AMERICANS BEATEN TWICE
WRIGHT AND BEHR DEFEATED

Successful in Both of
Their Contests in Preliminary

LONDON, July 13.-The first contest in
the preliminary rounds for the purpose OF
determining who shall challenge the hold
ers for possession Of the Davis cup, en-
blem of the tennis championship, was de-
cided at Wimbledon this afternoon. Nor
man E. Brookes, Australia, winner of the
All-England championship a week ago, de-
feated Beals c. Wright America, in three
straight sets. When Wright and Brookes
were last here together in 1905 the Ameri-
can ex-champion twice beat the Australian.
but the latter today was in much better
trim and seemed to have command of the
game at all it's stages. The American failed
to reproduce the form he exhibited in 1905,
and the large crowd present was disap-
pointed in not witnessing the close fight
expected.
The second round of the singles between
Kari II. Behr. American, and A. +. Wild
ing. New Zealand, furnished far better
and more exciting tennis, five sets having
to be played. of which Wilding took three
to Behr's two. The powerful volleying of
Behr secured him the first set, but in the

to him. Behr wen the third by brilliant
play, but he was tired out by the steadiness
of Wilding, who was thus enabled to take
the two final sets and the match.

RADY TO QUIT KEYS.
New York Telegraphers Prepared for
Order to Strike,

NEW YORK, July 13.-New York Local,
No. IL, of the Commercial Telegraphers
Union has received notification from Ma
tonal Secretary-Treasurer Wesley Russell
directing its members to be in readiness to
strike at any moment. Secretary Treasurer
Charles P. Mclnerney of Local No. 16, who
made the announcement yesterday, said
that the question of strike here hinged on
the success of the efforts of United States
Commissioner Neill to settle the San Fran
cisco trouble. The telegraphers in New
York, he said. had been organizing rapidly
and the local was in good shape for a strike.
Asked If 1t was not rule of the union
that the local would have to take vote be-
fore strike could be declared, he said:
That rule can be suspended if the cir
cumStanceS warrant it, and the circum-
stances now warrant the suspension OF the
rule If the strike order comes the telegra-
piers will quit without any further formal
1ty The strike will likely be against both
the Western Union and Postal Telegrap oh
companies, though the main grievances are
against the Western Union Company. Not
outstanding the statements made by Presi-
dent Clowry at intervals that he will live
up to the spirit Of the letter he sent to
United States Commissioner Neill, he has
shown no inclination SO far to do SO. The
telegraphers are tired Of waiting. None of
the nine operators Who were discharged at
the main office has been reinstated yet and
more have been discharged"
According to Secretary McInerney a strike
here would affect $500 operators. Another
officer Of the local said that unless Commits
sioner Neill could accomplish what the
telegraphers had utterly failed to accom-
plish there would be strikes in several cities.
The national executive committee and
President Small he said, are working in full
harmony and there is no division of senti
ment
At the offices Of Local No. 16, Sc Pine
street, a great number of telegraphers have
been calling for the last day or two to pay
the strike assessment, which is q days pay
for each member. A number of the callers
are women. According to the officers Of
the local, many persons who were formerly
telegraphers but who are now in other lines
of business, are sending contributions to the
strike fund.
President Joseph F. Ahearn of Local No.
l6 was in conference yesterday with the
officers of unions in other trades.

REVISED TOBACCO RULES.
One Regulation Seems to Be of Special.
Interest

The revised regulations in connection with
the internal revenue taxes on tobacco,
which become effective on the LIST of Au-
gust, have been prepared and have re-
ceived the signature of Mr.. Capers, COM
missioner Of internal revenue. and of Mr..
CortelyOu. Secretary of the Treasurv. They
will be printed shortly. and more Lengthy
review of any changes Of interest can be
gotten from the printed report
One change, however. which seems to be
of special interest to the tobacco men, and
particularly to dealers in leaf tobacco, is in
section 1860 of the Revised Statutes, which,
under the ruling Of Mr.. Yerkes as commits
sfoner, required a much more elaborate
system of bookkeeping in the government
books at the warehouses and at the places
of business of the dealers than is required
under the amended regulations. Section
1860 is now construed so as to require the
entry of the name and address of every
person to whom tobacco Is sold, but it does
not require. as heretofore, that the names
and addresses of farmers from whom to-
bacco is bought shall be entered in the
book, known as form SO. but can be en-
tered simply as purchased from farmers"
stating the number of farmers. with the
distinct proviso. however, that the original
warehouse books are to contain the name
of every farmer and the number of pounds
purchased from him and the date of the
purchase, and also provides that these
warehouse books are to be kept open and
always available to the inspection of the
proper government officials. Under the
prior plan these warehouse books, covering
in many cases as many as fifty pages as
result of one days entries, had to be tran
scribed into the government book 90. The
present plan makes that unnecessary, but
practically subjects the book of the ware
houseman t. an inspection equal in detail
to the inspection of the books kept by the
government officials.
Another important change in this con-
nection, affecting the leaf dealers, Is that
where a leaf dealer makes a sale to an
other leaf dealer but holds the tobacco in
his warehouse, subject to the order of the
purchasing leaf dealer. and at his risk, the
original dealer making the sale shall enter
the same in book 80 at the time made, and
the purchasing dealer shall make a CORE
spending entry in his book so. When the
tobacco is removed from the warehouse for
shipment the aforesaid purchasing cealer to
whom it belongs shall enter in his book 80
the names and addresses of the parties to
whom shipment Is made and the district to
which the tobacco Is sent.

