ENGLISH GOLFER LEADS
IN QUALIFYING ROUND

, Ouimet on his forenoon round played
just as brilliantly and steadily as Var
don. He got both length and direction
with iron and wood and putted better
than Nardon. There was a burst of
cheering when he turned in "A for his
first round.
In the afternoon Ouimet did even better
on the outward trip than on the first
round. He headed for home with a card
of IS and played smoothly until he reach
ed the fourteenth hole, when he sliced
into sand pit. on the eighteenth also he
pulled into the rough. but a splendidly
executed mashie shot placed him on the
green more than $50 yards away. He just
missed 20-foot putt which would have
given him tie score with Vardon of 15l.

not show anything startling in the way of

haps, the most interesting part of the
brief court procedure.
Mr.. Jerome, in addressing the court,
was sharply reprimanded when he re-
ferred to "1oquaclous counsel of the

Mr.. Jerome sat down. George Morris
of Thaws New Hampshire lawyers, ad-
dressed the court. He said in brief
l.that the writ in Thaw's behalf had been
obtained because. under the New Hamp-
shire statutes, there was no recourse
to the courts If the governor honored
the eXtradition warrant and the New
York authorities cared to remove the
fugitive instantly.

a year the company would pay his trans

Founded on Federal Laws

| 'Generally speaking, the states have
recognized the power of extradition as
emanating from federal source. This is
peculiarly so in respect to New Hamp-
| shire.
! New Hampshire expressly recog
nizes the laws of the United States as,
the foundation for extradition
1T is perfectly obvious that some find
| ings OF the executive of the state might
| be accepted as conclusive and binding
upon both state and federal courts, and
1t is equally obvious that questions might
arise before the executive, where its ac
| ton would not be binding upon either.
! Upon the question as to what findings
| would be conclusive and what not con-
elusive. | make no intimaton whatever.
Holding pendency and control of these
proceedings under suspension nenaces
neither the rights of the parties concerned
nor of the state authorities. Such con-
siderations make it justlfiabe that the
hearing under the writ before US be sus-
pended to the end that the executive of
the state shall have free hand in re-
spect to the extradition Investigation
I 1T must be understood that 1t is open
to the petitioner. at any time. to press his
alleged constitutional right of an i'm
| mediate hearing 1t is likewise open to
the parties representing the state of New
York. or the state of New Hampshire to
move at any time for hearing or for
dismissal of the writ"
In conclusion the court said that Thaw
was subject to recomnitment to state
authority, to be held to bail or placed in
the custody of suitable keepers. He rec
commended Marshall Mute and Holman A.
Drew, sheriff of Coos county, as Gus
todians and they were selected.
Thaw Openly Cheered
For the first time since his return to
the United States after his sudden depor-
tation from Canada. Thaw was openly
cheered today Arriving early from Cole
brooke near where he was arrested last
week, enthusiastic and sympathetic
crowds greeted him at the station and
when he descended to Main street after
his court victory and was taken to his
hotel for dinner, hurrahs greeted him as
he passed.
Throughout the afternoon motor cars
blocked the streets outside his quarters
and hundreds of pedestrians crowded the
sidewalks.
During the early part of the court pro-
ceedings Thaw avoided the eyes of
Jerome, but when he saw that his old
enemy was not pressing the attack that
he had outlined, that the writ had not
been obtained on good faith, but a
means of delay he raised his eyes to the
face of Jerome, and when the latter failed
to put in evidence an affidavit of news

that the Thaw lawyers were merely spar

him tonight was Ex-Governor William A.

