to Appear Today; Police
Admit Clues Are Lacking

NASHVILLE, Tenn, oct. 16
uNs).-Police today were baf-
fled in their investigation Of the

cal.

phone company, was one OF the
witnesses under subpoena to ap-
pear today at the Nye nearing
now In its second day. ,
Police admitted they had little
or no information which might
lead to the solution Of the
mystery, and said they had been
unable to ascertain whether the
throat wound was Self-infllcted
or not. They were inclined, how
ever, to follow the theory that
Cox was wounded by assailants
who gained entrance to the room.

Cox's room at the hospital to
which he was taken, having been
informed that the witness was
still in an unconscious state.

recover. He suffered a great
loss Of blood before reaching the
hospital, 1t was said.

lists, and Rev. Daniel Polling,
president Of the international
Christian Endeavor Society and
editor Of the Christian Herald,
were guest speakers yesterday
afternoon at the international
Convention Of the Disciples Of
Christ at the washington Audi
torium. Bishop Freeman stated:
eve must scrap everything
that hampers the free wOr-
ship Of Christ.
'Tt is time for us to con-
slider seriously the problems
which are causing dissension
in the Christian churches and
to put away from US every
hindrance to the service OF
our Master
'1t was very significant that
ut the recent convention Of the
officials Of the Church of Eng
land, held in London, that .
very large portion Of the de-
libefatiOns of that assembly
were concerned with the get
ting rid Of the impedimenta in
the Church which detractS from
following in the footsteps OF
the Saviour"
Similar sentiments looking to-
ward the erasure Of denomina-
tional differences were expressed
by spokesmen for other Churches.
Christian unity was the theme
Of addresses given last night at
both the Washington Auditorium
and Constitution Hall. These
were heard by 5000 delegates who
have assembled at the National
Capital from all parts of the
United States and from 80 for
eign countries.
Speaking on christian Unity
After a Century" the Rev. DR..
Edgar Dewitt Jones, Of Detroit,
told the Washington Auditorium
audience:
"FOr Q hundred years the
Disciples Of Christ have pro-
C1AA0ACO GAAO AAA4uAty VA SCS~
tarianism, the scandal of q di-
vided church. They can never
be satisfied with merely de-
nOminatiOnaI success.
"There should be room among
the Disciples for the most stal-
wart defender of his cOnvic-
tiOnS, II only the desire to
excOmmunicate be eliminated.
@The greatest need Of the
hour Is for more prophets Of
Christian unity; men who have
the, courage to renOunce proud
inheritance, deny q passionate
preference, conquer q deep
prejudice for the sake of unity"
"Pentecost, q Climax and q
Beginning" was the theme of the
address from the same platform
by Jesse M. Bader, of Indian
apolis. Speakers at Constitution
Hall were H. C.. Armstrong and
Charles r. Scovills.

Baker automobile after the mur-

Go To Oak Grove
The Hamiltons at the close Of
their work in the courthouse went
to Alexandria foA a conference
with Smith.
Late this afternoon they said
they will go to Oak Grove, Vay
to inspect the automobile in which
the Government contends the girl
was killed, and which now is in
the possession Of her father, the
Rev. Thomas Baker.
Following his inspection of the
girls clothing yesterday, Hamil-
ton said that the bullet holes in
the dress and undergarments
proved to him that she was not
killed in tie automobile.
He said there were no powder
marks around the bullet holes
which showed to him that the
bullets were fired at a distance.
If she had been shot in the small
car she owned then powder marks
would surely be around the bullet
holes, Hamilton said.
Erased by Water
The Government contends that
the powder marks around the
bullet holes in the woman's cloth
ing were erased by the water in
the culvert in which Miss Bakers
body was found. The Government
will not use the automobile at the
trial.
DR.. Hamilton said that on the
return from Oak Grove tonight
he will hold a conference with
Smith and members of the Camp
bell family to decide If their serv.
ices are needed at the trial.
He explained that he and his
son were only employed to scrutin-
ize the exhibits Of the Govern
ment.
He added that if necessary
Smith could give the same teSti.
mony at the trial that he can
give concerning the bullets fired
from the Campbell pistol. @
81. Denies Death SIugs
He again with emphasis said
that the Slugs found in the
woman's body did not come from
the pistol which Campbell turned
over to the police and which the
accused man is alleged to have
said was the one used to kill the
girl. ">

