PART II
OLYMPIC GAMES ENDED WITH
AMERICA EASILY IN THE LEAD
SCORES FIFTEEN FIRSTS IN Fl ELD ANJ TRACK EVENTS, TEN
SECONDS AND EIGHT THIRDS
United Kingdom Has Much the Largest Number of Points, but
Most of These Were Gained in Side Issues Contested Early
in the Year, When English Athletes Were
Without Competitors
I);' Associated Press.
LONDON, July 25.—The . Olympic
games were brought to a conclusion
this afternoon, so far as the sports
held in the stadium were concerned,
when Queen Alexandra presented the
gold medals and trophies to the suc
cessful competitors and the dowager
duchess of Westminster, the duchess
of Westminster, the duchess of Rut
land and Lady Desborough handed the
silver and. bronze medals, the diplomas
and the commemorative medals to
* those entitled to them.
A big crowd attended the function
and cheered tho athletes as they came
up to receive their prizes. The Italian
Dorando was honored with the greatest
ovation, the sympathies of the spec
tators going out to the man who had
missed the prize of the Marathon race
when It was just within his grasp.
Before the ceremony of prize-giving
began America captured two events,
the 110-meter hurdles and the 1600
--meter relay, the latter being the last
event on the program. The stars and
Stripes was the national flag that
floated from the mast head. In all
the events concluded since the Olympic
games bs»gan early in the year. Includ
ing such games as water polo and
other sports in which England alone
competed, the present standing of the
Countries, counting wins only, is as
follows: /

and 8 thirds, ln addition to a tie for
second and third in the standing high
jump and a tie for third place in the
pole vault.

