RialtO Gossip

was received here with sincere regret
by all sportsmen who were so fortunate
as to know him. 1t was quite a Shock
too as nobody ever dreamed that
George would entertain such desperate
ideas or that he was in such health as
to suggest suicide. He was rated as
the best all-round billiard player on
the coast, and won many match games
and tournaments. He formerly ran the
billiard rooms owned by Hen Berry
over the Hoffman, and had wide
circle of friends here. He was unmar-
ried and nobody seems to know If he
had any relatives. Ill health is as
signed as the cause for his rash deed.
Although Reno seems to have the
call in the matter of selection or the
site for the Jeffries-Johnson fight,
Goldheld is not to be eliminated by
any manner of reckoning. The boost
ers from that city saw Rickard last
night and fatty announced their de-
sires by asking him to name the terms
on which he would take the fight to
the gold camp Goldfield wants the
fight so much that it is willing to buy
up 5000 seats at $40 a throw and will
indemnify the promoters against all
loss. That is an awful stiff argument
for Reno to meet, even with its loca-
ton on a transcontinental line. The
start of 100000 on the big purse, with
the privilege of selling all remaining
seats is a big one and one that Rick
ard cannot afford to overlook.
With two world championship fights
on the same day Reno or Goldheld,
whichever gets to be the lucky city,
will be the target for all the sporting
eyes of the world July 4. With Lang
ford and Stanley Ketchel fighting in
the forenoon and Jeffries and Johnson
doing business in the afternoon it sure
will be one big day for any city, re-
gardless of size The double-header
attraction will draw thousands of men
with money into the city where the
scraps are to be staged.

JEFFRlES AND PARTY LEAVE
FOR sAGEBRUsH STATE TODAY

Jefries, accompanied by his trainers
sparring partners, court testers. one
manager and several of the women
folks of his party, will bid adieu to Ben
Lomond tomorrow noon and Will be Off
for the sage brush belt, just over the
California line.
From the quiet retreat in the Santa
Cruz mountains, where Jeffries trans
formed himself from farmer to fighter,
the former champion will go to oak
land and will spend the day at Dick
Adams hotel, until the train leaves
at D. m.
II Jeffries was in q good bumor to-
day he kept his joy concealed about
his person. He had little to say, refer
ring to Berger all matters concerning
the departure from Ben Lomond and
the plans for the encampment at
Reno.
De Witt Van Court, formerly boxing
instructor at the Olympic club in San
Francisco, and the man who suggested
Jeffries' name when Corbett was look
ing for a sparring partner during ms
training for Fitzsimmons at Carson
City, arrived here today. He Will ac-
company Jeffries to Nevada and will
probably be one of the seconds i'll the
ring on the day of the fight.
Jeffries took to the road for nine
miles this morning, but was forced to
cancel the afternoon program, punc-
ture in an automobile tire while he was
taking pleasure ride after lunch de-
laying him until it was too late to do
any work. He intends boxing with
Choynski and Armstrong tomorrow.
The difficulty arising with the hotel
management on account of Jenries,
hurried departure from Ben Lomond
has been adjusted and there is little

BOTH CAMPS ARE WAITING
ORDERS FROM TEX TO MOVE

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-W1th
the departure of Tex Rickard today for
Reno the question of the location or
the heavyweight championship battle
of July was shifted definitely from
California to Nevada. When the inter-
view which Mayor Mccarthy held yes
terday with Governor Gillett failed to
produce any positive results the pro-
Inoters admitted that the last chance
of holding the fight in this state had
gone glimmering and the command
went forth from Rickard to the train
ing camp to pack up their baggage for
a Journey to Nevada.
Both camps have obeyed orders and
are now awaiting final instructions
from Rickard, who reached Reno to-
night. AS he expects to hold an imme-
diate conference with the respective
fight promotion committees from Reno
and Goldfeld it is believed that the
two camps will receive marching or
ders early tomorrow.
That active preparations are being
made to shift the Langford- Ketchel
fight to Nevada was made manifest
today, when Joe Woodman instructed
his Reno representative to secure
training quarters at Reno for Sam

