CURTIS To OPEN
DRIVE TODAY
IN EAST
Vice President, Fighting Mad,
Will Reply to Roosevelt;
Garner Returns Home

Inaugurating a speaking
campaign which is expected
to take him into many States,
Vice President Curtis today
prepared to open the Repub.
lican State drive in Pennsyl.
vania with an address al
Fogelsville.
The Vice President, who mo.
tored from the Capital, said he
will discuss agricultural and eco
nomic issues. 1t was expected he
would answer the criticism of the
Republican Administration voiced
by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In a Fighting Mood
In a fighting mood, Curtis said
he would carry on wherever the
Republican National Committee
asks him to go.
Slated to make speeches in
West Virginia, Kentucky and Ten
neSSee, Curtis then will cross the
Mississippi to Oklahoma and may
cover virtually all of the great
farm country of the West.
Rival vice presidential candi
dates worked away on campaign
plans at opposite ends of the
Capitol for several hours, but
failed to see each other.
Speaker John N. Garner, Demo
cratic candidat tie, temporarily
abandoned all plans for a cam
paign in the East because of the
serious illness of his aged mother
in Texas. He had planned to go
to New York on Monday, but in.
stead returned to Texas today on
adV1ceS that there is little hope
for his mothers recovery.
Attacks Hoover Claims
Before receiving this word, Gar
ner issued statement in which
he charged that President Hoover
mad changed front on the ques
ton of relief and is claiming
credit for Democratic legislation.
He exuded optimism after his
trip here from the West, and
predicted a Democratic victory
by 100000 votes if the presen
trend of sentiment of the voters
gains momentum.
Although he expressed himself
willing to speak wherever asked tc
by the Democratic national com
mtttee, Garner is frankly adverse
to an extended speaking cam
paign. He holds that the people
understand the issues and that hi.
own position is we'll known.
He predicted a Democratic vic
tory by 10,000,0 900 votes if what he
believes is the present swing Of
sentiment continues to gain mo
mentum.

BANKRUPTCY
Stockholders Given Ray of
Hope by Receivers; Claims
for Losses Filed

CHICAGO, Sept. II G.N.S.).
Receivers for the Middle West
Utilities Company today shot a
ray Of hope through the gloomy
clouds hanging over the thou
sands of investors who sank
millions of dollars into Samuel
Insults most ambitious project.
"There will be no bankrupt
cies."
This was the cheering word
given out by Edward N. Hurley
and Charles A. McCulloch, the re-
ceivers who yesterday filed in
Federal court the first auditors
statement on the condition of the
huge utilities system whose opera
tions extend over 80 States.
Brother CO-Signer
The outstanding revelation
brought to light in the auditors
report was that Martin j. insult,
brother of the deposed power
king" and formerly president Of
the Middle West. was co,signer Of
notes on which Marshall E. Samp-
sell posted collateral consisting Of
$4OO, 900 worth Of stock in the Cen
tral Illinois Public Service Com
pany.
Sampsell, formerly president Of
the Central Illinois Public Service,
had taken this stock out of the
company's treasury, replacing 1t
with trust receipts. For this rea-
son, Hurley and McCulloch ex-
planned in a supplementary state
ment, SampSell's resignation was
demanded and obtained.
File Claims for Losses
Another significant disclosure
in the receivers report was that
claims for the loss incurred
through the Sampsell stock Dor,
rowing transactions have been
filed by Hurley and McCulloch
with the New Amsterdam Casualty
and Lloyds, of London.
Besides the 1000 shares of pre-
ferred Central Illinois Public Ser
vice, 5000 shares of common
stock of the Central and South
west Utilities Company were
taken from the treasury of its
parent concern, the Middle West,
for SampSell'S use.
Filing of the receivers claims
with the indemnity companies
was believed to foreshadow en-
largement of the scope Of the
investigation into possible crimi-
nal culpability in connection with
the collapse of the vast insult
utility kingdom. The bonding
companies, it was said, may
launch independent Investigations
of individual responsibilities for
the losses, as is their custom.

