Puts Up s15O,OOO for Moral Cleansing
of Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Dec. 26.-It is said that
Andrew Carnegie has put up about
S150, 900 in order to clean Pittsburg up
morally, following the municipal bri-
berry scandal. The story told in the
fashionable Duquesne club and the
Pfttsburg club is that the same men
who told Pittsburg conditions to Presi-
dent Roosevelt also went to Andrew
Carnegie and laid an array of facts be-
fore him. The result, according to ru-
NOR, was that he authorized expendi-
ture of $3.50, 900 in detective work, etc.
He is said to take the same stand that
Mr. Spreckels did in cleaning up San
Fran cisco.

OF tho tournament. Allen won It by perfect
pia yof the thirty-eighth hole. which he
made in one under DOGGY. amid the cheers
OF an excitable st. Louis gallery. Allen
had won the verdict of a fine sport by
picking up Cady's ball and conceding him
a two-foot putt or the thirty-seventh hole.
so he was warmly congratulated by the
local golfers on his victory after the record
tournament contest of the Rock Island

ter. Allen squared the score on the nine

the twentieth. Aliens iron shot for the
twenty-first landed him at the foot Of a
bank. Picking out his niblick he lifted the
ball onto the green dead to the hole for a
half in four. Cady was one up at the turn
and starting for home, Allen putting three
yards around what looked like a stymIe
and holed In one under DOGGY, even up.
They halved the next two holes and Allen
lost the thirty-first, his brassie landing a
sand bunker. The thirty-third he lost by
missing a short putt and was two down.
He won the next hole and then drove onto

course, while Cady sliced TO the edge OF
the course. Cady over-approached and laid
his putt two feet from the hole. Allen
went down in four and conceded Cady the
two feet putt. Both made fine drives for
the thirty eighth, but Cady dubbed his
brassie and went into a sand bunker. He
lost a stroke getting out. then sliced into
the tall grass, was out on the green in five,
but far from the hole. Aliens fourth took
