There were seventy play CTS entered and siXty-six took part i'll the preliminary found. Just night years years ago this even was inaugurated on the links of the Morris County Golf club. The Morris County links have since then undergone several changes and have been improved so as to make them more difficult. The playing dis tance of the links is about $500 yards, and to-day's test of the ability of the aspirants for championship honors was a very good one.
 Two players of note, Miss Georgianna Bishop of Bridgeport, Conn.,, who won the national title last year and Mrs. c. T. s. Stout of Apawamis N. Y. who had won the title twice in succession, were among the competitors to-day. Miss Bishop turned in a. card of S7 for the course, which is a new record on these links for a woman, while Mrs. Stout took 96. Miss Margaret Curtis of Essex county, Massachusetts, tied Miss Bishop for medal play honors with another ST. and Miss Anita E. Phipps of Springfield, Mass, Miss N. w, Phelps of Brookline, Mass. and Miss F. l.. Vanderhoef of Ardsley, N. T., were the next best with scores of 90. 97, 91, respectively.
 At the close of the preliminary round it was found that thirty-three players with scores of 104 and under had turned in cards and as four of them had tied for the last three places on the eligible list for the principal prize, they had to play off. Miss F. c. Griscom of Phila- delphia and Miss E. W. Allen and Miss M. c. DuttoIi, both of the Oakley club of Boston, Mass, got into the first divi- sion, Mrs. w. Fellowes Morgan of Bal tusrol, the other one of the quartette being forced into the second division when the tie was played off, the deci- sion being made on the first hole.

ALDERMEN PASS BOND ISSUE
STUDENTS DISTURBANCE WAS.
 DISCUSSED INFORMALLY

Considerable Difficulty in Securing .
 Quorum-Meeting Not Called to Or-
 der Until 9.25 p. m Consolidated
 Railroad Company Given Permission
 to Extend Double Tracking from
 Munson to Argyle Street.
 Considerable difficulty was encoun- tered last night in getting a quorum at the special meeting of the board of purpose of ratifying the bond issue re- gently passed by the be4rd of finance. It was not until about 9:S0 o'clock that the city sheriff and the page were en- abled to get enough members 50 that the meeting could proceed and then only about five minutes were consumed in transacting the necessary business and adjourning. M..<~. .7. r
 The meeting was devoid of any spec personally so that the attendance was not as prompt as usual, although as soon as they were notified that they were needed to complete a quorum the members promptly arrived on the scene after notification. At last all but one member necessary to form a quorum were present, when it was learned that Alderman-at-Large McKerness was att tending an important meeting of the Carpenters union at Union hall, so no- tification was sent him and he quickly and willingly arrived on the scene.
 When Clerk Beecher had read the communication concerning the bond is sue Alderman Hamilton moved that unanimous consent be granted for the immediate consideration of the commu- nication. This being granted he next moved that the bond issue be authoriz- ed and this was passed unanimously.
 Alderman-at-Large Johnson presented a petition asking that the Consolidated Street Railway company be given per- mission to extend it's double tracking on the Winchester avenue line from Munson street to Argyle street He ex- plained that double tracking was being done on this line, but that the original petition called for the work to extend Oilly LO SIICCI' tIS GLkCl1 oLcIICN that about 1000 employees at Winches- ter's shop took the cars at Argyle street every day, so in reply to a popular de- mand the trolley company had express ed its willingness to extend the tracks one block further were the permission to do so granted immediately. Alder man Johnson therefore asked pern1is- sion for unanimous consent for in1me- diate consideration of the petition, and this was granted The aldermen then moved that the petition be granted and this was also passed unanimously. The board then adjourned.
 While the aldermen were waiting for a quorum the disturbance caused by the students on York street Sunday night was discussed informally and the members expressed themselves as most heartily .condemning the whole affair. It was suggested that 8 communica- toin expressing the feeling of the board be presented to the board, but it was decided that such a communication would be out of place at last night S meeting, which was called for an es- pecial purpose. ..a

 ton Disaster Resumed.

Mare Island, Cal, Oct. 9-The court martial of Commander Lucien Young, accused of neglect of duty in connec- tion with the boiler explosion on the United States steamer Bennington, was resumed to-day. An objection by the judge advocate to the retention of Cap tain Winder on the court-martial on account of his friendship for Captain Young, was overruled, as also was an objection to the presence of Naval Con- structor Evans.
 Lieutenant Victor Blue, executive of- ficer of the Bennington from August 19. 1904, to the date of the explosion was called as witness. He did not remember accompanying Commander Young in his inspections. On three Sundays Lieutenant Blue had made in- spections when Young was sick, at the commanders request.
 Lieutenant Blue was not in the boiler room at the time of an accident to one Oi the boilers on the way from Hono- lulu to San Diego, but the lieutenant had heard officially from Commander Young that there was such an acci- dent.

Alleged Abductor Greeted by an Im- .t.sg mense ThrOng.
 Omaha. Neib., Oct. 9.-Pat Grove, al- legged kidnapper of Eddie Cudahy, ar rived this eveAing from Butte, Mont, in custody of detectives. An immense throng greeted Grove with cheers at the Union station. The prisoner was rushed to the jail in patrol wagon.
 Grove was not inclined to talk of his past. He declared that much had been published on his alleged doings, confessions and other matters which was without foundation. Among these he mentioned a confession said to have been signed by '11im at Butte impli- eating young Cudahy in conspiracy in connection with the Kidnapping.
 "When ,fthis case comes to trial" said Grove. "the truth will be known to the world"
 "Is is true that you once offered to return $21000 to Edward A. Cudahy if he would not prosecute you?' Grove was asked.

