MIR. Rose and the Golf Ball-The Balti-
more NeuS says "a golfer last night told me
q story of Mr.. John @. Rose which proves that
the District Attorney is just as thorough, per-
sistent and pertinacious in his amusements as
in his methods of conducting the White case.
He was playing with several gentlemen on the
Maryland Country Club links. Mr.. Rose made
a drive, and the little white ball sailed yards
away in tall grass. Of course, it was lost A
search was made, but there was nothing doing
Most other golfers would have gone on around
the course with fresh ball. Not so Mr.. Rose.
He began to quiz his caddie as searchingly as
he this week cross-examined DR." White, and
in that high pitched, monotonous voice charac-
teristic of him. The lad did the best he could
to answer as to the last reported whereabouts
of the ball. and Mr.. Rose thought he had clue.
Excuse me, gentlemen he said to his COM
: panions, from going on further with you
Then he went down on his knees in the grass.
He returned to the club one hour after the
other players-but he had that ball."
