While the total registration for the first day was not up to expectations, it exceeded the predictions of the politicians, who had been claiming there was an unprecedented lethargy among the voters.

To the total of nearly 130,000 already registered, it is the aim of the leaders of the movement for better municipal management to have this number greatly exceeded on Tuesday next, the second registration oay, so that oh the final day for registration. Saturday, September 10, there will be a possibility of bringing th total for the three days up to the half-million mark. The supporters of the Voters' League, as well as the Republican ward leaders back of the so-called harmony ticket, are putting forth every effort to get out the voters whom they believe will help nominate their respective favorites. The Voters' League yesterday issued this call: A Call to Action "To the mx hundred thousand men and women who are eligible to go to the iKlis and register as voters, the Voters' League wi-bes to say: "Remember 1017 and the events surrounding the Fifth ward murder. "In liUT practically the same condi tions prevailed as at the present time, the weatiier was warm on tne registration days, thousands of citizens were at summer resorts and the electorate generally failed to respond as ihey thould have to the call of the various azencics working for a larpc registration.

As a result, the registration on the three days totaled only 273.012 out of 373.000 who were on the assessment lists. the primarv election day came iroud. Detective Eppley was murdered by gunmen, who had been imported into the Fifth ward, for political trrorization.

Secretary of State Hughes has dispatched a new note to the Allied governments on the subject of American rights in mandates. While information is withheld regarding the text, the note is understood to insist upon recognition of the "open door" in mandated territory. This being the case, it is assumed thei new note deals primarily with the Mesopotamia issue. Secretary Hughes is understood to have strongly urged that the draft of mandates be amended to include defi-nate recognition on the ground thaf the United States is clearly entitled to equal treatment with theAllied Powers in mandated territory, the Treaty of Versailles not contemplating that the natural resources of such territory be held or developed exclusively by the mandatory power. This is substantially in line with the contention of the Wilson administration in its original Mcsopotamian note.

In fact from the outset the Wilson administration insisted that the Treaty did not authorize any mandatory power to build a' fence around the territory turned over to it in trust and keep Americans and others on the outside. Exception also was taken to the-Anglo-French agrepment for the diver sion of tiie oil produced in Mespotamia. it is understood Secretary Hughs is willing to let this stand door" provision is the mandate form. provided an written into League Hopes to Satisfy U. 9.

GENEVA, Sept. 3 (By the Associated Press). The extent to which the Washington conference in November occupies the attention of those participating in the work of the League of Nations here was demonstrated today during the discussion on disarmament and amendment to the Covenant, while hope of satisfying the United States on mandates was reflected in the Council's consideration of the American reply to the principal Powers on that question. The note from Washington was not officially before the Council, but the representatives of Great Britain. France, Japan and Italy have the text of the note, the substance.

of which was known to thewhole Council, and after reviewing the main features all agreed that progress had been made toward a satisfactory settlement. Ihe ashington conference was re ferred to by M. Nobiemaire, the French delegate to the Amendments Commission, who took the ground that revision of the pact should be discussed Washington with the representative's of the United States before anything should be done to prejudice the ques tion. The Council, however, decided to proceed with the consideration of the amendments. The Council rejected the Canadian proposition to eliminate Article and adopted a suggestion by Arthur J.

Balfour, one of the English delegates, to appoint a committee to draft texts modifying Article so as to remove the obligation of members to participate in military action to guarantee the territory of other members.

Additional Weather Report oa Page 2 0 MINERS ELD Washburn and Williams Win Doubles by Taking 3 Out of 4 Sets Kumagae and Shimidzu Put Up Desperate Fight Before Succumbing BY PERRY LEWIS FOREST HILLS, L. L. N. Sept.

3. The Davis Tennis Cap, greatest of all international athletic trophies, will remain in the United States at least Lanother year. For today, on the courts of the "West Side Tennis Club, while a capacity crowd of more than 15,000 persons shook the spacious stands with their approval of it all, the renowned R. Norris Williams, 2d, once of Philadelphia, now of Boston, teamed with Watson M. Washburn, pride of New and completed what the two "Bills," Johnston and Tilden, started so auspiciously yesterday.

No Davis Cup tennis match was ever played under more difficult conditions. At the end of the third set with the Americans leading 2 sets to 1, a terrific wind and rain storm not only drove the army of spectators to cover, but swept the players from the courts and it was two hours before the action was renewed. Then WTilliams and "Watty" Wash burn, as he is affectionately called by court devotees, proceeded totaly to blot out the peril of the East by soundly trouncing Ichiya Rumagae and Zenzo Shimidzu, the Japanese tennis aces, in the only doubles match of the competition in four sets. The scores were 6-2, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5. Thus the United States team snatched the third point of the challenge round, which combined with th victories of Tilden and Johnston Friday, gives Uncle Sam the odd credit which assures the venerable gentleman possession of the cup for another year.

