Coming Courses Spoken Of.
Discussion as TO where the champion
ship will be held next year was a fruit
1ui topic in the closing days of the
championship The Merton Cricket Club
at Philadelphia was mentioned and so
were the National golf links and
Myopia. with the prevailing hope that
one of the two last mentioned would
put in a bid for the titular event. The
reasons advanced are excellent. In the
last four or five years the champion
ships have been held at clubs which
had structural weaknesses. At Whea ton
In 1912 the ball would roll $50 yards
after drive had landed. and shots
well over 900 yards were common: at

is also on the short side. 1t certainly
would be highly pleasing to the coun-
trys golfers if arrangements could be
made so that a championship could be
played on a really champion links.
Mention might be made of the placing
of the holes on the last day at Detroit.
! The sixth hole was very badly placed.
1t being almost impossible to put a
second shot so that il would stay near
the cup. while the twelfth was afro
cious. 1t was agreed on that hole that
a long drive to the right over the ra-
vine should open up the hole and make
the second hole easier. But on Satur-
day it was the long ball to the LETT

PROBE STATUS Of
CHARITIES BOARD
PRISON REFORM ASSOCIATION
CRITICISES PENITENTIARY
AND PARISH JAIL.
MANY JAlLS ARE UNClEAN
Judges Will Call Attention Of Grand
Juries to Necessity of
Investigation.
MANY JAILS ARE UNCLEAN
New Orleans

The Prison Reform Association
adopted resolution at its meeting
asking the State Probe Commission to
Investigate the status OF the State
Hoard of Charities and Corrections.
IL was said that the board stands as IL
was originally constituted several
years ago, and is merely a board in
maine. 1t has for some time done moth
ing. In fact it has no money to work
with and no provision has been made
for paid secretary, as originally was
intended. Several members of the
Prison Reform Association said that
there are numerous important duties
that should be performed by the
Board of Charities and Corrections.
The complaint it was stated, is not
against the members but against the
status of the board. The members
originally spent their own money in
trying to do some service to the
state, but as no appropriations were
made, they apparently have become
weary OF spending their time and
money.
1t was decided that the attention of
the probe commission be called also to
the penitentiary management, as 1t
was asserted that that institution is a
tremendous expense to the state. The
probe commission already has a sub
committee investigating that subject.
1t was decided to have the secretary
notify the police juries and the dis
trict judges Of the condition of the
parish jails. which, in many instances,
Is bad. The judges will be asked to
call the attention of grand juries to
the necessity of investigating the
jails. In many states. especially in
Alabama, according to a report by the
secretary, the states have taken con-
troll Of the parish (county) jails.

WASHINGTON Is

THE BELIEF AT WHITE HOUSE
AND IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES.
GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS

Washington.-After the cabinet
meeting, it was said, 1t was consider.
ed that the situation regarding Ameri-
ca and Germany is not at all threat
ening and the administration has no
fear that any American ship will be
sunk. The intimation in the German
note to the United States that the
American ships be identified by con-
voys was taken up. 1t was agreed,
however, that the American govern
ment has no authority to order ships
to adopt such measures as were taken
by Holland and the Scandinavian
countries, which include the painting
OF the nationality of the ship in large
letters on each side. 1t was under
stood, however, that inquiries will be
sent to maritime insurance companies
to learn If any arrangement has been
made for identifying neutral ships.
A dispatch from Berlin quotes the
Vossische Zeitung on the latest Ger
man communication to the United
States as follows:
The new German measures at sea
are directed against two OF the allies
OF Great Britain. One is the Ameri-
can traffic in arms and the other is
starvation. We need no American
arms; we shall make the struggle
with starvation In the firm conscious
ness that he will pull through, even
II not one single grain of wheat
reaches us. Great Britain. as a re-
suit Of our blockade, must experience
severe damage"
