Sandwich. England, May 1s.-Je-
rome ID. Travers, amateur golf champ
ion of the United States. was eliminat-
ed today in the first round of the con-
test for the British amateur champion
ship by Charles Palmer, Irish open
champion. Chance that an American
would take the title across the At
lantic was thereby reduced a mini
mum. Travers was defeated by two
up. Neither played very good golf
Palmer was suffering from lumbago.
Practically every spectator on the
course followed Travers and Palmer
around. There was a great contingent
of Americans in the crowd. The elimi-
nation of Travers was the sensation
of the day.
II was quickly followed by the de-
feat of two other Americans. Topping
and Knapp. The first American TO
score a win was Fraser Hale of Chi
cago. who defeated w. Whigham OF
the Royal St Georges club. golfer

links as in England. Charles w

game, beating Cranston. Francis Oui-

burned that they died within the first
two days.
II was decided to tighten the boat
by casting the bodies overheard at
once. Some who had tumbled from
their hunks at the first explosion and
had rushed on deck half clothed sue
cumbed to the cold. Others, weaken
ed by hunger and thirst, gradually sank
into lethargy that was scarcely to be
distinguished from death.
Somehow the survivors managed to
keep the boat head on to sea when
the weather became rough. but for the
last few days little or no effort could
be made to guide the craft. Day by
day the number dwindled. until the
five who were left sank Imply to the
bottom of the boat and awaited the
end.
When the lookout of the Seneca,
scanning the horizon for bergs on the
ice patrol, sighted the small boat
through his glasses not sign OF life
VS. seen.
The Seneca put on all speed, and,
racing to the lifeboat, sent its gig
alongside. The emaciated survivors
were quickly transferred TO the deck
OF the cutter and brandy forced be-
tween their parched lips.
AS all the men were in apparent
need of hospital attention. the Seneca
was pushed under forced draft to Hall

Hope for this missing third boat had
been abandoned after a dozen of the
transatlantic liners searched for five
days within a wide radius of the spot
where the Columbia burst into flames.
To seafaring men il seemed I'M
possible that a small boat could pass
through the series of gales that have
since swept those waters, and the news
that the Seneca had picked up the
survivors was received almost with
here.

New York, May -1S.-Charles Pitt,
former press agent and adviser for
Charles Becker took the stand today
at the second trial of the former lieua
tenant of police and as the states wit
ness corroborated many of the details
of the stories of Jack Rose and others
that Becker was the instigator of the
murder of Gambler Rosenthal. After
Rosenthal, the witness swore, he met
Becker, who was indignant at the way
the killing was accomplished.
"What's the matter with Jack Rose
and the bunch?" Pitt quoted Becker
as having said. "To pull the stunt the
way they did was very bad. You
would suppose it was being done for
the moving pictures"

Pitt said he saw Becker at police
headquarters. Becker told me-" said

"'Never mind" said Becker, do

Pitt kept his eye on the floor in
front of the witness chair. He said
he called on Deputy Police Commis-
sioner Dougherty and did the best he
could to establish an alibi for Becker.
He saw Becker many times in the
tombs. After Becker's conviction, he
journeyed with the party to the pris-
on. Igave Becker a drink on the
train," the witness said, ''and told him
1t probably would be the last for some

Mexican Delegates Au-
thorized to Submit Die
tator's Resignation.
BROAD POWERS GIVEN
No Intimations Concerning the
Name of Possible Successor
Received at Capital.

Washington, D. c., May 1S.-Huerta
has authorized the Mexican mediation
delegates to submit his resignation in
case such a course Is found necessary
to the settlement of peace negotia'
tions. This was stated positively in
dispatches today from a thoroughly
competent diplomatic source in Mexico
City to one of the foreign representa-
tives here and confirms intimations
given by friends OF the delegates yes
terday
According to this information from
Mexico City, Huerta at first authorized
his delegates to discuss only the ques-
ton of the Tampico conflict leading to
American occupation, of Vera Cruz
later. The Mexican dictator, it is ex-
planned, came to recognize the neces-
sity of broader settlement and then
conveyed TO the delegates assurance
that he was prepared to step down
should this course be found necessary
by them
Must Consult Rebels.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City.now is that
of the form of administration to be es-
tablished during the interum before a
elected president could
assume office. No intimation concern
ing the name of a possible successor
to Huerta were contained in the dis
patch, this subject being one in which
1t is necessary to consult the opinion
OF the constitutionalists and other
leaders in Mexico.
Lamar and lehman, who VIII rep
resent the United States at the peace
conference at Niagara Falls, Ont, have
arranged to leave Washington at to-
morrow morning. This will put the
American delegates on the scene about
the time the Mexican delegates ar
rive there from New York.
Administration Weakening.
According to close friends the Mexi-

that Huerta will give the pace to some
other authority. The Mexican dele
