INTERESTING NOTES FROM ALL
THE LOCAL GOLF CLUBS

That golf is becoming very popular
with officers of the army and naval
service is evidenced by the fact that the
various golf clubs Of this city are getting
lots of recruits from all branches of the
service. We learned yesterday that there
is a method in the sporting madness of
the officers of the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps, and the Interior motive is
prompted by d desire on the part OF
these officials to sugar-coat a recent or
der Of the departments that required the
officers to walk or ride certain distances
four times year. Now, these officers
obey the letter OF law and at the same
time get pleasure out of il. So many of
these in the higher ranks of the three
branches Of the service now perform the
pedestrian stunt by trekkinS out to tie
golf clubs and then playing tnirty-siN
70 upward of fifty holes. Thus the three
day work Is performed TO the satisfaction
Of the departmental officials and the
leasure oil the officers.

Will Be Brought Tuesday at New
York by the Government.

Washington, June GA civil anti
trust suit against the Periodical Pub
fishers Association, commonly called
the Magazine Trust. will be filed in
the United States district court at

justice that the defendant association
practically controls distribution of

ed against.
The bill was completed today and
the understanding is that United

EFFORT TO ADVANCE BILL.
Chairman Penrose Starts Campaign
Wednesday-The Outlook.

Washington, June ga persistent eff
fore, beginning tomorrow, to advance the
Canadian reciprocity bill in the Senate by
getting unanimous consent for date
upon which to vote on it. and for sep
arate dates for voting on the House wool
and free list bills, will be made by Chair
man Penrose of the Senate finance com
mittee. He does not count upon imme-
date success, however, with the Root
amendment to the wood pulp and print
paper schedule of the bill disposed of to
his satisfaction. Mr.. Penrose said after
canvass of the Senate that his plan had
met with more encouragement than he
had anticipated. The stand-pat Republl-
cans made little or no objections and the
Democrats none. but generally the Insur-
gent Republicans We're not favorable to
the proposal. They want time to present
the issues fully to the country and to the
Senate. Even these objections Mr.. Pen
rose hopes to overcome in time and if his
first request tomorrow is not aceeded to
he will repeat it day after day.
The announcement that such a staunch
stand-patter as the chairman of the fl
nance committee was willing to take the
chances of vote on any of the tariff
measures caused surprise. but ii is known
that with many other Republicans of like
views he Is willing to permit test on
the tariff There is some apprehension
among Republican senator's that the wool
bill may pass if vote is reached, but
they affect to feel assured that in such
event the President would veto the meas
ure according to his promise to postpone
all tariff legislation until report can
be received from the tariff board.
During the day there was general
tightening up of the lines in favor of the
reciprocity bill The friends of the meas
ure on the Democratic side continue the
canvass of the situation and when the
Senate adjourned they said that no fu-
ture amendment would receive more
than five Democratic votes. The Dem
oeratic senators classed against the bill
and favorable to amendments are Bailey.
Simmons. Clarke of Arkansas. Thornton
and Foster. and even some of these are
ranked as doubtful.

would undoubtedly be open to different
interpretations of the Root amend
m-nt were not adopted, and that the
courts would finally have to pass on
the matter.
Senator Thornton of Louisiana de-
nounced the measure on the ground
that it Disseminated against the agri-
cultural element.
Admitting the PROBABILITY of the de-
feat of the Root provision later in the
day, Mr.. Thornton still advocated it.
He said he did not want Canada to
get the advantage that would be given
by the wood pulp provision as 1t
stands. Senator Clark of Wyoming
also advocated the Root amendment
as the only possibility of making the
measure in any degree reciprocal
THE measure is now distinctly
Democratic and | want to put little
Republication in it" he said and add
ed that he was against the whole
agreement with Canada.

ment to the bill making the tariff rate

Final Effort Wednesday in
Dayton's Strange Case.
Snow Children viii Be Taken
To Assist in Hunt for Body.
Story mistaken Despite Several
Conferences with Authorities.

Biddeford, Me. June 26-1n a final eff
| fort TO locate the grave of Charles l.
Weymouth, the Saco butcher, who Gladys
and Beatrice Snow have declared was
! murdered and buried on their father S
| farm at Dayton three years ago. Sheriff
Charles o. Emery will tomorrow take
the children to the Snow house to assist
in the search Continued failure to find
any trace of the body has caused the au-
thorities to discredit the story, but al
though several conferences have been
held with the children the officers have
been unable to shake their story in the
least.
Word reached the authorities today that
man had been found who knew Wey-
mouth to have been in this part of the
country three years ago, the time the
murder is said to have taken place. This
is in contradiction of the claim that the
man has been in Canada for the past five
years.
60 thoroughly impressed were the au-
thorities with another interview they had
with the two young Snow children in
which they repeated in detail the sensa-
tional, eircumstantial story which led to
the arrest of two men on the charge of
murder and of their own mother Mrs
Maude Snow of Dayton, on the charge of
being an accessory after the fact, that
they began another and much more thor
ough search today of the woods and
swamp adjoining the Snow farm on the
lonely Dayton road for the body of
Charles l. Weymouth. who the children
declared was beaten to death in the
Snow kitchen three years ago this Sep
TENDER.
High Sheriff Charles o. Emery who
suspended the search over Sunday. arriv-
ed on the scene just before noon and took
personal charge of the search. He was as
sistd by Deputy Sherihs James r. MeKeen
of Dayton, A. K. Pennel of Biddeford and
others of his force. 1t was proposed to
employ about Is men to go thoroughly
and systematically over the ground and
find the body, if it is there or it is posi-
Bile to do so. II had not been determined
whether to set the large crew at work
today or tomorrow.
The claim of Henry A. Hewes, the rural
mail carrier that Weymouth is alive and
in Cana ia, has been under investigation
since Saturday night. but up to this fore
noon no trace of Weymouth has been found
in the localities in which Mr.. Hewes be-
lieved he would be found.
