G|VERS OF BRIDES
BLAMED BY JUDGE
Receivers May Go to Jail, But
So viii Those Who Lured
Them, He Says.

BY tho Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 5.-Mayof
Henry Wissel of Edgewater, n. j.;
his chief Of police and other officials
may go to Jail for their part in the
operations of the rum runner Eker,
but if they do they will have as COM
panions the men whose money lured
them onto the primrose path of cor
ruption, the sentencing judge indl-
Gated today.
The mayor Police Chief James A.
Dinan, Detectives Alexander r. Elan
merry and Edward Pickering. all of
Edgewater; Customs Inspector Ed
ward A. Ritz of Union City, n. j.:
three officials of the Smith boat re
pair yard at Edgewater and six mem
bers of the Eker's crew were convict
ed by a jury last night of conspiracy
to dispose of struggled merchandise
All but the first four were sentenced
Immediately, the most severe penalty
imposed being one for a year and a
day in Atlanta. The mayor, Chief
Oman and the two detectives were
held for sentencing Wednesday. The
maximum penalty on conspiracy
conviction is two years and $4,000.
Cecil and Clifford Kinder and Dewitt
Turner, Chicagoans, who owned the
ILkSIs anu VI IIUNl-
dence, r. l.. all of whom pleaded
guilty and turned Government wit
nesses, were arraigned today for SEN
fencing. Borden received a suspended
sentence because Judge Meekins. who
sat in the trial, considered him a
minor figure in the conspiracy. The
other three, however, were held in
hail for sentencing two days after the
fate of Mayor Wissel and his three
subordinates has been decided.
When the judge announced that the
Kinder brothers would have to pro-
duce $4,000 bail each and Turner
$500, Assistant District Attorney
Stichman, who prosecuted the case,
interposed for them.
The judge called attention to testi-
mony that the KinderS and Turner,
whom he called 1.-The head and front
of the whole business" had distrib-
uted brides with a lavish hand.
What troubles me-" he told them,
SIS how / can, in good conscience,
send the mayor of Edgewater and
other officials to Jail and let you gen
tlemen escape. If you had stayed
away those men would probably not
be in their present condition.
These public officials were receiv
ing modest salaries. You offered them
large sums of money and they fell"
MY information is" Stichman
countered, that the mayor of Edge
water was waiting there to be Sc
duced: these defendants didn't have
to seduce him.
Judge Meekins finally decided that
he would postpone sentencing the
trio until next Friday to give them
time to bring their counsel from Chi
cago to argue motions. He gave Cliff
ford Kinder, whoi insisted that he did
not have $4,000 available, until Mon
day to raise his bail.
The hearing was then adjourned
after the judge had told the Kinders
and Turner that 1.-The path you are
facing now is not the primrose path
you have been travelling hitherto"

ARLINGTON, H., February "a
village of Samsons and Delilahs, in
broadly figurative way, is Arlington,
a community of 700 population, for
the town boasts no barber.
Main street is as devoid of beauty
shops as it is of barber poles and hair
cutting is reduced to a manual art of
selfimpoSition unless the fiappers and
the sheiks want to go some place else.
Even an itinerant barber, like the
old-fashioned umbrella member, would
find hospitality in Arlington, thinks
John Farmer, barber Of Lasalle.
Farmer, actuated by compassion,
took a day off and with shears, clip
pers of raZors, came to Arlington to
get welcome as an angel in disguise.
1t was the busiest hair-cutting day
of his career.

had had enough play and practice
during the winter, and was quite
well pleased with the way / was
playing. Naturally, I had a very
great respect for Walter as a foe
man, but thought l could beat
him.
The first half Of the match
was played at Whitfield Estates
Club in Sarasota, q very long
exacting course, with ''targeted
greenS"-the kind that sit up TO
meet the shot-with destruction
on either side. / think Walter
must have realized that II ] be.
gan to miss those greens with
my irons / would be an easy
victim. Well, that Is Just what
/ did and was. And this Is how
Ii happened:
Walter was very short, for him,
off the tee that day, and I outdrove
him on practically every hole where
distance counted. But Walter also
on that day was playing his irons
in wondrous fashion. The result
was that /, with, my ball lying well
ahead in the fairway with a seem
ing advantage, was forced to stand
more or less calmly by while Hag-
ems great iron shots went whizzing
up to the hole. And then address.
ing my shot and attempting to con-
centrate only on hitting the ball,
the quite natural thing to do was
to strain every nerve to get inside
Hagen's ball on the green. The
usual result was that I missed the
whole putting surface.
The whole day / flattered myself
that Hagen was really letting out
off the tee, and that was a very
long driver. But when found
myself eight down after the four.
tenth in the afternoon round, I
decided to take a look at Hagen's
tee club. He had 1t under his arm
as we walked down the fairway so
] asked to see it.
Eve been driving with a
braSsie today, Bobby. The old
driver isn't working 50 well and
l., didn't want to take any
chances with these trees"
So that was it. "The best shot
is not always the one to play"
Walter was smart enough to know
1t. But my education was not yet
complete.

At Baltusrol George Won Elm al.

entity, and then, like Hagen had done,
he set about making my second shot
hard for me. It is a matter Of rec.
ord that he succeeded. Georges
iron play that day was as fine as 1
have ever seen.
Please don't get the idea that this
Ii in any way offered as an excuse.
On the contrary, 1t is my wish to
convey the idea that Won Elm and
Hagen were smart enough to take
the greatest possible advantage from
their own brilliant ability with the
irons.
After the Won Elm match L
began to think. Is It not after
all an advantage to play the odd
off the drive? Certainly Il is,

close from the greater distance.
In golf any mental suggestion

tract the attention of the player

bound to have effect. And it il
remarkable how very slight the
suggestion may be.

time was afflicted with the terrible
habit Of shaking mashie shots. One
