Iliioklns for lloalth. "Hon. U. H, Webb, nttonioy-gfln-oral. - Dear Hit". I desire to call jour attention to a Ho-cnllod prizefight to tulco plaeo on (ho Fourth of July next In tho city mid county of Kan 1'VaneiHco, between ono Jim Jeffries and ouo Jack JoIiiihoii. Many com plalnlH aro received at this office from prominent citircn of tlio tnte protoHtiui; iiKaiimt thiH Ho-eallod fiulil and io(iii;HliiiK' that Nome ac tion ho taken by tlio proper author! tioH to prevent tho Hiimo. "Tho dhitriet attorney of San i FranoiHCo Iiiih informed me that he , dooii not propoHo to interfere in the tiitit tor. The find HoKHiou of the loir- iHlntiiro held in (IiIh Htato in the year I 185(1 enuetcd a law makiui; it a fel- on.v for two puiHotiH to fiiht oaeh 'other upon u proviotm aerccuient or j upon a waiter for money or any ' other rowurd. TIiIh law Iiiih boon amended from time to time, but never ho iih to make pricfiehtiiiu lawful. ' "In 3(I(KI the leeifilature apiiu i iiuiunded the law relating to pri.i!- fiKhlint;. While the law an amended j permitted 'Hparriue exhibitions' for a ' limited number of roumlH with kIovoh to bo hold by a domoHtic incorporated club, it did not remove the hnu j which the Iiiwh of thin Htato have al- wayfl plaeod upon prizefighting. While a Hptirrinc exhibition, under contain couilitioiiH and restriutioiiN Ih punuiHiible, under thin act, a prire fiulit w t ill remaiiiH a felony. Therc foro tho (iiicHtion ariHCH, what in a prize fik'ht nod what i a Kparrinu' exhibition? Tho formor Ih n crime. Tho latter ik lawful. "It in claimed by many that the content hooii to tnko placo between JohuHou and Jeffries ih to ho a prire fiuht, nH that tonn is understood in the law. and therefore a crime under our HtatutoR. If thin in (me, it Hhould bo proveutcd, but if carried out tho iutercHtcd parties should be ipiminhcd, an provided by law. I he- ! Imvo that you should investik'ato the matter nt otiee and (tike such leir.il tepH iih may bo pi-opor in your judit- ment, if warranted by the facto, in ( prchentiiiK the case to the court f r iitH deciHion, and ask to have all in- I (crested parties enjoined pendiuu the heariuc. Our Kiiproino court linn never defined n prize fiiIii, and 1 believe that an opportunity should bo u'iveu it to do no. Since the amendment of tho law in 1SHU pcr miltiuj; Hpnrrine; exhibitions, prize fis;htini?. under tho ciiiHe of thin nuieiidmont, hns irreatly increased and has been tolerated in California, until today our Htnlo is a Mecca for prizofiuhtom, much to our disorodit. Our people have a richt to demnnil that prize fit-hlinc shall cease in tin state, and it will, if our present laww are enforced, especially if our eouits fdlow the decisions of the supreme eourtrt of our sitor btatca in dofin injr prizo fichtn. "In Michigan u prizo fiijlit exists iieii more ih an expectation oi re ward to bo Kiiincil by tho contest or competition eithor by the contest or competition either to bo won by tho contestants or to be otherwise awarded, coupled with an intent (o inflict unon such contestants some doirroo of bodily barm. "In Kansas tho supremo court held that tho contest must bo a fight and that thoro must bo nn intent on (he imrt of tho contoHtantH to do vio lonco to and inflict hoiiio ducreo of bodily harm on each othor, and tho fight must bo for some prizo or re ward. Othor stntes havo mado Bimi Inr rules to show thnt tho' so-called sparring exhibitions hold in this stale under tho nuspieos of an in corporated athletic club linvo not boon spnrring exhibitions, but prize fights. I nood but refer you to tho fights of our daily pnpors. I will call your attention to tho two or Ihreo recent ones. First, the Mornn McCailhy fight. "Tho Oakland Tribune in its issue of April .'10, in reporting il, uses this language: 'After (he Kith nmnd hud gone hoiiio f0 seconds, Moran landed a blow on McCarthy's jaw. It did not look to be a heavy punch, but (ho young fighter went over back wards. His bend seoniiiiL'lv dronnml Mow as though his neck had been injured, and as ho struck the floor (ho sound of (ho impact could bo heard th'roughout the building. "McCarthy died. "Next, (ho Nelson-Wolgast fight, ihal look plaeo on Washington's birthiluy (it seems (hat prizo-figbl-ors all want (o fight on Washing Ioii'h birthiluy, Decoration day and Independence dny) nnd reported in nil tho daily papers in tho stale l rounds. 1 ipioto from the San Fran cisco Chronicle of Februnry 2J: "'Hound 1! NoIsou'h liiis were puffed and his mouth and eyes swol- Ion, Thoy mixed It like tigers, Wol-1 gust having nil tho bettor of it, land ing ropontodly on tho body and jaw, willi Nelson fighting wildly and spit ting blood.' '' Tho following Hcnlciico in (ho gov ernor's letter was underscered: "'WolgiHt literally cut tho Hnt tler'n face to ribbotin, hut still the Dano enmo for moro.' " 'Round .'10 WolgaHt appeared loath to put in tho finishing punch. Ho jabbed iuccBHantly at tho Bat tler's anatomy and again tho blood floued in n stream. WolgaHt al moHt Hout NoIhoii to tho floor, land ing blow nflor blow on tho dcfciiHC Ichh champion'H fnee' "In tho saino issue of tho Chrou iclo ih a report of tho fight between Conley and Attoll, which took place near Los Aiigelcn on February 22. I (liiolo from it: '"After wearing IiIh opponent down until ho practically had no strength loft with which to mnko an ndeiiiato defense, much Ichh put up an offennivn Htvlo of bntllo, Conley rushed in and gave Attcll hiicIi n ter rifio drubbing in tho 42(1 round of their scheduled -If)-round fight at Vernon thiH afternoon that tho Snn Francisco boy wan unable to rise when knocked lo (he floor with u full right Hwing that caught him on the back of tho head. "Attcll was lying unconscious upon his buck, sprawled at full lenuth, and did not movo when his seconds lifted him in their iiruis and carried him to his corner.' "If these contests wcro not prize fights, then the historic bnttle be tween Ilcenan and Snyres wns not. "I havo no doubt thnt the coming contest between Jeffries and John son will bo a repetition of tho bru tality mentioned in tho foregoing fights, only on a largor Hcnlo. "Such contests nro prizo fights, not permitted bv the law, and should bo punished as such, "Those who encago in them are prize-fighters and mnko their living bv fighting each other for prizes and rewards. "The wbolo business is demoraliz ing to tho youth of our stnte, cor rupts public morals, is offensive to the senses of a great innjoritv of our citizens nnd should nbatc as a pub lic offense nnd the offenders pun ished. "If tho court, upon your petition, refuses to grant the relief prayed for therein, and pennits tho parties interested to proceed as advertised bv them, then I desiro you, on behalf of the peonlo of tho state, to gather all evidence possible, nnd if tho con test is carried out as advertised and the parlies fight for n purse or for a roard nnd inflict muni eneh other bodily injury, thon you nro to cnusc tho nrrost of tho principals and thoe inteioslod with them in pro innting the fight nnd try them on .i felony charge for violating section 112 of tho penal code.
