New Yorker Triumphant ‘Where All Americans Failed Before. By the Associated Press. MUIRFIELD, Scotland, May 29.— Jess Sweetser of New Yotk today was crowned king of amateur golfdom in the British Isles. He won the amateur championship easily, 6 up and 5 to play, in the 36- hole final, from Alexander Simpson, his young Scottish competitor. Thus, for the first time in history, a native born and bred American becomes the holder of Great Britain's mast prized golfing trophy. Walter Travis, an American by adoption, won the British amateur title for the United States in 1901. Travis was born in Australia. For a time during the morning round, it looked as if Sweetser might have a real fight on his hands and pos- sibly fail to grasp the coveted honor. ‘When he emerged 4 up from the morning round. however, it was ap- parent that he had taken the measure of his opponent. who was playing in his first international tournament.

The crack came at the 27th hole, when he did about everything a golfer should not do, scoring a bad 7. Mean- while, the former Yale star, keeping his head, went along the even tenor of his golfing way and played at his best.

By the Associated Press. MUSKEGON, Mich,, May 29.— Prosecutor R. G. Dunn of Muskegon County today pieced together the cir- cumstantial evidence on which he said will be based the case against Asa K. Bartleit, 28-year-old Blue Lake township constable, who is held in connection with the bomb outrage Thursday that killed three persons at Three Lakes Tavern, a resort. No warrant has been issued, but the prosecutor said a charge of send- ing a bomb through the mail probably would be made against Bartlett today. The three bomb victims, August Kru- baech, his daughter and her fiance, ‘Willlam Frank, will be buried tomor- row, a public funeral being planned, to be held from the Elks’ Temple here.

The storm was settled when Mr. Dyer permitted Mr. Blanton to ask Miss Corbett if she were insane dur- ing her period of incarceration at the hospital. The witness replied she was not, and, furthermore, took care of her mother. Miss Corbett testified that without warning, in 1904, a patrol wagon stopped at her house and she and her mother were taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital. By court process they were adjudged insane and Mr. Fenning as appointed guardian for the other. During their stay at the hos- pital, she declared, the household fects of the two were sold by Mr. Fen- ning for a sum approximating $500, far below the material and intrinsic value of the property, she declared. Later, on writ of habeas corpus, the two were released, and Miss Corbett won a suit against Mr. Fenning Cor his action in selling property belong- ing to her, she declared. The original petitioner in the lunacy case was Dr. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, but the actual record of the proceedings showed the District Com- missioners instituted them. Says Mother’s Life Shortened. Miss Corbett also testified she brought suit against Dr. Hamlin, but he died in New York City before the matter could be considered in court. Mr. Hogan asked only two ques- tions on cross-examination. The first concerned the date of Miss Corbett's father's death, which she could not recall, and the age of her mother at her_death, which she gave as 81 years. The mother died in 1924. Mr. Blanton, on direct examination, had asked the witness what effect the in- carceration in the hospital had on Mrs. Corbett, and the daughter re- plied, “It shortened her life."” Answer Medical Charges.

GOULD LINCOLN. | Staff Correspondent of The Star. 1 DES MOINES, lowa, May 20.— Having one Democrat safely tucked | away in the Senate, Jowa Democrats | make no bones ahout their satisfac- tion over the Republican senatorial fight here. They are waiting with| eagerness to become the heirs.of the | anti-Cummins or the anti-Brookhart sentiment among the Republicans. Their leaders frankly believe that they have a good chance to pick up another senatorship, no matter which way the Republican primary goes. Some of them say they could more easily elect a Democrat over Senator Cummins than they could over Col. Brookhart, on the theory “that the feeling against him is stronger than against Brookhart. Furthermore, with Brookhart nomi- nated and a Democrat already in the Senate, these Democrats believe that some of the regular Republicans would say, “What's the use; we might | just as well have Brookhart in the Senate as a second Democrat.” and | they would not duplicate their 1934 | support of a Democratic nominee. The Republicans—all factions—do not take much stock in these Demo- cratic predictions of success. They point to the fact that Iowa is over- whelmingly Republican, and it would scarcely give up both United States Senators to the Democrats, no matter how severe their factional differences. might happen once, through the sup- port of disgruntled Republicans. It is not likely to happen a second time within two years, they say. Four Democratic Candidates. Because the Democrats believe that the senatorial nomination is really worth something this year, there is an active contest for the place on the ticket next November. The contest lacks the bitterness in the Republican race, but it has its points. There are | four candidates for the Democratic nomination; Claude R. Porter, Des Moines; J. Ray Files, Fort' Dodge; James Murtaugh, Waterloo, and George Finch, Sioux City. Mr. Porter, who is one of the most widely known and populdr Democrats in the State, has the support of Clyde L. Herring, Democratic national com- | mitteeman, and E. T. Meredith, Sec- | retary of Agriculture in the Wilson administration.

