Gould only needed to take three sets
today to win the championship. He
swept the Englishman off his feet in
the first two, winning hands down.
COvey won the third set, but Gould
came right back and took the series and
the championship by the fourth set, 6.1.

NATIONS MUST JOIN
IN NINVTOLABLEPA
CARNEGIE DECLARES
Proposing New League, He
Says World Harmony Is
Impossible While War
Preparations Continue.
NEW YORK Oct. Is.

NEW YORK, oct. Is.
Andrew Carnegie, in an article, "a
League of Peace, Not Preparation for
War" In the Independent, makes a plea
to warning nations to consider seriously
the adjustment of all future disputes
through the Hague conference or other
tribunal satisfactory to the contendants.
Mr.. Carnegie declares that preparation
for war as a means of assuring peace
hns been proved failure, and that the
agreement between the Allies which
binds them to act only in unison in all
matters affecting peace is an illustration
Of the forthcoming union of nations to
preserve peace.
Among the forthcoming results of the
present European war;" says Mr.. Carne-
gle. there is to be proven once again
the fallacy that world peace can be
secured through preparation by each ma
ton for war. On the contrary. there can
be no possible escape from the conclusion
that war can be abolished only through
union of powerful peace nations, re-
solved to preserve the peace themselves
and also, IL absolutely necessary, to en-
force 1t upon others.
THE present war gives us upon small
scale an illustration of the forthcoming
union of nations to preserve peace, I'm the
agreement executed by the Allies, Britain,
Russia and France, which binds them to
act only In unison in all matters affect
ing peace.
After the present belligerents agree
upon peaceful settlement Germany and
Austria should be the first invited by the
Allies to join in forming n League OF
Peace. Should they accept, then some of
the other nations might be invited. First.
one general World Peace Commission
shall be established, to which each MEM
ber shall contribute toward expenditure in
proportion to its population and wealth.
Their respective fleets shall be merged,
controlled and operated under such man
agement as the league may direct from
time to time. No war policy or attack
upon any nation fleet shall be made
except by a majority vote of two-thirds
of all the members of the World Peace
League, and then only after timely notice
to the nations threatened. The commits
sion shall exercise undisputed authority
always provided II is sustained and its
action approved from time to time by
two-thirds of the total membership"

famous Durkey lost will case has suffered
a relapse, from which 1t may never be

The heirs sold shares in the case, there
being not one State in the Union In which
some shares were not sold. ]. j. Hill, of
st. Paul, is one of those directly inter-
ested, since the case was founded upon
the allegations involving the Northern
Pacific, Southern Pacific and the Union

PRESIDENT WILSON
ACCUSED OF DEAL
WITH MONEY KINGS
Republican Congressional
Committee Issues Statement
Charging Repeal of Tolls
Exemption to a Campaign
Bargain.

WASHINGTON, oct. 15.--The Republi-
can Congressional Committee, in state
ment issued last night virtually charges
President Wilson with having entered into
a bargain with Andrew Carnegie and
James ]. Hill, under the terms of which
the two millIonaires are financing the
Democratic Congressional campaign as a
return for the action of the President in
bringing about the repeal of the Panama
Canal free tolls act
Representative Frank p. Woods of
Iowa, Is chairman of the committee
which makes the accusation against the
President of the United States.
According to the statement, which has
for its text some newspaper dispatches,
saying that Messrs. Carnegie and Hill
we're financing the Democratic Congress
sonal campaign this year, Mr.. Carnegie
through his so-called peace endowment"
spent thousands of dollars in the interest
of the Presidents canal tolls repeal propa-
ganda, and Mr. Hill was even more in
terested in having the act repealed. but
his reasons were different"
with Mr.. Carnegie, the statement asserts,
but with Mr.. Hill 1t was matter of
dollars and cents because toll exemption
would interfere with high freight rates
OF his railroads "All of the Hill in
fuence was Joined with that of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad to kill off free
tolls" the statement declares.
Tho statement continues:
80 it was that a common cause was
made between President Wilson and these
two foremost representatives of the preda-
tory interests and. indeed, the COZ. Dina
ton of big money on the one hand and
barrels of political patronage on the other
were too strong for those who contended
that the canal should be operated in the
interest of the American Government,
which built it. and the people, who paid
for it, Democrats in Congress, who by
the score were at heart for free tolls
fearing the loss of postmasters and other
fat political jobs, stood by the President
until free tolls went down to defeat
amid the unsurpassed eXuitation of the
Hills and the Carnegies."
The Republican Congressional Commit
tee accuses Mr.. Hill of being actuated
also, in his alleged contributions to the
Democratic Congressional campaign, by
resentment over the action of Republl-
can Legislatures in States through which
the Hill railroads pass in enacting rail-
road legislation Ire Legislatures of Min |
nesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, |
Montana, Idaho Washington and Oregon |
are mentioned. Reference is made also |
TO Senator La Follette's fight against rail- |
roads in Wisconsin, and the Burlington, |
which Mr.. Hill controls, was one of the |
first to feel the effect of IL. according IN |
the statement.
The statement may be expected to stir |
moro or less discordant echoes in the Re-
publican camp as 25 Republican members |
of the House voted for the repeal of the |
tolls exemption clause.
