'F|NANC|ER PRAISES
ROOSEVELT POLICY
Lamont Declares Admins.
tration Has Support of
Morgan Firm.

BY the Associated Press.
Praising President Roosevelt's with
drawal' from the gold standard,
Thomas w. Lamont, in a letter read
to the Senate yesterday, declared J.
p. Morgan & Co., Of which he Is
member, has cordially supported" the
present administration.
The letter was read by Senator
La Toilette, Republican, Of Wisconsin,
who previously had charged the Nor.
gan firm and allied interests with
seeking to destroy this administra-
ton" and seeking to prevent rat
ification" of the st. Lawrence water
way treaty. Lamont wrote the letter
to La Toilette in reply to those
charges.
La Toilette also read his reply to the
Lamont letter, in which he reiterated
his charge that the House of Morgan
is opposing the treaty. Quoting the
Presidents Inaugural day warning to
the money changers" La Toilette
said:
IF American flnanciers remain
hostile to such broad national pur-
poses, then I seriously doubt whether
they can survive as useful instru-
mentality of society when We succeed
in eradicating the greed and ignor-
ance that produced the depression" !"
Claims Record Is Proof.
La Toilette said the entire record of
proceedings before Senate committees
and the Federal Trade Commission
supports the conclusion that corpora
tions and agencies in which the inf1u-
ence of j. P. Morgan & Co., Is motor
ious have been using every resource
to block public development of St.
Lawrence power in the interest Of
lower electric rates"
He said he was not charging that
Lamont and j. P. Morgan personally
lobbied against the treaty, but as
serted their influence was exerted
through your innumerable agents"
such as H Edmund Machold, New
York State Republican leader.
Lamont said both of La Follette's
statements were absolutely without
foundation"
I'm more detail" he added, I'VE
should like to point out that not only
have we not opposed the present ad-
ministration at Washington, but from
the very start have cordially sup
ported it.
For example, Immediately upon
the administration withdrawal last
April from the gold standard, Mr..
Morgan issued a public statements
thing very rare for him to do-up-
holding the administrators declara-
ton.
Members Of this firm have since
made it clear upon many occasions
that we regarded this step as having
| been of extraordinary benefit to the
American people as q whole, who, we
believe have not always realized the
renewed or increased hardShips from
which this decision, made in the early
days of the present administration.

Charge Called Provocative.

With great respect, but very frank
ly, it is difficult for us to understand
how you could feel justified in utter
ing such a baseless charge, so need
lesSly provocative in its effect upon
the public mind.
"As to your second statement, per-
NIT us to say that in no way, shape
or manner are we seeking to prevent
ratification of this treaty. nor has
the thought ever occurred to us to
suggest or encourage opposition on
the part of others, as you intimate" J"
Lamont added that La Follette's as
sertion that j. P. Morgan & Co. con-
trolled or dominated certain public
utilities was without basis in fact"
La Toilette replied by citing what
he said was evidence of Morgan in
terests in the United Corporations
and other utility stocks.
IF the st. Lawrence treaty is de-
feated," he said. ''it will, in my opin-
ion, be largely due to the false propa-
ganda which has been directed for
nearly two years against this project,
and to the opposition fomented by
utility interests affiliated with ]. P.
Morgan & Co."

Better for Duher.

THE new ball, so the word goes,
is to be a return to the normal
skinned sphere as of 1888, which
will make a ball not quite so fast as
this years distance ball, but one con-
siderably more durable. Golf is al
ready an expensive game and when 1t
is made more expensive by playing
balls which cut even at the suspicion
Of ~ topped shot, 1t becomes quite
burden So next year the big play in
golf balls is to be the return to nor
malcy, to use a good old Republican
word. The ball will be a better ball
for Johnny Duffer. one he won't cut
so much or so quickly and one with
which he will get just about the same
distance as he gets nowadays with
the thin-skinned sphere.
The manufacturers haven't reached
the limit In distance by any means.
When they want to stretch the wind
ing on the core, thin the cover down
until it is a mere shell and generally
pep up the ball. they can do it, and
gain an extra 10 yards in distance.
But to gain the happy medium with
both durability and distance2 All,
there is the rub. They haven't done
1t with this years distance balls and
now they are planning return to a
more rational sphere. When golf gets
so that it costs a man rs cents to
half-top a shot. and he does it a
dozen times during the round, that
is making golf even a little too ex-
pensive for even a well-lined pocket
book. The return to the thicker
covered ball will be welcomed by
many thousands of players.

TOUGHER SPHERE
WILL SAVE COIN
Thick Cover Will Decrease
Distance, but Won't Be
Easy to Damage.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.


- OMETHING new in golf balls
- is coming out next year to re-
place the present thin-skinned
balls which have been at once
q Joy and a pain In the neck to golfers
this year. The new ball will be a re-
turn, in a way, to the old, fairly
thick-skinned sphere, which is not
so easy to cut as the present paper
skinned ball, and will be a better all
around ball for the average golfer to
play.
There isn't any question that the
thin-cover ball put out by at least a
half dozen makers this year has been
a distance getter. 1t goes further and
it goes faster than do the thick
skinned balls. But the rub comes
when it is topped just wee mite.
One little wallop midway Of the
sphere and it comes up with what
Oscar Keeler calls big grin" across
its shining face. A more severe top
and it comes up with a big dash,
which makes it unfit for anything but
the practice bag and not so good even
for that. 1t caused quite a splash
this year, and for the experts who
don't top EN- it still is the best ball
of all. 1t probably gets about five
yards more distance from the clubs of
the big hitters than does the ball with
a thicker cover, and it does respond
faster off all clubs. But for your
average 90-shooter it is too expensive
a proposition and I have seen pros
who used three or four q round, cut
ting 'em up in bunkers and in bad
lies.

As Mr.. Meehan Sees 1t.


THERE is something to be said for
Mr.. Mehan's theory that Man
haitian will give Michigan State
a struggle. The State team may be
headed for the Rose Bowl, but its rec
ord to date is not quite as good as 1t
looks. There was the victory over
Michigan, for instance. That looked
great until Chicago came along the
following week and did the same thing
in much more thorough style. And
State was held to low score by a
Carnegie Tech team Of no particular
ability.
There is one very 'ominous
shadow on States schedule,
more ominous than Manhattan
or Syracuse or Kansas.
State plays Detroit again this year,
and those Titans have reputation
for beating every Michigan State team
that comes along. If Mr.. Meehan
doesn't do the job, it will fall into
the eager hands Of Mr.. Gus Dorais
once more.
The Rose Bowl situation may be
cleared up by the result Of the Pitts
burgh- Minnesota game, though Mich
igan State and Princeton, II she over
comes her shyness, are also in line
for New Year day.
