BY Charles tach,ck", Evans.

There is a splendid little golf course
at Hammond. Ind. 1t is new=brand-
new-and the players are filled with
the genuine enthusiasm that usually
marks the novice. In most things.
however, when the newness wears off
bit the enthusiasm wanes. but not so
with golf In that best of sports the
players enthusiasm, as rule, in
creases with every game he plays.
A large proportion of the Hammond
population has played golf this whole
winter-in fact, / have never seen so
many red balls as at that club. So it
is fair to prophesy that the real golf
season will find the Hammond links
crowded.
All last summer 1 planned a trip to
Hammond, but the end of the warm
weather found the visit still unmade
and it was not until last Sunday that
Glen Johnson and 1 were able to go.
We were met at the station by Harry
Johnson. brother of Glen johnson, and
went at once to the golf grounds.
1t was a cold day, but golfers did
not propose to let so trivial a thing as
the weather interfere with a golf
game. I played nine holes. 1t was
rather chilly in the beginning and
then suddenly we found ourselves
playing in the midst of a snowstorm.
In spite OF the untoward condition of
the weather I was able to that the
Hammond Country club has a very
good course.
The grounds. consisting of about 30
acres, are situated entirely on the
Illinois side of the line The land, OBJ
tanned at a reasonable figure. was paid
for in cash and a portion cut up into
ninety six lots for cottage residences.
A nine-hole course has already been
> laid out by Tom Bende1ow, and they
have sufficient ground for another
nine. The land is rolling. One of the
holes. about $40 yards in length. is one
of the longest holes ever attempted
to play.
Edward Garre. the professional at
the Chicago Athletic club. assumes
that position at Hammond on April Is
They are well fixed along that line
too.

ABE ATTELL
COMES BACK

New York, March 2o-Abe Attell
"came back" last night and stopped
Ollie Kirk of ST. Louis in the third
round of their scheduled ten-round
bout at the Forty fourth street club.
The former champion had the better
of the going all the way. He began
by fighting close and using both hands.
Toward the last he got in his famous
old left hook with telling effect.
1t was one of those, followed by two
quick rights to the jaw. that put Kirk
down for the count of eight Kirk
rose slowly and was helpless and the
referee stopped the bout to save Kirk
from further punishment. The men
weighed in at 12S pounds ringside. Both
failed to move the beam. Louisiana.
the h-touted protege OF Attell. had
Frank Connifrey on the run all
through their ten-round go.

sight 1t is certain that at least fifty
cars will be sent after the prizes. A
unique feature of the race is that 1(
per cent of the net purse will be SCI

Yankee regulars, led by Manager
Chance. were beaten yesterday by Jer-
sey City in a nine-inning battle by a
score of 4 to 0.

frames. Mains and Doescher pitched
for Shelters.
Midkif at short for the Yankees

were staged here because of the in
ability to put them on at Green Bay,

regard the local fights as being an
evasion of the Green Bay authorities,

Green Bay people. The fights slated

FISCHER PREPARES WRITTEN PROPOSAL
 FOR HEALTH BOARD

Within a few days Charles c. Fischer will submit in writing to the Board of Health a plan to again as sume the reduction of the garbage. The Board last Friday refused to have any more garbage delivered to MT. Fischer because of the offensive odors from his reduction plant near Lake view home. The garbage is now be- ing buried by Collector John T. King on the grounds of the Lakeview Home.
 MT. Fischer who appeared before the Board of Health last night said that he was convinced that the of fensive odors came from his system of outside drying. He has asked to have the contract renewed and prom ised that if his request is granted he will install a system of inside drying g from which there will be no odor and will then transport the garbage to his plant in York, Pa, for reduction. The board decided to investigate MT. Fischer's plan before taking any ac- tion in the matter.
 The Paris restaurant, F. Campbell and J. J. Neidmeyer, have been com p1ained of to the board for watering milk. The board decided to take no action in the cases beside publishing the names but future violators of the law against watering milk will be prosecuted.

VoIturno Survivors
 Reach New York

New York, Oct. 15.-Between 30 and 90 passengers on the steamship Vol- turno were trapped in compartment No 1 by the fire and explosion on the ship on Thursday last, and either per ished at once by the explosion or were burned alive. This news was brought to port today with the docking of the steamship Grosser Kurfuerst, bringing 1o5 survivors of the disaster. It came from the lips of Waldron eDtsselman, third officer of the Vo1turno ,one of the rescued.
 Disselman said that the explosion occurred in a drum containing chem icals or oil in the forward part of the vessel
 '"None of us had thought about the 80 or 90 passengers in No. 1 compart- nnent," he said. We hadn't had time to do so or we were so busy fighting the fire. They were cut off by the flames. We can only imagine what hap pened to them as none of us was able to get into that compartment again.

VERDICT IN GOV. SULZER'S CASE IS
 STILL UNCERTAIN
High Court of Impeachment in Executive Session to Decide on Admitting Testimony of Peck and Morgenthau.

