Justice Jenks Does Not Believe Offices Were Created Jan. 1, 1914. The memorandum written by Justice Jenks says that Justice Stapleton's view of the interpretations and rulings on the question are correct and are adopted for concurrence, but exception is taken to the conclusion that the offices came into existence the first day of January of this year.

Summary: The news that Ouimet had qualified for the British open among the leaders caused a great stir.

Max R. Marston, the 1913 eastern interscholastic champion said: "It was only natural that SO brainy a player as Ouimet should be able to get his game adjusted to British wind and turf conditions. He has evidently attained that and now may be expected to do himself justice." The summaries: First sixteen, first round -Morton L. Fearey, Richmond County. beat Percy W.

AGAIN DOES 77 IN 2D ROUND. Ray, Taylor, Braid and Vardon Ahead of Him--The Magnet of Attention on Links. (Special Cable to The Eagle.) Troon, Scotland, June 12-At present holder of the three great golf titles. United States open, the French amateur and the Massachusetts amaFrancis Ouimet, qualified this morning for a battle for his fourth championship, when he brought in a in the last of the qualifying rounds. the British open championship.

Today's card added to his 77 of yesterday only places him safely among the lowest hundred eligible to compete, but as at Brookline last fall, puts him among the leaders. The following is the score of the at the close of the day's competition: Edward Ray, 76--74--150. John H. Taylor, 150. James Braid, 75-76--151.

Harry Vardon, 73-79--152. Francis Ouimet, 77-77--154. Some of the spectators had with them records of the Brookline tournament fall when Ouimet defeated Ray Vardon in the for the American title. Consulting these records it play, noted that at the end of the qualifying rounds at Brookline, Ray led the field with 148, with Vardon W. E.

Reid tied for second at 151, with Ouimet at 152. Thus it will be seen the American champion is today four strokes behind Ray as he was at Brooklyne. He is two worse than Vardon, as against one behind at Brookline. There were 193 entries, out of whom one hundred qualify for the championship to be played at Prestwick, Scotland, near here, on June 18 and 19. The name of John J.

McDermott, of Atlantic City, twice winner of the American open title, was scratched for today's play. McDermott arrived here this morning, twenty-four hours too late. He missed ed by eight minutes the boat from Havre, France, to Southampton. Harold Weber, the only other American starter, plugged along bravely through the second round today, although it was early seen that he had no chance. He brought in an 89, which added to his 84 of yesterday, gave him total of 171, which is expected to throw him out of the championship.

The players reversed courses today, and Ouimet, who had played on the poor municipal links yesterday, had the better No. 1, or Old Course, to try his skill on. It was thought that this change would enable him to bring in lower score, but where the Old Course showed an improvement in turf, especially on the putting green, it also provided stiffer penalties. However, Vardon showed how fine was the 77 of Ouimet yesterday over the poorly greened municipal course when, in playing those links this morning, he went off his game and brought in a 79. Ouimtt's Game Weak in Approaching.

of Ouimet's game today in general it may be said that it was weak the approaching, and the only thing that saved him was his straight play from the tee and his fine long iron shots. If he could have mastered his short pitches to the tricky greens well as he controlled h'g long game, would have led the field. Nor is his putting going as it should. At Brookline, this element of his game was strong feature, and was largely sponsible for his victory, but he does not seem to be able now to get down any putts over six feet. What the Britishers fear is that when he goes over to Prestwick, Ouimet will get on his putting game.

If he should, there is a general impression that will make a hard fight for the title. matter what may happen to Francis Ouimet in the championship proper, his two rounds yesterday and today have convinced the Scotch public-the severest golf critics in the world- -that the American title holde is no accidental champion, and that his triumph over Ray and Vardo: Brookline no fluke. There is a steadiness about Ouimet's play that recalls his best days Brookline. It would strain he was under at Sandwich when he held the center of the stage disappeared, owing to his having been out of the spotlight for several weeks and he is more the boyish, buoyant golfer that he was at Brookline. His superb nerve which counted 80 much at Brookline was splendidly in evidence today on the second where he was dead bunkered every possibility of getting a big for the hole and "blowing up." youthful Bostonian rose to the occasion in magnificent style and got of trouble with such skill as to cause loud applause.

