Reports thnt Hart had agreed te a

He added that a complete settlement

The meeting occurred nt the home
of Mrs. Hart's mother in Santa Mon Men
ica, a suburb where Mrs, Hart went
after she and her husband hnd sepa

It was Hart's first view of his son,

and asked te see the child. An the'babe
could net be tnken outside the house
Hnrt was invited inside.
"I tell ypu honestly, I believe that
Iltlle fellow' was glad te sce me." said

He laughed and giggled, We lied a

When he gets big he Is going te be a

The Gnnlntr xrfts seized In Snlte of
the fact that she Is of British registry
ami Trnii ua.TfJ miles off shore, accord
ing te the leg of Captain M. 0. Betts.
The ship is ene of the largest yet
seized by the New Yerk "prohibition
navy." Cnptnln Betts is said te have
admitted that it was in the whisky
carrying business, but only between
British ports. He denied that he .has
landed cargoes en American shores or
engaged in "bootlegging."
The raiders seized mere than ,100
rnses nf Hener nnd S56.000 in cold.
Captain Belts said that the geld was
for the purchase of u new cargo of liq
uor at Nassau, Bahama Islands. He
exrtlained thnt the 100 cases were re
jected by a purchaser who took 4000
cases. He has sold the liquor, he said,
In Neva Scotia. He was taking what
wns left back te Nassau, he paid.
When the "prohibition navv" inter
cepted him at night. Captain Butts
said, he thought at first that he was
about te be held up by rum pirates. He
elenred his ship for action and wns
ready te run the prohibition beat down
when the men aboard the smaller craft
turned their searchlight en their own
beet se he could Identify it. He then
allowed them te beard.
Prohibition agents are still working
Industriously nt Atlantic City te find
the hiding place of a cargo of 280 cases
of Scotch worth $30,000, successfully
landed near the retort from a schooner
which the rum-runners then abandoned.
The Mhoener was found near the Inlet.
The crew managed te get their valuable
commodity ashore in spite of raiders'
efforts. The Government men were
working en a tip, but failed te make
their descent in time.
The enforcement men have sworn out
warrants for the officers and crew of
the nbondened schooner, but have net
an yet found either the hidden whisky
or the hiding men.

te.nnLs champion, wen the first set of
his match with Zenzo Sliimlzu, the

the semifinal this afternoon en the
courts of the Germantown Cricket Club.

By EDWIN J. POLLOCK
America made its stand against the
invasion of foreign players In the fifth
round of the Xatlennl Lawn Tennis
Chnmplenshlp nt the Germantown
Cricket Club today. Four matches will
be played during the afternoon, nnd
every one of them is international.
"Bib Bill" Tilden wns the first of
the United States defender! te oppose
a foreigner. Ah 1 o'clock, he went en
one of the center courts ngnlnbt Zenzo
Shimldzu, the crafty biie-liiie general
frprn Japan.
The American champion was nervous
and highly excitable this morning, but
this wns because he held a "grand
Blam" hand In mictien bridge in the
clubhouse before the match btarted.
"Hew's your game?" he was abked.
"Oh, great," he replied. ".lust had
n wonderful run in hearts from the
ace down te the seven. Never played
better in my life."
Tilden Is one nf these cool athletes
who nfver get ruffled. One would im
agine be wns going te be a spectator,
judging from the nonchalance he dis
played this morning.
"Big Bill" has opposed the Japnnese
star en several eccasjans, and, although
he has been forced te hit best, he has
been able te pull through with vic
tories. Last year, In the Davis Cup
challenge round, the wee Oriental
player drove Tilden te five sets, and
had him within mntch point, but, In
the 1021 nntiennls, the Japanese was
smothered In straight sets.
Again, the crowd started te arrive
early, and, when the match started,
there were several thousand persons In
the stands. There were close te 10,000
persons, present yesterday, and Indlca Indlca
tieiu pointed te a large gathering to
day. Tilden was the first player te ap

tional white flannels, nnd his Interna