/ Somerville squared the match
at the eighth, which he won with
a birdie against Goodman's 4.
Johnny hit a good tee shot
down the center while Somerville
pulled his to the rough. He re-
piled magnificently from a tough
lie, getting a great iron home 20
feet from the pin. Goodman also
caught the green with his ap-
proach, 20 feet from the hole,
Whereupon the Canadian blithely
sank his 20footer for a winning
3, Johnny missing his by inches.
Then both got brilliant brides
to halve the short ninth and turn
for home, all square.

pushed well to the right of the
green, but Ross, who had been
none too lucky SO far, got big
break here. The ball hit the bank
of a trap, rebounding to the
green. Johnny'S iron from the
tee hit the green and dug in, 20
feet from the flag. Somerville's
next move was to sink his 30
footer for 2, the crowd going
daffy. But Johns rejoinder was
to hole his 20-footer, the crowd
going daffier. Each hit the turn
in par 35.
The gallery was pretty much
out of hand by this time and it
was necessary to furnish each con-
testant with a bodyguard of two
State. police to force a path
through the throng.
Goodman Now Up
Goodman went l up by winning
the tenth with a birdie 8, Somer-
vile having a 4.
Ross hit a great drive 800 yards
down the wind here and banged

for win.

seven holes was four under AS,
Somerville being two under As for
the last five holes.
Goodman went 2 up by win
ming the eleventh with 4
against a S, Somerville three

down the center. The American
used spoon for his second and
it finished just short of the
green. Ross then cracked a
No. 3 home. Goodman Clipped
three feet from the pin for a 4,
while Somerville was short with
his run-up putt and missed the
next.

at the twelfth and placed his
second shot on the green and to
the right. Ross sliced off the
tee, barely missing the water
hazard, the ball landing in the
rough. He played a fine out to
the green, laying Goodman a
half Stymie. Johnny had to play
chip shot over the ball for his
third, stopping eight feet from
the pin, while Ross approach
putted for a 4. Then Goodman
missed his eight-footer and took

Copyright. 1892. by International
News Service)
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Gov-
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt will
soon make public his attitude on
the World War veterans bonus
issue, International News Service
learned today.
Governor Roosevelt probably
will give his views in a speech
to be delivered in the East upon
his return from his Western cam
paign tour.
In any event. it was pointed
out, he will speak his mind
clearly on the question before
election day.
Those close to the Democratic
Presidential candidate insisted
that the governor had no inten-
ton of evading any of the issues
which might develop during the
campaign.
There was no indication as to
what tack Governor Roosevelt
might take when he presented his
views on the bonus.

