THE OMAJIA SUNDAY HKK: AUflURT 12. lOOfi. ( ( ( WD-WESI TENNIS TOURNEY CemmlUoet Hard t Work rime he for Entertiium nt of Viiit rs. GREAT GATHERING OF EXPERTS CLF.TAIN Entries Already In Assure Attend ance of Rent Cracks and aa tn asual Camber la Kipreted for Ols C lassie Week. Judging from the responses which have been received to date by the tennis com mittee of th Field club, the Middle West ton n la tournament for 1V0 will be the bet of the aerlea nt the Field club since the ! organisation of that claaatc. The commit tea hu been holding meeting during the Inst week to complete all arrangement for the comfort of the vlaitora at the tourna ment. The committee on prises, consisting of Toung, Kohn, Caldwell and Wood, u e committee on courts consisting of Young, the entertainment committee consisting of Martin. Collett. Hughes, Kohn and Cald well and the press committee consisting of. Wood. Young and Kofan have all organised and arc ready for business. More money will be expended for this tournament than for any yet held and an especial effort has been made to prepare for ratn, so the tournament may be finished up In week and not be compelled to drag M has the Kansaa City tournament which took nearly two weeks. To provide against rain the committee has bought n tarpaulin 100 by-fifty feet which will completely cover the tournament court and shut out the rain. This will keep the courts dry so play may be resumed In the morning or Immediately after a rain. The tarpaulin Is to be of eight ounce duck and then water" proofed. The committee has also bought a surface heater almllar to those used by the street pavers. This will dry off the courts after an ordinary shower. These extra precautions should make It possible to play off the tournament during the week in spite of any ordinary rains. Prises of Trmptln Value. The prises are of the highest standard and some are now on exhibition at the Field club. The club will expend IfiOO In real money and this Insure some prises worth playing for. This sum Is sufficient to get prises which wlfl exceed In value any yet offered in the west. The prises last season were of such high grade as to elicit the warm encomiums of all the old tournament players In attendance, who said they were the best prises of the year. These will be surpassed by those which are offered this summer. Of course, the value Of tha prises Is not the only Induce ment to a tennis man to play In one of these tournaments, but they go a long ways toward making Mm decide whether It la worth while to give up work for a week in a effort to have a good time. There now seems to be no doubt the tournament will be the largest and bent ever held In the west. Twenty-three en tries have already been received from oat-of-town players, and more are coming In every day. The fact of these early en tries Is taken as a good omen, for here tofore the entries have been held back until the last minute, but the reputation of the Field club has gone abroad In the 'land and players are anxious to attend. Entries., have already been received from Chicago, Galesburg. Bt. Joseph snd Kan sas City.. From 'Chicago will come Peters, Gardner and By ford. By ford Is the player who has twice this season defeated Hayes, the present middle west champion, and who defeated Waldrter In the single finals at Kenwood; Vernon.' Sheldon and Wilder have already sent their entries from Kan sss City, and the Sioux City crowd will send down a good Relegation. One of Year's Bis Events. The tournament will be held under the auspices of the United Btstes National . lawn Tennis association, and the rulea of that association will govern the play. The committee la especially anxious that the representatives from the tennis clubs of the state will be numerous. The Middle West Is recognised sll over the county as one of the big events of the year, and the committee would especially like to work up more of an Interest from the players of the state In the tournament. Borne of these player may think they are not of the caliber that would have a chance to , win In the tournament against the cracks Of the country, still there will be minor events In which they can compete and their entertslnment will be Just as gnod as that of the crack's. Here Is a chance for players of the state to take a little vacation and have the time of their Uvea for no palna will be a pa red to make their entertainment complete for the entire week. Several towns from the stste hove sent player up each year, but the committee would like to hear from many more.

Prettiest Course In Country. When the players assemable for the matches they will see one of the prettiest golf courses In the whole country. There may bo some to tie It for perfection of finish but none to excell. The course is pronounced by all who play It as a dulsy, and no golf course In the United States Is kept In better shape. The greens are per fect and the distance on the whole course Is fine. Several changes have been wrought In the course, necessitating the preparing of new acore cards. The circus ring on No. 7 is the talk of the town. From the top of Pike s Peak the drive Is 12S yards to the circus ring.

