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

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.”
