(I'nllrd Prcw Lencd Wirt.) London, July 18. The first week of the Olympic games has ended, with even Olymplo records broken and one of the worst athletic musses lmagln able stirred up. The press bureaus have bit at a big fake. The English are said to be hard los- era. "Hard" la not expressive enough, When It comes to "beefing," welch ing," and the Jealousy with which ha guards his athletic prowess, John Hull has the universe beaten. Having lost nearly every athletic honor to Americans within the last decade, the Britishers apparently frameii nn this Olvmnlc contest with the determination of refraining some of the prestige, even If they had to use a sandbag and skeleton key. Briefly stated, the Engllah viewpoint Is that a contest In fancy shoe-lacing should count for as much ns the shot put, and an exercise In Delsarte for as much as a 100-meter dash In determin ing Olympic athletic supremacy. Archery contosts, fancy ' driving and racquets are all right providing there Is not anything else, but the hundreds of athletes who have gathered here from all over the world brought their athletic toga along and forgot their tea gowns. Indignantly they are asking, "What'a the use?" Yankees Are Tooled. When the Yankees first tackled the brace game an prepared by the Olymplo association thev were as huffy as a lot of Kngllsh suffragettes, but the more they think of it the more humorotiB It appears to them, nnd their character istic good nature has. returned. "Iet them figure up the points any way they want to." sold one of the prominent American athletes tonight, "we will win the big events, and that is all we came over for. We'll give them the mollycoddle championship nnd take the athletic championship ourselves." Hereafter the Aiu.crli.-iin athletes will result the imputation that they are "Muslim" of the British "sports." Tug-of-War Parce. The richest tiling of the week was the t ug-of-wnr, in which a bunch of armor shod Liverpool Bobbies outpullod the American team. The first if: r 1 crowd of the week came ijuit this afternoon, nearly fi.000 of the nscnts being filled. Queen Alexandra be tfing present. American athletes :rnd spectators cheered li'-r repeatedly and she bowed in response, James E. Sullivan, president of the A. A.

SSSl Stanley Ketchel's Great Punch That Has Won Many Fights. - : 1 , Eight Specific Charges Taken for What They Are Worth, Implicating Haywood and Fcttibone A Long Chapter of Crime Revealed. (United Preti Leased Wire.) Denver, Colo., July 18. The famous confession made by Steve Adams, the Western -F ederatlonlst, while In the penitentiary in Idaho, to Supt. McPart land, of the Plnkertons, and which was refused as evidence at Adams' murder trial at Grand Junction, Colo., for the murder of Mine Superintendent Collins, of Telluride, was made public for the first time tonight. The confession Is ln eight sections, each relating to a different crime. Taken for what is :s worth, the con fessions forms as interesting a human document as that of llarrv Orchard, who Is now serving a life sentence In the penitentiary at Boise, Idaho., for the murder of cx-G jvcrnor Steunenberg. The confessions relate to the murder of ' Steunenberg. the killing of Tyler and Boule In northern Idaho, for which Haywood and Pettlbone, he says, gave him zin' Confession No. 3 relates to the mur der of two non-union men at Telluride named Smith and Barney. Confession No. 4 tells of the beating up of "old man" Stuart at the Vindi cator mine, in Cripple Creek. Confession No. 6 gives the details of the explosion in the Vindicator shaft when Mccormick and Beck were killed Adams says this job was done by Harry urcnaro ami nmy AlKman. Confession No. fi tolls of the murder of J)e tec live l.yto Gregory in Denver, Pettlbone, Adams says, ordered this murder. Confession No. 7 refers to the mur der of Mine Superintendent Martin Gleason at Cripple Creek. Adams says this murder was done by Arthur Bas ton and Edward Minster, and that the latter got J1.000 and a piano for his part or me jon. Confession No. 8 tells of the Inde pendeme depot explosion In the Cripple Confession No. 2 tells of the murder Creek district, in which 13 non-union of Superintendent Collins. ' men were killed. WAITER TO BE BASIS OF INTERESTING DECISIONS Has the municipal Judge, acting as a Justice of the pence, authority to sen tence a man to six months In Jail upon conviction on t lie charge of assault and battery? Should a prisoner In jail who socks freedom through a writ of habeas cor pus in the circuit court be required to pay $11 filing fees before his petition is considered ? These are knotty questions pro pounded to Circuit Judge O'Day yester day in the closing hours of his occu pancy of the bench. Because his term was to expire at midnight, .nnd he had not time to go into tile problems fully, the court declined tc order the petition filed unless the fees asked by the clerk were forthcoming, but offered to Issue a writ of habeas corpus, returnable to morrow, if the $11 were paid. Tomor row Circuit Judtre E. C. Bronaugh will he presiding judge, and the questions will come up before him for decision. Two PUEEleri. The puzzling questions were raised by an application for a habeas corpus writ In behalf of of W. M. Wcrley, a colored waiter sentenced by .Ivdge VanZante for assault upon his wife. Apparently the Judge overlooked an amendment to the statute, which provides that the punish ment for assault and hattery in such a case shall be a fine of from $n to $50. It is on this point lhar tt is expected to gain liberty for the prisoner, who was ordered to serve six mouths in Jail. orley is not hiessed with an over plus of wealth, and his attorney ob jected to paying the $11 filing fee. He contended that this amounts to an ob struction of the habeas corpus writ, which has long been held the refuge of the poor and oppressed when they are Illegally restrained. The courts have often held that no Impediments shall be placed in the way of this writ. and it is argued that it should be as free as the air if it serves its purpose fully. Judge O'Day said that on general principles, without having made an ex amination of the question, he would think fees should not be required in such a case. But lie had before him a rule adopted about four years ago by the circuit judges of that day requir ing $11 to bo paid by applicants ror a writ ot linoeas corpus. Partial Solution. Judge O'Day said he would not re verse this rule without a careful ex amination, nnd this lie would not hava time to make in the lew hours remain ing to him to serve. So he suggested that tho fees be paid under protest, or that the whole question be taken up before the new presiding judge tomor row. Werley's attorney chose the lat ter alternative. The order requiring the payment of fees was signed by Judges Clt-land, Sears, Geoitse and Frazer. At the time It was made the courts were burdened with a great number of applications for habeas corpus writs, attorneys who had clients convicted in the lower court rushing into the circuit court Imme diately afterward in the hope that some flaw could be found to turn them loose. The fee requirement cut out a large proportion of these cases, most of which proved to have no merit mid only con sumed the time of t lit; higher court to an annoving degree.
