went to the meadow north of the
reservoir in Central Park. Historian
DAVIS does not give the exact date
of this important happening.
LocKHART teed a ball on the edge of
the meadow and drove nightly,
whereupon policeman arrested him.
Mr.. DAVIS, omits the policeman's
name, but when he says that Lock-
HART was taken to the Arsenal
police station he leaves clew for the
antiquarians of the future. 1t seems,
however. that the prisoner was not
held. Freed, he went to Yonkers and,
with other conspirators, formed the
first golf club in the United States.
st. Andrews. The date of organiza-
tion was November IA, 1888. JOHN
REID was president and JOHN UPHAM
secretary and treasurer.
Mr.. DAVIS confers upon Mr.. REID
the honor of being the founder of
golf in America He played in the
first game of which there is a record.
1t took place in the late fall of 1888
on the st. Andrews original course
at Broadway and Shonnard place,
Yonkers. The four players were

KINNAN, JOHN UPHAM and JOHN
REID. A photograph of that historic
scene shows two derby hats and two
cutaway coats and nary pair of
knickers. The caddies were the Hol-
brook boys, FREDERICK and WARREN,
they carried. FREDERICK HoLBRooK,
now a full fledged member of st. An
drew's, tells Mr.. DAVIS that there
was in the earliest days of the club
what later would have been called
the nineteenth hole; but ST. An
drew's originally had but six playing
holes. The clubhouse consisted of a
table, tubs of ice, pals of water, &c.
Later a tent was put up. In 1894,
the records show, the club was
wealthy enough to buy patent cork
screw at cost of s125; another i'm
portant item for historians.
Golfers of to-day who shoulder
great financial burdens will be in
terested to know that in 1898 st. An
drew's felt ompelled-owing, no
doubt, to the high cost of living-to
advance the annual dues from So to
SIS, but the initiation fee remained
at S5 for another year. In 1894 Pres
ident REID offered a medal for
the amateur championship of the
United States. Six of the members
of that period are still playing on
st. Andrews links, envied by their
327 colleagues as men who made
American golf history.

John Karst, Engraver.
BY His Work He Raised the Stand
ard OF Textbook Illustrations.

Tc THE New YORK HERALD: With
the death of John Karst at his country
home in De Bruce, Sullivan county,
N. Y. there passed away an artist who
did much for wood engraving.
Mr.. Karst was born in Bingen on the
Rhine eighty-six years ago, coming to
this country when an infant. He learned
the trade Of wood engraving. which he
quickly made profession. He was not
long in convincing the heads of such
publications as Harpcr's and Frdfik Les
lies that wood engraving was an art.
When the old time plan of photo
graphing a picture on the block was
adopted Karst was one of the few wood
cngravers who survived the change. He
induced a great publishing house to sub
stitute artistic engravings for the abom-
nations that filled their books An edi-
ton of a geography with the most beau
tiful pictures ever printed in such a
textbook resulted in revolutionizing
wood engraving.
For the next thirty years there was
scarcely an illustrated educational text
book of value the engravings of which
we're not made in Karst's studio.
Fifteen years ago be retired to his
country home in De Bruce He was an
authority on porcelains. prints and first
editions of books. His knowledge was
broad, and every publisher of his time
valued his friendship, and not few
sought his advice. II.

Mrs. Theodore Peters.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The
death of Marian Phelps, wife Of Theo-
dore Peters, leaves a wide circle of
mourners. Her father was the late
William Walter Phelps of Teaneck,
N. j.. United States Minister to Ger
many. on her mothers side she was
the granddaughter of Joseph Earle Shelf
field Of New Haven, founder of the
Sheffield Scientific School of Yale.
Born September 10. 1868, she grew
up at "a time when her fathers useful
private and public duties brought her
in touch not only with most conspicu-
GUS persons in her own country. but also
with many prominent figures in Euro
pean affairs.
Her broad education gave her broad
charity which did not content itself with
contributions to organized public aid.
The delicate personal touch which she
put into each Of her widespread benefac-
tions, and the modesty with which she
concealed them, have made a monument
for her in the hearts OF host OF her
friends OF high and low degree.

Horse and Buggy.

