I I BIG PRIZE FIGHT FORBIDDEN.
! I .
; Jeffries and Johnson Not to "Scrap"
!
I . in San Francisco.
t .
I /Governor James N. Gillett , of Cali
: j fornia , has directed Attorney General
: f U. S. Webb to take whatever action
, may be necessary to stop the fight be
tween James J. Jeffries and Jack John-
son for the heavy-weight championship
t of the world , which is scheduled to be
fought in San Francisco July 4.
The Governor was impelled to issue
this order , by pressure from Washing
ton. San Francisco is attempting to
secure national legislation in favor of
the Panama-Pacific Exposition. It has
, been directly intimated to the big in
terests of California that the proposed
Jeffries-Johnson fight is standing in
the way of such legislation.
I Just now the law-abiding people of
I the State are jubilant. The Govern-
or's action gratifies hope long deferred.
The sporting element of San Francisco ,
the two fighters and their friends are
correspondingly depressed. The gen
eral inclination among them is to con-
cede that the fight cannot be held in
San Francisco.
There are now only two States in
the Union-leaving California out of
consideration-in which fights can be
held. One of these is Utah , the other
Nevada. The laws of Utah are inim-
ical to prize fights , and the Governor
of that Commonwealth has already ex
pressed himself emphaticaly on the
subject of the Jeffries-Johnson battle ,
to the effect that it will not be per-
mitted under any circumhtances. The
laws of Nevada , however , explicitly
permit fights to a finish for purses of
money.
"I am running San Francisco. I am
taking no order from Gillett or his
j Attorney General. You can bet your
I last dollar that the big fight will be
pulled off in my town just as adver-
tised. " Mayor Pat McCarthy , of San
Francisco , skipping from depot to de-
pot to catch a Pacific coast bound fly-
Br , delivered this ultimatum in Chicago.
, STATEHOOD BILL PASSES SENATE
I
Action Insures Admission of Arizona
and New Mexico Union.
r Two more stars , making forty-eight
ti' ' In all , will be added to the American
flag as a result of the action of the
United States Senate in unanimously
passing the bill granting statehood to
Arizona and New Mexico. :
The House having already acted , the
measure went to a conference commit-
tee , which will arrange the differences
in the two measures adopted , and sub-
mit for the approval of Congress and
the President the act under which the
territories will be admitted into the
.
Union.
The Democrats had feared the Re-
publicans would endeavor to postpone
. the report of the committee , thus kill-
I ' ing statehood for this session. But
I - . they received positive assurances that
delay would not be attempted and that
f Congress would not adjourn without
action.
Thus has ended victoriously a strug-
gle of years on the part of Arizona and
New Mexico : : to be admitted as separate
States. United , they could have re
ceived statehood at the time this high
privilege was accorded to Oklahoma.
But the Arizonians objected to amalga-
mation with the New Mexicans and
strenuously opposed the plan.
The terms upon which the grant is
made may not meet with the full ap-
proval of the residents of the terri-
tories. They may feel that onerous
conditions have been imposed in some
respects , but there is not the slightest
tloubt but that they will accept them
and lose no time in qualifying for- the
. . _ improved status which has been of-
fered.
THIRTY-FIVE PERISH IN FIRE.
Crowds Stand Helpless While Flames
Claim Victims.
Thirty-five persons are believed to
be dead in the fire-swept ruins of the
Herald building in Montreal , Que. ,
which was destroyed : the other day.
Many are said to have been carried
to death by a water tank which crash-
ed through the building when the fire
started. Bindery girls and linotype
men fell through the huge gap in the
floors of the building and were quick
. ly buried under machinery and tim-
_ "bers.
Crowds 'outside the burning build-
ing could hear plainly the shouts of
.
the dying inside while the flames
ware slowly making their way toward
them , but practically nothing could be
done to save them. All the members
of the editorial department escaped
.
uninjured , the dead and dying : being
confined largely to employes of the
bindery.
The flames were confined at first to
the upper floors of the building , but
.
although all the available , fire appa-
ratus turned out , it1 was impossible to
control the fire , which was fanned by
a strong wind.

CAPITAL FIGHT IN OKLAHOMA. :
Victory of Oklahoma City Followed
by Riotous Demonstrations.
Scenes such as have not occurred
in Oklahoma since the rush of the
"sooners" when the land was thrown
open to settlers have followed the vic
tory of Oklahoma City in the'elec -
tion to decide the permanent location
.of the State capital.
Three cities were aspirants for the
capital city. They were Oklahoma
City , with 50,000 population ; Guthrie
and Shawnee , cities of about 20,000
population. Each town had its cam-
paign committee and the fight has
been pushed for months. The ques-
tion was voted on at a special elec-
tion the other day , and it is claimed
by adherents of Oklahoma City that
the returns frou forty of the seventy
i
counties show Oklahoma City has I ,
won over Guthrie and Shawnee by
50,000 plurality.
Guthrie was not willing to stand ,
by the decision of the voters , and
Judge A. H. Huston of the District
Court , on application of Guthrie citi-
zens , issued an injunction against
members of the State administration
to prevent the removal of State offices
to Oklahoma City. When : the result
of the election became known Okla-
homa City's supporters began the
moving of the capital. Possession of
the State seal was the first step
sought. At o'clock in the morning
an auto left Oklahoma City with one
passenger , W. B. Anthony , private
secretary to the governor. It is
thirty-five miles from Oklahoma City
to Guthrie , but Anthony made it in
the dark in less than an hour. When
he reached the outskirts of Guthrie
he muffled the machine , drove rapidly
to the office of the Secretary of State
in the temporary capitol , where he
seized the seal.
CONSERVATION BILL : PASSED.
T
Land Withdrawal Act Carries 30"
000,000 Provision for Irrigation.
With $30,000,000 provided for the
completion of irrigation projects and
various other amendments , the House
bill authorizing the withdrawal of pub-
lic lands by the President passed the
Senate the other day without roll call.
It is one of the measures advocated in
President Taft's legislative program.
Among the more important provisions
rejected was an amendment by Sena-
tor Beveridge specifically withdrawing
from entry the coal lands of Alaska ,
and another by Senator Gore bringing
the friar lands of the Philippines with-
in the operation of the general land
laws of , those islands.