FEAR RENEWAL OF TROUBLE.
Police Department Requested to Send
Officers to Chesapeake Junction.

Many residents of that part of Prince
George county, Md. bordering on the Dis
trict near Chesapeake Junction and num-
Der of residents of the District in that VI
cinity are anticipating a renewal tomor-
row night Of the so-called race war" which
resulted In the injury last Sunday night of
number Of persons. Mr.. Frank Carmody,
representing the residents of that section,
called this morning at police headquarters
for the purpose of advising the police Of the
fears expressed, and to ask that policemen
enough be on hand there to prevent blood
shed.
Complaint is made by many of the white
persons in that section that hundreds of
colored men and women come there every
Sunday from the city, many of them in
dulging in disgraceful practices and making
themselves otherwise obnoxious. Mr.. Car
mody said that the dsgraceful scenes had
been witnessed by persons driving along
the county roads in that section and they
were anxious that something should be
done to put a stop to it.
Should the trouble be renewed 1t is feared
there will be more shooting INDUCED in and
somebody may be killed. A conflict, it is
feared, will result seriously. Not all of
the cases that were filed against alleged
participants in last Sundays disorder have
been disposed of in the Police Court.
1t was stated to the police this morning
that warrant had been issued In Mary
land for the arrest of Policeman Thomas,
colored, who was one of the o.Lcers sent to
Chesapeake Junction last Sunday night
when assistance was requested He had an
exciting time while participating in tie
conflict, and the police were told this
morning, one of the residents of Maryland
has since sworn out warrant for him
upon a charge of assault, the charge being
of such a nature that it will have to be
official notice of the issuance of such a
warrant has been received by the police
department, however, and it Is likely that
when such a notice is received demand
will be made for requsition before
Thomas will go to Maryland for trial.

MORGAN ON WITNESS STAND.
Testified in Case of Woman Held for
Alleged Fraud

LONDON. July 13.-J. Pierpont Morgan
appeared in the West London police court
today as a witness in the case of Mrs. Jo-
sephine Leslie. who was arrested at New
Market July 4. charged with defrauding
members of well-known families by false
pretenses and who represented herself to
be friend of Mr. Morgan. The latter re-
pudiated all knowledge of Mrs. Leslie He
said he did not write to her advising her to
join one of his syndicates and never in
vited Mrs. Leslie. as alleged, to dine at his
sons house AS a matter of fact Mr. Nor
gan added. he was in New York at the
time OF the alleged invitation.
On examination Mr.. Morgan said
he did not remember any invitation being
sent to George Easterlick. the prisoners
father. for public dinner which Mr. Nor
gan gave in New York. Mr.. Morgan was
sure that his firm had no customer Of that
name. and he said 1t was improbable that
any of his business friends would speak of
investments returning ~ per cent, which
Mrs Leslie said was to be the interest on
money invested in the alleged Morgan syn
dictate.
II do not know many Of that character"
said Mr. Morgan in conclusion.
After the plaintiff. Miss Annie Bount,
had testified briefly that she was induced
to give Mrs. Leslie $40, 500 on the strength
OF letters purporting to have been written
by Mr.. Morgan. promising huge returns,
the case was adjourned.

JUDGE PARKER SPEAKS.
An Address on Common Law at Bar
Convention

HENDERSONVILLE, N. c., July 13.-The
feature of Thursdays session of the North
Carolina State Bar Association was the an
nual address delivered by Judge Alton B.
Parker of New York, who said in the
course Of his speech:
TO me it seems clear. beyond question.
that neither In the Constitution nor in the
statutes enacted by Congress. nor in the
judgments of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, can there be found any sub
stantial support for the proposition that.
since the adoption of the Constitution, the
principles of the common law have been
wholly abrogated touching such matters as
are by that instrument placed within the
exclusive control of the national govern
ment.
Statutes are inflexible and cannot be ex-
panded by judicial decisions. Legislators
and executives, therefore, who are filled
with the desire to control and regulate men
and affairs find in a statute the ideal
method of accomplishing their wishes. The
objection to an overbundance OF leglSa-
ton by those who desire justice rather than
personal control is that the men who
draft the statutes cannot foresee the
cases that will arise which do not come
within the letter of the statute. 1t Is for
the opposite reason that the common law
is so dear to the hearts of all students of
it. 1t is flexible. 1t can be made appEca-
BILE to every new condition which may arise
and in every instance can be worked out
according to the eternal principles of JUS
tice.
Herein we find a reason for the action
on the part of those interested in the
scheme to centralize power in the federal
government. 1t their theory that so
long as Congress omitted to legisiate with
reference to interstate commerce there
was no law to protect those who were
wronged by those engaged in interstate
commerce But as we have seen, the Su-
preme Court decided that they were mis-
taken; that the common law did apply and
would continue to apply until Congress
should by legislation supersede some or any
portion of it by its statutes.
Thus it happens that in both state and
national governments, whenever there arse
controversies which are not within the pur
view of statutes. they are still governed
by law. And that law is the common law.
as to which we may with all our hearts
agree with John Adams when, in l'S'' ne
said: That the liberty, the unallenaple N
defeasible rights Of men, the honor ai,d
dignity of human nature the srahueIi' -, ~
glory of the public and the universal MY n,ip
piness of individuals were never ~ -,
