Woman's State Championship in Golf
Won by Miss Congdon.
A New Worlds Record 10 Wagon
Made at Lexington Yesterday.

Yesterday the finals in the tournament
for the womens state golf championship
were played off and Miss Elizabeth A.
Congdon OF the Agawam Hunt club is
the champion OF Rhode Island for the
next year.
The day was decidedly unfavorable 10
anything like brilliant play because OF
the high winds that blew, but despite this
the champion played an excellent game
and fully deserved her victory. In the
qualifying round this player did not
come up 10 the expectations OF her
friends. but in every round since then
she has proven her championship form
by taking every contest And when she
won from Miss Brownell yesterday with
q score OF four up and three to play. she
without doubt settled her right TO cham
pionship OF lne state.
Miss Congdon's winning does not re-
feet at all on the style OF play exhibited
by Miss Brownell, for she played at up
hill contest with great showing. II was
a question OF unfavorable conditions that
made her lose. and as long as there was
any chance for success she played the
game for all II was worth.
The match started at about 2:30. and
quite a gallery followed the players
around proving the interest in the tour
nament though the entire list was small.
Miss Congdon started off by taking the
hrst hole. but the next went TO the
home player. The third hole was halved
IN FIVE. Miss Congdon then took two IN
succession in the excellent figures OF five
each. The next two were halved In good
figures considering the head wind. The
eighth hole went TO Miss Congdon In five
TO six, but Miss Brownell reduced the
lead by one in the ninth. which she took
in a boggy FIVE. This left Miss Congdon
two UP on the first round. On the start
OF the second. Miss Brownel scored an
excellent seven and the Agawam player
was only one hole to the good. She made
this two on the long eos-yard hole, how
ever. both players taking liberal num-
Der of strokes on account OF the fresh
breeze The 18th hole was halved In
five. and the 18th went 10 Miss Congdon
by a stroke. thus making her up and

cent style. and was dorrnte four. Both
got off good drives on the 18th. and were
on the green In four Miss Brownea
being 30 feet from the hole. and Miss
Congdon four. Miss Brownell ran down
her putt, but IL was unavailing, As her
opponent also holed hers and, halving
the hole, won the match by four up and

ALL RAIL IS CHEAPER

Present lake -four rate conditions in
Minneapolis may result in the more ex-
tensive use Of all rail routes for export
product. In July one of the milling COM
panies made test shipment for Liver.
pool all rail to New Orleans. The big cars
were filled to the fullest capacity and the
loads were not disturbed until they
reached the ships side on the gulf. The
shipment was a success in that tt demon

and cost of handling, that modern cars can
take -four to the ship side cfeaped than
~ can go possibly by the lakes. In other
words, some Of the millers, and perhaps
all OF them do not believe in lake and rail
transportation for flour all
SIT is stated that for some traffic rea-
son, however, rail lines do not seem to
want to meet the competition of the lake
carriers. Said one miller: II contend

An italian From Buffalo Who
Threatened to ''Squeal" on
~ Counterfeiters.

New, York, April 21.-Benedetto Mado-
mia, an Italian stonemason Of AZ Trenton
street, Buffalo, the father of five children
and suspected of being a. professional
passer of counterfeit money, was the man
whose body was found in an old sugar
barrel at Eleventh street and Avenue D
last Tuesday morning. 4
Five persons who knew Madonna well
identified the body, his brother in law, a
counterfeiter, now serving a term in Sing
Sing prison, recognized a photograph of
the body, and when other photographs
were shown to the dead mans wife in
Buffalo she said at once that 1t was her
husband -
The police have found motive for the
crime. Madonna came to New York from
Buffalo early this month to demand of the
gang Of counterfeiters that the property Of
his brother in-law, Giuseppe de%Priemo,t a
member of the gang, who was sent to Sing
Sing for three years last month for coun-
terfeiting, be turned over to him.
His demand was refused, so he went to
Sing Sing, had an interview with De Prize
mo and came back with enough evidence
to send every member Of the gang to Fpris-
on for counterfeiting. He attempted to
use this information as a club to force the
gang to disgorge the property Of De Prize
mo, was lured to some obscure place and
killed. - - - =. jzsgt :ss% ~. .

Washington, April 21-The Bristow
sleuths who are Investigating postoffice
department. scandals have unearthed a
secret order promulgated by General Su-
perintendent Machen of the free delivery,
which set aside one OF the standing pos
tai laws. The order required postmasters
to prepare and post in their offices lists
of all patrons of rural free delivery routes,
and those who made the discovery claim
that the order was made at the instance
OF large mail order houses who for years
nave sought to set aside postal laws
which provides that neither postmasters
nor members Of postmasters' families
may furnish lists of names Of persons
receiving mail at their offices. -
The inspectors have discovered that
the order in question was prepared in Mr..
Machen's office, under date of Dec. 10,
1902 1t was signed by First Assistant
postmaster General Wynne, who says he
af1xed his signature under a misappre-
henslon. 1t did not make it's appearance
In the correspondence division until Feb.
-, two months after it was signed. The
order has never been published in the

Such orders or notifications are general

tried IN vain to- secure "a repeal of the
rule prohibiting the publication of lists

The Other Arguments.

Thomas V. Cooper, a member Of the
legislature on behalf of the newspaper
owners, said that never since the adop-
ton of the constitution of 1873 had a bill
passed the legislature with only two read
ings as this libel bill passed. He related
the facts in connection with the consid-
Grafton of the bill in the house and said
the constitution had undoubtedly been
violated in passing the bill. .-
Cyrus G. Derr, attorney for the Read
ing Eagle, answered the argument ad-
vanced by Mr.. Simpson. He dwelt upon
the unconstitutionality of the proposed
law. He said a new feature is introduced
into the libel law by which negligence
is made equivalent to malice and this
feature he deemed most unwise. He ar
gued that the bill discriminates against
the newspapers of Pennsylvania in favor
of those printed in other states and cir
culated in this state.
