during his talk Frank Beers, father of the
man alleged to have been murdered, COW

out the awful scene of the crime as pic

Walker show that he was affected by the
remarks of the district attorney. That
was when counsel for the state was de-
filming the difference between murder in
the first and second degree and involun-
tary and voluntary manslaughter. In do
ing this he cited what might be the case

 Match.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 21.-The first and second rounds in the all-comers tournament in the National Lawn Ten his championship were completed to- day with the exception of two contests, which were interrupted late this aft ernon by rain The two days play in the tournament have neither done so much to change the complexion of the championship meeting. The default of Beals Wright and R. D. Little to-day, and the defeat of Karl Behr yesterday, has taken out three of the strongest contenders, and with Clothier suffering with a lame knee, the chances of Lar ned's winning the event and permanent possession of the cup are considered very good. The best match to-day was between Irving c. Wright and F. c. Colston. Wright played very clever game, and out of position He won many place shots, mostly on short balls over the net, and also scored on clever lobbing. His own Jobs were nearly perfect. With the score two sets to one, Colston made the fourth set five games to three, when Wright rallied and even tually won, 8 to 6, which gave him the match.

 ferring the rate-making power on the interstate commerce commission.
 Tt was to that proposition I was unalterably opposed.
 'The objection to conferring the rate making power upon the interstate commerce commission is not, in my opinion, answered by Secretary Taft.
 ''TIe makes no answer to the sugges- ton that the three powers of govern nent. the legislative, the executive and the judicial are all conferred on the commission, and that this communing of the powers is unprecedented and in violation of both the spirit and the letter of the constitution.
 T have contended that so far as I have yet been informed, there has been no lowering of rates since the Hep burn law was passed whereby the shippers of Ohio have been benefited, $ except only such as would have been made in all probability if the Hep burn law had never been passed. On the contrary, since the Hepburn rate law was passed the majority of their rates have been advanced. Very few, if any, have been lowered.
 ''The purpose of the Elkins law was to give the shippers of the country a speedy remedy against rebates and dis oriminations of every kind and char acter and to absolutely break up and destroy such practices.
 "There was much doubt expressed in the senate committee as to the wis dom of following the recommendation of the interstate commerce commits sione rs to repeal the Imprisonment clause.
 "At any rate, after nearly twenty years of experience, there was no case of successful prosecution for any off, fense punishable by Imprisonment and there had been no case of imprison- ment. The law was in that particu- lar a dead letter. All these gave req son enough for the change.
 'Tnasmuch as the secretary enter tains the views he so expresses as to the difficulty of convictions in such cases and inasmuch as the interstate commerce commissioners for precisely the same reason given by the secre- tary. recommended the abolition of punishment by Imprisonment as part of the Elkins law, the charge of the secretary, made by implication at least that the Elkins law, especially in the matter of abolishing imprisonment, was a railroad measure, is without the slightest excuse or justification.
 Nobody has ever claimed that the Fllxins law was perfect. But while he aeeks to disparage the Hlkins law, vel
