California Executive Declares Contest
Scheduled For July 4 Is Prize
Fight, and Under the Law Must BE
Stopped.
Governor Gillette. Of California. gave
orders to Attorney General U. $. Webb
10 stop the heavyweight championship
fight between James J. Jeffries and
Jack Johnson. scheduled to take place
here on July 4.
The attorney general said he would
take the necessary steps at once. Gov
ernor Gillette In answer to a query
said:
Il have instructed Attorney General
Webb TO stop the Jeffries-Johnson
fight. and shall expect him to do So"
The announcement was made by At
torney General Webb In confirming a
report current for several days that
Governor Gillette would not permit the
battle TO take place. The attorney gen.
eral said he would carry out the gov
ernors order not to allow the men to
meet.
Tex Richard declared that II the
governor was successful In stopping
the fight he would take II TO Reno,
New.
The laws of California permit box
ing contests of limited number of
rounds. but prize fighting is a felony.
Governor Gillette's action in ordering
the battle stopped is taken in accord
ance with this provision The governor
says the contest Is not a boxing match.
but a prize fight. and as such II would
be a violation of the statutes.
What effect his action will have on
the Langford- Kaufman fight Saturday
is not yet known. but It is regarded as
probable that this will be called off.
Jeffries was sore when he first heard
of the accusation Of taking. and 1t Is
regarded as almost certain that he Will
refues to go any further. A report said
that the promoters would appeal TO
the courts for a writ of injunction to
prevent any interference.
The first news of Governor Gillettes
action came In letter to church peo-
pie at Sacramento. Cal. Governor Gil
lette said that the letter was written
by him and is correct In all details.
The governor said he was determined
TO prevent the fight taking place In
California at all hazards
The governor. In this letter. said
that as District Attorney Rickert. of
San Francisco. would not interfere.
the attorney general must. He said the
contest without doubt was prize
fight. and under the law should be
stopped. He declared that he had di.
rected the attorney general to seek an
Injunction preventing the fight. and
that II they refused TO grant such an
order. the attorney general is to act
against the fighters and promoters I'M
der section 412. which declares prize
fighting felony. The governor prom
Uses the attorney general the cooper
alton OF his office.
The real reason for the governors
action was telegraphic warning he
received from Congressman Bennett.
OF the house foreign affairs commit
tee. Emmett wired that unless the
governor stopped the fight San Fran
cisco needn't hope to secure the Pan
anna fair.
This ultlmatum made Governor Gil
lette take quick action. especially as
II was seconded by dispatches from
California congressman and senators.

the reports show few delinquincies
On the Okanogan and Sunnyside pro-
jects in Washington, the Shoshone in
Wyoming and the Huntley and Sun
River in Montana, it is predicted that
every farmer will meet his obliga-
tions.
The payment of their Indebtedness
by these farmers will probably be the
most important single event in the
history of national irrigation. There
never has been any doubt as to the
competency of the engineers to con-
struct the projects. but doubt has
been expressed as to whether the gov
i, ernment could get its money back.
The dollars of the successful farm
ers in the districts will be the answer
and the vindication of the reclama-
tion law.
There have been failures as ii was
inevitable there should be, but the
absolute failures and the abandon
ments have been surprisingly few. In
numerous instances those who under
estimated the task or came without
experience or sufficient funds were
able to retire without serious loss. In
numerous other instances many re-
tired with some gain. but the greatest
HuInDeT Oh IalluTeS was IOunu among
those who took up the projects never
intending to use them themselves,
but to speculate for profits on bona
| fide home makers who came later.
Where the reclamation service
finds that a failure has been due to
conditions not under control of the
settler, it is possible that some way
may be found to protect his rights,
but where the evidence Is that the
settler has made no effort to protect
himself, he need expect no aid from
the government The farmers who
came to farm, however are making
good.
The crops produced on the irrigat-
ed lands operated by the water sys-
| TENS of the government in 1909 had
an estimated value of 100000
and the land values increased not less
than S1O5, 100000 as the result of
the construction of the federal irri-
cation works. The reclamation fund
has had more than S60,000,000 un-
der the act and more than $4, $780,
900 are still in the treasury of the
United States but not available.
The great question has been, will
the money come back? Indications
are that it will.

