Washington, July 19.-America,s greatest golf championship began on the links of the Columbia Country club here today when one half of the field of 26o experts went away in the testing IS holes qualifying round. The other players will qualify to- morrow.
 Professionals regard this as the most exacting qualifying round ever held in a championship as no player can afford to go badly on more than two holes and hope to be among the .72 players and all tied for 72nd place, who will qualify for the cham pionship proper.
 Jocke Hutchison, winner of the British open title; Abe. Mitchell, the long hitting English professional, and Joe Kirkwood, the Australian open champion, are the favorites, but with such a fast field, many considered the affair lottery, with any one of 20 players a possible winner.

The Asahi and other Japanese news papers agree with the statement car rieL by the Nippon Dempon News Agency Union which said:
 Japan is satisfied with the Ameri- can attitude. She is willing to settle an matters that may come up at the Conference"
 Although weight of public opinion may force Premier Hara to head the Gapanese delegation to the conference, fhe fact that he does not speak Eng iish would make his choice Nunfor- tunate,'' according to an opinion ex- pressed by a member of the cablnet in the interview.
 Washington, July 19-That Japan may clearly understand the attitude of the United States with regard to ence. the whole matter has been thoroughly discussed by Secretary of State Hughes in informal converse sions with Ambassador Shidehara, it was learned officially today. This is Sin addition to the exchange of com nunications with regard to the scope of the proposed conference, which has been carried on through the American Embassy at Toiio.
 Along woth other problems con- nected with the proposed disarma- a1lent conference President Harding and his cabinet today had for con sideratiorl, the question of bearing the burden of expense of the barley.
 Congressional authorization will be necessary to secure the funds to op- crate the conference. and it is ex- pected that the President will ask an appropriation for this purpose. but there is considerable doubt as to whether the administration in these Hines of economy, will see fit to act las host to the invited powers.
 Officials today forecasting that the conference expenses would be borne bv the individual powers. pointed out Hhat all of the Hague conferences have been paid for by the participating na- lions This also held true of the A R c conference and other 1nterna- tional parieys, including the Paris peace conference

City Attorney Sheridan T. Whitaker said that there would be no prosecu- ton of jitneurs in New Haven until the decision of Judge Keeler is hand ed down, which indicates that there will be no interference from the po- lice until Judge Keeler's decision is received, which is not expected be- fore Friday at the earliest.
 The Connecticut conn pany was fully represented at the hearing and re- ceived its first setback when Associate Counsel Joseph Berry of Hartford. presented to the court soon after. tion against the New Haven & Derby Bus Corporation, which he asked Judge keeEer to hear in connection with the jitneymens application. Ob- jection was made by Attorney Rob- ert Woodruff for the jitneymen, and Judge K1ee1er refused to hear the ap- pHcation in connection with the one before him.
 Attorney Woodruff attacked the legislature bill giving legislature and judicial powers to the Public Utilities commission and criticized their recent decisions, which he claimed were without penalties. Judge KeeIer in- formed the lawyer, however, that bill. /
 In his closing remarks, Judge Kee1er said that it would be better if both sides could hurry their cases lHTOuSu T1e SuSSeSleu tHdL II dIi arrest were made, and an appeal taken from the City court verdict, if such was not satisfactory, it might expedite matters to a considerable extent In this way, the question would soon find it's way through the Common Pleas court to the Supreme Court of Errors, which convenes in September when the matter would be decided once and for all.
 Attorney Woodruff offered a long argument in behalf of the application which seeks to prevent arrests and prosecutions of jitney interests, par ticular1y the Derby-New Haven line, pending the determination by the court of the constitutiona1ity and le- gality of the statute.
 A wave of laughter swept the room when Attorney George D. Watrous for the Connecticut Company suggested that the jitney men turn their buses into other uses, suggesting the truck ing and taxi business.
 The courtroom was thronged with lawyers, jitney owners and drivers from New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury and from several of the

