was never broken up. as most OF the
fans were led 70 believe. They say that
the deal went all the way and that
Gleason. seeing his chance TO cut in
with Rickard. put the stunt through,
but. incidentally. kept his faith with
Coffroth. In other words, Cofroth was
a silent partner to the transaction and
Rickard was not "wised up" to the lit
tie joker in the match making deck
Now. they say. he is about TO make
thorough investig cation.
Upon his arrival from New York
more than a week ago Gleason declared
positively that Coffroth had nothing
whatever to do with the big fight. And
he might have said this very honestly
without telling a falsehood either Cof-
froth was kept so well in the back
ground that nobody could have showed
where he was an active participant IN
the affair. But Gleason did not tell all
he knew and nobody can blame him
for not telling, either.
From outward appearances Rickard
is really the active promoter. It was
he who put up the $4,000 in cash and
il was he who did all the talking about
the battle ground and the referee and
the division of the purse. He never
told anybody how much of an interest
Gleason has nor did Gleason commit
himself on this score. The fun Will
wax interesting if it is shown that
Coffroth is getting ready to cut off a
heavy slice.
Back in little old New York they are
absolutely sure that Graney viii ref
cree the fight. Though Eddie siren
uously denied that he was after the
job and appeared insulted when it was
suggested that they might offer it to
rim, it appears that the blacksmith did
a lot Of wise politics He managed to
line Rickard, johnson and Little up in
his behalf and thus he viii start with
a big lead over all his probable rivals
for the important position.
IT is not known how well Graney
stands in the Jeffries camp. He used
TO be very friendly with the big boiler
maker himself. but JEFF has changed a
lot since the good old days when
Graney was wont to referee most of
his big fights. which Cohroth promoted
here in San Francisco.
The chances are that CofTroth will
have a rival in San Mateo county next
year, that is if his license is not re-
voked. The Mission club, as announced
yesterday, has made an application for
2 permit TO the San Mateo supervisors.

THE JAR QUESTION
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES MUCH
CONCERNED OVER THE CALI
FoRNIA AGITATION.
AGREEMENTS JEOPARDIzEO
Pending Negotiations And Those A.
ready Completed Are Endan-
gered by the Sacramento
Discussion.


Washington, Feb. S.-No single
question nor, indeed, any group o.
questions Is absorbing the interest
and concern Of the administration Al
this moment to the same extent as
certain of the phases of the anti-Jap
anese agitation in California.
The president has been In commu
nication with many reputable persons
who should be thoroughly informed
as to the conditions on the Pacific
coast. 1t is admitted that a system.
attic agitation was In progress on the
coast, but significant feature Of its
lack of strength was the fact that the
labor leaders hid taken no prominent
part in It, It even has been stated to
the administration that the real main.
spring of the agitation was to be
found In some of the great corpor-
atoms that had found their profitable
business Of coolie transportation
threatened with destruction by the
success attending the efforts Of the
administration to stop this class Of
immigration. For the fact is, that in
the opinion Of the administration the
negotiations with Japan for a practi-
cally complete closure of American
ports to the entry of Japanese labor.
ers are certainly jeopardized, by the
extreme utterances Of certain per-
sons in California, and by the mere
consideration of such resolutions as
were entertained Monday by the Ne
vada legislature.
Even agreements already reached,
which are being carried out In perfect
good faith on the part of the japanese
government, are regarded as endan-
gered, In the sense that the present
agitation might very naturally tend
to abate the interest Of the Japanese
officials In the execution Of their OBJ
legations in view Of the unfriendly at
tltude assumed by some elements on
the Pacific coast. 1t is these consid-
erations that have influenced the pres.
ldent in concluding that everything
possible should be done to prevent
legislation by any state that would
discriminate against the Japanese as
a class apart from other foreign ele-
ments entering America
There is no objection whatever by
the administration to laws prohibiting
all aliens from holding land in Amer
lea. For this is now, under the re-
vised statutes, the law In the District
of Columbia and the territories and
some Of the states. Indeed, there is
a similar law In Japan and the gov
eminent of that country consequently
could not regard 1t as anti-Japanese
legislation If adopted in California.
The president has entire confidence in
he people of the Pacific coast and is
certain they will do right in this mat
ter.
The administration is much pleased

10 Designed to Control lnterStatd
Shipments Of Liquor And Put

Business.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Next Wednes
day 10 the tentative date set for the
house to act on the proposal to reg
ulate the interstate shipments Of in
toxicating liquors. Consideration oil
the revision OF the penal code then
will be resumed, and the first subject
to come up will be the liquor cues
ton.
After several conferences with
Speaker Cannon, Representative Wat
son, the Republican whip" Chair
man Moon Of the revision committee,
and others, Representatives Hum
phreys (Miss.) and Miller (Kan.)r
have prepared 3 new bill. This will
be offered by Mr.. Humphreys as
substitute for his amendment to the
original bill, offered before the holi'
days.
The new bill which has the sanction
of the leaders on both sides Of the
house, Is practically the same as the
Knox bill which passed the senate
early in this congress.
The bill strives to accomplish the
marking of the contents Of vessels;
the making certain Of the delivery Of
Intoxicating liquor only to bonGfide
consIgnees and not to fictitious per
sons, and the prevention Of the d.
livery OF liquors c. 0. d. All these
regulations apply only to interstate
shipments, railroad companies, ex'
press companies and other common
carriers being punishable for viola
tons.
Advocates Of the proposed legisla'
ton claim that It avoids the alleged
unconstitutional features Of the Little
field bill. That measure made liquor
shipped from one state to another
subject to state laws as soon as II
crossed the boundaries Of the states.

Panama, Feb. 3.-William H. Taft

The engineers have decided to
recommend that bre&kwaters be built

waters will be s1O.OOO,OOO, the same
amount estimated in the old plan fol-
