NEw ORLEANS, june H.--IIegardIng the
Governors proclamation against prize
fighting in Louisiana 1t may be stated that
the managers for kilrtn never contem-
plated having the battle-ground within the
jurisdiction Of this State. Bud PenAude,
who has charge of the affair, SAID last night
that the proclamation would not interfere
with the Arrangements made.
Harding and Stevenson were interviewed
as 70 the effect of the proclamation. They
cOncurrod fully IN the opinion that II could
have no possible effect on the meeting Of
Sullivan and Klirain, as they never intend
cd locating the nng within the jurisdiction
of Louisiana. consequently they feel no
special interest ia the matter.

disbanding Camp No. 20, of Chicago, SAID
banded as stated, and that 1t would not be.
lie further said if the States Attorney
calls on mo for the records viii produce
them for him at any time ne may desire
Camp No. 20 has no connection with the
Cronin affair
The dead man was member of Camp
No. 234, and had not been member OF
Camp No. % for over five years. The idea
that he was tried by Camp No. 20 Is an
error. A member Of one camp could not
be tried by the council of another one.
There IS nothing IN the records OF Camp
No. 20 which We are not willing for the
