A Popular Man Who Is
Satisfactory to Lavigne
and Walcott.
Young Mitchell Slings Hot
Shot at the National
Club Managers.
Lavigne Gives His Reason for Having
Refused to Accept Offers From
Groom and Gibbs.

Eddie Graney, the manager OF Califor-
MAS favorite heavy weight pugilist, Joe
Choynski. has been selected by Tom
O'Rourke and Billy Lavigne to referee
the contest on Friday evening at Mechan-
les Pavilion. Graney is very popul II
among the sporting fraternity. and hav'
ing an excellent xnowledge of the game,
he should make first-class referee.
In reference to an article which appeared
in an evening paper intimsting that the
fight will be a flake" and that the pugil-
lists will battle under instructions from
their respective managers, Young Mitchell,
the president of the club under the aus
pices OF which the lightweights will con-
test, did not hesitate to say that the
managers OF q rival club had q deep I'm
ger in the lie and in some way managed
10 get on :he right SIDE of the reporter
who wrote the faxed article.
The managers of the club that is fight
ing Us, " said Mitchell, 'are dead sore on
us because We outgeneraled them in the
race for this great cham pionship contest.
They are cheap sports at best, and
wanted 10 pull off the contest in Wood
wards Pavilion, place that is not half
large enough to accomm odate the crowd
that will be present in Mechanics Pavli-
ION on rlQay night.
II Lave some respect for the patroas oil
fistic sport, otherwise l could crowd them
into Woodward S Pavilion like sardines in
q box re ard!ess of their comiort.
The Occidental Club Will see that every
person who enters Mechanics Pavilion on
Friday night will have a .ood seat and
there will be no monkeying about seats,
either"
Billie Lavigne, the brother and man
ager of the fighter who is to meet Walcott,
stated that he would not sign with the club
that is row plotting against the Occi-
dental under any consideration.
"One of the managers of the club in
question refused TO give my brother a
fight in this city when George was here
last" said Law gne Sr. when George
asked him for an engagement he had the
effrontery to tell him TO go and get a
reputation first and then he would talk
business to him terward.
well, our turn came at last, and we
told the gentleman that he was not the
only dictator living, and that he could
look elsewhere for talent; that we would
not have anything to do with him or his
club, ard now you have the story relative
TO Georges refusal Ia accept higher bid
from an opposi, ion club.
The betting last evening on the contest
was light, as the gamblers have not agreed
upon winner as yet.
The fighters are so evenly matched that
even money is being asked by the sup
ters of either man. Lavigne's stock is
looking up. however, and doubtless he
will rush in a strong favorite tomorrow
in the pools.
The Saginaw Kid" is in magnificent
condition, ana his al N irers are verv san
guine that he will compel Walcott 10 show
the white feather be fore the gong sounds
for the twentieth round. Walcott is also
in fine iettle and his manager hopes to see
MIN win inguick order.

He closed his speech In a burst OF mer-

upon him. But the merriment wore itself

MAY LOOK FOR
A NEW Home
Two Sites Are offered to
the Bohemian
Club.
Directors Scheme for Renewal
of the Old Lease
Rejected.
Big Meeting of the Members Last
Night-A Speech That Made
Them All Shudder.

