Baltusrol and Mr.. Keller.
The Golf Course and the Mountain
IL Was Named For.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Findlay
Sackett's charming letter about Baltus-
rol brings back memories OF more than
twenty-five years. But shades of the
departed Why head the letter BAL
tusrol Hill"? 1t has been known as
Baitus Roll Mountain three-quarters of
century or more. In the old club
house--not. thank goodness. a fashion
able one" but delightful, rambling old
farmhouse-we framed and hung the
original deed from old Baltus Roll. after
whom and his forebears the mountain"
was named.
lost when the clubhouse was destroyed
by fire some years ago. 1t was made
to Louis Keller. who had an abiding
faith In the future OF his pet hobby, the
Baltusrol Golf Club, and / am disap-
pointed that no one has SO far taken
the trouble TO write the story Of that
most interesting undertaking.
Mr.. Keller was the heart and soul of
the. club. his brains planned It and his
energy and resources carried It through.
For some twenty years his only charge
for the use OF the land was a nominal
rental OF $40 year, and only those
who worked with him and for him In
helping to build up the club know how
intensely he planned and worked and
what encouragement and assistance he
gave to the officers and chairmen OF
committees who were carrying on the
work.
Requicscat in pace His was a ster-
ling and unique character and the club
Is large loser by his untimely death.

Are Playing Cards Devices" /?

Governor MILLER has signed the
Duke anti-gambling device bill, and
il the Interpretation put upon its
terms by many of its adherents and
opponents is upheld by the courts
New York will have a prohibitory
statute affecting gaming utensils COM
parable in it's comprehensiveness
only to the Mullan-Gage law for the
suppression of the liquor trade.
The enactment has been known as
the put and take top BILL" because
it would render illegal the sale of
toddle tops, which recently have
achieved considerable popularity. Ac-
tually it is much broader than this
title indicates.
The new law prohibits the leasing,
sale or exposure for lease or sale of
any machine or device Of any kind
or nature by the use or operation of
which there Is an element Of chance
for the winning or losing Of money
VI OLACl IAiu6S VI NdiuC. hC SOui ",
will define the meaning Of device
as used in the statute. If they adopt
the Interpretation put upon it by
some persons it will be illegal to
offer playing cards, dominos or check
ers for sale within the State.
This measure has had the support
of many active reformers, so 1t is
not to be expected that it will be
allowed to become dead letter. A
test case will be before the courts
soon after the statute goes into ef
feet. When decision is rendered on
it the public will know whether il
can buy playing cards in New York
or must go to New Jersey or a West
ern mail order house for them, as
New York thugs do for pistols.

The roundup as 1t proceeded through

as traffic regulations are concerned
can truthfully say that none Of the des-
peradoes in the guise of hot dog men

But, on the contrary, as the gorgeous

sire to call attention to the fact that the
course taken by the parade was east

the wrong side OF the street?
1t Is difficult to understand the motive
for such a waste Of time and energy

The vista of its looming cafion walls
Is closed by apparition OF a spire,
Like slender cataract OF drifting foam
That lights roaring chasm with it.
gleam.
Too fragile seems the shaft to hold its
poise
Amid this tumuit OF the city street.
And yet through all the turmoil of the
years
1t lifts it's snowy cross above their strife
In steadfast sign of pardoning grace
and love,
That none with eyes to see, amid these
throngs
Can fail. for all the barter and the greed
For all false lures and anguish Of
despair,
To view still radiant with its pledge
of peace.
All, yes, and have seen the spire when
dawn
Smote all it's carven height with roseate
glow
Above the awakening city. fair as bloom
or lily blushing with celestial day.
And have watched 1t when sudden
storm
Rolled livid waves Of cloud across the
noon
Until the city groped beneath the pail.
Against the menace gleam triumphantly
With pallid luster OF its tracery,
And tapering thrust Of spiritual strength
Like some intrepid martyrs bare white
arm,
Upholding in unfaltering grasp the
cross
Against dark tumult OF an insatiate mob.
And always when the drift of wintry
fogs
Enwraps the shaft from view. like chill
ing doubt
That seems to swallow mans last val
liant hope,
And leave no symbol to console his pain.
The purging winds sweep free again.

The Poison Pen at It's Worst.

Tulle, a pleasant little city of
France, which gave its name to rich
silk net fabric made there, has been
through what the inhabitants de-
scribe as a reign of terror" Some
person-"the Demon Of Tulle" is the
designation applied to this uncanny
indiSidual-has sent out during the
last three years hundreds of anony.
mous letters. Practically every one
of the 10000 Inhabitants was af-
fected by these mysterious messages;
many persons" says report, ''fell
i'll of the torture, two went mad and
one died."
Writers Of anonymous letters carry.
ing threats of exposure or violence
have been common enough in all
civilized countries. New Jersey re-
Gently furnished two instances Of the
poison pen writer's; a Michigan
city was plagued by an anonymous
letter writer whose sole motive ap-
parently was to break up homes; two
upstate towns were puzzled for
year by letters threatening their citi-
zens with dangerous revelations"
and Philadelphia not long ago had
plague of poison pen writer's. An in
vestigator, whom the Tulle authori-
ties called from Paris to aid them in
uncovering the author of the Tulle
letters, declared that the affair in
that city was but "a phase of an in
tense wave of anonymous denuncia-
tion rampant in France" and which
he said was "one of the symptoms of
the moral depression following the
war"
None of the cases, however, was
comparable with that of Tulle. There
was in fact no precedent for the three
years unceasing campaign of poi
son pen letters in which the good
names of public officials and of the
wives and mothers of the town were
slanderously attacked. At first the
motive was thought to be the forcing
of blackmail. When there was no
evidence to prove this it was sus-
pected the writer was seeking per-
sonal revenge against few individ-
uals. But when the letters finally
began to attack indiscriminately per-
sons of all classes of society it be-
came evident that the motive was a
desire. only to inflict mental pain and
anguish, in fact to torture.
The poison pen writer is always a
coward and his method despicable.
But when his only purpose is to tor
ture he is guilty of a most con-
temptible offense. The two individ-
uals who were declared responsible
for the three years sorrows and mis-
cries of their neighbors accepted the
only course left to them when, few
days ago, unable to face their accus-
ers, they took their own lives. The
food of scurrilous letters ceased and
Tulle dropped back to its former
peaceful existence. Its experience,
however, showed the detection OF
anonymous letter writer's, no matter
how skillful they are in hiding their
tracks, is certain to be brought about,
and in the end their careers of ma
licious slender are sure to bring dis
aster to themselves.