On Monday Tilden will meet Kumagae. and Johnston will cross racquets with Shimidzu, the wily Nipponez. who all but smashed Tilden yesterday in the final singles matches of the series, but even though both invaders win. which is a remote possibility, the trophy stays here. America Rules Tennis World In this manner has America's tennis mastery of the world been established.

Taking the cup last from Australia, where it had rested since 1914, by a margin of five points to none, the United States team this year overwhelmed the Japs, who had established their right to challenge by surviving in an elimination contest, which included teams of twelve nations, for the tennis domain is washed by the seven seas. The cash, customers got a brilliant match which scintillated with wonderful shots by all of the contestants, but that isn't all they got. They got wet, they got worse than wet they got saturated. In the middle of the third set ominous storm clouds gathered in the west. The players finished out that set to the acom-paniment of thunder clashes and flashes of lightning.

It is a fine commentary on the hold which tennis has taken on the people that not more than a hundred of that 3 5.000 heeded the on coming storm. Instead, they remained in their seats and rooted for their fa-vorites to beat the approaching storm as well as the Japs and end the thing before the btorm King worked his wrath on the njultitude. But they waited in vain. The men of Nippon were out there offering as pyrotechnic a spectacle on the courts as Jupiter Pluvius was in the heavens. The invaders realized that their only hope was to take that third set before the storm broke, ana they fought for it like fiends.

And in, order to do it Continued on 19th Page, 4th Column CONFERENCE TO FIGHT PENNA. HARD COAL TAX Massachusetts Attorney General Issues Call to New York and New Enaland BOSTON, Sept, 3. In a letter addressed to the Attorneys General of the New England States and New York, Attorney General J. Weston Allen today requested a conference to deal with the new Pennsylvania tax on anthracite coal, which he estimated would cost the people of Massachusetts an additional $1,000,000 a year. The Attorney General pointed out that "60 per cent, of the anthracite coal mined in Pennsylvania was used in the New England States and New Tork, and that the tax would be passed on to the consumer.

He also intimated that retail dealers would be able to impose an increase in price beyond that which would cover the tax.

Other Lest and Found Ads en Page 3 II the Classified Ad Sectloa Robbery Apparently Motivej But Police Without Any Clues as to Slayer A man and wife, Louis and Fannie aged keepers of a small grocery store, at 523 South Randolph street, were brutally beaten to death yesterday in the stuffy front room of their establishment while scores of neighbors and children sat about on the doorsteps without hearing a sound of the struggle. Their terribly mutilated bodies were discovered in the store fifteen minutes before noon. The woman's throat was cut from ear to ear; her skull was battered in by a terrific blow from a brick; deep knife wounds had been inflicted on her face and body, and part of one ear was torn off while the thief or thieves were matching at a valuable diamond earring. The man was almost as horribly mutilated. Apparently he was beaten with a heavy brass candelabra, after first being struck down with a brick.

When his body was turned over a long iron poker was found in his left hand, mute evidence of the fight he put up before he was overcome. The arm was twisted in back of him and then evidently he was struck down. Police believe the double murder was the work of one man. A new pair of cheap canvas gloves was found in the place. One dr them was soaked with blood, the other had but a few marks on it.

These destroyed whatever possible clue to the identity of the murderer there might have been obtained from finger-prints. Robbery Was Motive of Crime The condition of the bodies and their clothing proved that the motive of the gruesome crime was robbery. Mrs. Wel-ienbach wore a money belt in which, according to friends, she carried small change. Her clothing was partially torn away, so that the thief could reach this and the belt was ripped from her body.

Wellenbach's trousers were slit to the hip in the search for secret pockets, and all of his pockets were turned inside out. When Wellenbach's body was searched at the morgue, however, the sum of $17.50 was found. Police also picked up one of the diamond earrings that had been torn from his wife's head, lying near the body where it had been dropped, evidently by the thieves. After the bodies had been taken away police spent four hours grilling three other occupmts of the South Randolph street house, who had rooms in the upper floor. They also questioned a number of small hoys, who had been heard to say that they saw a ngro going into the store between 10 o'clock and noon.

But all the questioning failed to elicit any information as to. the identity of the murderer. When one of the boys, Samuel Cohen, 0 years old. was being taken into the Third and Delancey streets police station a woman ran up and shouted at him. "Say nothing or they will cut you up too." Police grilled the lad for nearly an hour and finally became convinced that lie knew nothing about the crime.
