GOLF CHAMPIONS
 ARE QUALIFIED
THlRTY-THREE CONTESTANTS FOR THE NATIONAL AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP FINISH QUAIL TYING ROUNDS-HlGH-CL

Cleveland, O., July 10.-Thirty-three contestants for the national amateur golf championship today finished their quali- flying rounds with scores of 165 or better Nothing could better show the high class of the field that Is entered for this ycar's s championship than the scores. the high figure being four strokes better than that of year ago at Englewood, N. J., when 169 qualified. The Euclid course. over which this years championship is to be decided, is regarded by most ex- perts as being two strokes easier than the New Jersey course, so this shows a good margin in favor of the field that is entered this year.
 With weather conditions almost perfect for good golf, many low scores were made today. Walter J. Travis, twice winner of the national championship, former holder of the championship of Great Britain and always regarded as one of the most formidable contestants. tied the amateur course record of H. which Is the best score ever made in Q national amateur golf championship, and but for a topped mid-iron shot on the fifteenth hole, which proved costly, might have tied the professional record of 60, made by Willie Anderson two years ago. West of the Philadelphia Country club, also made this score earlier in the day. but the Garden City veteran made the lowest qualifying score. as on yester- days play he made 75 to the Philadelphia youngsters 16. W. E. Egan and Chand- Ter gan of Exmoor. Fred Herreshoff of Garden City, Norman Macbeth and w. C.. Fownes, JrJ., of Oakmont. w. A. Stick ney- of St. Louis. c. s. Lyons, the Ca- nadian veteran, NJ. R. Martin of Toledo, national champion, E. II. Byers, O. w. Jones of Toledo, H. W. Frazier of To- ledo, S. G. Stlckney of St. Louis, J. K. Bole of Euclid, all made scores under ao, Chandler Egan getting "A. and Tray CTS. McBeth and w. A. Stickney 70 each.
 Eleven eastern players. nineteen west ern and two Canadians qualified flor the championship play, but the draw 1t puts Western Champion Ned Sawyer and Chandler Egan together in the first round. The east, however, will suffer in the afternoon If Herreshoff and Tray CTS win their morning match, and they are almost certain to do, they will meet | in the second round.
 Of the other favorites for the cham l pionshp w. J. Travers meets Father 1 Sherman in the first round and the win ner of that match in all probability MT. | Travers, will meet the winner of the | Lyons-Fownes match in the afternoon.

SETTLE WAR QUESTION.
AdmiraIs Evans and Yamamoto Fire
 First Shots.

New York, July 10.-Rear Admiral Evans, after visit to Admiral Yamamo- to today, said that he had discussed the rumors of war between the countries with the Japanese admiral We settled the whole question ourselves, said Ad- miral Evans, and the first and last shots were fired by the photographers. The admiral and I are old friends. He was secretary of the navy in Japan when I was there some years ago and he has visited this country twice before. He thinks as I do that there Is nothing at all to this talk about war. Leading men of Japan and the two governments under stand each other perfectly in this mat ter and the good sense of the govern ments will prevent any trouble"

The Jim Crow Car on Trial.

From the New York World.
 While the railway rate bill was under debate in the senate the democrats were far more nearly united in It's support than the republicans, but it was a delicate question with southern members whether a covert attack was not intended upon cherished instituton-the Jim Crow car. Positive assurances to the contrary were required to allay thelr suspicious.
 The rate law went into effect Aug. Is. 1906 but the first test case involving the right of the railway companies to pro- vide separate cars for white and negro passengers was argued Saturday before the interstate commerce commission.
 Georgia Edwards, a negro woman who bought a frst-class ticket from Chatta- nooga. Tenn, to Dalton, Ga, brought complaint that she was compelled to traV- el in a Jim Crow car in which the ac- commodations were different and inferior to those at the disposal of white passen gers paying the same fare. The railway company replied that there was no dis crimina ton between the two races, only segregation
 In the end no doubt the whole matter will be threshed over in the federal courts. Georgia Edwards was certainly an interstate passenger. She is entitled to whatever protection the law may of fer. The right of the railroads, however, to operate Jim Crow cars within state boundaries Is not at stake. If the de- cison in this case is against them they may have to adopt the expedient, resort ed to in western states that passed two cent laws, of selling tickets and checking baggage only from state line to state line.
 Certainly if the Jim Crow car is abol- iSbad in interstate commerce the drdOr of the south for federal regulation of railroads will be suddenly dampened. So far, the interstate commerce commission reports, two-thirds of the appeals for relief under the rate law have come from southern and southwestern states

Will Give Fiancee Proof.
From the Boston Post

From the Boston Post.
 There Is man in Pittsburg who will be married In a short while and will oc- cupy the house a few rooms of which he has used during his bachelor days. He takes the greatest pleasure in show ing his intimate friends about the place and is especially delighted at the astonish- ment they express when his own "den" is reached. He has always been a quiet, studious fellow, but as refitted the roon gives the appearance of the lounging place of a regular rounder. There are racks of long pipes, photographs of actresses are stuck about the chimney glass. a shelf of beer steins runs all the way around the room and few feminine gloves, handker- chiefs and fans are scattered about.
 Great Scott, Jack!' the last visitor gasped, "where did you get this outfit and why?'
 Bought out a college fellow" was the complacent reply. Just think how pleased that dear little girl will be when she sees all this truck and thinks how much wckedness she has won me away from.

The statement continues: We may, therefore, be permitted to expect an early accord, which will relieve the cruise of the fleet of the slightest suspicion of unfriendliness toward Japan"
