GOOD TENNIS PLAYING.
Miss sutton, of California, Shows Her
Worth as Woman's Champion.

Boston, May 17.-IMiss May Sutton of
Pasadena, Cal, gave the local patrons
of the game an excellent chance to-
day to see that tennis strength and
skill which has won for her the title Of
worlds woman champion.
In her morning match in the invita-
tion singles she found in Mrs. Berger
Wallach of New York and Newport
an opponent who she said afterwards,
gave her the hardest match in her ex-
perience. In the afternoon the little
Pacific coast champion pulled out a
victory in the mixed doubles contest
after her partner had lost his nerve
and the score was five games to three
against them. The rally came on
three of her fierce drives along the side
lines and straight at her man opponent,
which nearly carried him off his feet.
Although Miss Sutton defeated Mrs.
Wallach in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, the
match was much harder fought than
the score seems to show Three games
in the first set went to deuce and two
in the second, while Mrs. Wallach,
playing her usual base line game, sent
back many of the hard driven balls.

PENNsHLKANlA GAVE REBATES
Charge Made Against Road by Head OF
Coal Company.

Philadelphia, May 17.-That the Penn
sylvania Railroad company gave re-
bates as recently as 1908 was the charge
made to-day by Frank B. Wigton. head
of the Morrisdale Coal company, before
the interstate commerce commission.
Mr.. Wigton's statement caused some
thing of a sensation because of the fact
that while the commission was In ses-
sion in Baltimore Vice President Thay-
er of the Pennsylvania railroad stated
that the company had made no allow
ance or concessions since 1899. Mr..
Wigton gave detailed statement of
the conditions in the soft coal region
, and accused the Pennsylvania Rail
road company of discriminating in al
loting coal cars citing cases to sub
stantiate his charges.
He was asked by counsel for the
commission If he had any knowledge
of rebating by the railroad company.
He said in reply that since the retire.
ment of w. H. Joyce, general traffic
manager Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
There had been no rebating so far as
he knew. Within a few months pre-
vious to the retirement of Mr. Joyce,
however, he said, he had received re-
bates amounting to from $1,000 to $2O-
600 on tidewater shipments. Mr.. Joyce
retired in June, 1908. Mr.. Wigton also
named several other companies which,
he said. had received rebates.
Charles E. Hugh, second vice presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania raidoad, was
one of the witnesses to-day. He was
questioned regarding his policy with
regard to the placing of sidings.
Michael Trump, general superinten-
dent of transportation, was examined
concerning the distribution Of cars, and
r. L. oConnell, general superintendent
Of the Buffalo and Allegheny Valley
division, told of having been given
blocks of stock in various coal COM
panies while he was in charge Of the
distribution department of the Pitts
burg division.

AGAINST TOBACCO COMPANY
CONTINENTAL LOSES ITS CASE IN
MASSACHUSETTS.
Court Declares the Evidence Illustrates
Some of the Tendencies of the Times
Free and Open Competition stifed
State Statute Does Not Interfere
with Interstate Commerce.

Boston, May ia decision against
the Continental Tobacco company and
one upholding the constitutionality Of
ers was announced to-day by the su-
preme court Of Massachusetts,. The
court says:
"The evidence In this case illustrates
some of the tendencies of the times.
The defendants employer, the Conti-
mental Tobacco company, is incorpor-
Eated with a capital stock Of $75000,O 900.
At the time of the sales for which the
defendant is indicted it had absorbed
more than twelve establishments used
for the manufacture and sale of plug
tobaccos, and owned by as many pro-
prietors Prior to its incorporation
there was free and open competition in
the plug tobacco market in Massachu-
setts. 1t so consolidated and restricted
the trade that in January, 1904, it pro-
duced about 95 per cent. Of the plug to-
bacco and 80 per cent. Of the cut plug
tobacco in Massachusetts.
"The conditions We're about the same
in all parts of the state. There are
about 210 jobbers in Massachusetts, and
practically all stopped buying of inde-
pendent manufacturers when this COR
poration made this new proposition. 1t
had acquired such strength in its new
field that by the use Of such means as
the statute forbade it could expect cas-
lily to obtain practical monopoly of
the plug tobacco trade in Massachu-
setts."
The defendants contention that the
statute was unconstitutional, as it in
terfered with interstate commerce, was
not sustained, the court holding that
the statute does not attempt to regu-
late or impose any burdens upon inter-
state commerce,
