This Action on Heels of
Change in Solicitorship is
Looked On As Signil-
can't
B. A. DAVIS ONLY
MEMBER REMAINING
Impression is Prevalent That
Enforcement of Blue
Laws Will Be Perna-
nently Abandoned.

Governor Cats vigilance committee,
appointed about six months ago to CO.
operate in the enforcement of law, and
especially the so-called blue laws in
Pensacola, is no longer in. existence
That is to say, all but one member of
the committee have sent in their res
ignations and it is believed they will
be accepted. The remaining member
of the committee is B. A. Davis and
Mr. Davis declined to state last night
whether or not he, to, had resigned.
A. f. Paderick, who was elected
chairman of the committee when 1t
was organized. sent in his resignation
yesterday He stated TO the Journal
last night that he did wish to ex-
plain the causes leading up to his res
ignation.
w G. Porter, who had been looked
on as a member of the vigilance COM
mittee. told the Journal last night that
ne had never been member of the
body but had attended several meet
ings of the committee at the request
of the governor.
Senator J. p. stokes, who was one
of the original members of the COM
mittee, resigned several months ago,
giving Interference with his business"
as the reason. Shortly after Senator
Stokes resignation, Percy S. Hayes
resigned, giving the same reason
It is understood the vigilance COM
mittee was instrumental in instigating
prosecutions in connection with the
non enforcement crusade about two
months ago, as result of which about
$50 warrants We're served According
to records in the county court over
100 of these cases We're nol-prossed
instead of coming to trial.
Mr. Porter declared last night that
the vigilance committee had nothing
to do with the Sunday closing and
anti-vice crusade. but had acted as an
advisory committee.
It is believed by those in touch with
political conditions in Pensacola that
the resignation of the vigilance COM
mittee is indefinitely related to the
appointment of Mr.. Mackey's success
or, and it was common talk on the
street last night that the city will "be
wide open today and that enforcement
of the blue laws. which have been
source of vigorous protest in many
quarters will be permanently aban-
doned.

NEPTUNE IS
GIVEN CARE
OF 4ESCAMBIA'
Miss Valerie Reese Christens
Fine Steel Ship in Pres
ence of Ten Thousand
People.

The fine 5000 ton steamer. "Escam-
bia" was given into Father Neptune's
keeping just two minutes after three
o'clock yesterday afternoon in the pres-
ence of nearly 10000 people. The
launching was successful in every way
and the beautiful vessel dressed with
flags and flying the standard of the
shipping board and the ensign of the
United States at her flag staff, was
loudly cheered as she slipped off the
ways, righted herself and tugged gently
at her restraining lines.
Long before the appointed hour of
three thousands of people had gath
cred at the ship yard to which they
were admitted by the management, and
hundreds of automobiles were parked
on the hard road. Every point of van
tage held spectators of the launching
who were not disappointed, for prompt
" at three o'clock the first snivers of
life shook the vessel and at two min
utes after the hour she slid easily into
the water.
Among the out of town visitors who
saw the launching were several Mo-
bile ship builders including Frank Nc
ConneIl, general superintendent of the
Alabama Dry Docks and Ship Building
Co.
Miss Valerie Reese, the lovely young
daughter of j. S. Reese, who was large
ly instrumental in bringing the big
plant to Pensacola, acted as sponsor
She wore a dainty, girlish frock of
white georgette embroidered in deli
cate green with large white braid
hat and corsage bouquet of pink Kill
larney roses. It was a lovely scene
when she, surrounded by her maids,
advanced and with the words. Il chris
ten thee Escambia' broke the bottle,
gaily decorated in red, white and blue.
and the sparkling champagne trickied
down the sides of the hull of the great
ship
Miss Rees had chosen as her maids,
Misses Elizabeth Merritt daughter or
John a. Merritt, Ruth McLane, kath-
crime Eitzen Bessie Milton, Adeila
Rosasco and Hilda Bear.
Miss Merritt was lovely in an exquis-
ite gown of flesh colored georgette
with large leghorn hat trimmed in
delicate pink. Miss McLane wore a
Frenchy model of flesh colored geors-
cite with large white straw hat faced
with pink. Miss Eif zen was exquisite
in a summery gown Of delicate pink or
CANDY relieved with touches of blue
and a large pink chiffon picture hat.
Miss Milton wore a charming frock
of orchid colored organdy with large
pink picture hat Miss Rosascc wore
a dainty gown of lavender organdy
with large picture hat and Miss Bear
a dainty gown of white net with black
picture hat The maids all wore large
corsage bouquets of pink sweetpeas,
the Mowers having been presented with
the compliments of The Pensacola
Shipbuilding Co.
Employees of the citizens and Peo-
pies National bank. of which Mr. Reese
is president, presented Miss Reese with
beautiful bouquet of pink gladiodi.

