TENNIS CHAMPIONS
 BATTLE TODAY
M'Loughlin and Champ Williams
 in Final for HOD0rS

boston, Aug 6-R. Norris Williams, I'd, national champion faced Maurice E. Mclaughlin of California, the man from whom he wrested the title last year, in the challenge round Of the annual lawn tennls tournament of the Longwood Cricket Club this aft ernoon. This will mark the first meeting of the two men since Will Hams won the national title last Sep tember.
 Williams gained the right to meet Mclaughlin by administering de- cisive defeat yesterday to Nathaniel w. Niles of this city, in the final round. The score was 6-1, %, 6-1.
 Niles, former state champion, by his defeat of William M. Johnston of San Francisco, and his consistent play since, was looked upon as a formid- able opponent for Williams, and a good crowd turned out this afternoon, braving the chilling drizzle of rain that slowed up the turf courts.
 But the local man never stood a chance at any stage of the match The only two games he did win were the result of Williams errors. Only four of the twenty games played went to deuce, and the match was com pleted in just forty-five minutes.
 Never before had the national champion performed in such impress sive style on the classic LongWood courts as he did this afternoon. He seemed to have wonderful control of every stroke, and was just as deadly off the ground as in his overhead play.
 Niles is essentially a back court nlaVer at which style of game he can usually hold his own with any of the ranking men; but Williams drove from his own back court with such strength and unfailing direction that Niles was outclassed' in this depart ment.
 When he attempted to go to the net,

the men mostly of the NCiter and small clerk class. Hundreds, and on Sunday nights, thousands of young Germans used 10 be out. These times the Germans, Austrians, French and Italian young men are otherwise en- ploy yed,s but there is foreign element from Belgium, France and neutral countries. Most of the mon seen are British soldiers in training, with a sprinkling of Belgian soldiers.
 Boating on the upper Thames s one of London's main summer pleas ures. Tea gardens, cottages and house boats line the banks, and every bright Saturday and Sunday after noon still finds the river full of punts, canoes and wherries. But ln- stead of white f1annels and striped jerseys, most of the men wear khaki. War Scenes Feature.
 War scenes still feature the numer- ous moving picture theaters of Lon don, but most of the film plays are of American production.
 It is true that London is darkened of nights, but it is no darker than the average provincial city. Its bright spots with their electric signs and shop windows are no more, and hotel blinds must be lowered. But off t~ main thoroughfares, the Lon- doner is not conscious of the light ing restrictions.
New Britain herald., 1915-08-06

however, the Boston man was even more at sea, for the national cham pion criss-crossed his opponents court with a maze of sharp-angled volley- ing shots that7 sought out the corners With amazing accuracy z Niles was glad to seek refuge again on xhis base line. but, although he. covered a great amount of ground in going after the champions line-cutting drives and drives and shots for placement, he was scarcely able to win single point, except upon the few occasions when Williams made errors.
 The national title holder was steady and severe overhead, and his service ball had a sharp break as it struck the turf that many times scored clean aces for him.
 On his showing this afternoon Will Hams is picked to give McLoughlln the struggle of his life to retain the famous Longwood Cup today. The man from the Coast has already won two legs on the trophy, and victory tomorrow will give him permanent possession.
 In his practice matches all this week Mclaughlin has not shown ms best form, and appears to be several
 
 tion. The grass courts seem to slow up his vaunted speed and he evident ly pines for the faster playing con- ditions of the clay courts of his na- tive state.
 The Coast player, however, is re- markably resourceful and always goes into an important match with an immense amount of reserve force and unusual determination, and to- morrow he will probably excel any of his previous performances this season.
 Mclaughlin will be spurred on by a double incentive in defending his Longwood title. He is anxious to score his third victory, and thus take home the massive silver cup, but even more does he long for the chance of reversing the result of his last match with Williams. A triumph for the Westerner over his greatest rival tomorrow will also be liable to shake

 The Austro-Hungarian scare in this country turns out to have been a false alarm. We have less than 1900, 900 people of Austro- Hungarian birth in the United States. The able-b bodied men, capable of military duty, prob ably number somewhat less than 40O,O 900. They are scattered all over the country. The great majority of them, as their racial leaders have de- clared have so little love for their native land that they don't care who licks Austria" Few of them were ever bound to their old country by any real ties of patriotism, and the first genuine national loyalty they have ever experienced is the attach ment they have developed for the land of their adoption.
 The Austrians, Hungarians and Be- hemians may participate in labor strikes, but there is no evidence to show that they are not striking sim ply as Americans, for higher wages and shorter hours, rather than as ali- ems for foreign advantage.

