Match of Collegiate
Championship.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

CONGRESSIONAL COUNTRY
CLUB, Md, June 29.-Ed White of
Texas finished the first nine holes
up on Freddie Haas of Louisiana
State today in their final match here
for the national intercollegiate golf
championship.
White again was in fine form, play
ing the opening nine In 38, one under
par. Haas scored 38, one over perfect
figures. Haas missed two short puts,
three putting the fourth hole and
blowing 4-footer on the eighth for
a half, while White missed 4-footer
for q birdie 1 to open the match on
the first hole. They halved the ninth
in buzzard Is after both found trap.
The cards, out:
Par ............. 543 Asa 453-37
White ........... 543 444 444-36
Haas ............ 543 544 454-38
Another perfect gol6ng day greeted
the finalists as they stepped out to
the first tee at 10 am to begin their
long struggle for the championship.
Both boys have mad considerable tour
nament experience, even the slender
Haas at the tage Of 10. He won the
Southern amateur championship last
year and dropped Vt last week 20 Bobby
Riegel of Richmond. White has three
times won the Southwestern Confer
ence college crown.
A possible indication OF the way TO-
days match may terminate came yes

gresSional course, playing 80 holes

A motion picture show which is
operated for T. v. A. workers at
Norris Dam was stopped the other
night when Government auditors
descended on it. They said they were
from McCarls Office. They sent
checkers through the audience while
they went through the cash register
Just as they suspected, they found
there were four more persons in the
audience than dimes in the cash
register. This will undoubtedly prove
a graft feature in the current audit
ing feud between McCarl and T. v. A.
The official T. v. A. explanation
is that the four free admissions were
given to ushers in return for services
rendered, but McCarl does not know
that yet.

FLOODS IN JAPAN
COST LIVES OF g.
Many Missing and Injured

Industrial Area.
By the Associated Press.


TOXIC, June 29.-The worst rain
storms and floods in half a century
deluged the populous and thriving
Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe Districts to-
day, the second time in less than 10
months that the industrial heart Of
the Japanese empire has been para
lyzed by a natural calamity.
Sixty-two persons thus far were
known definitely to have perished,
but many were still missing and
scores were injured.
Thousands were driven from their
homes and fragmentary survey OF
the affected area indicated that at
least 10000 houses and buildings
we're inundated. Damage was esti-
mated at more than 100000 yen
(about 2,sooooo).
Flood Hits Typhoon Area
The floods also swept over North
ern Kyushu and Shikoku Projects
and Western Hondo, the same regions
scourged by a disastrous typnoon
September %. 1884.
Crews of go fishing boats were
missing off Keishohokudo, Province
of Korea. Rescue vessels set out to
search for them.
Floods also swept Southeastern
Korea following torrential rains Fri
day.
Communications were disrupted
and railways were washed away IN
MANY sections. Serious damage to
crops was feared.
The Prefectures Of Fukuoka, Naga-
saki and Yamaguchi bore the brunt
of the floods, where damage was IN
creased by heavy winds.
Kyoto Suffers Worst.
Kyoto, lying in a valley encircled
by mountains, suffered the worst.
Rivers, a picturesque feature OF the
ancient capital of Japan, surged over
their banks and became torrents OF
destruction. They washed away 81
bridges.
The city's transit systems were dis
rupted and the waters compelleo
thousands to take refuge In Buddhist
temples crowning the hills about the
city. =,
One estimate was that 10000 dwell
ings in Kioto alone were flooded, while
Fushimi, suburb Of Kioto, had scores
of houses submerged to their caves.
Army engineers were called out ootn
in Kioto and Osaka to attempt to curb
the ravages of the food and other
troops were assigned to rescue and
police duties.
Early reports indicated the movie
center in Kioto, Japan's Hollywood,
suffered heavily. The steel center In
North Kyushu, a leading factor in
the empires booming munitions in
dustry, also suffered heavily.
Iron Works Closed Down.
The great Yawata Iron Works was
compelled to close down, with an esti-
mated loss Of half a million yen Tor
each idle day.
Water mains burst at Kobe and a
drinking water shortage was threat
ened. All schools in the stricken area
were closed.
Late today traffic was restored on
the Tokaido Railway, the empire $
main trunk line. linking Osaka and
Toxic, but suburban traffic in K1oto,
Osaka and Kobe was still disrupted.
Telegraph and telephone lines were
down over wide areas.
The storm was reported moving
northward from Osaka, but 1t was
believed Toxic would escape it. No
Americans were believed to have been
involved in the disaster.

