Joseph Fairbanks entered the Craw-
ford tennis tournament last week and
was defeated in the third round by
Arthur A. Sweetser of Boston, the win
ner of the Wentworth cup the week
before. Mr.. Fairbanks played in the
doubles with his friend, Thomas Hooker,
Jr., of New Haven Conn, and they were
defeated in the second round. Of this
match the correspondent of the Boston
Globe said: "The match in which Plimp-
ton and Bradford of Boston beat Fair
banks and Hooker was perhaps the best
worth seeing. The deciding set was
ended only after "a games were played. T"
The tournament was won by Semp Russ,
the Vermont champion, who defeated
Sweetser in a splendidly contested
match. The championship doubles were
won by Russ and Cresson.
Arthur G. Sprague and E. M. Taft par
ticipated in the golf tournament at the

Believed To Have Changed On DAssOiu-
 tion Of DOuma.
 St. Petersburg. June 6.-In view of the prevalent reports that Premier Stolypin had abandoned his defense of parliament and that it's dissolution was imminent. an article in The Novoe Vremya today. signed by the prem ier's brother and opposing such step. attracted general attention. He said that while the douma undoubtedly is revolutionary and burdened with many sins, the possibility of its becoming a healthy establishment of the state Is not excluded from the question of its dissolution.
 The promulgation by parliament of the new election law in violation Of the fundamental laws or constitution is considered likely to result in an other crisis similar to the one through which Russia has just passed.
 Diplomats and political circles still believe the days of parliament are numbered, and the reports from in- ner circles of the government that M. Stolypin's attitude has changed, con tinue in most positive form.
 President Golovin last night appeared before the committee of the lower house which Is considering the law relating to the inviolability of depu- ties from arrest and demanded quicker work saying that the Emperor had blamed parliament for Its dilatoriness and adding that the law must be ready for consideration next week.

 He is today a successful business man. though three eminent physicians told him he could not live.
