A WORD TO TIE WISE.

The Common Law Company IS not
legislative gift. 1t is founded on con-
s,itutional rights. Therefore the Com
mon Law company is just as legislative
proof a. the Constitution itself.
The Common Law company is In tact
the formation Of a Trust. and not a cor
poration. The Trustees hold title 10
property. patents. privileges. etc. and
conduct the business OF their trust for
the benefit OF the shareholders. This IL
all simple. legal and safe and can be
held out To the general public in mar
ner that will make its shares just a.
salable as the stock in a corporation,
more so when they understand the dif-
ference.

YANKEE AND Jap
CLASH IN FINALS
/. ONENGLISH COURTS
Tildeh-Shimidzu, Winner, Must
Face Patterson for Tennis
Title.

WIMBLEDON, England, June 2s,--
William T. Tilden OF Philadelphia
and zenzo Shimldzu of Japan will be
the competitors in the finals OF the
British lawn tennis singles cham
pionship. Tilden won his place to-day
as finalist by defeating his fellow
American, Charles S. Garland Of
Pittsburgh, in the semi-flnals, "a,
Sc, 6-2. Shimidzu earned the right
to oppose the Phladelphian by beating
Theodore Mavrogordato Of the English
Davis Cup team, 3-6, ca. co, g..
Thet winner OF the finals must meet
Gerald L. Patterson OF Australia, in
the challenge round for the cham
pionship.
Tilden's defeat Of the japanese in
straight sets a Week ago in the Lon
don championship matches at the
Queens Club make the American a
big favorite, Notwithstanding the
view of experts that Shmidzu's play
has notably improved during the
wimbledon meeting.
Shimidzu was bothered greatly
early in to-day's match owing to its
being played on the outside court.
He was not used to the wind, hav-
ing played most Of his other games
here on the protected centre court.
The japanese made wonderful re-
ccvery in the second game, however,
when Mavrogordato seemed to suf-
fer from over-confidence, which final
ly was largely responsible for his be-
ing eliminated,
Garland fought gamely but to the
spectators 1t seemed that Tllden only
xtended himself when necessary to
keep from losing set, The winner
was easily master Of the situation
throughout the match.
The American doubles pair Will
lam NJ. Johnston and william 7. Til
Den, won their match in the fourth
round, defeating the British pair.

United States District Attorney
Ross said to-day that the indictments
had been found on the records of the
draft boards and included every man
who had neglected to put in ques-
tionnaire or to appear for eXamina-
tion or for service. Hundreds OF these
men recorded as delinquents, he said,
are guiltless because they were al
ready in the service or afterward
volunteered without clearing them
selves of responsibility to their draft
boards and as fast as these persons
are identified they will be exonerated.
The proceeding in Brooklyn is part
Of a nation wide programme to see

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The

SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.-Ad-

Convention apparently In full control
OF the situation; Senator Glass OF
Virginia as Chairman OF the Resolu-
tions Committee: william J. Bryan

out Of what had promised TO be a

The threatened anti Admlnistration on

At the same time the committee
formulating the rules for the CON

while the Resolutions Committee is
working on the platform. by unan-
imous action 1t decided that the var

This action will simplify and hasten
the work of the convention very

Administration supporters strength

National Convention through a series
OF victories in the Credentials Com

j. S. AGENTS ENTER
ELWE[L MYSTERY
ON "BOOTLEG" TIP
Shevlin Takes Hand on Clue
Indicating Murder Followed
Illicit WhiSkey Deal.

Federal Enforcement Agent James
E. Shevlin set his men to work this
morning investigating the story that
Joseph Bovine Elwell,, who was MUIR
dered in his home, No. 244 West 10th
street, on Friday morning, June IL,
was "A ''bootlegger" on a large scale
and that deal in Illicit whislSey may
have furnished the motive for his
murder
The District Attorneys office came
into possession of the facts In the
case on Saturday morning. 'notwith-
standing that Mr.. Swami said yester-
day he had not heard of it. The story
was that Elwell entered into a deal
to take over a consignment of good
whiskey for $l27OO, the sale Of which
would probably have netted him
$4,000 or more.
Elwell made out his check to a per-
son who indorsed it to another both
being go-betweens for Elwell and the
parties who were to supply the liquor.
The story goes that some of the liquor
was delivered to Elwell and the check
deposited. Then Elwell sent word to
the depositor that he did not have
sufficient funds in his bank to cover
the amount of the check, and asked
him to withdraw the latter until he
could raise the money.
Whether he intended to act in good
faith or was out to double cross"
his partners the story does not show.
The purpose Of Agent Shevlin Is ITO
trace the liquor which was involved
in the deal. Two of his men, Special
Agents Daniel j. Mangin and William
p. Lord. went to the District Attor-
ney's office this morning, but evi-
IDENTIFY did not get the information
they were seeking. Agent Shevlin
wants to know what became of the
check, which he thinks might lead to
the present whereabouts of the
liquor. His men were asked 70 call
again at the District Attorneys office
later in the day.
The activity Of the Federal Pro-
hibition Enforcement Agent had the
effect Of stirring up the District At
torney's office to more action than
has been exhibited in the Elwell
murder mystery for several days past
William Barnes, former valet and
secretary for Elwell. was summoned
again to the District Attorneys Of
flee this afternoon and questioned by
Assistant District Attorney Talley as
to whether he had any knowledge of
his former employer having been en-
gagged in the traffic Of liquor just

line.

departed, Chief Assistant District
