he has been a challenger for the Ma

the Davis cup team. Larned for 20 years
has been one of the most important
figures in American lawn tennis history
For six times he has ranked first and
he has been second and third five years

The Court Refuses to Grant a Divorce
to the Loves.

Baker, Ore, Sept. A decision has
been handed down by Judge Smith of
the circuit court in the divorce suit OF
Sidney G. Love against his wife, Mar
jorie Burnes Love. The decision finds
the plaintiff is not entitled to the de
cree of divorce, neither is Mrs. Love
entitled to legal separation from her
husband. The Loves were married in
Chicago.
Mrs. Love was Marjorie Burnes of

Salina, Kan, Sept 4-If the way
to mans heart is through his stom-

to whether she really has won his
heart? Questions Of this nature may
be asked and answered in the suit in
which Miss Alice Bowes. a waitress, is
suing n. w. sly, a railroad claim ad-
juster, for $4,000 for alleged breach
of promise to marry.
The case, which has been tried here
before, is keeping the court room
crowded each day. But Sly's defense
probably will be the most interesting
feature of the trial.
Sly worked his way up to his present

HARD YEAR FOR ACTORS
Many Are Finding It Difficult to OBJ
tain Employment.

New York, Sept. 4.-That the theatri-
cal season of 1911 u is to be "hard
times for stage folk IS the assertion of
iany actors here, who complain that
the difficulty of obtaining employment
this year is greater than it has been
for decade. There are today many
we'll known actors idle at what is us
ually the most active period-actors
whose services nave been in demand
ar who have seldom been without en-
gagements. Others who have signed
contracts and are awaiting delayed re-
hearsals, are in the same situation as
those without engagements.
The engagement agencies bear out the
complaints of the actors. Their Offices
are Cverrun with applicants
The cause seems to be the tendency
on the part of producing managers
this year to hold back on the pro-
duction of new plays until they nave
been able to feel the trend of theatre
cal business. Managers who hereto
fore have had a half dozen new plays
before the public, in the course of
preparation by this time, are postponing
their productions this year.

COUNCIL ADOPTS
TAX AMENDMENT
Victory Comes Only After
Discussion Lasting Nearly
Three Hours.
WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.
ALEXANDRIA,, VA, MARCH /.

After a discussion lasting nearly three
hours, the city council last evening, by
a vote of 10 to G. adopted Council
man Leadbeater's amendment to the
tax law providing for an assessment Of
Sl.75 flat on the 500, with a penalty at
the rate of per cent per annum for
non-payment, after July l.
There is no discount for prompt pay
ment. The present rate is $l.90 on tie
500 with per cent discount If paid
before due. 1t is calculated that under
this new rate, a taxpayer will sac
but 36 cents on the $1,000, and in view
of the increased State taxes, the pay
ment will really prove an increase to
the propertyowner, rather than a de-
crease.
Councilman Smiths substitute for the
amendment provided that the rate be
S165 fat, with a penalty of 5 per cent
If not paid promptly, but this was lost
by a vote of 10 to 2, and Leadbeater's s
amendment accepted.
1t was expected that some warm de-
bates would devolve upon this much
mooted question, and expectations n
this direction were fully realized. for
nearly every member of the body pres

views at some length, precipitatins
