Then, too, the Mormon church has
not cared to stand sponsor for the fight
The state officers, who hold their jobs
by virtue of the church, are unwilling
to risk getting in BAD by declaring
for the bout here. Ogden is making
an effort to land the mill, but it has
no chance. 1t is in Weber county, for
ty miles from here, and has held fights
In the past, but 1t is not given a ghost
Of chance by local enthusiasts.
Richard is so set against San Fran
cisco, which means a defeat for his
avowed principles, that he is even adj
vancing Los Angeles now in opposition
to Gleason's scheme. He appears mind
full of the statement he made in Chi
cago that he stood ready to wager $5,-
600 that CGnroth would have nothing
to do with the fight and that 1t would
never be staged in the Colma arena
He has not mentioned that wager for
some time now.
There is general regret among bust
ness men here over the fact that Salt
Lake City is going to lose the battle
They have been confident all along that
Richard would pull 1t off here, but at
that are satisfied with the free adver-
Using that has come their way As
Richard said in Chicago, You couldn't
buy that kind of advertising" Which
IS some consolation to alt Lake City.

BIG BOUT WILL NO DOUBT
Be HELD At C0LMA, CAL.

Salt Lake City, Feb. 9.-The Jeffries-
Johnson fight was practically given to
Jimmy Coffroths Colma club last night
Tex Richard has all but admitted that
he is beaten, and has practically given
in to the California proposition. The
conference yesterday was a sweeping
victory for Gleason, although neither
promoter would discuss the affair to
any great extent
Three arenas are being considered,
and all are in or near the Golden Gate
Colma is the best bet at present with
San Mateo and San Francisco itself
ranging behind In the order named. 1t
has been the general belief among
sporting men the country over that
when the real showdown comes that
Jimmy Coffroth's finger would be seen
in the pie. Latest developments have
lent strength to this opinion.
Tex Richard was gloomy last night.
Gleason, on the other hand, was in
clined to be trifle "chesty.' Their
conference was of the briefest charac-
ter and was most unsatisfactory to
Richard. His pet scheme of staging
the fight of fights in this city got a
fearful knock on the head when Coun-
ty Attorney Lyons yesterday said that
he would stop the bout. This means
that If Governor Spry should let it
pass Ions will prevent the battle.

SAYS THE GAME
HAS APPENDICITIS
Old Harvard Star Halls For.
ward Pass as Useless.

New York, Feb 9.-FootbaIl has ap-
nan, who is his undergraduate days at
Harvard was selected as an All-Ameri-
can full back. Here is his diagnosis:
The football rules committee is a
board of surgeons. Its patient, foot
ball. has acute APPENDICITIS, and the for
ward pass is the diseased vermiform
appendix. totally useless and highly
dangerous.
But because the game needs surg
ical operation there is no need to cut off
it's head. The disease can easily be
cured by an operation which goes to
the root of the malady and eradicates
1t.
IT believe that If the fourteen sur
geons who are now. working on the
patient will but return to the game
which we had in 1898 and 1899, with
those notifications needed because the
defense is so much better played today
than it used to be, the sufferer will be
cured. The present tandem and the
onside kick must go with the forward
pass.
"All in all, I think the progress to-
ward proper and adequate football re-
form is now well under way and the
public will have no fears but that the
game, as 1t is finally evolved by the
committee, will be all it should be. At
any rate, 1t ought to be given a years
practical trial by the big teams before
the public attempts to come to final
decision"

SPECIAL SESSION MAY
DECIDE FATE OF KING
Hermann Issues Call for
Meeting of National Com
mission Feb. %.

