THEY WERE AGAINST
THE GOVERNMENT
AND GOT THE HABIT.

Nor was the difficulty without its
tragic side, for suddenly shot rang
out through the hall, and George II.
Hervey stumbled through the door
and fell on the floor outside the din
ing room. Immediately after him en-
tered Sidney P. Levy, who explained
that he was the would-be assassin.
This incident completed the amuse-
ment program, which was one of the
best ever arranged by the committee.
After the political travesty, George
II. Hervey stated that Harry Maley,
of Chicago, will bring about 35 MEM
bers of the Chicago Athletic Club to
Pensacola on October %, and suggest
ed that the Rotary Club receive them.
President Fisher then appointed
committee composed of George H.
Hervey and /. H. Aiken to act on be-
half of the club in the reception OF
the visitors. The members of the
Athletic Club will probably be enter
tanned at the Country Club and taken
to their boat at the Perdido river,
whence they will proceed to the win
ter clubhouse at Seminole.
1t may have been Mexico, for revo-
luton in government was the sub
stance of the meeting of the Rotary
| Club Yesterday when no presidents
reign lasted longer than was neces-
sary for him to assume the duties OF
his office. The chaos in official circles
was caused by the lack of sufficient
chairs when debate was announced
with no question and no speakers, on k1
| the judges.
And Then Things Started.
The glaring lack of this necessary
equipment bred feeling of discomfort
with the president, who was prompt
~ deposed, and Harry Wagenheim
elected to succeed him. No sooner
had Rotarian Wagenheim donned the
robes of office, than George Hervey
circulated petition for his recall, but
failing to procure the necessary three
signatures, dropped the plan and de-
cided to tolerate the government until
the next election.
Another Pink Slip.
He was not given chance, though
for seeing the failure of Mr.. Hervey's
efforts, Harry Ball, who was also
"agin the government" moved that
President Wagenheim be impeached
on the ground that he was incapaci-
tated to administer the duties and
! obligations of his office. The motion
carried, and President Wagenhein
was forthwith deposed, whereupor
Rotarian j eudevine was invested with
the authority of administering the af
fairs of Rotary.
Wrong Food, Maybe.
The chaotic condition which ther
prevailed became the subject of few
remarks by Captain l. H. Aiken. whc
stated that he was at loss to under
stand the unusual behavior of a crowC
of men who are so characteristically
dignified, and suggested that a com
mittee of one composed of DR.. S. R
Mallory Kennedy be appointed to in
vestigate the matter and report a
once to the ruling president.
Feeding a Nut.
The committee then adjourned t.
the kitchen, where after a short in
terview with the chef, reported tina
Manager Hervey had issued orders t.
provide food for bunch of nuts an,
the menu consisted largely of squire
soup.
Changed Governments Again.
By this time there was PRACTICAL
no government, the club being in
state of anarchy, and Secretary Gun
. ningham nominated and re-electe
Ex-President Fisher, who declare
that the debate was called off.