11l Feeling Engendered
Thoughtful men in England have
serious doubts, and these doubts are
being: • expressed in some of the most
influential newspapers, as to whether
the Olympic games serve any good pur
pose, although theoretically they are
supposed to foster international friend
ship. The result of the meeting just
finished has been to create internation
al dissensions and kindle animosity.
The relations between the English and
American athletic officials have become
so strained that it will be exceedingly
difficult for the representatives of the
two nations to arrange any competi
tions ln the future or carry them out
without unpleasant Incidents.
All the American officials and ath
letes now here are convinced that the
United States was robbed of the 400
--meter race, while the English public,
at any rate, is equally certain that the
American runners had a prearranged
'plan to keep Halswell out of first place
in the event by fair means or foul.
The ■ London newspapers have com
mented on the case most temperately.
While they have set forth the views
which, the public holds and strongly
sustained the action of the judges, they
have plainly stated that It would be
advisable to let the "unsavory episode"
drop Into oblivion, so that it may be
forgotten by both countries.
Nevertheless it is not likely to be
dropped or forgotten for some time.
The officials of the Amateur Athletic
association have announced that they
proposed to bring the complaint formal
ly to the . attention of the Amateur
Athletic - union regarding Carpenter's
alleged foul, and the officials of the A.
A. U. are resolved to make a strong
reply. * Hence acrimonious correspon
dence Is likely to stir up further feel
ing and thereby prolong the dispute.
Englishmen Are Sore
Despite the conservatism of the press,
the English public is imbued with a
fierce- prejudice against American ath
letes, which it probably will cherish for
years to come. . ,
The Italians feel that they have been
treated' unfairly by the awarding of
the Marathon race to the American,
Hayes; and they will always believe
that there was a possibility that Do
rando would hiive reached the winning
place first alone If he had not been
dragged Ito his feet and pushed along
by the excited track officials, although
practically everyone who saw his strug
gle bellejves It would have been utterly
impossible for him to have arisen after
his, collapse, and that probably he
couldn't have kept up after his second
fall. They also feel that It was un
chivalrous and ungenerous in the Amer
icans to 'claim what the Italians call a
technical victory ,under the circum
stances. { -■ ■"'
The Olympic leaves minor heartburn
ings with the representatives of other
nations and altogether, while a success
as an athletic contest as a means of
promoting friendship It is a deplorable
failure., ■'-, s 1 ; .' '..
In a telegram to President Roosevelt,
James E. Sullivan, American commis
sioner to the games, says: "In the
athletic section of the Olympic games
of ■ 1908 the American representatives
won the championship in track and
field athletics. The Americans won
fifteen out of a possible twenty-seven
firsts, scoring more firsts than the ath
letes of the entire world. On the basis
of five points for firsts, three for sec
onds and one for thirds the Americans'
score Is 114H; that of Great Britain
and Ireland being 64 1-3."
Relations Not Improved
Mr. Sullivan, In speaking this even
ing for the American committee, said:
"The Olympic games have not improved
the friendly relations iof America and
England from an athletic standpoint
The governing bodies will be apart ln
the future. , It Is a pity that the Ama
teur Athletic ' association had control
of the games. It should not have been
necessary for America to have to be
protesting and put in a position where
letters were necessary every day.
It looked as though i officials; of the
Amateur Athletic ; association • wanted
to control everything themselves and
would not take other countries Into
their confidence. They were working
under the old customs and thought
those the best.
"In the first place, the program was
badly arranged. Instead of concluding
one event the officials took up another
race. This prevented men from taking
part in more than one race. They
should have' gone through the heats,
the semi-finals and the final of one race
before starting that of another race.
Then all those competent to enter could
have started. As a matter of fact it
was entirely too big a proposition for
the m^n handling it, and they would
not look anywhere for help.
"I never shall forget as long as I
live the scene during the 400 meters
race. I The public had been inflamed
against the Americans, and the Judges,
taking a signal from some man on the
field, threw up their hands, broke the
tape and called the race 'off before
they knew what had happened. It Is
ridiculous for them to say that they
could see what happened 100 yards
away. If Carpenter had fouled Hals
well the Judges should have albwed
him to finish and then, If the man at
the corner declared a foul, Carpenter
could have been disqualified and the
race should have been given to the
second man, who was Bobbins. Mind
you, I am not admitting any foul. ;*;':
Officials Act Indecently
"Look how Indecently they acted yes
terday. Although the officials them
selves had broken the most Important
rule governing the Marathon race by
helping Dorando, the tape was not
broken and the Italian was allowed to
finish. Dorando should have been
taken from the track and the tape left
for Hayes, £he actual winner, to break.
Plucky marr as DorandO is, Hayes was
a winner under all the rules of racing.
It was inhuman to drive the man
around the track in the condition he
was in and it was unfair to Hayes,
who was robbed of the honor of break
ing the tape
"Then, despite what everybody said
that the Italian had been disqualified
by the actions of the officials, the
judges ordered the Italian Hag to be
hoisted and the stars and stripes placed
under it. As the breach of the rules
was so palpable, we did not protest
until that was done, believing as every
man in the stadium did, that the Judges
would award the race to Hayes. The
Italian flag was hoisted simply to put
us in the unfortunate position of hav
ing to protest.
"I should like to say here that we
have not a word of complaint to make
against Lord Desborough. Busy man
as he was, he showed appreciation of
the effort America had made to send
a team here and he did everything
possible to make us comfortable. He
is the right type of sportsman, of
whom there are plenty in England,
but they have not been ln evidence.
"It is not generally known, but we
had to have one official put off the
arena for coaching the Englisu com
petitors. It was that man who assist
ed Dorando. We should not have been
compelled to take such drastic meas
ures, but as the Amateur Athletic as
sociation would take the step, we had
to do it ourselves to protect our men.
Indeed, we were bo badly treated that
If It had not been for Lord Desborough,
the American team would have been .
taken away from the stadium early in
the week." '„.■;
The American committee lias decided
to present a medal to Dorando.
• When Dorando appeared today he
did not show any signs of the frightful
ordeal through which he went. He
was escorted around the arena by a
number of his compatriots, one of
whom bore an Italian flag. Nowhere
did he receive a greater reception than
when he passed the American stand.
Hayes came back to receive the
Greek trophy for his Marathon victory.
He was accompanied by his team
mates, who carried off the big trophy
on a table.
The other trophies having been pre
sented the crowd rose up and cheered
Queen Alexandra, who retired as the
band played the national anthem.
This was the conclusion of the
fourth revival of the Olympic.

