by some Of the great shipping interests
Of the country. He thinks that broad
middle ground here is the safer ground,
and that both the public and railway
managers can, without difficulty, meet
upon it. To 90 to either extreme would
be to invite defeat for the proposed
legislation.
Accepts Cabinet Advice.
The president has taken the advice
of his cabinet on this question, and
told Mr.. Hepburn yesterday that he
had named the attorney general to rep
resent him in working out the details
of the bill. Mr.. Moody has since spent
some time with Mr.. Hepburn going over
the bill and whipping it into shape

of the country have been in Washing

now believes there is better than a

On their own accord. They talked the
question over with the president, got
his views, and then asked him if he had

Upholds Presidents Views.

He discussed with the committee the
general ACCESSIBILITY Of enacting the
legislation favored by President Roose-
welt, and gave the president,s views
his hearty support, backing up his judy
ment in a highly convincing and inform
ing way. He wants the Interstate COM
merce commission clothed with the
power which it had to determine rates
prior to the adverse supreme court de-
cision of 1897.
Representative Hepburn Of the com:
mittee asked him to construe section 4
sion, which he read to him twice. Mr..
Staples declined to construe it, saying
that that had already been done by the
supreme court, and then he cited sew
eral decisions, notably that Of 1897,
which show that while it was undoubt-
edly the intention Of congress to confer
on the commission power, to determine
terminal points, the supreme court had
taken that power away from it and con
ferred it upon the railroads. In Mr..
Staples Judgment, this question Of the
long and short haul is Of equal import
ance with the question Of permitting the
said they should go together.
Staples Expects Action.
It is Mr.: Staples opinion that the
house committee will report favorably
some kind Of bill this session carrying
out the president s views, and that such
bill will go thru that body. As to
its chances in the senate, however, he is
not prepared to speak, but he is clearly
of the opinion that if the conservative
law, asked for by the president, is not
enacted at this time, congress next win
ter will be called upon to pass one much
more drastic in its character.
He says it is hardly possible to ex-
aggerate regarding the interest the gen:
eral public is taking in the question of
rate legislation. That interest will be
greatly intensified should congress fail

ter the public will be demanding con
siderably more than it is now willing
to accept. AS man having some &C
quaintance with that sentiment, and be

proposed legislation, he believes that il
would be the height of folly for the
railways to place anything IN the presi
dents way at this time.

Mr.. Staples believes that the Cooper

NEW JERSEY GOLF TOURNEY.
Ward Beat Champion Graham on
Twenty-First Hole

John M. Ward was the conspicuous figure
yesterday in the continuation of the New
Jersey golf championship tournament on the
links of the North Jersey Country Club at
Paterson, N. ]. He began his days VIC
tories by defeating Archibald Graham, who
won the Metropolitan championship last
week at Fox Hills. This was decidedly the
sensa tional match of the day. Graham had
been a strong favorite, but he was very
weak in putting. and this eventually proved
disastrous 10 him. The match was close
from the start, but Graham had lead of
one at the sixteenth hole. Poor putting on
Graham's part gave Ward the home hole
in to T. and tied the game. Three extra
holes were then played. the first two being
halyed, but Ward won thu. short third hole
in 3 to f. Graham again missing short
put.
In the afternoon Ward had another hard
match, meeting the Montclair school lad
and ex-MetIopolitan champion, Harold Will
cox. Ward, however, was right on his
game, and every shot was made with stead

more player, who was later defeated by Da-
wilson, which, in the estimation of many
tennis players. places Davidson in a class
superior to the champion. 1t is said that
Allen Is not playing up to his true form this
year, and If these reports true there
seems to be no doubt in the minds of many
that the cup will go to the local man, who
is capable of putting up magnificent fight
for its possession. There will be large gal
leTies upon the Bachelors courts this after
noon, as rooters of the local club will come
out in numbers to cheer for their man in
the hope that he may wreSt the champion
ship trophy from his rival from New York.
The match between Davidson and Glaze
brook was closely contested throughout,
and the tall physician did all in his power
to win the games. In the first set Davidson
won after an uphill fight. and then DR..
GlaZebrook won the second set handily, and
many thought that the champion would be
opposed by him, but in the next two sets
Davidson won and the honor of meeting
Allen went to him.
In the ladies' singles Miss Marie Winner
won from Miss Spurgin, which was quite
contrary to the opinion of a great many
persons who have watched the latter play
during the present tournament. Miss Winner
will therefore be pitted against Miss Nicely
the champion, and many believe that she
has a good: chance to win the coveted honor
1t was believed that Miss Spurgin would win
from Miss Winner, she had shown she
had wonderful ability in playing the game
but Miss Winner in the match yesterday aft
ernoon won in both of the games by scores

In the doubles between Glazebrook and
Larned ard Parkes and Hills the former
pair won the first set 81, and lost the sec

rain put an end to the match, the score was
40 in favor of Parkes and Hills. The

DECISION FOR HANLON.
Bested Corbett in Twenty Round Go
at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-Eddie Hanlon
fought Young Corbett to standstill dur
ing the last few rounds of a twentyround
contest and got a hard-earned decision
from Referee Holman at the end of the
twentieth round. The fight was an excit-
ing one from start to finish. During the
first part of the contest Hanlon had
slight advantage, but no harm was done
to either man until the eleventh round.
Then Hanlon rushed Corbett to the ropes,
but the Denver man stalled Hanlon off
and blocked number of stomach punches.
Corbett got to the center of the ring and
in a mix up put left and right swings to
lannon's Jaw. Hanion went to his knees
and took the count of nine. He came up
fighting and, in spite of Corbett's strenuous
EFFORTS to put him out, he finished the
round strong. For the next Tour ROUNDS
Corbett went at his man. and in the thir-
teenth had Hanlon very tired Hanlon
braced up in the fourteenth and seemed TO
have slight margin over Corbett. The
fifteenth round was about even. HanlCn
landed a left and right to the Jaw but
they did no harm. The sixteenth round was
Cbrbetts. The seventeenth was Hanlon's
round The eighteenth was about even. al
though Corbett had shaoe the peter OF
it at the end
The nineteenth and twentieth were all
Hanlon's. All during the nineteenth he
stood up close to Coroett pounding away
at the Denver boys stomach. Corbett was
tired and could not hit back.
In the twentieth Hanlon came up strong
and went right at his man. They stood
breast to breast, each with his head TO the
others shoulder, and slugged for all that
was in them. Hanlon was the stronger and
forced Corbett all around the ring, play
ing a lively tattoo on his stomach He
fought Corbett against the ropes ana nad
hin, at his mercy Corbett came very near
going off the platform, but staggered back
to the center Of the ring. The round closed
with both men on their feet, with Corbett
all but out.
The decision was a popular one with the
crowd, as Hanlon in the last few rounds
