BY GEORGE COWNE.
There were a succession of earth
quakes yesterday at the Waverley
Country club, where the 1921 Pacific
Northwest amateur golf champion
ship is in dispute. The temblors for
a time threatened to disrupt the local
links hall of fame beyond all prece
dent. The first came in the defeat
of Russell Smith of the Waverley
Country club by George Von Elm of
the Salt Lake Country club, by a
score of 4 up and 3. and the second
was the match between H. Chandler
Egan of Waverley, present northwest
champion, and Forrest Watson, also
of Waverley, in which Watson forced
his opponent on the last nine and
only1 lost the match by 1 up on the
36th hole.
The two matches were in the semi
final round, and the final outcome
leaves Egan and Von Elm to play in
the final round for the title today.
Brilliant playing which has charac
terised the tournament since its start
on Monday was again witnessed In
the two semi-final matches. The
most brilliant feature of the play
yesterday was the uphill battle of
Forrest Watson, the young Waverley
star, aShinst Egan and Watson's
whirlwind finish of the match in
which he made four consecutive holes
ic threes.
AYatson's Playing; Remarkable.
At Ihe 15th hole of the second 18
Watson was four down, but with some
of the most remarkable playing ever
witnessed on the Waverley course he
cut down the margin to one hole by
winning the loth, 16th and 17th.
Watson lost a chance to square the
match on the ISth green when his 20
foot putt fell two inches short of the
pin. The 18th was halved in fives
and Egan, being one up, won the
match.
The deadly and at times phenome
na! putting of George Von Elm, Utah
state champion, was the predominat
ing feature of his match with Russell
Smith, which the 20-year-old Salt
Lake golfer won, 4 up and 3 to play.
Although giving the Salt Lake City
star all possible credit for his re
markable and at the same time un
canny work with the putter, it must
be conceded that fickle Xame For
tune was decidedly on the side of the
Utah state champion.
Two Long Putts Holed.
At the end of the morning round
Von Elm was 4 up on his opponent.
The story of the first 18 holes, stated
briefly, is that Von Elm holed -two
remarkably long putts while Smith
missed two short ones.
Starting the afternoon round, the
players halved the first two holes
and Smith won the fifth with a par
four. The next six holes were halved,
leaving Von Elm 3 up at the turn.
The 10th and 12th holes should
have been won by Smith, but Von
Flm sunk a 30-foot putt for a half
on the 10th. and the 12th was also
halved In 4s. Smith won the 11th
with a bird'e 2, leaving him still 2

Clouds After Avalanche Falls
Into Big Basin.
GOLDECVDALE. Wash., June 24.
Special.) Several days of extreme
summer heat have dislodged the vast
snow fields from the surface, of the
glaciers on the east side of Mount
Adams .in Avalanche valley, and the
peak, as viewed from Goldendale and
the Klickitat valley, has assumed
the usual brown summer appearance.
The portion of the east ide of the
mountain lying between the head
waters of the streams known as the
Big and Little Muddy has been
covered with more snow this year
than has been apparent for several
seasons. William R. Wall, fire war
den for the timber companies in the
Simcoe mountains, observed a gigan
tic snow slide today from his fire
lookout station near Goldendale.
The slide observed occurred in the
extremely precipitous portion of th
east side of the peak above the Big
Muddy basiri, a huge natural bowl
where the stream known as the Big
Muddy originates. The forest ranger
said that the anow commenced moving
near the top of the peak, and that
about a quarter of the entire area
of the east side of the mountain had
the appearance of being In motion
for about 15 minutes.
As the-gigantic mass of snow and
ice dropped into the Eig Muddy-
basin the entire east side of th
mountain was obscured from view for
several minutes by what appeared to
be dense clouds of vapor, apparently
caused by the flying snow that-filled
the air following the reaction of the
slide settling into the Big Muddy
basin.

