Mixed Doubles Exciting


in the opening set of mixed doubles,
in which Miss Hotchkiss made her first
appearance on a Long Beach court.
Her partner was M. e. Mclaughlin,
and against them were arrayed Miss
Coda Myer and Nat Browne. The
latter made a spirited fight against the
skillful northerners.
The first set went to deuce and fin
ally was won by Miss Myer and
Browne. Miss Hotchkiss has a style
much similar to that Of the Suttons,
playing a hard game. Her serves were
strong and she cut the ball cleverly
from side to side of the court. Nc
Loughlin played a smashing game, but
those who have watched both players
in previous contests would not admit
either played as good game as might
be expected from them.
The second set was not so even, and
Miss Hotchkiss and Mclaughlin rushed
1t through, winning by score of 6-1,
The third set was similar, and was
won 63. Miss Myer, who ranks in
northern tennis as runner-up to Miss
Hotchkiss, played a clever game
throughout the match. Browne played
a careful, consistent game, frequently
returning drives low over the net for
points.
Another feature of the day was the
match in which Melville Long won from
J. q. Holmes. Long has borne coast
championship honors in singles and is
admittedly one of the most dangerous
of rivals in this game. While he de-
feated Holmes in straight sets, GA, 6-2,
the southern man played fine game,
occasionally getting one over on Mel.
Longs chopping of the ball to the
edges and corners of the court took
the crowd off it's feet. Long plays in
pretty form and essays either a driv-
ing game or one of slower gait. Long
followed this match with a defeat of
C. P. r. Palmer, Go, 6-1. Long will
remain throughout the tournament and
is expected to meet Bundy for the
championship.

cup, and Duncan played a doubles

against George Sunberg of North Da-
kota and r. w Muir of Minneapolis
The Californians won straight sets,
60, 60.
McLoughlin's defeat of NJ. C. Cheney

not resumed until 5 o'clock. Simpson
Sinsabaugh said tonight that Mondays
games would not be mapped out before
tomorrow, owing partly to the number
Of defaults.
Monday morning, however, it is eX-
pected that Miss May Sutton and Mrs.
b. O. Bruce will meet in semi-tinals in
ladies' singles, while Miss Florence
Sutton will try to retrieve the laurels
she lost to Miss Hotchkiss at Coronado.

Treasure Trove.

Treasure trove is the name given to
coin, gold or silver plate or bullion
found hidden in the earth or other pri-
vate place, the owner being unknown.
According to the Roman law, such
treasure, if found by man on his
own land, belonged to the finder, but
if found on the land of another. was
divided between the finder and the
landowner. In England treasure trove
belongs to the crown, and concealment
by the finder is an indictable offense,
punishable by fine and Imprisonment.
If, however, the treasure is not ac-
tually covered by earth it belongs to
the finder. In the United States treas
ure trove usually belongs to the per-
son finding it.-New York American.

Anent our remarks on the ad.
visibility Of having a state educa-
tional board of control, in which
proposal the university should be
included, the st. Peter Press says:
when the state board of control
was first established, it was believed
that aside from other state institu-
tions 1t would also be in charge of
the state university, for at that time
there existed strong suspicion that
the business end of the institution has
been sadly neglected. But the board
of regents, backed up by ths professors
and business men of Minneapolis,
most vigorously protested against the
proposed change. A sort of a com
promise was finally agreed upon,
under which the institution is now
being operated.
AS to the suggestion of the Herald
to create a business board of control
for all state educational institutions it
must be conceded that it is deserving
the serious consideration of the next
legislature. Under present conditions
every institution has it own arbitrary
way of doing busine7s. Millions of
the taxpayers money IS expended
annually in way that would never
be tolerated by an up date business
man in his own business. Surely we
need a business board of control, and
it cannot be created any too soon.''

SP|TzER ON THE STAND
Government Plays Trump Card
in Sugar Fraud Case

New York, May 24.-The trump card
In the prosecution of Charles R. Heike,
secretary of the American Sugar Re-
flning company, was played at the
opening Of the sugar trust underweigh-
ing conspiracy trial when Prosecutor
Stimson called as the governments
first witness Oliver Splitter, superin-
tendent of the Williamsburg docks,
who some months ago was convicted
Of underweighing and sentenced to
two years in the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta.
When Splitter took the stand John
B. Stanchfield, for the defense, con-
tended that under the federal statute
Splitter, as convicted man, could not
testify.
The sensation of the trial was then
created by the declaration in court
that Splitter had been pardoned by
President Taft.
The testimony of Splitter was sensa.
tlonal in many respects. He described
in greater detail than the story had
been related how the government was
cheated out of millions of dollars by
weighing frauds and he told of some
devices for this purpose that had not
been mentioned by witnesses in any of
the pfs--!!eus trials.

Havana, May 20.-Two almost ST.

LIABILITIES ARE HEAVY
Firm Of Grain Merchants In
Hands Of Creditors.