The fine round of young American yesterday again sent in his the largest gallery of the day. of the wonders of these two days been the sight of this boyish player drawing the crowd away from famous players as Vardon, Taylor, Braid and Ray. Ouimet seemed to the magnet. The very possibility this Yankee golfer repeating at Prestwick what he did at Brookline in feating Britain's best golfers could but make him the center of attention. DR.

English Diplomats Expect Trouble in the Near East. Athens, Greece, June 12-A warning to Turkey, which fell little short of a formal declaration of hostilities was uttered today by Premier Venizelor of Greece in the Chamber of Deputies. He was speaking on the treatment of Greek subjects in Turkey. The Premier's attitude showed that the tension between Greece and Turkey was near breaking point and that the danger of war was imminent. M.

Venizelos, who obviously found difficulty in restraining his language when he spoke of the way in which the Turks had treated his fellow countrymen, said: "I do not wish to allow to escape me, words which cannot be recalled, but I should fail in my duty if I did not inform the Chamber of Deputies, that the situation has become graveeven very grave. If a stop is not put to these conditions, the Hellenic government will be forced not to content itself with joining in the lamentations of unhappy refugees." Loud and prolong cheers throughout the chamber greeted the statement of the Premier, who added that thousands of Greek refugees had reached the home land already from Turkey, while thousands more were only awaiting transportation facilities in order to escape from their persecutors. Such a situation he concluded could not be borne much longer. Reports have been current for several weeks of unrest in the Balkans, and of the ever -increasing acuteness of the situation between Turkey and Greece. A general feeling has prevailed in Europe that Turkey was preparing for another conflict with Greece, with the object of reconquering the territory she had lost in the recent war.

Expulsions Greek subjects from Asia Minor, well as from European Turkey, have been in progress for and return to Greek waters: Attack on Aivalik Begun- -Massacre Is Feared. London, June 12-The threat of another Greco-Turkish war did not come as a surprise to diplomats here today. It was pointed out that events in the Near East during recent months had been kindling the strongest animosities between the two peoples. Greece accuses Turkey of the wholesale expulsion with great cruelties of Greek Christians from the Province of Thrace, while Turkey accuses Greece of oppressing former Turkish subjects in the region of Saloniki, which was taken by the Greeks in the recent Balkan War. Messages from Athens today state that one class of the Greek naval reserves has been called out ostensibly to participate in fleet maneuvers.

Greek shipowners have telegraphed instructions to the commanders of their steamers in the Black Sea to pass through the Dardanelles immediately An official dispatch from Mitylene, an island off the coast of Asia Minor, says that Turkish regulars with machine guns and a force of Bashi-Bazuks today commenced an attack on the town of Aivalik on the coast of the mainland. As the town is inhabited by 25,000 Greeks, a massacre is feared. A conference between the Russian and Rumanian Ministers has been planned to take place at Bucharest, Rumania, next week to endeavor to prevent the breaking out of war. HARTZHEIM'S FUNERAL HELD.

"The chair wishes to answer some seventeen questions which have been received with regard to the subject of woman suffrage," announced Mrs. Pennybacker. "'The purport of these questions is: are we going to smother the At this suffrage the house question?" became very silent and the speaker paused dramatically.

Miss Elizabeth Cummings, 50 years old, who lives with her mother, 86 years old, at 259 Clarkson street, has mysteriously disappeared and her friends are worried about her. Miss Cummings, was apparently perfectly well, went downtown shopping on Tuesday. She did not return and nothing whatever has been heard of her.

The mother, Mrs. Catharine Cummings, is now at the home of Mrs. C. F. Barnes, at 1577 East Eighteenth street, an old friend, until something definite is known regarding her daughter.

Efforts to find her at the home of relatives have thus far been unavailing, and the hospitals, too, have been searched.

JERSEY CITY, N. J. XXi 1 Established in 1827 "GLYNN, DEMOCRATS' CHOICE," OSBORN State Chairman Finds Leaders Favor His Nomination for Governor. Democratic State Chairman William Church Osborn, wino returned yesterday from a trip through the northern counties, during which he talked over the State situation with many of the up-State leaders, told the local who asked him about the outlook today that Governor Martin H. Glynn was the choice of the majority of the leaders up-State for renomination.

