Ll'r‘m Rock. Oct. ill. -—Govcrnor Clark,
who has been examining the laws closely
touching the gubernatorial power to pre
vent prise fighting. has outlined his in.
tentions in communications addressed tr
the officers at Hot Springs and the prin-
cipals in the proposed fight.
Upon the mooted question of the proper
mode of proceeding the govornor hart
counseled with other lawyers. and his pro
nunclamento. which is in favor of .pre
ventative measures, is regarded as final.
The governor will hold himself ready tr

are with sufficient force the propriety of
declaring the fight off. In his letter to
Judge Duffie Governor Clark says:
"I begtoassuro you that you shall have
my earnest and cheerful cooperation is
any effort you may make to suppress tho
proposed fight at Hot Springs. Any order
that you may make in this connection
shall not prove ineiIectivo for want of
power to enforce it. I say this with con
ndenoe, because I hold in the highest re
spect the fidelity and courage of Shorifl
Boom and feel sure that his active as
sistance can be fully relied upon. If it
shall, contrary to my expectations, be
come necessary to proceed without thr
valuable aid of the sheriff, I stand ready
to supply all aid that may be necessary.
objects to Invasion of Thugs.
"I agree with you that preventative pro
ooedings will in this instance meet the
demands of law and justice. The featurr
of this threatened prize fight, which but
aroused and will continue to amuse the
indignation of our people is its character
as an invasion of the state by a class oi
persons and for a purpose that will not be
tolerated elsewhere. Under the circum-
stances it is a practical assertion of a be-
lief that our people do not possess tastes
and sentiments that humanize with
standards wlrioh prevail in enlightened
communities. Regarded as such an inva-
sion. the proposed event assumes a rung-
nitude that would not attach to a similar
aflair locally organized; it becomes more
than an infraction of a statute, and in its
suppression calls for the exercise of more
summary measures. I will treat your leti
tor to me as an application to support
your efforts to deal with the matter in
this aspect, and not until I shall have ex-
haustod the very comprehensive powers
conferred on the governor by section 7.18!
of ‘Sandol's and Hill's Digest.’ will 1 ad-
mit that I have made the effort in vain.
"I will notify the parties principally in-
terested in this affair of my determination
to cooperate with the local authorities in
their efforts to prevent its occurrence at
Hot Springs and request them to desist
from further preparations in this direc-
tion. "
In his letter to Sheriff lioupt Governor
Clark expresses a desire to confer with
him personally in ordr to reach an un-
derstanding as to what or it is necessary
to carry out his purpose.
The Governor Telemphs the Fighters.
In addition to notifying President Stu-
art of the Florida Athletic club by ruall
of his dotcrmlnntion to prcvcnt the fight.
Governor Clark telegraphed Corbett and
Fitzslrnmons as follows:
“i run advised by press dispatches that
it is your purpose at an early day to on-
gago in a prize fight in this state. The
purpose of this is to inform you that such
an act is in violation of our law and an
affront to the sentiment of state pride ou-
tcrtalncd by our people. it will therefore
not be miscible for you to accomplish any
such purpose. and any attempt on your
part to do so will subjr-ct you to penalties
and to treatment that I am sure will be
highly distasteful to you. I do not at this
time know in detail all the complimrtlons
in which you may be involved by any
such attempt, but I am well enough ud-
vlscd of the nature and oxtcutof the pow-
er and authority with which you will find
yourself confronted to any that it will
prove sufficient to «later you from ctrgag-
ing in a prize fight in Arkansas. This is
enough for you to know. The question so
far as it relates to you does not now call
for the citation of mustruction of statutes
or other rules of law. In the present state
of public opinion, which at last is the
force which inflicts tho penalties, prize
fighters have no rights which those in au-
thority are bound to respect. but there is
no lack of law to moire it now my duty to
do all that I here indicate.
“As this is the only wmmunlcation that
I shall address to you, I have to ire more
emphatic than would be the case other-
wise. "
Can't Fight on Government Territory.
WAHllnlo'rool, (lot. ill—Hocretary Smith
said that ho had no knowledge that the
Corbett- Fitzsirrrmoue prize fight managers
were intending to have the fight on the
government reservation at Hot Springs,
Ark, but that should any attempt be
made to have the fight on the reservation
he would soc that tho law was enforced.
Corbett and Fitzaimmons would not be
granted a permit from the interior depart-
ment, and if any of the lessons should
grant tho privilege of alight upon the
lands they had obtained from tho goverlr
moat he would revoke the lease of such
person.
Agent Wisdom at Muskogee telegraphed
that he had just rescind the letter of
instructions from Commissioner Drown-
ing and would take immediate steps to
prevent the fight taking place in the lil-
dian territory.
Chief Porryrnan of one of the tribes in
Indian territory telegraphed the Indian
ofiico asking if the ludian office had any
objection to glove contests and pugiiistio
encounters taking place in the territory.

