Jacksonville, May 7, 1907.

Dear Sir and Brother:
As you are aware, Montefiore Lodge intends placing
the play of "Damon and Pythias" on at the Duval Theatre on Friday
night, May 17th, for the benefit of the Building Fund. The Lodge is
going to great expense to place this play on in a first-class manner
so that the beautiful story of friendship on which the Order of
Knights of Pythias is founded, may be appreciated by others, as well
as Knights. To put this play on Mr. Edouard D'Oize, an actor of much
ability, and who has played the part of Damon over one hundred times,
and his wife, who plays Calanthe, have been secured for the play, in
addition it is necessary to send for two actors to play the parts of
Pythias and Dionysius, and Miss Gertrude Jacobi, of this city, will
play Hermion.
Now, Brother, Montefiore Lodge has the habit of making a success
of every venture she undertakes, this record we wish to maintain; it
is therefore necessary for every member to put his shoulder to the
wheel and do his utmost, so we ask you to use as many tickets as you
can and sell them to your friends, we must make the expenses.
Tickets, down stairs, $1.00; the balcony 75 cents, and the gal-
lery 50 cents. Tickets can be had from Bro. F. O. Miller's Piano
Store; Bro. Chas. Boote, City Treasurer's Office; Bro. T. C. Imeson,
City Engineer'6SOffice; Bro. C. G. Smith, Southern Express Office;
Union Depot; Bro- Jas. Douglas' Print Shop, and the undersigned.
Please let me know the number of tickets you can sell and use, as
early as possible, as the time is limited.
Fraternally Yours,
J. FRANK DUNN,
K. of R. and S.

Hon B. Broward,

Governor of Florida,

Tallahassee, Fla.

My dear Governor,-

I am much obliged to you for your letter
which was forwarded from the office and which I received last
night. I wrote you yesterday sending you a rewritten copy of
the Health Bill with all the objectionable features I thought of
at that time,left out. Since then I have thought it would be
better to reqrite the first four lines of the bill which from
the enclosed copy you will see that I have provided that the
rules and regulations which the State Board of Health is
authorized to make,shall applr to specific purposes and not
be general in their authority. For instance, the Board will
have power to make rules to disinfect sleeping and passenger
cars; it shall have authority to prohibit spitting; etc, etc.
I have cut out the vaccination clause altogether and the
provision for burial permits and also supervision of the
burial of the dead.
I cannot for the life of me see why there should
be any objection to the bill as it is now drafted and I do
hope, Governor, that you can force the measure through the
House promptly. It will pass the Senate I know without any
contention or debate. As now drafted it should meet the
approval of he critical eye of the editor of the SUN, as
you say that has had the kindness to remark that there were
many good things attached to the original measure.

I am heartily anxious that the provision to allow
the Board to investigate disease and provide means for the
prevention of the same, shall become a law, else our laboratory
work and other proposed methods of teaching and acquiring
scientific information will be seriously embarrassed if not
permanently hindered. ---

Yours very t:

Tallahassee, Fla.

Dear Governor:-

I amu expecting to leave iSunday, Mlay 12th, for a

trip to Europe with my family, to be gone some time. If you hap-

pen to know anybody in that part of the world to whom you would

care to give me a letter of Introduction, I would certainly ap-
not
nTrecat-- it very much. Tf you do know such a one, I think al

letter in gener-.l terms would th the best passport I coIud take

for most purposes. and at times night prove very useful. I know

that just at this moment your time is ve-ry valuable and I must

apologize for troubling you about so trivial a matter, but our

past relations have been so pleasant that I am confident you will

help me as far as you are able. Thanking you in advance for

your Kindness, I am,

Yo; very trul

30ouae of Repretentatibes

Tallabagsee, ~lay 22, 1907
Honorable Napoleon B. Broward,
Governor of Florida, Tallahassee, Fla.

1y Dear Governor:
In view of the fact an that under resolution adopted

by the House, bills are being called up during the afternoon sessions
without reference to their order on the calander, it will be impos-

sible for me to see you again this afternoon. Knowing the situation
as I do in jacksonville and fully realizing what it means to me, I

have signed the letter hereto attached urging you not to veto House
Bill 484. I am confident that the bill meets the approval of the
majority of the citizens of jacksonville. Along with the other
Representatives I am willing to take my share of the responsibility

and if the bill is not vetoed I will see to it that an amendatory
bill is immediately passed curing the defects pointed out by you to
fully meet your views. I confidently believe that a veto of this
bill will mean my political destruction as I am confident that Senator
Buckman would not pass another measure in the Senate that would give
me a opportunity to overcome the damage that might be done me if
House Bill 484 fails to become a law.
I trust that you will look at the matter in the same

light that I do and on account of me that you will not veto the bill.
Yours most respectfully,

I

Tallhhassee, Fla., May 22, 1907.
Honorable Napoleon B. Broward,

Governor of Florida, Tallahassee, Fla
Sir:

House Bill 484, a Bill amending the charter of the City
of Jacksonville, and providing among other things for the election

of the Board of Bond Trustees by the direct vote of the people, has

passed both Houses and is now before you for your consideration.

