yesterday at Longwood in the tennis al
lhe Longwood Cricket club. or the 20
played contests in singles Is were car
tied to extra sets. while In the match
between II. Leroy and A. Stillman C2
games were necessary before the for

The feature matches Of the day were
the two which brought the sport 10 a
close, T.. B. Dewhurst OF Philadelphia
caught ~ w. Niles. the Harvard cham
pion. of his game and won sets TO 1.
while Karl H. Behr, the Yale expert
put out 7. II. Pell. Jr., OF New York.
although the latter gave him hard
contest for two sets.
Irving Wright had another hard
match. his opponent being j. o. Ames
of Providence For the first set the
play was very close. Ames covering his
court well ana playing with great
steadiness and determination. After
that Wrights greater cleverness stood
him In good stead and at the end he
won as he pleased. with Ames all tired
out. First set matches seemed TO be
the order of the day. and Johnson and
Putnam went TO the limit. Johnson is
a school hoy from Philadelphia, and
showed very good form. He stood up
well against occasionally brilliant play
by his older opponent, and was cool and
steady from start TO finish
]. u. r. Jones, state champion OF
Rhode Island, is one OF the players
whose work is being watched with
great interest. In the third round OF
yesterdays play he had little difficulty
in disposing OF ]. Il. Read In straight
sets In all OF his matches thus far he
has shown great strength and ctcadi-
ness, his finished work attracting
good gallery every time he plays
A good start was made In the East
ern doubles. and the drawings prove
very interesting. 1t looks as IL there
would be a chance for only moderately
good pairs TO reach the semt-finals In
the first and last quarters. In the first
are Haughton and Fearing. Watson and
Solston and Irving Wright and Bishop.
while in the last Seaver and Putnam
are apparently better than any OF their
opponents. In the second quarter
Hackett and Alexander are likely TO
meet wrenn and Fincke In the second
round in what should be one OF the
most important matches of the tourna-
ment. The remaining section is even
more crowded with good teams. Clo-
thier and Larned should meet Little
and Behr in the fourth round. Besides
these two, the sections contoin Pell

Warland and Niles. The summary

the ruins. the work OF clearing away the
debris of the business block which col
lapsed Monday afternoon carrying TO
their death more than half a score or
men, was kept up uninterruptedly
through the night. and another SHIFT OK
laborers was set to work today.
A large amount OF cement bricks ana
iron work still lay piled In the cellar OF
the building today. though the search has
been prosecuted as rapidly as possible.
With the recovery of the eleventh body
last night IL was thought probable that
not more than two other bodies still lay
concealed amid the ruins, and II was be-
ueved that II any bodies were there, they
would be unearthed today.
Preparations for the beginning OF an
investigation OF the cause of the collapse
of the building were made today by the
committee OF seven provided for at last
nights town meeting. In addition IL was
expected also that the inquest for the
formal determination of the manner of
the death of the victims would be called
by Judge Kingsbury at once.
Chester Nicholson. the most seriously
injured OF the survivors of the disaster
has been operated upon by physicians.
Some pieces OF bone were removed from
his spinal column and the patient was re-
ported fairly comfortable after the opera
ton
The ceaseless toll OF 100 laborers
throughout the night did not bring forth
any more bodies from the ruins and when
the laborers were relieved by fresh
gang OF men at o'clock there were no
prospects for an early discovery OF ad-
ditional bodies
At the hospital IL was said that the men
injured in the accident were as comforta-
BILE as could be expected. Chester Nichol-
son, who sustained an injury to the spine
was still on the dangerous list. however

Lo1dOn.-EuroDe continues to be

Their revelation of intimate CONVEX

so astounded politicians in Berlin
that it is suggested that the Dublica-
ton OF the memoirs constitutes part
of a plot of the Kaiser's enemies to
undermine his influence aud discredit
him in the yes of GERMANY. There
has long been gOssin of dissatisfac-
ton with his policy in many exalted
