GOLF BLOOMERS OF FAIR SEX
INITIATE MASCULINE KNOCKERS
IN FAR WEST LINKS FASHION
By SANDY McNIBLICK

A DISPATCH from the sunset side Of this
n country breaks the news to the world
that feminine golfers there have blossomed
out in boomers when playing the links
and that the new fashion. started at the
Ardsley (okla) Country Club, has been re-
celved with much favor.
The new costume consists of a uniform
similar to vat worn in this city by girl
basketball pl Yers.
Instead Of 'ubber-soled shoes. however,
the athletic &c er of the West has adopted
heavy spiked oots reaching kneewards
The costume is said to be the height of
comfort and commonsense.
IL bids fair to eliminate entirely the
binding and uncomfortable skirt
The new fashion has not reached this
part of the country as yet. The short
skirt style. similar to the attire of the cow
girl Of the movies, Is to be found infre-
uuently in the West. but the feminine
brand of the masculine knickers Is some
thing new. Tho heavy boots are urged for
protection In the tangles Of the rough and
to prevent sand getting in the shoes when
playing from hazards.
The now costume is described as chic,
whatever that is

There was nothing in the dispatch about
the new costume being displayed so openly
as at tournaments and 50 forth.

town for the going in the Metropolitan open
championship at Garden City. l.. l., on

absence Of n number of the Western pros
who competed in the national open, the field
this week will be every bit as fast, since
there are large number of pros in these

pa,lv Stock Letter.

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said there was little Of interest
and nothing of importance in today's
early stock exchange trading, and
prices moved irregularly within gen.
orally narrow range, the only excep-
tions being with few industrials
specialties Secretary Lansings an
nouncement that he had received
word from Ambassador Gerard to the
effect that the German foreign office
will make a reply to the American
ultimatum Of April 16 today brought
the trading elsewhere to an almost
complete standstill.
Naturally the general public, which
has had little or nothing to do with
the market since the crisis assumed
an acute phase, continued q waiting
attitude and the dealings were wholly
professional.
But even the traders showed . dis
position to hold OF until they could
obtain some definite line upon the
character Of the German answer. Ac-
tiyjty in consequence was much cur
tailed and conferred upon q mere
handful of stocks.
Prices merely backed and filled
throughout the greater part OF the
session, making little progress in
either direction and showing no
clearly defined tendency until the
early afternoon when the list as a
whole sagged off.
Reactionary tendencies were more
pronounced in the late dealings.

Gives II Out to the
Public.

NEW YORK, May 4.-"I'm not

with all sincerity that am not in
the least interested in my own per-
sonal fortunes"
This is the concluding sentence in
Ia letter which Colonel Roosevelt has
written an Ohio German-American
who wrote suggesting that he tone
down" some of his statements about
Belgium so that he could command
the votes of Germans and Irishme len.
The colonel's inquirer was F. H.
Schwan Of $40 East 103rd street, N.
E., Cleveland. Roosevelt's reply given
to the United Press today was as
follows:
II thank you for your kind letter.
You say you want Irishmen and Ger
mans to vote for me. II ran I should
want all Americans to vote for me
and don't care whether they were
born in Ireland or in Germany, or in
England or in France, or whether
their ancestors came over in the May
flower. But emphatically would not
want any human being to vote for
me as an Irishman, or as German,
or as French or an Englishman. any
more than / would want him to vote
for me as Jew or Catholic or q
protestant. am straight United
i States and nothing else and that is
all any man ought to be In this coun-
try.
ri welcome the support Of every
good American. no matter where he
was born. If he is q good American;
but l do not want his support II he
is voting as foreigner in this land

wrote about Belgium and say some
thing more or less favorable to the
German side' My dear sir, won't
modify, or qualify, in the smallest de-
gree anything have said during
these eighteen months upon our
duties and upon the attitude that this
country ought to take Turn to what
| have written in the book called
fear God and take your own part,
and you will find the position that
took and on which stand.
II am not seeking the nomination
and I tell you with all sincerity that
l am not in the least interested in
nv personal fortunes. But I am vital
ly interested in the welfare of the
United States and in American honor
and national interest and l am abso
lutely certain that this 1s the posi-
ton that a self-respecting American
ought to take"
The colonel came to New York
from Oyster Bay for additional throat
treatment and spent the afternoon In
the Metropolitan Magazine offices
Among his callers were James f. J
Archibald, the war correspondent; Vic
tor Huerta, son OF the late Mexican
dictator, victoriano Huerta; E. A
| Van valkenburg of Philadelphia, anc
others. The colonel had no comment
to make on the primary vote IN Cali
fornia. His callers explained tina

without the use Of the coionefs name

by Roosevelt) 1t was necessary FOL
voters to mark the ballot in twenty
six places opposite the names Of

gates to register any sort of vote
which could be called favorable te
