The Big Gold Camp Guarantees One
Hundred and Twenty Thousand
Dollars and Land Fight in Nevada
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.—Tex
Rickard announced to the Associated
Press this morning on receipt of a
telegram from Morris Sullivan of
■ Goldfie’d, Nevada, that the Jeffries
Johnson fight would be held there
July 4th. Sullivan guaranteed $120,
000 to the promoters.
"Sullivan is absolutely depend
able,” said Rickard, later in the day.
"I have no details, but I know the
man. You can announce that the
fight will take place in Goldfield un
less a much better offer should come
from some other Nevada city. 1
think it Is hardly possible tnat any
other city will raise the Goldfield
hid."
Militia Ready for Action.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.—At a
conference attended by Governor Gil
lett, Adjutant General Lauck, Col.
Pippy of the governor's staff and an
officer of the regular army, plans
were made today to call out the state
militia to stop the Langford-Kauf
man fight tomorrow. The conference
theld in the office of Attorney
ral Webb and although they
d not deny that action had been
l. Promoter Louis Blot, of the
Langford-Kaufman fight, after hear
ing the governor’s decision, declared
he would hold the "contest" as he
had advertised it, and would compel
the troops to stop the fight.
Flglit Talk in Frisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17.—To
all intents and purposes the Jeffries
Johnson championship battle is a
pugilistic contest, a perfectly good
light. The fighters are ready and are
training faithfully; there is no doubt
about the gigantic purse, as nearly
half of the money has been deposited
in the bank; the match has been more
widely advertised and attracted
greater Interest than any contest in
ring history.
That it will not be held in San
Francisco or elsewhere in California
is generally admitted, a conclusion
which sporting circles grudgingly
concur in. Tex Rickard, promoter of
the much-heralded bout, has declared
his intention of suing Governor Gil
lett and Attorney General Webb for
damages which he alleges he sustain
ed because of the intervention of
atate authorities to stop the fight.
While no legal steps have been
taken as yet against any of those con
cerned, Promoter Blot of the Lang
ford-Kaufman fight, slated for today,
is in no better case. He has the pub
lished assurances of the attorney gen
eral that that official will file a peti
tion for injunction against the match
tomorrow. Blot declares that he does
not see how his twenty-round go can
be prevented, and states that he will
hold it on programmed time; but his
tone lacked convictions when he said
it.
As to the big fight, Webb stated to
day that he would not bother with an
application for a temporary restrain
ing order, but would ask for a per
manent injunction. He expects to
have his application on file with the
court within a few days. Rickard does
not intend to contest. He said today
that he would immediately transfer
the match to some other state if the
court ruled against him. He does
not look with favor on the prospect of
a long legal fight to keep It here.

• RENO, Nev., July 17.— •
• “Reno stands ready to make •
• good its offer, but the city will •
• not guarantee Rickard any cash •
• bonus to bring his fight here.” •
• This statement from the Busi- •
• ness Men's committee today is •

• evidence that no effort will be •
• made by Reno interests to out- •

• $120,000 for the Jeffries-John- •

since Jim Corbett defeated John L.
Sullivan, arrived from Sacramento to
day. He was positive in defining his
position. The fight could be stopped
and would be stopepd be declared.
For the opposition his procedure
might arouse he did not care a hoot
apparently. He said as much in al
most as many words.
The governor came to San Francis
co to preside over an exposition mass
meeting. As it has been noised
around that the status of the exposi
tion at Washington had much to do
with his “no fight” order, the sport
ing writers hustled around to hear
anything relative to the battle that
might slip out. They were disap
pointed. Not a word concerning it
was spoken at the meeting.
The only real action of the day in
the big fight mixup was a gloomy one
of the fight fans. Work was stopped
on the construction of the arena.
WILL INVESTIGATE CHARGES.
WASHINGTON, June 17.—A

JURY AGREE
NEW YORK, July 17.—It took a
Brooklyn jury only a few miuntes
this afternoon to find a verdict of
guilty of manslaughter in the second
degree against Richard Sage, a 17
year-old boy, who ran an automo
bile over Mrs. Catharine McCoy, an
aged woman on May 7, at Third
avenue and Pacific street, killing her j
almost instantly. After congratu-1
lating the Jurors for doing their,
share to make the streets safe from !
“such reckless young devils,” Judge 1
Dike said to Sage:
"I predict that by the time you get1
out of state's prison you will know
the difference between a mud-guard
and a carburetter.” He remanded
Sage for sentence Monday. Under
the law the maximum for Sage’s
crime is 10 years at hard labor.

