middle, and his smashing kill still
thunderS and roars. He is just one
month this side of AZ, yet how
much would you care to wager
against him in match with any
tennis player in the world?
Tonight, on the striped canvas
that is the indoor court of Madison
Square Garden, Big Bill goes out
against Ellsworth Vines, young
man just half his age and a fellow
who hits a tennis ball as hard as
anybody who ever played the game,
yet who is 2 to l favorite to win?
The keen youngster with all the
speed and stamina, and game
sound enough to win the All-Eng-
land and American championships
in 1882? No, the old fellow, the old
fellow whose legs and eyes were
! thought to have betrayed him as
long as five years ago.
Will Play Hard
In fact, the amazing veteran is
playing such a superb game that
| there are those who believe he will
"carry' Vines along tonight in or
der to make the show worth watch
ing, and to preserve Vines lure as
an attraction. He won t! If he can
win the 18 straight games, he will
! The customers on hand and the
| customers of the future be damned,
Big Bill still is the superb egotist,
and tonight with $4,000 spectators
| in the house, he III be putting every
! thing he got in every shot. Win
| or lose, he III play all the tennis he
I knows.
Just how brightly the flame of
competition still burns in Big Bill IS
breast is shown by an incident in
his recent match with Winnie Rich
ards in Philadelphia. In the first
set Bill was serving and one of his
cannonball slants caught the out
side edge of the service court line.
When the umpire ruled it an ace,
Richards, who thought it outside,
showed his displeasure by grimacing
at the umpire and at Bill.
Walking a few feet toward the
net, Tilden spoke to Richards:
$50 you don It think it was good,
eh Winnie, well, how do you like
theSe?'
Whereupon Bill ran out the game
with blistering aces that Richards
never touched, and continued the
barrage the next time he served
with four more shots that Richards
| didn't lay racket on. AS Rich
ards tells the story himself, it must
be true.

KEITH JURY
WILL st UDY
OLD PICTURE

LOS ANGELES. Jan. TO- U.P)-A
faded photograph of solemn beau
ty of the eighties was today in the
possession of the jury pondering the
sanity of the late Miss Margaret
Keith, lady of the unseen face.'
The photograph introduced in ev-
idence in the suit to break the late
wealthy spinster S will, was the first
inkling had by the jury and pub
lie, and even the deceased servants,
of her appearance. 1t was offered
after cumulative testimony to the
effect that Miss Keith kept her face
hidden from virtually all visitors to
her room for a decade or more.
The likeness showed that the eld-
erly woman, who committed suicide
last spring by inhaling chloroform,
at one time had her share of the
high-coiffured, guimped good looks
of the day.
Mrs. Eta Keith Eskridge, a sister
and one of the contestants, testi-
fled yesterday that Miss Keith pos
sessed certain unusual nervous
traits before she was six. Even at that
age, Mrs. Eskridge testified, her sis
ter would be swept into extremely
nervous transports, and would rock
for hours in a rocking-chair to quiet
them. This habit finally rubbed the
hair off the back of her sister s
head, Mrs. Eskridge said.
Mrs. Eskridge corroborated earlier
testimony of relatives and servants
that Miss Keith covered her face
with a heavy black veil for 10 years.
barring it only rarely, and never if
anyone but close relatives were pres
ent.
Miss Keith left her $330,000 estate
to a nephew Albert c. Allen, Jr.,
Oregon rancher.

COTTON MEASURE
ACTION SPEEDED
Conferees Agree to Restore
Provisions Cut Out
by Senate.
BY the Associated Press.

py tllC AocOSldtCo ASoS'
With an agreement among con-
ferees on the Bankhead cotton control
bill, restoring it virtually to the form
in which it passed the House, Con-
gress was prepared today to take final
action on the measure, which already
has the approval OF President RooSe-
welt. A vote not later than Monday
was promised by Senator Bankhead,
Democrat, of Alabama.
The measures aim is to limit the
cotton marketed from the 1884 crop
to 100000 bales.
Here are the principal provisions
of the latest draft of the measure:
The bills life is limited to one year,
but if tWo-thirds of the cotton grow
ers favor such action it may be ex-
tended another year by presidential
proclamation.
The tax on cotton in excess of
the 10000, ,000-bale allotment is SO
per cent of the value Of the staple.
The levy will be applied at the time
the cotton is sold and not at the
time it is ginned.
The measure contains stiff penal
provisions for violations. These were
riddied in the Senate bill and re-
stored in conference.
The Secretary of Agriculture will
allot each State and county its quota.
The allotment will be determined on
the basis of the average number of
bales produced during the past five
years.
The Senate had changed the allot-
ment period to 10 years. The House
base was five.
The allotments to the individual
farmers will be determined, officials
said. by the county committees set
up under the voluntary cotton reduc-
ton program which was intended to
limit planting this year to around
25,000,000 acres.

OLDTIME FILMS ENTERTAIN
 RESIDENTS OF NUSHAGAK

Films are imported by the ton at Nushagak, according to Rasmus Knudson. so that the residents of that section may view the movies the same as the people of more densely populated areas. The films are oldtimers that have gone the circuit of the world, MT. Knudson declares, but they are nevertheless enjoyed, and they go a long way towards putting sunshine in life for the people of that distant com munity.
 Knudson, who has lived at Nu shagak for the past twenty years, is watchman for the Columbia River Packers cannery. He is mar ried and his family is in the Bris- tol Bay country where he is en- ployed. He arrived in Anchorage a short time ago, coming from his home by plane, and reported that when the plane made a landing at Lake Clark that the red salmon were so thick that the pontoons literally slid over a mass of squirm- ing fish.
