TENNIS TITLES ARE SETTLED
IN COLUMBIA CLUB TOURNEY
Connie Doyle and Selden Defeat Gore and
Treanor In Doubles Baker Beats
Miss Dufour In Women's Singles.

Enthusiastic followers of tennis were
given quite a treat yesterday after
noon at the Columbia Country Club
courts when the championships in the
mems doubles and women's singles
were decided. The doubles contest was
hard one but the singles were some
what easy for the woman champion.
Connie Doyle and Harold Selden
fought it out with Albert Gore and
Paul Treanor, and finally triumphed in
three out of four matches by the
scores, Ga, Is, Ga and 6-4. 1t
was expected that Gore and Treanor.
fresh from their victory at the Cum
berland tournament, would make Doyle
and Selden extend themselves through
out the match. but the contrary was
the case, although the victory cannot
be classed as an easy one. Treanor
did not play up to anything like his
true form and, of course. that threw
almost all the work on Cores shout
ders. Gore did his best at all times,
but his best could not offset the SPLEEN
did work of Connie Doyle, the star on
the other side.
Selden was somewhat cratic, but at
that he gave Doyle marked assistance.
especially in the rallies, and his mite"
certainly was appreciated by the local
champion. Connie is at the top of his
game just now, and gave an exhibition in
serving that classed up with the best in
the land. Throughout the struggle Doyle
made Selden take care of himself, and the
youngster very rarely failed to respond
with telling drive or a tantalizing lob
that dropped in safe territory.
A Strong Combination.
The victory of Doyle and Selden en-
titles them to the honor of being cham
pions CT the District in the doubles. and
should they continue to play together so
as TO develop strong team work. with the
| latte-s expected improvement. they should

PASS NEWARK ON
 LONG AUTO TRIP
Mir. and Mrs. J. w. Beene of Hoisington, Kan, spend Day Here on Return from Florida

Suffering a breakdown in their car, in which they were making a trip from Florida to Kansas, MT. and Mrs. J. w. Beene of Hoisington, Kan, spent the day here last Satur- day, securing repairs for their car.
 MT. and Mrs. Beene left Hois- ington in their Maxwell carlast June, going by way of Fort Smith and Little Rock. After crossing the Mississippi rver, they visited most of the prin- cipal cities, and continuing their journey to Florida theyinspect- ed that state pretty thoroughly with the view of locating if they found suitable place. Mr. Beene says Florida has a splen- did climate, but that is all that can be said for the state, so they decided to return to Kan sas. They carried their cook ing utensils and bedding and were prepared to live very con- fortably in their car.
 Since leaving their home last June, thNy had travelled more than 5000 miles with very few mishaps or accidents, and were still using one tire that was on their car when they left home. They left here Sunday morning, going by way of Batesville, Les lie and Mountain View, and ex- pected to reach home in about a week.

ONE DAYS FREIGHT
 SHIPMENTS $5,OOO

More than five thousand dol aars worth of freight was ship ped out of Newark in one day during the past week. Of this amount, less than $170O worth was cotton, the remainder be- ing lumber, meat, hay, and oth- er products.
 Considering the great loss this community sustained from the recent overflow, it must be admitted that this is pretty good showing, and bears un- mistakable evidence that diver sified farming pays.

GOVERNORS VETO
 UPHELD BY COURT
Half Million Dollars Affected by Decision of Supreme Court On Governor Hays Veto.

The validity of Gov. Hays IVetoing of appropriation items aggregating $529,052 was up- held by the Supreme Court in a decision handed down at Little Rock last Monday.
 Suit was filed by J. H. Page, commissioner of agriculture, who attempted to mandamus IM. F. Dickinson, State Auditor, and compel him to issue war rants to pay for postage. The lower court held that Governor Hays had not complied with the Constitution in vetoing the ap- popriation items and declared the vetoes null and void.
 As a basis for suit it was shown that Governor Hays had issued no formai proclamation setting forth the items vetoed and his reasons therefor. The governor merely wrote "disap- proved and vetoed" across the many items he struck from the appropriation bills. The Su- preme Court held that such ac- ton was sufficient and a pocla- mation in any other form is not needed.
 The University of Arkansas. the four State 4. gl.,. ulturai School and the several charit- able institutions were hit hard est by the governors slashing of appropriations. Each of the four agricultural schools lostits Ientire $40,000 salary item. Ap- Ipropriation items for about $40, ,000 for the State Hospital and for $75,000 for the Univer- ISlty of Arkansas were among those vetoed.
 Coincident with the decision of the Supreme Court came rise in the value of State war rants which had been selling at about 90 cents on the dollar. Warrants went practically to par. State officials believe that as a result of the courts decision, the state will be able to redeem all outstanding war rants by next June and will re- suit in putting the state again on cash basis.
