IN LIQUOR BRIBE CASE

ATLANTA, April 6.--In an alleg
cd conspiracy to defeat whisky case
made by the government against Her
bert r. Grayson, we'll known Atlanta
man, Attorney w. Paul Carpenter,
former assistant United States dis
trict attorney, and Harry SAPPHIRE,
former federal prohibition agent,
were jointly indicted Wednesday by
the federal grand jury.
SAPPHIRE, who was the officer who
arrested Grayson last August and
charged him with possessing six
quarts of whisky, is charged with
accepting cash bribes in consideration
of which he agreed to testify that he
did not know for a fact that the bot
ties contained whisky.
Attorney Carpenter is charged
with conspiring with SAPPHIRE to vio-
late section 1875 of the criminal code,
which makes it crime to obstruct
or impede justice. The attorney is
alleged to have been a party to the
bribery agreement.
The true bills were returned We'd
nesday following an investigation ex-
tending over four months by local
federal authorities. The probe into
the alleged bribe conspiracy was be-
gun early in December when Herbert

STYMIE RESTORED BY
u. S. GOLF ASSOCIATION

NEW YORK, April 6.-Restora-
iion of the stymie, banning Of the
steel shaft clubs from tournament
play and decision to charge admis-
sions to all championship tourna-
ments are among decisions announc-
ed by the executive committee of the
United States Golf association.
In restoring the stymie, the COM
mittee makes the American game in
this respect, uniform with the royal
and ancient play of Great Britain.
The stymie was abolished in Jan
uary, 1921.
Explaining its decision the COM
mittee says the stymie belongs in
golf" because "it represents the most
scientific phase Of the game" The
game was not improved by its aboli-
ton, in the committees opinion, nor
did net accomplish the purpose in
tended. One year supplied "fair
test" to determine the point.
The new stymie rule that will pre-
vail reads:
ga player is laid stymie if on
the putting green the opponents ball
lies in the line of his putt to the
hole, provided the ball be not with
in six inches of each other
