+ Positively no Interference by the

Reno, Nevada, June 21.-With Reno
definitely fixed as the battle ground,
with 'ssurance from Governor Dick
erson that no attempt to interfere
will be made by the State authorities
and with preparations already under
way for building the arena, the JEFF
fries-Johnson fight seems certain Of
fulflment on July 4th.
The site for staging the big fight
was selected this afternoon. 1t is =
rocky field in East Reno, about e
mile and half from the heart of the
city. 1t is familiar in ring history as
the scene of the Hart and Root con-
tes of July A. 1906. 1t affords plenty
of ground for spacious structure.
On one side it is flanked by the tracks
of the Southern Pacific Railway and
on the other by trolley line
Contractor Mclaughlin went over
the place today with Rickard and the
Reno fight committee and immedi-
ately began to carry out plans al
of the arena. A building about 300
feet square, modelled along the lines
of the structure begun in San Fran
cisco, will be put up. 1t is hoped 70
have it completed by the first of next
month.
Another selection made this after
noon was training quarters for Jack
Johnson. Tom Flanagan, the cham
pion's manager, after looking over
several sites. finally settled on road
house, three miles southwest Of
Reno. known as Kicks Resort.
Jeffries will be stationed at Moana
Springs, three miles south of Reno.
A double fight will be Reno's offer
ing on July 4th, if Sid Nester sue
ceeds in carrying out his plan TO
stage the Langford and Kanpman
fight on the morning of the big battle
in the same arena. Hesten was busy
today endeavoring to arrange for a
permit and in looking over numerous
sites for training quarters for his
fighters.
Richards announcement of the sell
ection of the battle ground Cor the
Jeffries and Johnson contest vas
made in this signed statement:
II have decided to hold the Ief-
fries-Johnson fight in Reno In max
ing the selection l wish to give my
reasons for so doing. Goldfield made
an offer which it was hard to turn
down. They are the gamest lot of men
ever saw. This morning a commit
tee of Goldfield business men offered
to take me to a local bank and guar
antee me 100000. I decided on Reno,
however. for several reasons. In the
first place | did not feel that fight fans
of the East and West should be COM
PEELED to take that extra twelve hour
ride across the hot desert to Gold
field. Then again, the people from San
Francisco can get here on the morn
ing of July and leave the same
night in order to be back to business
Tuesday morning. For this reason |
think probably one or two tlousand
will come from San Francisco that
would not go to Goldfeld. The Reno
people have done all they could. They
will build suitable arena and pay
/ for the $1,000 license for me-"

The State Constitution.

While the organic law of the State
should not be lightly varied. but above
all statutes should be stable and cer-
tain, we are convinced that the time
has come when hands should be rev.
erently laid upon the Constitution of
Vermont and certain changes made
in its provisions that they may more
clearly define our political liberties
and the obligations they entail upon
us. We, therefore, commend to the
General Assembly of 1910 the report
of the commission created by autho-
rity of the General Assembly of 1908
to propose amendments to the con-
stitution of Vermont, and endorse
and approve its several recommends
tions for amendments. We cannot
too earnestly urge upon the people of
this State and their representatives
in the Legislature our unqualified be-
lief that the amendment of the consti-
tuition in these particulars Is the
most grave and responsible duty that
rs likely to confront the law makers
at the coming session and one that Is
on no account to be put aside.

Capital City Press Gets the
Big End of the State Print
ing Matter
WILL PUBLISH JOURNALS
Commissioner Langley AppOrtiOned
the Commonwealth Printing Mon
day TO the Different Concerns
Bidding, the Bulk of Which Comes
to MOntpelier.

It's a pipe" that there will be no
printing bill scandal" to come before
the next Legislature, because it is
stated on excellent authority that a
Hughes-Folk combination would be
absolutely unable to unearth any
thing that bore the slightest resemb-
lance to anything in the form of a
combination in restraint of trade" in
the nine firms that this year put in
bids for State printing.
State Printing Commissioner Frank
e. Langley of Barre announced Mon
day the State printing awards
which will be in effect for the next
two years and will be of consider
able interest to most Montpelier peo-
pie to know that the bulk of the whole
thing went to a local concern, the
Capital City Press one of the largest
an most thoroughly equipped print
ing establishments in the New Eng
land States.
This will mean that not only will
the daily proceedings of the House
and Senate be printed in this plant,
but the many bills that are bound to
be introduced into the next legisla-
tive session, will also be published
daily, so that the Capital shop will
undoubtedly find it necessary to put
on night shifts during the next ses-
sion of the Legislature. Another big
item in connection with the Capital
City's contract with the State is the
printing of the Legislative Manuel
and there are also many other docu-
ments that require a great amount of
care and still greater amount of
work in the preparation and output.
Since Charles Parker, the treasur-
er of the Capital City Press, and A. A.
Harvey, general superintendent of
the plant. have been in charge of the
establishment, they have been untir-
ing in their efforts to make it one CT
the most up-to-date places of it's kind
in New England and the result is
that they have succeeded in making
the shop a credit to the Industrial
life of Montpelier and, in fact, to the
whole State. 1t is seldom that print
ing shop OF such magnitude is found
in any city the size of Montpelier
The Capital shop now runs eight
type-setting machines, self-feeding
cylinder presses and bindery that
is without peer.