The fate of Johnny King, the Cub
holdout who has applied for reinstate-
ment, will probably be known on Feb.
%. President Johnson of the American
league announced yesterday that he had
received notice from Chairman Herr
mann of the national commission call
ing a special meeting of that body on
the above date. Mystery surrounds the
purpose of the gathering, as Hermann
failed to state anything in detail. but
it is taken to mean that the applica-
ton of King vii be the principal busf-
ness to come up for disposal.
The date of the meeting is four days
before the departure of the Cub squad
on their spring training trip to New
Orleans and in the event of the COM
mission giving out decision of the
case Killing would know his fate in
time to prepare to accompany his old
team mates, provided the act of the
commission is favorable. There is a
possibility, however. of the supreme
court of baseball acting upon the case
and then Withholding their final de-
cision until near the opening of the
season. When asked whether he had
anything to say regarding the case of
King, Johnson answered in the mega
tive.
II have nothing to say regarding
king, said johnson. "as I have been
away and am not thoroughly in touch
with the situation. 1t is up to Chair
man Hermann to take the initiative
steps. and we will have to await word
from him. I know nothing of the re-
port enamating from Cincinnati to the
effect that either MERCY or F'lanner
of my office have been appointed to the
task of delving into the details re-
garding the blacklisting of the one
time Cub star"

A LOGICAL Reply to Sylvanus

Dear Household: l have tnouknt iOI e.iaN
time ! would come in and give Sylvanus STUBS
and others that like to argue on woman's SUI
frage few Of my thoughts. The most ire
auently repeated argument used by the most
ignorant Is ''woman's place is home. every
dsy the fight for the recognition or woman as
mans equal grows bigger. and every day crops
IN snne new evidence that woman suffrage
Is necessary for tire progress OF the world.
woman's place is wherever she has an oceu-
patton most suitable TO her individual aellitles,
and as there are more women than men IN the
world every woman cannot have a home and De
same man'e little angel" and have the op-
portunities Of making home paradise iof
''hubhy.' Therefore. many are forced out into
the world where they work side by side with
men as hard and even better than the men,
and receive less pay because they cannot vote.
The woman whose place is home need not
give up her home when she votes. IL Will only
take a few minutes 10 vote and she VIII not
spend the rest OF the day, as many men DO
in the ccrner saloon drinking, gambling and
mud singing" Having done her duty TO her
country, herself and Der children. she can re-
turn home and do her duty there, cooking or
serving the superior husband who is probably
rounding out election day by drinking muen
as he can hold much as he is able TO
find men 20 treat him.
Another argument about woman suffrage IL
that IL n foolish argument, as inability to fight
does not disable them from governing; many
men who act as leaders, ambassadors, etc. never
fought In a battle end perhaps never win.
and then that may be the solution Of the whole
difficulty-men may be better fighters than
women, and women may be better governors

Political Equality

Dear Miss Thomas: / very pleasantly
surprised to see my letter to our Huosehold
in print because 1t had reference to woman s
influence in public. Until quite recently II mes
been the general rule In the south 10 carefully
exclude an items that referred to the enfran-
chlsement of women. Lately a happy chanse
is taking place and the papers that neglect or
disregard woman's suffrage and woman's In
huence in all the common walks of life, IS
being ignored by the general reading public
At the north and west during the past 40
years woman's influence in public mas been
surprising. The sad hindrance TO woman sur
frage is that women are not properly prepared
for the glorious change which destiny or U-
vine power is 30 rapidly forcing upon them.
II women would only lay aside all the use
less and expensive modes of fashion In dress
which dragging them down to beds of dis
ease and to untimely graves, and clothe them
selves in garments Of comfort they would lay
a proper Foundation for public influence and
usefulness. Political equality, woman's sut-
frage, is an established fact. 1t is the honest
duty Of women to properly inform themselves
and properly prepare themselves for this re-
sponsibe duty,
The northwestern women especially deserve
much praise for their labor and expense in this
great movement, and the men much honor tor
their loyslty and help in the cause of equal
liberty for mothers, sisters, wives and daugh-
tiers. i truly glad 10 know that the Ma
tional American Woman's Suffrage association
at Warren. Ohio, is able to send out -mucn
valuable information with reference to women
as enfranehised citizens Of our nation. All who
arc interested can write and get plenty of the
very best kind of political literature.
Our Household seems the most interesting and
helpful part of The Journal to yours truly