4 QUESTION OF METHODS.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Assuming that the enormous and
unprecedented popularity of Theodore
Roosevelt is based. to a great extent. on
the belief of the people that he sincerely
and honestly desires To remedy govern
mental abuses and evils which exist, is this
confidence in the integrity of his intentions
accompanied by an equal confidence i'll the
efficacy of the proposed methods?
On the principle that any action taken in
the direction of Il change i'll our funda-
mental institutional theories and traditions
should be taken only after Il reasonable
gertrude that it is desirably remedial has
been experienced. only after it is known
that the curative attributes of the new
status are permanent, and only after it is
clearly demonstrated that the tendencies
and effect of the altered governmental re-
lations are not productive of opportunities
to new and different evilS-On this broad
principle of reasonable conservatism, DO
the admirers of Theodore Roosevelt attrib-
ute to him both the purity of purpose and
the far sightedness of craftsmanship which
would warrant this nation in intrusting to
his guidance and direction and supervision
the correction of the commercial and gov
ernmental and ethical difficulties of this
day?
Have they surmised that the wrongs and
difficulties experienced by all of us now are
more ethical and religious i'll their essence
than Legislative? Have they imagined that
we are suffering merely the natural but
temporary consequences of the commercial
development of an enormous continent and
that the greatly divergent temperament
and needs of the different sections of this
great country emphasize more than ever
the advsa Dility OF permitting each section
wisely to adjust itself to its peculiar en-
vironment and circumstances? Have they
realized tho direction of events, steered by
MI Roosevelt, and do they suspect that
some day they may find that having put
their hands TO the plough they must turn
back? BENJAMIN r. GRAVELY

CHEAP TACTICS.

The continued efforts of five OF the
twelve members of the Baliinger-Plncbot
committee to put their views before the
country as the views of majority OF
the committee argue an underestimate
on their part of the intelligence and fair
ness of the general public. The primary
rule in American politics is that the tai
shall not assume TO wag the dog-tnat

the powers of the majority To take ad-
vantage of the temporary absence OF

good at the sessions of the committees
of each house. Why should joint COM
mittee of the House and Senate sitting
at Minneapolis not display the fairness
and courtesy toward absenteeS which, il
il were sitting at Washington, it would
display as matter of course?
Whatever may be the value of the
findings of the five minority members
of the committee. their unreasonable at
titude will greatly weaken the force OF
their verdict. If they have reason on
their side-though an impartial reading
of the testimony fails to indicate that
they haye-they can well afford to sub
nit their case i'll an orderly and decorOuS
fashion. The seven other members are

THE HAGUE AWARD on COAST
TtTERS

Examination of the full text of the
fisheries award. which we publish this
morning, with acknowledgements of the
enterprise of the Canadian Associated
Press, confirms the assumption which
we based upon the first fragmen-
iary reports, that the decision OF the
tribunal at The Hague on the fifth point
at issue leaves The general question Of
sovereignty over coast waters quite IN
settled The award reaffirms the well es-
tablished rule of the three-nile limit on
open coasts and in bays and other inlets
the entrances TO which are not more than
six miles wide Beyond that it defines
the limits of number of the bays of the
Newfoundland and Canadian coasts and
formulates a rule for the bounding of
them all: but these latter it does not
mandatorily prescribe, but merely "rec-
-'ommends for the consideration and
acceptance of the high contracting par
ties
One of these recommendations deals
with number Of bays in much detail
and processes 10 give boundaries which
do not, Of course, conform with the
three-mile rule, but which are those at
'and within which fishermen might be
reasonably expected to recognize the
bay under average conditions The
idea. apparently, is to class as territorial
waters tnlets, however wide, which,
though not land-locked or estuarial, are
readily recognizable as lying within the
general outline Of the coast and are thus
geographically distinguishable from the
high seas-a rule under which Kent's
principle, which we cited yesterday,
would be confirmed and the waters with
IN, for example, a line drawn from Cape
Ann to Cape Cod, or three miles out
fberefrom, would be under our territorial
sovereignty.
The other recommendation is that in
all other cases wherever q bay or inlet
is not more than ten miles wide at its
entrance all the included waters, 10
line three miles seward from a line
between the headlands, shall be deemed
territorial. That is the principle, as we
observed yesterday, which was adopted
By Great Britain and France in 1899
and by the North Sea Convention in
1882. This, like the preceding, appears to
be not mandatory but only advisory, to
be acted upon by the two powers ac-
cordinS to their pleasure. If the two
