4 FOREST RANGER
 KILLED BY HIS WIFE
She Has No Recollection of the
 Tragedy.

Tampa, Col, June 15.-Sidney Moylle, a forest ranger who was shot by his young wife yesterday afternoon at his camp on Fish creek. twenty miles northwest of here, died this morning. The young woman declares that she has no recollection of the shooting. which she says must have been done when she was in a frenzy of pain from severe heart attack.
 According to Thomas Cook, who was at the camp, MOylle suddenly dashed from the cabin, pursued by his wife, revolver in hand. Twice around the cabin she chased him, and then when the building cut them from his sight he heard two shots. Rushing to the scene, he found Moylle on the ground with a wound in his right side. Mrs. Moylle stood over her husband appar- ently in daze, and did not recollect her senses for some time.
 According to pr. J. H. Cole, Moylle made a deathbed statement eXonerat- ing his wife. The woman was a suf- ferer from heart attacks and just be- fore the shooting is said to have talk en a quantity of strychnine.

THE SHOCK AT BEN LoMoND.
Jeffries Could Not at First Believe the
 Story.

Ben Lomond. June 15-The Jeffries camp is in an uproar this afternoon because of the governors threat to stop the big fight When Jeffries was informed that the governor had in- structed the attorney general to take steps to stop the fight he froze up and refused to discuss the matter. but later he made the following statement:
 T positively refuse to believe the story. l don't care what is said or who talked to him over the telephone. l simply will not believe that it is true. I don't know much about law, but my understanding is that we are within the law and protected by it. All the articles of agreement signed by John son and myself were the same as had been signed for every fight fought in California. Gillett once said he could not stop the fight so how is he going to do it? l will continue with my training until I am informed by the promoters that the affair cannot come off"
 This was the extent of the former champions decision on the-hearing of the news When the news was broken lO llll as It TtSltU bil lne DOTCn Ol his cottage he was visibly shocked at first, after which he became so tao turn that it was impossible to get a word out of him. Mrs Jeffries who was with him turned pale when she heard the report.
 Jim Corbett was thunderstruck but when he heard that the governor had personally vouched for the story over the long distance telephone he said:
 I guess it's true all right, but it is mighty hard to believe. You must ad- init that Gillett does not seem to be the sort of a man who would let the promoters go to all the expense they have and then throw them down. Then look at us fellows who travelled all the way across the continent, spending our time and money. It seems more like cruelty. to me, than justice. "
 Jeffries seemed the least perturbed man in the camp as the result of the latest crash in the plans for the fight The entire camp following. including friends and trainers, stood around in little groups discussing what they con- sidered a calamity of the first magni- tude None of them can understand it after the governor permitted the ar engagements to proceed so far. It is estimated here that 3O.OOO visitors will be kept away If the fight is not held in San Francisco.
 While the camp was still boiling with indignation over the governors instructions to his attorney general newspaperman seeking Jeffries to ask him in regard to the reported move to Salt Lake City. found him blissfully slumbering in a tent cot on the porch of his little cottage. Jeffries refused to state whether he would take the promoters s1O,O0O forfeit in the event of their being unable to hold the big contest.

 Chief Inspector Mayer subsequently, gave out 2 statement in which he charges tIfat although the company has been running at loss the price of its shares has been advancing by manipulation to fictitious values, and that individual officers of the company have sold out their stock to the gen eral public at a profit estimated in one instance at between S5,000,000 and $10,OOO, ,00O.
 Wilson was released on $25,0O bail and Bogart on S1O,0O0 for appearance on July F, when further hearing will be held before federal commissioner. lOlnpklllS was dTItSltu at HIS ldIHl near Mohopac Falls, N.

 There are 2S,O00 shareholders of the company throughout the country said Inspector Mayer, many of whom have placed their savings in the stock of the company through false representa- tions.

Among the more important provisions defeated were an amend ment by Mir Beveridge specifically withdrawing from entry the coal lands of Alaska. and one by MT. Gore bring ing the friar lands of the Philippines within the corporations of the general land laws. There was no roll call on the final passage of the bill.
 Mir. Dixon presented an amendment authorizing the appointment of con servation commission of fifteen. Mir Hepburn sought to have the amend ment so changed as to provide that all members of the commission be select ed from west of the tooth meridian. He said the east was not interested in conservation and customers were not familiar with the subject.
 Tn my prophe tic mind I see MT. Clifford Pinchot at the head of the commission" he said We want no such commission, no such masters" He said he vas opposed to the com mission on general principles and con tended that it was intended ito make places for some. people and give the commission an air of exclusion and imperial power"
 MT. Gallinger agreed with Mir Hey burn and said: If the misfortune overtakes us of having at the head of the commission the gentleman men tioned. l can see that nothing but trouble will come of it."
 Senators Overman, Clark of Wy oming. Lodge and Gallinger opposed the amendment and it was withdrawn. After further discussion the Dixon was laid on the table.

