FRANK SERGEANT ARRESTED
FOR KIDNAPPING DAUGHTER

Frank Sergeant, who was arrested
on the charge of kidnapping his
eight-year-old daughter, Marie Ser
geant, from the custody of her
brother, L. Sergeant, proprietor Of
the Florence Hotel, was arraigned
yesterday afternoon before Judge
Webster and pleaded not guilty to
the charge. His preliminary exami-
nation was set for 2 o'clock this af-
ternoon, but he indicated to the
court that he desired to consult a
lawyer with relation to the charge,
and that he desired more time, and
a postponement will probably be
made until tomorrow morning.
According to the story related to
the officials, Sergebnt and his wife
had trouble in Idaho, and the result
was decree of divorce in favor of
the wife, and which decree awarded
her the custody of the children. Re-
Gently, it seems, that they have been
with the brother, and the other day
Sergeant is alleged to have gone to
the Florence Hotel and coerced the
younger daughter in going with him.
An elder sister, Ethel, aged 1s
years, did not desire to see her sis
ter accompany him alone, and went
with them and they came down
town. Upon their arrival in the city
Sergeant went to the sheriffs Office
and desired Sheriff Mimic to take the
girls into custody, but the sheriff in
dicated that he needed to be taken
into custody himself, and after or
.dering him from the room secured
the story from the girls.
The son subsequently had war
rant sworn out for the father and he
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Esch.

NO MORE FIGHTS
AT LOS ANGELES

San Diego Cal, June 16.-The city
council today, by vote of 4 to L,
adopted a resolution refusing to is
sue any more permits for boxing con-
tests in this city. The resolution was
presented by John L. Sehon, superin-
tendent of the police department and
read:
81 herewith enclose the application
of William Mcmahon, as manager of
the Dreamland pavilion, for license
for a boxing match ON June II next.
"In view of the attitude and action
taken by Governor Gillett concerning
the proposed contest July next, in
San Francisco, between James J..
Jeffries and Jack Johnson, 1 recon-
mend that this petition be denied,
and that in the future no permits for
boxing contests be granted"

JEFFRIES
VERY MUCH
DISGUSTED
ALL THE FIGHT FANS UP IN THE
AIR AND SORE AT GILLETTE
BIG FIGHT WILL NOT BE
STOPPED, BUT WILL TAKE
PLACE IN RENO.

Rowardennan Training Camp, June
16.-James J. Jeffries is a very much
disgusted man. Yesterday he was in
the best of spirits. When the United
Press first informed him of the ac-
tion of Governor Gillett in taking
steps to stop the fight, his spirits
dropped like a plummet. What the
big fellow will do is problematical.
Today his old Crouch has re-
turned; the Crouch" out of which
he had been humored after weeks Of
hard work by his trainers. The
grizzly" may decide to lay on until
after the final decision as to the
place where the fight will be held is
reached.
His advisors oppose the rest the
big fellow seems inclined to take,
and will advise him to continue with
his training. certain that the fight
will take place, either in San Fran
cisco or some other place, on July 4.
Before the bad news came Jeffries
put in one of the best days he has
since the training season started.
After 1t was known that the governor
had stepped in Jeff lost all inclina-
tion to continue training. Going to
his quarters he called off the after
moons program and took a long nap.
The camp in general is disconsolate
today. Not even late news from San
Francisco, that the promoters were
fighting inch by. inch to pull off the
fight in San Francisco has lifted the
gloom.
The general opinion seems to be
that it is futile to fight the state au-
thorities and the fighters have both
received a knockout, so far as hold
ing the fight in California goes. The
feeling here is that the fight will go
to Reno. A couple Of months ago,
Tex Rickard, anticipating drastic ac-
tion on the part of the state authori-
ties, got permit there. He can hold
finish fight under the permit, and
1t is known that he has made some
arrangements looking to erecting an
arena, in case such action became
necessary
If the fight goes to Reno, It is be-
lieved here it will mean heavy loss
to the promoters in the matter Of
gate receipts. 1t is estimated that
the receipts would dwindle nearly
two-thiPds.
Hopeful ones refuse to believe that
the fight will be taken away from
California. They point out that prac-
tically every merchant wants the
fight, and they declare there is big
sentiment all over the state asking
for the fight to be held in San Fran
cisco
This influence it is believed, will
have decided bearing on the mat
ter.

CHING SING
YIELDED TO
Her WILES
HIS HEART WAS TOUCHED BY
HER DUSKY EYES AND HIS
POCKET by HER NINIBLE FIN
GERS-THE LATTER FACT is
WHAT HURTS WORST.


Because he listened to the much
fair speech and permitted himself to
bask in the sunshine of the mercen-
airy affections of a chocolate colored
lady who descended upon the city's
Chinatown last night, Ching Sing, an
Oriental after he succeeded in
arousing himself from the spell she
had thrown over him, found that
there was missing from his pockets
just $3.50; and because of her in
diligence in the light fingered arts
upon the person of the Oriental, the
chocolate colored lady, together
with her dusky pander, this morn
ing found themselves looking out
upon the world through the bars of
the city jail with a charge of lar-
ceny from the person lodged against
the lady" on the judges docket.
Ching Sing Became infatuated.
Ethel Johnson, for that is the col
ored lady's name, and G. H. Black,
the name of her paramour, arrived
in the city yesterday morning from
the City of Roses. After parading
through the city and taking a gen.
eral inventory of it they evidently
decided that Chinatown afforded the
best opportunities for their opera
tions, and last night after dark the
lady descended upon it, and eventu-
ally found herself in the abode of
Ching Sing. Now Ching Sing being
good Chinaman-being "evley-
body's fend"-and having no reason
to believe that her show of affec-
tions was prompted by sinister mo-
tives, not only accepted them, but
ardently returned them, and the col
ored lady in return accepted, and in
cidentally extracted from Sing,
$3.50, which represented a good
portion of his hard earned savings
Whether prior to lavishing her af-
fections upon Sing she had also
sought to lavish them upon others of
his race is neither affirmed nor de-
MED but Sing upon his oath does af-
firm that she extracted from his per-
son the above sum of money, and
also says that she was very affection
ate.
Captured at the Depot.
When the news spread through
Chinatown that Sing had been
robbed, there was general tumult
and commotion and the officers were
asked to apprehend his dusky affin-
ity. A search of the couples room
in the Savoy Hotel disclosed that
they had departed from it but a
search of the Southern Pacific depot
was rewarded with better success.
The chocolate lady was found stand
