TAFT BEATS L|HLETON
ON THE GOLF LINKS
President Then Chides New
York Representative About
Republican Victory.

AUGUSTA. Ga, March 16.-President
Taft and Represen = i've Martin w. Lit
Teton of New York played an Interesting
game of golf yesterday. The match was
i arranged last Saturday. In a way it was
heralded as a contest between the repub-
! lican and democratic parties, and the
President, as the representative of the
former, Unexpectedly won. Mr. Littleton,
who at the last election, had the dis
tinction OF defeating Col. Roosevelt's
friend and neighbor, Representative Cocks
of Oyster Bay, was regarded by the ex-
perts here as having shade On the Presi-
dent at the game. But he was taken en-
| tirely off his guard by the Presidents
play, and Mr.. Taft won rather handily
by score Of . up and / to play The
entire eighteen holes were played out,
! and the Presidents medal score was % to
Mr.. Littleton's %.
The match attracted great attention
among the golfers at the Country Club.
One of it's most interesting features was
the fact that the President and the repre-
sentative occasionally seemed to get side
tracked on some political issue or some
point OF constitutional law, and would
stand for several minutes gesticulating and
arguing with each other, apparently for
getfui of the game itself and needless as
to whether the balls. recently driven from
| the tee. had fallen into bunker or not.
The golfers who were playing behind the
match seemed to enjoy the situation
rather than feel put out by the delay to
their own games
Jokes About the Game.
Mr.. Lttleton came in for a good deal
of chiding, in which the President laugh
ingly joined with the remark that you
democrats are always letting us repub-
| licans beat YOU" Declaring he felt ut
| terly chagrned,' the representative left
late yesterday for New York.
Returning from the golf links, Presi-
dent Taft found Representative John Dali
zell of Pennsylvania waiting to see him.
Hello, Johnr' he exclaimed. What
the deuce are you doing here? Have you
come to tell me you have changed your
mind and that you are going to vote
for Canadian reciprocity"
The Presidents laughter rang through
the corridors Of the hotel as he slapped
the representative on the back
Not by darned sight" replied Mr.
Dalzell with smile that had much of
the grim about 1t.
Not Discussing Politics.
Mr.. Dalzell has been taking little va
cation at Aiken, S. c.. and ran over to
augusta Tor IuncnCOn with party or
friends. Politics had nothing to do with
his call.
John D. Rockefeller who occupied
quarters close to the Presidents at the
hotel where both were stopping. left yes
terday for New York. 1t was reported
here that Mr.. Rockefeller. in the belief
that the United States Supreme Court
soon will hand down a. decision in the
Standard OIL trust" cases. desired to be
in close touch with the situation az New
York. Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Rockefeller met
but once-a passing salute-on the golf
links at distance OF 200 feet.

It is said that upon the arrival Of the

YOUNG RUSSELL LAWSON DEAD.
Autoist Succumbs to Injuries Received
Thanksgiving Day.

Greenwood, July 91.-Russell Law
son, the young boy whose reputation
as an automobile racer was State
wide until he was injured so severely
last November that he could no longer
figure in races, died here last night at
the home of his mother, Mrs. Kate
Lawson, on Oak street. Young Law
son, who was only 19 years old at the
time Of the accident, made a brave
fight for life, but it has been known
ever since the accident that he could
never recover. .-~
Young Lawson was making pre-
1iminary run in his car, Ford SO, on
the track in Columbia Saturday after
noon, November 5, 1910, when the ac-
cident occurred. While going rapidly
the spindle Of the right fore axle
broke and he was thrown violently
from the car, striking small oak tree
near the track, the blow fracturing his
spinal column. He was picked up un-
conscious by a gentleman riding be-
hind him, hurried to hospital in Co.
lumbia, and though he subsequently
regained consciousness, he never arose
from his bed. His lower limbs have
been uaralyzed since the accident. He
remained in Columbia some time but
some months ago was brought here to
his mothers. He has been growing
weaker for the past few weeks. He is
survived by his mother and two Sis
ters here Conductor J. M. Lawson, of

