A Clean of Hope.

agreed with District officials that there is
100000 standing to the credit of the Dis
trCt in the Federal repository is cheering news to
q community just saddled with an increase of
per cent in its tax rate. The news is especially
welcome since its portends if upheld by the joint
Congressional committee, a reduction year in
the tax levy Washingtonians pay. 1t is
piece Of ill-forune that the tax rate had
to be fixed before final decision reached
the contested 100000.
Mere acquiescence by Treasury officials in the
claims of the District does mean that the
ruling of the committee will to the local
authorities the fund in question although to the
casual observer it would seem there was nothing
else to do. 1t looks like case OF Farmer Brown
saying he sold his crops and gave the money to
Banker Smith to keep for him; an application for
return OF the money and refusal. Farmer Smith
appeals to court for adjudication He states his
and Banker Smith is called. The latter
Acknowledges Farmer Brown has stated the facts
correctly, that the cash had been paid into his
hands. Acting under the rules OF equity the
then would instruct Banker Smith to pay over to
Farmer Brown the in question. Very simple.
But
Farmer Brown has money in the bank, has
large family, each member possessed OF vote;
his eldest is close Ito the governor, another
son has vote in the Congress OF the United
CtdlcS. Drown Is potential power TO De
reckoned with. If he is done an injury he will
appeal to powers higher than the local courts The
local courts know this and the case is decided on
its merits. Farmer Brown gets his money.
The District Of Columbia possesses no such
potential power. 1t must rely upon the fairness
OF the judges. The principal testimony has been
taken; the bank acknowledges receipt OF the
money; court order is all that prevents payment
To the ordinary observer it would seem that
the Districts had been tried and proven al
ready. Perhaps there facts as yet undisclosed
which have bearing upon the decision to be
made. If so let have them. We have every
confidence in the fairness OF the judges, but we
cannot forget that the District OF Columbia has
influential friends at court authorized to plead
for, nay, demand justice
There is intention to PREJUDICE or 10 criti-
else the judges. We only set forth the facts
as they appear to And on the face of the
testimony adduced to date we fail to see why
Judgment cannot be handed. down immediately
However, since the eventual decision cannot effect
rne way the other the present tax rate it may
&c well to go into the very thoroughly and
hand down ruling which cannot be subject to
review.
We rely upon the justice Of the mediators, but
cannot help but wish the District occupied posi-
ton analogous to Farmer Brown.

Speculative Rails
 Featured in Bonds
By Associated Press

New York, May 22.-The greater part of today's fairly large opera tions in the bond market centered around speculative rails and several of the local utilities. domestic. and foreign war loans contributing less than their usual proportions. Almost all the liberties were appreciably bet ter, however, especially the tax exempt SIS and third 4Ms. French issues held steady, despite the lower trend of exchange. but their offer ings failed to respond to the better tone of sterling exchange.
 The several E~ie Issues were most active of the lower priced rails. fol- lowing the pace set by Erie common and the, two classes of preferred stock. St. Paul 4s of 1925; St. Louis and San Francisco adjustment. Kan sas City Southern 3s. Rock Island general 4s, Pere Marquette 5s. Louis- vile and Nashville n, Chesapeake and Ohio convertible 5s, Pennsyl- vaniA General 4hs and Central of New Jersey 5s were better by frac- tions to 1 point.
 Recent buying on coppers dimin- ished. the chief movement in that group being a gain of 2h points for Cerro DePasco SIS and some inquiry for American Shelters 5s. Total sales (par value) aggregated $15,737,ooo.

Western Golf Body Puts Sanction on
 Steel Shafted Club

New York, May z2.--(special.)-- Last Tuesday the Western Golf as at tho Edgewater Golf club. held field test of the new steel shafted golf club. Tho experiments were made by Bob Mcdonald and Allan Cow, Chicago, professionals, and Chick Evans. former amateur and open champion. Each player drove six balls with steel shafted clubs and six with hickory shafted clubs.
 The executive committee of the Western Golf association on the fol- lowing day announced that It's in- vesti igations and tests showed that steel shafted golf clubs give no me- chanical advantage to players and their use would bo permitted in tour naments conducted by this assocla- ton.
 The United States doif association recently barred the steel shaft, but in official circles 1t is understood that this decision may be recon sidered.
 Golf club manufactu admit that the hickory supply is very low and growing scarcer each year. They also say that only . very few good hickory shafts can be produced from every batch of hickory cut. This, of course, gives some golfers better clubs than others. It also gives every golfer different qaulity club. The new steel golf shafts, however. pre- vide every golfer with exactly the same quality clubs. This new de- velopment gives the 100 and over player just as good clubs as the pro- fessional or champion has had.
 Golfers say that these new steel shafts mako their clubs feel good and hang right. They are lighter than hickory se that the weight of the club is brought lower and the balance Is consequently more perfect. This nicety of balance. of course. is what golfers are constantly looking for. It permits them to feel the head and thus hit the ball more naturally.
 The steel shaft win not help you drive further nor straighter as was proven this week in Chicago. but 1t does give the average golfer bet ter cIub---it givss him more oonfi- denoe in his game. As we heard ono man say the other day: No club Is going to help . man keep his eye on the ball any better" And as a lead ing professional said recently: No one can make a golf club which will give . man . golf game. but If you can make him . stroke, he can use any old club and set good results"

Leonard was off in the lead and had Red putting from thumps to the body. Then bam went a left hook from Herring and Leonard rolled over the ropes. He took the count of nine, only, to staeger to his feet to go down from a poke from Herring's right paw. Then a left flattened Leonard again, and the bell found him sroveling on the can vass.
 Leonard reouperated and came from his corner like & new man in the sec ond. but Herring's well directed left hand caught Leonard squarely on the chin in 6 mixup, and Leonard sank beneath the clouds for . long. long count.
 Frankie Armstrong; of Louis-

The Leonard-Herring bout here had caused considerable com ment and some dissatisfaction among local railbirds.
 Herring a short time ago issued 6 statement to the effect that both his hands had healed. and that from then on he would show the fans some punching. Red has won his two bouts since then by knock-outs early In the fight.
