London. July 24. John F. Hayes
of the Irish-American Athletic club
of New York, was declared winner of
the Marathon race this afternoon by
the Judges, who upheld the protest
against Dorando of Italy, who
crossed the line first.
Hefferon of South Africa was
given second place and Forshaw of
the Missouri Athletic club third.
It was proved to the satisfaction
of the judges that Dorando was as
sisted across the finish lino.
The finish of the Italian's great
run was dramatic. He fell five
times in the last stages of the race
and each time was lifted to his feet
and urged on by his friends. The
fifth time ho fell directly In front of
the royal box and Queen Alexandra
rose and waved encouragement to
him. lie then .was within 10 yards
of the tape. ...flls friends rushed to
him, gave him brandy, lifted him to
his feet and literally pushed him
over the finish line, where he then
fell In a dead faint.
He soon was revived and, support
ed by Hayes, Hefferon and Forshaw,
was led to the royal box, where he
was introduced to the queen.
Soon after it was announced that
the Judges had declared Hayes the
winner of the great race, a protest
was filed against him on the charge
that he too received aid at one
point near the finish.

John Mitchell, the great conservative
head of the labor movement of the
United States and president of the
United Miuewoikei a. Is the man who
penned and whose influence and
straightforward common sense argu
ment secured the adoption of tht antl
lnjunction plank in the Democratic
platform at tho national convention In
Denver. Samuel Gompers, to whom the
anti-injunction plank has been credited
throughout the United States, was not
its originator.
This la tlve new Bldelight thrown on
the work of the great convention which
nominated William Jennings Hryan as
the choice of the Democratic party, by
Judge Alex Sweok, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
who has just returned from his attend

Mitchell's Forceful Argument.
Gompers carne to Denver with an en
tire platform, preamble and all. In his
pocket, says Judge Sweek, and for prac
tically an hour addressed the committee
on platform In an effort to have his
declaration of principles adopted as the
platform of the convention.
John Mitchell came to the convention,
says Judge Sweek, with his anti-injunction
plank In his pocket and took not
much more than five minutes In pre
senting it to the committee. So forceful
were his remarks, and so replete with
hard sense, that his plank was chosen
and the compilation of Gompers was not
used in the construction of the docu
ment which outlines the policies and
beliefs of the Democratic party.
"Mr. Gompers." said Judge Sweek In
itlscnsKlriir his exnerlences at the con
ventlon this morning, "came with his
platform preamble and all, before the

Quebec, July 24. The most mag
nificent scene ever witnessed In Can
ada was presented today on the
Plains of Abraham, when the Prlnco
of Wales reviewed 15,000 Canadian
troops and 10,000 sailors in the
grand military pageant.
Practically the entire population
of Quebec was present and In ad
dition there were thousands of vis
itors and tourists from all parts of
the world.
The scene was enlivened and made
gay by the appearance of hundreds of
persons attired In the historic dress of
the time of the early days of Quebec
There were countless frilled aid ruf
fled dandles, with all the finery of the
gayest court. There were countless fur
clad trappers of the early !,ivs. m.uir
cowled priests with heavy rosarb-s nrl
sandaled feet, and all through th" crow 1
were brightly painted Indians in bril
liant blankets and resplendent war bon
nets. With the soldiery and the crow I s
and the merry-makers, the picture a
unparalleled.
Population Turns Out.
When the prince emerged from hl
?uarters at the f'ltadel this morning h-
ound the streets prartcaIlv deserted,
nearly eery on having left the city
early in the morning for the Plains
Accompanied bv Txrd Roberts, Karl
Orey, VW-ITeslder t Filrbnks and
many other notables, the royal party i the expenditure of Jiiv..ifm
proceeded to the scene of the celebra
tion, where they were greeted with
prolonged clircrs
One of the unloio features of the
military pageant was the participation
of representatives of all the different
tribes of Canadian Indians. It was
hard to realize that this little band of
braves represented the remaining
strength or the mighty horde which
once held the balance of power on this
same battlefield.
Soldiers Popular.
The Canadian soldiers' were the most
popular of all these taking part in the
parade nnd were given a continual ova
tion. After the review the prince dedi
cated the yuct.ee battlefields and then
returned to t!e Citaael, lo prepare for
the grand official ball which will be
held tonight at the Parliament house.
The American visitors nre being rv-
allv entertained and have been shown
eery courtesy, with the result that
they have enjoyed every minute of the
tercentenary celebration.

New York, July 24. Richard
Crocker, former chieftain of Tam
many, will return from Ireland In
the fall but denies that he will ac
tively participate In the presidential
campaign, though he hopes Bryan
will win, according to a special. cajile
message to the New York World
today.
In an Interview given but at hla
home at Glencalrn, Croker Bald:
'TVell, Bryan Is a good man and tha
party ought to win. But who la this
man Kern? I suppose I'll find a lot
of strange names when I get back."
When he was told who Kern la, and
what he has done, he said:
"He's from Indiana? Well, fee can
land that state."
Then the old chieftain drifted Into
a general discussion of politics, and,
removing his pipe from his mouth,
continued:
"Yes, the Republican party has been
In power too long. What sort of men "
have you got over there today? There's
Roosevelt. He Is the right kind for
writing books, but we don't want any
more of that sort of presidents,
"He knows only one thing:. He don't
know the top and the bottom man.
the man who shoots craps on the cor
ner and the man who plays bridge at
the club. He knows only himself and
his sot, and that is all. D'ye see?
Croker, in talking of the present
conditions in New York state, declared
that Governor Hughes belongs to the
Salvation army. In this connection he
said:
"It is human nature to gamble. Ufa
Is a gamble.".
He declared that King Edward Is
the most popular man In Christendom,
saying:
"If there were an election for
president of tho world- King Edward
would be chosen, because he Is broad
and he knows the whole game. He
is an all-round gentleman and enjoys
a fair game. He understands the poor
tipster In the two-bob ring as well as
he understands the rich.
Speaking of tho conditions In Ire
land today and the fight being, waved
for home rule, Croker resented tha In
timation that tho Irish people war
severely oppressed, and declaYed:
"No. sir, there is more actual free
dom In Ireland today than there Is in
New York." .
