Pullinger. His story of being tackled
by unshadowy forms, with highly sub
stantiaI fists and fingernails, was cor
roborated by Detective Mccarthy. AS
a result Rowland was held In $1,100

under false pretenses and assaulting

We paid one dollar to make ourselves

Hoagland held up a white china silk

AMERICAN WOMEN GOLFERS
Welcomed on Their Merits Among the
Best Players Of Their Sex
in the World.

The American woman has made her
way in golf as in everything else she
has undertaken. 1t was very short
time ago that she began to play the
royal and ancient game. At first she
was given toy links Of her own. Then
she was admitted to the regulation
courses on sufferance, Now she is well
coined ON her merits as a golfer. In fact,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the best
Of the women players can give sound
beating to all but the best Of the men
players.
Not only that, but the woman golfer
has arrived at the dignity Of book of
instruction of her own. Hitherto the
golf books have been written by men
for men. Now Genevieve Hecker, the
national woman champion (now Mrs.
Charles T. Stout, has written "Golf for
Women" The work also contains a
ehapter on Impressions OF American
Golf" by Rhona K. Adair, the English.
and Irish champion, who visited this
country last year.
Many have raised the question:
whether golf was not passing fad with
the American woman, as was the bicy-
Gle few years ago. The author be-
lieves that the enthusiasm Of woman
Is genuine this time, and that golf will
not be allowed to fall into the oblivion
that has hitherto been the fate of all
sports which have in turn been the fad
of the hour.
Miss Adair says some very nice things
about American women golfers. The
let
of our women. They play an uphill
game cheerfully, and fight it out to the
end. She thinks they rise to a bad sit
uation better than English, Irish, or
Scotch women, and adds: "This is the
spirit that wins golf matches. z
She also found here spirit of good
fellowship" in matches that is often
quite lacking abroad. In other words,
Miss Adair found the American woman
the same thorough sportsman" that
the American man is, ''and this" she
says, sis one of the most charming fea-
lures of American tournaments" As
to relative skill, she thinks our best
women players will push the best Brit
lsh women players to the top Of their
game.

for the reason that they show that
American women golfers have gone at
the game in the right spirit, and are de-
veloping high order of skill. This
being the case, their enthusiasm is much
more apt to be lasting and their devo-
ton to the game permanent.
Internationally, golf has done great
deal for Women-phys ically, mentally
and morally. The physical benefits are
observable at a glance. AS to mental
growth golf is an intellectual game in
that it requires concentration and per-
sistent application. From the moral
standpoint it teaches strict honesty, re-
spect for the rights of others, and other
things that go to give women more
complete development,

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.
Manufactured by German
Peasants.

'"The glass balls Of many co1ors used
to decorate Christmas trees" said a
toy dealer recently to New York Sun
reporter, "are made in Germany, some
of them in factories, but more of them
in the homes Of people dwelling in
parts of the Thuringian mountains.
Among them this trade has been hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton, all the members of the family
working at it in one way or another
Some member Of the household goes
to the nearest town at which this work
is given out, and where the finished
work is collected, and gets a bundle
of the glass tubes from which these
glass balls are blown. More than once
have met these messengers trudging
homeward with bundles of glass tubes,
carried like so many bundles Of sticks
''In every home where they do this
work they have a suitable furnace for
heating the glass; and at this the one
most proficient sits and blows the pref
ty glass bubbles, which others sort
and pack; and in due time the bright
glass balls thus produced in these
mountain homes are carried back to
the collecting centers, to find their
way thence to other homes adj over

If the spiritualist medium hadn't
possessed such great regard for his
wife that he objected vigorously to a
policeman kissing her, a seance in the
home of "the Rev" Clarence G. How
land, at Philadelphia, Pa. wouldn't
have ended with decidedly unspirit-
ual combat with fists. The detective
didn't really mean to kiss Mrs. How
land; simply, in his own terse Ian
guage, he made that bluff to make
Rowland come from under cover"
He succeeded.

Captions Over the Statements Of
Messrs. Hemenway and Livingston.


There was much merriment among mem
bers of the House today who happened to
notice the campaign headlines that have
been prepared for the respective statements
of Representatives Hemenway of Indiana
and Livingston of Georgia, regarding the
appropriations made at the present session
of Congress. These statements will be
printed In the Record tomorrow morning
and subsequently reprinted for distribution
as public documents during the forthcom-

publican chairman Of the House commit
tee on appropriations and Mr.. Livingston
is the ranking democratic member of the
same committee.
1t Is but natural that Mr.. Hemenway
wants to make the best possible showing
for the party in control, while Mr. Living
ston is just as desirous of disparaging the
majofitys record.
Readers of the Record tomorrow morn

QUESTION OF AGE.
Plea for New Trial in Behalf Of Vim
son Walsh.


son Walsh.
Arguments in support Of the motion for
a new trial were heard by Judge Scott in
the District branch of the Police Court this
afternoon on behalf Of Vinson F. Walsh,
son of Thomas F. Walsh, who was convict
ed and fined $50 In the Police Court last
week on three charges of running his red
devil automobile at an excessive rate Of
speed.
Attorneys W. s. Duvan and Douglass &
Douglass, who appeared counsel for
young Walsh. contended that their client
should not have been convicted on the testi-
mony offered. 1t was pointed out that 1t
has become the custom here in the District
to have the bicycle policemen supplied with
speedOmeters in order that they may tell
the correct speed of those whom they ar
rest for violating the speed law with differ
ent classes of vehicles.
Their client, they said, was convicted on
the testimony of a patrolman who was not
supplied with n speedo meter, and had no
accurate way of telling the speed of Walsh s
1t was also pointed out that it was shown
at the trial that tI.e defendant testified that
his buzz car" was supplied with a speedo-
meter, which at the time of his arrest, so
he testified, registered within the limit Of
speed permitted by law .e 'se-s4sef
Before Judge Scott announced his inten-
ton of diSpoSing of the motion the attor
neys for the defendant explained that from
their information they thought young
Walsh should not have been tried in the
Police Court, but in the Juvenile Court he
being, as they believed, only sixteen years
of age, and according to law should have
been tried in the latter tribunal.
Judge Scott postponed further action In
the matter until tomorrow in order that
the question of age may be settled. Pros
ecuting Attorney Pugh appeared on behalf
of the government.
