Newspaper Comment.
New York, June 18. The New
York World today in a 2,000 'word
editorial says that the people's ef
forts to " 'deify' Roosevelt are not
from political prejudice, but from
reaction." The writer adds.
"What every thoughtful American
has reason to be concerned about are
not the plans and purpose of Roose
velt, but tho average citizen's atti
tude toward democratic instincts as
revealed by Ills attitude ' 'toward
Roosevelt."
The New York American says:
"Coincidences will never cease.

Sacramento, Calif,, June 18. "I
notic6 that District Attornoy Fickort
in his reported interviews complains
about stopping tho fight at this late
hour, and others, too, aro making
tho same criticism," said Governor
Glllott In a formal statement today.
"In reply to all theso complaints I
wish to say that tho press of this
country has not reported mo correct
ly. For instance ono of tho Chicago
papers published an Interview with
me which never took place wherein
I was made to say that tho fight
would bo a big thing for San Fran
cisco; that it would bring many peo-
p'e yie.ra.wlio woulrtispen(Umfech'

San Francisco in securing recogni
tion from congress ror Its Papana
Paclflc oxposltion the Jeffries-Johnson
fight was scheduled to take
place In Alameda county. I learned
that the lpcal authorities wero In
vestigating it and I thon said that
tho stato ought not to do police duty
in a municipality so long as tho local
authorities wero discharging their
duty and wero ablo to copo with tho
situation. I
"I understood that tho promoters
of tho fight wero told that they could
not hold it In Alameda county, be
causo It would bo a violation 'of tho
law. and tho fight was then trans-,
ferred to San Francisco. It was then
up to tho district attornoy of San
Francisco to m(ike tho samo investi
gation that was made by tho attor
ney of Alameda county and ho was
requested to do. so, I am informed.
I was in tho East, returning homo

Hundreds of persons In lower

posuro.
Soldiers aro burning tho dead

I called up District Attorney Flckert
and ho told me that ho would not do
anything to stop it. Tho local au
thorities of San Francisco refusing
to tako any action, It thon became
my duty ns governor to do so, and
Insldo of 24 hours I prepared my
letter to tho attorney-general and In
structed him to tako tho necessary
steps to stop tho fight.
"I consider that there was no de
lay but prompt action after I
learned that tho district attorney of
San Francisco had refused to do his
duty. t
"But It is no excuse for the com
mission of a crime that tho officers
of the law wore slow to stop It. Mon
