MARTIN-GEIST MATCH
ROUSES GOLF WORLD
Dr. J. W. White Replies to Cler
ical Critic nnd Colleague.
Also Indulges in Satire.
That $100,000 to $1000 wnger for the en
dowment of a chair of surgical research
nt the University of Pennsylvania, which
hinges on the outcomo ot a game of golf
to bo played by Dr. Kdward Martin and
Charles H. Deist, who has put up the big
end of the stake, threatens to split not
only the golf-plnylng contingent of these
parts but to Involve certain gentlemen
of tho cloth as well.
Hot upon tho publication ot a minister's
letter protesting against tho University
profiting from the proceeds of a gambling
game, camo today a carefully-worded
cplstlo from Dr. J. William White, who
endeavors to straighten cit the ethical
question Involved nnd to guarantee that
tho University would receive tho amount
of the bet with unstained hands.
Dr. White wrote:
My nttcntkn has Just been called
to tho fact that n clergyman has sent
to tho nowspapcrs n protest against
the University consenting to profit
from a bet said to have been made
bttween Mr. Gelst and Dr. Kdward
Martin, l'ho prollt acciucd to tho
University, ni cording to the terms ot
Hie alleged vngcr. It Doctor Martin
defeated Mr. Gelst nt golf. The cler
ical ciltic may set his mind at case.
The essence of gambling lies In the
element ot chance. This element Is
absent In nny bet which has as one
of Its factor! the possibility ot Doc
tor Martin's winning a game of golf
from any one. The fair fame ot tho
University 1 In no danger.
Interrupting his practice or preparing
for the big game, which Is to come oft In
tho early fall at tho links of the Scnvlew
Golf Club near Atlantic City, Doctor Mar
tin stopped long enough to deliver some
verbal hot-shot at his learned confrere
?nd golf cnthuslnst, Doctor White. Cast
ing his eye to heaven nnd leveling his
tones carefully so as to use tho full meas
viro of his satire, Doctor Martin gave vent
to tho following:
"It Is a matter of surprise that golf
should bo regarded oven as a game by
one (naming no nnmrs, but really Dr.
J, Willlnm White) whose years of turf
tearlng, wind-fanning ball-denting, vocif
erously anathematizing, futllo vlolenco
with golf clubs flnnlly Induced an all too
patient Greens Commltteo to tnke meas
ures equally directed toward the protec
tion of fairways nnd of the outraged ears
of the playing members.
"To those who know Dr. J. William
Whlto's unrepentcel past. It Is a source
of dazed wonderment that he should have
read any clergymnnlc communication In.
a spirit of bitter resentment. Consider
ing Its source, tho truth percentage of his
statement regarding the Inadequacy ot
my own gnmc Is amazingly high."
Despite the assertions which have been
cast upon the game of golf that Doctor
Martin Is. likely to play, that gontlemnn
refuses to permit his critics to dissuade
him from tho ultimate perfection of his
skill at tho same. Dally he practices In
doors, batting his specially prepared cot
ton balls around the corridors and rooms
of. his home at 1500 Locust street.
"Between tho hqurs of 1 nnd 2 In the
morning, however," ho said seriously, "I
find that my genius for golf burns more
brightly. I arise nt this timo in order to
get the best results."
"I hear that Mr. Gelst Is practicing ns
nsslduously as I am, but you must re
member that ho prefers the outdoor game
nnd I tho Indoor. It has been raining
copiously of late. I have great hope of
winning tho wager."
If tho eminent surgeon doesn't win,
however, ho will have to buy ten shares
of the Seavlow's stock, at $100 per share.
But this Is an event ho refuses to talk
about.
$1200 Horse Show Profit for Hospitals
A total of $1200 was realized by the
fourth annual Indoor horse show, accord
ing to tho .report issued by the commlt
teo today. Mrs. Walter C. Hancock,
chairman of the committee, expressed
gratification at tho excellent showing.
The money earned will be distributed
among tho Onocologlc, Samaritan, Garret
son, American, Babies' nnd Polyclinic
Hospitals.
After all expenses were paid, Mrs.
Hancock supplemented the sum pro
cured by each hospital through tho said
of tickets by an additional J200.

as Means of Marrying Sweet
heart. Ellsworth McDowell, the "after-dinner
thief," who, tho police say, has ndmlt
tctl having robbed live houses in West
Philadelphia during thc last five days,
did so that ho might shower Jewels upon
n woman with whom he was In lovo nnd
In order that he might have sufflclcnt
funds to procure a divorce for this woman
and marry her, according to the police
of the jJth and Pine streets station.
The woman Is said to be Mrs. Ray

