Canton, Ohio, an American bred golf
er, beat the Scots at their own game
today. and won for the first time in
the history of the game in this coun-

of professional golf in this country
that an American player has distanced
the entire field of foreign experts
Sherwood's victory IS all the more
creditable because McCloud, whom he
defeated in the previous rounds, had
disposed of two national champions
Z Willie Anderson and Lawrence Aucht-
erlonie, When the thirty-six holes
were finished the match stood all
square, and in playing tue extra hole
McCloud dubbed his drive, while Sher-

RAILROAD TIE UP
Probable on Account of the Differences
Between Officials and Switch
mans Union.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-Representatives
of every railroad between Buffalo and
the Pacific coast met here yesterday
and decided to refuse the demand of
the Switchmen's Union of America
for an eight hour day and twenty per
cent increase in wages.
The switchmens ultimatum, deliv-
cred September 25, does not contem-
plate strike until an appeal has been
taken from the managers to the pres
idents of the railroads. Such an ap-
peal will follow Immediately. In the
meantime efforts will be made to Sc
cure the support of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen. officers of the
Switchmen's union say that, in the
event of a strike, $4,000 switchmen
will go out. If the .Trainmen's Bro
therhood is enlisted in the fight, the
number will be increased by $4,000.
The trouble, while almost national in
its extent, centers in Chicago. The
men say they have had but one in
crease in wages in 20 years and that
the risks of their calling and increased
cost of living makes an advance i'm
perative.

London. Oct. 12-The Zionists are
contemplating somewhat novel form
of Jewish relief. At the time of the
great Russian massacres last Novem-

a hospital in Palestine, where the or
phans made in Russian pogroms can
be housed. UP to now these children
nave been taken charge of by Jewish
committees in England and on the

NO SYMPTOMS
OF Insanity About a Man Who Could
Drink a Pint and Half Of
WhIskey Before Dinner.

Chicago, Oct 12.-Three alienists
were ready to swear here that the late
Thomas H. Wickes, millionaire and
Pullman car magnate, was insane when
he made a will leaving the bulk Of
his estate to his nephew, Hugh Wal
dron, and practically cutting off his
three divorced wives, son and two
daughters. They we're not permitted
to testify, however, because Judge
Honore objected to the form in which
former Senator Mason, attorney for
the would-be will-breakers, put his
questions. What Senator Mason want
ed to know was:
Would you consider man insane
who showed: First-Wickes' business
ability. Second--such fondness for
drink that he some times emptied
three -fourths of a bottle OF whiskey
before dinner and took FIVE bottles
of beer and bottle of whiskey to bed
with him. Third-such fondness for
women's society as Wickes manifest
ed Fourth-who talked about women
as Wickes talked about them"
The alienists whose testimony was
sought were Doctors II. II. Meyer, J..
G. Kiernan and Sanger Brown. To
show how Wickes loved the children
whom he afterward disinherited a let
ter was read in which heswarned his
daughter Florence against such wiles
as he practiced.

TYPHOID FEVER
Almost Created a Panic
at Greentown Thurs
day.

An epidemic of typhoid fever has
broken out at Greentown and the res
idents are almost in a panic. Up to
Thursday thirty cases had been re-
ported and Thursday night, three more
serious cases developed.
The cause of the epidemic is a mys-
terry and the doctors are at a loss how
to check the spread Friday morning
Greentown doctor telephoned to
Sanitary Policeman Thompson, ex-
planning the situation and asked If it
would be possible for Health Officer
Smith and himself to visit Greentown
and try and locate the origin of the
disease. Mr.. Thompson was unable
to go yesterday and DR.. Smith is con-
fined to his bed.
In answer to question, the doctor
who was too excited to give his name,
said that they have town pump from
which everybody drinks, but thought
that this was not the cause He was
advised to send a sample of the water
to DR.. Brobst, Of Columbus, state sec
retary of the board of health, for
analysis.
Officer Thompson said that as they
are having no trouble in the imme-
diate vicinity of Greentown, the epi.
demic must be due to local condi.
tions. Although the local health
board has no jurisdiction outside the
city it is probable some one will visit
the afflicted town and endeavor tc
give them some relief.
