SHERIFF WILL DO AS

OAKLAND. April 30.-District Attor-
ney Donahue and Sheriff Barnet. when
seen this morning with reference to
their attitude toward the Jeffries-.John-
son championship fight in view of the
death Of Tommy Mccarthy, were non
comnittant each Of them saying that
he would be governed by the state
ia " regulating glove contests.
don't think McCarthy's death will
nave any material effect on the JEFF
fr1es-JohnsOn fight so fas as my Office
is concerned said Sheriff Barnet. The
state law seems to be explicit in re-
garding to the holding of so called
glove contests and prize fights. and
my Office must be regulated by this
law as il is Interpreted TO me by the
proper authorities.

TOUGH ON OLD MAN
MCCARTHY" SAYS JEFF

BEN LOMOND. April 30.-When told
Of Tommy McCarthy's death following
a knockout blow at the hands of Owen
Moran, Jim Jeffries said:
Gee, that's pretty tough on old man
Mccarthy They tell me he idolized
the kid and it will surely break the
old fellow all up
''As to just how little Mccarthy met
his death 1 don't know any of the cir
cumstsnces just now. 1 presume it
was just one of those unfortunate acci-
dents that could not be avoided A
thing like that is likely to occur in
most any line of sport-automobiling
hunting. fishing, or even in milder pas
times Nevertheless, it's mighty tough
for a family to lose lad of McCarthy's
age"
Jeffries would not discuss the prob
able effect OF the incident on the fight
for which he is training.

The California delegation will be
vances in the subscription list and as
there yet remains week before the
conference will be held with President
Taft every effort will be made to have
the fund at least s5.oOo.000 by that
time. If this can be done there is lit
tie doubt that the exposition will Sc
cure the needed federal appropriation.
Will Visit Chief Cities
On the return trip the delegation
will stop at many of the principal cities
of the United States. and at each will
argue for the exposition in San Fran
cisco, the greatest argument being that
San Francisco has both men and money
to make it successful. -
The spirit with whisi subscriptions
are being sent in was shown by the
statement of the Life underwriters as
sociation of San Francisco, which
pledged s25,000. Secretary Seth B.
Thompson wrote as follows:
1 am instructed to make known
to you the Willingness of this as
sociation and its members TO take
an active part in such work as you
and your committee may assign
to us, and to assure you of our
hearty cooperation and active eff
fort in all matters for the welfare
of your undertaking. AS there
are over 1000 men employed in our
work in this state upon such activ-
tiles as bring them daily in con-
tact with the better class of peo-
pie, we feel that we can accomplish
much of value to the undertaking
and we assure you that we well
take a special pride in doing so.
That interest in the exposition is not
confined to San Francisco was evidenced
by the subscription of Samuel P. Ca1ef
of Santa Barbara. His telegram was
brief, reading:
Put me down for $4,000 for expo
sition for San Francisco"
The enthusiasm outside of the city
was explained by F. j. Zeehandelaar Of
Los Angeles. secretary of the mer-
chants and manufacturing association,
when he said:
Last Thursdays meeting with its
record of s4,OS9, 900 in two and half
hours has had a great influence
upon southern California, and pub
lie sentiment is strongly in favor
of San Francisco as the location of
the Panama Pacific exposition. All
the world admires the courage and :.

building of this city, and this with
the example of the true California
spirit shown Thursday should help
