understand that he is far more humane
than were many of his predecessors,

necessary, however to take the floor In
defense Of Mr.. Hoyle.
Torture Ignored
''From my point Of view the weak
ness of the congress lay in the fact
that, while addresses full Of excellent
plans for the future were abundant the
unspeakable abuses of the present were
not handled, as they should have oeen'
absolutely without gloves. Thus the
condition of our county jails was de-
nounced most eloquently, but no names
were given. Similarly the question of
torture received no discussion, yet that
is frightful question which, thanks to
the work of such writer's as Brand

a secret meeting, at which the supJect
was said to have been under consldera-
ton; but this Is emphatically not
matter to be discussed in secret nor

CLOTHIER BEATS
WESTERN EXPERT
M'LOUGHLIN FIGHTS HARD FOR
TITLE
Winner VIII Meet Larned Today for
Singles Trophy of United States.
Playing of Californian Ex-
cites Admiration
tBy Associated Press, ]

NEWPORT, r. L, Aug 26.-By TAX
ing three out of four hard Fought sets
from Maurice Mclaughlin, the Pacific
coast champion, in the United states
national lawn tennis tournament, VIII
liam ]. Clothier of Philadelphia won the
right to play William A. Larned for the
national championship. Larned and
Clothier, who have met many times
during the last few years, will play
this most important match of the year
tomorrow. Mclaughlin, who has
startled the followers of the game by
his speedy and brilliant playing, made
a game fight today, Clothier took the
first set, to 5, and when he had cap
tured the second, 6 to 4, the match
seemed easily within his grasp.
Plays at Top Speed
But Mclaughlin showed no signs Of
encouragement. Playing at his top
game, again and again passing the
former champion on the side lines and
scoring aces on his terrific serves, he
forced the games to deuce repeatedly
and finally succeeded in getting two
games in succession and taking the
set, 11-9.
His strenuous work, however, tired
him greatly and although he made a
good start in the first part of the
fourth set he was unable to maintain
accuracy anu ll0 ulON6 lllC btbAA Odh
and into the net so often that Clothler
had no difficulty in winning the set,
6-3, and the match.
Seldom has there been more interest
in a challenge match than that of to-
morrow. Only the first American cham
pion, r. D. Sears, who retained that
position for seven years, has exceeded
Larned's record in national title holding
and only one other, r. D. Wrenn, has
equaled it.
If Larned wins tomorrow, he will en-
ter on his fifth year as champion,
having won the title in 1901 from M. D..
Whitman, successfully defended 1t in
1902 against r. r. Doherty, won again
in 1907 through the default of Clothier
and maintained it last year against
Beals C. Wright. Larned had to play
through the tournament last year and
he secured the old cup by his third
winning of the championship in 1907. A
victory tomorrow would give him two
legs on the new cup.

TALL, LONG-LEGGED MEN
MAKE BEST HURDUERS

Spot sages say that the best type
of athlete for both the 12O and go
yard hurdles is the tall. long-legged
type The short hurdler has difficulty
hurdles. The tall hurdler must short
en- up if anything. In the high hurdle
he can make three swift cat-like steps
and be off over the next hurdle. The
fact that he must shorten his stride
also pay all his attention to getting
over the hurdle, while it is, of course,
less exhausting than if he were COM
PEELED to lengthen out his stride. The
same remarks hold for the low hurdle.
1t is even more important in this race,
for it is much easier for the long
legged athlete to develop the best form
in this event The shOrt-legged hurd-
Ter is practically physically incapable
of taking the hurdle in his stride. He
NAV do so, but there will always be
a glide through the air instead OF
| the short snappy way in which the
taller athlete gets over the hurdle.
But though it is a disadvantage to
be short for these events, the short
athlete should not despair, as he may
make up in speed and agility what he
lacks in natural advantages. Still, it
looks more than a coincidence that

THE HAT LINE. :
No Man Need Go Bareheaded :
Different as to Women. I


Similar somewhat to the bread line
but not receiving so much attention is
the hat line. 1t forms outside of the
hat stores on certain days in the
week and the men in the line get
their pick of the old hats left by GUS
toners.
The hat line is really as old an
institution as the bread line though
it isn't as long because people don't
need ATS as often as they need bread.
Most Of the hat stores have regular
times for swing away old hats. One
large hat store uptown. for instance,
has fixed on Monday mornings for
doing this.
The line forms when the store opens
at O'Clock, and the men can pick
their size and the style they want
from: a pile of old mats placed near
the door Sometimes the line IS
small, but at other times there are a
dozen or more men.
There is really no reason why a
man should ever go without a hat,
no matter how poor he is" said hat
salesman mine out of ten men
when they buy a new derby leave
their Did nat.
1T isn't the case with the soft hats
so mach because they come in handy
for knocking around in long after
they have ceased to do for business.
Most Of the hats left with us are
tlerbieS and | suppose lot of folks
think tia; we have some way of
making money out of them. AS a
matter of fact, the only thing we do
with them is to throw them away.
or give them away, because an old
derby isn't good for anything else.
Perhaps you've never had occasion
to notice it, but you'll find that even
t.e worst panhandler generally has
p del by on. and it isn't a bad hat at
that It's the same with thousands
Of men WHO belong to the class that
is close to destruction They wear
,icrhies that look pretty grimy some
times but they're generally whole, and
with a little brushing they wouldn't
took bad at ALL
Those are the hats left in your
hat stores. There are years of good
wear in them. and they go to cover
the heads of the men in the hat line.
Spring and fall are the times when
the hat line is the biggest, because
then most men buy new hats. We
give away hundreds of hats at this
season, and the supply is so large
that the applicants can really be quite
finicky.
Not all of the men in our hat line
are buns by any means. There are
thousands of men in this city who
never buy hat, men who are just
able to keep the family fed and root
over their heads. Where do they get
the mats they wear? Take a look at
our hat line some morning and you'll
see; and they're not ashamed of It,
either
1--WE see the same faces many times
about this time of year, because men
get in the habit of going to the same
place for their old hats just as you
do for your new hat and we keep
them supplied
No. the hat line isn't perhaps as
large as the bread line. and it ism!
quite so pathetic. but it's interesting,
just the same. and it solves for us
problem. The women aren't so for