Albany, Oct. 15-The high court of impeachment which is trying Cover nor sulzer recessed for lunch shortly before l o'clock, today, after having been in executive session throughout the morning, apparently as far as ever from a decision on whether article " of the impeachment shall be amended or the assembly shall be asked to pro- vide an additional article to include the testimony of Duncan W. Peck and Henry Morgenthau.
 The failure of the court to reach an agreement on this question was pro- ductive of many rumors. One was that a majority of the judges Of the court of appeals had reached a de- cision to vote this afternoon against sending the testimony in question to the assembly as the basis for the new article on the ground that to amend article " would be unconstitu- tional. Many of the Senators, how ever, strongly opposed this action. it was said.
 A rurnor that an injunction had { prevent him from paying the judges their $37. 50 per diem salaries caused Hurry in thes capitol, today. The executive sessions of the court of impeachasnt are successful from a standpoint of secrecy. Not only are all persons excluded from the court room but the corridors as well. It ia doubtful, however, if much could be told about the possible verdict even if the sessions were open. Some of the judges were said to be as puzzled over the technical problem with which the court now is wrestling as are the laynen.
 All sorts of arguments were heard over the question of whether the nec- essary 76 votes in the assembly could be obtained so near election time to adopt the new proposed article of impeachment.
 Opinions differed as to whether, in case of the passage of a new article of impeachment, it would be neces- sary to give the governor 20 days in which to answer. Aaron J. Levy, the majority leader of the assembly, said, today, that in his opinion, this sec tion of the law would not apply in the case of an article being added to the original articles.

CRISIS NEAR BETWEEN U. s.
 AND MEXICO

Washington, Oct. 15-The Mexican situation, today, was regarded by off clals here as drifting toward a crisis with the United States waiting Huer- ta'S next move
 The commanding feature was the action of the Spanish minister in Mex 1co City calling a meeting of the dip- Iomatic corps to discuss Huerta's as- sumption of a practical dictatorship. Administration officials and diplomat ists attached deep significance to that because the Spanish minister never has supported the policy of the United States
 President Wilson discussed the sit- uatfon with Secretary Bryan and sew era1 Senators and later the foreign re- lations committee of the Senate had a meeting behind closed doors.
 Plans for keeping an American nav al force in Mexican waters commanded almost equal attention, especially in view of the strained situation follow ing so closely Huerta's announcement that his governments permission for would not be renewed this month and the announcement of this government s intention to accomplish it's end with out conflicting with the laws of Mexi- co by changing the details of ships
 It was made plain that the Aneri- can government was determined to have a naval representation ready for any eventuality and some observers thought the next step toward a, cul- imitation of the situation might be forced over that point.
 Publication of President Wilson's lat est note to Huerta attracted wide at tention for it's brevity and forceful- ness. The Mexican governments re- ply was read with keen interest.

F1nnegan and Chauffeur BurIison, fearing to wait for the trolley wreck ing car to raise the truck from the pfnioned man. chopped down a tree in the rear of Keith's drug store and using the stout trunk for lever lifted the trucks far enough to permit Sur geon Finnegan, a man of powerful physique. to crawl beneath and extri- cate Thomas. la stMsN
 Thomas was badly bruised, one enr was torn off, and there was fear that he might have suffered internal in juries. He was rushed to the Bridge port hospital for observation.

 Dr. MeSerVe.
MISOUOTED ABOUT
 OTHER CLERGYMEN
Speaks in Highest Terms Dur ing His Visit to Hatters' City of Rev. Fathers Ken
 nedy and Shanley.

Danbury, Oct. 15.-In an interview which he gave here today. before re- turning to New York. Col. Martin Null hall. former field agent of the National Manufacturers Association, who made address in this city last night, com plete1y exonerated the Rev Harry Chamberlain Meserve, pastor of the First Congregational church of Dan bury, of any questionable relations with the National Manufacturers' As- 6octation in connection with a propo- sitiOn for g. trip to Europe, advanced to the clergyman by Mir. MuIhall dur ing the great strike in the hat man ufacturing industry in 1909. The mat ter was brought into prominence at the time of the publication, a few months ago, of Col. Mulha1Ps revela- lions of alleged motives employed by the National Association.
 Mir. Meserve told me he was going to Europe and I. speaking to him as a friend, he and his wife having been the guests of my wife and myself, told him it was a. very easy matter to get a pass and that he might just as we'll get one as not" said Col. MuIhall. T desire to make 1t plain that my only purpose in regard to getting pass for him was friendly and by no means an attempt to bribe MT. Meserve. am very sorry that the impression got about that had offered any such thing because it is very unfair to pr. Meserve, my relations with whom con- vinced me that he was an honorable gentleman in every way"
 During his remarks from the stage of the Taylor Opera House last night, Col. Mu1halI declared that he had been naisquoted in some cases and that many impressions that had arisen from his alleged statemetns in regard to
 
 ly wronk. He declared that they acted honorably in every way and that he had never accused them of acting oth- erwdse. He spoke of the Rev. Father Kennedy, now deceased. as one of the brightest clergymen and finest gentle men he had ever met and said that he never in his life found man so in fla vor of his home city and so in favor of organized labor.
 He said,s in speaking of the Rev. F'a- ther Shan1ey: 'T believe the state ment he made to me concerning the situation here was what any man would make who was honest and was talking about. '' sa Referring to himself during his ad- dress. Col. Mulhan said:
 .I have been placed in the Ananias Club by the National Association of Manufacturers and their friends more liar more than any other man on the face of the earth.
 He stated that Samuel Gompers and other officers Of the American Fedora tion of Labor could have had $40,O00 and that officers of the United Hatters could have had $1,o0o. but they could not be bought at any price.
 Much local interest was aroused by a statement by the speaker that he could given assurance that the famous suit Of D. E. Loewe & Company against the United Hattere would be dropped had the National Manufactur- ers' Association been able to carry It's point during the matters strike
