BONDS GIVEN KING
 TRACED ID SMITH,
 DAUGHERTY'S AIDE
(Continued from First Page)

States had seized as enemy-owned.
 William S. Rand, counsel for Miller, brought from Merton a reit- cration of his belief that the claims he presented on behalf of the Societe Suisse Pour Naleurs De Me- tauX were valid.
 The government had adduced tes- | tlmony to show that the claims were not valid. United States Attorney Emory R. Buckner has maintained throughout tho trial that he does not have to prove the claims were | false in order to show the alleged conspiracy attending their payment.
 John T. King, alleged to have ne- gotiated $441,000 bribe and shared It with Daugherty and Miller, was ! S615, ,O0O in debt to New York bank when he died last May. shortly after his indictment with the two former 1 officials, it has been revealed in tes- ! timony at their trial.
 Charles F. Peck, loan clerk of the National City bank, made the dis closure yesterday in testifying that two $10,000 Liberty bonds paid to Richard Merton, German copper magnate was part recompense for a S7000,000 war time stock seizure were among the securities given for the indebtedness.
 Merton testified early in the trial that he paid the late republican na- tinnn1 fno a $50,000 check and S391,O00 in Liberty bonds for expediting his claim, which the government con- tends was illegally paid.
 Witnesses have testified that the equivalent interest on s100,000 of these bonds was deposited in the Midland National bank of Washing ton Court House, Ohio, of which Daugherty's brother Is president, that $24,000 of them were sold, and a check equal to the proceeds de- posted in the bank, and that S50,000 of the bonds actually were In the bank. A block of S50,000 was shown to have passed through the hands of Miller.
 Miss Vera B. Veail, assistant cash fer of the Midland National bank, testified yesterday that five s10,00O bonds of the Merton block were in the bank, in the name of Nal Daugh- erty, the former attorney-generars brother. He declared that four of the bonds were sold, and the pro- ceeds placed to the bank presidents credit. Later Nal Daugherty trans ferred to his brother nearly s50,000, she said, which included about s9.-

MISS COLIETT IS
 VICTORIOUS TODAY

two puts for her win.
 Again out in front, the Providence girl struck out boldly for her tri- umph, reaching the seventeenth green with a 2l0-yard clout from the tee. Mrs. Hill, barely on in two, needed three to hole out against the champions par four.
 Coming to the eighteenth one up, the cham pion's superior hitting with her wooden clubs clinched the vic tory. Here she was within 30 feet of the green with her second, while Mrs. Hill once more was barely on in three. The champion pitched up to within 20 feet of the flag and was down in two butts while Mrs. Hill, stroking slowly, required three. The cards:

 Others in Contests.
 Rounding the turn, Mrs. Norman Rood was one down to Mrs. F. C. Let's, Jr., Virginia Wilson three down to Mrs. J. W. Taylor, Rosalie Knapp two up on Mrs. Jacob Diss- ton. All the players appeared to be going badly, especially on the greens, and medal scores began to soar even higher than yesterday.
 Contrasting sharply w$h the eX- perience of many of the stars, Ruth Batchelder brought off a streak of sensational putting to become four up on Mrs. Raymond Slotter of Phil mont, Pa, at the turn. The Boston player sank low puts from the edge of the green at the fourth, sixth seventh and ninth holes.
 Ada Mackenzie of Toronto, the Canadian champion, made the turn 2 down to Mrs. G. II. Stetson.
 Word reached the club house that Edith Cummings of Chicago, another outstanding contender and former titleholder, was locked in a gruel- ling match with Helen Meehan oi Philadelphia. After the slow start the midwest player put on a deter; mined spurt to become 3 up at the turn, but the Quaker girl rallied gamely over the inward route to re. duce her margin to a single hole al the 18th.
 In two other closely fought battles Rosalie Knapp of New York eimin. ated Mrs. J. s. Disston, Jr., of Phila,

 Closing strongly on the last nine holes of the match after being three down at the turn, Virginia Wilson of Chicago pulled out her match against Mrs, J. w. Taylor of Evans town, H., and 1. Ada Mackenzie of Toronto, the Canadian champion, went down before the stroking of Mrs. G. H. Stetson of Philadelphia by a similar count.
 Leading from tho very outset Ruth Batchelder of Boston triumphed over Mrs. Raymond Slotter of Philadel- phiay, and 3, while another favorite came through uneXtendcd when Ber- nice Wall, of Oshkosh, Wis, finished with a six hole margin over Mrs. 1T. Arnold Jackson of Greenwich. Conn. Edith Cummings of Chicago, chamuion of three years ago, barely saved a thrilling duel against Helen Meehan of Philadelphia, which came to the home hole shortly after the completion of the close Collett-Hill 1 battle.
 I Maureen Orcutt, of Englewood, N. J., metropolitan champion, and rated one of Miss Collett's outstanding ri- vals for the championship, was un- cNpectedly defeated by Mrs. Lee Mida of Elmhurst, III. 1 and 3.

PIANOS TODAY CLOSED SECRETS
No Effort Made to Keep Them
 We'll Tuned

Chicago, Sept. 2S R,-Popular but .shrouded in ignorance, the piano in the average American home today is q closed secret, to rich and poor alike, says w. F. Mcclellan, secre- tary of the National Association of Piano Tuners.
 Many pianos" he states, "have ceased to be musical instruments. Of 1000 pianos tested $50 had not a chance for harmony. They were of that class that had ceased to be mus ical instruments.
 Ignorance of Tunes
 "Nearly every plano tuner can tell of hearing this: Why, have not had that piano tuned since I bought it. and Its eight years since that piano was tuned and I think 1t still sounds very good.'
 Its hard for piano tuner to keep a straight face sometimes. In one of Chicago's richest homes, the mis- |tress, who speaks four or five lan- guages spoke to me casually about the metal sounding board of her pianol
 Change In Styles
 Ignorance, of which this is an ex- treme example. date from the time IChickering made the first metal plate piano, and did away with the neces- Isity, one might say, of keeping a piano tuner on the premises. Before that all piano plates were wood. When 1t Is realized that the strain on a plate is between 1 6 and IS tons, lit is easy to see why the wooden ;piano was always out of tune. They needed tuning as frequently as vio- lins today.
 Comparative freedom from such frequent tuning sent piano dealers and buyers to the other extreme. In- stead of telling buyers pianos needed periodic tuning, dealers spoke only of the first cost, and nothing of the upkeep. So it is no eSaggeration when our President Deutschmann said there were 8.o0o,oo0 pianos out of tune in America"
