IT HE greatest 'sFrenzied Finance"
Il story now interesting the pub
lie is that Of the Equitable Life Assur-
anoe Society of New York
We had already heard of the juggling
with the funds OF society while the re-
spectacle directors dozed We had
also heard Of the custom Of using the
funds Of the organization for elaborate
doings at sherrys and for the payment
OF private bills of the officers.
But 1t appears to have gone further
than that The Insurance Commis-
sloner has run across something which
appears to offer a definite opportunity
20 send somebody to jail He estimates
that ABOUT siO,Ooo,OOO which belongs to
the policy holders has been diverted
from its treasury and into the pockets
.of several Of the officers.
The directors, we are told, were as
founded when they learned the news.
What right have they to profess aston
ishment? IL was their business to know
what was going on in the organiza-
ton. Why were the names Of these
eminent men used any way2 Was It
not to Inspire confidence and attract
persons TO buy its policies? How Of
ten have agents run over the names
Of these directors to possible policy
holders in order to assure them Of the
soundness OF the institution?
And nav when the true state OF af-
fairs is revealed these directors with
draw. saying by their act that they do
not propose to have their names con-
nected with such a concern. But they
cannot by this course escape moral re-
sponsibrity for the acts OF the society

EXPERT GOLFERS.
A Number of Them tfet at nyopia
Hunt Club Links To-day.

Hamilton, Mass, Sept. 21-Oyer
four score Of the most expert golf
players in the country, including pres
ent and past champions, assembled
to-day on the links of the Myopid
Hunt club for the first round of the
18th open championship of the United
States Golf association. Ahead of the
players were two days of the hardest
kind of golf, ~ holes of media! play.
In addition to the large number of
professional players entered, eleven OF
the leading amateurs came here to
participate In the event.
The is hole course, 3Ia miles long. Is
considered particularly difficult on ac-
count of It's many traps and $40
strokes was, before the start to-day,
believed to be the maximum possible
for even the best player in the four
rounds. About dozen CT the players
were expected to go over the course
In about that number OF strokes. The
especial favorites were the present
champion, Willie Anderson, of the
Apawamis club of Rye, n. Y, and
two former champions, Willie Smith
of Mexico and Lawrence Auchterlonie
Oh TIE Nrl6IlNlcW Nlup, SniChBO.
That the former amateur champion,
Walter j. Travis of Garden City, also
might negotiate the course in an av-
erage of IS for each round was the
belief of many of the experts who
had gathered to watch the contest.
The committee planned to send the
first pair off to-day at $50 O'Clock,
the other forty-one pairs following at
FIVE minute intervals.
There was no delay in starting the
contest, and as the first pair, W. c.
Sherwood of Toledo and G.. Cummings
OF Montreal, stepped up to the tee the
sun broke through the clouds for the
first time in nearly a week. Within
laif an hour after the start the greens
were fast and true and the whole
course was drying up rapidly. There
were few Withdrawals. The first OF
the noted players to attract attention
was Mr. Travis, who made fair start,
taking the first nine holes in 3S, as did
his partner, r. s. Simpson OF Chicago.
The crowd, however, waited largely
for the appearance OF the present
champion, Mr. Anderson, who played
with David Brown OF Boston, former
English champion. Anderson made
the first hole in 4, while Brown got
there I'm 3. L. Auchterlonle Of the
Glenyiew club, Chicago, the winner OF
1902, made a poor start, getting the
first hole in 3. as did his partner, F.
Mckenzie Of 0nwentsia. Before noon
the entire list had been started.
The professional golf players who are
here for the United States golf cham
pionship have agreed to form an asso-
citation to consolidate with the Western
Professional Golf association in form
ing what viii be known as the United
Professional Golf Association Of Amer
lea. At a meeting last night an ex-
ecutive committee was appointed con-
sisting OF George Low. Stewart Gard
ner. Willie Andrews and Alec Smith
from the New York district. and Alec
Ross. Donald Ball and Donald Ross
from the Boston district.

FOR A RIGHT OF WAY.
The Columbia Valley Company Makes
an Application.

Portland, Ore, Sept 21.-A dispatch
to the Oregonian from Olympia, Wash,
says. The Columbia Valley Railway
Co was Incorporated in 1899 for the
purpose of building a road from the
north bank of the Columbia river d.
rectly south of the Golden Dale, In
Klickitat county.
The company in 1902 obtained a
right of way over school section In
the vicinity of Cape Horn and now
makes its first application for addi-
tlonal rit of way since that time
The Portland and Seattle Co this
week obtained an easement for right
of way through the same section, the
plat showing the location of the road
several hundred feet south OF the right
of way of the Columbia Valley road.
The Columbia Valleys application
filed yesterday is for a right Of way
apparently as close TO the waters edge
as a road could be built.
Commenting on the above dispatch,
the 0regonian says:
"Concealment is no longer possible
of the intentions Of the Hill and Harri-
man interests to wage the bitterest
warfare of recent years in the railroad
history of the Pacific coast. The Port
land and Seattle Railroad Co had been
formed to build down the north bank
of the Columbia river from Kennewick
TO Vancouver and it is not consistent
with previous accomplishments of j.
]. Hill TO fail in an undertaking once
definitely decided ON. On the other
hand the Hartman interests are equal
ly determined to place every possible
obstacle In the way of the invading
army of railroad builders that is being
marshalled to parallel the Oregon Rail-
road and Navigation Co down to the
water level route of the Columbia.
Climaxes in the contest for the SUI
premacy will be frequent from this
time forward, with appeals to courts
as Incidents, while the shrewdest con-
struction men In the employ Of the
two systems viii be pitted against
cash other in the local direction of the
Geld campaign"
