IL must reserve to itself
complete liberty of decision.

this opportunity to renew TO the
American ambassador assurances of
