For ‘Unshapely’ Men
CHICAGO, July 28.—A legal fight
was started to-day by Dr. Rosalie M.
Ladova, who was arrested at a park
bathing beach because she appeared
in a Sunday afternoon crowd of
swimmers in bloomers.
“Women can not swim well in
skirts,” said Dr. Ladova to-day.
“Their figures are rounded so that
they do not need as thorough cov
ering as men. Men bathers go about
almost naked. Their hideous figures
should be covered from their necks
to their toes. They should be com
pelled to wear the skirts.”

WIMBLEDON. ENGLAND, July 28
The Davis trophy, the most sought-
for cup in the tennis world, which has
been away from the United States
since 1903, will come back to America.
The United States team, after beat
ing the Australians* in the preliminary
games in New York last June and
working their way up to the chal
lenge round by defeating the German
and Canadian teams in England, to
day won the trophy for the United
States by defeating the English de
fenders.
Maurice E. McLoughlin, the young
Californian, brought victory to his
country' by defeating C. P. Dixon in
three straight sets in the single match
to-day. Although his service was
faulty at the beginning of the match
to-day, McLoughlin soon got into his
stride. *
He won the first set after a hard-
fought set-to. the score being 8-6.
From then on the issue was never
in doubt, the American proving him
self the master of the Englishman ai
all stages of the second and third
sets, winning the former 6-3 and the
latter 6-2.
The match for the trophy began on
FTfiday, when McLoughlin was defeat
ed by J. C. Parke, the Irish coampion
R. Norris Williams, of Philadelphia
evened up matters when he defeated
Dixon in the other single match tha
day.
Saturday the Americans jumped
into the foreground, when McLough
lin and Harold H. Hacket, the doubie
team, defeated Dixon and H. Roper
Barrett.
McLoughlin’s play, which was a lit
tie off color on Friday, was much im
proved Saturday and to-day. His in
dividual skill did much to bring the
cup back to America.
In the semi-flnal game between
Parks and Williams, the Englishman
won after a hard match of five sets.
The score: 6-2, 5-7, 5-7, 6-4. 6-2. This
defeat did not have any bearing on
the general result.

is not a boy or girl in the race who ran
not w'ell afford to put every effort into
the work for this brief, final spurt.”
Some May Be Disappointed.
When the contestants come into the
office, the contest manager gets an
excellent line on their ideas. Some
times they are amusing. There are
several beys and girls who were lead
ing a w’eek ago by good margins.
Strangely enough, in spite of repeated
warnings, these youngsters will not
believe that they are behind now.
This is the attitude which will bring
bitter disappointment when the final
standings are published next Sunday,
and the winners announced.
One feature of the contest upor
which little stress has been put is the
fact that the boy or girl who gets
the greatest total of votes has first
choice af all twenty-two ponies, and
so on down the list. For the ambi
tious lad it is not enough to win in
his district. He wants also to get one
of the first selections from the herd
of twenty-two Shetlands.
No Apathy in Country.
True, it may happen that the very’
last pony may suit the very last con
testant to perfection. But, again, the
chances are it will not.
There is no apathy in the country
districts. The work done by the con
testants outside of Atlanta is re
markable.
The ponies were to have been pa
raded Sunday, but the weather was
not propitious. If the weather does
not agair interfere the ponies will be
shown in the business section of At
lanta Wednesday morning at 10
o’clock.

tured Monday’s .session of the House,
Judge Picquett winning in his efforts
to have it referred to the Committee

civil war the courts are actually

Constitution Paramount.
Martial rule is employed when force

law is unable to perform Its functions,
the military b^ing on the spot to ex

The men responsible for this atroci
ty were tried by a court-martial and

Courts-martial may try offenses
committed in violation of the military-
law. as above defined, but acts done in

DALTON. July 28.—At an early
hour this morning the posse organized
to hunt down Clem Poole, who near
midnight shot and killed Policeman
Harry Cook while the officer was at
tempting to arrest him. disbanded,
the search being fruitless.
Poole last night shot twice at his
wife as he followed her to the home
of her parents on First avenue. There
Policeman Cook met him. As the
officer advanced, Poole fired, the bul
let piercing the po.iceman’s heart and
bringing instant death. Henry Mitch
ell, accompanying tue officer, grabbed
the weapon from Poole, but he es
caped. Bloodhounds trailed the fugi
tive for a time and then lost the

The murder has greatly aroused
Dalton, for Policeman Cook was .i
popular member of the force. He is
survived by his wife. A reward of
$100 has been offered by the city for
Poole’s capture.
