Roberts Who s Blected Presidem, Allylses Numerous Re- visions in the Old Come ' "'L"- atitution. 1 NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—For the purpose vfl selecting courses for the coming ama- 'teur champlonship tournament electing of- ficers for the ensulng year and consider- ing new legisiation the delegates to the annual meeting of the United States Golf association met tonight in this city. Be- sldes the two voting delegates allowed for each of the twenty-four assoclate clubs of the association representatives from many of the 200 allled clubs were present. Pres- ident R. H. Robertson was in the chalr. Previous {6 the calling of the meeting to order the principal subject talked over By the delegates was the spirited contest Detween the eust and the west for the pos- seasion of the amateur champlonship tour- mament. The contest bas been going on for weeks and both factions were prepared tonight to urge thelr claims to the utmost. The selection of the courses over which the open and women's champlonship are to be held seemed to be of small import- ance as compared to the main amateur event, No club seemed anxious to take #ither of the, two lesser events. Eight Thousand in Treasury. The reports presented showed $8,820 In thn treasury. The oficets élected were: President, R. 'H. Robertson, St. Andrews’' Golf club; first ! vico president, D. R. Forgan; second vice president, G, Herbert Windeler; secretary, Mathurin Ballou; freasurer, 8. Y. Heeb- mer; committeemen, J. A, Stillman, New York Golt club, and Allan C. Reed, New York Golf ¢lub. President Robertson yresented a long re- port to the delégates on bebalf of the out- going ¢xecutive committee, saying it was mot @ question of doubt any longer that the assoclation has outgrown its constitu- (tion, and the outgoing committee desired 'to recqmmend several changes. The first related to the representation of members without distinction to class. It is proposed that in the future the distinction between the associate members and the allled mem- bers of the association may be done away with. The second recommendation related to the subject of proxies. The principal change in this respect is that no person shall represent club at & meeting of which he Is not a member. O Playing Rules. There will be chabges in the way of playing chamiplonship matches. Under the present rules the qualifylng round played on the first day consists of thirty-six holes. The suggestion 16 that the rules be changed #0 a8 to make the qualifying round played on the opening day consist of elghteen holes, the best sisty-four scores to qualify The sixty-four players qualifying as continue playing over the elghteen-hole course unt{l but two players are left. The two surviving players are to qualify for the fiial round, which shall consist of thirty-six tibles. In the event of tles the players 80 tied are to keep on playlng until one shall have galned a hole, The proposition to invite an English team from the Oxford and Cambridge so- cletios of England to come here during the coming season and compete with American tepgs was 1414 on. the table. hen a ballot was taken on thé mext champlonship match location, Glenview won, 27 to 14 for Nassau.

A HODIFIES MURDER CHARGE State Oonoludes Beoond Dagru will Answer for Bader Mina. .SMDV'S COUSIN IS FIRST WITNESS Mardered Assyrian’s Relative Tries to Threw Some Light in Dark Places ~Interpreter a Center of Attract The county attorney announced yesterday at the beginning of the trial of Bader Mina, alleged to have participated in the killing of Najeeb Saldy in front of her store at 1462 South Thirteenth street, November 30, t] he would ask only for a verdict of murder in the second degree, but that he would in- #ist on that. The indictment had charged murder in the first degree. In forecasting his line of prosecution the county attorney tmplied that he would seek 6 show that Mrs. Mina brought from her store the knife with which Joe Bardaweel bbed Saldy. The attormeys for the de- fense stated that they would prove that Bardaweel was chased nearly two blocks by & crowd of six or more who, with clubs sought to beat him seriously; that he wa cornered near the Mina store; that after his club had been splintered in his hand he took his knife from his pocket and stabbed Saldy In selfdefense and that during all this time Mrs. Mina was in the rear of her store and did not appear until Saldy was dead and Bardaweel about to flee. Joseph Saldy, whose father is a brother of the dead man's mother, was put on the and as the only witness of the afternoon. He testified that Najeeb had come to Omaha direotly from Assyria and that he had been here only five weeks when stabbed. He w: not present at the fight in which his cousin was killed, but ran to it Iater. Another cousin of the dead man will be put on the stand this morning, and about twenty other members of the colony are to be heard in the course of the trial. Very few of them can speak English and Minnie Ablan has been engaged as interpreter. Minnle is an Assyrian girl about 20 old and is ac- quainted with not only the English lang- uage, but French perfumes and American ways, and she promises to be one of the In- teresting features of the trial. Defendant is at Ease. Among those present in the court room the one who appeared to be least disturbed was the defendant, who sat in her chais all morning with two small children playing at her knees and over the court room floor. Others of the colony eat apart from her, the young people dressed in gayest colors and the elders In silks and euits that were evidently the best their wardrobes af- forded. eMrs. Mina is tawny, apparently not more than 40 years old, and dresses more severely than most of the others. Bardaweel Still Missing. Bardawee] ran away when the patrol wagon was sighted and has not since been located, although Minter Bylastro has re- cently reported that he saw him in New York on December 6, and it Is believed that he went back to the old country. The be- ginning of the trial has revived Interest in his whereabouts and many of the Assyrians here are said to be anxlous for his capture and to have spoken to the police lately as to the advisability of attempting to locate him in the old country. Chlef Donahue said yesterday: “All that could have been done we have done 10 apprehend the man. The last we heard of him was a re- port that he had been seem in New York and had taken ship for his old home. 1f the report is true -it would be s aiffoult matter to get him. “In fabt, it would be al- most impossible. It may be, however, that the report is not true and that we will yet arrest him. - At present we are not making any systemat! developmenta. LIBRARY BOARD BUSINESS Distributing Station to Be Established in Northern Section of City, search. We are awaiting The regular monthly meeting of the library board was held last night, with all members present, excepting Mr. Leavitt, A proposition from a Lincoln firm of adver- tising agents to furnish monthly bulletins in return for the privilege of exploiting the cover pages for advertising was de- clined as contrary to the policy of the board. A change was made in the rules 80 as to provide for keeping the library open every day in the year, except Christ- mas day and the Fourth of July, the hours for Sundays and legal holidays being the same as at present on Sundays, without the privilege of drawing books for home use on these days. The bodrd also instructed the librarian to miake arrangements to establish and maintain a station for the distribution of books in the vicinity of Ames avenue and Twenty-fourth street. This was in re. sponse to & request made some time ago by the North Omaha Improvement club for & branch library. Not being prepared to open a new library, the board declded om the station in its place for the present. A resolution was adopted gratefully ae- knowledging the work of ti Omaha ‘Woman's club for decorating the children’s room, but requesting that plans for future decorations be submitted for the board’ endorsement. e monthly report of the librarian was received and bills aggregat- ing $1,664 audited for payment, TO BE SISTERS OF MERCY Three Young Women Take White Vell at Mount A beautiful and impressive service was solemunized in the chapel of Mount Saint Mary's academy yesterday afternoon, the oceasion being the reception of three yous women as novices into the order of Sis- ters of Mercy. The chapel was filled with spectators, the stalls wers oceupled by priests and sisters, while the altar was ablaze with its numerous candles symbolic of joy. To the “Triumphal Procession,” sung by a choir from the balcony in the rear, the procession of sisters entered, fol- lowed by three candidates, sccompanied by the mother superios d the next in office. Bishop Scannell officiated, assisted by Rev. Father Stentsel, as master of cere- monies, and Father Colanerl. The three young women, who have been fn the con- vent in novitiate for the past six months, take the white veil of the movice for a period of two years' probation, aft requirements, members of the order.