The House rules committee decided
to give one day each to consideration
of the Weeks Appalachian forest re
serve bill and the Scott anti-option
measure , to prohibit dealings in cotton
futures unless an actual transfer of
cotton is made. This probably assures
a vote in the House on these two meas-
ures at the present session.

FRUIT CROP IS REPORTED GOOD.
New England and Pacific Coast
. States Will Make Up for Others.
Splendid prospects for fruit in New
England and the Pacific coast states
almost counterbalance the poor show-
ing of the central states'Where early
frost got in some telling work , accord-
ing to a report made public by the de-
partment of agriculture in Washington
on general crop growth.
The condition . - of the apple crop Is
reported to be more than eight points
below last year's crop of 53.0 , as com
pared with a normal condition. The
ten-year average for apples is 69.8. In
New England and on the Pacific coast
the crop promises to be immense , but
in such big apple states as Ohio and
Missouri there will be only about ons-
third of a crop.
On the other hand , the peach crop ,
due to the excellent prospects in such
states as Georgia and Delaware , prom-
ises to be larger than last year , the
condition June 1 being 62.0 , as com-
pared with 54.1 last year and a ten-
year average of 65.00. The central
states will produce a poor crop , it ap- I
pears.
TO FLY FORECAST FLAGS.
Rural Mail Carriers to Be Prophets
by Proxy to Farmers.
To extend the United States weath-
er bureau service to the rural dis-
tricts , hy ' making every rural mail car-
rier a herald of the official predictions ,
is the unique idea of Representative
McHenry of Pennsylvania , who has in-
troduced a bill to that effect. Mr. Mc
Henry proposes in his bill to have
every vehicle in the rural mail deliv-
ery service equipped with flags denot-
ing the weather prediction for the
day.
day.The
The rural mail wagons thus , in leav-
ing their starting point each day ,
would fly : from their tops flags which
would indicate to every farmer and
country resident the opinion of the
government forecaster as to what the
weather would be for the next twenty-
four hours.
CANADA BARS CHEAP LABOR.
Men Seeking Jobs Must Show $200
Before They Can Enter.
Canadian authorities on the north-
western boundary are rigidly enforcing
a regulation requiring alien laborers ,
with the exception of Americans , ap-
plying for admission to that country
to have $200. The result has been , as
shown by reports received in Wash-
ington , that the great majority of rail-
road laborers and those needed on
large contract works , who have flocked
from Seattle , practically have . been
shut out.
Some of the American railroad
builders ! in Alaska have been enforcing
a rule that only white men can work
for them , all nationalities being ex-
cluded except laborers from northern ,
Europe America , Australia and New :
Zealand. :

Lincoln Boy ; Grabs Clutch Rope of a
Balloon and Ascends.
Cl/de Heckle , an 18-year-old Lin-
coln boy , made a terrifying 6,000-foot
balloon ascension recently , clinging
for a part of . the time to the clutch
rope of the air craft. He landed a
half mile from the start in the mid
dle of a shallow lake at a summer
resort near the city. Adolph Wei-
berg\ an aeronaut , who gives exhibi-
tions at the resort by ascending and
dropping In a parachute had made
preparations foi , his regular trip , and
young Heckle , with others , was hold-
ing the ropes. The boy had asked to
be allowed to make the ascent , but
was refused. Just as the aeronaut ,
seated in his parachute attachment ,
called to his assistants to let go ,
Heckle , with a knife , severel the two
ropes holding the aeronaut , and as
the airbag leaped upward he grasped
the clutch rope of the balloon proper ,
Weiberg , with his parachute , being
left on the ground. For possibly a
thousand feet Heckle went upward al-
most like a ricket , clinging only with
his hands. Then he managed to swing
himself astride the clutch rope , and
after an ascent of over a mile , came
down without mishap.

The one June event that has
the social world , not only in the Unit-
ed States , but abroad , was the wed-
ding of Theodore # Roosevelt. Jr. , end
Miss Eleanor Alexander , which was.
celebrated June 20 , and the ceremony
taking place in the Fifth Avenue Pres-
byterian church , Xew York.
This was the first social event that
the former president of the United
States attended after his arrival home ,
which was only two days before the
wedding. A large number of promi-
nent people attended the ceremony. ft _ _
Aside from the bride and groom , who
of course were the real center of at-
traction , the former president was the
most sought person by all present.
The date of the wedding was set so as
to allow the groom's parents time to >
get back to America.
The matron of honor was Mrs. :
Snowden Fahnestock , formerly Miss
Elizabeth Batron. The bridesmaids
were Miss Ethel Roosevelt Miss Jes-
sie MIllington-Drake , Miss Janetta

Theodore Roosevelt , Jr. , possesses
