AMERICANS WIN
ATHLETIC EVENTS
UNITED STATES REPRESENTA
TIVES FIRST IN HURDLES
AND JUMPS
AMHERST RUNNER CALLED UNFAIR
Martin Hawkins, of Multnomah Club,
Portland, Third In Great 100
Meter Hurdle
Contest
STOCKHOLM, July 12. The Am
erican athletes won two more events
at the Olympic games today. Fred W.
Kelly, University of Southern Califor
nie, took the final heat of the 110-meter
hurdle race, while James Wendell,
of the New York Athletic club, and
Martin Hawkins, of the Multnomah
Athletic club, Portland, Or., were sec
ond and third respectively.
Albert L. Gutterson, of the Univer
sity of Vermont, captured the run
ning broad jump with a new Olympic
record of 24 feet, 11 inches.
The United States finished second
and third in the discus, fifth in the
modern Pentathlon and won places in
many heats in other events.
An incident occurred in the last
heaj of the semi-finals- of the 400 met
er ace today, which for a time stirred
upa small tempest. It was a collision
between Germany and the United
States.
An Amherst divinity student, Don
ald B. Young, running under the col
ors of the Boston Athletic Association
finished two yards in the lead in this
race, but was disqualified, and the heat
given to his teutonic rival, Braun, who
crossed the line second. The circum
stances led the spectators to think
the United States might protest, but
the American committee, while con
sidering the judges' decision in error
accepted it loyally.
The alleged foul occurred on the
first turn, fifty yards from the start
The race was for blood, and there
was great rivalry between the two
America, Young and Ira B. Daven
port, Ufjfersity of Chicago, and the
uermanftmraun. Young took the lead
on the first jump. The German at
tempted to pass him on the outside at
the turn and was elbowed by Young.
The judges made an attempt to stop
Young at the next turn but without
success.
The incident caused great excite
ment, the Germans hooted the Amer
icans and Manager Halpin argued
with the Judges.
When the mixup occurred Young,
Braun and a Swedish contestant were
bunched. Young had the pole, the
Swede was as close as possible be
hind on the inside, with Braun on the
outside. They were so close together
that they, seemed to rub shoulders.
The German sprinted Into the lead
and then apparently slowed up. Young
gave mm. a push with his right arm.
With that the runners straightened
out, and, after an inspiring contest,
came up the home stretch at a terri
fic pace, with Young in the lead.
LA f OLLETTE AIDES

SEAGIRT, N. J., July 12. Charles
R. Crane, of Chicago, who contributed
heavily to Senator La Follette'a cam

president of the University of Wiscon
sin, Senator La Follette's ardent sup
porter prior to the Chicago conven

bring about the success of the Demo

contributors and the donor of the
largest sum to the La Follette cam
paign fund. Mr. Crane helped make
possible the Senator's fight for the
Republican nomination. His indicat
ed espousal of Governor Wilson's
cause is hailed as an index to the sent
iment among the La Follette follow
ers. CENTRAL WEST IS

BOY SERIOUSLY HURT IN

ROOFS MUST BE
CLEANED OF MOSS
CHIEF HANNAFORD READY TO IS
SUE WARRANTS AGAINST
OFFENDERS .
FIRE ORDER IS, IGNORED BY MANY
Head Of Department Authorized By
Council To Have Offenders
Arrested Fine Is
$100
Fire Chief Hannaford announced
Friday evening that he would swear
out warrants against all persons who
had not removed moss from the roofs
o ouildings owned by them by the
middle of next week.
"The moss on the roofs is a men
ace to the city," said the chief, "and
it must be removed. The department
has given ample warning and many
persons have complied with the order,
but there are many who have not
Unless they act now the warrants will
be i3sued, and the prosecutions will
be strict. The ordinance covering the
offense provides for a fine of $100.
The moss is dry and sparks will ig
nite it. Moss is the greatest foe the
fire department has, and as the law
is so jlain, it is strange to me that So
many persons disregard it I intend
to prosecute all persons who are guil
ty to the fullest extent of the law. AU1
of them have been warned, and it is
my duty now to take action against
those who have not paid attention to
the warning. The city council has in
structed me to do this, and the rich
and the poor alike will have to comply
with the law. As long as I am chief
of the department, the laws safeguard
ing the property must be observed."
Chief Hannaford admitted that he
had probably been a little more len
ient than other chiefs, but he will not
be in the future. He thought at first
that the ordinance would be observed
without drastic action being taken,
but since it has not been, he feels
that it is his duty to have warrants
issued unless roofs are cleaned of
moss before the middle of next week.
"I explained conditions at the last
meeting of the council," said the
chief, "and was instructed to swear
out warrants when I saw fit It seems
that it will be necessary in at least
a score of cases, and I have decided
to act promptly."

Though the Elks' big parade slight
ly interfered Thursday with the at
tendance at the chautauqua ,a larger
crowd than ever assembled to hear
the famous Chicago Operatic Com
pany in its first of a series of four
concerts Friday afternoon. The work
of the company was superb and ex
ceeded the anticipation of the 2500
chautauqua lovers who have eagerly
awaited their coming since the nine
teenth session began last Tuesday.
Grand opera scenes in costume sung
by a company of well known Ameri
can artists is a novel scheme for
chautauqua assemblies, but the high-
class rendition of solos, duets and
quartets from world , famous operas,
with lighter encores and no small
number of them, met with popular
favor, and a still larger attendance
witnessed their evening entertain
ment
Arthur Middleton, generally recog
nized as the leading basso in the or
atorio," concerto and grand opera work
throughout the country, John B. Mil
ler, one of America's leading tenors,
Rose Lutiger Gannon, contralto, Le
onora Antoinette Allen, soprano and
Edgar A. Nelson, pianist comprise
the all-star company. Their quartet
work was magnificent and this feat
ure of the work alone would be a great
drawing card, but even better were
the solo numbers. Arthur Middleton
not unknown in Oregon, was at his
best in the famous "Toreador" song
throwing his whole soul into the ren
dition, and taking the heavy parts of
the famous number in a way that
thrilled the large audience and made
the whole auditorium ring with ' his
beautiful rich baritone. His encore,
Mother O' Mine" was a most beauti
ful and fitting encore and was render
ed in a most artistic manner. The
tower scene from II Trovatore
brought out most beautifully and ef
fectively the voices of Miss Allen and
Mr. Miller, and the tatter's '111 Sing
Thee Songs of Araby" and "The Bo
hemian Girl" selection more than did
justice to his grand tenor voice. Mrs.
Gannon and Miss Allen are both ar
tists of high ability and maintain the
high standard of Messrs. Middleton
and Miller in every way. Miss Al
len's tone, phrasing and range favor
her with rare gifts for opera work.
Mrs. Gannon's beautiful voice was
brought out particularly In her duet
with Miss Allen in their selection
from "The Kings."
"Back to the Farm" was the theme
that attracted several hundred to the
forum hour in the morning. Repre
sentatives of business, educational
and agricultural interests of the state
consisting of Mr. Lydell Baker, Pro
fessor E. D. Ressler of O. A .C. and
