HARD FIGHTING OF PLAYERS FEATURES
 NATIONAL TOURNEY
East and West Equally Represented Among the Victors-Murray De-
 feats Tilden

Forest Hills, L. l., August 21.--After a day featured by unusually hard-fought tennis matches the east and west wert about equally represented among the vic. tors in the national patriotic singles tournament being played on the courts of the West Side club for the benefit of the National association ambulance fund. While there were no sensational upsets as yesterday, the class of play was ex- ceptionally high.
 The most thrilling struggle was the four-set match between R. Lindley Mur- ray of Niagara Falls and w. T. Tilden Jr of Philadelphia. Murray was the victor by scores of 3-6, 6-4, 6-S 6-3, but only after he had worn down his oppo- nent by terrific serving, smashing and court covering at top speed and with re- markable gets and blocking at the net.
 STRACHAN WINS
 John R. Strachan of San Francisco also gained a place in the fourth round by eliminating A w. MacPherson of New York, former holder of the Russian cham pionship, by scores of 6-2, 3-6. so, 6-3 Both played steady tennis, but Strachan had the greater reserve power.
 R. Norris Williams, II, of Boston, 1916 champion, defeated Irving c. Wright, his townsman, 6-S, 6-4 9-7, 6-3, due in great part to his greater experience and court generalship. The champion, how ever, was not particularly good in either his placement play or service today.
 N. w. Niles, another Bostonian, elim- mated Holcombe Ward, the sensation of yesterdays play, when he defeated the 1904 champion. s-6. 6-8. il, 6-2 Niles played all of Wards chop and cut strokes hard and fought his way to the net at every opportunity, from which position he was able to smother many of Wards clever attempts at cross court and short chops.

away from home. He also kept very
late hours in returning home at night.
Two years ago he became very atten-
tive to Miss Dickson with the divorce
suit the result, the young chorister
being named as the correspondent.
Charges of adultery were made, the
places of Hackensack and South
Norwalk. Conn, being mentioned.
Testimony of reputable physician
to the effect that the young woman
had not been guilty of Illicit relations
with the minister was the basis for
the conclusion of the vice chancellor
that the charges of Mrs. Tulip, who
was formerly Miss Ann Behrens, had
not been proved.
The opinion Of the vice chancellor
accuses the former pastor with pract-
ically everything except the specific al
legation which. his decision says. was
not proven. Frequently Miss Dickson
met clandestinely with TULIP and she
called at the rectory. On the pretense
or visiting her aunt, she went to South
Norwalk, Conn.,, and the clergyman,
using a false letter and telegram for
the purpose, said he was invited there
to deliver lecture.
Vice Chancellor's opinion says the
man was continually in the company
of Miss Dickson, while they were In
Connecticut, there were meals had at
a road house and once the girl had to
break q window at her aunt's home
to gain admittance at one o'clock in
the morning. 1t was shortly follow
ing this trip that the mother of Miss
Dickson consulted with the physician,
resulting In his decision that no statu-
tory offense had been committed.
The vice chancellor, however, is
convinced, according to his decision,
that Tulip would not have hesitated to
take advantage of the young woman,
who was of good family, had she not
been strong enough to resist him.
The opinion also states that, not
withstanding his calling, the minister
ridiculed the words of the marriage
service, describing it as prayer book
talk" Tulip. who is thirty-five, made
no attempt to cancal his infatuation
for Miss Dickson and the latter recip-
rocated. The girl s described in the
decision as foolish" and the clergy
man as "a plausible talker with a fac
ulty, Of which he seemed proud, Of
writing letters of suggestive nature"

To INVESTIGATE
FISH BUSINESS
Can State Reduce High Cost of
Living by Going Into Fish
Business on Large Scale, is
the Question.
special to the EVBNls @ NEWS.


