NEARBY CITIES ~

Tennis LEAGis'' e..
80, :, - ..,...,...g gia
SUCH A PLAN NOW SUGGESTED
NGighbOring Cities Asked to
Participate

Since such marked interest was
shown in the tennis tournament held
here last fall, the suggestion has been
made by Secretary Dunn, g. tnfe T.
M. C. A., thatac tournament be CON
Quoted in which all the nearby cities
shall be invited to take part.
Though the interest in tennis is not
as strong here as it should be in or
der to support a team of the fastest
players, it is nevertheless true that
the most effective way to arouse and
promote interest in the work is to or
ganize the local players into a tour
nament first of all and then endeavor
to secure the cooperation of the near
by cities in the conduct of an inter
city tournament, which should prove
greatly interesting to the cities that
take part in it.
Wheeler the plan for the inter-city
tournament materializes or not, it is
the purpose of Secretary Dunn to keep
alive the interest in tennis locally,
which has already been so clearly
shown. so that when the spring opens
up another tournament will be organ
lied to occur on the local Y M. c. A.
court. 1t should be an easy matter n
enlist the names of large number oe
players here as great many became
enthusiasts after the tournament held
here last fall in which both young
man and boys took part Many of the
boys who commenced playing tennis
as recult of the last tournament will
soon develop into unusually good play
ers, thereby furnishing recruits for
the main ranks of local tennis players
who NAV be called upon to compete in
any inter-city meet. rs=rssP
Columbus. Dawson, Albany. Thomas
vile, Moultrie and other cities have
been mentioned as possible members
of the inter-city league, if it should
be organized 1t is believed that much
interest can be aroused in the plan
that has been suggested, and that a
number of the cities mentioned, If not
all OF them, may become Interested In
the movement sufficiently to make pos
sible the organization of league to
take part in tournament in the
spring. Secretary Dunn will maintain
interest in the matter of tennis here
and will also endeavor to perfect th9
organization of the league, if such q
thing can be accomplished.

ARE We TO HAVE The
truth ABOUT MORSE?
More Investigation Are Now
Under Way

Atlanta, January 2.-Stung by crit
icisms and newspaper articles charg-
ing that he had treatel Charles w.
Morse with unnecessary severity at
the fedepal prison here, Warden Will
liam H. Meyer has decided to invite
feading newspaper men of this city to
the prison in a body, to inspect the
original records in the Morse case.
Warden Meyer says that the highly
colored stories manufactured by
friends of Morse and sent out with the
OBJECT of exciting pity so far overshot
their mark that they failed in their at
tempt.
IF the truth and the whole truth
hurts Morse now he can have only his
friends to blame" says Mr.. Meyer.
Among the sensational stories deal
ing with Morse's life at the federal
prison was one telling how Morse was
confined in a solitary cell on bread
and water for a trifiing infraction of
the prison rules, and how it injured
Ais health. Mr.. Meyer proposes today
to show the newspaper men the very
Solitayr cell in which Morse was
confined for few hours. He will al
so show them that it was thoroughly
and that not even a sick
mans health could have been in any
way harmed by a sojourn there.
His statement this afternoon. it is
may also show that Morse
wasn't nearly as i'll as some newspa-
pers tried to make it appear at GER
tain times during his Imprisonment.
Warden Meyer feels that he has
been outrageously clandered, without
any cause watever, by people who
have wanted to paint him as a mon
ster merely in order to excite SYM
pathy for Morse.

GREATER AID
FROM COUNTY
FOR HOSPITAL
DONATION NEARLY DOUBLED
5000 Per Year For Hospital
From the County

At the request of the members of
the Americus Hospital Association the
county commissioners of Sumter coun-
| ty yesterday agreed to increase the
annual appropriation made by the
county to the hospital from $500 to
5000 per year.
This worthy decision on the part OF
the commissioners affords great pleas
ure and qualification to every friend
of the hospital in Americus, for with
this increased appropriation the man
agement of the hospital may not only
provide more easily for the mainte-
nance of that institution, but also pave
the way. for the support of larger
and better hospital than the city has
ever afforded.
The appropriation of 5000 per year
means monthly appropriation of SIS
which, added to the 500 per month
given by the city, gives the basis of
support for Q successful hospital work
here. The request was made that
the county give the sum of 81 200 an
nually, which is the amount now given
by the city to the work every year.
The commissioners could not, how
ever, see their way clear to make the
appropriation quite this large, so that
they fixed the sum at 5000 per year in
stead.
While the needs of the hospital are
such that the additional amount Of
5000 would have been more thana well
come, if the commissioners had seen
fit to have fixed upon that sum, never
theless the appropriation as fixed is to
large degree adequate for the needs
VI Tic IiloIItutlOn DIT lllS llL1e. IL As
believed that when the new hospital
building shall have been constructed,
If not before, the commissioners will
gladly increase the amount to equal
that now given by the city.
1t is greatly encouraging to the la
dies of the hospital association, who
have labored necessarily in behalf
of everything that would aid that
cause to know that the needs of the
institution have been considered so
carefully by the county commissioners
and that the aid given by them is as
generous as it is. In every way pos
sible the work of increasing the fund
for the purpose of constructing the
new building will be kept up constan-
ly so that the day may be ahstened
when Americus will have a hospital
service that is entirely adequate to its
needs and which shall be second to
that of no city of equal size in the
state of Georgia.

Atlanta, Jan. 2.-Twenty-eight able

In addition to these against whom

mo BATTLESHIPS"
DEMOCRATS BEATEN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special.-Ac-
knowledgins defeat, the no-battleship
Democrats OF the House have con-
sented to another caucus. which will
be held at 3 o'clock next Tuesday
night. The friends Of the navy will
make a fight in the caucus to release
all Democrats from any pledge to
vote one way or the other on this inn
portant question, believing that If this
is done there will be an easy majority
for two new battleships. The no-bat-
tleship men will try to have adopted a
resolution binding all present to vote
for one ship as a compromise.
The strong Tammany resolution IA
voring two battleships has had its ef-
feet among the New York Democrats
in the House. They are now practi-
cally a unit for two battleships. Rep
resentative John j. Fitzgerald, chair
man Of the appropriations commit
tee, who made a speech against bat
tleships in the last caucus, returned to
Washington yesterday from New York.
He said he did not care to give an
interview, but that he would not make
any more speeches against battleships.
1t had been proposed to call up the
naval appropriation bill in the House
yesterday. but fight developed over
the conference report on the sundry