At a conference between you and the Duval County delega-

tion, composed of Senator Buckman, and Representatives Melton and

Farris, you indicated your disapproval of the Bill for the reason thai

in your opinion, the Bond Trustees to be elected under the provis-

ions thereof, could fix their salaries without limitation and to

suit themselves, and upon the further ground that the Police Depart-

ment of said City would not receive the proper protection for the

reason that any member thereof might be removed without just cause.

In our opinion the Bill does not admit of this construction

and it most assuredly was not our intention to confer any such power

upon the said Board of Bond Trustees, but in order to meet these

two objections and to make "assurance$ doubly sure," if you will

not veto the measure referd to we hereby agree to immediately draft
to
a Bill supplemental and amendatory of House Bill 484, providing that

the said Bond Trustees shall receive no compensation, and providing

further that the Bond Trustees shall only have such power as they

now have under the present charter with reference to the removal of

officers and employees of the different departments.

We make this request for the reason that we are satisfied

that a majority of the people of Jacksonville approve the bill

which we have passed and herein referred to and should be given the

right to say whe their officers should be.
In our Representative capacity we most respectfully urge

that you do not veto the Bill referred to and we further obligate

' 1

I

ourselves to secure the inrnediate passage of a supplemental Bill

curing the defects you have pointed out.

Most respectfully,

Senator from the 18th District.

Represlitatives from Duval County

Dear Sir:

I saw Judge Neel last night, and left him enthusiastic for

drainage. -Judge Neel is a great admirer of yours, and I think you

can talk with him safely on most any proposition that you desire.

He is a timid man, however, and has been to your office once or

twice and found you quite busy so did not talk with you; but any

time that you have anything in the House in which you are interested,

if you will send for him I am satisfied that he will go with you

any time.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
WASHINGTON, D. C.
May 28, 1907.

Hon. Napoleon B. Broward /
Tallahassee, Florida
Dear Sir:-
Early in the session of the Legislature Mr. S. D. Clarke in-
troduced two bills which I prepared and sent him, one creating the
office of State Game Commissioner, and the other amending existing
law so as to provide for the maintenance of the office by applica-
tion of the non-resident hunting license fees and adding protection
to certain valuable game birds not now protected. These two bills
were referred to the Game Committee and were promptly reported ad-
versely. MTr. Clarke procured the recommitment of them to the same
committee but with a like result. Senator Massey, to whom I sent the
bills for introduction in the Senate, deferred them because Senator
Adams had previously introduced Senate Bill No. 44, which was printed.
This bill was a copy of one prepared in 1903 and introduced by Mr.
Love of Gadsden at that session. It was revived this session, I be-
lieve by the Commissiorer of Agriculture through the interest of Mr.
H. S. Elliot of his office. Amended as I have already indicated to
Senator Massey it will accomplish all that any bill now pending for
the establishment of a State Game Commnissionership can do. Mr.
Wallace, State Game Commissioner of Alabama, advises me that he pre-
pared a bill, by request, while in Tallahassee and asked Mr. Russell
of the House to send me a copy. I have never received it. While Mr.
Wallace is thoruoghly familiar with the constitutional limitations
of Alabama and can safely prepare a game bill for that State I am

N. B. B. -2

somewhat doubtful of his having had time to harmonize his Florida
bill with our constitution and since the Adams bill (S. 44) is all
that is needed and, as amended as indicated to Senator Massey, is
consonant with our constitution, I respectfully recommend it to you
for consideration.
I am informed that much opposition to the creation of a State
Game Commissionership rests upon the ground of expense to the tax-
payers of the State. This opposition is without foundation since the
funds derived from non-residents who hunt in the State are sufficient
to maintain the office. Some days since I sent you a number of copies
of my recent circular on 'Game Protection in Florida', but whether or
not you ever received or saw them I am not advised. In that circular,
a copy of which I am again enclosing, will be found a statement of the
amounts collected in Florida during each of the last three open
seasons from non-residents for the provilege of hunting. You will ob-
serve that the total sum has increased each successive season. If we
had an efficient game department in the State these sums would be
materially increased and would amply maintain the State Game Com-
missioneis office.
I respectfully submit the foregoing to you for such consider-
ation as you may see fit to give it.
Respectfully,

/, ., /
