Emeryville Probably Won't Allow
1t and the Plans
Change.
TURN TO SAN FRANCISCO
But Citizens Of the Wide-Open
Paris Of America Also
Protest.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-It is
planned now to hold the ,JoInsou-Jeff-
ries fight in this city. owing to the
prospect that the local authorities in
EmeryvilIe appear likely to refuse per
mission to hold It there. The promoters
think that Mayor McCarthy's admins
tration viii approve having the con
test in San Francisco and are planning
vigorous protests if such an arrange
ment is attempted, and there is no GER
tainty vet as to where the fight can be
pulled off
Though both the fighters are continu-
ing to train and promoter Tex Rickard
declares that he VIII certainly pull the
fight off, it is beginning to appear like
~ that there viii be trouble over get
ting place. Rickard IS insured against
such contingencies as prevention of the
fight.
Some Of the leading ministers of San
Francisco have been pointing out that
practically every State in the Union
mas PdoSto laws pioAlpItIhS PliAe uSAls,
and they denounced the authorities of
EmeryviIle for bringing California into
the limelight as the only State allow
ing such exhibitions. AS a result of
this agitation, it developed today that
there was much opposition among the
officials of Alameda county, in which
Emeryville is, to allowing the fight.
Richard has appealed TO the Me
Carthv administration for a license to
allow the white and negro champions
to pummel one another in this city.
Mccarthy has declared for "wide
OPEN city. and has made San Fran
cisco more "wide OPEN than she ever
was. 1t is stated, however, that if he
attempts to bring upon San Francisco
the notoriety of being the scene of this
fight, there Will be legal proceedings to
prevent it.

SECOND IN THE WORLD

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-According
to the Year Book of the Navy, just IS
sued, the United States now leads the
world, Great Britain excepted, in the
total displacement Of completed war
ships The Year Book gives figures
showing the United States easily the
second naval power in the world.
Much interest attaches 10 the figures
showing the gains made by the United
States on other navv-bujIdinE nations.
The figures are quoted as bearing out
some of the contentious Of those who

MEETING Of
SUPERVISORS
Road Supervisor Wilson Gets d
Roast-Aylett Is Called an
Insurgent.

Emulation Of congressional methods
occupied a large portion of the super
visors' time at regular meeting held
last night Aylett started the fuss,
that being his specially recognized
privilege, and Supervisor Logan at once
placed him in the category of insur-
gents.
Ayiett suffered this through his de-
Tense Of one John Wilson, long suffer
ing road supervisor of the Honolulu dis
trict John &. Lane lately commun-
icated with the board regarding an ac-
ton of Wilson's regarding the quarry
on AleWa Heights to which the county
must pass over Lane S land. The city and
county had an arrangement with him
by which they paid him a cart load
of dirt for every day they used the
road The committee said:
1--WE were very much surprised to
find on investigating, that Mr.. Wilson
had leased the quarry and rock crusher
to Hoogs & Belser for $50 per day
without any authority from the road
committee or the board of supervisors
We do not object to the said company
or parties using the rock crusher OF
quarry, but permission SHOULD first been
granted by the board as on this par
ticuIar instance. They are using the
rock for building the road on Alewa
Heights for the Territory
Following this the committee, mean
ing Jim Quinn, handed Wilson roast
for acting without authorization by the
board. 1t was TO this roast that Aylett
objected He was finally placed in the
"insurgent category by Supervisor
Logan. who, sitting nearest to him, sui
fers the most.
Quinn said he thought the report was
very lenient and that Wilson ought tc
be struck by the comet or words to that
effect. Then motion came before the
board to hand the report back to the
committee. On this there were three
ayes and three noes, AHA who came IN

HOW GEORGE v WILL
BE CROWNED AS KING
Ancient Ceremonies viii Be
Historic Event.

London, Eng, May 9.-When King
George is crowned ceremonies which
have been shaped by centuries and
fostered by tradition will be carried
out with splendid magnificence. and
when TIE populace waiting outside
Westminster Abbey hears for the sec
ond time that morning the fanfare Of
trumpets and the daep-throated cries
Of God Save the King!" England vi
know that again Britain's ship of stat>
has duly appointed head.
Promptly at IL O'Clock on the an
pointed morning the procession will
come forth from the outermost doors
of the abbey. Before that time all CT
the robes and embIems Of sovereignty
which figure at a coronation will have
been previously taken to the pavil-
ion just outside the western portals
of the abbey, built especially for the
coronation of the king who is Just
dead
The procession win be headed by
the deans and canons of Westminster
who for centuries have held tive right
to head every procession, no matter
what its nature or who walks there
in Behind them come the king and
queen, accompanied by the lords of the
nation and other dignitaries of the
church and Stoto
As the queen enters first the Kings
Scholars students OF the ancient st.
Peters school maintained at the alb
bey who by ancient right must parti
cipate in the ceremonies, VIII sing a
Latin salutation, hailing the new
queen by name, and the old saIuta-
ton rendered from the lofty choir viii
ring out again as the king enters the
building.
The king and queen WIN then seat
themselves on the dais and the Arch
bishop of Canterbury in his robes, with
number of church and state digna-
taries will proceed with the ceremo-
MES of coronation.
This group will march around the
pavilion, first to the north, then south,
east and west, covering all points Of
the compass, and each time the arch
bishop addresses himself to the con
gregation thus:
Sire, here present to you King
George, the undoubted king of this
realm. Wherefore, all of you who
have come to do homage, are you
willing to do the same?"
At each salutation the people cry:
God Save the King!" and the trum-
pets sound a fanfare. THIS is called
The Recognition" and is followed by
an involved distribution of different
regalia of coronation to duly appoint
ed lords and prelates. The religious
ceremony then begins and at the creed
one of the lord bishops delivers the
sermon. The bishop of London de-
livered it on the occasion of King
Edwards coronation.
AT the conclusion of the sermon
which is short the oath is admins
tered to the new king. He is required
to answer formal questions and then
signs his name to the vellum.
At this juncture the fanfare of bu-I
giles again peals out and the God
Save the King" cry is heard, and
England knows that new king has
been ceremoniusly placed upon the
throne. Following this the prelatos
singly recite the oath of allegiance,
as do the lords, each one kissing the
kings left cheek after vow,ng allie
glance.
The ceremony of coronation for tle
queen, who has all the while been
taking no part, follows, but it is not
so elaborate as is the kings.
