OLYMPIC CIRCLE IS FORMED
American Athletes Wlio Competed at
London Its Members.
x-Pv YORK. Sent. 1. With Presl
dent Roosevelt as honorary member
and James E. Sullivan, president oi ine
Amateur Athletic Union, as honorary
president, the members of the 1908
Olympic team organized yesterday. The
plan to hold an annual reunion of the
members or trie American uram uu
keen In contemplation for several
weeks, but it was not until after the
athletes paid their visit to Oyster Bay
that the organization was enectea.
A meeting was held on the steamboat
Sagamore on the return journey rrom
Sagamore Hill, when Harry F. Porter,
of the Irish-American Athletic Club,
was selected s acting chairman, and
"Matty" Halpln, of the New York Ath
letic Club, secretary. .It was decided
to hold an annual dinner in the city
where the senior Amateur Athletic
Union championships are scheduled.
The dinner will be held either on the
night of the championships or the
evening preceding.
The object of the organization is to
' keep alive the memory of the Olympics
of 1908. and help In every way the
cause- of athletics and to promote the
spirit among athletes that helped the
1908 team to victory in the London
Olympic games.
The services of "Mike" Murphy, the
coach of the American Olympic team,
and "Matty" Halpln. the manager, are
not to go unrewarded. The members
of the Olympic team .have planned to
present each with a sliver loving-cup.
The general feeling is that Murphy
was in a large measure responsible for
.many of the victories gained abroad
through his training, while Halpln's
work as manager is to receive proper
recognition.
Barlow S. Weeks and Gus T. Klrby
were elected honorary members, as
we're Murphy and Halpjn. A commit
tee consisting of Earl Ewry. G. G. Bon
ney. Harry Hlllman. Jr., and Charles S.
Bacon was appointed to draw up plans
for a permanent organization and to
send out ballots for a vote for officers.
Wright's Motor Heats.
LEMAN'S. Sept. 1. Wilbur Wright,
the American aeroplanist, made an en
durance test with his motor today. At
the end of two hours he found it heat
ed, and this afternoon devoted his time
to making examinations of the Bolle
motor.
BID ON FAST CRAFT
shipbuilders Prolmse Record-Break
Ing Destroyers.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1. Shipbuild
ers and their representatives to the
number of ralf a hundred gathered at
the Navy Department today to witness
the opening of bids for the construc
tion of the ten torpedo-boat destroy
ers authorized by Congress at a cost
not to exceed JS00.000 each, and for the
acquisition of three colliers not to ex
ceed $025,000 each. Bids for the torpedo-boats
were submitted under the
Government plans for hull and ma
chinery and also proposing that the
."builders install their own designs of
machinery. All the proposals made
were at a figure considerably below
the Congressional limit.
If the bids are found to conform to
the specifications awards may be made
this week, as the Navy Department is
anxious that work shall begin on the
vessels as soon as possible. It is
likely, in the opinion of the respon
sible officials, that each of the firms
making bids will get a contract, as
the law contemplates that no firm
shall be given an award for more
than three vessels.
A notable feature was the offer of
various Arms to construct high-speed
destroyers, proposals of this character
being made under the class permitting
bidders to Install their own machinery
designs. Proposals to furnish vessels
of 30 and up to 33 knots per hour
were made.
In the collier class the Maryland
f"teel Company made the lowest ten
ders for the vessels provided for by
Congress of 7200 tons each.
Five firms submitted bids for the con
struction of the destroyers under the Gov
ernment designs for the hull and ma
chinery. They Included the following:
The Bath Iron Works, two vessels at
1644.000 each.
The New York Shipbuilding Company of
Camden. N. J., two vessels at $t65.000 each.
William Cramp Sons. Philadelphia, two
vessels, at $k9.oro each.
The Maryland Steel Company, two ves
rela at 3708,300 each, and three vessels at
JTW.Sno each.
The Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry
dock Company, two vessels at 3630.000
each.
All these bids contemplate vessels hav
ing a speed of IS'i knots.
Several bids also were made to con
struct the vessels under the Government
hall and equipment, but bidders designs
of machinery. These Include the Balh
Iron Works, which proposed to build two
ships of 7J8 tons, with a speed of 40
knots, at 3597.000 each, or two of SW4 knots
of Tu tons displacement for 3664.000 each.
The Fore River Shipbuilding Company
submitted five bids under this class, two
of 33 knots for 3665.000 each, two of 33
knots at 3638,000 each, two of 32 knots at
3638.000 each, two of 28H knots at 3610,000
each and two of Vi knots at 3624,000
each.
The New Tork Shipbuilding Company
offered to construct two vessels with the
bidder's design of machinery. 30H knots
at $885,000 each. William Cramp Sons,
two of 30 knots at $664,000 each, and the
Newport News Company two of 31 knots
at $684,000 each.