A young Jersey City man is fined
S25 because he drove his automobile
with one hand while he olasped his
girls waist with the other. The coun-
Gilman who arrested him explained
in court that although the young
man was not speeding-at least not
in his driving-the girl was receiv-
ing more attention than the car,
which in his opinion and in that of
the court constituted recklessness.
The young Jerseyman should have
remembered that when the horse and
buggy ride joined the horsehair sofa
and the lowered gas jet among the
discarded accessories of courtship
the interior of a careening taxicab
became the accepted substitute, to be
used with immunity from the penal
ties of the law.
The buggy ride was friendly and
potent agent in affairs Of the heart.
1t is hard to say just what appeal
IL WOuIu lildhe " the NEW IOIh VI
New Jersey fiapper. There is safety
in the guess that it has been tried
out on very few of the modern young
sters, but it would be interesting to
know how many American house
holds had their inception in long
buggy ride behind a philosophic old
mare who knew her way home in
the dark.
Those long buggy rides gave op-
portunity for some measure of ac-
quaintance between the young men
and women who took them. 1t
didn't matter so much where the
buggy was bound provided the roads
over which the old mare carried it
offered a fair amount of seclusion.
But nowadays the taxicab or the car
is headed somewhere and is going
there in hurry. There has to be
party somewhere, and when the first
party falls little fat, another. Who
knows but the old buggy had share
in keeping the divorce rate down?

Bathing in the Fountain.
A Simple Plan for Ending Nui.
sance and Preventing Trouble.

To THE New York HERALD: The ludi-
crous and pitiful incidents which arise
from the efforts of small boys to use the
fountain at Broadway and Chambers
street as q bathing pool. and the hu-
namely intelligent and half hearted
efforts of the police and other city en-
ployees to stop them illuminate another
bit of municipal stupidity.
The boys are nuisance, of course !;
they obstruct the waterways of the
fountain with rags, paper and the like [;
they cause crowds to collect their an
tics, innocent though they are, must be
kept under control. Some day, in exer-
cising this control. city employee either
inadvertently or in a moment of irrita-
tion will inevitably hurt one of the
youngsters, cause one to run In front
of a motor truck, or something OF the
sort; then there will be a row, with the
familiar accusations of brutality against
a policeman or park laborer: and all be-
cause Of municipal stupidity.
The boys seek the fountain because
ITS basin is so deep the water rises to a
height which makes swimming possible.
This is utterly unnecessary. The depth
of the water in the basin does not anect
the refreshing appearance of the foun-
tain, which is its sole excuse for being.
If the pool We're one inch deep it would
serve the decorative purpose as we'll as
does the pool two or three feet deep;
and boys would not have any desire to
battle in It.
Why not rearrange IL before some
body is hurt? Municipal stupidity?

Words Made as Needed.
Thus Poet Repr0duces the Cry OF
Hawks FLYING mt Night.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: You are
right. Many words coined by authors
are not found in the dictionary. but they
serve very we'll to bring out some spe-
cial characteristic not obtainable by
means of an old time word. Every orig
inal writer now and then is responsible
for a few such words.
For instance. in one of my sonnets,
"To the NighthawA," l used two new
self originated words to convey sounds
the hawks emit while flying at dusk In
the mountains, thus:

AngIo-American Friendship.
"Along Came Love-"

Along came Love, one lonely day,
When brooding skies bent low and gray
The sun came out at his behest,
Upon his lips he wore Jest,
And in his eyes a promise lay.
I broke me loose from sorrows sway
And ran to meet his cheer half way,
AS grief and dullness to arrest,
Along came Love.

Airing his arts in proud array,
He taught my wistful heart to play,
Then of he ran, In terror lest
l deem that more than passing guest
Humming a little song and gay,
Along came Love.

Americas DISCOVERIES.
yotan Came Long Before Left Eric.
son and Columbus.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Centu-
ries before the dawn of Christianity the
first of the great American legislators
settled down in the valley watered by
the Tabasco and Usumacinta rivers
there Palenque. the oldest city In Cen
trail America, was founded. This was
Votan, the great and good man who
introduced TO the barbarians whom he
found there the worship of the Supreme
Being as the God of all truth"
He came from a foreign land whence
he and his companions sailed in large
ships They found the entire country,
from Darien to California, inhabited by
n race who wore the skins of wild
beasts for clothing, while they them
selves wore Yong, flowing garments. The
natives fed on raw flesh, roots and
fruit. and dwelt in huts built of branches
or in caverns dug out of the rock. The
language they spoke was the Maya, the
language of Yueatan.
The intrepid navigators. notwithstand-
ing that they spoke only the Nahuatl
tongue, married the daughters of the
natives and settled in the new land.
This was in the year 955 y. c., and the
pioneer leader made all in all four yoy-
ages from his homeland to the land Of
his adoption To him we owe an ac-
count Of the origin of the Indian i'm
migration to America. On his return
after his first voyage home he found
his people in a state OF revolt, and so
divided them into four groups, one of
which founded Tulha as It's capital, and
It's ruins, it Is said. may still be seen
near ocosingo. in Chiapa.
These Nahuatl people, who later were
known as Nahoas or Toltecs, came from
Hue-hue-perhaps Anam or China
which they left on account of revo-
tuition. Their journey to America, over
land and sea, was n long and painful
one, full Of danger and prvation; but
the tide Of emigration was at its food,
and from the Far East came ship after
ship, which debarked its human freight
at Tampico, near the mouth of the
Panuco River. as the Christian era
dawned upon the world.
In A. d. ia another dispersion took
place and the Nahoas spread over Mex
leo. where they founded many important
cities. So Left Ericsson was not the dis
toverer OF America, even if In A. ID.
1000 he landed on a coast variously
identified as Labrador, Newfoundland
and New England, called by him Vim
land. from the vines no found growing
upon Il.
Apart from this the credit OF being
the frat European TO discover America
belongs TO Eric the Red. father of Left
Ericsson. who, with a party of daring
sea rovers. settled in Iceland. from
whose bleak shores he sailed in 9s3 In
search Of adventure and found 1t. sail
ing around Cape Farewell and up the
western coast of the great peninsula
to which he gave the name Greenland,
from its green meadows, where reindeer
browsed. There he settled and named
the inlet Ericford In 9s5 he returned
The New York herald., 1922-07-05

