 San Francisco May 19.-If the board If supervisors of San Francisco coun- fy adopt the recommendation of it's police committee and make the fight permit to be granted Jim Griffin for the July fight good for 45 instead of 20 rounds, the Jeff-Johnson fight will be at once transferred to this city. The board meets on Monday next The report of the police committee will be unanimous and as "a majority of the board members are believed to favor the extension, 1t ie likely that by the middle of the week the question of location will again be definitely settled although Rickard will still retain his string to Nevada in case of need.
 There is a strong feeling in favor of the fight in this city. Merchants generally realize that there is 10 way in which 50 many spectators could be attracted to this city than by this means and as the men who will come are the kind that are known as "spenders" the result is pressure from business interests being. brought to bear on the city officials to make mat ters easy for the promoters as 1t is realized much further muddling of the location is likely to interfere with the drawing power of the attraction.
 Jack Gleason, Richards partner, and Jim Griffin held an extended confer ence today at which they discussed the transfer of the permit. Griffin said he would gladly do 50 and were arranged although they were not made public.
 The attitude of Governor Gillette in declaring that the promoters are we'll within the law in their arrangements and his statement that under no cir cumstances will he interfere. coupled with the feeling of the San Francisco officials leaves but little chance for the bout to be interferred with.

Washington, April 22.-The navy de-

the ships make their annual visit to

the last occasion on which the fleet as

In July, 1911, by the addition of the
Florida and the Utah, and the compile
ton of repairs upon other ships, the
Atlantic fleet will be increased to 81

serve fleet will be organized with the
Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts and

Excepting six or seven gunbOats,

work the vessels of little OF no mill

Likes Cook Personally.

At the same time Professor Parker
spoke in a most kindly way of DR.
Cook, saying that he was a pleasant
companion, brave and persevering.
Professor Parker took pains to mark
out in ink for me the route traverSed
by Cook in his first expedition in 1903.
He was not with Cook at that time,
but knew Of his work both from DR..
Cook himself and others. The expedi-
ton passed entirely around Mount
Mckinley, crossing the gigantic Alas
kan range twice. Any one who knows
aught of the character of the country
can appreciate the difficulty Of the
task. THAT exploit alone was enough
to establish DR.. Cooks position as an
explorer" said Professor Parker.
He then went on to explain what he
believed to be the real motive behind
Cooks attempt to deceive the world.
Since Parker Jointly with Cook was
the head of the 1906 expedition he per-
haps knows more about it than any
other man except Cook himself. 'In
my opinion it was lack of money that
made Dr. Cook send out the story that
he had climbed Mount Mckinley" he
said. HE had incurred many liabili-
ties in making the trip and was finan-
cially at the end of his rope. If he
