day and prior to his FIVE set match with
Long, James had played 81 games many
OF which were close and hOtly con-
tested After all this work and after
losing the first two sets to Long, he
still had enough strength left to go in
and win the next three sets.
The winners OF the various events
were as follows;
Mems singles, George James: mems
doubles. George James and Maurice Nc
Loughlin; WOmen'S singles, Mrs Bruce.
womens doubles. Miss May sutton and
Miss Browne; mixed doubles, Mrs.
Bruce and Thomas Bundy; junior
singles Robert Strachan.
While the coast championship tour
naments are still more than month
on. the enthusiasts are beginning TO
discuss the chances of the various can
dtdates for championship honOrs. The
contestants will be. in the main. about
the same as last year l.. r. Freeman
and A. r. Bell, who have twice won
the coast championship in doubles and
are the only names twice engraved on
the cup. will enter the doubles tOurnsL--i
ment with the idea OF winning the
trophies for the third and last time.

also a victim of the combination of cir

of Bundy. StrachanS s improvement was
really marvellous, as he had done moth

junior championship of the coast last

next month will be closely watched.

James won both singles and doubles

was as much of surprise as the show =

Forty Feet.

Springfield, Hl.-The Illinois Cen
trails Diamond Special passenger
train, which left Chicago at 10
O'Clock Friday night for st. Louis,
plunged into a ditch 40 feet below,
three miles southeast of this city at 4
o'clock Saturday morning.
Engineer Homer Davis of Clinton
and his fireman remained at their post
and came through the experience with
out a scratch, although the engine
rolled completely over, to the bottom
of the ditch. Three cars followed, the
baggage, express and buffet.
The first two had a single occupant
each, but beyond a few bruises they
were not injured
The buffet car was empty. The
four rear coaches, carrying the passen-
gers, remained on the track. The oc-
cupants were shaken up, but no one
was hurt. These were pulled back
into Springfield and sent on to st.
Louis over the Chicago G. Alton tracks.
A crowbar found near the scene of
the wreck indicates that the spikes
had been pulled for the purpose of

shot and killed Harlan Hedges, a
prominent farmer, seven miles north
west of this place.

riders in the Blue Grass region of
Kentucky.
Hedges was awakened by shouts
shortly before 2 o'clock. Apprehend-

with a shotgun and fired once. Tho
night riders replied with a volley,
which killed Hedges just as his wife
reached his side.

MINE WORKERS ADOPT SCALE
COMMITTEES REPORT.
OPERATORS READY TO SIGN
Mitchell Plan MISUNDERSTANDING to
Force Central District
Scale.

Indianapolis. Ind.-With a few
changes, the International conven-
ton of mine workers Thursday
adopted its scale committees report.
Briefly stated, the policy is that the
separate districts may adopt wage con-
tracts with their operators; that such
contracts shall be for one year, and
that the scale shall provide for mot
less than the present wage rates"
Section l, providing that the South
western district miners may meet
their operators at once and settle upon
a scale, was adopted. This settles all
questions of strike in the Southwest,
as the operators there are ready to
sign a scale.
The report favors settlement with
the operators by districts which will
mean that the Indiana operators will
sign at once, and, of course, other
states are also expected to sign. The
miners demand the continuance of the
present wage scale.
