' New York's speakeasies have developed the "dtiwn dinner," men and women that sit all wight ' drinking, sometimes watching strange sights, "Pop" Gallagher, who runs His utile speaKeasy m wtii join street, and sends the profits to somebody higher up, describes the working o prohibition simply.'- ' ' . , !, Eight dawn drinkers were in the baek room at 7 :15 a. m when two men' came' in with Imogcuc,. ordcVcd "two . beers rand a Scotch," then drew pis ' tols and held up the place. . "Pop"- made , no fuss; he knows better. Polfecinan Bums, in civilian clothes, was less wise. - : He' was shot in the stomach and will brobably die, there is nothinir important: in- the Story, no real hews. New York's 32,000 speakeasies are always picturesque and usj. - ' The . interest is "Pop" Gal lagher's frankness. Did he run a speakeasy? Sure; what else would he run! .. .

"I sentence hundreds of defend ants to the government prison each year. If all violators coin ing under the Jones law were sent there, there would be no place to put them." It is easier to make laws than to mirke them work. 4 Photographs and scientific observations were made of the sun's eclipse from lioilft. Island ikirlcr gsod conditions.

BRITISHERS HAIL HAGEN AS WjZARD Experts at Loss to Describe Fourth Victory in Open 'Adversity Spurs Him On,' Says Sport Writer Some Lament British Downfall! i . in View of Ryder Victory. Average Is 296 M Walter Hagen has averaged 290 !4 strokes on three courses In winning his four British open golf championships. His victories, his scores and the course where they were won, follow: 1922 Sandwich 300 1924 Hoyiake 301 1928 Sandwich 282 1929 Mulrfleld 292 liOXDON, Eng., May 11, W) Golfing experts found themselves at a' loss today for adjectives in describing Walter Hagen's fourth victory in the British oien cnam- Aithmi Although Britons generally had expected alter the Ryder cup matches that some home-breed would halt the American Invasion In the open, editorial comment was unanimous In accepting Kageii's victory with good grace. "Hagen, the wizard! There fs no other description to apply to this wonder golfer," said Sporting .Life. "The man is really unique. Adversity spurs him on and the more difficult his task the greater golf he plays." That he showed himself utterly unperturbed by his defeat In the Ryder cup matches was regarded by the writers as a special Indica tion of his greatness. . ' : '-.. " 'Tlio man who can thus recover his nerve and his confidence da-; serves to win," said the Kxpross. . Paying tribute to his extraordi-. nary courage iu bounding BacK after a bad defeat, the Times says: "No reverse, it seems, can ruffle his equanimity or shake his nerve." There are' some laments tor Great Hrtaln's downfall. These were all the more sorrowrui in view of the fact that the Ryder cup success' had raised, hopes of a British victory In the open for the first time since 1923. "Without grudging the new tri umph Hagen so tlioronghly de served," the Post raises its regret ful volceto come to the conclusion that British golfers "lack something that makes for victory." Most of the Americans were In Kdlnburgh and St, Andrews today. Tomorrow members of the Ryder cup team go to Gieoeagles, Monday to Manchester and Tuesday to Leeds for the maches. i FIVE ARE OEAD N HOTEL FIRE AMARJLLOJEX. A.MAR1XLO. Tpx.
