Why one man throwing foot

by Same Score.

Defending Champion Charles Il.
Yates of Georgia Tech finished down
to Ed White of Texas University at
the halfway mark today in the &C.
hole semi-final match for the inter-
collegiate golf championship at the
Congressional Country Club. Freddie
Haas of Louisiana State was l up on
John Fischer of Michigan State at
the thirteenth hole in the other semi
final contest.
Yates and White both bagged brides
on the eighteenth hole to halve.
White finished with medal score of
72, level par, while Yates was stroke
higher White went into the lead with
birdie 3 on the ninth after they
finished the first nine all square, and
Yates squared the contest with par
at the 225-yard fourteenth.
They split the fifteenth in SIS.
White went into the lead on the six
teenth with a 12-foot putt for a 8.
while Yates missed one half that
length for a half.
Yates Blows Short Putt.
Yates blew a 3-footer to win the
seventeenth, after both were trapped
on their second shots, enabling
White to negotiate q partial stymie
for a half. Yates holed a 20-foot
putt for bird 3 on the eighteenth
after driving onto the tenth tee, and
White holed an 8-footer for the half.
They went to lunch with White l up.
Fischer dropped the tenth and
eleventh holes in row to Haas, after
they had finished the first nine
square.
An Even on First Nine.
Yates and White finished the first
nine holes all even, with White out in
So with the aid Of conceded eagle
on the eighth and Yates out IN even
par 81.
Fischer and Haas likewise were all
square at the ninth hole, with both
out in SO, one above par. Fischer's
putter was working badly. He 3-putted
the fourth and seventh greens, and
Haas chip shot stymied him on the
ninth, when the tall Michigan boy had
a 15-footer for birdie. His putt hit
the cup but jumped out. Fischer went
into lead at the third, but Haas won
it back again at the fourth and took
lead at the seventh, only to drop
the eighth to Fischer.
Yates 3-putted the opening hole to
lose, and lest the second to a par 4
by White. But the champion came
back with birdie 3 on the fourth
and squared the match with winning
par 4 on the seventh, where White
3-putted. White came out of the
rough with great iron shot for an
eagle on the eighth to take the lead.
only to have Yates come back with a
birdie 2 on the ninth to square again.

WATERBURY, Conn. June 28.-
Relatives of Richard Murphy. 80, OF
this city, gathered at a funeral home
here yesterday to view his corpse,
shipped here from Cleveland, Ohio.
When the casket was opened there
were gasps-the body was not that OF
Richard Murphy.
Cleveland police notified the family
of Richard Murphy here that he had
been killed on a railroad and asked
about arrangements for shipping the
body East. Because Murphy was
known to be in the vicinity Of Cleve-
land the relatives believed he had
been killed and ordered the corpse
sent to a local undertaking parlor.
Local police took fingerprints Of the
corpse and Cleveland police were noti-
fed of the mistaken identity. Murphy
was scheduled to be in Chicago in a
day or two, and will receive tele-
gram when he arrives telling him Of

Utopia.

Put to the question by the Senate
Finance Committee Saturday regard
ing his $200-a-month pension plan,
DR.. Townsend, the author of that
Utopian scheme for the relief of
poverty and the circulation of money,
had some difficulty in meeting the
rather practical objections raised by
his inquisitors. With serene optimism,
however, he contended that the plan
would work, even If those who were
thus cared for at the public expense
did not work. Asked how an elderly
couple, for example, would, in meet
ing the requirements of the plan
spend $4,000 a year, he responded:
Buy a car, rebuild their home, re-
furnish it, travel, buy books, get
things for their children" That
might suffice for the first year, but
there was no suggestion of a line Of
expenditure for subsequent years.
Confronted with the arithmetical
problem of financing the plan, caring
for ten million or more aged persons
at an annual cost Of twenty-four
billions a year while two per cent
tax would raise only five billions, leav-

Brazilian Treaty Hailed

Likewise pointing out this fact, the
Saratoga Springs Saratogian suggests
that agreement upon a reciprocal
trade agreement with Brazil was COM
paratively easy, with fewer compli-
eating factors than would be involved
in negotiation Of an agreement with
almost any country in Europe"
"On its face, the treaty seems a
good bargain" says the Oklahoma
News. yet American manganese in
terestS are furious. According to the
State Department, American mines
produce about 20 per cent Of the
manganese ore used by our big steel
industry, despite a protective tariff of
more than 100 per cent, and employ
in the best times not more than 200
men. Our manganese interests say
they will have to close their mines If
this unreasonable tariff is reduced
The only answer 10 their ineffciency
is, What of it7'" The same paper,
answering this query, points to the
increase in steel production which
would follow cheaper manganese
prices. The Louisville Courier Jour-
nal takes the same position in assert
ing that 'it demonstrates that despite
the clamor of small protected inter-
estS for monopoly of their home mar
ketS, nations may strike bargain for
the mutual benefit of their people as
whole"
In the eyes of the New York Sun,
an important implication in the treaty
is that lin effect it serves notice that,
so far as this country is concerned
every possible preference will be
shown to nations which have kept
their credit good here as against
those which have not"

ing a deficit of nineteen billions, the
answer was that it would not be
possible to put ten million on the
pension plan Immediately, which was
taken as a mere postponement of the
reckoning.
All quibbling aside, however. the
plan has stupendous poSsibilities-for
the spending Of money on big scale
and for the raising of the money by
taxation. 1t is to be doubted whether
the good doctor has really worked out
the problem internationally and with
strict regard for the economic laws.
He has not taken into account the
fact that persons heretofore strait
ened in their circumstances would be
reluctant to spend all of their sti-
pend monthly, but would be prone to
try to save some of it against the
rainy day Of repeal, which would be
fairly sure to come after the enormous
burden resting upon the shoulders of
the taxpayers exerted its full weight.
He speaks Of travel. How about travel
in foreign countries, which would be
within the means OF these newly
affluent ones, with a portion of the
American dole spent abroad, with no
influence whatever upon American
industry?
However, DR.. Townsend assured the
members Of the Senate committee
yesterday that the adoption of his
plan would double or quadruple busi-
ness and that mass production" has
a tendency to lower prices, which
while somewhat of a nonseuuitur
doubtless sounds well on the public
rostrum or over the radio when there
is no one right at hand to raise a
question.

Death Penalty for Murder.
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
The Kansas House of Representa-
tives has passed, by a vote of IS to
26. measure giving juries the option
of fixing either death on the gallows
or life imprisonment as the penalty
for first-degree murder Both branches
of the Legislature passed by large ma
jorities in 1881 bill restoring capital
punishment, but it was vetoed by Gov.
Woodring.
Kansas abolished capital punish
ment in 1907, but at that time it had
been non-eXistent actually in the State
for nearly 40 years, the last execution
having taken place in 1870. The
cause Of the revulsion of feeling which
has led to second legislative attempt
to restore the once discarded capital
penalty IS no mystery. The Legis-
lature four years ago acted on the
expressed conviction that it was the
only way in which the State could
meet the challenge of murderous gang
outrageS. Since then the number Of
bank raids, kidnapings with murder
either threatened or carried out,
killings of police and prison oflcfals
by escaping desperadoes and similar
outrages have multiplied all over the
country.
Since 1918 Arizona, Oregon and
Washington State, which had abol-
ished capital punishment, have re-
stored 1t. The argument Of advocates
of its abolition that it does not act
as a deterrent Of crime runs against
the hard fact of the desperate fight
that murderers put up against inflic-
ton Of this punishment, and the
eagerness with which they accept life
Imprisonment in return for q con-
feSSion or plea Of guilty.
