Is believed that the Southern Pa
cific, together with other powerful
concerns, intimated to Governor Gill
lett that the fight ought not to be
held. This theory of what it was
that prompted the governors sud
den decision TO stop the fight ac-
counts for the fact that for several
months past the governor has been
assuring ali inquiries that he would
not interfere.
Opponents JubfIant.
The law abiding people of the
state are jubilant. The governor s
action gratifies a hope long deferred.
The sporting element of San Fran
cisco, the two fighters and their
friends are .correspondingly depress-
ed. The general inclination among
them is to concede that the fight
cannot be held in San Francisco.
Jack Gleason and TEX" Richard,
the two promoters who purchased
the fight concessions here in San
Francisco, refused to admit that
there is no hope left. This optimism
may possibly be founded on the fact
that Richard and Gleason have al
ready spent a good deal of money
in the expectation that the fight was
not to be interfered with. How much
Richard and Gleason paid the of
flcials for the fight concession is. of
course, not known; but it is known
that they have already put 100000
into the construction of the arena
in which the fight was to have been
held. 1t is hard to make the two
promoters believe that they are go
ing to lose this and the concession
money outright.
Sees n BoorhoIe.
AS soon as the news of the COVER
nor's action was flashed to him Rick
ard rushed to Attorney General
Webb's Office. He was assured there
that the governor meant business,
but the attorney general gave him
some hope by saying that he had yet
to investigate the law on the subject
of prize fights in California, and that
possibly he might be able to report
to his superior that the Jefries-
Johnson ''go" is not a prize fight in
the purview of the laws of Califor-
MIA. The laws of California permit
sparring matches; they make prize
fights a felony.

Tho man came to the Van Nuys and
registered from san Francisco. He
seemed to be a pretty decent sort of Il

after he came he went to a clothing
store and bought a bill of goods
amounting to $3.50. He had them sent

they were presented at the desk

they had. lie took his key and went
to his room, and that's the last that
has been seen of Mr.. Brown"
The only clue he left was a card case

and he knows something about what a

Fred Wood isn't particular what the

believes it would be an excellent thing
for the local clerks to have such an
organization, and is willing to do any
thing in his power to promote the
project.
Mr.. Van Duren's idea in organizing
a Greeters club, instead of a Don't
Worry club, is that the association
may belong to the National Greeters
club. which is to be organized in Den

all Los Angeles hotel clerks may at

project and forming definite plans for
its organization. Just when and where
this smoker will be held will be an

Some Women &c

Mrs. TOM HOOD, wife of a we'll
N known American painter, is in
~ Paris, and at the present time
enjoying an attack of chronic peeve
because two officers, one in the Aus
trian and the other in the Swiss army,
who she left in Switzerland, are bother
ing her in the daily mail with threats
of suicide and duel because she played
with them and ran off without marry
ing either of them. Mrs. Tom is accus-
toned to the oodfellowship of Bo-
hemian circles, where you can do al
most anything and never think, even
for a moment, of following it with
matrlmony. She does not understand
the attitude of the two military men.
She sSated with one of them and to-
bogganed with the other, lunched with
the Swiss and dined with the Austrian,
and then forgot them both.
She was informed at one time that
they were fighting a duel for her hand,
and she fastened to the spot OF the
conflict and arrived just a minute too
early. If she had arrived a second
later both of them might have been
killed Although somewhat grieved
and disheartened by her error, she
made the best of it and handed the
two gentlemen a little lecture on the
subject of common good sense and left
them under no illusions regarding her
feelings toward either of them. To put
it bluntly, she told them to behave and
go home. But 1t broke out again after
she left Paris.
