of Golf Final.

CASCADES GOLF CLUB, HOT
SPRINGS, Va, September 29.-Miss
Glenna Collett of Providence made a
great start toward her third national
golf championship today, playing around
in rs to lead Miss Virginia Van VIE
of Chicago 10 up at the end Of 18
holes of their 36-hole final match.
Miss Collett played the first nine
holes in So for the third time in three
days and was up on the young Chi
cago girl as they started home. BY
winning the tenth the former champion
went 8 up, but half at the eleventh
and win for Miss Van VIE at the
twelfth reduced the lead to 7. Miss
Collett tried to cut corner at the
twelfth and hit tree with her tee
shot, the ball bounding into a water
hazard.
After the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth we're halved Miss Van VIE
took three puts at the sixteenth, the
last from 2 feet, and gave Miss Col
lett a chance to increase the lead again
TO 8. There was nothing the youngster
could do about the 459-yard seven
teenth, for here Glenna coupled great
brassie shot with her longest drive of
the round to reach the green in and
get birdie 4.
A sensational recovery from the
rough after a pulled drive at the
eighteenth left her a five-foot putt for
the birdie 8 that was good enough to
win the last hole of the morning round
and permit her to go to lunch with
the almost unbeatable lead of 10 holes.

POLICEMEN SHIFTED
Every Officer and PatroIman
in City Transferred in
Graft Expose.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, September 29.-An-
nouncing that he was determined to rid
the police force of grafters and place
the blame where it belongs" Mayor
Harry A. Mackey has ordered the great
est sElakeup in the history Of the Phil
adelphia Police Bureau.
The order calls for the transfer to
new districts of every officer and pa
trolman in the city. 1t affects more
than 4,500 men and is regarded as one
of the most far-reaching shakeups in
the police annals of any American mu-
nicipality.
Spurred By jury Probe.
Mayor Mackey's action was prompted
by the special grand jury's investigation
Of bootleggers and their ''rackets," which
has resulted in the arrest of nearly 40
policemen, including three captains, on
charges of extortion, bribery and con-
spiracy.
Mr.. Mackey said that his drastic
order was only preliminary move to
clean up" the city and that when he
was through every dishonest policeman
will have been driven from the force
and bootleggers and gangsters will have
become scarce.
Under the mayors order, all of the
43 district commanders, before trans
fer, must render to the director of pub
lie safety a detailed account of condi-
tions in his district, compiled from data
furnished by sergeants, detectives and
patrolmen. The reports to show con-
ditions as of Sunday night, Septem-
ber 80.
Report Ordered.
When the gigantic transfer has been
completed every new district command
er must give full report on conditions
in his district as of Sunday night, Oc-
tober 7. These reports must be filed
with the mayor the next day.
The two sets of reports will be then
compared with the idea Of ferretlng
out inaccuracies and adverse conditions,
and every commander will stand or fall
by the record, the mayor said: None OF
the patrolmen or officers will know IN
advance to which district he will be as
signed, the mayor having laid down an
injunction of strict secrecy on this
point.
To Press Indictments.
District Attorney Monaghan, who is
conducting the grand jury inquiry, an
nounced today that indictments against
police officials and others arrested as an
outgrowth of the investigation would
be returned on Monday, and the de-
PENDANTS placed on trial as speedily as
the courts could take care of their
cases.
Further arrests, which the prosecu-
tor predicted Thursday, have been de-
ferred, he stated, "aS matter of good
generalship" The delay, he said. was
only temporary. He said the end of the
inquiry was not in sight.

SMITH TO AIR DRY
PROGRAM TONIGHT.
Milwaukee Speech Is Apt to
Clarity Views on Liquor
Sales Control.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, September 90
In this former brewing center, Gov.
Smith tonight will lay before a watt
ing electorate his detailed program for
prohibition reform.
The speech, the sixth and last of his
two weeks Western invasion, will be the
first devoted by the Democratic presi-
dental candidate to the eighteenth
amendment and Volstead act since he
advocated their modification in his ac-
ceptance speech at Albany, August %.
With only this one subject as his text,
1t is expected that the nominee will
elaborate to some extent on the stand
he took in that address for State control
of liquor sales. and in the side discus
sion of prohibition at Omaha September
18, when, at the close of his farm relief
speech. he answered one of several ques-
tions propounded to him in newspaper
advertisement with the declaration that
he did not consider liquor "the great
issue" of the campaign.
Works Late on Speech.
AS Is his custom, Gov. Smith worked
late on a draft of his speech last night
at the Hotel Schroeder, where his party
is quartered. A press conference was
the first engagement facing him after
breakfast today.
It was then planned to take him on
tour of the city, probably for a visit at
Marquette University. whose students,
in brown derbieS and college f1ivvers.
turned out in large numbers last night
and paraded several miles alongside the
automobile procession.
A visit to the Soldiers Home also
had been arranged for the nominee,
who is spending 42 hours in this Wis
consin metropolis before making bee
line for Rochester, N. Y, for the State
Democratic convention Monday.
At this meeting, which he plans to
address. an entire State ticket, irclud-
ing a nominee for governor, will be
named and a platform adopted, and
unusual interest is being manifested in
it because of the effect it is to have on
the presidential situation. Arrange
ments had been made by Gov. Smith
today to receive reports on the Repub-
lican State COnVenClOn aC SYRACUSE,
which also was to name gubernatorial
candidate.
Has No Information.
Asked yesterday at press confer
ence on board his train as it cut across
eastern Minnesota for Milwaukee
whether he had heard anything about
the New York State Democratic situa-
ton, the governor replied in the mega
tive.
well, have you told them anything
yet?" a reporter queried.
mo. 1 haven't had any correspond
ence on it, back or forth, one way or
the other
Have you got anything written on
the back of an envelope?" some one
asked.
yes" the governor admitted, smil-
ingly.
The New York executive will return
to Albany Tuesday and probably rest
all of the remainder of the week before
starting out on his second swing of
stumping. The itinerary for this tour
still is in an indefinite stage.

BRIDE ASKS DUNLOP
TO CITE AUTHORITY

G. Thomas Dunlop. general counsel
of the Capital Traction Co., was in
vited today by Corporation Counsel
William w. Bride to submit brief
citing legal authorities in support of
his contention at the recent hearings
on the company's application for a
higher fare that the Public Utilities
Commission is compelled to grant the
increase.
Mr.. Bride had previously given Peo-
pies Counsel Ralph B. Fleharty an Op-
portunity to quote precedents in support
of his plea for a dismissal of the fare
raise application on the ground that
the company is not poverty
and he said he felt compelled to extend
the same privilege to the company's
attorney.
Mr.. Brides opinion, on which the
fate of the car fare increase now ap-
parently rests, probably will not be
completed for at least a week.