For the colliers William Cramp Sons
offered three vessels of 7620 tons each for
$523,000 each. The New York Shipbuilding
Company three vessels of 7200 tons at
$570,000; the Newport News Company three
vessels of similar tonnage at $524,000 each;
the Maryland Steel Company three vessels
of 7200 tons each under class one at
$479,600 each, and under claBS, two three
vessels at $498,600 each.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. The recent
agitation In Washington over the Early
leprosy case, and in Arizona over the
case of Mrs. Wardwell, who was simi
larly afflicted, will, it is believed by offi
cials of the public health and marine
hospital service, lead to a renewed effort
to obtain the establishment at some place
In the United States of a National lepro
sarium tor the Isolation and treatment of
leprosy. An effort to obtain legislation
looking to this end, which was supported
by many members of the medical fra
ternity firougnout the country, was made
by the service in 1905 and a bill pro
viding for such an Institution received
favored reports in noth houses or con
cress.
It failed of parage largely because' of
objections from localities in which It was
contemplated the leprosarium should be
located. The bill did not name any state
or territory but simply provided that
some abandoned military or naval reserva
tion should be used. It was understood.
however, that the authorities had New
Mexico in mind, as the most desirable
location and the delegate from that ter
ritory was not slow in making known the
opposition of his constituents to such a
move.
If the question of legislation should
again arise, the health bureau will be
prepared to supply all the statistics ana
arguments necessary to aid In procur
ing proper consideration for such a bill.
The statistics, however, are no nearer to
the present time than 1901. In that year
a commission composed of surgeons con
nected with the bureau made a thorough
Investigation into the question of leprosy
in the United States, finding at that time
there were 278 cases in the whole country
and they were scattered through 21 states.
Of the states Louisiana, led the list with
15S cases, or mora than half the entire
number. California and Florida followed
with 24 cases. Of all these cases only
72 were Isolated The commission was
clearly of the opinion that Its reports
did not cover all the cases and the
opinion was expressed that many of them
were purposely hidden.
COLD ill DAMPENS ARDOR
DETRACTS FROM FLEET RECEP
TION IX MELBOURNE.
Football Game Played Despite
Downpour Admiral Sperry Re
ceives on Board Flagship.
MELBOURNE. Sept. I. Adverse
weather conditions and a disposition
on everyooay s part to lane inings
easy after - yesterday's strenuous pro
gramme combined to make today an
off day in the way of special entertain
ment of the officers and men ot the vis
iting American battleship fleet.. The
rain which began falling last night,
cutting short the merrymaking of the
memorable celebration in honor of the
visitors' arrival here, continued during
the night, and this morning the city
and its guests awoke to the prospect
of a dull, damp day. Notwithstanding
the unfavorable weather outlook, how
ever, large parties from the battleships
came ashore early.
The men prepared to make the best
of their shore leave and to attend such
functions as had been arranged for the
day. It is estimated that 600.000 per
sons witnessed yesterday s procession.
The railways alone carried 400,000 to
the scene of tlio festivities.
Rain fell steadily all the afternoon.
but the streets of Melbourne were
thronged with pleasure-seekers. Over
3000 men of the fleet came ashore and
fraternized with the people.
Several football matches were played.
Teams from New South Wales, Queens
land. South Australia, West Australia
and New Zealand gave an exhibition
of the game as played in Australia,
fter which teams from the battleships
Kentucky and Minnesota took the field.
The Americans played a tie, neither
side scoring.
Fully 1500 people attended the re
ception given by Admiral Sperry on
board the flagship Connecticut and the
gathering was a brilliant one. Sir
Thomas Gibson-Carmichael, the Gov
ernor of Victoria. Lady Carmlchael and
Alfred Deakin, Prime Minister of the
Commonwealth, were among the guests.
In the afternoon the Lord Mayor of
Melbourne gave a reception to meet
the Admirals and the senior officers
of the American fleet at the town hall.
The Free Masons gave welcome to 600
visitors.
This evening the Royal Yacht Club
gave a dinner in honor of the senior
officers of the fleet. Prime Minister
Deakin made a speech on the question
of Australian defense, in the course
of which he said -that the American
battleships' visit to Australia meant the
awakening of the Australian people.
The usual brlllatu illuminations in
the city and in the harbor were re
peated tonight. The rain Is proving a
damper to the festivities.
CARRY VERMONT BY 28,000
(Continued From First Pace.)
ity Is estimated at 28,000, compared with
Bell's plurality of 31.617 in 1904.
