ACTION WAS GREAT SURPRISE
Attorney General Instructed by Call'
forala Executive to Prevent tbi
Jeflrtes-Jchnson Battle.
(By Th Associated Pre.)
Su Francisco, Juris 15. Stirred to
action by insistent protest from li
part of tlx lUU and tuuntry, Gov
JtmH K. liUlett today took steps to
Srevsnt u cfcampioasmp light between
una Jaffrie and Jack Johnson, sched
uled to be held ia San Fraacisco on
July 4.
In a latter to Attorney -General Webb,
the governor today expressed hi dis
approval o( Prix hghling ia unmeasured
terms and directed that the aid of the
courts be invoked to prevent th match.
Be concluded with a positive order that,
ia case the plea far a restraining order
be not (ranted and the nght is held, the
attorney ger-sral proceed to gather evi
deaae ana prosecute th principals and
those interested in the fight for viols
tion of th penal code of the state.
The governor declare that the Su
preme court of California has never de
fined a prise fight, and suggests that an
opportunity be given it to do so. This
i taken by those interested to indicate
the governors intentien to pre his
npposrtian to th and.
While the status of the fight is in su
unsettled condition toniaht, th (port
ing fraternity Is much cast down, and
it I generally believed that the death
knell of prise fighting in California, the
"Mecca of prise lighters," according to
the governors letter, naa Deen aounaea
This belief is born out by th fact
that tlw governor telegraphed Attorney
Webb later to take similar action aa to
th nght scheduled for June 18 ia 8a n
FrnncLoo , between bans Langford and
j M Kaufman. k
Prom ten Texas Rkkard aad John
Glee son said that they' had heard ao
whisper of the governor s inoenaea ac
tion. Whea the aw reached aim
Rickard rushed to the office of Attorney
General Webb and asked what that of
fleer nrorxiaed to do. After a conference
wltl. Webb, Rickard said he believed
that the flgbt would be held in Kan
Francisco on the advertised date, despite
the (ovemor's order
Rickard would not say what his course
of action would be until Webh handed
down an opinion, vet Rickard ha
intention of abandoning the effort to
hold the fight here.
Rickard said Webb hsd promised him,
because of the great expense of erect
ing the srens and other matters con
nected with the tight, that his opinion
would be for booming without debiy.
In the meantime. Rickard says he
would prepare to take the fight to Xe
vada or I tan, if compelled to leave
California.
When word of the governor's order
reached Ben Lomond, Jim Jeffries re
fused to believe it. The camp was
thrown into an uproar by the message.
Jeffrie, however, after declaring his
disbelief, retired to his cottage, and was
found there later, sound asleep.
Work on the arena, which has pro
gressed rapidly sine it was started
about two weeks ago, was ordered sus
iiended temporarily when th action of
the governor became known.
The legal proceedings, it is believed,
will ma-ke no difference at the fighters'
camps.
peeking s reason for the aotion of
Governor (illicit following his repeated
declaration that he did not believe the
fight could be prevented, and he did not
purpose to begin useless opposition,
msny think tbut pressure was brought
to bear on him from Washington ; that
the state' representative at the na
tions) oapitsl have informed him that
the holding of the fight was standing in
the way of San Francio etfort to pro
cure the rnam Pacific exposition

trict of Alabama, was instructed to file
at Birmingham a petition against the J
'Southern Wholesale Grocers' aasociationrl
its o facer and members, alleging that
the association constitutes a combina
tion and conspiracy in restraint of trade
and asking that it be dissolved.
The suit, it was said at th depart
ment today, is one of the result of the
investigations which the government for
some time past has been making with
reference to combination that aeek to
eliminate competition, maintaining a
high scale of profit and increase the cost
of living. In tlie opinion of the officials,
tne investigation clearly indicated that
an unlawful conspiracy exists.
Mr. Mreet was in conference for sev
eral days with the department and left
last night for Birmingham. The issue
will be pushed to speedy trial, th
officials believing that they have am
pie evidence to substantiate the charges
made.