when to. Vanderbilt appeared before the
registrars.
”Name. sail?" ejaculated the Afro
American, who cultivated his voiceas s

“Cornelius Vanderbilt, " was the reply.
The negro was paralyzed. When the
colored‘inspootor had recovered from his
spasm. he motioned his questions to the
multimillionaire.
“Kin you read and write, ash?”
A Tammany Hall inspector gave the
chimney sweep a swift kick under the ta-
ble. Ills Republican colleague. seeing
that Mr. Vanderbilt was a little fiurricd
over the query, came to the rescue, and
laid:
“Write down, ‘Yes.’ "
“How much does you Weigh?" was the
next question fired at Mr. Vanderbilt by
the dusky inspector.
“See here," exclaimed Mr. Vanderbilt,
with evident anger, “you areimpcrtinent.
What right have you to ask me such silly
and impertinent questions?”
"Do law ob do lan, boss; do law ob do

Mr. Vanderbilt appealed to the whit:

ing him the new law for

“What arrant nonsense," said Mr. Van-
derbilt. He then said that he was (if years
of age. weighed 170 pounds and was 5 feet
10 inches in height. His complexion was
recorded as dark.
As he started to leave the place of regis-
tration be tossed a quarter at the colored

rolled to the floor. The quarter and tho

Let us take up the challenge. No matter

rent.
New Your. Oct. lit—The Rev. Daniel
C. Potter, pastor of the Baptist taberna-
cle, Second avenue, between Tenth and
Eleventh streets, makes a direct accusa-
tion against John D. Rockefeller. Dr.
Potter says the Standard Oil magnate has
indirectly furnished money to pay detect-
ives who have watched him day and night
for five months, in order to get evidence
to use in a damage suit soon to be tried.
Dr. Potter secured a summons for one
of these detectives to appear yesterday in
Essex Market police court. The detective
did not appear. but .1. Barrington Sem-
ple, a lawyer of 120 Broadway, did, and
he said his client was so busy that he
couldn't come to court. .
Dr. Potter told .Mugistrate Cornell of
the espionage to which he had been sub-
jected. He said that for months private
detectives employed by the Wilkinson
agency at Broadway and John streets had
dogged his movements, and he was tired
of it. ,
Lawyer Sample said Dr. Potter wanted
to prevent people from walking in the
same street with him and from eating at
the same restaurant. It was absurd.
The magistrate agreed with Mr. Sem-
ple. saying he could do nothing unless
some overt act was committed. He said
the rnnn summoned. had done nothing dis-
orderly.
Magistrate Cornell took no action, say-
ing that the matter could be arranged out
of court. He then tore up the summons.
Dr. Potter's Statement.
After Dr. Potter left the court he had
this to say:
”This matter, like others with which
the public have become more or less fa-
miliar, grows "out of trouble with one
man. The Putnam affair. the burglar
Bender and this last phase are parts of it.
“Last March this man Bender broke in-
to my study while I was preaching in the
church. lie was caught rodhanded. I had
to go before three grand juries before I
got him indicted. lie was placed under
05,000 hail. lie pronrptly ran away. and
Richard V. Harriett, his bondsrnan.
promptly paid the bail bond.
“In reply to questions asked by the first
grand jury I said that I believed the
burglar was after papers which he thought
wore there and which were of great vul-
uo to John D. Rockefeller.
“After the Bender experience I began
to be more careful. I soon became aware
that I was being constantly watched.
WhoreVer I want I was followed by men
whose faces I soon come to know. There
were two who Were particularly active.
".1 determined to do some detective
work myself. . I found that my principal
shadow was John J. Traynor, employed
by the Wilkinson agency. who lives at 66
West One Hundred and First street. He
is a man with a glass eye. Under him
was John Kirton of 208 West Twanty-ilrst
street. Three others helped them.
"Traynor and Kirton hired the use of a
room at 153 Second avenue. from which
they could see my goings and comings.
They paid $3 a week to Dr. Borst. who
occupies tho houso, for the privilege of
watching me from the top floor.
Says He Was Followed Everywhere.
" Win-never Iwont out one of these men
would rush downstairs and follow me.
b'cvcml times J. J. Brady, superintendent
of the agency. has shadowed mo, particu-
larly wbvu I wont to Staten Island.
“if I Went into a restaurant. those men
would follow me. After I left the table
they would examine the glasses and dish-
os to ace what I had bccn outing and

for a minute.

flesh. and I corxlri stand it no longer.

court and scoured a summons for Troy-
nor. Kirtou. firmly and Wilkinson. I was
able to serve it only on Traynor. I roused
him out of bed this morning to hand it to
him. I did it myself because I wanted to
make no mistake.
“The money for the hire and expenses
of those detectives was furnisiu-d indirect-
ly by John D. Rockefeller."
John D. Rockefeller was seen at his
home in ’i‘arrytown. He read Dr. Potter's
charges and replied, "l have nothing to
