PROHIBITION Is
ISSUE IN TEXAS

San Antonio, Tex. June 16.-tSpecial)-
That either an out -and-out prohibitionist
or radical -prohibitionist will be
governor of Texas for the next term
seems pow assured The former Is Cone
Johnson and the latter o. B. Colauitt.
Their strength, according to present In
d:cations. lies in the unequivocal stand
they have taken on the issues giving them
their respective platforms.
Mr. Johnson is a prohlbitionist who
favors prohibition by any method. statu-
tory or constitutional amendment and
Mr.. Coquitt favors neither prohibition
nor the submission of the question 70
the voters. With each day the men
who have heretofore favored compromise
and Cancellation are beginning to realize
that the issue of prohibition must be
faced squarely with view of settling
1t definitely.
The result will be hard-fought strug-
gle between the extreme pros and antis
Both factions fear that a splitting OF
votes for the less radical candidates from
each side, Davidson and Poindexter, will
give their opponents an advantage This
Is especially true of the prohibtionists.
TheiH main stronghold, North Texas,
would make a poor showing against the
ants OF the south and southwest should
the voters along the Red river split be-
tween Poindexter and Johnson.
On the other hand, the ants of the
state are not quite in the same fix The
voters who would principally support Da-
wilson are the more lenient prohibition

platform favors submission. The question
of submission duly considered, the pro-

is Incomplete In one essential detail: no.
body knows where 1t is to be fought.
That it will not be held in San Fran
cisco or elsewhere in California is gener-
ally admitted, conclusion in which sport
Ing circles grudgingly concur. Tex Rick
ard, promoter of the bout, is so certain
of this that he has declared his intention
of suing Governor Gillett and Attorney
General Webb for alleged damages sus-
tanned because of intervention by state
authorities.
While no legal steps have been taken as
vet against any of those concerned, Pro-
moter Blot of the Langford-Kaufman
fight. slated for Saturday next, is In no
better shape. He has the published assur-
ances of the attorney general that that
official will file application for an in
junction against the match tomorrow
Blot declares he cannot see how his 20
round go can be prevented. and says he
will hold 1t as scheduled, but his voice
lacked conviction when he said 1t.
AS to the big fight Attorney General
Webb said today he would not bother
with an application for a temporary re-
-straining order, but would ask for per-
manent injunction He expects to have
his application on file within a few days.
Richard does not intend to contest. He
said today he would Immediately trans
fer the match to some other state If the
court ruled against him. He does not
look with favor on legal battle.
Governor Gillett whose letter yester-
day to the attorney general created the
greatest stir sporting circles have known
since Corbett defeated John l.. Sullivan,
arrived from Sacramento today. He was
positive in defining his position. The fight
could be stopped and will be stopped he
declared He seemed Indifferent TO the
opposition aroused and said so.

congressman Discuss Fight

Washington, June ia diversity OF
views characterized the gossip in the
House today over the effect of the JEFF
fries-Johnson fight agitation in California
on legislation for exposition recognition
Mr.. Bennett of New York, who sent a
telegram to California in protest against
the fight, figured in the cancellation OF
the event. MIR. Miller of Kansas was one
of the men aligned with him. Il would
not vote for state or county man that
encourages prize fighting" said Mr.. Mil
ler II think that state should observe
the wishes of it's people"
California members did not believe in
mixing the two matters. Mr.. Hayes could
see no connection between the fight and
the detection of the exposition site. Mr.
Kahn opposed confounding the two events
as did Mr.. McKinlay, Mr.. McLachlin and
others of the state. 1.-The prize fight will
not affect the exposition said Mr.. Gold
fogle of New York II would not deny
the privileges to any one" said M.
Gaines of West Virginia, who would
want to witness the fight or the exposi-
ton: don't suppose l will see either

of Tennessee, but / would not vote

holders of the trophy were apprised of the
fact that for the third successive year an
American team would strive to wrest the
coveted trophy Of the lawn tennis courts

The eleventh year Of the famous cups
history promises TO find tho Americans
making a more determined effort TO win
the trophy than ever before. While Dr.
James Dwight, of Boston, president of the
association; Robert II. Wronn, of New
York, and William J. Clothier, of Phila-
delphia, are TO serve on the committee in

will be auxiliary members, including per-
haps. Frederick @. Anderson, of Reading.
Penn: William A. I.arned. the national
champion, and Frederick B. Alexander of
the cup team of 1905.
The experience gained by two years of
JourneEing and playing in Australia will
materially aid this nation. Yet at this
time complications appear 10 have arisen.
