radio operator. Mrs. Ormiston said
she received the letter following her
arrival in Sydney. where she went
to live with her father after leaving
California last January.
Mrs. Ormiston revealed, however.
that the letter informed her that she
was free to seek a divorce" while
Ormiston would be content to live
on in memories" Of a happy married
life.
Would Drop OrmistOn Case.
In the event the charges against
Mrs. Mcpherson and her cO-defend-
ants are withdrawn, a, motion also
would be made to quash the con-
spiracy indictment against Ormiston,
the district attorneys office indicated.
A new investigation was ordered
when Mrs. Wiseman. who previously
charged that she had been hired by
Mrs. Mcpherson to perpetrate the So
called Carmel hoax to bolster the
evangelist's kidnapping story, added to
her story the accusation that she had
been first approached with the propo-
sition by q relative OF Roland Rich
Wooley, at that time Mrs. McPher-
sons personal attorney.
Wooley issued strenuous deniel,
declaring that the whole thing Is a
frame-up engineered by interested
parties for the sole purpose of having
the case thrown out of court"
Mrs. Wiseman-Sielaff. who declared
that she and Wooley were schoOlmates
in Salt Lake City. was confronted
yesterday in the district attorneys
office by WoOley, who denied he had
ever seen the woman before she
visited his office here. Both We're or
dered to appear before the grand jury
today.
Alleged Offer of Revelation.
II was revealed by the prosecution
that during the past two weeks Mrs.
Wiseman had approached Los
Angeles newspaper with a PROPOSE
ton to sell il an entirely new version
of her story Of the disappearance. In
that connection, she offered TO give
the paper the name of the man who
she said had paid her to enter the
Mcpherson affair.
Mrs. Wiseman testified at the pre-
Iiminary hearing that she was em-
ployed by Mrs. Mcpherson to produce
a woman who would pose as the cot
tage companion of Ormiston. This
was taken by the State to indicate
that the evangelist had "manufac-
tured evidence" TO combat the States
contention that it was she who was
Omissions Carmel companion.

WHAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE Brennan DEFEAT

Secondly, if Mr. Brennan had been
elected, for the next six years he would
have sat in the United States Senate as
side partner of Senator Edge and block
ing all measures introduced for the sup
port and maintenance of prohibition and
to assist him in promoting everything
which looked toward its embarrassment
and defeat.
Third, Mi. Brennan's influence would
naturally have been of nature to weaken
the federal enforcement bureau and its ef-
fectivencss in the state of Illinois. Round
ly announcing his opposition to the whole
policy of prohibition, he could have done
no less than use his influence as senator
in seeing that appointees for the federal
court in his own state were wet instead OF
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1926-11-20

The wcts Of the whole country were
concentrating behind MI Brennan. They
believed this was their opportunity to
make a killing. Illinois and Chicago
looked like favorable battle ground.
If they had won, it would have been
heralded all over the United States as the
beginning OF the prophesed reaction
against prohibition IN every state wet
opposition would have taken on new life
and the difficulties in law enforcement and
maintaining political defense for the dry
cause, would have been greatly increased.
On the other hand the drys would have
been discouraged. They would have suf
3cred from the psychology Of defeat in
stead OF being heartencd by the psychol-
Ogy Of victory.

dry. His influence could not have failed
to be effective eventually in greatly weak
ening the federal office.
Fourth, the knowledge that the state
had voted wet when the campaign was so
clearly on that ISSUE, would have left all
enforcement officers in all parts of the
state, hesitating and uncertain, and would
have led many district attorneys and sher-
ifs to decline altogether to enforce the
prohibition law.
The defeat OF Mr.. Brennan has saved
Illinois from a terrible catastrophe Had
he, been elected, it would have given the
prohibition cause in this country ten
year setback. His defeat produces the
opposite effect in every particular. 1t
makes plain that the general sentiment in
Illinois is dry and not wet. That the peo-
pie expect their peace officers to enforce
the prohibition law. That federal ap-
pointments are not to be tampered with
by the vets and that Illinois gives to no

party any encouragement to bring out
wet candidate in 1923.
All over Illinois the drys should thank
God and take courage. We have won a
notable victory. There are others yet to
win but the same agency which directed
and won this battle, will, with the support
of the consecrated Christian people of this
state be able to win those which must
still be fought.

main fleet at Gilkeys, most of the
yachts arrived in the harbor In time
for many to go ashore Nd as the
rain had stopped a large number
visited the golf links.

stars, for the second time in as many
years, today lowered their colors to
the combined team of Oxford and
Cambridge, the Englishmen, with
young Lord Burghley. the crack
hurdled, registering two victories,
captured their international meet
seven points to five.
Last year, Oxford and Cambridge
defeated Princeton and Cornell Ia
to Pa at Atlantic City.
The slim margin of this years vic
tory kept the $4,000 spectators on
edge especially during the last few
events which decided the victory in
Great Britain's favor. It was not
until the last event-the half mile
that the meet was decided. AS it
was, the American representative,
Joseph r. Gibson of Princeton, was
only nosed out at the finish.
With the English system of scor-
ing only first places in use, the half
mile race found Great Britain lead
ing six to five. An American victory
would have meant tie and the meet
would then have been decided on sec
ond place of which the American
college men had a majority.

The automobile campers are a

WINS SUPREME TITLE
FOR BOBBY JONES

Jones of Atlanta, tonight is possess
sor of every supreme golf title in the
world, an honor never before man
tied on any golfer, by winning the

to Club with a score of 293. He an
nexed his latest title before a record
crowd of $500. most Of whom fol-
lowed the sturdy Southerner through
his final So holes today.
Good as Jones score was for the
gruelling Scioto links, he was only
one stroke ahead of Joe Turnesa of
New York, who had finished ahead of
Jones with 294. To overcome this
score Jones shot one under par on
the last nine, finished amodst a din
of APPLAUSE with a birdie four on the
$50 yard home hole.
After Jones had topped Turnsea
while all the other likely contestants
were still afield in the final stages of
the tourney resolved itself into a
thrilling contest to determine wheth-
er any one of the stars could over
haul the man, who, as it proved, had
the title already tucked away with
the other trophies he has garnered
since he first sprang into the lime
light of golfdom by qualifying in the

Among those VINO tried to beat
Bobby on the last round today was
an amateur, Chick Evans, who in
that year, 1916, won the unique dis
tinction Of capturing the national
open and amateur titles in the same
year, and set a record score of 2S6
seven on the long twelfth, where he

eral strokes, for he took to 70 for the
last round and totalled 302.
Another who was possible win
ner during this race was Bill Mehl-
horn of Chicago, who led the field the
first day with record IS to Jones
70, and again led the second day with
143, While Bobby had 100 by virtue
of 70 on the second round. But
Mehlhorn fell or today, taking IS in
the morning and 70 in the afternoon
for total of 297. which tied him for
