The matter was presented this morn

by the committee on temperance There
has been a sharp fight in the commit

report OF the committee condemning the
practice was adopted this morning The
agitation has been unusually pronounc-

The finals OF the first annual Middle
Atlantic States tennis tournament

Hooker played brilliantly and both were
erratic The match developed largely
into fight TO see who would get to the
net first, both men excelling at this style
of play Hooker showed good form as a
rule and excellent head work. but was a
bit of on his ground strokes DOyle's
game improved steadily as the match
progressed. In the first set he was un-
steady and made half a dozen double
faults at critical times
Doyle used a hard chop stroke which
proved very effective and puzzled Hooker
not a little. The latter was especially
strong on his back hand voIleying and
the and again dropped the ball in the
right. hand corner of DOyle's court just
out Of his reach.
The challenge trophy. a handsome sill
yer bowl. which must be won three
years. not necessarily in succession. be-
comes the property of Doyle for this
year, and he will defend his right to 1t
next spring. Besides this he receives a
handsome silver cup as winner of the
tournament Hooker gets the runner
up prize.

ATLANTA, Ge., May 26.-There are
zoo Joseph Benson Forakers in the
Southern States. according to the latest
reports, all Of the genus 'pickaninny."
This interesting situation arises from
the fact that for a time the Southern
negroes hailed the Senator from Ohio
as a savior from the almost intolerable
conditions which attended travelling for
the negro in the region where the Jim
Crow law reigns undisputed.
Senator Foraker. with p view TO re-
iieving the hardShips imposed on South
ern negroes. who are often herded to-
gethcr on railroads under conditions
little better than those under which
ca tile travel, added 10 the rate bill the
provision that all persons paying the

PROMISED PLACES
TO STOCKHOLDERS
Sanitarium Promoter Held for
Obtaining Money Under
False PretenSeS.

Central Office Detectives Parham and
O'Brien are sti1 investigating the case
OF DR.. Robert l.. Anderson. who is held
at the First precinct station on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses He insists he passed no
worthless checks here and really in
tends TO establish sanitarium at At
lantic City. although he specified no
time when it will be in operation.
Anderson passed q check for $50 on
Thomas II Atkinson, at Eleventh and
G streets northwest, several DAYS aso.
and when 1t was presented at the bank
payment was refused. The check pur-
ported to be signed by Frank J. Sims"
and was drawn on the Columbia Ma
Honal Bank. Teh account is fictitious.
II is alleged by the police that for
several years Anderson has been travel
ing over the country ''rOping in women
by selling them stock in 4 sanitarIum
and vapOr bath concern which he said
he would establish in Atlantic City.
The police say he has collected several
thousand dollars from women in various
parts OF the country during the past
four years. but has not made the first
step toward establishing his sanitarium-
Promised Positions to Stockholders
DR.. Anderson is alleged TO have told
all the women who gave him money for
his stock that he would see that they
had good paying position in the sani-
tarilIm.
On April 10 Anderson was traced 70
this city by Mrs Elizabeth Farrell. and
her husband, who live in Atlantic City
The woman alleges that Anderson sold
her $50 worth OF stock and promised her
the position Of manager OF the sani-
tarium- On the strength OF this she
employed number OF nurses and at
tendants and sent them TO Atlantic City
10 wait until the sanitarium opened.
Cannot Cure Himself.
DR. Anderson says when he gets his
sanitarium in working order il will be
the greatest institution In the world
He says he has a positive cure for tu-
berculosiS and paralysis. The police
think the best evidence In the world
that Dr. Anderson has no cure for
paralysis is the fact that he is suffer
ing from this afalction himself and
walks with no little effort
Detectives declare that more than
uOzen women in Washington were vic
umized by Dr Anderson. 4 martial

20 nav obtained money on promises TO
