He received respectful attention at
both meetings and feels that step
forward has been taken in the direc-

scented the interests of the people of
America and made strong arguments.
''The question of an international

Novel Contest Between the Gardners
For Buffalo Golf Championship.
Mr.. w. Allen Gardner of the Coun-
try club of Buffalo won the city cham
pionship Oh the Park club links recent
ly. The runner up was his seventeen
year-od son, Hamilton Gardner This
was the unique result of the play that
eliminated all other contestants in a
field of nearly 100 entrants. Never be-
fore in this country has a father faced
his son i'll the final of city champion
ship contest. The unusual situation
aroused the greatest interest among
golfers. and the press of the city fea-
tured the match in prominent head
lines.
Allen Gardner. the new champion.
has for years been star member of
the County club team and has played
in many tournaments in this and other
states as well as in Canada. His prov
ess as a golfer is well known, and
from the first he was considered II
likely candidate for championship hon
ors in the city tournament. But no
one thought of Hamilton in that con-
nection. The youngster has been play
ing the game only a couple of years,
but his advancement has been so rapid
that his father openly confessed his
fear of the result when the final test
came.
That his fears were well grounded
was shown at the very start of the
| match. when the boy won the first
two holes and. after halving the third,
won the fourth, making him 3 up.
1t looked very much at this stage as If
| the son was about to make a runa way
game of it. He was clearly playing
the better golf and showed absolute
confidence. without a sign of nervous
ness. The large gallery that followed
lin the wake of the strangely matched
pair. which was composed of Mr..
Gardeners old gofing friends, could
with difficulty refrain from chatting
! the father on his impending defeat;
but, of course. they restrained them
selves, although their amusement must
have been perfectly obvious to the
eXasperated sire.
| Hamilton was up at the turn
and going as smoothly as silk. But AT
this juncture the ..oid man" took a
mental bracer and proceeded to close
up the gap in the score. Right at the
tenth hole he started his gait. winning
it in 3 to Hamilton's 4. AS the bogie
is 5, it can be seen that the pair were
straining every nerve. They went
'along In bogie TO the twelfth, which
Allen won in one stroke under the
colonels pattern. For the first time ir

injured that she died in an hour The
effect Of the explosion was felt for a
great distance.
Garrett had acted strangely Of late
and had inquired the quickest means OF

that he wanted to kill the members OF
his family.

NEW FIGHT FOR PATRICK

Prove That the New Yorker
Is Innocent.

Kirksville, Mo-, June New and
sensational proof that Albert T. Pat
rick, the New York man convicted of
murder, is innocent will be presented
if the chance is given. according to
statement made here today by DIT. Will
liam Smith Of this city, who is conduct
ing a campaign to prove that the med

the introduction of new evidence. The
petitions have been signed by almost
200, 900 persons.

credited with having declared in letters
and documents in DR.. Smiths posses
sion that testimony given against Pat
rick by medical men was false.

Trinidad, Cole, June Practically
every branch OF industry in this city
and neighboring towns is at a standstin
as the result of the destruction of the
new power house of the Southern Colo
RADIO Power company today. An explo-
sion I'm the transformer started a fire
which wiped out the plant, causing a

than $500, 000 The loss due to shutting
down of mines and other Industrial
plants is incalculable. The fire is moth

dependent towns, as it cuts off the pow

urban electric lines, lighting plant

WARM WORDS FOR TWO
President Writes Commendatory Mes
sage About MagoOn and
Barry,

Washington. June president Taft
transmitted to congress with special
message today the report of Charles f.
MagoOn, VINO served as provisional COVER
nor of Cuba during the last American
occupation. The president takes coca
sion to congratulate Governor Magoou
warmly and gives high praise to Major
General Thomas II. Barry. who was in
command of the United States forces.
The message says in part:
Il think it only proper to take this
opportunity to say that the administra-
ton by Governor MagOOn Of the govern
ment to Cuba from 1903 to 1909 involved
the disposition and settlement of many
very difficult questions and required on
his part the exercise of ability and tact
of highest order. 1t gives me much pleas
ure to note the credit due to Governor
MagOon for his distinguished services.
The army of Cuban pacification under
Major General Barry was of the utmost
assistance in the preservation of the
peace of the island and the maintenance
of law and order, without the slightest
friction with the inhabitants, although
the army was admirably distributed
through the six provinces and came into
close contact with the people.
II am glad to express the hope that
the new government Will grow in strength
and self-sustaining capacity under the
provisions of the Cuban constitution"

Washington, June 5.-That danger turks
in the transportation of the bodies of
those who have died from infectious dis

sion of the annual meeting Of the confer
ence of state and provincial boards of
health of North America The committee
appointed to report on the subject found
fault with the present system of shipping
bodies from one state into another, and
pointed out the necessity for changes IN
the present regulations, adopted twelve
years ago. An amendment offered by DR..

shipment of bodies was q matter within

REPORT IS MADE
ON MEXICAN OIL
Chief GeologiSt Believes Pro-
duct Cannot Compete in
Outside Markets.
EFFECT IN UNITED STATES
MAY REDUCE DEMAND FOR FUEL
FOR MEXICO.

Washington. June 5.-President Taft
and Secretary BaIinger reached the
conclusion that it would not be incon-
sistent with the interests of public
service to divulge the details of infor-
nation gathered in the oil fields of Mex
leo recently by DR.. c. W. Hayes, chief
geologist. This decision was commu-
uicated to the senate today in a mes
sage from the White house in response
TO a senate request. The conclusions
are stated as follows:
while these fields promise to yield
large quantity of crude oil, its quality
is such that il cannot compete under
present conditions in the markets of
the United States or Europe with the
high grades of petroleum of the Illinois
or mid-continent fields Further, the
conditions are such that the demand
for fuel oil and refined products in
Mexico exceeds the supply available at
present or in the future
There is practically no coal in Mex
leo. and the railroads. now dependent
upon Texas, Oklahoma and English
coal, could consume several times the
present supply of oil if it were generally
adopted as fuel The increased produc-
ton I'm the Mexican fields, therefore
will affect the United States by reduc-
ing the demand for coal; by reducing
the demand for high-grade crude oil
for refining to supply the local market,
and to some extent by competing in the
European market with American re-
fined products.
Finally, the conditions in the Mexi-
can fields are not favorable for the
small operator. and it is highly prob
able that production as well as refining
viii remain i'm the control of a very few
strong companies"

Cottage Grove, Ore, June 5.-A pas
senger train, consisting OF an engine

Southeastern railroad, on its return trip
from Wildwood and the Bohemia mines
late today, went through a bridge
which spans Roe river, about five miles
east of here. About fifteen persons

engineer, is expected to die. His chest
was crushed and he was injured IN
ternally.
The bridge collapsed in the center and
the car and tender went down and
were partially submerged. The prompt
ness of Engineer Ostrander, who locked
the brakes, prevented the engine from
rolling back on top of the wrecked cars.
Ostrander was injured by the twisted
iron and steel bars on the engine as it
was severed from the tender. John
COOter. the fireman, was thrown into
the river, swan ashore uninjured. hur-
ried to a telephone and called for as.
