good tennis-was played.
The four players who remained

succumbed in the quarter-finals,
after staging a brilliant fight to
remain in the running.
Eric V. .Hauser, who registred
a surprise victory yesterday, and
bolstered Oregon's hopes, fell to
day before the magical racquet of
John -Kisso. A. D. Norris, Port
land, suffered defeat by J. K.
Ruscher, Los Angeles.
The outstanding feature of the
day's matches was the play of Ria
so. University of California play
er, seeded at No. 1. Hisso has but
one arm, but he overcame the dif
ficulty to a remarkable extent.
. He captured two matches today,
defeating Herbert Su'hr, San Fran

G-2, 6-4.
"Risso will play Sherman Lock

Those Favoring Indepen
dence Present "Only an
Ideal" He Asserts
WASHINGTON. July 7. (AP)
Administrative control of the
Philippine islands should remain
with the war department, rather
than, be transferred to the interior
department, in. the opinion of
Governor-General Wood,! here on
leave.
The general expressed his view
after-a conference with Secretary
Davis 'andVaJor General Frank
Mclntyre, chief of the bureau of
insular affairs. Transfer of the
islands ttthe interior department
has the endorsement of President
Coolidge.
"I hope the administration will
see fit to retain the Philippines
under the jurisdiction of the war
department." he said. "The gov
ernment there is of such nature as
to demand the backing of a de
partment with the necessary
strength to carry out its aims."
Referring" to desire of the
islands for independence, the gen
eral said that was the ultimate
goal also of the American govern
ment, but he could not say when
It would be reached. Those in the
islands favoring Independence, he
said,' had' placed "only an ideal,
an utopianXdream, before the peo
ple," and : had ' failed to explain
that -the result would be higher
taxes' and reduced trade. '
General Wood urged that atten
tion .be given to the possibility pf
rubber culture in the islands and
the prospect that the Philippines
might .become important shippers
of fruit' to the United States. i
- He told his chiefs. at the war de
partment that conditions in the
islands ' were peaceful and that
only oocaslonhl breaks occur, be-.
tween 'the Christians and Moros,
but which arc :MlikeIy to be con
tinued for,yjBi,rs to come." -

tomorrow, it
was announced today by C. O.
Birgen, traffic manager of the
Spokane Merchants' association,
which applied for the reduction.
While Spokane may not receive
continuous benefit from the rate
reduction by a large increase in
cattle .receipts, is the opinion of
Ray D. Rarrer, manager of the
Spokane ' Union stockyards that
the Spokane market will Receive
larger shipments when the supply
of 'cattle is short here, with a
plentiful supply at Portland.
"Portland was favored under
the old rates," Birgen stated, "and
the reduction gives Spokane by
the same rate mile for mile."
The" reduction is on branch line
rates only, as the main line rates
were already on the same basis
for Spokane and Portland, he said.
