Mrs. Betty Palmer Meckley, In
dian Spring, is determined to go
places in the 1885 national women
championships, if her IS. scored
yesterday at Indian Spring, can
be taken as an indication of her
intentions.
1t was Mrs. Meckley's lowest
round of the year, going out in
40 and returning in 38, leaving
her but seven strokes over mems
par. She played from the mems
tees and holed all puts. The
former women's District champion
was particularly brilliant on the
greens, having several one-putt
green's to her credit. Playing with
Mrs. Meckley were two juvenile
stars of the Indian Spring Club,
Bob Pettingill. II, and Jack Rob-
inson. IS.
The 78 is not the lowest round
ever recorded by Mrs. Meckley.
She carded a IT several years ago.
However, she was elated with yes
terday's IS, furnishing her with re.
newed confidence for the national
championships.
Up until recently Mrs. Meckley
has been troubled with her drives
but this defect in her game was

CRISIS
NEARS CLIMAX
Administration Battles to
Overturn Limitation
Clause.
By United Press

By LNite0 PfFSS
WASHINGTON. April 1.-The ma
tional relief crisis, aggravated by
weeks of bitter congressional dead
lock. neared a climax this afternoon.
Administration leaders, on direct
orders from President Roosevelt,
battled in House and Senate to
overturn a laSt-minute conference
change in the 81, 880, 900 900 work re-
lief measure.
A picket line suddenly appeared
at the White House made up OF an
Ohio unemployed group which pro-
tested that contemplated payments
from the huge relief fund would be
inadequate.
Meantime, the Federal relief tills
we're virtually empty. Funds for
only two days remained and the
new relief tie-up in Congress indi-
Gated that no new money would be
forthcoming until every cent Of the
present fund has been spent.
The relief crisis was brought on
by the bitter fight over a limitation
inserted in the omnibus measure
during conference between Senate
and House requiring that n dollar
out of every three going for public
works be paid out in wages.
Majority Leader Joseph T. Robin
son charged in the Senate that the
section was inserted apparently in
violation of the rules of the Sem
ate"

Otto Ray said no such thing would
happen.
The Times was not shopping to
discover these things, and they
were not learned by hearsay. 1t is
not necessary to mention time and
address because the police records
themselves indicate that the law was
violated.
For instance, John Montgomery,
Clayton, Ind, was arrested yester-
day for running his car into a
parked car at 1918 w. Washing
ton-st. He admitted he was drunk
and told police he had bought the
beers over a bar at $50 w. Wash
ington-st, and he didn't have to give
a pass word to get in, either. Other
people were drinking there, too, he
said.
A drug store attendant was ar
rested for selling four bottles of
beer to go out. Lieut.. Thomas Nc
Cormick Of the vice squad arrested
Forest White, 30, of 1895 Shelf
feld-st, for possessing a pint Of corn
whisky.
He said he had bought the pint
from Herschel T. Aubrey at 2121 w.
Morris-st. Aubrey also vas ar
rested.
AS for horse race betting, which
Chief Morrissey put a lid on a week
ago, rumors are persistent that GER
tain spots have stayed open in vio-
lation Of the order and have not
been molested.
That, to date, is the status Of two
noble experiments. ~

SPIRIT OF WAR
IS CONDEMNED
BY POPE Plus
Holy Father ExhortS World
Statesmen to Toll
for Peace.
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press staff Correspondent

Copyright. 1885. by United Press
VATICAN CITY, April Pope
Plus today condemned the war
like spirit of the present day and
exhorted statesmen of the world
to promote peace.
The occasion was a secret consis-
tory of the College of Cardinals,
which at the pope's request, ap-
proved the canonization of John
Fisher and Thomas More, whom
Henry VIII beheaded in 1886 be-
cause they would not bow to his
authority as against that of the
papacy.
Nineteen cardinals attended In
the co0sistorial hall.
Reports of war, universally
spread, arouse in every n the
greatest fear" the holy father said.
War Horrible Crime"
Meanwhile, we believe it oppor-
tune to take this way as the apos-
tolic Office intrusted to us seems
to require. We consider it would be
a horrible crime, a foolish manifes-
tation of wrath, if peoples again
took arms one against the other to
spill blood, brothers against BROTH
ers, so that destruction and ruin
would be sown from the skies, on
land and at sea-"
Now we consider this absolutely
impossible according to the juridical
maxim:
"'Things which are against the
right can neither come to pass nor
be believed
1--WE can not convince ourselves
that those to whose hearts the pros
perity and welfare of peoples must
be close can desire to excite souls
to slaughter, ruin and devastation
not only their own nations, but a
great part of humanity"
"Confound Those Peoples"
eff anybody should commit this
nefarious crime-and may the AL
mighty put far from us this sad
forecast which we on part be-
lieve will not come to pass-then
we can not help but appeal again
to Almighty God with this prayer
from saddened souls:
"fConfound those peoples who de-
sire war
Let this be said because of the
impossibility of any new war what
Soever.
The physical and material i'm
possibility of war in these actual
grave circumstances appears mani
fest to us, as to many others.
In this present situation, in the
anguish and sadness of these times
which cause us to fear a future still
sadder, let us place u faith in
God to guide those whose hands
hold the destiny of government and
peoples"
