ITS pretty tough that we should have
been allowed to go this far and then be
crushed" he lamented. I'VE will be
losers by about $4,000 If the fight does
not take place here. That sum has act
ually been spent by us up to date on the
arena and for other things, and we are
not counting upon ear $4,000 forfeit TO
the fighters either. The work on the
arena will be continued till we are posi-
lively told to stop. but before 1 make up
my mind to pull off the fight here, 1 must
have positive assurance that there will be
no interference of any sort"
WHAT CAN MAYOR DO?
Just what Mayor Mccarthy intends to
do to Illustrate, as he announces. the gov
ernor's determination to stop the contest.
is a mystery to all concerned.
Reports from Ben Lomond say that
Jim Jeffries is still incredulous over the
news that the governor has interfered.
The big fellow apparently cannot bring
himself to believe that the governor is
sincere in his instructions to the attor-
ney general. alex Johnson likewise finds
II difficult to credit the information. Both,
however, reluctantly declare that If they
cannot ngnt IN Iney VIII ledNS
it to the promoters to pick the location
for the contest as is stipulated in the ar
ticles of agreement.
Johnson made a naive suggestion as to
the way out Of the dilema.
JOHNsONS NAIVE PLAN.
"All I want is to fight" he said. 'If
I break any of the laws Of the state l
am willing to settle for it afterward"
The negro champion did not seem to be
much perturbed over the situation. "Of
course I'll go right along with my train
ing" he said. II will be ready to go into
the ring anywhere the promoters pitch it,
and in order to fulfill my part of the
agreement. I'll be ready on the specified
date"
Louis Blot, who is promoting the Kauf-
man-Langford contest, scheduled to be
held here next Saturday. declares he
will carry out his plans for that event,
despite the governors orders to the con-
trary.
BY switching the fight from San Fran
cisco to some other point. the promoters
assert they stand to lose a large sum.
1t is estimated that the gate receipts.
II the fight Is held here, will be in the
neighborhood Of half a million dollars.
Taht sum will be very materially reduced
If 1t is necessary to change the scene.
NOT POLITICAL PLAY.
Governor Gillett in an interview given
out at Sacramento last night denied that
political considerations prompted his act
ion in the fight matter. He declared also
that his action was not Influenced by the
telegram to President Wheeler of the San

Stopped Fight to Save
Bio Canal Exposition

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The move
of the state authorities of California to
stop the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight Is
believed in Washington to have had its
origin in a telegram which Representa-
tive Bennett Republican of New York;
sent to William r. Wheeler, president
of the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce on May %. The telegram was to
the effect that the moral sentiment of
the country was so opposed to the fight,
that unless 1T was prevented there was
grave danger that congress would take
unfavorable action on the resolution
now before it, naming San Francisco the
place for holding the international cele-
bration of the opening Of the Panama
canal. Mr.. Bennett is a member of the
foreign affairs committee of the house
which has the exposition resolution I'M
der consideration.
He recently received a telegram from
San Francisco asking his support of the
resolution for the San Francisco fair
He replied as above stated. When in
formed today that Governor Gillett had
moved to call off the fight Mr.. Bennett
was much gratified. He said:
Prize fighting is prohibited by law in
my state and in most all states. The
sentiment of the country is, 1 believe,
strongly opposed to such exhibitions"
In response to Mr.. Bennet's telegram
he received one from Mr.. Wheeler,
which said:
Please urge on your committee that
the public spirited citizens promoting
the San Francisco exposition and people
generally interested therein are not IA
vorable to the Jeffries-Johnson fight.
Undoubtedly the preponderating MAORI
ty of our people are opposed to the
fight 1t would be decidedly unjust to
consider the latter proposition in con-
nection with the former"

This office has been receiving requests

that struck me as especially worthy Of at

a fire plug, which is a serious matter; but

Securing the harmony desired is not al
ways as easy as it may seem Too often
the home builder, having seen somewhere
a house he liked, is inclined to reproduce
it. not thinking that the location and color
effect are essential to the success. The
result is a Colonial house on a mountain
slope and Swiss chalet on a city lot, or
a highly ornamented building on a narrow

None the less important is the selection

the presence or absence of trees or shrub

boring houses and their color-all ought
to affect the decision in the proper paint
ing of the home.
The tendency to avoid the extra orna

painting a much easier problem today
Unquestonably, simplicity is the first rult

your color scheme. Use as few colors as
possible, and select those with a view not
only to their popularity, but to their dur
ability and effectiveness when used on your
house. a building in the country or on
large building lot, with an abundance OF
shrubbery should be light rather than
dark in color Colors like cream, Colonial
yellow Italian gray silver gray sand
stone and russet are generally successful
when used either as solid colors or trimmed
with white or dark harmonious colors
Dark red often looks well on a large, plain
house, either in the open or surrounded by
trees. The effect is to diminish the house
in size rather than to enlarge it. Grays
and drabs are associated in the mind with
states and stones, and, therefore, give a
solid appearance. Ivory is a very popular
color, not so old as white, but giving the
effect of strength and permanence. In
Pointing a house on a city lot avoid prom
inent colors. Quiet tones with slightly
darker trimming, or the same color
throughout, are better than numerous
coors. Here, particularly, it is important
to note carefully the color of neighboring
houses in order to avoid monotony and Of
fensive contrast.
The obtaining Of desired colors for paint
ing in these days is not so difficult as
formerly, for the manufacturers Of good
paint all give very careful attention to
this problem of attractive colors. Their
color cards show the great variety, and no
