CONTEST IN 27 COUNTIES.
Knott is Determined to Have the
Votes Accurately Counted
lJacksenville Metropolis, 2sth)

(Jacksonville Metropolis, 28th)
A recount of the vote in certain
precincts in at least 27 counties of the
state will be asked for before the
proceedings which are now being in
stituted by counsel in behalf of w. v
Knott, contender for the gubernator-
ial nomination which was awarded to
Sidney j. Cats, Monday afternoon by
the state canvassing board, shall have
all been filed. So announced Attorney
7. B. Adams, of the Knott counsel,
this morning.
Recounts in Hamilton, Madison and
Suwanee counties and in two precincts
in Leon county have already been au-
thorized and the Knott headquarters
express the belief that if the ques-
toned precincts in these counties
alone are recounted he will have
enough votes to overcome the 260 vote
lead accredited to Mr.. Cats by the
state board. However, it is not the
intention of the counsel for Mr.. Knott
to stop there, but a fight for every
single vote in the state will be made
where it is believed that irregulari-
ties of any kind exist.
The worst irregularities are alleged
in Polk, Holmes and Hillsborough
counties, where it is alleged that sew
eral hundred non-democratic voters
evidently cast vote. It is cited that
the registration books in these coun-
ties show certain numbers of demo
cratic voters in each precinct and that
the total vote in number of in
stances was far in excess of the num-
Der which should have been authoriz-
ed to vote under the law. 1t is alleg-
ed that large number of socialists
and republicans took part in the cleo
ton in these counties.
Mr.. Knott only wants the votes
which were cast for him in the pri.
mary election. These he proposed te
see are properly accredited to him
and he believes that when these vote:
are given him, as entitled, he will cas-.
lily be the nominee of the party by
several hundred votes to spare" said
Mr.. Adams.

At American Headquarters in
San Antonio
FOR THE INEVITABLE CONFLICT ARE GOING FOR
WARD UNDER HIGH PRESSURE
ASSOCIATED Press)

San Antonio, June 29.-Army off
GERS at Gen. Funston's headquarters
continued their work today of shap-
ing the Increasing army for possi-
bic offensive. The notification that
Carranza has ordered the release of
the American prisoners didn't lower
the high pressure under which those
in command have been working the
past ten days. The opinion is wide
spread that the release of the colored
troopers hasn't altered the basis rea-
sons for the mobilization of great
army on the border. The danger of an
open break with Carranza troops is
not greatly lessened, officers believe.

THE HOME GUARD
A Good Turnout and Promise of Eff
cient Aid in Time of Need

The home guards gathered at the
armory last night, 80 out of the 1853
and organized for the purpose of de-
fendinf the city in any emergency
Captain John NJ Graham presided. It
was decided that the guard would re-
main intact until a military company
can be formed and mustered into the
national guard of the state. A new
military company can not be formed
until the Rifles, now at Black Point,
are mustered into the federal service.
The home guard will meet once a
month, the second Wednesday. In the
meantime, if any of the young men OF
the city wish to do some drilling and
learn the fundamentals of tactics,
Captain Harris of the w. O. w
company, will be glad to have them
drill with his men. Capt. Harris was
last night elected second lieutenant OF
the home guard. The non-commis-
stoned officers will be appointed by
Captain Graham.
In the event of an emergency call
ing for the services of the home guard
the fire bell will be tapped 20 times,
and repeated. The members of the
guard will mobilize at the armory,
bringing with them whatever arms
and ammunition they possess. Those
who do not have guns and ammuni-
ton can borrow some if necessary.
DIR. Van Hood last night offered the
use of several guns, and Mr.. D. E. Nc
Iyer told Captain Graham that here
were about 40 guns with ammunition
at McIver & MacKay's that could be
obtained in case of necessity. Mr.. Nc
Iver thought that the other hardware
dealers would make the same offer.
Captain Harris marched his Wood
men company to the armory in their
uniforms, and put his men through a
drill that was splendid example for
the members of the guard. The Wood
men We're inspected by Captain Gra-
ham, who pronounced their work very
good.
Captain Graham today appointed
the following non-commissioned off,
GERS:
Chas. j. Leitner, 1st sergeant; R.
e. Yonge, quartermaster sergeant;
w. Austin Bennett, mess sergeant;
e. E. McLin. D. E. McIver and j. Le-