Bryan. The “infant” is a pia with mabogany legs, a delighttully -fl“l- ous interfor and a double row of ivory keys, Almost as even and Whits an the rows Phillp Ablan showed as he smilingly passed up the wine to the christener. The awakening of the child was by Wil- liam LaViofette, who played “Hearts and Flowers” and later “America.” The orators of the local democracy put om their own heavy pedals, also, and thumped out ex- hortations in Qb, among these belng Frank Ransom, H. B. Fleharty of South Omaba, W. R. Patrick from thereabouts, W. 8. Shoe- maker and Lysle Abbott, the last men- tioned speaker expressing the felicitations of the occasion. John Gleason sang two solos and then united with James Swift in relating “What Dugan Did to Them.” An- drew Jackson Webb' sang of the “Low- Backed. Car” and Commissioner Richard O'Keefte, Sherift Jobn Power and L. J. Platti guided the untralned chorus through the musical mages of some of the national hymns and ditties. RAVENNA FARMER BUNCOED Frank Havlik Gives Up Fifty Good Dollars for a Good-for- Nothing Bon Frank Havlik, a farmer, and his wife, who. live near Ravenna, Neb., started yes- terday morning from their home to visit his father, whom Havlik has not seen in twenty-four years, and who lives twelve miles from Kimball, 8. D. An elderly man, who sald his name was T. J. Lyon, with whom they had been talking for some time, suddenly asked them, whem the .train was at the Burlington depot in this eity, to hold what purported to be a $100 bill as security for the loan of money to pay express charges. They gave him $50, all the money they bad, and Lyon quickly disappeared. Ex- amining the paper given them, they dis- covered it was a neatly engraved bond issued by a Colorado mining company for $1,000. Lyon had folded the bond so that it appeared not unlike a $100 bill, and had held his thumb over one of the ciphers. Instead of continuing thelr journey, Havlik and his wife went to the police station and reported their los They have their tickets to Sloux City, having been able to buy tickets only to that point. — Amusements. At the Boyd, “A Ragged Hero" is of the fly-by-night varlety, always so popular, where blood and thunder are the chief requirements for suc- cess. It broke into the Boyd Thursday for two performances, both of which were given before audlences which filled the balcony and gallery of the theater almost to overflowing. To judge from the tumultuous applause which each of the numerous thrilling hair- brealth escapes of the hero and heroine trom the treachery of the heavy -villlan brought ‘forth, and to the fact that no one demanded the return of thelr admission fee, 1t was thoroughly enjoyed by those who saw it. The company might improve the plece somewhat if they were to remain In the city long enough to recelve the benefit of a little instruction ia the dramatic art at the local school, or, better still, If the management would engage a few of its pu- pils to replace some of the automatons in the cast.

Now, individual deposits in the same class of banks exceed by 100 per cent the value of these cereals dls- posed of by the producers thereof. Manifestly the banks of the metropolis hold more western money than | they have on deposit In western banks, but it is equally true that the east has contributed generally to western industries and enterprisgs.
