Chicago, Oct. 6.-The grand jury voted
two indictments against Robert Burt. oil
inspector, charging imbezzlement of funds
OF his Office to the extend Of $4,000.
Several days ago representatives OF the
Standard Oil company told the grand jury
that they paid as fees to Mr.. Burt, in his
capacity as oil inspector, certain sums Of
money which the grand jury could not
find in the inspectors accounts with the
city.
Burt is chairman of the democratic
county central committee, and is regarded
as the closest political friend Of Mayor
Harrison. Strong efforts were made dur
ing the day by Burt and his friends to
prevent his indictment. Burt, before the
indictments were returned, paid into the
office of the city treasurer $4,000 to cover
any shortage that might be found in his
accounts.
Mr.. Burt said at midnight
"They indicted me after l made good
the shortage claimed. Until today did
not know just how the books in the
office stood. Ever since l took charge Of
the office four years ago the chief deputy
attended to the making out of the re-
ports. As soon as l learned that there
was a shortage OF something like $4,000
turned in $4,000 to the treasurer's Of
fice.'

was discovered by the Greek astronomer

The Julian period is formed by multi

THE AGE OF COLE.
The Royal Game FIourfshed Three
Centuries Ago.


OF all the sports which have grown ard
fourished in the last few years of the
nineteenth century, golf takes leading
place. The popularity 1t has earned is
little less than surprising, and its devel-
opment has been such that 1t would be
hard to recognize il as the same sport
which fourished In Scotland more than a
hundred years ago. Although golf las
only become an almost universal past
within the last few years. it is well known
that the game has been played in Scot
land for considerably more than a cen
tury. The Honorable the Edinburgh Com
pany of Golfers dates back to l744, the
Royal and Ancient Golf Club Of St. An
drew's to 1854, and the Royal Musselburgh
Golf Club to I774. But there is a golf
club south of the Tweed which claims TO
have more ancient records than any of
the Scottish clubs.
The Royal Blackheath Golf Club was In
stituted In 1908. and was until quite re-
cent times one of the very few golf clubs
in England. Even as late as 1879 there
were only seventeen golf clubs out Of
Scotland. Thirty years ago the golfers on
Blackheaih, with their red coats, were
regarded by the schoolboys and young men
in the neighborhod as old buffers who were
too old for cricket, and golf was looked
upon with something AKIN 10 contempt
The men who played and the caddies with
red flags, who had the appearance Of warn
ing the passer-by Of the approach of a
traction engine, were curiosities in the
eyes of all young people. How different
is the view taken of golf today. Every one
plays, and the golfers of a century back
would require a long handicap from a crack
player Of today.
Judging from the number of players who
are planning to go South this month. The
golf tournaments there this winter will
prove the most attractive ever held A
special feature of the season on the West
coast this year will be a professional
tournament of thirty-siX holes in the lat
ter part of the month. There is also a
strong probability that an organization
will be formed among some of the leading
clubs OF Georgia and Tennessee having in
view similar object. Among the organi-
cations already pledged to the project are
those of Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville,
Chattanooga, and Knoxville. 1t is said
that special inducements will be made
to secure the presence OF Northern play

Jack Hamilton.


Jack Hamilton.
HARTFORD, Conn. Jan There were
two knockouts and disqualification on
account of fouls as a result of the fights
before the Crescent Athletic Club in the
Coliseum this afternoon. Charley White,
of New York, was the referee. The prin-
cipsl bout was between Jack Hamilton, OF

as his opponent, but evidently a clever
fighter.
He blocks we'll is quick on his feet and
shows good headwork. but after the first
round or so his blows lacked steam and
he became much less aggressive than at
the start. He claimed to have injured his
right hand in a fall in the early part of
the contest. Throughout the fight he
seemed to rely on his hard left hand
swings.
Hamilton took Jones' blows without
fiinching. kept perfectly cool and rained
in hard knocks on the other mans wind,
and in the fifth round placed a stiff right

He got up, however, on the ninth count,

by Magistrate Flammer without bail to
await examination next Friday. He ad-

but had TO sit down on the curbstone.
Higgins wanted lyman to go home but
Calnon insisted on leaving him where he
was. From this trivial cause the two
boys, hitherto fast friends, got to cursing
each other, and finally they went into a
nearby saloon aud continued the fight
Close TO Higgins was a free-iunch coun-

gins seized the knife and as Calnon ran
up, plunged II nearly to the handle in the
others breast. Then he turned and ran
out of the saloon. Cslnon started to fol-
low, but fell in a heap. Higgins ran on
until he met Policeman Gaynor, to whom
he gave himself up. Calnon died before
an ambulance arrived.
Higgins was arraigned in the Jefferson
Market Police Court today charged with
homicide and was held till Friday next.
Higgins had nothing to say. A rumor
that the boys were both in love with a
truckman's daughter, and that the stab
bing was the result of iIl-feeling between
them, was denied by friends OF both boys.
Higgins himself said that the story was
not true, and that he and Calnon had been
the best Of friends.
