NEW YORK. November 14.--An associa-
ton of eastern professional golfers was or
ganized yesterday at the Astor House.
Over thirty prominent professionals in the
eastern district attended the meeting. and
the decision was unanimous in favor OF the
association. The professionals In this part
OF the country have long felt the need for
an organization like this. one which m ght
be able to arrange representative cham
pionship tournament, as Is done by the
western professionals. and in many other
cases advancing the interests OF the pro-
fessional ranks.
George Low, who has been one of the
most enthusiastic in advancing the needs
of an eastern body, was elected president

Club, near Boston, was chosen vice prest-
dent: Stuart Gardner OF Garden City. treas

committee of seven to draw up a consttu-
ton and bylaws to be reported at the next
meeting in December. The dues OF this

FREE FIELD CLOSED.

Secretary Walton OF the Washington
Jockey Club received a telegram last even
ing from Mr.. Belmont to the effect that
it has been decided to abolish the free field
this fall, and instead dollar admission
will be charged to get into that inclosure
This will be good news to those who watch
the contests for the sport alone, but who
could Ill afford the advance admission price
to $500. Mr.. Walton was not able TO say
whether betting would be allowed in the
dollar Enclosure. but the chances are that
no ''bookies' will be allowed therein and
that all wagers must be placed In the regu-
lar shed The innovation last spring OF
barring out the hand books from the grand
stand win be strictly enforced again. and
IL the women patrons want to make a

Superintendent Strahan will have his
hands full tomorrow when the rush comes
from Pimiico and Aqueduct. The races
close down in the former place today. but
the latter track doesn't close until to-
morrow evening. MT. Strahan said he ex-
pected as many runners from the New

Departmental Action in the Case OF
Toledo Letter Carriers,

The cases of a number OF letter carriers
connected with the Toledo post office, which
have been under consideration for more
than a year. have just been disposed of by
the Post Office Department. The removal
of one of the carriers in March last by
Postmaster General Wynne for soliciting
the sale Of mining stock, was found to have
been warranted. and this action will stand
David s. Wilder. Charles J. Reuscher and
Diary Van Buskirk, who were removed in
February last, will be reinstated at the
head Of the substitute Hist. and another will
be suspended, without pay, for a period of
thirty days.
One of the carriers was charged, in De-
cember last. with embezzling ordinary mail,
INSTRUMENTATION and lettering. The in
spector who investigated the charges
recommended his removal. as did second
inspector who made a reinvestigation. In
July the ex-carrier came TO Washington,
and his statements then led the department
to think that possibly injustice had been
done him. and third investigation was
ordered and was conducted by two tnspec-
tors other than those who had previously
had the case. They came to the same con-
clusions as their predecessors. that the
man had been guilty of INSTRUMENTATION
and lettering, and had probably mishan-
died mail. and that his reinstatement ought
not to be considered.

letter carriers at Toledo had been solicit
ing the sale and selling stock of a mining
company while on duty reached the depart
ment. AS result of an investigation
David s. Wilder, Charles J. Reuscher and
Dairy Van Busk!rk were removed from the
service in February and eighteen other
carriers were suspended for thirty days
each. Another carrier was recommended
for removal by an inspector for similar
offense. but recent investigation by an
other inspector indicated that such penalty
was too severe. and he has been suspended
for thirty days without pay. New facts
relative to the conduct of Wilder Reuscher
and Van Buskirk having been submitted.
reinvestigation of their cases was had In
September, and the inspectors ascertained
that although to an extent they were cupa-
BILE. removal was an extreme penalty for
their offenses. and accordingly they Will
: be relnstated as substitute carriers at the
head of the list being thus eligible for ap-
pointment as regular carriers as soon as
vacancies in the carrier force occur. frs-f
In closing the cases. the department gives
fair warning that repetition of these Of
lenses in any form will be followed by
summary action.

RELATIONS WITH NORWAY.
Delay in the Announcement Of Diplo-
matte REPRESENTATIVES..

Mr.. Grip, the minister from Sweden,
called at the State Department yesterday
and gave official notice in behalf of his
government that King Oscar, In view OF
the separation Of Sweden and Norway, had
renowned his former title of King Of Swe-
den and Norway and desires to be here
after known as King of Sweden and of the
Goths and Vandals. thus reviving the an
cient and peculiar title of the ruler Of
Sweden.
Mr. Hauge, the Norwegian charge, called
upon Secretary Root yesterday at the State
Department and presented his credentials as
charge d'affaires of the new state of Nor
way He has not yet been advised officially
of his selection by his government to be
minister for Norway to the United States
It is believed here that the delay In max
ing the official announcement to that effect
is caused by the desire OF the government
to withhold proclamation of all such impor-
tant appointments until a king is chosen
and enthroned.
The State Department has not yet decided
whether 1t shall appoint new minister to
Norway In the absence OF an appropriation
for his salary or permit Mr.. Graeves. who
was originally accredited as minister to
Sweden and Norway, to continue to act in
dual capacity until Congress otherwise
provides.
