COURSES SELECTED
FOR GOLF MATCHES
OF 1925 IN BRITAIN
WESTWARD HO! GETS AMATEUR
PENNANT, WHILE PROS
PLAY AT PRESTWICK
LONDON, Jan. 5.—Westward Ho!
and Prestwick golf courses have been
selected as thecourses over which the
English amateur and open champion
ships respectively will be played in
1925.
In making this announcement the
championships committee states that
the amateur will take place during
the week commencing May 25, and
the open during the week commenc
ing June 22.
Westward Ho! over which the ama
teur championships will be played,
is a seaside course situated near
Plymouth, Devonshire. Th^ course
is one of the earliest English courses
and some very notable players have
been produced upon it, among whom
are “Josh” Taylor, veteran English
professional, and Michael Scott, a
leading English amateur.
It is a mixture of good turf and
sand hills, and the best holes are
said to be among the sand hills.
Prestwick, where the open cham
pionship will be fought out, is per
haps the finest course in Scotland.
It is regarded by many great expon
ents of the game to be the finest
test of golf to be found anywhere
in the world.
The course is laid out among big
sand hills and bunkers and other
punishing places are set very in
triguingly, giving the player no
chance of running his ball half the
distance to the hole along the
ground.
Steady golf is the only thing that
will win through at Prestwick, and
the scrambling player will be hope
lessly out of the element.

PROHIBITION
I AGENT SQUARE
I WITH SUPERIOR
—
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 5.—Recom
mendation that George L. Cleaver,
station prohibition commissioner, be
prosecuted for violating the federal
statutes and treaties in raiding the
British vessel London Merchant re
cently, will be made in a report to
be filed with the United States treas
; ury department by Dr. E. C. Mcar
land, collector of customs, the col
; lector said last night.
United States Attorney Coke is
i disposed to ask the attorney gen
| eral to dismiss the charges against
| Cleaver, filed by Chief Assistant By
| non, with Judge Coke’s approval.
The two reports of ' the incident
| and divergent recommendations will
| go to Washington early next week,
! it is expected.
The federal attorney agreed to
I make his recommendation for dis
missal at a conference at which
Sleaver promised to return the
liquors seized and to submit a let
ter of apology to owners and the
captain of the vessel raided.
Cleaver carried out his promises.
The liquor was returned last night.
1 Careful check of it was made today
by customs officials. “We found all
the liquor had been taken back,” Col
lector McFarland said. “We found al
so that Cleaver returned one more
| case of liquor than he took away
so the chip’s officers will probably
make no complaint on that score.”

PROHIBITION CONDITIONS
ARE PICTURED IN REPORT
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 3.—Pro
hibition conditions present and pros
pective were pictured to the house
yesterday in the report of the appro
priations sub-committee which drafted
the annual supply bill for the treas
ury departments.
The hearing of records which was
conducted in executive session, dis
closed that Rear-Admiral F. C. Bill
ard, commandant of the coast guard,
told the sub-committee his anti-rum
running fleet would be in full opera
tion by July 1, next, and that “there
has been little if any reduction in
the amount of liquor smuggled by
sea “since he appeared before a House
committee early in the year.”
Frederick H. Beasley of Toronto,
was a noted strong man, who had
sustained the weight of twenty men
at one time. He also wrote a book,
“Why Athletes Die Young.” Con
firming his theory, he died the other
day at the age of 28. Whether his
death was due to overstrain or not,
the news dispatch did not say, but it
is a fact that excessive training and
undue demands on the physical pow
ers of premature breakdown and
death. Moderation in all things pays
in the long run.
Twenty-three denominations com
posing the People’s Church of East
Lansing, Mich., are building a new
place of worship to cost §350,000.
The congregation is composed of
Protestants, Catholics, Jews and many
who have no definite creed and was
organized in 1907 by two college pro
fessors, in a one-room school house.
What a fine example of tolerance and
brotherhood!
Giacomo Puccini, the eminent Ital
ian composer, who died the other
day, was more than an Italian and
more than a composer. He was a bril
liant and cultured man of the world,
as highly esteemed for his sterling

t
character as for his consummate art.
Two of his operas, especially, “Ma
damem Butterfly” of Japanese setting
and “The Girl of the Golden West,”
on a distinctively American theme,
illustrate his fidelity to detail and na
tional characteristics. The whole civ
ilized world mourns an artist and a
man.
Vivisection may be justifiable in aid
of science in its efforts to preserve
human life, but the burning alive of
two guinea 'pigs merely to find out
whether a woman, already dead, en
tered a furnace alive or not seems
unnecessarily cruel. The experiment
proved nothing that was not already
evident to anyone with a spoonful of
brains.
Jay-walking is almost as much to
blame as reckless driving, as a cause
of fatal accidents, according to re
ports made to the national highway
conference, which show that 32 per
cent of such accidents are due to
reckless driving and 29 per cent to
stupidity of persons on foot. The rest
are dvle to a variety of causes not
classified. If the present appalling
loss of life is to be reduced, every
person who uses streets and highways
in any manner must be more careful.
Mrs. Aileen Creech, wife of a con
vict in Kilby Prison, Alabama, died
the other day of typhoid fever, after
a short life which contained more
than it share o$ sorrow. But her sad,
though beautiful features will live in
a painting of the Madonna, for which
she sat as the model, by the artist
Max Sasanoff, himself a former con
vict, whose painting of Christ secur
ed his release from the Atlanta fed
eral penitentiary. . The Madonna will
hang in Kilby Prison for the inspira
tion of those who come and go—the
ir
idealized picture of a convict’s wife,
painted by a former convict, for pres
ent and future convicts. It will thus
be, perhaps, entirely unique in the
history of art.
