member of our board of supervisors
who voted to grant the permit is
morally responsible.
This particular death is, it is
true, only an incident. But there is
in every similar light the imminent
possibility of a similar fatality.
"Eight knockouts at the last fight"
is a recent advertisement for the
next occasion. "It took some hours
to bring the victim to" is the re
port of another. Who was the mur
derer? In the last analysis the
community which permits such ruf
fianism, and which indorses by its
silence the activity of the fight pro
moter, is guilty, not alone of mur
der, .but of a suicidal corruption of
its youth.
San Francisco merits the sever
est" penalty of divine justice for its
supreme disregard of moral law.
Rev. Dr. Robert J. Renison, pastor
of St. Paul's Episcopal church, touched
on; the brutality of boxing encounters
in his sermon yesterday morning and
said that he would go fully into the
subject next Sunday.
OPPOSKS COMMERCIAMSH
Doctor Renison will attack pugilism
from a new angle. He says that he is
not opposed to boxing as a means of
physical development and when prac
ticed in moderation, but that he is
strongly against . the commercializing
of what is a legitimate sport. Dollars
and cents, according to Doctor Reni
son. are the sole and moving purpose
behind the ring contests. Doctor Reni
son said:
"I shall preach against the commer
cializing of what should be a legiti
mate and invigorating sport. It has
fallen in the hands of mercenary men.
who abuse the public love of manly
contests by seeking to make money
regardless of the methods pursued. I
am opposed to the holding of the Jef
fries-Johnson fight and shall work to
prevent such a spectacle from being
witnessed in this state."
IMOX EXTENDS SYMPATHY
The friends of Tommy McCarthy in
the San Francisco brick layers' inter
national union So. 7 of California
passed resolutions yesterday commend
ing the"* life of the young victim of
Moran's blow.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, our beloved brother,
Thomas McCarthy, was taken from
our midst by accidental death; and
Whereas, his exceptional quali
ties, moral, mental and physical,
endeared him most to those •who
knew him best; and
Whereas, if these traits of char
acter drew him so closely to the
bosom of those with whom he as
sociated in daily life, we ran but
faintly realize the grief and- an
guish that till the hearts of those
who were nearest and dearest, to
him; be it therefore
Resolved, that we tender our con
dolence \u25a0 to his bereaved and
stricken parents and brothers, and
to all those who with us mourn his
loss.'

Protest Against Fight
OAKLAND, May 3.— ln his address
preceding the sermon at. the morning
services in. the First Congregational
church. Rev. Charles. R. Brown de
nounced the proposition to hold the
Jeffries-Johnson fight at , Emeryville
July 4. He appealed -to all. true citi
zens of the community to • uphold the
principles of honor, morality and
patriotism by. .. protesting .in a mass
against holding the championship con
test. He said in part:
"There are innumerable reasons why
this community should avoid the shame
that will surely fall upon it, and the
disgrace that most certainly will come
to its citizens, if the prize fight, is al
lowed, but there are- three reasons^
which alone should #»be .sufficient to
make every good citizen antagonize the
contest. • . . . - w \u25a0 \u25a0
FABUI..OUS SUMS PAID
"First— The holding of such a flght
would be a crime against the moral
welfare of the community; "fabulous
sums are paid to these men. for what
for holding up an improper 'form .of
heroism — may the term be used here?
"Second — The prize fight would result
in the gathering here of a great mass
of undesirable representatives of both
races. The lowest kind of- riffraff
would ' be- stranded here/ an<3 the event
would surely be followed by the com
ing of a class of women "I need 'nut
designate. ;.-,.;
"Third — -It would nullify to' a „ certain
extent the advertising that this -com
munity had .put forth in the hope (of
bringing * ; desirable . . citizens, . . ,truo
American' men and womch,, to settle in
THE SAN FRANCISCO CAUL
greater Oakland. .Such people would
hesitate to come to a community that
would tolerate the lowqst class of
sporting element. The fight should be
relegated to Mexico or some other
place, for Americans are working with
higher ideals in mind."
Hl<; MEETING 1IKIJ)
At the close of services a meeting
of the men of the church was called.
More than 200 were, .present. W. C.
Barnard f presided. A committee was
appointed to arrange for a great mass
meeting of the citizens i of the com
munity in .a protest' to' Attorney Gen
eral Webb and Governor Gillett against
the fight. The names follow: R. A. :
L.eet, chairman; Guy C. Earl, E. 11.
Benjamin, L. X. Cobbledick, Cary How
ard, U. If. Chamberlain and W. C. Bar
nard.
Guy C.Karl then introduced a reso
lution denouncing the contest and pro
testing to the state and county officials
against it. Many prominent men of
this city signed the resolution, which
reads as follows:
Whereas, the laws of California
permit the holding of sparring ex
hibitions by domestic clubs under
certain conditions, but absolutely
prohibit prize fights; and
Whereas, it is understood by all
that the contest scheduled to occur
at Emeryville race track on July
4th. between Jack Johnson, a negro,
and James' J. Jeffries, a white man, .
for a purse of over $100,000, will
not be a mere sparring exhibition,
but a prize fight for the 'heavy- \u25a0
weght championship of the world;
and
Whereas, such unlawful contests-,
are evil in their influence, especial
ly upon the young, and are. out-.
. lawed and jabsolutely suppressed in
nearly every state in this coun
try; and . •
Whereas, among other objections
to the holding of said right, is the
fact that it would bring to this
community, among its- attendants,
hundreds of the most undesirable
of both races from all parts of the
United States who would consti
tute a menace to the peace and
safety of our county; and
Whereas, it Is also believed that
the holding o( said prize fight
would injure the standing of this
- community with the very class of
citizens that we desire to attract,
to greter Oakland; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the men Of
the First Congregational. Church;
Oakland, In 'meeting assembled,
hereby protest against the. holding -
of "said prize fight- and urge our
public officials to do everylhlng in " |
their power to prevent tho.Uame;
And, Resolved, That a copy of
these resolutions be sent at once to^ >
' W. 11. 'Donahue, district -attorney of .;
this county, .and to. Prank Barnett,- ;