Have Found No G0Ou Clue Get An MAu-
 dIetOwn, N. Y., Murder.
 Middletown, N. Y, Oct. 9.-To all ap- pearances the authorities are still com pletely baff1ed in their efforts to solve the mystery of the triple tragedy at the Olney farm last Friday. It now is proposed to take bloodhounds to the scene in the hope that it is not yet too late for them to pick up the trail of the assassin. The experiment will be made as soon as the hounds can be obtained from the Napanoch reformatory, but it is felt that the chances of success are remote.
 The condition of Mrs. Ingerick im- proved considerably to-day and Dis triet Attorney Rogers had a long con- versation with her, with what results he declined to say although it was hinted that he had obtained informa- tion that would soon lead to arrests. Daniel Davis and his wife were dis charged from custody to-day.
 The murdered brothers, Willis and Fred Olney, were buried to-day. Lulu Ingerick, the sister of the murdered girl, was taken in an automobile to- night to Howells, five miles from here, apparently to assist in working up a newly discovered clue.

NECK MAY SAVE HIS LIFE.
Murderer Suffering from Justification of
 Vertebrae and Tissues.


 Vertebrae and Tissues.
 Chicago, Oct. 9.--Because of pecul- jar freak of nature Robert Gardiner, a prisoner in the county jail here charged with the murder of Agnes Morrison, may escape the death penalty. When he was arraigned in court to-day he at. torney William Buckner, startled the court by turning to Assistant States Attorney Barbour and saying.
 ''This is a case where it wont do you any good to ask for the death penalty. They can't break this mans neck if they try to hang him and you may lose him altogether by hanging him and failing to executee the sentence in full"
 It appears that the prisoner is suffer- ing from justification of the vertrebrae and tissues of the neck. According to Prof. Steffenson of Rush Medical col- 1gee, only five similar cases have ever come to the notice of the medical pro- fession.
 Attorney Buckner declares that the hardening of the bone and tissue has proceeded so far that it will be impos- sible to bring any strain upon the patients neck that would be sufficient Iy severe to cause any discomfort other than a slight straining of the muscles.

MAY DEBAR ATHLETICS.
Faculty May Meet Out This Penalty to
 Fresmen.


 As a result of the riotous and dis graceful conduct of certain members of the. academic freshman class at Yale it now seems quite probable that the freshman class athleticwi Il be cut out for the class of 19O9 Such seems to be the sentiment among the members of the faculty, who realize that to deprive the freshmen of their annual class ath- letic contests with the other colleges and the consequent opportunity to win their numerals will be more telling and appropriate punishment than g. fine or a jail senterce even.
 How far the prohibition will extend, if carried, cannot at present be deternin- ed. A question arises as to the justice of making the freshmen in the scien- tific, medical and law school depart ments suffer for the misdeeds of a group of young men in Pierson hall. Again the freshman football schedule has already been made up, and to can the teams scheduled.
 At any rate the faculty stands pretty we'll unit for taking away the athletic contests. which would naturally be scheduled for next spring, the rowing class race with Harvard, the track events and the baseball series for 1909. It will probably .e1nbody it's views in a vote at it's next meeting.
 Such action was taken in 1892 because some of the freshmen of 1896 raideda the New Haven opera house after a, foot ball victory and then ran through the bonfire couple of tutors who were trying to discipline them for starting the blaze.
 The faculty began Its investigation of the case yesterday and will not let the matter drop.
 One of the Yale professors said yes terday thct it is difficult for the police to make sure of evidence against per- sons for throwing things from rooms, as some student who did not room in an apartment might be there tempora- rily.
 It is a faculty rule, however, that the students who occupy a room are held responsible for it. so that the holders of the rooms in Pierson hall from which things were thrown will be de- claed responsible for them as far as the facult is concerned:

 QuaIers Play ErrorIess Game but Are
 Unable to Bat-DonIin Makes New
 YOrIx's Only MispIay-Play To-day in
 New York.
 Philadelphia Oct. .9.-Masterly pitch ing by Christy MatheWson, backed up by gilt-edged playing, by the men be- hind him, gave the New York National league champions victory to-day over the Philadelphia American league pen- nant winners in the first of the series of seven games for the worlds cham pionship. Philadelphia failed to score, Matflewson allowing the taome,, team only four hits, while the New Workers managed to score three runs off Plank. Although defeated, Philadelphia play ed a brilliant game. It was q clean victory for the v1sitorss the clement of luck cutting no figure in the contest. The National league champions played hard for the game, and it was only their persistency in touching up Plank at the right moment that gave them the contest.
 While the visitors were gathering their runs, New York S, great pitcher was moving down the home players in almost one, two, three order. Of the thirty-one men who faced him only eight reached first, four of them on hits, three on f1elders' choices and one on Donlin's huff of @ short fly. Only one man-Schreck-reach third, and he was thrown out at the plate on a close play.
 New York also excelled in base run- ming, four of the visitors being cred tied with stolen bases. The only de- partment wherein the Philadelphians outdone the New Workers was in field ing. They gave Plank as brilliant support as has been seen here for 8 long time. Monte Cross, at short, and Captain Lave Cross, at third, made some phenomenal stops and quick throws while on the run. The team played without an error For New York Dahlen and Devlin were all over the infield, the latter making several hard stops and throws Donlin made New York's only misplay. He started too late on a short fly ball and muffed it. It resulted in nothing, as the run ner was doubled up at second on the next play.
 New York came near scoring in the first inning. Plank hit Bresnahan, the first man up. with the first pitched ball. He was forced at second by Browne. Donlin sent up pop fly to Davis, and McCann hit into the crowd in left field, the ground rules allowing him two bases. With Brown on third Mertes fell victim to Plank's cross fire balls and struck out. In the sec- ond inning Devlin and Gilbert bunted safely, and worked the double steal. Bresnahan was purposely sent to first on balls, but New York was unable to score. The visitors went out in order
