CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Doings of the World at Large Told in Brief. POLICEMAN WINS MARATHON. Griatost Evant of Olympiad Goes to South Africa, Stockholm* — South Africa, which heretofore has played a modest part in thia Olympic drama, came to the cen ter of the stage at the moment of its culmination, winning the marathon race, the most important number on the Olympic program. This might have been honor enough for a small nation, but South Africa also won sec ond place by a secure lead. The winner of the classical mara thon was K. K. McArthur, a tall Transvaal policeman. His com pat riot, C. W. Gitshaw, came second into the stadium several hundred yards be hind, and third to appear was the American, Graston Strobino, 'of South Paterson Athletic club, who put up a braver fight than most of the runners, for his feet were skinned and bleeding and he was suffering great pain. He never lost his nerve, though, and made a brave attempt at feeling hap py while he traversed the stadium track a furlong behind the second man at the end of the performance. The Americans gave a death blow to the theory that the athletes of the United States are better at contests which require quickness and agility than in tests of endurance. While 3000 spectators in the sta dium strained their eyes toward the archway from under which the runners emerged, they saw the American shield on the breasts of six of the first ten men who entered.

Juarez Tweny-five Americana, in cluding American Consul Edwards, were held in the office of the Mexican Northwestern railway here for nearly two hours while an armetl guard of rebels prevented them from leaving the building. Rebel officials had become angered at the officers of the Mexican North western over a $5000 check payable to the rebels as export duty on a con signment of gold ore by the American Smelting 4 Refining company in Chi huahua. The shipment had arrived In El Paso, but when the rebel* attempt- ed to cash the $5000 check, the banka in El Paso refused payment. After the check was given, the Federal» had entered Chihuahua City and it is be loved that the American Smelting 4 Relining company slopped payment on it, knowing that the rebels, because of their retreat, would be unable to trouble them further. Consul Edwards wont to the North western offices to confer with H. C. Ferris, general manager of the road. Thomas Ryan, traffic manager, and C. T. Carson, general auditor. The offi cials were In «xmference at 5 o'clock when they suddenly found the doors of the building surrounded by armed men. Consul Edwards telephoned for Colonel Pascual Orosco, Sr., head of the garrison, who arrived in a few minutes and ordered the guards to re lease all minor employes. The officers of the road were held. After a brief conference the American consul left, but the railroad officials were closete«! with Orosco until 7 o'clock, when they were release«! and cross<»l to the American side. It was said they had agree«! to make the check good. DENVER HIT BY RAGING FLOOD Two Known Dead and Property Uss In Millions.

The situation in Oregon in relation to the Southern Pacific is one of peculiar interest to myself because the question of what should be done here in respect to de velopments are put up to me. It is on my own recommendation that things are done. In assuming re sponsibility for the large investments and appropriations in Oregon there of course is something to justify iL “The railroad business is the same as all other business conducted on le gitimate lines. The man who puts his money into it ¡must be assured of a reasonable return on his investment, or at least the same return as is real ized from other lines of business. “Money is not placed into railroad projects unless there is a fair prospect of returns on the investent, and for that reason we must have something to go on before we can place the mon ey we have [to spend in development and improvements of railway facili ties. "Our confidence in Oregon is very apparent in our announced intention of making expenditures here. All we ask in return is for the co-operation of your business people to make possi ble the returns which we have to have. It is the ambition of my worthy corps of officials over the Ore gon lines of the company to have the support of every community.” EAST MAIL WRECKS EX PRESS TRAIN, KILLING 13