DEMURRER

This morning at the opening of the
adjourned session of the Mesa county
district court arguments were made
on the demurrer made to the COM
plaint filed by Il. NJ. Slocomb and
others against the Grand junction
and Grand River Valley Hallway COM
pany, Henry X. Rhone and other in
dividuals and the Grand Valley irri-
CATION district.
The complaint upon which a tenn
porary injunction was secured sew
eral weeks ago, set up that the de-
PENDANTS had without the consent of
T.. NJ. Slocomb and other property
owners, proceeded to enlarge an irri-
CATION ditch located near Fifteenth
street and running through what is
known as Slocomb's Addition. to be
used in carrying the water usually
carried in the ditch on Twelfth street,
that had been filled up.
The defendants filed "a demurrer
and on this demurrer the arguments
were made today.
Judge Shackleford, after hearing
the arguments, overruled the demur-
rer and gave the defendants three
days i'm which to file an answer.
II is hoped to have the answer
filed and the matter ready to take up
again ON Wednesday.
The litigation has aroused much
interest.

Pomona school house. AS only the
"pro-consolidation" people recognize
the legality of the district it is more
than likely that only those favorable
to consolidation will vote in this elec-
ton, those fighting the new district
by not voting will express their de-
termination to refuse the legality of
the district.
On the other hand the "antis' in
the Pomona district, who refuse to
recognize the consolidated organiza-
ton and who contend that the old
district organization is still legal, are
holding a Pomona district election
for the purpose of filling a vacancy
on the board. Fred Simpson is the
only announced candidate for the
office, that of secretary of school
district No. 80 (old Pomona districD
AS the pro-consolidation people re-
fuse to realize the legality of this
election and declare that the old Po-
mona board is no longer in legal ex-
istence, they will not vote in this
election, consequently only the
'antis" will vote for Simpson.
Thus, as only the pros" in Po-
mona will vote in the consolidated
election and as only the "antis" in
Pomona will vote in the Pomona dis
trict election, the relative strength
will probably be brought out in the
Pomona district which was so close
in the first election, while the Lo-
back and Columbine districts were
largely in favor of consolidation.
A heavy vote is being polled and
as both elections are being conducted
in the Pomona school house, one in
one room and one in another pret-
ty lively time is being had.
The final settlement of this school
trouble, which has caused much bit
ter feeling to develop and which is
most regrettable, is anXiously await
ed and it is to be hoped that the set
tlement will result in the restoration
of amicable relations between all the
people of the three school districts
which are embraced in the consoli-
dated district, which district one side
contends is legal and the other con-
tends is illegal.

1t will be remembered that when
the three districts voted on the con-
solidation question last year, Loback
and Coiumbine gave big majorities
in favor of consolidating while the
vote in Pomona was very close, the
proposition carrying by about 2 votes.

However, the consolidated district

dated district started to hold an cleo
tion at the Pomona school house for
the purpose of having vote taken
on the proposition of issuing bonds

critics, as steps toward bringing about
the erection of big joint school
building for the three districts.
However, that afternoon. before
the polls opened the anti-consolida-
tion people of Pomona got out an in
junction, stopped the election, and
blocked progress for the time being
The complaint set up by the
"antis" was very sensational, alleg-
ing fraudulent voting at the first
election. declaring that the whole
proceedings had been Illegal and
making various other sensational
charges. The complaint was pub
lished in full by The Sentinel at the
time OF course the officers of the
consolidated district made no effort
to go ahead with the election.
The matter has been pending in the
district court ever since but tomorrow
1t comes up for disposition before
Judge Shackleford and the outcome
is eagerly awaited.
Today being regular election day
in all school districts the people in
the three districts forming the con-
solidated district, believing that the
legality of the consolidated district
will be sustained by the court are
holding the regular election and are
voting for three officers who will
form the board. The present offic-
ers. President R. E. Turpin, Secretary
Fl. II. TYLER and Treasurer T. w.

elected.
