EXPECT STORMY SESSIONS.
Eastern and Western Delegates May
Clash at New York Meeting.

Several stormy meeting are expected at
the annual sessions of the United States
Golf Association. which meets In New York
on Friday night. The trouble will come
from the western clubs, especially those
known "allied clubs" who do not like
to be continually denied a vote, although
allowed to form one-third of the member
ship of the executive committee. 1t is
thought that fasteners expect to placate
them with offers of one of the champion
ship events. Which this will be is not
known. but it is likely that the westerners
can have the amateur event which has
been held in the east since 1902, when 1t
was decided in Chicago
There is some speculation as to who WILL
be the new head of the association. q.
Herbert Windeler of Boston. who has been
the president for the last two years, WILL
retire. AT present the man most likely TO
fill his position is Ransom H. ThomaW OF
Morristown. N. j.
The question of changing the conditions
of the annual intercity team match, ne
tween the New York and Philadelphia
golfers may come before the meeting. II
has been suggested that the Massachusetts
Golf Association be admitted to the con-
test making a three-cornered team match,
as has been the case for two years with
the women golfers of the three cities, as
the Massachusetts association virtually
means the players of Boston and In the
vicinity The Philadelphfans are In favor
of the plan and the three-cornered team
match will likely be instituted this spring.

SUICIDE BY HANGING
THOMAS J. THOMPSON FOUND
DEAD THIS MORNING.

Thomas J. Thompson, sixty-four years
Old, committed suicide this morning at his
home, 1873 street northeast. by hanging
himself with piece of window cord to the
water pipe, which was fastened to the cell
ing. His son, Lloyd Thompson. found the
body about $3.50 o clock. The body was cold.
and it was the opinion of the coroner that
death had occurred at least two hours be-
fore the son went to the kitchen and made
the discovery.
Mr.. Thompson had evidently given the
matter much thought. The cord he used
had not been in the house prior to last
night, and, it is believed, he purchased it
while he was away from the house yester-
day. Last night he remained about the
house after eating his supper. About mid
night his wife and several children retired
He said he would be upstairs later, and
nothing more was thought of him until
after 3 O'Clock this morning. when his
wife awoke and found he had not come to
bed. She called her son and said she feared
there was something the matter with her
husband The son went to the kitchen and
found his fathers body hanging to the pipe.
Mr. Thompson had reached the pipe and
fastened the rope about it by standing on
a chair that he had placed on the kitchen
