NEW YORK. June 21.-Jerome d.
Travers, the national amateur golf
champion, who returned from England
today, told why he did not get past
the first round in the amateur cham
pionship of Great Britain at Muir field.
"Their system Of playing golf is en-
tirely different from ours said Mr..
Travers "and they have many more
good players than we have. When the
best gather to compete for a cham
pionship golf of high class is furnished
from the start. OF course I had to
contend against a strange, raw, foggy
climate and different turf from what
we have here.
with regard to my particular

the other hand, my opponent not only

a case over which he was to preside,
but gave as his personal opinion that
1t seemed as though a grevious mis-
take had been made, when Berg was
simply discharged and not. investi-
gated as soon as it was thought he
had any connection with the death of
Grassmee.
Calls Methods Lax
at looks,'' concluded Justice Thomas,
"as if the methods employed were a
little lax. have only to be guided by
the testimony which will be given and
will give an impartial hearing
The Judge remarked that he be-
lieved the stirring up of such affairs
was for the public good and thor
oughly believed in investigating pub
lie institutions often.
1t was admitted by many that the
sudden death of George Ackler, who
was the only person that testified that
he had seen Berg use brutality, pick
UP Grassmee and throw him against
the bed on the night of June 5, made
the case of the prosecution against
Berg more difficult. 1t is generally ad-
mitted as the result of the autopsy
conducted by Coroner Van Vie into
the death of Ackler. that Ackler's
death was from natural causes and
strange coincidence. The autopsy also
showed that Acklers brain was in nor
NAL condition, and that what he had
testified could be depended on.

SACRAMENTO, June 21.-Three par
dons were issued today by Lieut.-Gov.
Warren Porter.
Ralph A. Huntington of San Fran
cisco was freed from San Quentin on
a recommendation from the prison sur

tuberculosis. He had served but one
of his four years for manslaughter.
w. e. Mitchell, serving seventeen

tors. He was paroled in December
1906, and had not violated a clause of
the conditions.
John Stevens of Calaveras county,
sentenced to twenty-seven years for
burglary, was the third to receive par
don. He was freed because his good
time would not apply on his entire sem

Three excellent vaudeville acts and a
sparkling musical comedy comprise the
bill at the Unique this week. La Sale
and Lind present clever club juggling
act in which they pass eight clubs at
the same time. Fern and Mack present
a tramp speciality with appropriate
"patter" Harry Fields has a clever
monologue, during which he Introduces
his Hebrew and Italian character work.
my Uncle from Japan J. 7. Kelly's
second production at the Unique,
is the FUNNIEST comedy yet pre-
sented by the Unique players. 1t serves
to introduce the three new members Of
the company, Miss Lillian Massey,
James T. Kelly and Louis Lytton, in
roles in which they are at home. James
Kelly handles the principal comedy
part of the role of Obadiah Dawson,
who falls in love with a photograph,
and sends his nephew, Jack Martin, to
interview her. The latter marries her,
and the resulting comedy is keen and
amusing.
The summer scale of prices went into
effect at the Walker theater yesterday,
and two big houses responded. Eliza
beth Houston and company of three
people headed a bill of rare excellence
in a merry farcelet called "A Cousin of
Nine" full of laughs and genuine
comedy. Clever Madeline Rowe re-
peated the hit she made on her last
visit and took the house by storm with
an entirely different act. Her sweet
voice, winsome manner and quick
changes pleased without stint. Wilbur
S. Western, a new conner, made a pro-
nounced success of his original offer
ing, demonstrating why he has been
star in the Hi Henry aggregation for
two season. His quaint southern dia-
lect is perfect, while his facial express
sions fairly convulsed the audience. The
new Illustrated song, as sung by Joseph
Manley, has a great swing and wlis-
tling quality. The motion pictures, as
shown on the Walkerscope, are the
largest thrown in town, and the sub
jects are clean as we'll as entertaining.
The travelette is instructive as we'll
as enjoyable. The pop concert ar
ranged by Director Nelson contained
several new numbers just received from
New York.

