PROPOSED SUBTREASURY.
Secretary Shaw Communicates His
Views to Chairman Payne.

Chairman Payne of the House committee
ways and means has received a letter
from Secretary Shaw concerning the loca-
ton of the proposed new subtreasury in
the southeast in which the Secretary ex
presses no preference for any of the cities
which are fighting for the new branch of
the treasury. In closing his letter Mr..
Shaw says that if local interests are to be
considered there should be treasury in the
southeast but that If the interests of the
government are to be considered at least
two of the existing subtreasuries should
be abandoned. He suggested that a mere
examination of the map is sufficient to
show where any subtreasury should be
located, but fails to indicate definitely what
city he would select.

EFFECT OF PUBLICITY.
Independent Oil Operators Freed From
Discrimination.

James R. Garfield, commissioner of cor
porations, appeared before the House COM
mittee on interstate and foreign commerce
yesterday in support of the Townsend bill,
which provides for the appointment by the
President of commissions to arbitrate con-
troversies concerning wages or hours of en-
ployment which affect the transportation of
mails and interstate commerce.
When asked to cite recent cases where
such commission would, in his opinion,
have been effective in settling disputes Mr..
Garfield said he believed that both the
teamsters strike and the strike of packers
employees in Chicago could have been set
tied before assuming such serious propor-
lions.
Mr. Garfield advocated publicity as an eff
fective feature of Investigations in clearing
up injustices, and instanced the Standard
Oil investigation as an example of its great
value. Independent oil operators, Mr.. Gar
field said, have told him recently that for
the first time in twenty years they are free
from determinations.

The city ten-pin tournament was formal

ers of the bowling game The first contests
were the hve-men team matches. George
Campbell of the Orentals started the first
ball down the alley for a strike. which was
closely followed by Buck Allison OF the
Saengerbunds, also for strike.
The Fat Mems team got off third and
then the Bureau team got under way. I ne
National Guard and Treasury teams were
last on the alleys. Most of the interest was
conferred around the alleys on which the
first two teams were rolling. shortly
after the start it was seen that the win
ner would have a hard struggle. At the
end of last nights contest the Orientals had
won with a total of 9, 762, while the Saenger-
bunds We're second with 2,703.
In the two-men team matches Barclay

WEALTHY BRIT0N
HIRES JOCKEY LYME

NEW YORK, January T.-Lucien Lyme,
the young Kentuckian, who sprang into
prominence as jockey when he rode Sava-
BILE, winner of the Futurity in 1902, will ride
In England this season for w. B. Purfoy.
Lyme left his home In Lexington Tuesday
for New York, in order to meet his new
employer, who is expected here from Eng
land in a few days. The terms under which
Lyme will be engaged are not known, but
his friends declare that he will receive at
least $4,000 as g. retaining fee for first call
on his services.
Purfoy is wealthy whisky dealer who
races horses for recreation and the pleasure
1t affords him to see his colors flash home
first. He has a select string of twenty
horses in charge of 7. Falton, an Irish
trainer.
In 1905 Purfoy owned Rally, the best two
year-old of that year. This colt was so
highly regarded by his owner that he re-
fused an offer of $150,OO0 for him. During
the winter Of 19O5-O6 Rally was installed
favorite in the betting for the Derby. The
colt was a failure last year
1t will be Lynes second trip to England
as a jockey. In 1904 he went over under a
two-year contract to James r. Keene at a
reported salary of $4,000 season. He won
a number of races, but failed to achieve
the success that his employer or Matt
Allen, the trainer, anticipated.

