SHOWED
TENNIS SUPREMACY

New York, Dec. 229.-lnJury to
big Bill" Tilden, which may remove
from the court the champion of cham
pions and the greatest Of all time
players, was the outstanding incident
of 1922 in tennis.
Rather fortunately, if such an acct
dent can be considered as such, it did
not happen until the end of season in
which he convinced all skeptics that
he was the greatest player in the
world.
In an exhibition game late in the
fall, Tilden scratched the middle fin
ger of right hand on the wire of a
backstop and blood poison resulted.
Two operations were necessary and the
finger was removed at the second
joint.
With the exception of the forehand
and backhand strokes, Tilden will have
to revise all of his defensive and of
fensive weapons and he says ne Will
consider himself lucky if he is able to
land in the first ten next year.
Tilden has such tremendous
heart" though, that his courage on
the court may be enough to pull him
through.
Resumption of the fued between
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen and Mrs. Mol
la Mallory was the feature of the early
season. The American champion went
to Wimbledon and worked her way
through the British championship to
the final round against the French
girl. Mile. Lenglen played the great
est tennis of her life and, in routing
the American champion, showed that
she was the real queen of the worlds
court.
When Mrs. Mallory got to the Amer
lean woman championships, she dem
onstrated her superiority over all the
American girls. -,
The form shown by Helen Wills, the
California youngster, was warming,
however, to the queen that she hasn't
long to reign.
If America had not been sitting so
unouestionably on the top of the ten
mis- world for several years, the victory
of the American team over the Aus
tralians in the Davis Cup Challenge
round would have been one Of the big
gest events of the year.
The work of the two Bills-Tllden
and Johnson-and young Winnie Ken
ards of course was duly appreciated,
but it was rather a matter of form, as
it was almost a pre-ordained fact that
the Americans would win.
Tilden's injury will not work to the
harm of the Davis Cup classics, al
though it may be the cause of another
trip by the classic cup.
American supremacy at present and
for the immediate future is so soundly
established that other nations are
thinking it poor business to spend so
much money for seemingly impossl-
BILE chance of winning the cup for sew
eral years.
Bill Tilden has done more for ten
mis- than any other person in the game
and even in misfortune he may be DO
ing thesame good.
For several years, some tennis fans
have been of the opinion that Bill
Johnston was the real king of Amerl-
can tennis and that in 1920 and 1871
Tilden won because the physically IN
ferior Johnston had been over-ten-
Missed.
In the championships this year, how,
ever, Tilden should have convinced all
those who thought little Of him before
that ne is the greatest player in the
world. ~,
He beat Patterson, winner OF the
British championship easily and when
he beat Johnston, he defeated one who
is only hairaway from being the best
in the world.

st. Paul. Fegruary 16.-Proposal
for state motor vehicle tax schedules
was made today by Charles M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner, fol.
lowing his declaration for revision of
present rates. The commissioner com
ments on gasoline and other tax sug-
gestions and emphasizes the necessity
for providing reasonable trunk high
way funds if Minnesota is to live up to
its rapidly spreading fame as good
roads state. Public dissatisfaction
with changes which would curtail high
way work will be even greater than
that against nfair-taxation, he asserts
now that possible car savings and ad-
yantages from good roads are being
demonstrated.
The most equitable and popular plan
in Mr.. Babcock's opinion, is that for
tax based on the actual market val
ue, weight and power rating of the mo-
tor vehicle and payable In advance,
and an additional amount to be based
on gasoline consumption and rated at
one or two cents gallon. Market
values can be determined by an es-
tablished sales reporting service now
accepted by the automotiYe trade, he
said, and the gasoline consumption
portion of the tax could be collected
on gross shipments of oil into the state

Charged Man Maintains
Innocence To Counsel
STORY TOLD ON STAND
Claims Measurements Made To
Officers; Also Untruthful
Testimony
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l

Valley City, N. D., February 16.-
William GUNNER, accused of the
murder of Miss Marie Wick of Cry
gla, Mimi, went on the witness stand
again today in the Barnes county dis
trict court.
The first part of the forenoon ses-
sion was given over to the contin-
uance of the direct examination, but
GUNNER was soon handed over to the
state for cross examination. =,
GUNNER denied under, the ques Z
tioning~ of his own counsel that ne
murdered Miss Wick. He did not
use the nozzle with which the state
denied having been in the girls room
at any time, until she was discovered
dead the next morning.
Various exhibits icluding the nozzle
and bloody gag, were shown to the
witness, and he dennied having used
either of them. Cross examinatio
was commenced at 10s 80 a. m.
Claims Made Mistatements
GUNNER Oh cross examination,
said that he had made misstatements
to the officials concerning the pres
ence of John Myers, roomer in the
hotel, being in the lobby when Miss
Wick registed, and also that he had
made misstatements concerning con-
versations he credited to Myers in
the early stages.
The state was seeking to lay foun-
dation for the argument that Gum
mer tried !, to shift suspicion from
himself to Myers.
GUNNER said that when Officer
Nelson of the Fargo police force ties,
titled that he, GUNNER, had said that
Brown was with him at the hotel
most of the night, that Nelson was
not telling the truth.
The defendant also said that A. H.
Leimbacher. a Fargo hotel proprietor,
and Fred Kraemer, sheriff of Cass
county, has told an untruth with ref
erence to statements they testified
Claims UntruthfuI Testimony
Also GUNNER insisted that Sheriff
Kramer had not testified truthfully
told him that on the night or the
murder, he had met his roommate,
Andy Brown, at the depot near the
Prescott hotel the night of the muir
der,
Also that the sha"iff tortifc1 -
ly when he said that he, William
GUNNER. had said that Brown was In
the hotel only five or ten minutes.
GUNNER admitted that he had not
nf2rmed the officers correctly when he
told them he had gone to the train
at l a. m, the night of the murder
and that he had not informed them
correctly when he told them that
George O'Brien was in the hotel about
11:40 AMI took letter to the depot
for him.
GUNNER also said that Z. Kincaid
had testified falsely when he quoted
Gunner as stating that he, GUNNER,
had friend with him until two or
three in the morning on the morning

adjourned until two o'clock

Such an arrangement recognizes the
ad valorem tax feature and tho prin-
ciple that wheels should pay toward
and upkeep expense in
proportion TO their use of the high
ways-combine both property and
privilege tax considerations.
Making plain the relation of the
highway and automobile tax laws and
commenting on various phases of the
tax problem, Commissioner Babcock's
statement continues:
"a plan designed to pull Minnesota
out of the mud and into the ranks of
good roads states was adopted in 1920
by a vote Of 526,936 to 1919 ,6o3 and put
into operation last year. At the same
time was effected a new method Of
taxing motor vehicles.
Tax is Provoking Protest
Regardless of first year results I'M
der the new highway program, the mo:
tor vehicle tax is provoking wide
spread and vigorous protest. Car and
truck owners again are paying state
taxes which in many instances are un-
fair. A recent court ruling on the
tax law was followed by numerous
reports.
sion and criticism, auto tx rerisions,
gasoline taxes, and many other pro-
posals of change are offered. A state
ment of actual facts and conditions
now may help to clear the situation. +,
"Minnesota's motor vehicle tax law
and the state highway development
scheme-sometimes called the Bah
cock Good Roads plan-are entirely
separate and distinct, except that the
trunk highway fund revenues are part
ly governed by the yield of the auto
mobile tax. The relationship between
them is comparable to that Of a big
development company to bank which
aids in financing it but is under differ.
