GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

First Round Of Nine
Holes; Hot Contest.

Denver, Colo, July 19.-Playing prae-
tieally at par most of the time, J. Neville
of California, present Pacific coast

Chicago, one down, and Charles Evans.
IT., of Chicago, had H. G. Legg, of Min
neapois, one down in the first round of
nine holes in the 56-hole semi finals
for the amateur championship Of the
Western Golf association, completed at
noon today. Perfect weather resulted
in faster golf than at any time during
the tournament
The match play between Legq and
Evans occupied the attention of the en-
tire gallery of the links The PLAYERS
got off well, halving the first two holes
IN five and four. On the third. Lege
drove out of bounds but recovered bv a
20 foot putt and would have won the
hole had it not been for Evans making
a hard 10 foot putt into the hole.
Legg evened things up with Evans on
the fifth, when Evans topped his drive
and he was laid a stymie.
In the sixth and seventh holes, which
were even, Legg missed two easy puts.
Evans won the eighth when Legg's ball
after a short putt, hung on the edge of
the cup. The ninth was halved after
Evans had mad a spectacular approach

WOMEN CHARGED
WITH ARSON ATTEMPT
Said that Suffragets Tried
to Burn Down Dublin
Theater.

Dublin, Ireland, July 19-Eight English
women have been arrested BY the police
in connection with the outbreaks here
last night, on the arrival Of Mr.. Asquith,
BY suffragets who have been constantly
logging tie heels Of the British premier
since he left England.
The women are charge dwith COM
plicitv in the attempt to burn down the
Dublin theater, where Mr.. Asquith IS
scheduled to speak today. A blazing
chair was thrown into the orchestra from
a box occupied by two women, who then
set fire to the box curtains. The fire
caused a panic among the audience.
The eight also are charged with com
plicitY in the attempt to iniure Mr..
Asquith by throwing a hatch at his
carriage as the party was proceeding
from the wharf to hotel.
Mrs. Mary Leigh, one of the suffra-
gets under arrest, was identified as the
thrower Of the hatch. 1t is alleged
by the police that she intended to brain
Mr.. Asquith. Mrs. Leigh has long been
a leader in the violent tactics of the
militant suffragets. As far back as
July, 1908, she was arrested for break
ing windows IN a demonstration in Lon
don.
The police found quantities of gunpow-
der. kerosene and other inflammable MA
terials in the rooms occupied by the ar
rested suffragets. The officials claim
to have evidence showing that the plans
of the militant women contemplated ser
iOus Outrages.
One of the women arrested last night
gave the name of Gladys Evans, and said
she came from England.
-Four Committed for Trial
Mary Leigh, Gladys Evans, Lizzie
Baker and Mary Golfer appeared in the
police court here today and were COM
mitted for trial
The police testified that a canister
which apparently contained gunpowder
had been exploded under the theater;
that they had found on GLADYS Evans
a bag of gunpOwder, a portion of thea
ter carpet saturated with petrol and a
basketful of lighters.
Three bottles of benZine and a tin of
gunpowder also had been discovered BY
the police authorities. Their testimony
brought out the fact that many lives
had been endangered
The Leigh woman admitted hurting
the Ratchet at Mr.. Asauith's carriage.

Against special Interests.

The chief and all inclusive demand
of Senator Bob and the Progressive
league is that the special interests be
driven out OF politics. He believes
there is a money trust which is the
progenitor of the ether trusts. In the
beginning our government Tes pure,
but the interests have corrupted It,
Now we must bring It back to the peo-
pie. This is all good doctrine. and no
body can be found who will seriously
attempt to controvert IL. Yet the SEN
ator Is not always so general in his
statements He can be quite specific,
and his remedies for these evils and
the brood Of lesser abuses that have
grown out Of them are worked out in
detail by experts. Nor are his laws
ever successfully attacked in the
courts. La Toilette is lawyer, and he
is not in the habit of enacting reforms
only to have Il coach and four driven
through them by the first court before
which they are brought.
On the tariff the Wisconsin senator
demands permanent commission re-