GOLF CLUBS BID
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW YORK, January 17.-Lively dis
cussions on several important subjects are
promised at the annual meeting Of the
United States Golf Association, to be held
in Chicago tomorrow night. AS the west
ern delegates are planning to be represent
ed in force, they may get control, and then
there is no telling what radical steps may
be taken. This will be the first time in the
history of the organization that the annual
gathering has not been held in this city.
A point to be brought up which promises
to provoke argument has to do with the
title-hoder. In the opinion of some it has
always seemed absurd to require the cham
pion to qualify in order to defend an honor
already his. 1t is claimed that he should,
by virtue of his being the champion, be
exempt from play in the qualifying round
that real qualifying round is to determine
what players shall have the right to contest
for the honor, and that the champion GER
tainly has, without question, the right to
defend his title.
Should this suggestion be acted on ia
vorably at the meeting 1t would mean that
| in the 1907 championship 81 instead of 80
players would qualify, thus leaving a place
for the title-holder, who would, of course,
be obliged to defend his position against all
corners and take his luck in the draw at
match play the same as the others
Although the game is growing steadily
in this country, and the influence of the
over a wider area it is generally admitted
that to hold the amateur champions hip
south of Baltimore or west of Chicago-for
| the present at least-would mean a cham
pionshp in name only. Twelve amateur
championships have been held by the u S.
G. A. Six have been over courses in the
metropolitan diStrict-four in the Chicago
section, one at Newport and one at At
| lantfe city
Ordinarily the. chances would be favor
able to a Chicago selection, but the fact
| that a. special appeal has been made by the
women to have their 1907 national event
held. at Midlothian may influence the vote
| in favor of an eastern course for the anna
! teur. f.'''@ ''t
! To be sure, there is no rule to prevent
| both the amateur and women's tourna-
ments being held out Chicago way, but
| such a state of things is highly improba BILE.
| The Euclid Country Club is in every way
suited for the amateur event. and for that
| matter so is the Apawamis Club Then
| there is the Fox Hills course, which, with
| a little frightening would make an ideal
| spot. New Workers would be glad to see
| the blue ribbon event awarded to either
Apawamis Fox Hills, but should it be
| offered to Boston club little opposition
would be raised. for the reason that the
| amateur championship has never been held
| over Massachusetts green.
| Unless some strong pressure is brought to
| bear at the eleventh hour 1t looks as If the
open would at least go to Philadelphia
| Clubs never do appear very anxious to Sc
| cure the professionals, and for that reason
| the United States Golf Association may be
| glad to accept the offer of the Philadelphia
| Cricket Club this year.

TWENTY PLAYERS
TO BE PLACED

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 17.-President
Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg base ball
club announced yesterday he had twenty
players to dispose Of.
OF the forty-six men originally on the
clubs list. the management has disposed of
Ritchey, Flaherty, Ganley, Peitz, Moskiman
and Pless, while Abbaticchio has been
added. This leaves forty-one men on the
roster. The total will be reduced to twen-
ty, or at most twenty-one, before the Pi-
rates start for the spring training grounds.
Il hope Moskiman will consent to 20 to
Louisville with PeitZ, said Dreyfuss 1.-The
Peitz deal will not be blocked should Mos
kiman refuse to go to Louisville, for we
shall merely be forced to send some other
player in his stead. Joe Cantillon. manager
of the Washington American League team
wants Peitz for the Minneapolis club of
which he is part owner"

Work of the Patent Office.

The House committee on patents held a
hearing yesterday on the Currier bill to pro-
vide increased force and salaries in the
United States patent Office. The bill is a
result of the numerous criticisms made
some time ago OF the patent Office In con-
nection with the amount of back work that
remained to be done. A. P. Greedy Of this
city, Jas. r. She field of New York and D.
T. Dodge, president of the Mergenthaler
Company, appear ed before the committee in
advocacy Of the measure. Commissioner of
Patents Frederick l. Allen also appeared
and indicated that the relief intended by
the bill was not necessary, as the greater
part of the back work of the office had
been caught up with and put out of the
way. The committee took no action on the
bill at this time.

SIGNIFICANT GATHERING.
President Had Secretary Root, Messrs
Cortelyou and Bliss at Luncheon.

At luncheon with President Roosevelt yes
terday afternoon were Secretary Root, Post
master General Cortelyou and Cornelius
Bliss of New York, treasurer of the repub-
lican national committee. There is strong
belief that this gathering was Of signifi-
canoe, and the deepest interest will attach
to a possible announcement in the next day
or two.
The President has long been represented
as being dissatisfied with the fact that the
republican national committee, of which
Mr. Cortelyou was chairman, accepted
large contributions from life insurance
companies in the campaign of 1904 and
suggestions have been made that the Presi-
dent has number of times taken up with
Mr.. Cortelyou the question of returning
these contributions. Whether 1t Is true
as has been stated, Is not known. but the
fact that the three men named were
brought together in one gathering will be
at least full of speculative interest.
lican national committee for number of
years. He knows more about the repub-
lican methods of procuring contributions
and the people who make them than any
living man. He has evaded all attempts to
get from him Information as to the men
and companies that put up money for the
republican campaign two and a half years
ago and is said to have opposed any sug-
BeStiOH Oh returning IloHcy " Alc Hiou1-
ance companies.
Another matter of much interest to the
President and the three men named Is the
campaign that is in progress to bring about
a meeting of the national committee for the
election of chairman All indications are
that many men not identified with the ad-
ministration and its presidential aspira-
tons are seeking to elect chairman who
will not be subject to the influences that
emanate from the White House or from any
Of it's branches. Although Mr.. Cortelyou
has resigned the craftsmanship of the ma
tional committee he knows more than any
other man the tendencies of the members of
the committee and what might be expected
of them in the case of showdown on the
Craftsmanship.