ical condition than most Congressman
who have shared the last six harrow
ing months of conflict and bicker-
ing.
Callers have noted that he Is less
patient, more irritable, quicker, less
cautious. But that may also be said
of nearly every one else in Washing
ton now that the Midsummer heat
has set in.
Has Taken Less Rest.
1t Is true the President has taken
less rest this year. An early Spring
cruise and a few trips to Hyde Park
furnished his only substantial relax
alton. Nothing has been or can be
planned for the Summer. He wants
to 90 to the San Diego exposition by
train and return through the Panama
Canal, but cannot be away for any
thing like the Hawaiian cruise Of last
Summer. There Is too much work.
The mix-up on tax strategy is now
being advertised as a misunderstand-
ing Of orders on the part OF Mr..
Roosevelt's congressional leaders. This
explanation has caused speculation
about what happened to Mr.. Roose-
velts official haison agent (Charles
o. West), who is supposed to do MOTH
ing except keep Mr.. Roosevelt's con-
gressional leaders advised as to his
innermost thoughts.
The ansUer is that Mr.. West iCas
just Uhere he should haze been.
He uas right on the job. telling the
CongreSsmen daily phat the Presi-
dent uanted.
What seems to haze happened is
that he did not Uant the same
thing each day.
President Roosevelt is digging up
quietly a pile of data to prove his
N. r. A. contentious. One cur1o
which his archeologists have un-
earthed is a report of the industrial
commission appointed by President
Mckinley. It reported to Theodore
Roosevelt in 1902, recommending sew
eral steps along New Deal lines.
One thing 1t urged was graduated
scale tax on corporations, which is
now contained in the wealth tax pro-
gram The advisability of Federal
incorporation laws was also men
toned, and the commission referred
sharply to competition among States
to offer special privileges to corpora
tions. The argument sounds exactly
like the one Mr.. Roosevelt made at
his constitutional press conference.
The report even deplored the prac-
tice Of large stores Offering particu-
lar article at prices below cost in
order to attract customers, the floss
leader" practice which the N. r. A.
tried to stop. You will hear more
about this in coming New Deal
speeches.
Board Scans N. r. A. Reports.
President Roosevelt was reading the
papers at Hyde Park one morning on
his recent trip. On page l he saw
headlines: Industry Keeps Codes" "
On inside pages he noted specific
items about wage cuts and hour
changes. This led him to decide on
an impartial committee to check all
such reports. He wrote Chairman
O'Neill of N. r. A. to select men who
would be independent of N. R. A.
and yet above suspicion.
The result Was the appointment
of the strangest OF all New Deal
boards, the Review Board. At the
head of it is Gen. Fries, scourger
of Reds. author OF "The Spider
Web Chart" which listed many
liberals as subDerstue seueral gears

Warfare Service.

Laclede Gas Light Company,

ended December 81, 1884, net in
come of $265,728 after interest,
Federal taxes, depreciation, etc.,
equal after annual dividend re-
quirements on the per cent pre-
ferred, to $1.31 a share on the
common. This compares with
$622,812, or $4.65 a share on the
common in 1888.
Dividends from November /,
1888, to December 81, 1894.
amounting to $145,833, have not
not been declared on the 5 per
cent cumulative preferred stock.
The report states that no pro-
vision has been made for a reduc-
ton in rates for domestic and
commercial gas service against
which an injunction has been OBJ
tained. The reduction was or.
dered effective November l, 1893,
by the Public Service Commission

decrease the operating revenue

by about $4,000.