UNABLE TO GET TOGETHER
ON MARKET PLACE SITE
(Special to Daily News.)
Raleigh. June IB. Raleigh is hsving
trouble about her city market problem
again. The last legislature appointed a
commission to sell the present msrket
house on Fayetteville street, one of the
most valuable properties in the city, and
erect a market of up-to-date design snd
equipment elsewhere. Xow'the commis
sion and citisens, especially the ladies,
who re most interested, sre unable to
get together aa to just where the new
merket should be located- There have
been numerous conferences, all without
avail. Vow that the differences hsve
practicallv narrowed down to two sites
on Wilmington street, there sre those
who are rising up to question the necea
aity of having any market house st sll.
It is being insisted thst individual pri
vate meal markets strictly rejnilsted ss
to screens and general sanitation, and
well distributed about the citv are tar
better, lessening, too, the protiahilifv
concentration on the part of dealers
putting up and keeping up prices.

LEADERS HAKE KNOWN PUNS
Informal Understanding leacnei ly
Members ot lots Booses to Push
lemalnlng Bills to Conclusion.
(By Th Associated Press.)
Washington, Jua 15. Congress is
expected to adjourn on week from next
Saturday, or on Junue ti, according to
plans made public by Senate lesdsrs to
day, sfter consultations with House
leaders a earrlul canvas of both branch
e, and a revision of the Senate's legia
(stive program. Ttic plan perfected to
day are a follows:
The statehood bill was msde the "un
finished business" immediately upoa the
passsge of the land withdrawal bill to
day. The conference report on the railroad
bill is to be called up tomorrow, how
ever,' and pending disposition of it, the
statehood i 11 temporarily will be laid
aside.
1'oatal savings bank legislation waa
forced aside by the new order, but the
agreement provides for its consideration
following statehood.
In connection with consideration of
the railroad hill conference report it i
expected that several brief a peer he will
be made during which western senstors
will discuss the long and short hsul pro
vision. Senstor Newlands. the minority
member of the conference Co mm it tee,
will oppose th adoption of the report.
The arrangement, or informal under
standing, thst the Senate would concur
in the House a mend menu to the postal
bank bill, was contingent upon the adop
tion of the statehood bill. This means,
however, thst the Senate measure for
the admission of New Mexico and An
sona i to be substituted for the bill
which passed the House. The two meas
ure r strikingly different, and It we
stated that it might reqnirs considera
ble preewmw from the White" Hawse to
reconcile th differences, but thst Presi
dent lift wis convinced thst th task
w-aa not Impossible.
Ihe sction of the Senate in adopting
the bill for the issuance of certiflcstes
of indebtedness to furni.h monev to
complete reclamation prospects as an
amendment to the land withdrawal bill
caused western senstors to express fear
that it might encounter obstscles in con
ference. This fesr waa baaed upon state
ments that the House wss opposed to
the reclsmstion meaaure.

criticising More scad for turning a deaf
ear to the music of th spindl and be

marvels at th "wonder that 'pie' doe

Now, th idea of John Morekead

he ha alway had pi and poue at home,

triotic motive, without thinking of th
accompanying emolument f the office,
that man ia John Morehead. And I may
just as well aav McNinch will be another
one of the same character. McNinch ia
another man that hss his pie snd pone
served at home, and the Democrat can't
place him in the pone hunt, for he ia
neither pawing at the national crib for
pone nor crowding his way to the pie
counter. Whea nien like Morehead and
McNinch yield to th clamors of the
people and accept nominations, the
Times Democrat calls it th old "busi

it is new and very new. The Demo
erst haa gags, such aa "nigger" and
red ehtrtiem, that are aa old as Abe
Lincoln and juat as dead.
Now, gentlemen, we do not mean to
peak disparagingly of your congress

We know of on Mr. Kitchin down

bucking, switching his tail and lighting

Th truth of the matter I this:
All such stock, in trade, should he