IN NEED OF
EQUIPMENT
National Guard of Florida is Most In
adequately Supplied by
the Nation
Jacksonville Metropolis, 2sth)

tJackSonV1lie Metropolis, ZSth)
Gen. j. Clifford r. Foster this aft
ernoon, stated that kilograms from
Washington advise that equipment for
the Second Regiment has been ship
ped, and that as soon as it arrives
those men who have had military
training, likely, will be dispatched to
a mobilization point on the border.
General Foster declared that the
members of the regiment who are un-
trained will be held here until they
are able to reach the classification of
|semi-trained soldiers, and that as
quickly as possible after that time
they will be called into service. Thirty
days, it is believed, should suffice for
such training, which will be admin
istered la mn intensive manner.
Minus uniforms, rifles and other
equipment, large portion of the men
lencamped at Black Point are wholly
unprepared to go into service. The
rockies present sight bordering on
the pathetic. Those above the peace
strength of the twelve companies in
camp are without military equip
nent. They are drilled in civilian S
clothes and are without rifles. With
i,400 men encamped, with equipment
for only small portion of them
about hundred recruits are being re-
ceived daily.
The fault, however, does not lie
with the commanding officers, the
men, nor with the state. With the
proper equipment on hand work can
go on rapidly and the unframed men
are expected to round rapidly into
shape for military duties once they
are supplied with rifles and necessary
Iaccouterments.
Several days, at least, are expected
now to elapse before moving orders
come for the regiment. Such orders
are not expected until equipment ar
rives, and that is an unknown equa-
tion which the officers have to deal
with.
In the meantime the men are work
ing conscientiously trying to break
themselves into the military grind
with what little equipment they have,
in hope of soon being ordered into
active service.

PLANS FOR THE PARK
Completed by the Landscape Archi-
tect and Pronounced to be
Very Good

Harold B. Swope, landscape archi-
tect, has completed the plans for the
proposed municipal park on the Tay-
lor pond property, and copies of the
design-a very beautiful one-have
been received by the Woman's Club
committee. Mr.. Swope points out
that the plan "is necessarily sugges-
tive, rather than exact in some of it's
details, due to the lack of accurate
data" He believes that the design is
thoroughly practical and economical,
and says: ct is to be remembered
that the development of a park, un-
Ike the construction of building, is
an operation that can go on for years
after the first outlines are established.
In the meantime, if the first steps are
wise ones, the park will be>of constant
and unfailing pleasure to its users,
and the slow development of new
beauties will be a constant source of
qualification"
Accompanying the design is a ID
page typewriter manuscript of ex-
PLANTATION. At the outset Mr.. Swope
says that the plan has been prepared
with a view to providing the great
est possible number of attractive park
features for both children and adults,
through the utilization of existing
conditions rather than by resorting to
costly experiments of grading and
the alteration of the natural contours.
At the same time, the present require
ments Of the city in regard to the use
of the property and the necessity of
assuring a low maintenance cost
have been constantly kept in mind.'
The general treatment is natural
istic. The outstanding features of
the design are: a mall, Fairgrounds, a
lake, an island, a wood, grove,
grotto, a wild garden, and winding
walks. Mr.. Swope has made his de-
sign in color, and an excellent idea is
readily obtained of the whole scheme.
The mall, broad straight walk,
prolongs the axis of Watufa street
acress the park, to May street, and
separates the Fairgrounds from the
remainder of the park. Trees on
either side of the walk are provided
for, and the eventual result is a
broad, cool, densely shaded tunnel of
foliage" The playground will be
provided with facilities for games and
athletic sports, with a smaller play
ground for little children. A six-foot
running track, about one sixth of a
mile in circumference, with a 100
yard straightaway, is provided. Five
tennis courts are planned. A wading
pool, sand-box and swings are provid-
ed for the little children.
The lake is really two bodies of
water connected by a small passage,
which is spanned by bridge, the
whole affording az opportunity for
boating and bathing. The island, oc-
cupying the ground now covered by
heavy growth of willows, will be
thickly wooded, with variety of un-
dcrgrowth, giving, in connection with
the lake, variety of landscape pic
lures.
Very little change is recommended
for the grotto by Mr.. Swope. The
naturally romantic aspect of the
place is to be undisturbed. Whatever
planting is done here will be simply
an accentuation of the naturally wild
growth. In the wild garden the con-
ditions will be essentially the same

used sparingly, and with careful con-
sideration of the effect as a whole.
The main entrance to the park is
provided on Watula street, and it is
recommended that the entire park be
enclosed by substantial wire fence.

the window of the Munroe & Cham
