when they closed down their mines

operated until May 20. OF the same
year. before the law became effec-

acted wisely. he said. when. after con
sidering conditions. they advised the
miners to return TO work at the Old
prices. They made a mistake in their
proposal when IL was Offered to arbi-
trate following the Columbus confer

follows.
The department or justice has en-
ployed Mr.. Brandeis as special coun-
sci to assist I'm the defense OF the IN
junction proceedings brought by the
Riggs National bank. Up TO the ming
OF the suit on yesterday. the depart
ment OF justice had not had before IL
for official consideration the contro-
versies between the treasury depart
ment and the Riggs National bank.
but knew in general way that these
existed and might result in the char
acter OF litigation The department
OF justice and treasury department
are I'm accord and heartily co-operax-
ING in this suit"
The bank. in its statement. declares
that Mr.. Williams takes credit To
himself for the fact that IL is solvent
when in fact he caused the withdrawal
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
during the summer and fall OF 1914
at time when financial conditions
were exceedingly uncertain in this
country because OF the great war in
Europe"
The statement answers Mr. VIII
liams' charge made in letters TO the
bank that IL loaned large sums to
women for speculative purposes. by
saying that Washington has probably
more women than any city OF its siSa
in the world. who have fortunes and
adds that its losses through loans to
such clients have been negligible.
The bank declares that Mr.. VIII
liams has no foundation for the ale
CATION also made in letters. that u
has tempted young men and women
to ruin through speculation.
The statement points out that Of
ficers Of the bank who held seats on
the Washington stock exchange vol,.
unfairly gave them up in 1914 because
they believed the federal reserve act
might forbid an officer OF a bank act
ing as a broker on a stock exchange.

ALLEN SAPP
Wins Tennis Championship
Of Knox County

BY defeating Robert Walton of
Gambler three straight sets, rs, OF,
81, Saturday afternoon, Allen d.
Sapp of this city becomes the tennis
champion of Knox county. 1t will be
remembered that last week two sets
of this match were played, both of
which were won by Walton, 6-3 and
Ga. In the third set the score was
81 when storm blew up and play
was stopped, not to be resumed un-
til Saturday. With the score two
I sets against him, Sapp put up won.
| derful uphill battle. In the first set
Saturday afternoon, Sapp had the
games three to one in his favor to
start with. Each player then cap
tured two games, making the score
5-3 in Sapp's favor. Just then, how
ever, Walton braced and won the two
succeeding games, making the score
30. Sapp then captured the next
two games, winning the set rs. The
next set was better played than any
during the whole tournament. With
growing confidence because of his
victory in the set before, Sapp put
forth his best efforts to gain this set
Walton, however, also realized his
position and contested every point.
There was a time in this set when
If one of Walton's shots had gone
over the net, it would have meant a
victory for him and the loss of the
championship for Sapp. This set
Sapp won 81 A rest of about five
minutes was then given the two con-
tenders, after which play was resum-
ed and the fifth and deciding set of
certain extent, were playing safe
game. However, at times the brilliant
playing that was in them would crop
out in the form of wonderful drives
or smashes at the net. In this set,
Walton fought for every point, realiz-
ing that his title of champion was at
stake, but he could not overcome
Sapp's generalship and placing. Al
though Sapp only won this deciding
set 81, there was a general feeling
among the spectators that he had
the match won when play in the
third set first started.
Dickinson and Devin defeated Phil
lips and Rosenthall the third set of
their scheduled match SO. 1t will be
remembered that two sets had al
ready been played by these teams,
each team winning one. BY winning
the third set, Dickinson and Devin
earned the right to play in the finals
against the winner of the Weida, r.
