stephen was asking himself tina
question now. He had not come upor
the tragedy until some ten minute,
after It had taken place. It was thu
sound Of the distant shot, which the
wind brought to his ears as he stood
at the door Of the rectory that had
made him run instinctively In the di
rection whence the shot had proceed
ed. Finally he had come upon the
tragedy-Olive bending over the dead
man, clutching the revolver that

I Philip Hume?
That had been his instant natural
assumption. He had remembered her
Wild threats. her fierce, passionate
words. as she told him In the vestry
OF the church how irreparably this
man had wronged her. That and the
fact that she had stolen out, iii as she
was, and had gone In the direction OF
Hume's house all pointed to one thing.
He had assumed that the revolver was
hers. that she had brought 1t with her
when she came to Wildfell--that 1t
could have belonged to any one else
had never once entered his thoughts.
How blind he had been, how ready to
assume that she was guilty?
Whilst these thoughts anshed
through his mind, Thornton wss
speaking to the inspector.
What Is this thing DOING at the
bottom Of the river? Bonholt Hume

Freddy was saying, with signifi-
canoe of tone. Aud it's OF the same
caliber as Lathom's revolver; takes
the same cartridge. II was because
the bullet that killed Hume fitted
Lathom's revolver that caused the
to commit him for trial.
Well, here's another revolver that
would take the same cartridge--you

JACK JOHNSON NOT
COMING BACK TO
AMERICA
He Marries White BARNARD
and Buys Fine Residence
In England
[Stecial Dispatch 10 The Call

lOfccidt Dispatch 10 ne Call
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23.-"Jack johnson,
worlds heavy weight champion, has no
intention of returning to the United
States" said Tom Cahill, the ST. Louis
football promoter, today on his return
from England. where he went to sign
an English team for a trip TO this
country.
johnson has already ordered the
purchase of fine residence near Lon
don and will live IN this when he re-
turns to England for his fight with
Langford," continued Cahill.
Even more convincing that John
son has no intention OF returning to
this country is the fact that he has
married an English white barmaid.
Only last week Johnson'S wife in this
country had her suit against him for
nonsupport in court. This case was set
for trial before Johnson went to Eng
land and when he failed to show up his
wife asked that he be declared a fuSi-
tive. This will undoubtedly be carried
into effect if he does not show UP the
next time the case comes up. The fact
that ne has married another woman
without getting a divorce from his
American wife would make a serious
case for him.
"Johnsons victory was popular one
in England, where the color line is not
drawn and where Johnson spends free

intercollegiate Conference
Does Nothing New

The most peaceful intercollegiate
conference meeting that has ever been
held by California and Stanford took
place last night at the Hotel st. Fran
els, with A. e. Roth, Richard Barrett
and George Presley representing the
cardinal and Ralph P. Merritt. Everett
C. Brown and Fred Single the blue

The matter OF intercollegiate basket
ball was discussed, and though the
sport was not added to the official list
1t was decided I ohold a series OF
games between the two colleges the
coming season.
Freshman athletics were discussed at
the request of the Stanford delegates
who were under the impression that
specials could participate in intercolle-
giate contests, but the California dele
cation proved that their freshmen were
required to take the requisite 10 full
hours work This Is the last year of
the four year agreement adopted in
1905, so that next year an entirely new
one will have to be adopted.

RANKING OF BEST
TEN PLAYERS
A JOKE
Pacific States Tennis AssOcia-
ton M axes Bad Mess of
Selections
By Grant Smith

Rumors af1oat during the week to
the effect that ranking of the 10
best tennis players in the state had
been made have been confirmed, and as
was expected, the usual howl has re-
suited. Naturally some of those ranked
are dissatisfied with the ranking they
received, while still others, whose
names were left off the roll of honor,
feel that they have just as much right
to be there as a number of the favored
few. Still others, who have no kick
coming for the reasons just mentioned,
are complaining because of the fact
that few OF the delegates to the Pa
cifc States lawn tennis association got
together and made the ranking at a
special meeting.
The delegates certainly exceeded
their powers when they assigned to
themselves the task of making an off,
cial ranking for 1.-The Guide" of the
10 best players for 1908. They are en-
powered only to appoint committee
meeting the few present decided that
they were better qualified than any
body else to make such ranking.
Prompted by modesty or a desire to
avoid the trouble sure to follow on the
heels of such thankless job the self
appointed committee, composed entire
~ of delegates, ask thai. their names
be withheld from publication.
The official ranking. which will be-
come part of tennis history, Is as fol-
lows. No. i, Melville Long; No. 2.
George James No s, Charles Foley No.

Sinsabaugh. This Santa Barbara event
with the coast championship tourna-
ment was the only one held during
the year that brought all of the best
players of the state together and
should be given more consideration in
making a ranking than any other event
outside of the coast championship.
The ranking was made on the show
ing of the various players in the tour
naments held last year and on nothing
else and how the we'll posted delegates
could so far miss the mark during the
second five is hard to understand

SLATE GOES THROUGH.
Penrose Influence Shown in Ticket
and Platform at Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 16.-The Re-
publican state convention met here
today and nominated the following
ticket to be voted for in November:
Auditor general-Arthur E. Sisson,
Erie.
State treasurer-Former State SEN
ator jeremiah A. Stober, Lancaster.
Associate justice of the supreme
court-Judge Robert Won Moschzis-
ker, Philadelphia.
The candidates named were slated
by the state organization of which
United States Senator Penrose is the
head. Much interest was taken in the
tariff section of the platform because
of General Penrose's prominence in
the senate committee on finance.
which has charge of the tariff bill
pending in the senate and because of
the belief that the Pennsylvania plat
form would reflect the attitude of the
majority of the Republicans in the
senate.
The platform in part says: 1.-The
Republicans of Pennsylvania embrace
this first opportunity to give renewed
expression to the confidence which
they so emphatically expressed at the
polls last November in the patriotism.
the ability, wisdom and fairness of
William H Taft. His administration,
so auspiciously commenced by the Sc
lection of Pennsylvania distinguished
L
premier will we are confident be no
table for the permanent betterment
of our domestic and closer and more
amicable understandings in our for
eign relations. President Taft's pro-
found knowledge of the science of
government, his deep human SYM
pathy, his love of justice and appre-
ciation of the real needs of a prosper
Gus and progressive people viii en-
able him to carry forward in his own
way the great policies of the Roose-
Welt administration with which he
was conspicuously identified and 1t
may well be expected that under his
wise leadership those policies will be
developed and such additional ones
adopted as will make real and effec-
tive the American demand for the
equality of right and opportunity at
home and that respect and those priv
-iIeges abroad which are accorded to
the most favored nation.
I'VE stand as we have always stood,
for the policy of projections to Ameri-
can labor and American. Industry The
Republican party is fulfilling its
promise to revise the tariff and we be-
lieye that such revision should be a
true revision and not an attempt to
merely put rates up or down. Re
vision should make reductions in
rates when they can be wisely made,
advances when they are absolutely
needed to protect an industry i'm
provident in c1asSifications, and hnai-
" provision for new arts and pro-
since 1897. The position taken by
the Republican senators and repre-
sentatives from Pennsylvania and
their diligent and effective work IN
the task Of revision of the tariff meet
our most corria1 approval"
