This decision of President Leverlng-I removes all doubt from the minds of everyone, and makes it absolutely cer tain that the Southern Baptist .Con vention will hold its next session In ( this city on May 17, as arranged at Baltimore at the last meeting of the vention. This convention, as has been previously announced, will hold its session in the new Shrine Temple, on the corner of ilonroe and Newnan streets. Tbe local committees are or ganised, the convention fund practi cally tn hand, and all preliminary ar rangements looking to the entertain ment of our distinguished guests are well tinder way. A great convention chorus Is being organized by Prof. Prior, music director of the First Bap tist church, who Is being assisted bv Prof. Novltsky. This great conven tion chorus will consist of not less than two hundred voices, and will command the best talent In the city.

It is the purpose of the local committee, and of Jacksonville people as a whote. to entertain the Southern Baptist con vention In a way worthy of our dis tinguished guests and in keeping with the spirit and pride of the city.

The game commission of Louisiana has settled the question of the ship ment of salt water fish into that state from May to' August by declaring tt la no violation of the law. Had the com mission decided otherwise it would have proven a severe blow to the fin ishing Industry of Pensacola, as Im mense consignments are sent to that market from here each day. Speak ing of the matter the Times-Democrat recently contained the follow ing: A matter of importance to salt water fish Importers and the market dealers was settled yesterday when It was de cided by the game commission that salt water fish could be shipped Into New Orleans from May 15 to Aug. 1. The state game laws prohibit the sell ing or catching of salt water fish dur ing this period and up until yesterday It was a matter of contention as to whether or not dealers in Texas and Florida could ship in fish for Louisi ana consumption. Section 6 of the .fish laws makes tt unlawful for fish to be caught In the state waters during the closed season, while section 8 prohibits any person, firm or corporation to Bell, expose, of fer for sale or exchange, have In pos session for sale or keep In cold storage, either for himself or others, any spe cies of salt water fish. A representative of the French Mar ket fish dealers with President Frank M; Miller of the Board of Commission ers for the Protection of Birds, Game and Fish, Amos L. Ponder, attorney for the board, and E. A. Tullan, super intendent of fisheries, went Into ses sion yesterday and the following an nouncement Is the result of their con sideration: "During the period of time from May 15 to Aug. 1 of this year, all species of salt water fish are hereby permitted to be shipped Into the state of Louisiana from any shipping point located in the states of Florida or Texas. Provided each shipment of said fish is accom panied by an invoice showing the point from which the said fish were shipped with full name and address of the con signor and consignee.