FIRST WINTER STORM
MAKES APPEARANCE
WIND ATTAINS SUSTAINED VELo
CITY OF THiRTY-ElGHT
MILES AN HOUR

The FIRST intimation OF winter came
in the storm this morning which be-
gan with a drizzle about D. III. and
later changed to snow, the fall of the
beautiful being about two inches. Be.
fore the rain and snow fell there was
persistent windstorm which drove
the dust in clouds, the wind attaining
sustained maximum for five mimi
ties OF 80 miles an hour with occa,
sional gusts which must have ap-
preached the mile a minute rate.
This storm was the outskirt of the
hurricane which swept the Pacific
coast yesterday and which was ac.
companied by heavy rainfall. Re
ports from Reno are that the snow
fall was heavy in the Sierra. The in.
dications now are for clearing wea

ious sections of the state, who would
go over the matter of superintendency
of public schools, and report their
findings and recommendation to the
next Legislature.
A further argument used, and very
effectively, was that at each session
of the legislature during the past few
years, much valuable time was wasted
and often times a great deal of acri-
mony engendered through the intro
duction of legislation, abolishing this
particular office, and it was contend
ed at the last session that the crea-
ton of the school survey board"
would dispose of all these questions
for long time TO come, at Ieast, as
the report of this board would be TAX
en- as guide by future legislatures.
The reason assigned for the intro
duction of bill. doing away with the
office of district deputies was "the
necessity to practice economy, and
The fact that this bill was defeated
during several legislatures should be
| sufficient proof alone to satisfy any
| one that the LEGISLATURE had had only
the one idea before them, and that il
that this act applied to the public
schools only.
No mention was ever made of the

implication, and | feel quite certain
that none of the members of the legis

ANENT RESIGNATION
OF RENO PRINCIPAL
Communicated

Editor Tonopah Daily Bonanza:
In the Nevada State Journal, under
date of Dec. 3d. appears a lengthy
article, headed Professor B. ID. Bill
inghurst Resigns as Member of New.
ada Educational Survey Boary"
While there is no desire, on my part,
TO take issue with Professor Billing
hurst, for whom have the highest re-
gard, as to the substantiability OF the
reason assigned for his resignation,
nevertheless, | am compelled to con
tradict him, as some of the reasons,
at least, are apt to create impressions
in the public mind, not justified by
facts.
The underlying cause of the resig-
nation seems to be over the eonten-
lon, as 10 whether or not, under the
Dill, creating the survey board, the
state university should come within
the scope of authority vested in this
board. Mr. Billinghurst contends
that 1t does, and makes the conten,
ton that the language of the statute
is the test of the legislatures intent.
To this contention my answer is an
emphatic No"
Having fathered the bill creating
the board, ! feel that | am fairly com
petent to speak of the objects and
purposes of the bill in so far as the
| legislature was concerned.
First of all. If Professor Billing
hurst will look over the supreme
court records of this and other states
he Will find that courts do not always
rely upon the exact language of an
act, but rather endeavor to ascertain
just what was in the minds of the
legislators, and the reason for that
state of mind
Why was the act passed, so far as
the members of the legislature are
concerned? Was it because a teachers
institute had recommended some such
step? No.
There was much opposition to the
bill and very strong opposition as
the legislature did not feel inclined
to create any new commissions or
put the state to any additional ex-
pense, which would necessarily be
incurred. by reason of the creation OF
any commission.
The reason Is to be found in the
arguments used by the supporters of
the bill, which were chiefly, that some
sort of action was demanded on the
part of the public. with reference to
the SUPPLEMENTARY Of public instruc-
ton, a bill being then before the leg
islature abollshing that office. or, at
least, TO do away with the district
deputy superintendent on account of
the expense involved.
The main arguments used 10 sup
port my bill and to defeat the bill
sbolishing the Office Of district depu.
ties were that the legislature was not
In a position TO act intelhgently upon
the matter. and that il would be ad.
