SMALL SHARE OF PROFITS
Wanted by Milk Producers In the Eioht
To a Finish.

west Canaan. N. H., May 5.-'AlI tho
farmers want is small share of the
oro1its,' said local milk producer to-
day in discussing the present Boston
mix situation. "All the producers have
got to do is to stand together and wait
for a few hot days which will put the
New York and Canadian milk out of
business. We are in this time to win. -
The farmers in this section Of the
state, known as the Mascoma valley,
are practically all withholding their
milk from the Boston market and send
ing the cream to the creamery at East
Andover. OF the normal shipment of
several hundred cans to Bos ton previous

ans have been sent daily during the

sending their cream to the creamery
they are getting nearly as much as they
would receive for their entire milk un-

PoWERLEss 70 INTERFERE
In Big Fight Says Governor GiIlett's
Executive Secretary.

Sacramento, Calf. May 5.--In re-
Spouse to scores of letters received at
| the governors Office since the death of
| Tommy Mccarthy. after his fight with
owen Moran in San Francisco last Fri
day night. urging Gov. Gillett to stop
the Jcffries-Johnson fight on July 4. F..
Forest Mitchell, executive secretary to
the Governor, sent out answers TODAY
saying that the Governor was powerless
to interfere.
The statement which officially outlines
the Governors attitude follows:
This Office is in receipt of your let
| ter irclcsing resolutions by the Minis
terial Union relative to suppressing the
Jeffries and Johnson prize fight, or con-
test. July 4, 1910.
Governor Gillett is en- route to WASH
Sacramento for a month Lieut. Gov.
Porter will not be in this Office for q
| week or 10 days.
Replying to your letter in their alb
sehce' permit me to say the Governor
Is rot in favor of prize fights, that he
has never attended one in his life. and
says he never will. However, under the
laws of California, l believe he is help
less to prevent or suppress this social
cd boxing contest. because the law al
lows such contests if the necessary per-
NIT has been granted by the local au-
thoritics In this instance. understand
this permit has been granted.
Il would suggest you file your COM
plant with the district attorney of Ala
manda county: and If this is prize
fight. and not boxing contest. he has
the right to put stop to it. In all
probability, however. the local authori-
ties will be seriously handicapped until
such lime as the law is amended by the
state Legislature so that the distinction
is clearly shown between prize fight
and so-callcd boxing contest.

CATION of the milk business.
In addition to it's endorsement of the
strike, the State Grange, which in
cludes go branches in this state, with
membership of 10000, will endeavor
to obtain support from the Oranges in
New York and Vermont and these
Oranges will be asked to discourage
the shipment of milk from those states
to the assistance of the contractors.
The action of the state Grange was
through its executive committee and the
producers were plainly pleased over what
they claimed was a decisive victory.
The legislative action consisted of the
favorable report of the joint committee
ON rules in endorsing the order for an
investigation by joint special commit.
tee of the production, transportation and
marketing of milk in the state. If the or.
der for the committee is adopted the CON-
mittee will have until May "a to report
it's findings and recommendations
The contractors reported plenty of milk
in the city today but the Producers AS.

was brought from great distances and
was of inferior quality.

ers were not sufficiently specific to war.

TWO DAMS in COURT.
Rival Claimants to Russell Estate
Glare at One Another.

Cambridge, Mass, May 5.-Thc two
claimants for half the property of the
late Daniel Russell of Melrose, glared
at one another in the Middlesex county
supreme court today. while counsel for
the estate tried to have an early day
fixed for the trial of the appeal from
the late probate court case.
As the court broke up. the Dickin-
son. n. D.. man stationed himself at
the door and closely scrutinized the
face of his rival. the Fresno, Cal, fruit
picker, as the latter left the room. The
Fresno man returned the stare. but
nothing was said by either.
Judge Sheldon of the supreme court
denied the motion for a speedy trial,
and the appeal of the Dickinson. N. D..
claimant from the adverse decision of
Judge Lawton in the probate court will
probably go over until the fall.
Another incident of the hearing was
the fact that F. c. Almy. the executor
of the will. and William c. Russell, the
son, who has remained at home since
the disappearance of his brother, COM
pletely ignored the presence or Doth
claimants, and kept by themselves in
an obscure corner of the room

Both Choynski and
Papke Like Babies
With Jim Jeffries,

Ben Lomond, Cal, May 5.-Joe Cyoyn-
ski had his first tryout with J. J. Jeffries
today and at the close of the three-round
bout he said that while he was In excel
lent shape himself, he was mere baby
in Jeffries' hands.
Jenries gave Choynski, who assumed
charge Of the boxing end of the training
camp, every chance to make good show
ing in the opening exercises, and while
Joe displayed much of his old-time clev-
erness, Jeffries was much the faster and
showed great progress. Only a handful
Of Jeffries' trainers and four newspaper
men witnessed the bout this afternoon.
No visitors were permitted in the en-
closure, for both Choynski and Papke
were to be taken for the first time. JEFF
fries has always been afraid Of the pry-
ing eyes of strangers on such occasions.

possible. In the second round. he gave
Papke g rather stiff right over the eve.

said:
II wish I had boxed with Jeffries all
the tirle. Not once did lie dit me hard
intentionally. and can learn a lot from
him. I am pretty strong myself, but l
WAS a mere baby in his hands"
Then came the bout with Choynski
The two faced each other for the first
tire since the 20-round draw in San
Francisco in 1907. Like Papke, Choyn-
ski looked like a pfgmy alongside the
former champian. ChoyHski evidently
is In better shape than any of the other
boxers in Jeffrics' camp. He displayed
much of his DID time agility and prowess
and came out OF the contest without dis
tress. They went at it with u will, JEFF
fries favori.lg rhoynski throughout. He
was even more gentle with him than
with Papke.
Choynski declared that after few
more days of sparring he would show to
much better advantage. In his work
with Choynski Jeffries delighted his
trainers by displaying a lot of the old
time ginger. He romped around the
ring like a boy who loved the game. At
ter the boxing, he went through a cou-
pie Of handball games at top speed and
INDUCED in rope skipping. bag punching
and shadow boxing. Papke will leave
for training quarters near San Francisco

pleted his training for Joe Thomas here,

his being nearer the scene of his COM
