The Opening Singles
Yesterday was an ideal day for out.
door sports. Nothing finer in the way
of weather for tennis could be asked
for by the most devoted lover of the
game. The beautiful grounds of the
Country Club were never in finer con-
dition. The balmy air, the blue sky,
the beautiful scenery all contributed
to the pleasure of the present eventful
occasion. A large audience witnessed
the singles of the forenoon. Five Of
these were played, best w out OF
three In two series Of three each. II
only took five sets to settle these, two
sets handrunning being won in one
series. These we're between J..O. Wat,
son of Fairmont and j. A. Shrewsbury,
of Petersburg. Mr.. Shrewsbury
played a fairly good game, but it was
by no means good enough to defeat
Mr.. Watson. The scores were six to
nothing and six TO two in favor of the
Fairmont man.
The other series also resulted in the
defeat Of a Parkersburg player but the
winner knew he had something on
his hands before he got through. This
was between Ralph Hanlon, OF Wheel
ing and George Rossrof Parkersburgt
The sets were splendidly played and
the contest a close one. Mr.. Hanlon
won the first set by a score of six tc
four. The second was won by Mr.. Ross
by the same. score, six to four. This
left things in a. decidedly interesting
shape. The fl.al Sc; could not be
anything but exciting after this. I'm
fortunately for Parkersburg it wenl
the wrong way and did not turn out
to be as close as either of the other
sets. 1t resulted in a score of six to
three in favor of Mr.. Hanlon, Wheeling
thus carrying OF the honor of this
event. An fntermission was taken TIL
two o'clock at the conclusion of this
set.
Several Prizes offered.

is that Mr., Elkins voted against a
number of amendments to the Hep
burn rate BILL which were apparently
designed to strengthen and improve
1t.
AS a matter of fact. the Hepburn
rate bill was discussed in the Senate
for over 20 days. No measure vas ev-
er more thoroughly considered in all
its parts. Dozens of amendments
were offered and voted down. not nee,
essarily because the purposes Of the
amendments were not good, but often
because their purposes We're accom-
.plished fully by some other amend
lnent, differently worded, or because,
as was often the case. the bill itself
provided in some other section the
very thing which some jealous or am
bilious Senator desired TO secure by
amendment. The Hepburn bill, as it
came from the House Of Representa-
tlves, without a single amendment,
embodied in full the ideas OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary Moody, and
practically every other friend of effec-
tive railroad rate legislation. 1t pass
ed the House by nearly an unanimous
vote. John Sharp Williams, the Dem
ocratfc leader in the House, and 20
per cent. of the Democrats in the
House voted for 1t.
How then can Democrats criticize
Senator Elkins or any one else for
voting against unnecessary n SUI
perfluous changes in a bill that had
already been wrought out and per
Ifected in many essential details?
And unnecessary and superfuous was
exactly the nature of the Bailey, Gull
berson, LaFollette and Morgan amend
ments, which the Democratic critics
now assai1 Mr.. Elkins for opposing.
They pretended to " phases Of
court review that were better covered
Iby the bill itself, and to instruct the
Interstate Commerce Commission as
to points on which it had already am
Pile direction and information,
It is a fact. a fact of which West
ytrgtnians may well feel proud, that
the only important amendments to the
Hepburn rate bill, which resulted
from the entire 20 days debate, were
offered by Senator Elkfns himself. The
first of these amendments prohibited
Interstate Commerce in an article
mined or manufactured by a common
carrier. This means the complete
separation Of the West Virginia rail-
roads from the business of coal min
ing. The second provided that rail-
roads shall promptly make sattsfac-
tory switch connections with spur and.
laterel lines along their routes.
These amendments covered the
g~rossest evils Of which West Virginia
shippers complained. They were the
only important additions to the rate
bin made in the Senate, and they were.

MURDERS FOR
 SAKE OF GIRL
Judge C. Meade Emory Killed by Chester Thompson, Son of
 We'll Known Lawyer.
ny cable to The Dally aateway.

Seattle, July 9-A tragic event oc- cured in this city Saturday evening, resulting in the death of G. Meade Emory, ex-judge of the superior court of King county, at the hands of Ches- ter Thompson, the nineteen-year-old son of Attorney Will Fl. Thompson.
 Young Thompson was a suitor for the hand of Miss Charlotte Whittlesey, daughter of C. F. Whittlesey and niece of Judge Emory. Both the father and uncle had forbidden the youth to com municate with the young girl, strongly opposing his suit Saturday night at 9 o'clock Thompson called at the home of the judge, where Miss Whittlesey was staying. Judge Emory was sitting | on the veranda and saw Thompson en- ter the house. He quicklyIarose for the purpose of ejecting the unwelcome visitor. The latter devined his object, and drawing a revolver fired three shots at the advancing judge. One entered Emory's breast, piering a lung: another took effect near an arm- pit, and the third went wild. The wounded jurist sank to the floor.
 Young Thompson then grabbed Emory's two children, hustled them into bedroom and entering himself locked the door On arrival of the po- lice Thomson said that he would kill the children if they attempted to break into the room. The boys father was hastily summoned, and finally prevailed upon his son to surrender and the police took him to the county jail.
 Judge Emory fingered until this morning, when he passed away. He was conscious all the time, consoling his weeping wife and kissing his little children a last goodbye.
 Young Thompson claimed the deed was done in self-defense. It is now known that he went to the Emory house with the avowed purpose of kill ing Miss Whittlesey and then commit ting suicide. The boys mind is un- balanced and his acts are at times ir- responsible, and the shocking deed was undoubtedly committed while the un- fortunate youth was in state of tenn porary insanity.
