SPLENDID SCORES MADE IN WESTERN GOLFTOURNAMENT
French Makes 65, While Jones and PeebIes Make 69's-0ther Good
 Scores

Cleveland, O., August 24.-Three golfers today scored under 70, one and two 69, in, the first round of the open championship of the Western Golf association over the 6,2S9 yard links of the Oakwood club, not only setting new records for the course but establishing golf history for tournament play. Records do not disclose three scores, under seventy in one days play of any previous open championship, and there is no record of competitive 65 to establish pre- cedent for the performance of Emmet French of Youngstown, O., who wa captain of the American team of professional golfers who invaded Eu- rope when Jock Hutchison won the British open title.
 While French's 6o was an unprece- dented bit of wizarding with wood, iron and butts over treacherous links beset with pits, creeks and wooded hilloclls, the steadiest score of the day was made by an amateur, Bobby Jones of Atlanta, whose ex- celient 69 consisted entirely of threes and fours, except for five on the first hole. The southern young ster reeled off perfect figures or better pole after pole, going out in 35 and returning in s4
 PeebIes Scores
 The other e9 of the day was scored by Bob Peebles, veteran golfer now at the Kickapoo club of Peoria. His card contained one six. but eight holes were made in three and he had five birdies. while French, who made two holes in two strokes had seven nirdies, hut acquired three lives.
 The par of the course. Fl, was equaiied by three Of Americas fore most golfers. Bob Mcdonald of Chi cago, metropolitan open champion; Walter Hagen Of New York, former Brady of Detroit, runner-up in the national open to- o-Hagen at Boston.
 Hagen's card was remarkable for showing nothing but feurs for the first seven holes.
 Hstehfsen Up Trent
 Only one stroke behind this trio came Jock Hutchison of Chicago, de- lending his title, and George Sar- gent of Clumbus, a former national open champion. Hutchison could have broken 70 also, except for a spill on the 910 yard tenth, where he pulled his tee shot to an unplayable position behind an apple tree. He accumulated six strokes before his ball sank on the par three hole. In addition he missed short butts.
 Jim Barnes of New York. national open champion was slightly irregu- lar in his play, taking SS-37--75. Joe kiFkwood, the Australian cham pion had ss-35--7s. Sixty-four of the starters returned scores under 50. said to be another record for open cham ] pionships, indicating that the survi- vors for the final 36 holes at the end of tomorrows round must make 16G I or better to stay in the contest through Fridays double round.

WESTON wQMAN'S FATHER
SAW THE LAST SHOT FIRED

G. l.. Shumard Of Blanchester
Ohio, a veteran of the Ninth Ohio
Cavalry and the father of Mrs. A,
W. Sauer of Weston, was present
when the last shot Of the Civil war
was fired. The distinction of firing
this shot is accorded d. N. osyer, a
comrade of Mr.. Shumard, under seal
of the War department, The Blan-
chester Star-Republican' contains the
following account of the incident:
"0syor was a member Of the Ninth
Ohio Cavalry. On the morning Of
April II, 1865, he was in action
about II miles from Durham Station,
N. c., IN what was known as the Ce-
dar swamp. He was waist deep in
the water when q sharpshooter fired
at him, the bullet tearing the SER
geant's chevron from his arm. At
the moment 0syor returned the shot,
which struck the rebel in the knee,
cease firing" was sounded and
flag of truce was raised by the OPP
posing force.
&c. l.. Shumard of this place was
n member of the Ninth Ohio Cavalry
and was in action with his company
when the memorable shot was fired"

Clarence Hand, who is now visit.
ing at the home of. his mother in Old
Trafford, Manchester, England
writes that he hasn't seen a decent
day since he landed in the old coun-
try, and that he will be glad to get
back to Oregon. He continues:
Business is in bad way. Thou
sands of men are out of work and
more are being laid off every week.
Living is as high as in Oregon
higher, in. fact, considering the diff
ferent wage scale. The political sit
uation is regarded as the worst the
country has ever known.
Having become an American citi-
zen l had to register with the police
here and / had a little chewing
match with them, but l am now in
good standing again. They were GO
ing to arrest me and do all sorts of
things if i did not do just as l was
told. However, we finally. settled the
difference"

substantial advance in this group
OF issues within comparatively short
time. It is learned that negotiations
are under way calling for the con-
Solidation of n number Of the leading
copper corporations of the country. In
this connection Kennecott Copper,
Chile, Utah, Motherlode and Cerro de

which will appreciate as result of such

There arc a number Of issues which,
1t is felt. arc not yet selling in line
with actual intrinsic merits relative to
their financial and trade position. For
instance, Famous Players Laskey Cor
poration common stock. which pays s
per cent dividends, now selling at
around 64, is regarded as entirely out
of line with prices which should obtain
for the issue. Endicott Johnson is an
other issue which has been the subject
of favorable mention in financial quar-
ters. Wooworth common also Is spoken
of with favor, the report being that that
corporation contcmplatcs buying up and
retiring its preferred stock and declaring
30 per cent dividend on its common
stock. On the curb there has been a
great deal Of favorable talk relative TO
Maracaibo Oil. which last week ad
vanccd about three points. This cor
poration is now so closely affiliated with
the Standard Oil that many who pre-
viously had been Skeptical as to its

its outlook from the point of view Of

New Cuban Loan

Much interest has been shown in the
negotiations which are under way tor
q 500. 900, 900 loan to Cuba by group
of American bankers. The Cuban Con-
grcss on last Tuesday passed Il bill uu-
thorizing tho Cuban Government to
borrow $1,000, 900 from group or
bankers headed by J. T. Morgan & Co.
This is preliminary to the larger loan
that is to follow. It is pointed out
that through the negotiation Of the
smaller transaction Cuba will be able
to balance hcr budget and MAKE lnt
necessary preparations for the cstab-
lishmcnt of n 500. .000. 900 credit. Just
at tho moment the situation in that
country, both politically and CONNER
cially. probably is not such as to rem
der 1t advisable TO undertake the fota-
ton in this country Of n large loan.
The 81. .0OO. 200 loan will not be offered
for public participation.