Resolution Covers Training ‘in Schools—Dry Law Up- held by Full Vote. Leaving behind discussion of mod- errism and fundamentalism as a set- tled question, the General Convention of the Northern Baptist Church today definitely placed itself on record as opposed to compulsory military train- ing in colleges and high schools, as fostering removal of handicaps caused by child labor, opposing any treaty with Turkey which does not guarantee security of Christian womanhood, and calling for whole-hearted law enforce- ment, particularly of the eighteenth amendment. The report of the resolution com- mittee, of which Rev. Samuel Judson | Porter of Washington was chairman, | in which these declarations were made, was adopted with virtually no dissenting voice. The convention de- cided that the next conference of the church will be held at Chicago. The resolution regarding compul- sory military training reads: Peace by Law and Reason. “‘Resolved, That we once more ex- press our conviction that war is con- trary to the spirit and teachings of Jesus; that we are opposed to war as a method of settlement of interna- tional disputes, and that we declare our frrevocable determination to sub- stitute the arbitrament of law, reason and conciliation for that of slaughter; and that we rejoice in every effort | put forth in the interests of a just peace; that we urge all men to ally themselves with efforts for the peace- able settlement of all international disputes; and that we look with dis- favor upon compulsory military train- ing in colleges and high schools.” The resolution regarding the Turkish treaty reads: “Resolved, That we urge that no treaty be -concluded with Turkey which does not guaranty full religious liberty and freedom from persecution and make the necessary reparations in property. including the specific pro- vision for the release and restoration of its Christian womanhood, now de- fenseless against atrocity and in need of the charity of the world.” . Enforcement of Dry Law. Regarding the eighteenth amend- ment, the convention demanded “‘in no undertain way’ that all public officials, especially those in Congress, use their powers in the enforcement of the law. The convention also de- cided to ‘“use the privilege of the ballot” in the interest of ‘“‘entirely uprooting liquor traffic throughout the world.” Another resolution calls for the appointment of a committee of the Northern Baptist Convention to en- hance co-operation with the South- ern Baptist Convention. The last deliberative sessions of this_convention were presided over by Edward H. Rhoades, jr. who is to be succeeded as president by Rev. Dr. James Whitcomb Brougher, who yesterday was elected to that office. Wheeler Asks Church Aid. ‘Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, principal speaker before the convention today, during consideration of the prohibition question, held that “‘prohibition is based on the moral and religious convictions of the American people,” and urged that the churches emphasize the rightness of prohibition. rather than heed “the loose talk about the alleged failure of enforcement.” He took oc- casion to assail the governors of New York and Maryland and proponents of a referendum on the issue. ‘‘Congress does not need to ask a referendum vote on prohibition to dis- cover that the majority,of the Amer- ican people favor this best possible method of dealing with the organized liquor evil.” he said. “The Constitu- (Continued on P-n__z.

White Lilies at Altar. White lilles formed the theme of decoration throughout the entire scheme, and where only a simple decoration on the altar is permissible in the chapel stood tall vases of the flowers, groups of the blossoms being arranged with palms and Australian ferns at the chancel rail and else- where in the chapel. The bride’s gown, although of al- most priceless worth, was exceedingly simple, being made princess fashion of point d'angleterre lace in exquisite design over cream white satin. Three tiers of the lace formed the skirt and the long lines of the bodice showed a slightly bateau shape neckline and long closely fitted sleeves. She wore a string of pearls. The court train of point d’angleterre lace was bordered on both sides and across the hem liné.with a broad band of satin like that used in the gown, the entire train being lined with chiffon. The voluminous tulle veil was worn simply arranged across the brow with a band of the lace |like the gown reaching just to the | eal where it was held with little clusters of orange blossoms, a cluster also holding the fullness at the back. The bouquet of lilies of the valley and orchids was longer in shape than those most in vogue and was tied with broad white satin ribbon in ex- actly the same tone as the satin used in the gown.
