Cla Ike has furnished fresh evidence of his
determination to prevent the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight at Hot Springs or in
Arkansas. A telegram was sent by the
governor to Brigadier General George B.
Taylor of Forest City, of the Arkansas
State guard, summoning him to a con-
ference at once The meaning of the con-
ference is that the governor desires TO ac-
quaint himself with the available strength
of tne state militia, so that he may act
knowingly if the situation at Hot Springs
reaches a crisis where the services of the
militia may be required.
According to the offers contained in tel
egrams and letters received at the execu-
tive office, Governor Clarke estimates that
the services of l0,0eG men are at his dispos-
al for the purpose of putting down the
fight if needed. These offers come from
all over the state A vigorous determine
ton to prevent the fight is plainly discern
ible in the significant proceedings at the
executive Office Indeed, Governor Clarke
was more emphatic than ever in saying
that the fight would not be allowed
