In the confusion that followed
many thought Justice Stafford had

GOOD GAMES
WIMBLEDON, England, June 23.
The match between the American
champion, Maurice E. McLoughlin,
'of San Francisco, and the English
crack, H, Roper Barrett, who were
drawn together in the first round of
. the English lawn tennis championship
here today, ended a victory for the
iUts and stripe by three sets to two.
The match was fiercely fought
throughout and ran its whole length
before the more youthful competitor
was able to overcame his English ri
val. Excitement among the big gal
lery of spectators ran high.
In the first set of the McLoughlln
Barrett match, although the games
went with the service until the ninth,
when the American lost by a love
game. Barrett took the new game
and the set
Although MoLoughlih's topping
was good he was easily passed at the
net His fast service was a revelation
to the onlookers, and when he settled

off the deficiency and won 1-8,
In the third set Barrett proved far
better both at the back line and at

As the fourth game started the sun
appeared. The American seemed to
revel In its rays. , He quickly estab

and lost only one other game In the
set His strong service gave him a
tremendous advantage and hii side
line drives were magnificent
In the fifth sot McLoughlln got a
lead of four games to two by smash

WASHING TON, June 21 Attorney-General
McKeynolds will make a
full report to President Wilson, at
the president's request, upon the
causes that moved him to direct post
ponements of the Dlggs-Camlnettl
whit slave cases and the trials of
two director of the Western Fuel
oompany, the basis of the resignation ,
ol united States Attorney John U
lioNa'b, of San Francisco, and his sen
sational charges against the head of
the department of Justice.
One of the day's most' remarkable
developments in the unusual episode
was the receipt by the president of a
telegram from Clayton Herrlngton,
special agent of the department of
Justice, In charge of the federal bu
reau of Investigation at San Francis
co, deman.ilnrf the removal from of
fice of Attorney-General McKeynolds.
Officials tonight declared that the
question of summary action In Her
ringtona case probably would be tak
en up by the attorney-general
Department in Ignorance.
The department of Justice was In
Ignorance of the special agents pro
test until its publication this after
noon. It was then called to the at
tention of the attorney-general. Ear
ly In the day, before Herrlngton's ac
tion became known at the .depart
ment, officials were somewhat mysti
fied and later amused by the receipt
of a telegram from another special
agent applying for the "vacancy" at
San Francisco.
While no action has yet been taken
on the McNab resignation, White
House officials let it be known that
the president was looking for a suc
cessor. They stated that the char
acter of the new district attorney
would soon show Whether there could
b any manipulation of the case by
the department Of- justice through, po
litical influences as charged by Dis
trict Attorney McNab. 1 '
Steps today preliminary to a Bnal
determination of the controversy
were many. The president said his
first Intimation of the situation was.,
gleaned from the newspapers and de
clared he would wait for the attorney
general's report before determining
hi course. The episode found an
echo In the halls of congress, where
Representatives Kahn, republican, of
California, and Hinebaugh, progres
sive, of Illinois, Introduced in the
house resolutions, one calling for offi
cial papers in the case and the other
for an Investigation by the Judiciary
committee. Representative Mann is
sued a statement declaring President
Wilson should supplant Immigration
Commissioner Camlnettl on the
ground that he has "used toth his po
litical and official influence to pre
vent his son from being brought to a
speedy trial."

Free Wool
WASHINGTON, June 23.-Demo-
crata opposed to free sugar, enlivened
the senatorial caucus late today, be
ginning their final eftort to change the
chedul before the tariff bill reach
ed the senate for general debate.
Western and Loulsana senators wer
primed to make a titanic tight against
the provision approved and urged by
President Wilson which provides that
sugar shall tie 'free of duty In 1118.
Senator Shafroth of Colorado and
Walsh of Montana took up the con
test when th schedule was reached
suddenly late in the afternoon. It
had not been expected that the caucus
would reach sugar before tomorrow,
but the metal and wood schedules
were rushed through without much
discussion and before 5 o'clock the
decks were cleared for th first and
most determined party tariff sched
ule. This will be the acid teat for
free sugar.
Will Be Released.
As a result of the decision of the
caucus the democratic senators will
be pledged, but the prospect Is that
Senators Thornton and Ransdell will
ibe released from the binding resolu
tion that la to be adopted. There Is
a possibility of on other senator
asking for relief. Senator Ransdell,
who, pleading th fight on free sugar,
hurried from th caucus room when
It was apparent the sugar schedule
would, be reached and sent a messen
ger for Senator Newlands of Nevada.
He wanted all the democrats who do
not favor the administration plan
present Senator Newlands soon ar
rived and Immediately thereafter th
first paragraph of Ui ubedute , was
read. .. . :
Senator Shafroth of Colorado was
the flrat- speaker.-" Coming from
beet sugar state, h made. sr vigorous
plea for elimination of the provision
for free sugar In three years. He
submitted many briefs and statistics
to support the claims of the beet
sugar manufacturers that free sugar
would mean the crippling, if not th
death, of the industry. ,
Fight Free Wool.
Senator Walsh of Montana, who
will make a fight against free wool,
is standing by the anti-free sugar
senators (n the caucus fight. He fol
lowed Shafroth and bad not conclud
