GOLF PLAYER
REPLIES TO CRITICISM
Horace Hutchinson Says Americans
Play According to Letter of
the Law.

LONDON. Nov Horace Hutchin-
son. a noted amateur golfer replies
this week 10 some Of the American
criticisms made upon a recent article of
his on the ethics Of golf in the United
States
Americans. I believe. writes Mr..
Hutchinson, play more strictly accord
ing to the letter of the law in all re-
spects than we do I made this observa-
ton recently. and some OF the Ameri-
can papers, perhaps not seeing the
whole article, read it as meaning that
1 considered American methods I'M
spOrtsmanlike. Their work is shown in
the application. not mine
I accused no one Of unsportsmanlile
conduct. but said ] believed Ameri-
cans played in strtcter accord with the
letter Of the law than we do. That be-
lief is wholly mistaken by the thunders
OF the American gOlhng press, for my
informant was a man who is well ae-
quaiuted with the best Of golf both here
and in America. and who has won the
American amateur championship. and
cannot see that this knowledge Of
golf on both sides is at all likely to be
IN possession Of any Of those that have
been AT pains to contradict nay state
mem.
It IS rather piquaat TO notice that in
the same article Mr. Hutchinson admits
that to play by strict rule is the only
way.

ing in three places
The incendiahes evidently thought
that the entire family were at the Mary

10 the fact that Charles E Ford. jr
and his sister. Mrs. Dunan. had not com
pleted their toilets and were thus de
layed in joining the family al the club
that the beautiful Lilacs is not a mass
OF ruins. Young Ford and his sister, by
the use Of fire extinguishers. managed
TO eXtinguish the blaze after a fight in
which both were painfully burned.
The attempt to burn Lilacs Is the sew
enth incendiary attempt in the neighbor-
hood within the last seven months. All
of the previous attempts had been made
on Saturday evening between and 8

Mr. Ford has offered a reward OF 81 900

DIVISION OF BUSINESS
Belief That a Territorial Settlement
Has Been Arranged by the
Magnates.
especial to The washington Times

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-The "Conmer-
cial Advertiser today prints the fol-
lowing:
1T was learned to6ey from high au-
thortty, that the disagreements that
nave existed between the Pennsylvania
Railroad and George J. Gould from
the time that the Western Union teIe-
graph poles were cut down along the
lines Of the railroad are settled. and
that cordial relations now exist be-
tween these two important financial in
terests.
During the past week there has been
increased activity in all the Gould
stocks led b. Missouri Pacific and the
Wabashes, and there has been large
buying Of Pennsylvania as well
1T is believed that basis of settlement
is the sharing of business in the Pitts
burg district. between the Pennsylvania
and the Goulds. who. with Che Wabash
extension into that section, now prac-
ticaily control all the rich tonnage that
has its origin there.
1T is quite well known IN financial
circles that the Rockefellers. who are
allied with the Goulds in almost all of
their railroad enterprises, within the
S5ast year have accumulated large
block of Pennsylvania stock

In some Instances men have had to
wait year before securing a patent
on lands they had taken mp because Of
the rush OF work in the Office. IN order
to enable the force to keep pace with
the work tie Commissioner asks that he
be granted two more examiners of min