Albany, N. Y, May 24.-The firm Of
Durent C Elmore, grain merchants
with Offices in Albany, Chicago, Buf-
falo and Boston, is practically in the
hands of the officials of the National
Commercial and First National banks
Of this city, who are it's creditors to
the extent of nearly 100000.
By the alleged manipulation Of bills
of lading the company, through it's
treasurer, Gibson Oliver, who had
charge of the Albany Office, is alleged
to have been able to borrow hundreds
of thousands of dollars from banks in
Albany and other cities. The total
amount involved has not been ascer-
tained. It is understood, however,
that the firm has outstanding paper
aggregating between $500,000 and
100000, but just what proportion Of
it is secured probably will not be
known for several days.

Lately all the pulplts of the land
have rung with the story of
tuberculosis, the white Plague,' and
the we)l-meaning clergymen of all
denominations are giving their power.
full aid to the movement for the
eradication Of tuberculosis. And while
a great deal of good advice is being
given on how to prevent the ravages
OF the scourge, and while the
economic loss IS spoken of, rarely is
it pointed out that the cause in many
cases, some claim in most cases. rests
upon industrial exploitation. We saw
that light and air at least are not
subject to monopoly and vet our
crowded cities show that heavy price
is paid for those two great gifts of
tho Creator to all bis children. With
the cost of living, as expressed in
rents and the necessaries of l1fe-very
high-and wages do not meet it, for
economical reasons the wage Garner
must. crowd together in poorly
ventilated, damp, dark habitations,
erected by PERMISSION of the
municipality, where Sunshine and and
pure air, the greatest enemies of
tuberculosis, rarely enter. Most cases
come from the great cities. The
immature child, forced to lahor
instead of going to school, with a
stunted frame and lowered vitality. IS
fertile ground for the disease. The
young man and young woman en-
ployed under unsanitary conditions,
are easily susceptiable to a disease
whose greatest ravages are among
the young men and women. When
we make industrial and social con.
ditions better, we shall have lessened
tuberculosis. All the good advice is
of little avail until we remove the
breeding grounds of the disease, and
the incentive to the conditions which
made it possible.

A French phrase best expresses the
conditions Of the Taft administration.
It is bankrupt. First one thing goes
wrong, then another. Into one bog,
then another. Every way one turns,
there is darkness instead of light.
Incapacity relgns triumphant. The
BalIipger mess was bad enough. and
now it is worse than ever. The
president OF the United States admits
that he allowed Ballinger to prepare
his own vindication admits that he
ordered Wickersham to change dates.
A feeling OF disgust IS sweeping over
the country. Poor Taft. His path
way has more of thorns than roses.
Not because he doesn't want to do
right, but because his past and
present environment weighs on him
and prevents his understanding the
desires and needs Of the people.

Springfield Republican Chairman
Payne performs a customary amount
OF arttul lodging in his defense of the
new tariff law. The high prices
which people are complaining of are
caused by the large ana cheapened
gold production, but the prosperity
which the cou:try enjoys is caused
by the tariff. So he says. his precise
words being that the new law has
brought prosperity to the farmer, the
factory, the merchant, etc. And he
speaks especially of the high prices
prevailing for farm products and Of
the farm prosperity which evidently is
regarded as result of the high prices.
1t would seem, therefore, that in
creased gold production had brought
the prosperity, and not the tariff. But
no. Chairman Payne's contention
evidently is that gold is responsible
for the high prices IN so far as people
complain of them, and that the
tariff is responsible for the high
prices in so tar as they produce
prosperity. See?

Springfield Republican: No one
has deemed it worth while, thus far,
to point out that the speeches of
Senators Dolliver and Cummins at
Des Moines early this week could have
been relied into one and passed off
as an address by Mr.. Bryan some
years ago criticising the republican
party. How very like the Bryan of
almost any year between 1896 and
1908 was Senator Cummlns' assertion
that the present leaders of the re-
pullcan party are in league with the
corporations and have ''scant time to
consider the needs and desires of the
great mass of humanity" When
Senator Deliver used the word
''pirates' to describe the same
leaders, he reminded one OF Mr.. Bryan
In his campaign against all the arts
and the money of Mark Hanna. The
republican insurgents of this type
ought now to be ready to concede that
MIR. Bryan was accurate in his claim,
in 1908, that the Roosevelt policies
would be safer in his care than In
Mr.. Taft's.

Red Wing Free Press: The state
of Minnesota handles its lands in
the same manner that Elder Stewart
of Minneapolis handled his real estate
holdings-lets them lie idle and un-
improved waiting for others to come
along and increase their value by
improving the surroundings. It is a
nlggardly way to do business at best.
The state ought to do something
itself towards improving the value of
its holdings, or give them to some
body willing to do so. In the case of
Elder Stewart. he at least had to pay
taxes in proportion to the increased
values. The state makes those who
do all the Improvements and create
all the values pay all the taxes be-
sides. Which is not only nlggardly
but rankly unjust.
