TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 31.—Golf
has taken such a grip on Toledo
sines the public links tournament
started that even a suicide virtu-
ally in the presence of 600 persons
creates no interest—while a golf
match is being played.
Yesterday a prominent local man
swallowed poison just off the first
fairway when Eddie Held and
George Aulbach were playing the
first extra hole in their semi-final
contest. The news was quickly
spread through the gallery of 600.
About ten walked over to the death
scene, but the other 590 plugged
right along after the players.
A policeman assigned to guard
the body pending arrival of an
ambulance was unable to stand
the strain of missing the match,
so hs called s colleague over.
“Take my place here, will you,
Tim?” he said. “I’ve got a bet
on Eddie Held, and I want to fol-
low the rest of the play.”
GREENVILLE, Miss, Aug. 31.--

under government supervision to dem-

Today’s demonstration was a con-
tinuation of a test begun yesterday on
a 14,000-acre cotton field with r. dele-

sided battle.
Under the plan, airplants, flying low,

WINONA LAKE, Ind., Aug.
31.—The NoTobacco League in
America in a resolution adopted
at the annual convention, de-
nounced the whole tobacco busi-
nets as "essentially, inherently
and wholly bad because the use
of tobacco reduces the useful-
ness of adults and degenerate the
whole human race,” and called
on State Legislatures to pass
laws “safeguarding the inalien-
able rights of npn-smokers, par-
ticularly in hotels, restaurants
and in other public places and
in elevators and common car-
riers.”
The resolution set forth that
“nonusers havo the inherent
right to pure air uncontaminated
by the poisonous fumes of to-
bacco smoke.” The resolution
also advocates laws prohibiting
the advertisement of tobacco
through newspapers and per-
iodicals; condemns the moving
picture industry for allowing
leading characters to be thown

The State of Texas went on a deti-
ciency at noon Thursday, all available
general revenue funds in the State
treasury becoming exhausted at that
time, it was announced at the treas-
ury department.
The various banks of Austin were
advised by the treasury department
that, there were Ho more funds avail-
; able in general revenue to meet current
expenses, and that all warrants issued
after noon Thursday would be defi-
ciency warrants and the banks would
cash such warrants with the knowl-
edge that they were deficiency war-
rants.
There was a mild rush on the treas-
ury early today by clerks and other at-
taches cf departments fr their war-
rants, and at noon it was announced
that there were no more funds avail-
able to pay them. State Treasurer
Terrell held a conference with Attor-
ney General Keeling On the subject,
and the conclusion was reached that
there was nothing to be done to meet
th** situation.
According to Treasurer Terrell, there
is nearly $2,000,000 involved in drouth
loans and depository banks. Of that
amount $1,500,000 it locked up with
depository and closed banks. Banks
which have failed contained $300,000
of state funds. Depository banks which
have secured an extension of time
within which to pay over deposits of
state funds hold $1,200000 of such
funds. In addition to that, the state,
by act of the Legislature, loaned West
Texas counties approximately $450,000
to purchase seeds and plant crops fol"
1 lowing the long drouth, and this isyet
to be repaid. The Wert had f ood crops
last year, but not so good this season,
so payments are not expected in the
, near future.
