The course of the Oakmont club is
considered ideal for national title
play. It is built so that summer
droughts have little effect on the
fairways. A clay subsol has been
built underneath, holding moisture
close to the surface. Technique In shot
rather than strength of drives, is thus
necessary to make the best of ap,

tween g.: 80 o'clock and 1890 O'Clock
her automobile was found on the
bridge on the Illinois side Of the state
line The engine was running at the
time the car was found. In the road
ster was a basket of clothes and
some cakes which she had purchased
here.
Parents Of the girl felt that Their
was foul play in the matter. Investi-
cation revealed a number of clews,
but none of these shed any light on
the disappearance. 1t was establish
ed that the girl had gone to Montrose
on the lake shore drive, after coming
to Keckuk, bur that she was alone.

believing at first that their daugh-
ter might have been the victim of
foul play, they exhausted every clew
in the effort to get some trace of
the body, and as days wore on they
began to hope that perhaps she was
not dead and that she might be
found in some of the neighboring
cities. To that end they spent Thurs
day seeking clews in Keokuk and in
cities near here. But It was to no
avail.
Yesterday afternoon came a mes
sage saying that body had been
found nine miles south OF warsaw.
The parents together with a sister
of Mrs. Quick and her husband, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Harrison, left in an
automobile for the place where they
were to find partial solution of the
mystery. The body which the river
had SO reluctantly given up, was
that Of their daughter.
Sadly, almost silently, they con-
firmed the judgment of the men who
had found the body. There was
nothing to do but go back to the
lonely home. and they got into the
automobile which was to carry them
back. The body was brought up in
skiff, and the coroner's jury was
secured which was to try to solve
the mystery.

SeUen Arrests Promised
By Pittsburgh Police

Special Correspondence
PITTSBURGH, June City detec-
tives, working with government Secret
Service and Department Of Justice
agents, reported to-day that they were
making progress in establishing the
identity of the men who set off bombs
near the homes Of Federal Judge H. S.
Thomson and Chief immigration In
spector W. W. Sibray last Monday
night.
Detective Captain Clyde S. Edeburn
SAID several more promising clews had
developed during the day and that at
least seven more important arrests in
the bomb case would be made within
the next twentyfour hours.
Additional detectives were assigned
to assist the bomb squad" to-day.
Twelve men in the bureau are now
working on the case in conjunction
with the government agents. The
squad is securing the Monongahcla
Valley tonight for a party of I. W. w.
agitators. Early to-day the authorities
received information that the men
were in Besscmer, Lawrence County.
The squad made a hurried trip to that
town, only to find that the suspects
had left and were reported to be in
Clarion, this county. They trailed
the men to Clarion, where all traces
were lost.
Federal agents have satisfied them
selves that the revolutionary l. W. w.
literature that has been in circulation
in this city was printed in Chicago.
The paper has been identified, the po-
lice say, as having been sold to an an
archistic firm that is suspected of hav-
ing done printing work for the terror
lists. Arrests will be made of the men
who sent this literature through the
mails, it is said.
Thus far the search for Cornelius
Shea, the radical labor leader who
was reported to have come to this city
to interview members of the l. W. W.,
has been fruitless.
Eight of the sixteen suspects ar
rested last Tuesday are still in Jail
here awaiting examination by the i'm
migration authorities. The others ar
rested, although admitting they were
members Of the I. w. w. and unnatu-
rallied, have been released.
