T'ie California successor to Maurice

:'.-at Tilden and it was only the extra

. Mne that spelled the margin between
ctnry and defeta. Tilden, even in tho

r. il brain witli Johnston and fully h?ld
'-.is own. Added to this, he had great -
: pliysical endurance and court cov
''.ir.x ability, which perhaps, in the
'": 'in I analysis, gave him the winning
Williams' defeat at the hands of
the tall, forceful stroking Australian,
Anderson, was due partly to the lat-'-i-'s
decisive and aggressive game and
lie former champion's errors. Yil-:
'iams had difficulty in handling Ander
s n's service and was also handicap
ped by his own propensity to shoot for
ui ace or nothing. Many of his re
turns when inside the lines were un
playable but numerous others were er
rors which, added to the Antipodean's
frequent placement shots, brought An
derson through to the fifth round.
In the other matches of the clay,

upsets or reversals.

tourists. Weather conditions were un

The President hoped to review the !

he could do better at golf than he
did yesterday at Southampton, where
he said: "Going out, I made eijrht
holes in 42; then I blew."
The President was invited to play
with members of the Senior Golf
Association, now engaged in a tourna
ment at Rye, New York, but in
sending his regrets, said:
"I suppose I can't help qualifying
as a senior, but I should like to
meet up with your members and give
them a demonstration that I am not
yet venerable, and, like all the rest
of you, have no intention of ever
being aged."

a fall through a hatchway. It was

From aboard the Mayflower came
word that the Presidential crui.se

Three destroyers accompanied the

IU BYE DeKEMER
America's Most Beautiful Woman
in
"HIE WAY WOMEN LOVE"
Adapted from the celebrated story,
"Iiehind fireen Portieres."
The suit, filed in circuit court in
December, 1920. after the bitter Illinois
Republican primary campaign of that
year, asks damages of $10,000,000, al
leging that published charges against
the financial part of Mayor William
Hale Thompson's administration had
impaired the city's credit and hampered
the conduct of municipal business. A
similar suit has ben filed against The
Chicago Daily News.
In each instance the city sued in its
corporate capacity.
Thirty-six news items or editorials,
published by Tin Tribune between June
15 and September 15, 1920, are cited
by the city attorneys as the basis for the
suit. Many of them declared flatly
that the citv was "broke." Others re
ferred to the use of scrip for paying j
city employes. In several instances it
was stated that the city treasury faced
a huge deficit and one item quoted
Lieut. Governor Oglesby. a candidate
for the Gubernatorial nomination, as
fixing this figure at $16,000,000.
There were also two excerpts from
other Illinois newspapers as reproduced
in The Tribune, one being taken from
The Kendall County Record and the
other from The Dixon Telegraph. Two
letters "to the editors" from Tribune
readers were also cited as among the
alleged ligelous publications.
None of these publications, the city's
declaration charged, was published with
good motives, but to promote the politi
cal and financial interests of the news
papers "and certain other persons and
corporations, especially certain public
utility corporations associated with thfe
defendant and acting in co-operation
with it." '
It was charged that the publications
were designed to give the impression
that the city was unworthy of credit
and that it would b? dangei-ous to in
vest in its bonds or enter into contracts
with it for the sale of materials, labor
or supplies.
LOAN NEGOTIATIONS
NOW ARE SUSPENDED
Buenos Aires, Sept. 15. Negotia
tions between tne Argentine flnvwn.
and American banking: institu
tions for a loan of $50,000,000 have
been suspended, it is learned in
authoritative quarters here. The fact
that these negotiations were in prog
ress has given rise during the past
few days to many conflicting rumors,
and recent violent' fluctuations in the
foreign exchange market here have
resulted.
THE A TERS
Tom Mix Back at Broadway.
Tom- Mix is coming to the Broad
way theater today for a three-day
stay in a picture called "After Your
Own Heart," and William Wallace
Cook, the well known author, has
put into it some features never be
fore attempted in stories of cowboy
life.
Ora Carew is Tom's leading wom
an in this picture, and the love
romance, which animates the hero
is said to be developed in an ex
ceedingly original way.
The picture is well put together
and every man and woman in it
had plenty to do in supporting this
speedy star.
William Wallace Cook, the author
of the story, apparently took a page
of his book of personal memories
of days on the range, and he ha3
interpolated an exceedingly pretty romance.
to
used
In addition, the author has put
into the story one of his theories
about hw ranches will be run in
the futtfre. . He has an airplane
help in the round-up. and autos
by, the cowboys.
From all reports "After Your Own
Heart" is a humdinger, as good as
any picture in which he has ever
appeared, if not a little better. This
story gives Mix something unprecedent
ed to do the use of airplanes and
autos as the latest additions to ranch
equipment. And it is no secret that
i Tom can drive a motor car as well
as he can ride a horse. In this
stroy, the author took an old water
hole between two ranches and from
the dispute over its possession wove a
stirring western picture and put into
it an intensely interesting romance.
This program is completed with
the showing of a snappy short come

"KEYHOLE REPORTER"
Greensboro. Sept- 15. Judge James
L. Webb Wednesday signed orders
making the tmeporary receivership
into which the Bank of Denton and the
Bank of Thomasville were placed last
week permanent. The temporary re
ceivers, J. Arthur Ross for the Denton
bank and T. J. Finch for the Thomas
ville institution, were made permanent
receivers and their bonds made at
the time of appointment as tempo
rary receivers were continued. Air.
Ross' bond is $100,000 and Mr. Finch's
bond is $200,000.
Wsen the temporary order was sign
ed last week Judge Webb ordered
attorneys for the two banks to ap
pear in Greensboro Wednesday after
noon at 2 o'clock to show cause why
the temporary order should not be
made permanent. No protest was
offered, ;-.nd Judge Webb signed the
permanent order.
The receivers appointed yesterday
were recommended last week by the
State Corporation Commission at the
same time that the recommendation
was made that the banks should go
into temporary receivership. A rather
heated fight took place between sev
eral factions in Davidson county at
that time in reference tp the men
named rereivers and it was thought
that a fight would probably be made
in Greensboro 5-esterday in naming
permanent receivers.
IMMIGRATION IS
NOT SUGGESTED
Both the United States and
Japan Hopeful of Direct
Settlement.
Tokio, Sept. 15. (By the Associated
Press.) Belief that immigration prob
lems will not be included in the agen
da of the conference of the limitation

The recent reprts that Japan had re

United States concerning the agenda
of the conference have been confirmed.
(It was announced from Washington
Wednesday that the United States had
suggested tc the other powers invited
to the disarmament and Pacific confer
ence a, tentative list oi subjects for