May Bring
 Suit To Get License Refund

Because of uneasiness and impa- tience expressed by a number of Bridgeport ex-1iquor dealers due to the failure to receive refunds on I- censes paid in at the time the pro- hibitfon law went into effect on July 1, 1919, the matter of effect of pos sible suits against the country have brought the opinion from some sources that such actions brought against the Fairfield County com missioners might be successful to the extent of court order, telling the commissioners to pay the fund
 And in the meantime the City of Bridgeport and the Fairfield county commissioners have done all within There is no precedent to follow in this case, and it is apparent that ac- ton, or rather lack of action upon the part of the State legislature has problem.
 The City some time ago turned over to the county commissioners the City's share. This money in care of drawing interest, and principal and interest will no doubt ultimately be paid to those liquor dealers who absolutely quit, and went out of business, turning in their certificates simultaneously with the prohibition law going into effect. The county commissioners are prepared on reas- enable notice to pay the county s share, but no provision has been made as far as can be discovered for the States share to be paid.
 The total locally involved. is well into six figures, and a feeling is growing that at least those who did actually close up on midnight on June 30, 1919, should be paid without any further delay, that the money might be put in circulation at the present # Hi are beginning to be heard in several parts of the county.

America s Greatest Golf Championship Match
 Starts With Big Field

The low scores in practice made it seem certain that nothing worse than a 7S would qualify. Wagers were made at even money that this figure would be required and that 6S would be bettered before the championship ends.
 Walter Hagan. Kirkwood and Nit chel1 were the most prominent play CTS to participate in today's qualify ing rounds.
 Weather conditions were good when the first pair got away. Joe Kirkwood, the Australian open cham pion, was the first real star to start, and a. gallery of 300 trailed behind Jock Hutcfison and Abe Mitchell were paired and were followed by 500.

TURKISH WOMEN
FORM UNIT To
BATTLE GREEKS

Angora, Turkey. July 11.--A
Turkish Joan of Arc, Aishe Hanum,
has started woman's fighting
brigade against the Greeks. Her
organization, called the Kain bri-
gade, has already taken part in ac-
tice fighting and she is constantly
enrolling new recruits.
This is the first time in Turkish
history that q woman has been so
militantly active. She has been
dubbed by the people of Anatolia,
1.-THE ConquerOr." Her personality
is in distinct contrast to the beau
tiful Halide Edib Hanum. the writ
er and graduate of the American
Constantinople College, who has
been so active in nationalist poll
tics for two years and fled to the
interior in March, 1920. to escape
Imprisonment by the allies.
Aishe Hanum is a stern. dark
woman of the soil, aged 50, who
sees visions and believes she is in
spired by the prophet. She wears
q veil. but has cast aside skirts,
She carries rifle and when not
at the front goes through the viii
lagos accompanied by her 15-year-
old son. urging the peasants to
contribute food and money and
their able-bodied women to cast
out the enemy stranger from the
homeland.
As nationalist soldiers. the uni
form OF the Kadin brigade corre-
spends to that of its leader.
Indirectly, Aishe Hanum is do
Ing as much as Halide Hanum to
emancipate the Turkish woman.
When she began her work. the
Turkish men. who dislike to have
women interfere in politics. tried
to force her to return to her farm.
But. by the courage born Of her
visions, Aishe Hanum has continued
until she is recognized as an aid to
the nationalist cause.

(By The Associated Press.

Phoenix, Ariz, July 11.-Frank
P. Moore, of Douglas, a member
Of the state livestock sanitary
board, who passed through here
today on his way home from a
meeting of the board in Flagstaff,
said that the board had decided to
cut the salaries of its inspectors 20
per cent. This is the second time
salaries have been reduced in the
last few months. In December SAL
aries were reduced and the force
was cut down by the dismissal Of
20 men.
Mr.. Moore said that the reduc-
ton was made necessary because
the fees received by the board had
been reduced to very small fig
ure because of the few shipments
of cattle being made. He said that
there are now IS inspectors en-
ployed by the board at salaries
ranging from 800 to $3.50 a month,
except in few cases in the more
isolated districts where the salaries
were smaller.
