NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE sud-
den action of the authorities in
preventing the Kaufman-Lang fight
last night is regarded here as an
other body blow to the fight game
I'm America. Acting Mayor Mitchell
holds hat the contest was not to
be a boxing exhibition but a prize
fight, and he said he could not I'M
derstand why $4,000 worth of tick
cts had been sold If the affair was
merely a sparring exhibition be-
fore an athletic club.
Mitchell announced today that
there would be no more fights held
in New York while he is acting
mayor. 1t Is expected that Mayor
Gaynor will take the same stand

cerning lands in Arkansas, and the
convention is called for the purpose
of organizing central bure2u which
will attend to the advertising of every
section of the state and bringing peo-
pie to Arkansas.

people are land hungry; that they are
leaving the cities and searching for
homes in the rural sections, where
they can make their living out of the
soil and thus escape the high cost of
living in the cities At the present
time the tide of immigration is torn
ing westward, where lands must be
irrigated to become productive. This
is because those sections are so freely

GOV. DONAGHEY THE
BARRIER TO FIGHT
HOT SPRINGS PEOPLE WANT
ES-JOHNSON GO
BUT.

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-It has just
become known that an effort was con
templated by Hot Springs sporting
men to land the Jeffries-J ohnson fight
for that city, and Governor Donaghey
was the barrier which prevented a bid
being put in for the big scrap. A
prominent attorney for Little Rock
yesterday stated he had been APP
preached by several prominent sport
ing men of Hot Springs, who rendered
him fee to make an effort to get per-
mission to have the fight pulled off in
Hot Springs. The attorney says he
declined the fee and did not make the
effort because he knew Governor Don
aghey's attitude on sparing contests
and the stand he had already taken
which had prevented the minor ring
contests which clubs had undertaken
to pull off in the state. The attorney
says the man who approached him
would have bid as high as any one if
assured they could hold the fight in
the state, for they are men who are
in position to do so, and to make good
any offer they made.
