al level of the enclosure. He did not
order the crowd to dispense, but pro-
ceeded to take action to disperse it
at once by fire. There were 1850
rounds fired, fire being directed on
crowds not on individuals, and re-
directed from time to time where the
crowds were thickest. The ammuni-
tion used was the ordinary 1903 ar
my cartridge. On the conclusion of
the firing the troops retired; the
nrmber of casualties were not count
ed.
A subsequent inquiry indicated
that about 29O persons were killed.
II was asserted that these included
many small children, but inquiries
have only been able to establish the
death of one boy under 10 and four
under 10 years.
Martial law was proclaimed at Am
ritsar on April Is and its admins
tration SENS to have provoked a SER
les of complaints, against which the
Punjab government has found it
necessary to defend itself.
The first charge is that relating to
the Kucha Tawarian, a street in
which Miss Sherwood, an English
woman-doctor, vas nearly beaten to
death by Infatuated natives. The gem
eral officer commanding the British
troops in Amritsar closed the street
to public traffic, placing a picket to
each end, and ordered that if any
one passing it would have to do so
on his hands and knees.
1t was clearly understood by ev-
eryone that it did not apply to wom'
en-. Order was actually in force be-
tween April 10 and "a, and in all
about fifty persons complied with
the directions to go through on all
tours. The sergeant in charge of the
picket subsequently stated that one
man crawled through three times,
and had to be stopped from giving
further exhibitions.
A number of triangles (for flog-
, ging) were erected in the city and
26 men sentenced by the summary
courts to be logged. The only flog-
gings that could be considered to be
in any way Of a public nature were
of six men who YER flogged in the
street in which Miss Sherwood was
assaulted. These men were implicat-
ned in the attack on Miss Sherwood
Others were whipped at area head
quarters, at the police or in private
The major charges arising out OF
the disorder were. tried by the Mar
tial Law Commissions, sixty-two cas-
es in all being put before them, in
volving 29S accused. OF these 21S
were convicted. Fiftyone were SEN
fenced to death, 46 to transportation
for life, two to imprisonment for ten
years, 70 for seven years. ten for
five years, IS for three years and IL
for lesser periods. In six cases whip
ping was inflicted.

ANTI-bRIT|SH
FEELING RACES
IN THE PUNJlb

LONDON, Feb. ~, (By Mail).-
An official report regarding the sedi-
tious riots last April In Amritsar, La.
hore and other districts in the Pun
lab, British India, has just been is
sued here by the India Office. The
disturbances at Amritsar were put
down by Brigadier-General r. t..
Dyer, the British officer in command
with an iron hand. 29O persons be-,
ing killed by rifle fire.
1t Is stated in the report that the
shooting followed murderous at.
tacks on Europeans and that General
Dyer had not ordered the crowd,
which had gathered in a public meet
ing place in Amritsar, to dispense
but that 1850 rounds after natives
had nearly beaten to death an Eng
lish woman doctor, the general Of
ficer commanding the British troops
In Amritsar ordered that the street
be closed where this attack occurred
and that perosns who passed thru
II had to do so on their hands and
knees.
News of these occurrences did not
teach this country until the end of
the year, and then created a big sen.
sation and not a little controversy,
which has not yet died down. The re-
port now given out comes from the
Punjab government.
/ After describing the growth of an.
ti-British feeling at Amritsar, cul-
minating in murderous attacks on
Europeans, the report teels how Cen
eral Dyer was at length given auth
GRITTY to take whatever steps were
necessary to re-establish civil con-
troll. This was on April IS. General
Dyer accordingly considered it his
duty to dispense prohibited and un-
lawful meetings, which as had peer
held by the natives for some time in
the Jappewalian Bagh, an open
space, regularly used for public
meetings, with houses on all four
sides and three or four passages
leading into it, The report continues
in substance: -
General Dyer was not able i'm
mediately to provide for the purpose
a larger force than fifty Indian
troops together with forty Gurkhas
armed only with kukris or knives.
Accompanied by the European up
~erintendent of police, he took these
to the Jappewalian Bagh. He had
with him two armored ears in re-
serve, but the lane through which
he entered was too narrow to admit
them and they were left in the street
outside. He took no machine guns
with him.
When he arrived, at about five
o'clock, he found that the crowd had
swollen to several thousands, and II
was being addressed by a speaker

kployed on either side of the entrance,

East, has many bright golf days ahead
Of him, in the opinion Of Headmaster
Meigs, Hill School, the colors of which
Davis bore in winning his new title
on Wednesday at Nassau.
can Davis needs Is some one to steady
him, figured Headmaster Meigs, who
plays his golf from Merton, "and he
ought to make name for himself. Like
all schoolboys, Davis is inclined to be
erratic, blow up in other words, but he
has the shots and with n few more
years of experience he should be heard
from in the big events"
Davis has only been playing golf for
four years and has not ventured into
many tournaments so far. He is eight
cen years old. tall and slender, and halls
from Washington, d. c., where he
plays at the Chevy Chase Country Club.
He is nephew Of Senator Elkips.
Davis won the low medal at Scars
dale the last time the tourney for inter
scholastic honors was played, and led
his team to victory as he did on Monday
at Nassau. Golfer Meigs caddied for
Davis in the finals of the individual play
there.

has played most Of his golf here at Hill
School. l play with him great deal
at school, though l lay no claims to
having been his Instructor on the links.
Il believe, however, that IL hs con
tinues to progress as he has in the short
time he's been playing the game he will
figure in many senior events later on"
Davis will be graduated from Hill this
year and will enter Princeton, where
he will be decided addition to the
Orange and Black golf team. The ex :
ira experience he will get with the
cream of the college players will make
him power with the golf clubs. They
compare Davis to Ouimet, when the
latter was first breaking into the select
circles as youngster under twenty. The
build and many characteristics of Oui-
met are found in Davis, and with a
body "kick" behind the ball, Davis gets
extraordinary distance for youngster.
The other finalist in the interscholas-
tics was Willie G. Jones, a fifteen year
old rosy checked chunk Of golf machin-
cry, who made every one think of the
famous "Bobbie" Jones.
The latest Jones also halls from At =

Fans at the finals wondered how many
more temperamental golfers there are in

has not yet learned that stony nerves are
even as much to be desired as a long

Jones lost his temper completely in
n battle with a bunker at the seven :
teenth and staged a regular "Vesuvius'
volcano out, a la Rube Goldberg, though
tin cans. dead cats and other things
did not fly out-only sand, plenty Of it,
and no ball. He took five shots in there
and then picked up. His excitement
worked on him, and he failed to down

Before the war he used to weigh
around 40 or 145 pounds and while

Harry Stone, Phil Bloom, Johnny
