pam, the vessel is permitted to move
only on orders of United States offi
cials.
Collector of Customs Hamilton is in
charge of the Appam’s movements. He
said today that he is treating the prize
as a British ship which came into an
American port flying the German flag,
“under charge of a man who says he is
ai officer of the German navy.” This
statement indicates Lieut. Berg is
without authentic credentials as to his
naval status.
Lieut. Berg continued today to refuse
permits to visit the Appam to all but
American officials and German repre
sentatives. Though studiously polite
to all callers, he extends no undue
courtesies, even to American officials.
Prince Von Hatzfelt, counsellor of
the German embassy at Washington,
remained here today. He urges the
claim that the Appam, being a prize of
war, is entitled to remain as long as
it is desired in an American port. This
privilege, he asserts, is guaranteed un
der the Prussian-American treaty of
1785.

MDUfiN MHV
NEW YOR, Feb. 3.—Tex Rickard, a
veil known prize-fight promoter here,
today announced the signing of a con
tract which insures a bout between
Jess Willard, champion heavyweight of
the world, and Frank Moran. The two
principals signed articles of agreement
today.
Rickard, who is promoting the big
mill, announced a purse of $60,000 was
offered to bring the fighters together.
Win or lose, Willard is to receive $40,-
000 purse money, and Moran will pull
down $20,000 under the same condi
tions. The bout will be pulled off
in New York, March 17th.
The fighters will box ten rounds, un
der Marquis of Queensbury rules. New
York police officials will supervise the
bout at the ringside, and the decision
will be on points. The referee has
not been announced.
Gov. Harris
Likely To Be
Last Confed.
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 3.—Governor
Nat E. Harris, who is running to
succeed himself, will in all probability
be the last Confederate veteran to oc
cupy the gubernatoial chair in Geor
gia and possibly the last to occupy the
chief executive office in any state in
the union.
The governor is actively engaged in
campaign plans, backed by the same
ccnstitutency which elected him orig
inally and! which is of the opinion to
paraphrase an old proverb, that one
good term deserves another.
Georgia has had numerous Confed
erate veteran governors, all of whom
have left honored names and records
for constructive achievement.
Governor Gordon, Governor Colquitt,
Governor Charles J. Jenkins, are
among the chief executives chosen
from among the ranks of the men in
grey.

Most of all it means "to be honest, to

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
INTEREST fIRDOSED
IN RIFLE PRACTICE
THROU6HTHE UNION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. I —Re
ports reaching here from all parts of
I the country show an awakened in
terest in rifle practice among civilians
as a part of the program of national
defense. Under the law passed by Con
gress two years ago ten or more civ
ilians in any locality can organize a
rifle club under War Department rules
and on affiliation with the National
1 Rifle Association of America, which co
operates with the Government in pro
moting rifle training, receive a free is
sue of rifles and ammunition at the
ratio of one rifle f° r eac h A ve club
members and 120 rounds of ammuni
tion per member per year. At present
there are about 700 such rifle clubs
organized in practically every State,
and inquiries reach Washington by the
■ dozens daily for information as to org-
I anizing new clubs.
The National Rifle Association L 3
bending every effort to incr'ase the
number of clubs in the country and
offers every .encouragement for their
formation. The organization of these
i clubs is regarded as a step in the di
rection of national defense.
It is to be hoped that quite a num
ber of rifle clubs may be represented l
by teams at the National Matches
which have been recommended by the
National Board for Promotion of Rifla
Practice for Jacksonville, Florida, be
ginning October 20 pext. Secretary of
War Garrison has not yet acted on the
matter but it is highly probable that he
will approve holding matches this
year. Riflemen throughout the coun
try were pleased at the action of the
Board in voting for annual matches
instead of holding these competitions
every other year. At the recent meet
ing of the National Rifle Association
the following officers were elected for
1916:
President, Lieut. Col. Wm. Libbey,
Pdinceton, N. J.; First Vice President,
P.rig. Gen. Fred B. Wood, St. Paul,
Minn,; Second Vice President, Brig.
Gen. Chas. F. Macklin, Annapolis, Mr.:
