AMATEUR COURT
 TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW YORK, April 7-Interest of lovers of tennis is now centered in the annual tournament for the anna teur court tennis championship of America, which opened today at the Racquet and Tennis club in this city and will continue through the greater part of the week. The tournament is exciting more than ordinary interest because Eustane H. Miles of London, former champion of Great Britain, is to try and regain his lost laurels. The holder of the title is Jay Gould. Sev. eral months ago Gould announced that because of his college work he would be unable to defend the title which he wrested from Miles a year ago, but subsequently, changed his mind. In coming here it is believed that the Englishman is prompted more by desire to turn the tables on Gould than by any special longing to regain the title, which he has held on so many occasions.
 According to the rules governing the tournament the holder of the championship shall not play, but shall defend his title if challenged by the winner. Court tennis men are in. clined to pick Miles to go right through the tournament, thereby earning the right to challenge Could. IT this forecast proves correct the match between Gould and Miles will be played on the second day succeed ing the final in the tournament un- less otherwise ordered by the com mittee.

AN ANTI.SP|TTING
 ORDINANCE WANTED
Women of Douglas Petition City Council for Such
 an Ordinance.

Two important items of business transacted at the meeting of Douglas uouncil Monday were the ordering that the city ordinances be printed and the massage of an ordinance regulat- ing the issue of licenses to do business in the city. Mayor Adamson was not present and Alderman Prickett occu- pied the mayors chair.
 In regard to the request from num- Der of ladies of Douglas for an ordi- nance prohibiting splitting on the side walk, the city council on consulting with the city attorney found that their hands were tied against passing this the passage of a curfew ordinance, by the fact that the present charter does not permit it by not providing for it.
 Dr. Green stated that the bids for the new retention hospital had been opened yesterday by the board of su pervisors, but owing to their being busy with other work they were not able to award the contract and he thought that it would be done today
 Chairman c. D. Parsons of the com mittee, to whom was submitted the proposed ordinance regulating the safety in the theaters and public build ings of the city, said that the commit, tee had not yet completed their work with it and asked for more time, which was granted.
 The city engineer was appointed a committee of one to visit the Douglas public school buildings and see that in every way they are absolutely safe in the case of fire.
 An application was received from Steve Thompson of this city for DO sition on the local fire force. MT Thompson states in his application that be is feet 1 inch in stature weighs 225 pounds and was formerly on the police force of/New York City The application was filed.

 >The following, with the exception of few who did not care to be quoted were among those seen:
 P. c. McMullen: Fine; I am heart fly in favor of it.
 Avery Curry: I am willing if the rest are to close any afternoon agreed upon.
 H. S. Kenyon: I will close if the others do.

 H. B. Calisher: think 1t is good idea and the business men should be willing to do 1t.
 J. c. Erickson: I certainly am in favor of it. In Kansas City Saturday afternoon is a half holiday, and 1t Is in a farming community, and if they can stand it there. they surely could here. They won't loose any business by it.

HALF HOLIDAY IS

Sentiment Is BeiEg Aroused For It at Douglas According
 to Recent Interviews.

The editorial in the Dispatch Sun day favoring a half holiday some day in the week during the summer months, the same as many of the large cities are doing, expressed the senti, ments of the leading business men oi Douglas.
 That the employees generally are heartily in favor of it, goes without saying.
 Some of the business men favor Saturday afternoon. but the most oi them think Wednesday or Thursday afternoon would be more satisfactory.
 It would give everybody, proprietors and employees, a chance to take life a little easier during the hot weather and every store would do just as much business in the long run.