The Bohemian Club is still looking for
a new and more com m odious home. Last
night at one Of the largest meetings in
the history of the club the proposition to
renew the lease for the premises now &C.
cupied was re iected by a vote that was
practically unan nous.
Mr.. Lent, the owner OF the building on
the northwest corner of Grant avenue and
Post street, where the Bohemian owl has
roasted ever since it's Pine-street nome
room for the high jinKs provided the club
would take new lease for ten years on
the expiration Of the old one two years
hence.
The estim ated cost to him of the al
terations was about $4,000. At the last
quarterly meeting of the club the direc-
tors reported in favor of accepting Mr..
Lent's offer. There were only about fifty
mem bers present, and the majority au-
thorized he directors to renew the lease
TINS action caused something like con-
sternation among the members who were
not at that meeting. SO last night they
rallied at special meeting called to re-
consider the project and threw the whole
scheme overheard.
In carefully prepared address 7. E.
Beck stated the objections 10 the plan put
forward by the directors. Mr.. Beck re-
minded the club mem hers that they had
but recently sunk S25. 900 by acting with
out due consideration. He hoped that
they would not again do some thing hastily
TO find them selves again on the stool of
repentance. He had in mind the ILL.,
fated negotiations for the occupation of
what is now known as the Wenban block,
at Sutter and Mason streets.
The mere mention OF it sent a shudder
through the clan, which, the walters per-
ceiving, made haste to trip around with
the punch trays. as il would take wear
to make the proposed alterations in the
high inks rooms Mr.. Beck asked whether
the me m bers should allow themselves to
be subjected to discomforts for 565 days
in order to provide for the five nights in
the year consecrated to the revels of b.
hemia known as high jinks.
The gentlemen who rate comfort above
levity, being in great ma ajority. an.
plauded the point and before he had fin
ished it was very clear that nearly eyerv-
body was convinced that the directors
plans should be rejected, and rejected thew
were when President Sproule called for a
show of hands.
1t is understood that two new proposi.
tions will be now advanced. Both are said
to be coming from owners of property on
Union Square. 1t was generally under
stood last night that the vote against the
renewal of the lease was prompted by the
feeling that the Bohemian Club. with ils
mem bership of over 600. ought 10 look ont
for new home somew here in its present
neigh hborhood.

Enormous.

The almost unprecedented number oi

Pacific Company's shops in different parts
of California is not the only indication oi
the return of busy times in this State.
Passenger departments of the Southern
Pacific report that there are now daily
evidences of a greatly increasing west
ward bound passenger traffic.
General Passenger Agent Goodman said
yesterday:
The Sunset Limited left Chicago yes
terday with an extra car 10 accommodate
the additional traffic. l have just received
word from the Northwestern COMPANY
saying that it wants to put on extra west
ward cars. Many more tourist cars are
being put on from Chicago and ST. Louis
for ives estward-Dound traffic, and that indi-
Gates an element that probably comes TO
settle here.
"All through there is an increase IN the
mum Der of passengers coming this way, a
much greater number than at this time
last year and a greater mum Der than in
any one of the last two or three years. 1t
is all most encoura ging."
Assistant Manager Fillmore had this to
say yesterday of the freight business:
1--WE are handling an unusually big
tonnage, the largest for a mum Der of years.
There is more fruit, more grain, more
canned goods, more OF almost every
product OF Califo-nia's soil to be carried
to market and at better prices than be-
fore. The fact is, there is a famine in

RESOLVED, By the Republi-
can County Committee OF the
City and County of San Fran
oisso, in meeting assem- bled,
that the existing laws which
govern the municipal affairs of
this city and county, and under
which the authority of its pub
Iic officers Is attempted to be
exercised, are wholly incom-
mems urate with the pressing
necessities incid entail to the
growth of the city, and danger
ously retard and imperil its de-
ve1opment and greatness, and
that an organic law fulfilling
this requirement. and providing
for the needed Improvement of
our municipal government is
imperatsvely called forth by
public opinion and the dictates
of good government by and for
the people; and be it further
RESOLVED, That any conven-
tion of our citizens assem- led
for the purpose of frtm'ng II
contemplated charter for this
municipality should be COM
posed of men repres sentative of
all the best inte ests of the COM
munity, with out regard to po-
Iitical faith or party affiIia ion,
but selected only for their per-
sonal worth, public spirit aud
integrity of purpose, and be it
further
RESOLVED, That any charter
proposed by a cunvention to the
people for their ratification
should be free from all redund-
ancy of language, and suff1-
ciently clear in its provisions to
obyiate the need of res srt to the
courts for any judicial interpre-
tation of it's meaning or effect;
and the charter when adopted
should be subjec to amendment
to meet the future exigencies of
our local government as they
may arise; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the said in
tended charter should not be
subject to the objection of the
Capitalization of power, but
effect an even distribution of
the authority of the law by the
public officers empowered to ad-
minister it, and not concentrate
in any one officer the essential
functions of the whole munich
pal entity and its officers.
