her about two hours. When the boats
reached City Island, they were strongly
anchored in the leeway west of Hart s
Island, where the matches were lat
tened down and the crew spent the
night below decks. 1t was said today
that the Columbia will remain in New

A MERRY DAY AT THE LINKS.
Snakes Invade Golf Grounds and N
Club Disbands.

PORT JERYIS, n. Y, Sept. 11.-At Ca
hoonzie, a summer resort in the mountains
about four miles back of Port Jeryis, the
visitors recently formed golf club known
as the Brookside Golf Association. Some
DAYS ago the sign, ITO the Golf Links, was
removed, and the association is now thing
of the past The club disbanded not because
OF lack of enthusiasm, but because OF the
number and variety of snakes which inter-
fered with the game. Mr.. z. Reymer, a
member Of the club, who was in town yes
terday, told the following story:
When the golf association was formed
we constructed an eighteen-hole course and
planned for tournament. During practice
the snakes, which are numerous there
abouts, evinced SO much interest in the
game that Charles Dedrick organized a
corps of snake wallopers in addition to the
usual coterie of caddies. The wallopers car
ried a collection of Indian clubs, baseball
bats. and sections OF fence rails.
'fThe Brookside Handicap opened auspi-
ciously with fine weather and large at
tendance. and the snake wallopers could be
observed ahead chasing the snakes, which
appeared TO have turned out In full force
to take in the match. Harry Lake got in
a bunch of alders and crawled in TO size
I'd the situation himself asshis caddie was
larruping a big blacksnake OF the course.
His yeils awoke the Rye postmaster and
excited the golfers. An investigation dis
closed three blacksnakes, two pilots, and
one large water snake, the latter having
swallowed the golf ball.
"Mr. Fryer, who had handicap of ten,
made a put with so much force that the
club few from his hands and sent Charles
Dedrick, the chief snake walloper, into the
land of nod for about an hour. Joe Me-
Guire. in making vicious swing at his
brassy, lost his footing and fell upon two
blacksnakes. II is alleged by his friends
that he smashed all standing records for
two miles, which was the distance to his
hotel The game was declared off, and at
subsequent meeting future contests were
| indefinitely postponed. cheap lot of golf
clubs is for sale and a man who can ex-
/ terminate snakes will be received with open
arms"

CONSUL LANGE's REMOVAL.
An Order ReIieveing Him VIII BE
Issued Soon.

An order for the removal of Louis
Lange. jr., United States Consul at Bremen,
Germany, will be issued soon. The resig-
nation of Theodore NJ Stephan, Vice and
Deputy Consul at the same place, has
been accepted. Charges against these two
officers caused the decision to remove Mr..
Lange and brought about Mr.. Stephans
resignation. Very little information on
the subject could be obtained at the State
Department yesterday. An investigation
vas made by the department, and it is
explained that the result left no alterna-
tive than to remove Mr.. Lange.
It is reported that the complaint against
Mr.. Lange and Mr.. Stephan involved their
Interpretation of the regulations describ-
ing the difference between official and un-
official fees Consular officers are per-
mitted to keep all unofficial fees, but must
turn in official fees to the United States
Treasury According to what was said
yesterday, Mr.. Lange construed certain fees
TO be unofficial, and kept them, contrary to
the departments Interpretation. Whether
Mr.. Stephan was involved in this cannot
be aseertained. He rendered his resigna-
tion some time ago. and it has been ac-
cepted. Last year the official fees of the
Bremen Consulate amounted to s4,0S0 and
the unofficial fees to S2,043. The Consurs
salary Is 50, 800 year
Mr.. Lange and Mr.. Stephan were ap-
pointed to the consular service from Illi-
nois. Both were born in this country. At
one time their positions were reversed
Stephan being Consul and Lange Vice Con-
sui at Annaberg, Germany. and Stephan
gave up the Annaberg consulate TO accept
a subordinate place with his former subor-
dinate.
