Former War Writer
 Is Suicide in Chicago

Chicago, July 27 P}-Christian D.. Hagerty, newspaperman and former war correspondent, was found shot to death, apparently by his own act, in the Commonwealth hotel to- day. A bullet from 8 rifle found nearby had entered the body near the heart.
 Hagerty had been an invalid for several years and had written a column of radio comment for the Chicago Herald and Examiner. He was born in Bennington. Mich.. July 24, 1876. After experience as re- porter and column conductor for the Chicago Daily News he served that paper as war correspondent in the Spanish American war. Later he was employed as editor and reporter by the Associated Press from 1899 to 1919, and served as war cores pondent in the Russo-Japanese war and in disturbances in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Mexico.

Memorial To King

Discussing the plans for the erec- ton of memorial to Ferdinand, the queen asserted she wished he might have been buried at Alba Julia, ancient capital of Rumania, where he and she were crowned in 1922, but that the state and church authorities believed he should be in- tered at Curtea Derges. with his uncle and aunt who preceded him on the throne.
 Ut is possible that some day all of us will be removed from Curtea to prettier and more romantic Alba Julia,' she said.
 At this point huge wreath of flowers from the president of the United States arrived which seemed to touch the queen intensely. She ordered it be placed in a conspicuous position.
 After asking the correspondent to thank the American people for their sympathy and thoughtfulness, the queen left the room and disappeared into the shadow of the mortuary chamber.

UNWRITTEN RULES
 ] 0F GOLF OUTLINED
Miss Mary K. Browne Gives
 Some Tips
BY MARY K. BROWNE United Press Staff Correspondent Copyright 1927 by United Press.)

Cleveland. July 27 (UP)-There are unwritten rules in golf which are the essence of good taste and good sportsmanship if compiled with or the curse of the game if un- observed. There is no written law against eating peas with your knife (except the one forbidding suicide) or drinking from your saucer, but there are binding rules of etiquette
 which are more stringent than the
 laws which compel the food to be pure.
 One of the things which are frowned upon by popular and effi- cient champions is the taking of
 many practice swings during a tour
 nament match. Such swings indi- cate an uncertain player and an in- considerate opponent. There are two women golfers who enter the important tournaments of the sea- son, and are actually the bane of
 the fields existence.
 They slow up the game for the
 entire field and keep their oppo-
 nents waiting while they indulge
 themselves with practice swing after
 practice swing during match. I
 have seen their opponents lie on the
 grass, gaze at the clouds, sigh heav- lily and wait and wait. The fact that there is no written rule as to how long you can hesitate before making your stroke, should make players more than ever careful not l to overstep the bounds of fair con- sideration.
 If these players are not certain enough of their shot to make up | their minds how to play the shot they should try one practice swing and then hit the ball. On the other
 hand I have seen them take any
 where from five to ten practice
 swings before hitting the ball. They
 not only exhausted their own
 strength, but also their opponents patience, and make themselves ridic-
 ulous.
 In a recent final round of an im- portant tournament, one of these  lice wagons" took one practice
 swing after another but her regular
 procedure on the greens was a
 work of art in throttling down the
 game. She lined up her putt from
 every angie, looking at it so long
 that the line must have become
 blurred, or perhaps she might have
 spent some of that time, in prayer.
 At any rate if she found the line of
 putt, she certainly must have lost
 it when she turned away from her
 ball and took a practice swing.
 What possible good could 1t do to
 get the line and then turn away and
 practice? If practice she must. 1t should come before the procedure of finding the line.
 , This match, the final of a state championship, took three hours and forty-five minutes, for twosome 10 make IS holes. Heaven forbid that
 these players should reach the finals

 Dr. Williams spoke on. "how to improve our relations with Latin the conference of Latin America re- lations of the United States. held un- der the auspices of the political science department of the University of New Hampshire.
 'The attempt to use the power and wealth of the United States to im- pose our culture on our Latin American neighbors naturally awak- ems their resentment, and oru claim that in doing so we are thinking not of our interests of their good, awak- ems their decision," he said.
 ''The educated American knows something about the political and so- cial problems of the great European nations and can name their prom inent statesmen, and even recall the names of some of their great writ CTS, but the average American neither knows or cares to know the life of Latin America. Only the business man is interested. Her statesmen are considered petty pol iticians. and her writers provincial.
 ''Is it any wonder that Latin America eagerly joins the League of Nations, where Der representatives, by clever political leadership of their bloc, have gained more than their proportion of elective officers?"
 Dr. Williams believed cooperation should supersede the old unequal relationships, "a cooperation based on intelligent knowledge, sympathet- ic understanding and sincere re- spect."