group within the asylum grounds. The
main building, which the fire swept,
is a four-story brick structure with
basement, 200 feet in length AID
about 20 feet wide with wings a. either
end. The women patients, numbering
about $50, occupied quarters in tie
west wing. The remainder of the
building was taken Up with mems
wards and contained SONG of the mos
desperate cases in the asylum. The
women were moved without serious
difficulty to the adjoining building.
The situation among the men was
more serious. The fire broke out OIL
the fourth floor in what is AaoWn as
section D, where the violent insane
are kept. Most Of the men, guarded
by attendants, moved down three
flights of stairs; out of the fire zone,
in orderly procession, but a score,
driven into a frenzy by the sitting
smoke and the excitement of a mid
night fire. fought off their rescuecs
with desperate fury. Three Of 1hen
after being carried down to the Sec
ond floor broke away and fed back
to the blazing corridors.
The flames in the meantime had
spread down the hallway and were
eating their way through the floor to
the third story. The asylum brigade,
although fighting bravely, was handi-
capped by the maniacs and was losing
control.
The city brigade, which had been
summoned, was then toiling up the al
most precipitous roadway leading to
the asylum grounds. It was nearly 2
o'clock before the first Of their appa-
fatus was brought into play. The
fremen ran scaling ladders up the
third and fourth floor windows, where
it was believed some Of the unfortu
mates had fed. They found it difficult
work to break down the iron gratings
on the windows and the fire in the
meantime was growing fercer every
minute.
Crawling into the sitting smoke the
f1remen groped their way about until
they found a maniac. He was still able
to offer resistance and it was neces-
sary to knock him senseless, when he
was dropped into the life nets below.
Eight Of the insane and one attend
ant who had lost consciousness in the
work of rescue were saved, and it was
believed at o'clock that every patient
had been taken out of the burning Sec
ton Of the building. The combined
fire forces had the situation well in
hand at $50. The two upper floors
and the roof OF the east wing were
burned and the lower floors were
flooded with water.
AS the fremen worked their way in
to the burned section the bodies were
found. Three we're in the hallway on
the top floor and one helpless paraly-
tic was burned to death in his cell.
-Four more corpses were found hud-
dler together in a small room.'

pending strength and energy when by
spending a little money to secure con-
venience and ease in work, the farm
mother may be conserved to her fam
lily, and continue to NC help In the
busy world. All farm women have, in
q large degree, the same experiences,
and therefore they can and should help
each other. They should meet 60 ais
cuss problems of mutual interest; they
should organize country clubs with the
object of securing the best conditions
in their home life: of broadening the
outlook Of the home; Of encouraging
social spirit and of elevating the char
acter Of farm life.
"Oneof the most vital problems with
which the farmers wife has to do Is
how to shorten the farmers work day.
The practice of working from sun up
to nightfall and afterwards doing the
chores is driving the boys from the
farm. II all the farmers in neigh
borhood would quit work in time for
six O'clock supper, long STRIDE
would be taken towards making the
farm home an ideal home. Most bust
ness men work closes with the day.
but how about the farmer and his
family? When townspeople are at
leisure our husbands and' sons are
milking the cows, bedding the horses.
and doing the rest of the chores. They
wear overalls so many hours Of the
week that they are rot entirely at
ease in other clothes. They are too
tired to keep up their interest in the
outside world, frequently falling to
sleep over the newspaper. Indeed, to
bed is about the only place this ex-
hausted man Of the early evening is
fit to go, for a tired man is not a
social creature.
Washing dishes after late supper
with a nodding husband IN the next
room and your nearest neighbor from
a quarter to mile away does not
foster love for the farm. 1t need not
be wondered at that we are insisting
that the farm day must be shortened

opment of the mental and spiritual,

Mr.. AND MRS. e. H.
STILES CELEBRATE

The fiftieth wedding anniversary of
Hon. Edward H. Stiles and
Mrs. stiles, former residents of Of
tumwa, was celebrated September 10,
at Long Beach, CAL In writing about
the happy affair, one Of the guests
sends the following to the Courier:
Tuesday, September 10, 1911, was a
golden letter day in the lives of Hon,
and Mrs. Edward H. Stiles, for many
years prominent residents of Ottum-
wa, now located in the land Of "sun-
shine and flowers" southern. Califor-
MIA. Their daughters, Mrs. Egbert
Gates and Miss Bertha Stiles, having
arranged for an elaborate dinner at the
Hotel Virginia, at Long Beach in honor
Of the fiftieth anniversary of their
parents wedding, invited few old
time friends to join the relatives in the
celebration Of the important event.
The guests were seated at one long
table beautifully decorated in yellow
(emblematic of the gold), California
peoples being the flower used in pro-
fusion, while steamers Of yellow gauze
were carried from the chandelier to
the ends of the table and bunch of
the peoples tied with ribbon was
placed in front Of each plate. In the
center of the table a miniature bride
and groom stood surrounded by a
mound OF the peoples. On one end of
the place cards, hand-painted, were a
bridal couple, the bride dressed as a
demure little Quakeress, while the
dates, 1861-1911, were in letters of
gold on the other end of the card.
AS the dinner was served, and yell
low marked each course, Mr.. Stiles
finally remarked that he wondered
"Why so much yellow was served, that
the dinner was beginning to look
bilious" OF course, he was instantly
reminded that this was a golden day.
Among the favored few old friends
were: DR.. and Mrs. Arthur C. Stilson,
DR.. Stilson having been rector Of the
Episcopal church in Ottumwa a num-
Der of years. Mrs. Thomas H. Phillips
Bert Phillips mother, of Ottumwa;
Judge and Mrs. Caldwell of Keosau-
qua, and Hon. w. F. Doty, United
States consul to Riga, Russia. Mr.
and Mrs. stiles met the latter while
spending last winter in Riga with their
son, Mason Vernon Stiles, the famous
Tenor singer, and whom, in a way, Mr.
Doty represented on this occasion
when the son could not be present.
The older son, DR.. Edward Stiles, Of
Tucson, Ariz., was represented by his
wife.
Before the party disbanded Mrs.
Phillips kindly suggested. continu-
tnce of the celebration by having the