BUREAU. Washington, D. C.
June 24 '"If the public service
commission of Washington has
suspended the 5 per cent rate
increase in the Columbia basin
rate case, the matter has not
come to my attention," said an
official of the interstate com
merce commission tonight. "Oft

has no authority to suspend a
ruling by this body, but not
having the reference ready to

about it."
That the railroads affected under
an order of the department of public
works of the state, of Washington,
otherwise the public service commis-
ion of that commonwealth, setting
aside interstate commerce commis
sion rates in the Columbia basin case,
should not heed the order, but should
proceed to put Into effect the Inter
state commission's rates, is the dec
laration of J. O. Bailey, who repre
sented' the state of Oregon In the
case. He asserts unequivocally that
the federal commission's authority is
supreme, as do other local experts.
"There is absolutely no reason why
the carriers affected should heed the
order of the Washington state au
thorities In this matter," said Mr.
Bailey. '.'Time and time again the
authority of the interstate commerce
commission In such cases has been
established as superior to that of
states. Otherwise, there ' would be
very little, if any, use in having an
interstate commission. The only
thing the order of the state commis
sion can do in this instance, if any
thing; at all. is to delay the intra-

HARDING IS VISITED
Regret Is Expressed at Inconven

Declared Pleasant.
WASHINGTON. D. C. June 24
Secretary Denby today "publicly
reprimanded Rear-Admiral William
Sims as a result of the speech the ad
miral made in London June 7 in which
he criticised Sinn Fein sympathizers
in America.
In the reprjmand, Mr. Denby point
ed out that once before the navy de
partment had found it necessary to
take similar action against the of
ficer for an address delivered in Lon
don In 1911, and referring to the text
of that reprimand added:
lour remarks on the occasion now
under discussion, therefore, constitute
a flagrant and deliberate disregard of
specific instructions."
Sims Calls on President.
While the naval secretary was mak
ing public the reprimand Admiral
Sims was calling on President Hard
lng at the White House. It was ex
plained that the admiral called to
leave his card as is the custom when
high naval officers return from a trip
abroad, but that the president invited
him to chat for a few minutes.
Upon leaving the White House, Ad
miral Sims, referring to the reprimand
said: "I got what I deserved, the
same old thing."
He added that he regretted having
caused the administration any lncon
venience, but said that he now con
sidered the incident closed.
So far as could be learned, the
reprimand was not mentioned during
the admiral's visit to the president.
Upon leaving the White House the
officer was asked if his conversa
tion with the executive had been
pleasant, he replied: "Of course, it
was."
Sims Goes to Newport.
Admiral Sims left tonight for New
port, R. I., where he will resume his
duties as president of the naval war
college.
After hie London speech his leave
was revoked by Secretary Denby and
he was ordered to return to America
immediately. The officer will be fur
nished with a copy of his reprimand,
and, it was explained, another cony
will be attached to his record. Other
copies, naval officers said, will be
distributed to the naval service in
the form of a general order to be read
to the crews of all vessels and sta
tions, along with other orders, on ttu
first Sunday of the month after
promulgation to the service.

RIGA. June 24. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The Russian soviet
legation here has sent a letter to
William H. Johnston, president of the
International Association of Machin

soviet authorities to permit him to
enter Russia. The letter said it was
deemed Inadvisable to adm't him, in
I view or tne attituae or tne LniteJ
states towara soviet traae delegates.
The general Russian attitude, so
far as can be observed, from R'ga,
is to bar all Americans until the
United States permits the entry of
Russians. It was believed here to be
doubtful whether United States Sena
tor Joseph I. France would be ad
mitted into Russia, as he is acting

Brazilian Who Paid for Princess
Suspects Tribal Ruler Would
Sell Daughter Again
Romany rye or bourbon or some
thing else must have scrambled the
wits of King George of the Gypsies,
avers Alexander Miller who married
Rosie Nickles, his daughter, and who
won, recently, the accusation on the
part of the tribal king that he had run
away with the princess and a bag
of ducats amounting in value to (500.
Miller, a .dusky young Brazilian of
21 years, was cast into jail yester
day on thestrength of a complaint
charging larceny sworn to some
while ago by King George himself.
He said he read in a newspaper
some time ago that King George had
accused him ot running olt wun me
Princess Rosie and taking along SoOO,
also belonging to King George.
A week ago King George disap
peared from the colony, taking along
Princess Rosie, wife of Miller, he a!
leges. But instead of being able to
pursue his royal father-in-law, the
young Gypsy is held in Jail.
Miller says the motive In the case
is clear. King George wants to help
stabilize his shattered fortunes by
silling his pretty daughter, Rosie, all
over again.
The princess became Mrs. Miller, he
says, in feacramento, Cal., a year ana
a half ago. Miller told of buying
the princess In approved Gyp5y fash
ion and of the tribal rites by which
Rosie became Mrs. Miller. The pur
chase and the ceremony, he said, cost
him S1000.
