NEW HOME FOR THE
COLUMBIA GOLFERS

BY the selection of a choice site in
Chevy Chase. and the decision to spend
upward of $4,000 in gaining title to the
property, the members of the Columbia
Golf Club last night took the final steps
toward securing a home for the proposed
Columbia Country Club The meeting
OF the golfers was held in the reception
room of the Raleigh Hotel, and the de-
termination TO proceed at once to the
purchase OF the Chevy Chase property
was based upon report by the execu-
tive committee, in which the compare
tive advantages of this tract and of the
Saegmuller tract at the Virginia end of
the Chain bridge were explained. The
property TO be secured lies between the
old Chevy Chase Inn and the lake, and
several cluomen who inspected the
ground declared il one of the finest in
this part of the country for the pur-
poses intended. II will suffice to allow
a golf course 5000 yards in length.
Besides providing plan for the pur-
chase of the land the executive commit
tee also presented a detailed scheme for
the financing OF the transaction. and in
adopting the report the members of the
club voted for the issue of $ll5.O00 in 4
per cent bonds and 800 shares OF stock at
500 share. Each club member must
hold share of stock. After deducting
the amount necessary to secure the land
the club treasury will hold enough funds
10 proceed at once toward the erection of
a fifty thousa nddollar clubhouse.
After some little delberation the mem
bers who were present voted to continue
the committee for further subscription of
stocks and bonds ana the incorporation OF
the new club.
Oden Horstman said he was prepared
10 bring fifteen new members into the
club by his own efforts. Mr.. Horstman en-
couraged the other members present 10 en-
IN 10 urha toward
creasing the membership. Mr.. Horstman
is A member of the committee of the Ma
tional Golf Club.

American.
In the seventh inning of the second
game Conroy batted a pop fly into the
ether. 1t rose and fell. and when it fell
it fell among friends, for Elberfeld, Aus
tin Brockett and Chase gathered around
and watched it fall. Conroy had quit
running and was out on the grass talking
to himself when he saw that the ball
would probably fall safe. and the manner
i'm which he beat ii to the bag to try TO
save a base hit was a caution to other
young men who loiter when they should
be running for first. According to rules
he was out. for he was ten feet out OF
line when he gathered himself for sec
ond desperate rally. Some of the good
citizens thought that perhaps IL was
Conroys birthday and his old friends OF
the team were remembering him with a
present in the shape of a base hit. As
the English would say. it was "bally bad

LITTLE ON HIS GAME.
Niles Also Wins in Middle States
Lawn Tennis Tourney.


NEW YORK, July Raymond D. Lit
tie, the internationalist. was the first of
the field of the middle states lawn tennis
championship tournament to reach the
semi-final round. He was at his best
yesterday when he faced Richard H.
Palmer on the turf courts of the Orange
Lawn Tennis Club. at Mountain Station,
n. j., and controlled his short game so
splendidly that he smothered Palmer at
80. 6-3. Rather sluggish of movement
when fast footing was required. Palmer
was seldom within reaching distance of
those close twisting shots that Little
plays SO we'll when on his game.
While Little was the only one to gain
the semi-final round, the coming through
to the fourth round brought about an in
tercollegiate match in which w. Niles of
Harvard defeated Richard A. Holden of
of the intercollegiate title puzzled the
Yale man during the first set with his
fast express service and his constant use
of out strokes. With the second set
Holden began to come up TO voiley, and
demonstrated that this was his forte, for
his overhead strokes were all sure and
with plenty of pace. As a volleyer he
outplayed Niles. The Harvard man.
however, managed to work over enough
place aces to hold even and eventually
win at 1a--S
Coming through to the same round
Harry c.. Martin of the Crescent Athletic
Club recorded an upset by defeating G..

WALL STREET NOT SHAKEN BY DEATH

New York, September 10.-Wall streets response today to the death of E. H. Hartman was a buoyantly strong stock market in which securities made sensa- tional gains and held them to the end. The volume of business was enormous well over 100000 shares-and to this vast amount the better known Hartman stocks, namely Union Pacific common and Southern Pacific, alone contributed over one-third while other properties in which the late magnate was more remotely in terested added possibly as much more to the sum total.
 The day resulted in complete rout of the short interest, which was probably more extensive than even the best in formed had imagined. Even before the opening here 1t was evident from the tone of American securities in London that the strongest support was forthcoming.
 In the advances the Hartman stocks were the leaders.
 The Union Pacific and Southern Pacific trading posts were the center of attrac- ton and the enormous buying of both stocks soon caused hurried scramble to cover. A brief recession from opening prices was halted by a seml-official an- announcement that the Kuhn Loeb-City bank interests were acting in unison. v An uplift well above opening prices fol- lowed.
 By this time the bear element were in a state of utter demoralization and it is said number of private settlements were made.
 While the Hartman stocks were soar ing, Wall street was teeming with rumors, some limiting at a contest for control of Union Pacific. None took these rumors very seriously, but attention was paid to persistent reports that J. P. Morgan & Co. { were buying heavily of Union Pacific shares and that arrangements for taking a member of the Morgan firm into the Union Pacific executive committee were already completed. This was neither denied nor confirmed authoritatively.
 The markets rapid pace was maintained to the end, when the short covering was estimated at from 100000 to 5O0000 shares. There is little doubt that much of the days operations represented investment buying.
 Meetings of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific boards of directors will probably be held next Monday and 1t .s believed that something more than ex- pressions of regret at the death of MT. Hartman will then egage the attention of the directors.
 A noteworthy event in the stock market was a new high record for United States Steel common, which touched 804s points, X point above it's best previous figure.
 The more important gains of the day follow:
 Union Pacific, 121a points; Union Pacific preferred, points; Soutslern Pacific, 0 points; St. Paul. 3A points; Reading, 5 points; New York Central, 3h points, and Louisville and Nashville, Atchison, Mis- souri Pacific, United States Steel common, Western Union and International Pump, 8 points or more.
 The bond market was very strong.

And yet 1t was generally known that he was easily reached by criticism. and while apparently ignoring thrusts in the newspapers, felt any attack keenly.
 On one occasion he was attacked ed- itorially by newspaper and was spoken of as "A small potato in a big barrel.v A representative of another paper went in to see him that morning on railroad story, and the remark he was greeted with was "I do not care what they say" MT Loree was plainly angry, but the re- porter ventured, Do you mean the little potato in the big barrel?" 'Yes," replied Loree, "but time will tell," and it has told for Loree Is looked upon more than any

THIRD DEGREE FOR
 EDWARD M'CANN

Chicago, September 11.-Payment of brtbe money to Edward McCann while he was inspector of police at the Des Plaines Street station for the protection of illegal establishments was testified to under oath today in Judge Barnes court by Louis Frank, a member of the saloon firm of Frank Bros, and one of the prin- cipal witnesses for the state. Frank tes- tified that he first met McCann in the in- spector's office at the Des Plaines Street Police station in March, 1908, and that later the inspector sent for him. He de- scribed his visit to the inspector in re- sponse to this request and testified that in his office the police official asked him to collect money, which the proprietors of Illegal establishments would bring to him. in accordance with an arrangement which would be forthcoming as soon as he agreed.
