The promoters already have more
than $40. 600 tied up in the venture. This
includes the arena. the money paid to
Jim Griffin for his permit, the license

rs NEWS FROM BERGER


His manager. Sam Berger. is in the
city and Jeff says Berger will find out
just what is doing and notify him
Jeff at first positively refused to
believe the report. He said he didn' I
care what anybody said, he didn't be-
lieve the governor intended TO stop
the fight. He later gave the following
statement to the press:
Il don't know the first thing about
the law. As I understand it we are
not breaking the law. but are under
the protection of the law. Until I
hear officially from the promoters that
the fight is to be stopped l will not
credit the story"
When asked whether ne would fight
in any other state if GiIlett inter
fered, Jeff wouldn't say anything.
Il intend to wait until 1 hear from
the promoters before 1 have anything
further to say"
WILL FIGHT ANYWHERE
Later in the evening. however. when
he returned from his fishing trip, Jeff
said:
I don't care where the battle is
held, I am going to stick by Rickard
and Gleason. and no matter where they
stage the fight III be there. It is a
boxing contest and not a prize fight
and 1 can't see how it is against the
law"
A busy afternoon was mapped out
for the big fellow. but the bad news
put halt to it. While he kept him
self out of the limeHght the report
had a bad effect on him. He did no
work and the word that there would
be nothing doing came out immedi-
ately after the news reached camp.
Jeff was to have boxed COrbett dur
ing the afternoon, but the excuse for
not carrying out the program was
that the paint on the canvas ring had
not dried.
Jeff picked up his pole. deserted the
camp and went on a fishing excursion.
In fact, 1T was a day of ease for the
former champion. as he practically did
nothing. He laid off during the morn
ing. expecting to spend busy after
noon. He took sun bath today.
Roger Cornell massaged him as the
sun beat down on his massive frame.
Roger did not use any oils, but gave
him dry rub.
TOO BAD, SAYS CORBETT
Jim Corbett seemed to be affected by
the news. but he didn't believe the
states executive would take such
drastic action if he could be convinced
that the coming contest was within
the law.
TT seems to me- said Corbett. that
talked with a number of state off,
cials and lawyers, and they maintain
the bout comes within the protection
of the law. However 1 am not a law
yer and could not argue the merits of
Governor Gillett's contention. 1t is
too bad for everybody concerned. jeff
has worked faithfully to satisfy the
demands of the public to win the
championship back to the white race.
and he has denied himself the comforts
of life to get in condition. He has
rounded to shape and he certainly will
defeat Johnson if he is given the
chance. The promoters have gone to
a great expense only to learn on the
eve of the battle that the fight can not
be held, if the report be true"
The general opinion here seems to
be that the governor should have
taken a stand against the fight when
it was first announced that it would
be held in San Francisco. The pro-
moters are in so far that they declare
it is very dtscouraging to Rickard and

UNCLE JOE CANNON
HE ALSO SPEAKS WELL OF CAM
ADA.


No matter what may be the opinion
of Mr. Joseph Cannon, no matter if
he may be looked upon by some as
a car, and by others as big warm
hearted man, with many of the in
Etincts that make humanity very bear
able, all will admit that he is a man
who has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States.
What he may have to say therefore
on any subject, will have weight. OBJ
servant, he speaks his mind freely.
He was interviewed the other day by
the correspondent OF Canadian
newspaper. He spoke of his admiration
for Canada, and he is quoted in a way
that pictures fairly well the personal
Of the man. The correspondent says
he launched out into personal BIZ
ography, proverbial philosophy, politi-
cal comment, cynical scorn, broGd pro-
family and sentimental poetry such as
one rarely hears in the space of an
hour. He discussed the Canadian ia
riff, and then said: people say I
break the Ten Commandments, all of
I did break one of them up in Canada
two or three years ago. As l rode
from Winnipeg to the Rockies over
your great West and saw the finest
wheatfelds in the world, thought Of
Virginia and a lot of our States, and
I smashed the Tenth Commandment
every hour of the journey. Yes, sir,
I coveted my neighbours land" Com
ing from a man Of the fame of Mr.
Cannon, these were words that should
have some weight with the Americans
who may still have doubts Of the ad-
vantages that are offered to them in
Western Canada. A home amongst
the Wheatfelds. Hundreds Of thou.
sands of Americans are adopting it.
They go to Central Canada, to any
one of the three Provinces of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, or to
the Coast Province of British Column
bia, take up their homestead Of 100
acres, and probably pre-empt another
160 acres, or it may be they do not
care for pioneering twenty or thirty
miles from an existing railway, and
purchase farm. Then they settle
upon it and, having no clearing away
of timber they begin at once to cul-
tivate it, and make money. That they
make money and much more than
they could possibly make on the high
priced farms they have left, is the
evidence of hundreds of thousands.
They do not leave civilized life, they
but remove from one sphere to an
other. They have splendid social con-
ditions, churches, schools, rural tele-
phones, splendid roads, railways, con-
venient just the same as what they
left, and what is more, they get much
greater returns from their crops,
which give abundant yield. The eli
mate is perfect, and it is no wonder
that most flattering reports are sent
back to their friends in the States,
and it is no wonder that Joe Cannon
was tempted to speak as he did. He
coveted" his neighbor's land.
