In spite of the balf holiday the volume of sales to-day seemed likely to be pro- portionately higher than those of yes- terday and Thursday. By the same token, it was discov- ered ghat the “small profiteers," on whowe trail the Federal Government began to bark yesterday, had taken advantage of the first two days of the food sales to make profits for themselves. Finding the voluntoer women police reserves at each school-store wore familiar with the faces of proviston dealers of the neighborhood ond promptly vetoed sales to such men and their agents, some small retailers tried the devious method. of sending thelr buyers out of their own districts to attempt to make large purchases.

The District Attorney's investiga- tion into the great dictaphone, mys- | tery of Bast 27th Street to-day led Assistant District Attorney Pecora to the belief that a jealous wife has employed a private detective agency to collect evidence against her hu: band and that the detective: agency has planted dictaphones in several Places indicated by the jealous wife for the purpose of overhearing con- versations of persons who she be- lieved might know something about the case, This conclusion was reached from evidence furnished by Nathan M. Barbour, superintendent of the house ut No. 143 East 27th Street, where Nathan Newman found dictaphone machines in the rooms oc- pied by his three pretty daughters last Thursday night, Anthony Sones, head of the private. detective agency which placed the lictaphones ‘in the Newman apart- iment, said to-day that he had put similar plants In nine other apart- ments in New York and tad $50,000 4t his disposal for the Investigation of the particular case in which the dictaphones were used. Barbour said he heard Sene’s operatives tell of placing « dictaphone in an apartment in West 65th Street, Barbour told the District Attorney that he was asked to aid two detec. tives by Aaron Levy, a son of Mrr. Fanny Levy, the owner of the apart- ment house, The detectives said-they were working on a big gambling ex- pose, He introduced the detectives as ctricians and they put in the ma- chines without the knowledge of the Newmans. ter, Bo cour said, he overheard the detectives talking about a divorce case and a “Mr, Hutchins,” He was to get $10 for his part in the dicta- one plot, but the money was not oming and last Thursday he in- med Mr. Newman of the circum tances, Mr. Newman consulted his lawyer, and the matter was thus brought to the attention of the authorities, ‘i Senes said’ dietaphones had been | placed by his operatives in eight other houses and apartments in con- nection with the same caso and that forthe the occupants were watched con- stantly, cereale seetad Tragedy Witness Killed, BINGHAMTON, N.

PITTSBURGH, Aug, 23.—The first half of the thirty-six hole finals for the National Amateur golf title on the Oakmont links to-day ended in a tle between Bobby Jones of Atlanta and Dave Herron of Pittsburgh. Herron ran up an early lead but the seventeen-year-old Southern pride gradually overcame his 218 pound opponent on the last holes and came to the home green in a deadlock, The match was ipayed under a biasing sun. Sensational shot were freely sprin- kled with por ones, Herron on the outward trip was as steady as a rock. Turning tor home, however, the Pitts- burgh swatter became erratic and drove into trouble, a weakness which blew bis lead and put him on even terms with his Southern rival, Jones at the outset ran into a spell of poor putting. When the gigantic Herron began missing his drives Bobby grew more confident on the greens, This was marked toward the finish, especially on the home green, when the Georgia wizard came within inches of sinking @ 85-foot Herron on several holes got off 300- yard tee shots, but driving honors went to Jones ,who walloped a better average than his huge opponent. Both contestants camo into the club house dripping wet from their strenuous efforts, They had little un the gallery which raced over the long course jumping ditches and spinting up and down hill as though the tem- perature was near the freezing point their votes were recorded in the negative, Benator Lodge made the motion to strike ort Japas and insert China,” It was ‘claimed by the Demo« | cratic leaders that no matter how the committee might vote, every “amendment to the treaty would | be killed by vote of the full Senate, The Republicans of the committee held an important meeting iast night in the office of Senator Knox, Their purpose was to expedite and facilitate voting on amendments, It was desired to prevent confusion and delay, It was suggested that many bropositions may be voted upon em bloc.