AGREEMENT OVER ISLAND

TOXIC. June 22.--There is good rea-

ship OF Pratas island, cluster of rocks
lying in the China sea off the Philip
pine group, has been amicably adjust

basis of the agreement is thought to
be that Japan yields all claim to own

purchase the interests of Nishizawa,
Japanese settler on the island.
A commission will be appointed to

The American farmer Of to-day needs
no government assistance to be thrifty
and prosperous or shiftless and poor.
Every farming district offers the Illus.
tration-two farms side by side with
land of the same fertility, the same
accessibility to market, the same wa
ter. precisely the same conditions. On
the one are well-kept buildings, we'll
oiled machinery, well-fed stock, clean
looking fields and tidy fences. On the
other are dilapidated barns, broken
fences and wagons and mowers rot
ting in the elements. One needs no
government assistance, the other would
be better for it. One will be indus
trious. ambitious and provident. The
other will be lazy and poor. The
American farmer is the most independ-
ent Of American citizens. Prevailing
political, social or economic conditions
make little difference OH the farm. He
doesn't need bonuses, police protection,
paternalism nor much law. He not
only supplies but creates his own needs.
He doesn't look beyond his own econom-
ic circle, because lie doesn't have to.
All the American farmer wants Is to
be left alone. He doesn't even whine
for square DEAL" because when lie
conceives the necessity lie has the
mind and the means to get 1t himself.

rHo-RAD-x, THE NEW RAD1uM.

Rays That Cost Little and Have
Fine Curative Properties.
Tho-rad-X is combination of rare
radioactive substances, the formula OF
which I shall later give to the profess
sion, says Frank H. Blackman in Har-
per's Weekly. 1t is flexible, soft, non
Irritating substance. made to cover
any desired area; easily sterilized by
flame, alcohol, ether, boiling water OF
antiseptics. incapable of absorption of
effete products or antiseptics or. in
fact. of any material or substance
whatsoever.
Its therapeutic action is slower than
that of radium. absolutely safe, and
Its cost within reason. Around 1t we
can associate all the physical phenom
ena associated with radium. The elm.
lcal evidence demonstrates Its positive
value in tho treatment of disease.
Tho-rad-X cannot be called discov.
cry. 1t is the natural result of work
and therapeutic experience,
The therapeutic value of tho-rad-X
has been established beyond question
during the fourteen months in which
we have been using it for the treat
ment of disease. 1t has never failed
to give relief and in many cases II
has cured. Some of the diseases on
which 1t acts successfully are cancer
tuberculosis of the skin. ulcers, birth
marks and nervous affections. It's rays
are as effective as those of radium
although 1t does not act so quickly
Its moderate action keeps 1t from be-
Ing harmfully caustic, as radium is
likely to be when in the hands of I'M
skilled persons.
In fact, the discovery is of SO great
Importance to humanity that 1 hest
tate to express myself adequately for
fear that / should seem to be going
beyond the mark. There is no doubt
at all that tho-rad=X possesses every
quality and all the curative virtues
of radium. 1t will be sold to surgeons
physicians and laymen through cen
trail agency to be established In Chi
cago at a cost merely sufficient to de
fray the expense of manufacture.

uydrocyanic Acid I'm Plants.

One of the most remarkable develop
ments of modern agricultural science
is the bringing to light of the fact that
hydrocyanic acid is common in many
OF our economic plants. Hydrocyanic
acid is better known rs Prusslc acid.
and Is one of the deadliest poisons.
1t used to be supposed that certain
plants were always poisonous and
other plants always safe to use. But
agricultural Investigators have shown
that this is not the case. Some Of the
safest of them, so regarded. may be-
come very deadly at times.
This is because the poison is more
abundant at times than ut others. Thus
sorghum is a very healthful plant to
feed to cattle at most times, but there
are times when the amount of poison
In 1t is very great. This is when it is