to Iceland for fresh adventurers and
brought back with him in fourteen ves-
sells an additional colony that settled
inland and along the coast. So much
for Left Ericsson.
And now Tor the long suffering Geno-
ese Without going to the labor Of dis
tinguishing one from the other of the
results achieved by the four voyages
of this great navigator 1t will suffice
to say that besides landing at Wat
lings Island, October IL. 1892. he dis
covered Hispaniola. or Santo Domingo,
Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and others of
the Antilles: that he discovered and
explored Central America, from Hon
duras southwark along the coast OF
Veragua, and South America. from the
mouths of the Orinoco westward as far
as Margarita. In fact, one historian
states that he actually landed at Paria,
in Venezuela, while on his third voyage.
The first of the great navigators to
coast North America was John Cabot.
the Venetian seaman in the service of
Henry VII. of England who sighted
Labrador. June "a, 1497. and coasted
along the Atlantic seaboard to Florida,
returning to England in August of that
year.

thought the river bed contains large num-
Der of these curious fish that live IN shells.
There are button factories at Louisiana,
Canton and La Grange which were estab-
llshed when clans were plentiful, but the
demand was so great that clam beds on the
Mississippi we're soon thinned out and the
factories had to seek their shells from other
rivers. Then clam digging was stopped on
the Mississippi for five years. II takes that

Gompers's OutIawed Unions.

SAM GoAIPERs, sponsor for the
arrogant conduct of BERT M. JEWELL
in defying the United States Rail-
road Labor Board, and through it
the United States Government itself,
falls into a frenzy over the boards
resolution that the shop workers
unions, by going on strike and repu-
dating the authority of the board,
have outlawed themselves.
GoMPERs blatantly demands to
know where the United States Rail
road Labor Board gets the power to
disband voluntary associations of
labor. GoMPERs demands to know
how the board will assume to wipe
those organizations out of existence.
GoMPERs challenges the power of the
nation to dissolve the unions within
the American Federation of Labor
with his specific declaration, unions
cannot be unmade and remade at
Government dictation."
y But the United States Railroad
Labor Board, acting. for the United
States Government, has not under
taken to disband the outlawed
unions. 1t has not said word about
dissolving them. So far as its reso-
luton shows, the board has not given
q thought to the unmaking of unions
within the American Federation of
Labor. For all the board cares
on that record, the outlawed unions
can retain their entities and continue
their federation membership till
GABRIEL blows his trump.
What the United States Railroad
Labor Board does say is that, since
BERT M. JEWELL, the leader Of these
striking unions, denies the authority
of the board, denies the very exist
ence of the board 50 far as concerns
these unions. and since these unions
under his orders refuse to recognize
the application OF the national trans
portation act to themselves-what the
United States Railroad Labor Board
does say in regard to that attitude
OF BERT NJ. JEWELL and his unions
is that under these conditions it will
not do business with and cannot do
business with them.
1t cannot do business with them,
because the laws of the United States
Government provide on what terms
and in what manner the collective
bargaining between organized labor
and the employing railroads shall be
instituted and carried out within
the province and jurisdiction of the
United States Railroad Labor Board.
When the unions take themselves out
Of that province and jurisdiction,
when they refuse TO recognize the
very existence OF that province and
jurisdiction in any legal or moral ap-
plication to themselves, when they
defy any power to compel them to
deal with or recognize the board,
then, IL they are done with the board,
the board is done with them. That
is what the boards resolution says
and means.
But, since the. law Of the United
States Government still stands and
since under that national law the
board must function in respect of

tions Of railroad shop employees, as