York, where they will be joined by sev
eral prominent Californians and be the
guests of honor Monday night at a ban
quet given by the directors of the
world's fair of New York to be held in
1913.
Special cars accommodated the dele
gation. On. the train which carried it
east was Jacob Dold, president of the
Jacob Dold packing company of Kansas
City, St. L.ouis, St. Joseph and Buffalo
and one of the meat magnates of the
country. He was in San Francisco and,
present at the meeting when the
$4,089,000 was raised and so impressed
was h<s by the patriotic spirit displayed
that he declared that he felt bound to
help in the work.
"It was the most remarkable exhibi
tion of civic pride I have witnessed," he
said k "and as soon as 1 return I shall
write to my representatives in Wash
ington informing them of what I ob
served and asking them to help the
cause of San Francisco.
CITY" ENTITLED TO SUPPORT j
"A people who show such .grit and
genuine affection for their city ought
to receive the . support of the entire
country. It was a beautiful and won
derful illustration of civic pride, and
observing it I caught the fever.
"My great fear is that the east will
not quite grasp the immensity of the
sacrifice of the people of San Francisco
or the sentiment which underlies it. I
promise to do whatever 1 can 'toward
having the exposition ' hertt in 1915."
Thjs statement, made by Dold' to
some of the members of the delegation,
was appreciated deeply, as they realized
that it represented strength in the
middle west.
SALE OF STOCK TO PROCEED
.* There was no sale of stock yesterday,
but a campaign among the employes of
the various stores, offices and work
shops'in. the city in an effort to sell
small bunches of stock will begin today.
Subscriptions have been raised by the
employes of the Hibernia bank,- the
German savings and loan society and
the merchants' exchange. In the week
to follow similar subscriptions will be
started in many other places.
The delegates hope that when they
confer with the president the fund of
$5,000,000 will have b<*en raised. This
\u25a0will be a safeguard against any excuse
that congress will not be in a position
to act until the city has raised its
quota. With six days in which to do
the work the finance committee will do
its best to secure the desired amount.
Sacramento to Assist
[Special Dispalch to The Call]
SACRAMENTO. May I.— A movement
is on among the businessmen of S'ac
rame.nto to raise $100,000 toward the
fund which San Francisco wants to
hold the Panama-Pacific exposition in ;
1905.
A well known local businessman said
today: ; • - .
"I have talked the matter over with
several other Sacramentans and they
agreed that Sacramento ought to do
something handsome. The* sum of $100.
000 is often mentioned, and for my part
1 do not see where wo could place that
sum of money to better advantage.' It
seems to me we ought to help, espe
cially after San Francisco has done so
nobly."

We Won't Pay Cigar Duty
r - And you dem 't pay for the name "imported" in
Van Dyck "Quality" cigars.
If we made them in Cuba instead of the United States, th©
duty would double the cost.
So we located our factory in Tampa, Fla.> where Cuba's own
climate prevails.
. But our warehouses are in Cuba. Our tobacco is the pick of
, . the choicest Havana leaf grown. And our workmen are Cuban
experts— the finest cigar-makers in the world.
- All the, "Imported's" exquisite fragTance and flavor is only
enhanced by the rare individual charms of