A.. 1612 Fajroam tit, Omaha SHONTS BACK FROM ZONE Chairman of Commission Diicnatet Labor Froblemi and Weather Conditicna. GOMPtRS DLNOUNCLS USE OF CHINESE Labor Leader nys Proposition to Import Celestials Is n Plain Violation of Federal -l.r-.vr. NEW YORK. Aug. 1 1. T. P. Shont. chairman, and Joseph B. Bishop, secretary of the Panama Canal commission, arrived here today from Colon on the steamer Panama. Mr. Shonta said that general conditions In the canal zone were favora ble and constantly Improving. "All we want," he declared, "Is more labor and less rain. The labor problem has been partly solved by the employ ment of Spanish workmen. We have also advertised for Chinese laborers. Yellov fever has not appeared in a long time and for the nine days previous to my departure no smallpox was prevalent." Mr. Shonts said that the enginecr'ng work on the canal was now well under way. Mr. Shonts said the West Indian negro labor had been very unsatisfactory, adding: "We can only get a 60 per cent efficiency out of the negro workmen. "A man has already been sent to Spain to secure Spanish labor. We want to get from 8paln about 500 men a month to make up the loss In the working force and to bring the force up. We want the sturdy laborers from tho north of Spain and we expect to get them. Will Advertise for Chinese. "Within a very few weeks advertisements will be published calling for 2,600 Chinese laborers. The commission Is In favor of this class of labor and the present lot will be In the nature of an experiment. But It Is possible that a large force of Chlncsj will be at work on the Isthmus. The work of preparing the contract will be slow,, for we must comply with the laws. In Hie contracts there must be no appearance of involuntary servitude, the local laws must all be complied with and the treaty regula tions must be obeyed. "Chief Engineer Stevens nnd myself have handled Chinese labor and we found the men all right. They do the work and that Is the principal object. We aim to get the strong, husky laborers from the rice fields of southern China. The Importation of Chinese labor does not come under the con tract law." Mr. Shonts said that he may see the pres ident at Oyster Bay. (inmprri Objects to Coolie l abor. WASHINGTON. Aug. ll.-Samuel Gom pers, president of the American Federation of Labor, today Issued a statement con cerning the action of the Isthmian Canal commission In deciding to introduce Chinese coolie labor to the work of constructing the canal across the Isthmus of Panama. The statement Is as follows: It seems that those In charge of the Panama canal construction have regard for neither law nor principle. Tlrst, In the most extraordinary manner, the eight-hour law Is nnnulcd In the greatest public work ever undertaken by the government under the pretense that conditions uhere are different than In tho -Cnitcd States. It must appeal to the veriest tyro that if eight hours work is regarded as sufficient In the comparatively temperate zone of the I'nlted States certainly ten, eleven and even more hours of labor a day In the festllentlal and miasmatic atmosphere of he Panama sone are not only Improper but outrageous and brutal. The existing law excludes Chinese labor ers and coolies from the I'nlted States or sny of Its possessions. The Panama canal zone la an American possession and It Is as much a violation of the law to bring Chi nese coolies there as It Is in other portions of our country. Some time ago In an Interview I had with Chairman Shonts I protested against the employment of Chinese coolies in the Panama canal construction as had been published in the newspapers It was the In tention of Mr. Shonts to do. He there and then emphatically stated that It was not the Intention then to employ Chinese coolies and they would not be employed under his administration. ShoulM HCiillrs to (iompers. Mr. Shonts tonight gave out the follow ing statement with regard to a statement lsued In Washington today by PreelUt nt Uompers of tilt American Federation of Labor: The eight-hour law does not apply to un skilled labor on the isthmus ot Panama. llie entire pi t sent unskilled labor force is alien. We cannot secure this class of un sullied labor from the United States. lt is therefore not aevn why a law passcu In the interest of American labor at home should be made applicable to alien laborers who probably never heard of Its existence. Its application would have Increased the labor cost or the canal several minion dinars. The American laborer In this country would have to pay his share of the conse quent increased taxation without any com pensating benefit to himself. At the time of mv Interview with Mr, Gompers, In dlwusslng the eight-hour law, aside from what 1 have already said, I stated that my understanding of the rea son for the enactment of the eight-hour law In this country was primarily to give to tne highest type of labor In the woria longer hours for mental recreation ana improve mwnt hut that with the lowest class of la bor as at I'anama It was more helpful and Improving, more In their Interests and more an act of kindness thnn otherwise, to per mit them to work ten hours a day and Jay them for it because they are paid by the As to the statement of Mr. Gompers that the existing law excludes Chinese laborers and coolies from the United Slates or any of its possessions. The Panama canal sone Is an Amercian poasesslon und it Is as much a violation of the law to bring Chinese .coolies there as in other portions of our country. I can only say tne com mission has secured the opinion of the highest 1 Kill authorities of the govern, merit. It has been held that such law does not apply to the canal zone. The law ex cluding Chinese from the United States and Its possessions was passed in March, 1H03, and specifically set forth that such laws should only be applicable to territory at that time, subject to tho authorities of the United States. The canal zone was ac quired subsequent to that date and con gress has not extended its provision so as to embrace the canal zone. The canal must be dug and the first re quisite Is to have labor to dig It. We do not believe It wist or economical to depend only on the West Indian negroes. We can not secure the unskilled lalxir In sufficient volume from the United States. It is not therefore not in competition to our own labor and any agreement entered Into will provide for the return of Chinese direct to China upon the completion of service on the canal work. In conversation with Mr. Gompers, the well known views of Mr. Shonts as to labor on tho isthmus, both with respect to the possibility of the futuro employment of Chinese and otherwise, were practically set forth ss above and any contrary un derstanding must have been due to a mis apprehension of his position.