I observe with no little inter
est that project is under way
to carry a company Of Wash
ington golfers away from these
States during the month of Oc-
tober for the purpose Of afford
ing them an opportunity to
play some of the more promi-
nent courses of England, Scot
land and France.
My interest in this forth
coming expedition is probably
made somewhat more acute by
the fact that within the present
year l have headed two fight
expeditions, one to Miami and
one to the Schmeling-Sharke
fight iIi New York. to which the
public of Washington rallied
vesy willingly and l am wonder
ing il the approximately one
months tour of the foreign golf
ing meccas will meet with
corresponding appeal. I hope it
does and believe it will for
Washington is loaded with ar
dent golfers.
It seems that the idea orig-
mated out at Congressional
Country Club where my friend
Jimmy Nolan, of the French
Line, does no little playing how
ever Indifferent some Of it may
be. A bunch Of the boys were
chewing the fat in the locker
room after a heated match in
the heat of the day, and one Of
Jimmy'S fellows asked him why
he didn't arrange a tour OF
the likes Of Sunningdale, Gull
lane, st. Andrews, Gleneagles,
Killermont, Deal and st. Cloud.
The proposal was laughed off
at the moment, but later on
Jimmy commenced to give it
some serious thought and on
comparing schedules and rates
he Ascertained that a 26-day
tour could be arranged. taking
in all Of the above mentioned
courses. for considerably under
500 srnackerS, everything first
class. going and coming.
He submitted such figures to
some of his fellows out at Con-
gressional and before he could
say Jack Robinson" eleven
had agreed to take the trip.
The thing has now taken such
impetus that. although the tour
has been officially named,
THE Congressional Golfing

Unfold
BY JUNO KINERK.

nA 1OENO kA1xNE0As
A move is now on FOOT to-
unite the nine country clubs in
and about Washington lying in
nearby Maryland to the Mary
land State Golf Association. A
conference between officers Of
the District of Columbia ASso-
ciation and those of the NJ. S.
@. A. will be held here in the
near future for the purpose Of
bringing about this merger.
The purpose behind the move
is to present a united front to
the United States Golf Associa-
ton with what resultant pressure
the two large cities of Washing
ton and Baltimore could bring
to bear to secure the U. s.. anna
teur tournament in this section
in 1881 or 1882.
Such q merger, II Is be-
Iieved, would give this body
great weight and prestige with
the u. s. G. A.. Those be-
hind the move reason that
recommendations then made
by the Maryland State body
would gain favorable action
from the u. S. association.
Robert Mclean, jr., president,
and Edgar A. Peppler, secretary.
of the Maryland State Golf ASSo-
citation, are the two men directly
behind the proposed merger.
Their plan Is to issue an invita-
tion in the near future to the
local body to join their associa-
ton.
The contemplated move would
in no wise affect the District OF
Columbia Association. which also
has in its body the clubs in near
by Virginia as well as those IN
Maryland. This body would con-
tinue to function Just as it has
in the past, the Maryland clubs
becoming indicted into the State
Association merely to give that
body the added weight and
prestige it would acquire by the
addition of these nine clubs.
1t is pointed out that the pro-
posal would also greatly strengthen
the Maryland State Golf AsSocia-
ton financially. The champion
| ship tournaments and the team
competitions between the mem
berS of this new body would con-
seouently be of the best.
Just now the Maryland
/
its hands in the way of eligi-
bility of two Of It's Baltimore .
members to play in the ma
tional amateur championship.
The two players, Alex Knapp =.
and Ernest Caldwell, are un-
certain as to their status for
entrance into this tourna-
ment, there being some Ques'
tiOn concerning their records
for the past two years.
Each entrant in the national
amateur never having played "A
the tourney before must submit
his entry, together with his COM
petitive record for the past two
years. First of all, he must have
a handicap rating of three or less.
Then the player is investigated by
the U. S. G. A. and told whether
or not he is eligible to play.
Thus, if the new body were, ef-
fected, it is pointed out that the
investigation would be only per.
functory in nature and that the
say-so of the Maryland State Or
garization would automa atically
control a players status, provid-
ing he were a player from mem
Der club. This is one of the most
important advantages the new and
larger body would give.