 Her Body Was Found.

Como. Italy. June 15.-The authOri- ties believe that Porter Charlton is alive. They claim to have evidence that he was seen the evening of the day that the body of Mrs. Mary Scott Charlton was found in Lake Como. That would eliminate the theory of a double murder, and the police believe Charlton committed suicide.
 The American ambassador, MT. Leishman, however, is determined to give the missing man the benefit of the doubt and has arranged with the Italian authorities to have the bottom of the lake thoroughly explored.
 Of the Russian. Ispoloff, the authOri- ties are certain he has not yet told all he knows about the dOmestice life of the Charltons and of the murder

THE CRIMP APPLIED.
The Governor Uproots a Favorite
 California Sport.

San Francisco, June 15.-Forced to action by insistent protests from all parts of the state, Governor James N. Gillett took steps today to prevent the championship fight between James j. Jeffries and Jack Johnson, sched- uled to be held in this city July 4. In a letter of instruction to Attorney General U & Webb, the governor eX- presses his disapproval of prize-fight- ing in unmeasured terms. directs that the aid of the courts be invoked to prevent the match and concludes with a positive order that in case the plea for restraining order is granted and the fight is carried out, the attorney general shall proceed to gather evil dence and prosecute the principals and those interested in the fight for a violation of the penal code of the state.
 WHAT IS A PRIZE-FlGHT?
 The letter declares that the supreme court of California has never defined a prize-fight, and he suggests that an opportunity be given it to do so. This is taken to indiate the governors in tention to press his opposition to the end. and while the status of the Jef- fries Johnson fight is in an unsettled condition tonight the sporting fra ternity is much cast down, and it is generally believed that the death kneH of prize fighting in California, the Mecca of prize fighters" accord ing to the governors letter, has been sounded This is borne out by the fact that the governor telegraphed to General Webb later in the day to take similar action in the matter of the fight between Sam Langford and Al Kaufman, which was to have been fought here next Saturday
 RICHARD NOT WITHOUT HOPE.
 Promoters Rickard and Gleason of the big fight were completely taken by surprise. They had no whisper of the governors intended action un- til the letter was published. When the news reached him, Rickard rushed to the office of General Webb and asked what that official proposed to do. After a conference with Webb, Rickard said that he believed the fight would be held in San Francisco. and on the advertised date, despite the governors orders. He said that he could not say positively what he would do until Webb handed down an opinion. Yet Rickard has no in tention of abandoning the effort to

The nearest one at least was armed, though it was so dark that the faces of the men could not readily be distinguished. No word was spoken. The highwaymen were evidently sur p-iSed at the suddenness with which the horse sDrang forward in response to a blow from Bucks whip. They were given no opportunity to grap the reins. They did not even have time to call out the usual hands up" before the carriage and it's occupants were flashing wildly down the road.

 You can bet your last dollar that the big fight will be pulled off in my town just as advertised" said Mayor Me- Carthy of San Francisco tonight when he learned of the action of Governor Gillett.
 T would like to ask the governor of California" continued MT. McCar- thy, If he thinks he can step into my town and tell us what we must do, and what we shall not do. We know what we want and we get wh3t we want when we want it.
 'The big thing that we want just now is the scrap. which l say to you will be fought in San Francisco on July 4, governor, attorney general and all the rest of them to the con- trary, notwithstanding"
 Asked what he would do if the national guard forces were ordered to stop the mill, Mccarthy said: T tell you We run San Francisco, and We run it to suit ourselves. We have policemen to do what we tell them to do. The best bet of the day is that somebody will be badly licked in San Francisco on July 4, and by that I mean either Jeffries or John- son."

These utterances epitomize the eX- pressiOn of what sporting circles be- lieve is a final farewell to pugilism in California. They are hopeless, since Governor Gillett directed the attorney general to proceed against the John son-Jeffries match, and are figuring out the transportation to Reno, Ely or Salt Lake. The fight will be held in one of those three places. It cer- tainly will not be held in California. if the governor can prevent, and sportdom believes he can.