The voters were urged to support the
Republican ticket by speakers of National
importance, who stumped the state dur
ing the past two weeks. On the other
hand, the Democrats fought the battle
alone. James K. Burke, of Burlington,
formerly known as the "Blacksmith
Mayor" of that city.' who headed the
ticket having only local talent in his sup
port. Although Burlington went Repub
lican on the state ticket, it was strongly
Democratic when it came to the Repre
sentative fight.
M G. Leary.- Democratic candidate for
Representative, defeated Lawrence Bart-
ley. Republican, by a majority of 366.
The next Legislature win maia
follows: Senate Republicans. 29; Demo
crats 1. House Republicans. 210; Demo
crats, 30: Independence League, 6.
At a late hour tonight Prouty claims
bis election over Burke by 30,000 votes.

CAPTAIN LOSES HIS POST
Master of Pennsylvania Objects to
. Manager Giving Orders.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 1. (Spe
cial.) Captain Frederick Warner was
In command of the steamship Pennsyl
vania .this morning when she sailed
for Valdez Instead of Captain John F.
Blaln. who has commanded the vessel
ever since he brought her around the
horn aeveral years ago. The cnange
of masters was due. it is stated, to
the fact that Frank E. Burns, manager
of the Alaska Steamship Company, in
sisted on giving orders aboard the
vessel.
The Bhip was due to sail at 10 o'clock
and a few minutes before sailing time
Captain Blain learned that Burns had
given some orders to the ship's car
penter to be carried out whilp at sea.
He went to Burns and asked him to
withdraw the orders, saying that the
interests of discipline aboardship re
quired that all orders to the crew
come from the captain. He also re
quested that the wireless station
aboard be moved from its present loca
tion, as it affected the ship's compasses.
Burns refused both to withdraw his
orders to the carpenter and to move
the wireless station.
Captain Blain told Burns that while
he would take the Pennsylvania out
this trip he would not do so again un
less he should be the only one to give
orders to the crew. Burns notified
him that he need not take the ship out
today and Captain Warner, port super
intendent of the company, was sent
for.
Captain Blain wired Saturday declin
ing a position as inspector of Govern
ment boats building at Portland for
the quartermaster's department, but
It Is thought possible that now he may
take the place.

STRAUS APPROVES ACTION" ON
MORMON" IMMIGRANTS.
Exclusion Based on Belief In Po
lygamy, Though Utah Senators
Fear Religion Involved.
WASHINGTON, Sept. L Secretary
Straus today approved the action of the
local Immigration officials at Boston In
the so-called Mormon cases, wherein a
number of immigrants were held up on
the allegation of entering the country
in violation of law. Mr. Straus said
that the two cases of exclusion were
on the grounds, as to one. of admission
of belief in polygamy, and as to the
other, of physical and other reasons. A
number of other cases have been held
up for further Investigation.
Lively interest has been taken in
these cases, on account of the question
of Mormonlsm, but Mr. Straus said that
the decision in all of them was wholly
regardless of the question of Mormon
religion; that the question of polygamy
was one specifically provided for by
law, and that his action in the matter
followed the plain provisions of the
statutes.
Senator Smoot had a conference with
the Secretary on the subject, and Sen
ator Sutherland and Governor Cutler,
of Utah, have telegraphed to the de
partment, expressing their views and
desire for the treatment of the immi
grants without regard to the religion

MORE WANTED FOR ARMY
Tells Students at Fort Leavenworth
They Must Learn to Be Gen
erals No Cloud of War
on Horizon.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Sept. 1. Secre
tary of War Luke E. Wright attended
the opening session here this morning
of the Fall term of the Army Service
School. The school was formally opened
by General Frederick Funston, the new
commandant, who introduced the Secre
tary to the student officers. Mr. Wright
was at the school for over half an hour.
He expreesed the hope that Congress will
authorize a larger list of officers for the
Army in order to enable the Army to take
care of many duties devolving upon it
outside of ordinary garrison duty. Mr.
Wright, in the course of his remarks,
said:
We are forced to come In contact, for
commercial reasons If for no other, with
other p.ople. We must In some degree
prepare tor war, whlnh, If not probable, is
possible. The American people are gen
erally opposed to a large standing Army,
but 'we should have a large number of
highly trained officers who are capable of
moulding an Army and who can do it
properlv. We have a great National
strength It is Impossible to overestimate
our strength, but we should have officer!
trained to organize and handle It.
You men who receive this education are
not expected to be officers of squadrons
and battalions In case of war; you are ex
pected to command as Colonels and Gen
erals Those of you who know about wars
can realize that there will be less of waste
loss if you have brain at the top.
t'nless we are prepared for war, we might
suffer frightfully in blood mnd treasure at
the beginning, but we would win In the
end There Is no cloud on the horizon, but
it is the unexpected that often happens.
Major-General Bell also addressed the
students. The Secretary's party departed
this afternoon for Fort Riley.
