WY.XSL, oiled and running as
smoothly as in its palmiest
daj"s, the republican machine
dominated the meeting of the .re
publican state central committee yes
terday at the Palace hotel. The or
ganization bosses were in control and
the last operations of the disintegrat
ing machine were marked by all the
old time methods.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was
: lauded as a wise and beneficial meas
ure: insurgency was denounced- Presi
dent Taft's administration was in
" dorsed in glowing terms and so was
Governor Gilletfs. despite his inter
ference with the Jeffries-Johnson prize
fight. To put the proper finishing
touch on the proceedings, Chairman P.
. S. Teller was authorized to invite Vice
President Sherman to come to Califor

referred to In the resolution as "dis
cussions of national issues."

requesting candidates for republican
nominations to pledge themselves In
\u25a0 "writing: to support whatever party
nominees might be chosen at.. the pri
marles. Johnson has never said that

'•' material for anti-machine political am
taunition than has been developed during
. lh« whole campaign- They put the state"
"central committee on record as refus- j
ing to consider a denunciation of party
"\ control by the Southern Pacific political
/•bureau, and they also brought to light

Airship Chills Czar
iSpecial Cable to The, Call]
ST. PETERSBURG, June 20.— A
clipping from a German news
paper, which recently^ fell under
the czar's eye, has given him a
fresh terror. It reported that
Gorky and Andrleff. exiled Rus
sian writers, have bought Curtiss
aeroplanes and are learning to
fly. their ambition being to- wing
their way back to Russia and
drop explosives upon the palace
occupied by the czar.
He called into conference Baron <
Renne. one of the pioneers among ]
Russian aeronauts, and asked him /
if it would be possible for any ;
one to let explosives fall from an <
airship In such a way as to blow !
up the palace and then escape. !
The baron frankly admitted that ;
such a thing might happen. ;
.Thereupon the czar commanded
the premier, to collaborate with
the minister of justice in framing
a law to govern aviation. .

Busy With u Constitution
SANTA . FE, N. M.,' June 20.— i The ter
ritory '; of New Mexico is. enthusiastic
from one end to the other as a result of
President Taft signing the statehood
bill today. Santa Fe, Las Vegas; and
Raton held mass meetings. The mass
meetings in the plaza at Santa Fe' ad-;
journed with three rousing cheers for
Taft. \u25a0 J- -i, -" " "... ' /'
Telegrams of felicitations* were ex
changed between Acting Governor
Young of "Arizona and Acting, Governor
Jaffa of ; New Mexico. The .latter has
already, prepared the apportionment for
the constitution convention of 100 dele
gates, two-thirds being republicans.
There -will be no; delay in adopting: a
constitution, as-the republican party of
the territory is very conservative and
energetically opposed to -socialistic
ideas.*. The constitution Is likely to be
the most ' conservative, and Is sure ,to
be one that will meet President Taft's
approval. It is proposed to have the
constitution adopted by; the people -in
time .to lay before congress, in ; De?
cember. -

who" rode at the' elbow of Theodore

THINKS CITY ABLE
TO PRESERVE THE LAW
A TTORNEY GENERAL U.
X-l 5. WEBB announced last night
\u0084 V that he had issue dinstruch'ons to
all district attorneys of counties where
"boxing contests** were scheduled, to
stop them. This action Was ta\en upon
written direction of Governor Cillett,
who is following the sporting pages
these days and has kept in touch with
the programs for the matches. Among
the contests ordered stopped by the at*
torney general was the Attell-Moran
fight, which was scheduled for Los
Angeles next Friday night. It was to
b ea 10 round affair, with no decision.
Bouts between second raters at Red
ding and Bakersfield are also to be

general.
McCarthy talks after
seeing the governor
-The first statement of his position
on the prize fight situation was
out last night 'by Mayor McCarthy,
in which is covered his of the
controversy asc well as that of Gov
ernor Gillett. While the mayor does
not attemot to discuss the legal phase
of the matter, he expresses himself of
the opinion that the wisest course to
have been pursued would have be?n
to let the fight promoters out their
men in the ring and then decide
through the action of the courts just
to what extent the law was being
broken. His statement covers a two
hours* interview with the governor at
Sacramento Sunday. It is as follows:
To the Public: Upon my return
to San Francisco it was made to
appear very clear to me by the re
ported action, of the San Francisco
labor council and a large number
of citizens not associated with or
ganized labor that, in their judg
ment, a very serious blow had been
struck at the liberty of the citizens
of San Francisco; that.her financial
and business interests had been
given a tremendous setback; that
because of the manner this blow
was dealt the character and repu
tation of the city had been im
measurably impaired, due. as ex
plained by them, to the unfortun
ate advertisement and criticism
consequent upon -the threatened
caling out and the placing in San
Francisco of the state militia in
order to enforce the law.
Interviews Governor
In deference to these expressed
opinions, I took the 9 o'clock train
yesterday (Sunday) morning to
Sacramento and spent several
. houra'ln conversatin with Governor
James N. Gillett at his home. I pur
sued this "course In order to famil
iarize myself regarding the phases
of the much talked of Jeffries-
Johnson contest from the govern
or's standpoint. I desired also. If
possible, to Impress the governor
with the fact that San Francisco in
particular, and the state of Califor
nia in general, was being dealt
with most severely, due to*the re
ported Intention of the governor »to
, call out the militia jand- proclaim
martial law In time of absolute
peace.
.The governor assured me that
.upon the representation 'of the
chief of police ,of San Francisco
regarding' the enforcement of the
\u25a0'- v law, that he had .withdrawn from
that city; that as governor of all
the people of the state he was in
duty bound to respect, obey and
* enforce the law impartially ,aa he
understood it. He stated that in
his opinion; the mere proposed con
\u25a0 test bore the earmarks of a prize
fight, and as suctt Is unlawful un
' der the statutes ;of .this state. In
this view he claimed to be support
ed, by. the decisions of the courts of
a number of states, one of. which
he read; also that he had been ap
- pealed to "-by a large number of
: cltzens throughout the state and
elsewhere who were opposed to the
- holding : : of this contest:-
Other Side "Not Heard .
.•'\u25a0", But : apparently up to the present
time ' the \u25a0 governor has received . no :
serious expression from the many
thousands of supporters of thiscon-
test,\;a fact to which I called his
attention. The governor was. how
evef; insistent; upon . the enforce-.
ment of jthe law.'as it appeared "to
him,-btu-acauiesoc(i in .the thought