Six Years Test Period" of
Commission Form of Ad-
ministration Will End in
June.
ELECTION CAN BE
CALLED ON ISSUE
Petition Necessary for Call
Would Require Signatures
of 90 Per Cent. of Qualified
Electors.

Agitation that may grow into fully
developed movement in June to return
Pensacola to its former Aldermanic
form of government instead of the
present commission form is well un-
der way in local. political circles.
At an informal conference of rem
resentative citizens and tax PAYERS Of
the city yesterday, the matter of the
movement is known to have been
brought up as a topic of conversation
and hearty approval was given it in
expressions by men who are not in
terested in the administration of nuni-
cipaf affairs except as citizens and FAX
payers.
The present commission charter pro-
Vides that at the end of six years ad
ministration under the charter. an cleo
tion may be called on petition of 81
per cent. of the qualified electors of the
city to determine as to whether Il is

zens OF Pensacola to continue under
S.e commission form of government
or return to the former form of ad-
mlnistration by mayor and twelve
aldermen, one representing each ward
or precinct of the city
new form Of government will end
about June or A, and any time after
that date petitions calling for en- elec-
ton on the proposition may be circl1-
lated If there is sufficient interest felt
by any parties to take the initiative.
as 1t appear svery probable there is.
That the old aldermanic form is the
most democratic, thereby assuring a
greater degree of efficiency in the vari-
Gus departments of the city govern
ment, is the contention of those heard
TO express themselves in favor of re-
turning to the aldermanic from.
From an economic standpoint Il is
contended that under the a.dernanfc
form of adm ;nistratfon only the mayor
draws salary and that salary was form
erly fixed at $4,000, while under the
! present commission form the three
commissioners draw salaries of $4,000
a year each, making emergencies as
now face these charged with adnninfs-
tering the city's affairs, necessitating
the cutting of the police department
to less than twenty men for threa
shifts and other departments accord
ingly. would afford material relief
| In connection with the contention
that the aldermanic form oe govern
metlt is more democratic attention :s

it should carry. for return to the al

That such a movement would be the

Tallahassee, May 24.-Mathis, of
Holmes, exploded a bomb in the house
this morning by introduction of a
resolution proposing an amendment to
the constitution providing for division
of the state into the states of Florida
and South Florida.
The gentleman from Holmes made
it clear to the house that he is in
deadly. earnest and members inclined
to look upon the state division as
joke, found themselves confronted
with a serious measure which met
with instant popularity and unless the
present situation changes before Mon
day it will undoubtedly pass the
house.
Immediately after the resolution was
read the second time under waiver Of
the rules, men gathered in groups over
maps of Florida and traced the bound
ary lines suggested in the bin which
will follow the resolution if adopted

amendment or shall create by act

amendment, a new state from apart
of the territory now included in this
state, and the new state shall have
been duly admitted into the union by
congress of the United States, boun-
..daries of this state and said new state
shall be as fixed in said act creating
said new state"
The proposed line OF division would
follow the zSuwannee river to its
mouth. all west of that river being in
Florida and running across the state
along the northern boundary of Ala
chua and Putnam counties, eastward
to the middle of the channel of the
St. Johns river and along line be-
tween st. Johns and Duval counties
To the Atlantic coast, leaving the coun-
ties above that line, including Duval
county. in the old state OF Florida and
those south in South Florida. The
house adjourned without reaching 4

SAYS DIVISION
DIRECTOR CULLEN

The Salvation Army campaign is
dragging and everyone must get on
the job in earnest Monday morning
otherwise it will be failure, thereby
placing disgrace upon the Gulf di-
vision.
The total so far secured for the di-
vision is only $500 against a quota
of 500, 900. The Pensacola zone is
away behind. Everyone is called upon
to back the drive to the limit Bust
ness men should consider the work
done by the Salvation Army and come
