I Atkinson, Says
Made No Offer of ,
Money to Witness
Red Oak, ii., Dec. 8. (Special Tel
egram.) James Atkinson of Stanton
testified this morning in the Jones
Wilkerson $60,000 damage suit, rela
tive to the automobile trip to Villisca
Monday evening of1 this week with
Mrs. Alice Willard, about which she
testified yesterday and on which trio
she declared that Atkinson offered her4
?Z,000 and said she would be taken
care of the rest of her life if she would
change her testimony about seeing F.
F Jones, W. B. McCaull, William
Mansfield and one other man in the
vacant lot north of the Joe Moore
home the night before the murder, and
heard them plotting the murder.
In his testimony today Atkinson
said that the automobile trip was made
at Mrs. Willard's request in order that
she might talk with him about the
testimony she gave early in the trial.
She told him. according to his testi
mony, that she was pretty sure that
she saw and heard these men, but she
could be mistaken; tha't she had at
tended the trial right along and she
could see no direct evidence against
Jones except hers and she would not
want him to be convicted on her evi
dence alone, and that she afterward
asked him if he thought it possible
for her to go on the witness stand and
say she was not sure.
Atkinson said he told Mrs. Willard
if she was sure of what she saw and
heard to stick to it. and if not she
should get in the clear. He denied
that he offered her any money to
change her testimony.
F. F. Jones was called to the stand
and he declared that he had not of
fered or authorized anybody to offer
Mrs. Willard any money to change
her testimony. t

Tennis Rating
Committee Will
Spring Surprises
New York, Dec. 8. Lawn tennis
experts predict many surprises in the
report of- the ranking committee sub
mitted at the annual meeting of the
executive committee of the United
States Lawn Tennis association here
today. It wiN be made public some
time tomorrow.
The problem of proper rating has
proved greater than ever before.
Opinion is almost unanimous, how
ever, as to the first tour who will
head the list. The crown is gener
ally given to Richard No'rris Wil
liams II, the champion, with William
M. Johnston second. Third place is
likewise conceded to either Robert
Lindley Murray or George M.
Church. Whichever one is chosen
by the committee the other will prob
ably follow in fourth place. If lchiya
Kumagae, the Japanese star, proves
eligible for rating he will no doubt
be awarded a high place.
In the women's ranking, which was
made .up by a committee of women
and submitted to the ranking com
mittee of the tcn'iis association, the
same chaos is said to exist. Bt4
Miss Molla Bjurstcdt is generally
regarded as entitled to lead the list.
Aside from passing upon the report
of the ranking committee, several
problems relating to the game will be
acted upt i by the executive committee.

The Like of Which is Beyond CompaHson
There are thousands of men right here in

I am going to make one decisive demonstra

inclined to be a wee bit skeptical that my
shirts are truly mjusual for the little prices
ask.
To those who have attended my shirt sales
in the past, I need make no apologies. They

One Minute
Quality Talk
Why do we emphasize the
fact that Rochester, N. Y.

These clothes are not jammed
through in lots of a thousand.
Each garment is hand-tailored,
and comes to you with the in
dividuality clothes should have.
These clothes are the pro
ducts of journeymen tailors,
not machines; of human skill,
not of a system that puts quan
tity ahead of quality. The
Greater Nebraska is the largest
western distributor for these
master-tailor productions.
