PLACE OF
BATTLE is
AGREED ON
JEFFRIES AND JOHNSON WILL
SETTLE THEIR DISPUTE AS TO
WHICH Is THE BETTER MAN,
AT EMERYVLLE.

Oakland, Calf, March 15.-The
preliminary legal requirements to
permit the Jeffries-Johnson fight at
Emeryville are cleared away today
following the action of the town
trustees of Emeryville last night in
fixing the license for the big go at
$4,000.
This means that there will be no
opposition on the part of the city
trustees, and as Emeryville is an in
corporated city, the trustees have Z
right to permit fight to take place
within the city limits.
AS the fight must be held under
the auspices of an Incorporated
club, it is probable that Tex Rickard
and Gleason, the promoters, will
take immediate steps to incorporate.
The license money can then be paid
and the permit for the scrap secured
from the city.
FOLLOW ... ... -.
The ordinance fixing the license
was referred to the ordinance COM
mittee of the board, and will come
before the trustees for final passage
Monday evening. There is no doubt
but that it will pass.

fairly swamped by the food of criti-
cism since he declared for different
standards of morality for men and
women, Presiding Sir John Bingham.
OF the divorce division of the Eng
lish courts, adheres to his original
opinion, that what is only a little
wrong for a man may be very wrong
for a woman. He has explained, how
ever why he holds this view. In
voicing II at a session of the royal
commission in divorce law reform, he
simply gave it as ETs opinion with
out any accompanying explanation
whatever
Misconduct by man." he says in
a modifying statement he has just is-s
Isueh, has not anything ike the
same significance as misconduct by a
woman. On the part of a man it
may be more or less accidental, and
not inconsistent with continued love
and esteem of his wife. But miscOn-
duct by woman is inconsistent with
love and esteem of her husband"
In spite of this explanation. dozens
of women, scores OF religious and
ethical societies and thousands of in
dividuals are out with resolutions, in
terviews and articles denouncing his
original attitude, and several have
already supplemented them with dec
larations, in various forms, to the ef-
feet that the explanation explains
nothlng.
Even lawyers, of whom Sir John is
one, do not generally agree with him.
Some, indeed, have conceded that
they. believe what he says is, as a
matter of fact, true, but almost with
out exception, they deprecate the
recognition by law of double stand
ard. Sir Johns own colleagues on
the divorce bench, Justice Bargrave
Dean, thinks the former ali wrong ia
his attitude.
Il do not see how misconduct is
more immoral on one side than on
the other he said, in commenting on
Sir Johns expression, but do think
great many men are immoral be-
cause they know that, under English
law, their wives cannot divorce them
for it. think that II it were known
man could be divorced for immor-
ality 1t would be strong deterrent" :"

Different in San Diego.

San Diego, Calf, March Is
When the sailors of the Pacific fleet
return TO San Diego the latter part
of this month, they win find the
bright lights and gay music of the
temperance saloons in San Diego's
"stingaree" closed and the streets In
that section of the town deserted.
Last night at midnight, the open
resorts and dance halls in the red
light district were closed for the
first time in years and many of the
denizens have sought other quarters.
Many left on the owl train for
Los Angeles, Bakersfield and San
Francisco, fearing prosecution by
the city authorities.
An ordinance recently passed by
the city council made it unlawful for
women to frequent the so-called
Temperance" saloons and dance
halls, although no restriction was
placed on the rooming-houses in the
red light district.
Just what action will be taken in
regard to the inhabitants of these
has not been learned.
Seattle Also Wide Open.
Seattle, Wash, March 15.-Faces
once familiar in Seattle, but missing
for many moons, are again showing
themselves on the streets today
They are smiling faces, too, for Mayor
Hiram C. Gill and the new admins
ration take Office Saturday. The
most important plank in Gills' plat
form was for a restricted district,
and he is a man of his word.
The word seems to have gone out
- %
in" from the underworld standpoint.
Criminals have taken this to include
themselves, though with the appoint
ment of Charles Wappenstein as CHIEF
of police by Gill, this element is ex-
pected to receive short shrift
Seattle will undoubtedly be a city
of more bright lights than ever be-
fore, but Wappenstein made a good
record in Office once before, and he
never was a favorite of the under
world.

SECRETARY OF CONGRESS
APPEARS FOR FIRST TIME
Officer Attends Meeting After
Suffering Illness of Week

James r. Callbreath, jr., secretary of
the At8erican Mining congress, who
has been largely instrumental in maxi
ing that body success, appeared be-
fore the convention last night for the
first time since it convened last Mon
day.
Mr. Callbreath had been Ill at his
temporary home in Los Angeles since
arriving in the city about a week ago,
suffering from an affection of the
eyes. He appeared at the meeting last
night almost blinded and suffering
pain, although doctors say he will fully
recover his eyesight eventually. Mr..
Callbreath has worked most diligently
for many years for the congress, and
it is due chiefly to his diplomacy that
the bureau of mines bill was finally
passed at Washington.
A deservedly high tribute to Mr.. Call
breaths ability was paid by Frank G.
Tyrrell in an address entitled, "The
Problem of Increasing Our Member

position to the conservation policy of

TAFT IS AGAINST TOO
COMFORTABLE PRISONS
Cautions Delegates Against Max
ing Penitentiaries Attract
i've to Criminals

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-In receiv-
ing the delegates to the International
Prison congress in the east room of the
White House President Taft cautioned
them against making prisons so COM
Portable as to furnish a motive for vio-
lating the law, and also warned against
associating prisoners who were mere
offenders with hardened lawbreakers.
The president said that sometimes
when he had visited the prisons Of this
government he had thought they were
stronger in theory than in practice. He
expressed the hope, however, that this
government now had prisons that illus
trated at least some of the improve
ments that the prison congress recon-
mended.
He said Attorney General Wicker
sham, who had given some attention to
the matter, would attend the congress
to receive suggestions.
The opening session of the American
Prison association was held tonight, at
which Amos Butler of Indianapolis,
president of the organization, delivered
his annual address, taking as his sub
ject "Convicts and Conservation"
The American association will close
it's convention Saturday, and the open
ing session of the International Prison
congress will be held Saturday after
noon.

utes, during which time he was inter-
rupted time after time by cheers and

nant policy of driving the Southern
Pacific out of state politics.

upper end of the San Joaquin valley
today in his machine, and made two
speeches before reaching Modesto.
The first was at Crows Landing. There
he was met by delegation of three