The lighting of the room is per-

with a mystic slow-delicate, re-

point of light is visible: the cleo
trio lights are in apertures or
domes in the ceiling, and diffused
light only is visible. Strange to
relate, this effect adds to the
exquisite beauty of the pictures

blooming of two weeks of opening

the growing of butterflies are of
exceeding beauty and scientific
interest.

lions of people, longing for new
things outside of deeply worn

IT HE missing continent of At
lantis. whose extraordi-
nary story as told by the
Greek philosopher, Plato. is at
once a fascinating romance and
the greatest of geographical mys
terfes, has again become the sub
Ject of learned discussion.

formerly a continent in the midst

all its splendid cities, as the tradi-
' tons gathered by Plato declared.
are any traces of it now to be
found on the bottom of the sea
In the light of modern science is
1t possible to admit that a. catas-
trophe of such unexampIed mag
nitude as the swallowing up of a
whole continent could occur?
These are some of the questions
reawakened by the investigation
OF the subject which NJ. l.. Ger
main has recently published in the
"Annales de Geographic"
The clue to the mystery that NJ.
German follows is that which is
furnished by the existence of the
island groups of the Canaries. the
Madeiras, Cape de Verde and
the Azores. These islands lie in
deep water near the place where
Plato said Atlantis existed. Al
though they are widely separated.
they possess plants and animals of
the same Species and these spe-
cies are similar to those found in
Southwestern Europe and North
ern Africa, but entirely different
from those of Equatorial Africa.
This fact is regarded as indi-
eating that the islands in question
once formed part of continuous
continent, which was either di-
rectly connected with Southern
Europe and Northern Africa by a
bridge of land, or lay so close to
them that animals and plants
could easily cross over the inter
vening strip of sea.
Moreover, there are living in
these islands species of plants and
animals which once existed, but
now exist no longer, in Europe,
where their remains are to be
found in deposits of the Tertiary
Age. The explanation would seem
to be that these plants and ami
mails lived contemporaneousIy in
Europe and the continent of At
lantis during Tertiary times, but
have since become extinct in Eu-
rope, although they continue to
exist on the islands which are the
only visible remains Of Atlantis.
But there is another curious
species inhabiting these mysteri-
Gus islands not only resemble
those of Southern Europe and
Northern Africa, but also those of
the West India Islands and Cen
trail America. This suggests that
the continent of Atlantis ex-
tended completely across the
ocean and was connected with
America on the west.

associated with the New World as
with the Old and formed means

of communication between them
Here, perhaps, is the explanation
of the singular resemblance of
the arts and ideas of the vanished
people who built the ruined cities
of Central America and those Of
the ancient inhabitants around
the shores of the Mediterranean
Sea and in the land of the Nile
Atlantis was kind of common
- ground, or meeting place, for the
predecessors of these various peo-
pies.
The science of geology does not
forbid US to think that a continent
might sink.
The ups and downs of the
earth's crust have been many in
the course of the geological ages
and one of the greatest authori-
ties of the present day, the Ger
man professor, Suess, has de-
clared in advance that he sees no
reason why parts of the ocean or
even the dry land may not to-
morrow sink to form new DEPTHS
Suess even thinks that Greenland
may be one of the remnants of an
ancient continent which occupied
large part OF the Atlantic basin
and which could have been no
other than that tabled land of At
lantis, echoes of whose vanished
glories were yet vibrating in HUI
man tradition in the days Of
Plato.
These things carry the imagi-
native mind to the depths Of the
sea and call up pictures of the
marvels that might be discoveredt
there if the ocean could be dried
up, or if a means could be found
for exploring its profundities in
submarine vessels as perfect as
that which Jules Verne's Captain
Memo constructed.
They also summon up an awful
vision of the unparalleled calam-
ity that put an end to the life OF
an entire continent. Not only pa
latial cities, vast cultivated lands.
forests, roads, fields, gardens, vii
lagos, but whole hills, valleys and
mountain chains were swallowed
together by the universal thrush
of the whelming waters. The
more splendid Plato's account Of
the civilization of the inhabitants
of Atlantis, the more terrible ap-
pears that dies irae, that day Of
wrath" when they felt the solid
ground dissolving beneath them
and when the whole earth seemed
to be sinking down! down! into
bottomless pit. until the foaming
and roaring ocean closed over
everything.
Possibly here is to be found the
original of that tradition which
has arisen again and again among
all peoples, in all ages, of cata-
clysmic deluge, destroying by
wholesale the sons of men be
cause they had blindly offended
the Ruler of the Universe. And
in that case how otherwise should
we regard those islands, now sup
posed to be projecting points OF
submerged Atlantis than az the
Ararats of that doomed land?
