g i St vivers of the 133 who opened the metropelitan amateur golf cham- plonship yesterday move into the first round of match play today. Only Eddie Driggs among the leading lights is absent and he de- cided not to start, Eddie Held, the former St. Lovis golfer who first broke into the limelight by winning the mational public links title, swept on from a course record of 69 for the first half of the quali- fying test yesterday to a five stroke margin of leadership at the finish. A 74 In the afternoon gave him 143 r the 36 holes while his nearest acores of 148. Paul Havi- . H. Tatt, former cap- and Dartmouth teams, mark. George Voight, 14 hed and ot at thi scratch man on the metropoli- bandicap list, finished well up h 150 while the defending cham- plon, FEugene Homans of Engle- wood, was the highest acorer of the leaders with 155. Homans, however, has the pros- pect of the best opposition today of any of the bearers of big names. In the first round he meets Ken Smith, husky ex-football player from Princeton, who had one of Yesterday's best single rounds, 72, and tetalled 153 for the 36 holes. Anether close match is in prospect between Haviland and Johnny Jones, another former Princeton man. The medalist, Held, has drawn Charles F. Sheldon of Siwanoy as today's opponent while Voight meets Albert Lefevre of S8hore Ha- ven. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By _the Asseciated Prese. Providence, R.

Holst of 345 Arch Street and Tony Urbanowics of 201 North strett were driving autome- biles through North street between Osk and Willow streets about 10:10 o'clock last night, the former going oast and the latter west. There were twe parked cars which they had to pass and when opposite each other, the deor in Urbanowics's car sprung open and was struck and knocked off by Helst's car. The glass in the door was smashed. Supernumerary Officer Thomas Sanders Investigated and found no cause for police action.

M. latter At the right is Miss Hillman, in the investigation ordered by Supreme Justice Beod ine, of Trenton, N. J. New York, June 13.—Suicide—or murder? In a welter of conflicting evi- dence, puzzling testimony any seeni- ingly irreconcilable facts, three of the most baffling recent mysteries— involving the shooting of four per- sons—remain unsolved. Within a few weeks three young men and one young woman, all members of prominent and well-to- do families, have been killed, and elements of striking similarity run through each case. Under storms of public criticiam, further probes have tended to disprove the original ver- dicts ot suicide. First came the death of Walter Huntington, of Windsor, Conn., son of a wealthy family and a student at Harvard university. During a week-end visit to his home, his boly was found, neatly laid out in a field a few miles away. Authorities first called it suicide, Discrepancies Appoar Huntington was right-handed. le had Leen shot behind the left ear. The gun never was found, but blondy handkerchiefs were in his pockeis. Could he have fired the shot, staunched the wound and composed his hands for death? Some experis sald he could not, but police have not solved the mystery, which theory the slain youth's family preferred to accept, Several murder motives still are being traced. & ‘Was it murder or suicide in the double killing of Horaee Raperts, Jr., and Ruth Wilson.0of Mooresbown, N. J., early this month? At first it seemed obvious that Roberts hud killed Miss Wilson and then shot himeelf. The fathers of both the slain supported this view. But now a state investigation looms, despite the ‘report “of Dr. Rogers, medi=al examiner, that all three of the wounds on the right side of Roberta’ head could have been self inflicted. A Coafiict of Stories Roberts and Miss Wilson were found in her bedroom by her father when he returned from a bridge party. 8he was dead, and he was dying from bullet wounds, At first it was said they were fully dressed. Later it was admitted that they were unclothed. Originally it had be:n suid that the father, unable to op=n the «front aocor. had climbed to a porch roof, looking into his daugh- ter's room and then return to the front door,. which he forced. The new version is that he opened a LU DO ET T T T ) Needed at This Time of Year {door with a key, but stepped out on the roof of the porch and entered his daughter's room through the window. State authorities say it was un- likely that Roberts fired the three shots into his own head after slay- ing the girl—two shots, yes but the third, which was the fatal shot, would have been impossible, " Roberts was the son of a weaithy South Jersey land owner, und is re. ported to have threatened to shoot Miss Wilson if she broke their en- gagement, and that at one time she induced him to let her keep the gun to prevent much threats. Student’s Death Baffling Was it murder or suicide in {he case of W. Rramwell Linn, son of Judge Williain B. Linn of the Penn- sylvania supreme court? The youth was found dead in his apartment on the eve of his graduation from Hav- erford college, where he was an honor student. He had been killed by a bullet the back of his head. There were no powder burns on the body. At first it was announced that the gun was found iu another corner of the room, Later it was revealed that the gun was not even found in the from a .22 caliber rifle, fired through | room when police arrived. A note found in the room fa. dicated suicide, but the murder theory persists. There were brulses on the body, and much valuable evidence had been removed or de- stroyed. At a pre-graduation party the night before, Linn and four ether students were alleged to have been drinking. Later, ore of the mem. bers of the party rished downstairs from Linn's room shouting. “Come, look at Linn!" In his hand he car- ried the rifle from which the fatal shot was fired Murder is Indicated Judge Lirn never has been satis- fled with the suicide verdict, and of- ficials in charge of the case admit that new and unrevealed evidence now points to murder. Commenting on the three mys. teries, a high police official in New York deprecated the charges of of- ficial negligence and deliberate “whitewashing” that have been made in connection with the cases. “Suicides are so frequant among the poor and jobless,” declared, “that they very often don't even got into th: papers.

Chenot after one of the slain youth's companions on the night of the shooting admitted that they had been attempting to run 35 cases of liquor across the river and had failed to halt when ordered to do so by the agent. ‘The story published by the Detroit Free Preas today to the effect that a big combine of Great Lakes rum runners had been formed to thwart the government's anti-smuggling ef- forts between Buffalo and Mackinaw INSURE AGAINST SKIN TROUBLES by deily wes of Cuticura Soap STED BY Cutlcu__l;a Ointment Boop 33c.