A number of loiters were found In Mc
Dowell's pockets showing that he was on
Intimate terms with Mrs. Schappel, who
has been separated from her husband for

McDowell had given her numerous dia
monds and pearls nnd that he had an
nounced In the neighborhood of his board
ing house, at 1529 Pnrrlsh street, that he
Intended marrying her ns soon as he
could obtain a divorce for her from Mr.
Schappel, now In Atlantic City.
Accoidlng to Sergeant Neells, of the
53th and Pine streets police station, Mr.
and Mrs. Schappel were to have attempt
ed a reconcllatlon In this city today, but
It Is believed that the effort will fall
now that Mrs. Schappel's friendship for
the arrested man Is known.
McDowell wns coming from nn alley
ndjolnlng the house of James Cross, 49H
Hazel avenue, when James J. Littleton, n
private watchman, captured him. The
housebreaker told a weird story to the
effect that ho was n private detective
nnd engaged to get divorce evidence. Lit
tleton doubted tho tnle and turned him
over to tho police of the 66th and Pine
streets station.
He was closeI questioned by Acting
Detectives Fahy nnd Mahaffy and ad
mitted entering the following houses dur
ing the last few days and stealing the
money named.

Mary Gannon. 123 South 48th street. $U9.
In the prisoners' room Jewelry and other
articles valued at J1S00 were found. Mc

mon Councilman Hobert Smith, chairman
of the Councils Fourth Committee, ihat

One of the striking features of tho

lMEtiK m REJODER
TO BERLIN INSISTS UPON
TREATY RIGHTS AT SEA
President Wilson to Leave
No Loophole for Quib
blingTransmission De
layed by Receipt of Gulf
light Note.
WASHINGTON, June 6.
Only Germany can prevent a break In
the present friendly relations between
Itself and the fnlted States. The Amerl
can rejoinder to the Berlin reply dealing
with submarine warfare leaves no loop
hole for nulbbllng. It demands ns,a mat
ter of right that tho United Stales be as
sured bv Germany that thc rules of tho
,eas confirmed by thnt nation's repre-"pr-tntlves
to ihe various International
ronferemes nnrl set forth In existing
treaties, bo lived up to. Thc matter Is
very franklv stated not to be one for
cither discussion or arbitration. The
statements of f.ict talsed by the German
Government In connection with the Lusl
tnnla hne been brushed aflldo ns Irrele
vant. It is assorted that there Is no truth
In the claim that the esscl wns armed,
as she was examined Just before she
cleared her dock.
Tho note would have gone forward
Inst night only that the German note on
tho Cushlng nnd Gulfllght made It neces
sary thnt ccrtnln references to them be
eliminated.
The Stato Department,, therefore, hod
not begun coding the noto to Germany
at 9:ra n. m, today. It wns understood
It wns nil ready to bo coded, however,
n work expected to take four or five
hours. The general belief won It would
go forward today or tonight, but this was
unolllcl.il. It was presumed II would
take about 4S hours In transmission. Fur
ther ofllclal news concerning It was
deemed unlikely until It Is In Ambassa
dor Gerard's hands.
CONTAINS NO THREATS.
Tho noto contnlns no threats. It mnTtcs
no alternative proposals. Expressed In
friendly diplomatic terms. It sets forth
that American citizens look to this Gov
ernment to protect them In their move
ments, whether In or out of tin war
zone.
Should Germany nsscnt to the main pro
posal set forth, thc United States will
willingly consent to discuss In detail the
facts In the Lusltnnia nnd nny other
matters that Germany thinks can bo ex
plained. The dispatch of tho German Embassy's
cmoy, Meyer Gerhard, to Berlin, has
no bearing on thc American action.
It Is accepted that It will probably de
lay the German leply, Inasmuch as Count
von Bcrnstorff has asked his Govern
ment to nwnlt Oerhnrdt's arrival before
acting. Thc emhussy nnd other German
sources In this city remain hopeful.
GULFLIGHT AND CUSH1NG.
So far as all other questions between
tho two governments are concerned they
arc certain of adjustment. Germany's
statement that the Gulfllght case was an
"unfortunnto accident" Is admittedly very
probable, as the captain nnd first officer
df the vessel admitted It was being con
voyed by u British craft. Thc promise to
settle the Cushlng Incident shows nn evi
dent willingness on tho Berlin Foreign
Office's pnit to make all amends possible
