Place Where Jeffries and Johnson
Will Battle to be Decided
Tomorrow.
San FRANCISCO Is FAVORED
froth or Gleason, Both of Frisco, Will
Get the Fight, as Superior Facilities
Are Available in the Coast Town
Nevada Contender.

New York, Nov. 30.-Whether the
fight between Jack Johnson and Jim
Jeffries for the worlds heavyweight
championship is 10 be pulled off i'm
san Francisco or Paris, in Michigan.
Oklahoma or some other section. will
probably be determined tomorrow.
when Bob Murphy, the stakeholder.
will open bids for the big battle. II
is known that the bids for the contest
number nearly score in all, but II
is accepted as a foregone conclusion
that the great majority of them Will
be unceremoniously thrown into the
waste basket. as they are not accom-
panied by the necessary certified check
for $4,000, as stipulated i'm the articles
of agreement
The general opinion among those
well acquainted with the situation is
that the fight will be awarded either
to Coffroth or Gleason, both of whom
are San Francisco promoters. Nevada
is regarded by some as a possible scene
for the battle, but San Francisco's su-
perior facilities for handling a large
other claims. Furthermore, Gleason
and Coffroth are regarded as the two
men best qualified to pull OFF the big
mill by reason of their past expert
ence and ii is known that either can
supply the ready money with which
to meet all conditions. In private con-
versation. both Jeffries and Johnson
ha he 1,.
San Francisco promoters appear to
them to be the only men capable of
handling the big fight in a manner
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The successful bidder will probably
be required to guarantee at least $780,
600 to the fighters. Since the match
was made there has been much talk
of $4,000 and even 100000 purses.
but il is n pretty safe bet that If any
promoter guaranteed such a high fig
ure he would come out a loser. There
never was a $4,000 house, excepting.
perhaps. the one in Australia, when
Johnson and Burns fought. The gate
receipts for the Fitzsimmons -Jeffries
fight at Coney Island, the Nelson Cans
boul at Goiuntlu anu the COTDell-Jtl-
fries fight at San Francisco all fell
short of the $4,000 mark.
Another thing that will cause the
bidders to be little cautious in guar
anteeing record-breaking purses is the
fact that they cannot rely with any
certainty on the fight pictures bring
ing them in big money. From all in
dications the drawing power OF the
fight pictures is on the wane. With
the exception of the Johnson Ketchel
pictures, which are said to be bring
ing in good returns. it can be conf
IDENTIFY stated that no big money has
ever been made off the fight pictures.
When Burns and Johnson fought in
Australia William A. Brady and Klaw
and Erlanger formed n partnership
and acquired the American rights to
the pictures. According to all ac-
counts they found themselves about
100000 out of pocket as a result OF
their venture.

Hartman Worth 1OO,OOO,OOO.
New York, Sept. 1O.-The estimates
of E. H. Harriman's wealth range all
the way from s5OO0O,o00 to $780,
100000. Those most likely to have the
best information said it was probably
in the neighborhood of $780, 100000,
and that it consists chiefly of railroad
stocks and bonds.
Mr.. Hartman was a large owner Of
securities of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific systems, of the Atchi-
son. Topeka and Santa Fe road, Balti-
more and Ohio, Illinois Central, New
York Central, the Erie, Delaware and
Hudson, Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and of
the Wells-Fargo Express Company. He
was credited with being the largest
Individual stockholder in the last named
corporation, which recently acquired a
virtual monopoly of the express busi-
ness in Mexico.
MIR. Harriman's real estate holdings
are supposed to be less than SIS, 900, 900
in value, his chief property being the
estate at Arden
What disposition Mr.. Hartman made
of his property can only be conjec-
tured. The only charity he was known
to be deeply interested in was boys
club on the east side, to which he gave
a $25,000 home.
1t is the belief Of Mr. Harriman's
associates, but they are not in po-
sition to make the statement as a fact,
that some time ago, when he realized
the probability of his early death, he