"If Governor Glynn goes into the primaries he can get the nomination," the State Chairman is reported to have told those who asked hir about Glynn's chances. The Governor himself said last night that 1 he had not fully determined to be a candidate. lie said he "wouldn't the walk nomination," across and the street to get added that a wasn't sure he'd even permit his friends to circulate petitions for The local leaders who talked with the chairman received the distinct impression that Franklin Roosevelt of Dutchess, who has been suggested as a candidate, wasn't in the running, 50 far as the regular Democratic party was concerned. didn't even hear Mr. Roosevelt's name mentioned in connection with the Governorship," Osborn said.

The State Chairman came back with some very strong ideas on the matter of an unofficial convention and about what the issues in the State campaign were to be. Mr. Osborn believes that there should be no unofficial convention of any sort. The only excuse for it, he thinks, the framing of a platform and he is already suggesting that this be done at the conference in Manhattan next week. Representatives of the party from all over the State will be present and Mr.

Osborn thinks a declaration of principles and a platform can be drawn then, thus obviating the only excuse for anything that could be called a State convention. In a statement today he declared that the State campaign was going to be fought out on national issues to a greater extent than local ones. "The Democratic party has passed a new tariff bill, a new currency bill, is proposing the passage of a trust act and within the week has passed the amendment to the Panama Canal act. Forty-two Congressmen and a United States Senator are to be elected in New York this fall, and in view of these facts it is incredible to me that the national issues shall not figure as the main issues of the State campaign," he said. Alonzo G.

McLaughlin, president of the Brooklyn Democratic Club and a member of the executive committee, recently appointed by State Chairman Osborn, today came out in favor of the nomination of Glynn for Governor and Representative Herman A. Metz for. United States Senator. PALAIS DE DANSE POPULAR. Brighton Attraction Offers Prize Features That Appeal.

He also said that the company should accede to that view and that the Commission is now in course of negotiation with the company with the view of avoiding the issuance of a direct order in the matter. He said that Commissioner Emmet and John L. Swayze, attorney for the telephone company, had a conference on this matter yesterday.

Commissioner Emmet said his understanding was that the telephone company was desirous of meeting the views of the Commission in the matter of procedure, but it had not yet definitely determined what its final position would be. Senator J. F. Duhamel asked if the Commission would hold itself open to receive appeals from the various organizations during the process of appraisal. Commisisoner Decker said appeals would not help determine the matter but he said that the Commission would be very glad to have suggestions from any individual or organization that might have practical plans submit.

He said it was impossible to tell how long it would take to complete work but the Commission, he said, would do everything possible to shorten the proceeding.

the block party of the women of the Arlington Avenue Presbyterian Church last night. It was held on Cleveland from Arlington to Ridgewood aventies, a long block, where there are folk of many creeds, but every house on the street was decorated. The Presbyterian neighbors took just as much interest in the celebration as did the members of the Rev. Dr. Kerr's flock, because they wanted to honor Dr.

Kerr as the Moderator of the Brooklyn Presbytery. There was much un-Presbyterian dancing on the street during the evening. The block was aflame with light. Bridge Engineer McLean and his wife and daughters, even Donald McLean Ives, the grandson, were busy all night selling home-made cakes and Caledonian "short-breed." The Rev. Warren H.

Wilson, Ph.D., whose wife is the president of the Ladies Aid Association, was chauffeur for the time being, and for four hours took people around the block and on longer rides at so much a head. The automobile service was in charge of J. Connor Creveling, who had both of his cars out, and his brother, Scott Creveling, also had his car on the line. The automobiles coined money. Theft there was a pony cart, for the littio folks to ride in.

Creveling's lawn, on the northwest corner of Arlington avenue and Cleveland street, and Dr. Wilson's lawn, on the northeast corner, had been turned over to the celebration. The jollity began when the children were coming out of School No. 108, around the corner, and for a time the candy and cones melted away in the most marvellous way. But it was not until candle light, when the big people got busy, that the fun waxed fast and rationally furious.
