Washington, September 1s.-Whether the
attack should be made on the Amer
lean Telegraph and Telephone company,
the so-ealled Bell telephone trust, under
the Sherman antitrust law, is being con-
sidered by Attorney General McReynolds.
More complaints from independent tele-
phone interests that the big company is
crushing competition have been received
recently by the Attorney General, who
indicated today that he must soon entire
~ decide whether the department of JUS
tice would await the conclusion of the
interstate commerce commission inquiry
or undertake an investigation with the
purpose of bringing a civil suit if the
facts warrant.
The interstate commerce commission's s
inquiry, undertaken at the request of
former Attorney General Wickersham,
probably will require two or three years.
1t is a question whether Attorney Gen
eral MeReynolds will feel justified in re-
framing from moving under the Sher-
man law in the meantime
The commissions investigation is de-
signed to develop a governmental policy
involving ultimately a decision whether
the telephone should be owned and oper-

The men arrested at Peidras Negras

English Golfers Forge To
Front In National TOURNEY

Broollline, Mass. September 1S.-Playins
golf of a calibre seldom seen in America,
two of the trio of English professional
forged TO the front today in the first half
of the nineteenth annual open tonrna-
ment OF the United states Golf associa-
tion and at dusk led the field by margin
of two strokes
Harry Vardon and Wilfrd Reid turned
in cards of 147 for the first Sc holes Ed
ward Ray divided second place with Her
bert Strong of the Inwood club Of Inwoodl
y. Y, each having 149 Mcdonald Smith
of New York and j. II. Barnes of Ta-
coma, were bracketed in third position
with 150. After the leaders came a long
line of professionals broken here and
there by the name of a prominent anna
teur.
Francis Oulmet had the honor of show
ing the way for the amateurs with card
of 15l, which placed him in a tie with
Willie Hagin Alex Ross and George Sar-
gent for fourth place. Louis Teller, the
French professional. turned in 152, which
gave him fifth place in company with
c. ID. Thom of Shinnecock Hills. Fred
Herreshoff, the Long Island amateur;
Jack McDermott, present open champion,
and Jack Hutchinson divided the honors
of sixth place with 153 while Jerome
Travers, the amateur champion had to
be satisfied with a card of 156.
Edward Ray, the giant Englishman,
stood out as the hero of the days play.
Starting poorly on his morning round,
he came back with a really wonderful
afternoon round in 10. breaking the course
record and lifting him from ninth to sec
ond place. His two countrymen, Harry
Vardon and Reid, while far more con-
sistent than Ray and two strokes better
than he ON the days play, lacked the
brilliant rally and thrill in their work
that caused Ray to be applauded by the
gallery as he finished
Weather conditions were perhaps more
favorable to the British invaders than to
the entrants from the states. It rained
heavily until shortly before the starting
hour and the fair ways and green's lost
much of their keenness. Overhead were
leaden gray clouds and the air was heavy
with humidity. The English players with
their long carries from the tee gained an
advantage over the United States repre-
sentatives, who lost much of the effec-
tveness of their drives when the ball
dropped dead and without roll ON the
heavy turf.
Nardon and Ray divided the early day
gallery between them and the spectators

Another Phase Discovered

Another phase of Schmidts surreptf-
tious activities while a priest at ST.
Joseph's church came to light late to-
night when 1t was learned that sew
eral detectives had spent the entire
day going over four photograph of a
death certificate found in one of
Schmidts trunks in his room at the
rectory. The photographs were made
from the original of the death GER
tificate of Robert Smith, who died In
Harlem on April 30, last, signed by DR..
j. j. Steven, a neighborhood physician.
Schmidt the detectives learned. had
visited Smiths house during his illness
and officiated at his funeral. Schmidt
went to a Harlem photographer on
April 80 in priesely garb and had the
photographs made. So far as Mrs.
Smith, the widow. knew, the certificate
had never been out of the house un-
til 1t was turned over to a Hoboken
undertaken in due course.
The detectives were puzzled as to
what use Schmidt meant TO put the pho
tographs, but finally concluded, they

certificates from the photographs. OBJ

TRAW ENJOYS LONG
AUTOMOBILE RIDE
Lull in Proceedings-Mail
Concerning the Case
POurs In

Concord, n H, September 1S.--"rhis
has been the most enjoyable day l have
had in years." said Harry X Thaw as he
returned from a long automobile ride in
the country today. The outing was ar
ranged by Sheriff Drew who has Thaw
in custody pending the outcome of the
extradition hearings before Governor Fell
ker next Tuesday
Accompanied by the sheriff and his
assistant. newspaper men and photog-
raphers, Thaw was cheered by a crowd
as the party left the hotel The auto
mobile whirled out of the city through
the village of Penacook, II miles distant,
to Boscawan. There the inviting fields
stretching alongside the state boulevard
attracted Thaw, who got down to stretch
his legs with Police officer Stevens as
his escort. Thaw for over two miles
set up a pace that forced Stevens to do
his best to keep up. When they climbed
back into the car Thaw's cheeks had
healthy flush and he was in better condi
tion apparently, as to wind than was his
guardian.
Upon the return trip visit was made
to ST. Paul's school, where Thaw's cousin,
Benjamin Thaw, Jr., was student seven
years ago.
bed early and getting a good sleep" said
Thaw when he got back But before
carrying out that part of the programme
he went over with his lawyers the results
of their all day search in the law books
of the state library for precedents bear
ing on the extradition proceedings be-
fore Governor F'eker next Tuesday.
The lawyers said they were well salts
fled with the outcome of their investiga-
tions and expressed confidence that they
had a strong case for the governors con-
sideration
William NJ. Chase of this city. former
judge of the state supreme court and
author of the official digest of New
Hampshire statutes, is taking a leading
part in this work of Thaw's lawyers.
Mail for Thaw and his counsel and COM
munications to Governor Felker concern
ing the case continue to pour in in great
quantities. Otherwise there seems to be
a lull in proceedings far as surface
indications show. There have been many
departures of those connected with the
case and no new arrivals.
A New York man who has been in Con-
cord since Monday circulating a petition
asking the governor to release Thaw,
was forcible elected from Thaw's hotel
late today. During the evening remarks
made by him were construed as a threat
against William Travers Jerome and the
police sent him out of the city.
Montreal, Que. September 1s.-Repre-
sentatives of the immigration department
account for the move that got rid of Harry
Thaw in a noncommittal fashion today
when called upon by the courts to explain
why they had disobeyed the courts or
ders in connection with the Matteawan
fugitive. The hearing resolved itself into
question of the constitutonality of the
immigration act under which c. II. DOH
erty, minister of justice, acted when he
ordered Thaw's summary deportation.
