BERLIN, July 31. -Tokyo's victory over Helsingfors in an ex citing contest for the award of the 1940 Olympics today climaxed a. rapid flow of events prefacing the spectacularly - planned pro gram opening the games of the 11th Olympiad at the Reichsports field tomorrow. The International Olympic com mittee decided by a vote of 36 to 27 in Japan's favor on a secret ballot over Finland. The United States delegates. William May Garland of Los An geles and Avery Brundage of Chi cago, together with a virtually solid block of North and South American countries, plus British empire support, helped clinch the decision for the Japanese. The sideshow aspects and the expressed fear of many athletic chieftains that the games were getting "out of hand" aa well as top-heavy, divided . nationalities Into two distinct camps. Thus Finland acquired support not only .from sources disturbed by such ceremonial pomp as the Berlin games are witnessing but also from Europeans motivated by the political or economic rea sons.' . " ' , V. ."" The glamor, as well as the prac tical terms of Japan's. offer, how ever, outweighed .other consider ations.' - ,.One of the decisive factors li. support of the Japanese bid was an offer of a transportation sub sidy of a million and a half yen (about 9485,000) to offset coats of traveling In the far east.

Ferrell en tered the room when the two convicts suddenly appeared with rifles iik -their -hands and in pos session of revolvers. Ferrell was shot dead. Two other guards out side the! door heard the shot and saw him fall. jThe vo convicts shot through the window of the foundry, kill ing Joies on Post 2. Tiffany, who was on the wall, dropped to th ground In order to get a shot atj the men. and failing in this, wnt outside the wall. Af ter the two men had escaped over thf north wall, they met Tiffany and another guard at the north west corner, forcing the two g 4 r 4 s to surrender. Tiffany threw away his gun and when anbther guard opened fire. Tif fany was slain by the convicts. pearcb for Tracy and Merrill was carried on throughout the northwest for several months, re wards totalling 31500 being of fered for their capture, dead or alive. During the manhunt. Mer rilj sudc enly disappeared. Stories, started by Tracy himself, went arpund that Tracy ,. had killed Merrill. The body that was be lieved to be Ms -was found and shipped I to Salrj, where it was buried as Merrill. Just ihirty-four years ago, the night of -August 6, 1902, the manhunt came to an , end with th4 death of Tracy from a self inflicted bullet wound, after he had -been completely surrounded an . all chances for escape cut off! as he barricaded himself, in a wheatfleld near.