BRILLIANT CONTEST HOPED
FOR AT SHEEPSHEAD BAY

NEW YORK, June 17.—Although the promise of fair weather was
lacking, everything else pointed to a brilliant contest at Sheepshead bay
this afternoon, when the turf classic of the year, the suburban handicap,
Is run over this historic tourae.^ Of the seven high class horses named
to start, not one was regarded out of the running. The withdrawal of
Fltaherbert was one disappointment. James R. Keene's starts, Ballott
and Maskette, it was thought, woulu be the best favored at post time.

PASSAGE OK STATEHOOD HILL
«Y SENATE IS REING CKLE
DRATED THROl'GHOI’T THE
TERRITORY.
PHOENIX, Ariz., June 17.—News
of the passage of the statehood bill by
«.-« Senate was received with wild
rejoicing. Phoenix almost took a
half-holiday and forgot everything
else in the general desire to discuss
the brighter prospects opened by the
Senate's action. Men prominent in
public affairs congratulated one an
other on the streets, and there was
general jollification throughout the
capital.
Only two days ago hope of achiev
ing statehood at the present session
of congress had been abandoned;
therefore., the delight occasioned by
today’s news is all the greater. This
feeling extends throughout the ter
ritory, save for a few big mine own
ers and combinations of cattlemen,
who prefer lue present form of gov
ernment.
Private dispatches from Washing
ton received late today conveyed as
surances that the Senate and House
conferees would adjust all differences
on the stateuood bill before adjourn
ment.

A onzo Wire, the former police chelf,
who asserted that he had not closed
his eyes in sleep for 20 years, died
' last night from an affection of the
j lungs and bronchial tubes. Mr.
| Wire’s strange ailment was believed
I to have been the result of a lightn
ing Btroke which grazed him 30 years
: ago, when he was driving a team of
horses. Soon after he began to de
velop insomnia.
In spite of his inability to sleep
Wire did not seem to be affected, ex

parently did not affect his vitality
seriously.

lar case of discoloration of the hu
man body was brought to the Flower
Hospital tonight, when Joseph Pick,

was the same tinge as his face, but
otherwise he had no symptoms of
asphyxiation. His mother. Mrs.
Louisa Pick, said he was employed
in a chemical factory and that he
had been slotfly acquiring the queer
bluish tinge. Gradually the bluish
tinge had become more and more
perceptible and within the last two
or three days it had crept up on his
face.
“It got so bad,” she said, “that I
was ashamed for hint to go out dur
ing the day. This afternoon he beg
ged so I let him go out. .Maybe now
he will get some relief."

pression of the playing of bridge
whist.”
“I am introducing this measure,”

wives”
INDIANAPOLIS, June 17.—
Charging that the big hats woman
are wearing are keeping men from
churrh services. Rev. Clippinger, a
Methodist minister, has acked the
women of his flock either to leave the
newfangled headgear at home or
reduce the size.
Mr. Clippinger says male members
of his congregation tell him they are
remaining away because they can’t
see over or under or past the hats.
Some have threatened to stay away
until styles change. Mr. Clippinger
argued to the woman that their desire
to keep up with the styles should
not be the cause of keeping away
from services. His announcement
has caused excitement among fe
male chuchworkers and it is said
other ministers here will follow his
lead.

Clears Himself of Charge of Stealing
Nineteen Pies.
WILMINGTON. Del., June 16.—
The fact that he does not make any
nlose when he eats pie this morning
led to Robert Cassidy being dismissed
in the city court after he had faced
a charge of larceny. Some time last
night 19 pies and as many pie plates
were stolen from George H. Huber’s
bakery. Police Sergent Bailey
found 19 pie plates near the Phila

WA8HINGTTON, June 17.—The decision of the House of Represen
