The little controversy between
Jeffries and Rubin, which was settled
quite suddenly last Friday evening in
San Francisco, illustrates the fact that
Americans are not in favor of peace
conventions, and that they can be
settled without the aid Of international
agreement. No one was hurt bad
enough to. cause any great excite
ment, and the Friscoites are crying
for blood. They ought to call for
their money at the box Office.