Goodman was short by inches
from 20 feet and laid the Ca
madam a Stymite. He tried to
get around the others bail but
failed, taking a losing 5.
Somerville tool over the lead
again at the third, which he won
with a par to a 5.
Here johnny drove into a trap,
h. wing hooked his ball badly. His
recovery was only fair, the ball
stopping so yards down the fair
way. Meantime, SomerVille hit
one 23O yards off the tee, right
down the middle, and his second
caught the right-hand edge of the
green.
Johnny's reply was to pitch
home, 2C feet from the pin,
whereupon Somerville Clipped 4
feet away. Goodman tried hard
to get down his long putt, but
the ball didn't quite get up. Then
Somerville holed a four-footer.
HaIve the Fourth
They halved the fourth in buzz
zard As.
Here, Somerville missed his
iron shot from the tee and the
ball pumped into trap at the
edge of the green. Johnny then
hit one home, after which the
Canadian blasted out of the sand
to the green, the ball rolling to
the far edge. Then he Clipped
dead for 4. Goodman, putting
from 20 feet, was well over with
his approach putt, which ran 2
feet past the pin. Then Johnny
missed the wee putt and had to
take a half.
They halved the fifth in par
as, Somerville still being up.
Goodman's tee shot at the fifth
was short, whereas Somerville'S
was we'll out in front. Johnny'S
approach rolled over the back
edge of the green to the short
rough. Somerville pitched a
mashie niblick home, 20 feet
from the pin, Goodman's reply
being a nice chip shot two feet
away for a half in As.
Goodman then squared the
match by winning the sixth with
a birdie 4 against Somerville'S 5.
Hits Spectator
Ross sliced badly off the tee,
while Goodman's drive split the
fairway just short of the turn of
the dog-leg. The gallery kept
Somerville'S drive on the fairway,
for it rebounded from a spectator
and kept out of the rough. He
then played a magnificent brassie
but the ball rolled on into the
rough. Johnny's reply was a
brassie around the elbow of the
woods to a spot IS yards short
of the green. He pitched home
with his third, 20 feet from the
pin, while Somerville's was pushed
to the right and into a trap.
Then he exploded home to watch
Goodman hole his 20-footer for a
winning birdie.
Somerville also lost the seventh
with a against Goodman'S
birdie 3.
Here SoIherville sliced his tee
shot just short of the rough,
Goodman pulling his to the
right. Johnny was strong with
his second. The Canadian re-
piled with a nice iron 20 feet
back of the pin, but it was alb
Solutely no use because Johnny
holed his chip shot for a ire
mendous 3, the gallery going
into Mysteries.

SomerDille Up on Goodman at 18th,
In Exciting, See Saw Match

Here Ross hit a nice tee shot
to the green, while Johnny'S was
trapped. Then he exploded out
magnificently to within three
feet of the pin. Somerville was
at the back of the green and
faced a long downhill approach
putt, which he negotiated per
fectly. Then Johnny missed his
three-footer to lose the hole, the
match becoming all square.
Halve the 14th
They halved the long four
teenth in par IS, the match re-
naming all square. Goodman
had a great chance here but
again missed a short putt.
Somerville pulled his drive to
the rough and his second faded
to the right. Johnny'S tee shot
split the fairway, and he played
a brassie second from the hollow
to a spot just short of the green.
Then Ross pitched home, 20 feet
from the pin, Johnny chipping
five feet away. The Canadian
failed to get down his long putt
and Goodman faced a fine oppor-
tunity to hole out and take the
lead. But his putt trimmed the
cup and stayed out.
SOmerville l Up Again
Somerville then won the fiji
teenth with par against a 5
to become l up again.
Goodman again had a fairly
short putt here for a half, but
missed it.
Johnny was straight down the
middle off the tee but his second
shot faded to the right, landing
on the bank at the side of the
green. Ross pushed his drive to
the rough and his recovery also
faded, winding up in trap.
Johnny then Clipped up feet
away, while Somerville exploded
beautifully feet from the pin.
The American tried hard to get
his putt down but it wouldn't
respond. But Somerville neatly
holed his siX-footer and took the
hole.
Johnny Wins Sixteenth
At the sixteenth, Goodman
squared the match again with a
4 against Somerville's 5.
Both hit sound drives, Somer.
vile being slightly ahead at 245
yards. Johnny, however, got his
second home, 25 feet to the right
of the pin. while Ross stopped
20 feet short of the green. The
Canadian then Clipped we'll up to
the flag, while Johnny barely
missing with his 25:footer, left
Somerville the third Stymie of the
round. Ross tried to get by but
hit Goodman'S ball and took a
losing S.
They got par 3's at the seven
teenth to remain all even. Good
man got home from the tee, Is
feet from the pin. Somerville
did even better, landing IL feet
away. Then they played nice
run UP puts for a half.
Playing the eighteenth, Good
man spanked a long, straight one
off the tee, while the Canadians s
tee shot faded to the right.
He hit his usual good iron to
the green, however, well back
toward the far edge. Johnny
then pulled his mashie approach
to a trap and exploded out for
his third. Upon which Somer,
vile ran down a great putt of
so feet to take the hole with
a birdie and the lead at the
halfway point.