Trenton, Feb. Cam the State OF
New Jersey aid in reducing the high
cost of living by going into the fish
business on large scale? That'is the
question to be investigated by Cover
nor Edges commission on the high
cost of living. Governor Edge pro-
posed the state fish market in his in
augural address, and it is along the
lines suggested by the governor at his
inauguration that the commission will
look into this part of it's work. The
plan is nothing more nor less than for
the state to become wholesale fish
dealer for salt water fish, marketing
the food fish so as materially to re-
duce the present high price.
Governor Edge submitted his pro-
posal to his high cost of living COM
mission yesterday afternoon and in
general the members agreed that the
plan was worth investigating. Frank
S. Dodd, of Newark, who is a large
market dealer in fish, stands with the
governor in the proposition.
Il want 1t clearly understood" said
the gorernor in stating the result of the
first meeting of his commission, that
none of us is absolutely committed to
this fish proposal, but we believe it to
be worth investigating. 1t may be
practicable, then again it may not be.
We are going to find out by this in
quiry."
William ]. Couse, the Asbury Park
member of the commission, submitted
to the commission a report showing
that 47,000,000 pounds of fish are
caught off the New Jersey coast an
nually, which are sold by the fisher
men to dealers at an average price of
three cents per pound, making the
wholesale fish industry worth $1,400,-
600 a year. The state licenses the
pound nets in which most of the fish
are caught, receiving about $1,000 a
year in fees. The fish are retailed at
from fifteen to twenty cents per pound.
Here is Governor Edges statement
on the subject: ''It is difficult to con-
troll the prices of food products ac-
quired through mans enterprise and
skill-that is planted, cultivated and
Perth Amboy evening news., 1917-02-02
harvested. But New Jersey is blessed

harvested. But New Jersey is blessed
with one large source of food supply
which nature alone has provided: the
salt water fish. Here is an inexhaust-
ible mine with ore rich in its possibil-
tiles for economic benefit.
The state today licenses pound
fisheries In return for small revenue.
Millions of pounds of fish are caught
Through the Schoen assembly commit
tee investigation of the pound net fish
cries of two or three years ago we
learn that the pound fishermen them
selves receive only two to four cents
per pound for these food fish. When
retailed in our markets they bring
from fifteen to twenty cents per pound
or even more. The waste under the
present system of shipping is said to
be appalling.
ut might be feasible for the state
to establish warehouses along the
coast for handling this product, pay
ing pound fishermen the market
price of from two to four cents per
pound, so that this industry would
not be interfered with, but market
ing the fish at prices just sufficiently
higher to pay the actual cost of hand
ling.
"Unquestionably this would reduce
the price to the New Jersey consum-
er very materially"
Governor Edge suggests the estab-
lishment of q Department of Fishe-
ries to handle the project. He thinks
that perhaps the erection of ware
houses would not be necessary, as in
case of a glutted market, the state
could obtain cold storage in the big
refriferator plants in Hudson county
and elsewhere within its bounds.
AS soon as former Senator Everett
Colby, who was made chairman of
the commission, RECEIVERS from the
grip, arrangements will be made for
a meeting with the New York State
Commission on the same subject.
The commission will also start a
campaign of education in an attempt
to teach housewives how to avoid
waste in foods and how to reduce
the cost of living by q proper substi-
tuition of foods that cost less.

RISE IN PRICE OF SILVER.

Within the last two years there
has been a phenomenal rise in the
price of silver, rise which started
from an extremely low Ievel-for
the lowest quotation of 1915 of 45.6
cents an ounce was only 1.7 cents
above the very lowest quotation Gin
1902 and 1909 ever recorded on the
silver market. On the outbreak of
war silver slumped from Sc cents an
ounce, to 45 cents, and remained be-
tween A and AS cents up to Feb
ruary, 1915. Late in 1915 an ad-
vance commenced, and continued
until rs cents was reached in May,
1916. There was a sharp reaction to
50 cents in July, but by the end of
the year rs cents was again reached.
