BACHELORS TENNIS
TOURNEY UNDER WAY
Opening Delayed on Account
| of Rain Until Yesterday, When
Stars Win, as Expected.

Because Of the heavy rains of Sunday
the twenty-fifth annual District cham
pionship tennis tournament, being played
on the Bachelors courts at Woodley
Park, was not started until yesterday,
when the first and second rounds were
practically completed, twenty-five of the
SiXty-four players entered surviving the
play. The drawings have luckily made
two well balanced halves and every play
or entered has a good chance to reach
the later rounds, although it looks very
much as if this event Will be duplicate
of the Columbia one with Spencer Cor
don and Conrad b. Doyle meeting in the
finals. Gordon is the present title holder,
but was compelled to play through the
tournament, the committee in charge hav-
ing decided to have no challenge rounds
and to make last years winners play
through the event, following the New
port plan.
OF the large number of matches played
yesterday there were many eNcep-
tionally interesting ones, =. T.. Chap
man and Arthur HELEN furnishing the
best when Chapman beat the Bachelor
player, 6-S, Ga and Sc. As may be
judged by the score. the players could
hardly have been more evenly matched:
In another three-set match Morgan L.
Steele won from /. l.. Dent. This
proved to be a very odd affair, two Of
the sets being deuced ones, one calling
for fourteen games and the other calling
for twelve, while the third was J. love
one. Steele took the first. SIS, and then
was beaten very badly In the second,
not being able to take a game, but he
came back in the third and deciding

Overture to Roosevelt Men.

After the proposal had been adopted by
the committee advocates of progressive
ideas declared that the outcome indicated
a willingness to meet part way those who
left the party year ago to follow Col.
Roosevelt and who wished to return. The
question was one that agitated the re-
publican national convention in 1872 and
Roosevelt at Chicago urged a change in
the party rules similar, in principle to
that adopted.
Before the resolution was amended to
indorse the present system of representa-
ton by congressional districts. Mr.. Barnes
declared that the scheme was not prac-
ticable. He said that it placed toe
much power in the hands of the parties
dominant in the different states. Il will
act in accordance with such sugges-
ton" he asserted, "if / can. If cannot
l will retire"
After the amendment was added he re-
marked: IT'S satisfactory to me in
that form: but I don't see how they are
going to do it,
Senator Root argued that the present
rotten borough system gives undue weight
to the representatives Of the southern
states, which contribute nothing what
ever to the election Of republican presi-
dents. II you are going to change the
rules you must do so before you elect
ton. We should declare for the principle
only and leave the method and detail to
the special convention. I'd rather have
the delegates from the different states
come in their own way than stay away

Urges Reduction of Southern
Representation in Ma
tionaI Conventions.
ROOT LEADS THE FIGHT
FOR PROGRESSIVE PLANK
William Barnes, Jr., Makes Vain
Contest Against Program He Is
Ordered to Execute.

NEW YORK, September 24-The re-
pub'icans of New York have declared in
favor OF changing the party rules SO
| that each state may determine it's own
method Of choosing delegates to the ma
tional convention, and so that states
which give the big republican pluralities
shall have proportionately large power
in selecting candidates for President.
For this purpose the New York republl-
cans call for a special national conven-
ton at an early date.
The proposition and its subsidiary
question developed the biggest fight Of
the republican state convention held here
yesterday and last night This struggle
was staged. however, before the COM
mittee on resolutions There the issue
was fought out with Senator Elihu Root
Henry l.. Stimson, former Secretary Of
War. and Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University. as chief
supporters of the proposal, and William
Barnes. jr. national committeeman, as
its strongest opponent.
Amended and Approved.
The resolution finally was approved,
litter the original measure had been
the congressional district as the basis of
representation.
Later the resolution was adopted by
the convention, which thus made the de-
mand for the change in rules the stand
of the party in this state.
The declaration adopted by the COM
mittee was as follows:
I'VE instruct the representative of the
state of New York in the national COM
mittee to urge that a national convention
be called as soon as practicable, to
change the party rules SO as:
Il. To provide that in the call for fu-
ture national conventions delegates are to
be chosen in each state in the manner
preferred by the republican voters in
such states. We. however urge the con-
tinuance of the congressional district as
the basis of representation.
-. To insure that representation in the
national conventions shall hereafter be
based more nearly on the republican vote
actually cast in the several states and
congressional districts, which just prin-
ciple received the unanimous support of
the delegation of the state of New York
1T the national convention of 1905 and
80. To amend the rules relative to party
procedure in such other respects as may
be requisite"

California Case Recalled.

The discussion recalled the fact that at
Chicago last year the national conven-
ton refused to seat delegates from one
California district who were chosen at
the statewide primaries under the state
law and accepted in their place dele
gates chosen under the party rule OF
representation by congressional districts.
Yesterdays resolution is intended to pre-
vent such conflicts in future.
Mr.. Barnes said he did not believe the
national committee would abandon the
congressional district rule; nevertheless
he pointed out the danger that would
arise if individual states were allowed
too great latitude.
The convention wound up its labors by
the nomination of William f. Werner of
Rochester. associate judge of the court
of appeals. for chief judge, and Frank Fl
Hiscock of Syracuse for associate Judge
OF the court of appeals. Judge Werner
defeated State Senator Edgar L. Bracket
for the nomination for chief Judge by
44s votes to 151. Frederick L. Crane OF
Brooklyn. supreme court judge OPP
posed Judge EHscock. but was defeated
BY a vote of All to 157.
At the night session of the conven-
ton, when the resolutions were adopted
and the candidates named, there was a
rousing demonstration In honor of Sena-
tor Root, the permanent chairman. Sen
ator Root said that he began his " ork
Tor the party forty years ago, and he
hoped to continue that service as long as
ne lived. He said he wished to emphasize
the Importance of the coming election
declaring that the election of judges die
not rouse the public interest it deserved.

Bill Board War in Progress.

For the past few days there seems
to have been a stable bill board war
ON Rockingham street The proprietor
of the Grand theater put up bill
board front of the entrance to his place
of entertainment, and as it was at
right angles with the side walk, but on
land leased by him, the proprietors of
the Grand cafe felt that it hid the en-
trance and windows of their restaura Mt
so as to interfere with their rights.
They at once arranged with parties
controlling the block and store next
south aud put up a much larger bill
board almost entirely hiding the Grand
board, also the entrance. This latter
was covered with posters Of cntertain-
ments at the opera house by Bill Post
er kiniry; and while there is lot of
talk both bill boards remain in place.