Rail
GREENWICH, Conn., June 25— Chas.
P. Geddes of Smith, Gray & Co., New
York, has arrived in Greenwich, ill with
typhoid fever. He traveled more than
700 miles in an almost dying condition.
Mr. Geddes and several New York
sportsmen were with the Laurentian
club at Lake La Peche, Canada. Mr.
Geddes was suddenly taken seriously
111, and as there was no chance what
ever of obtaining medical aid, his
friends placed him on a stretcher, borne
by eight stalwart Indians, and hurried
him for twenty miles along a rough
trail through I dense forests to Three
Lakes. • * •_.' , :*-
A part of the time he was delirious
and It was feared that he would die
before reaching civilization. »
On the lake shore he was transferred
to a canoe and paddled fifty miles to
the main camp of the club. From a
point near there he was taken by rail
to Montreal.
Dr. Klein of Greenwich and Dr. Dan
forth of New York say that Mr. Ged
des stood the trip ln a most wonderful
manner arid that his recovery Is as^

URGE BEER DRINKING?
NEVER, SAYS PASTOR
Atlantic City Temperance Societies
Think He Advocated Tippling, ■
Although He Says He *
Didn't
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 25.—
Whether or not the Rev. Sydney Good
man, pastor of the Men's church, where
smoking at service Is a feature, declar
ed In favor of moderate beer drlnklnk
in his sermon, will probably be sub
ject of an investigation by members
of the W. C. T. U. and other temper
ance organizations, who are up in
arms over reports that the "new idea"
minister counsels an occasional tipple.
Mr. Goodman admits having spoken
the word* which have aroused such a
storm during the final remarks on
"Self Control," which was the subject
of his discourse, but Insists that the
meaning taken was entirely different
from that intended.
"Beer in moderation hurts no one," Is
the particular sentence which has be
gun the storm.
"During my address I may have said
what Is ascribed to me," he stated,
"but my real meaning was that the
man who is already a moderate drinker
is not necessarily doomed to become a
sot."

YAWPS AND YOWLS
FROM BIDE-A-WEE
Neighbors Complain That Cats and
Dogs Murder Their Sleep at "
Night and Have Recourse
to Police Court -
NEW YORK, July 25.— troop of
women, most of them wearing gay
hats and a determined expression, in
vaded the Yurkville police court yes
terday. Surveying them Magistrate
Barlow, with the wisdom of turn ser
pent, remarked:
' "Ladles, 1 am very busy; you will
be kind enough to go Into an ante
room and give your testimony to my
stenographer. I need not assure you
that 1 shall weigh it carefully." '
For half the women were there to
describe the Blde-a-Wee home lor ani
mals, 36 Lexington avenue, as an In
ferno whose demoniacal denizens mur
der the sleep of humans in the neigh
borhood, make the night hideous and
exhale a perfume not nearly so sweet
as the spices of Araby. -
And the other women, including Mrs.
Nlbbe, president of the home, had come
11 picture the institution as an asylum
where, homeless Tabby ceases from
troubling and starving Fido is at rest.
So the cautious magistrate stood from
under.
William F. Young, a board of health
Inspector, testified first that the board
had received twelve complaints against
the Blde-a-Wee and they were admit
ted in evidence.
"I lost sleep, I lost my appetite and
lost nervous force because of the howl
ing cats and the* yelping dogs in this
so-called home," pathetically said Mrs.
Alma Flather, who looked extremely
well. ■ Mrs. Flather used to live at Mrs.
May Sullivan's boarding house, 134
East Twenty-fourth street, which abuts
the Bide-a-Wee. She said she and her
husband had to move away.
Frances Fessey, whose mother rents
the house to Mrs. Sullivan, said, ln ef
fect, that compared with the Blde-a-
Wee home a menagerie on the rampage
is as still as a cathedral.
There was much more such testi
mony; the hearing was continued; the
friends of the home will have their
inning. ■■-'.-■ - - /': ,

LONG SEARCH FOR HIS
SISTER ENDS IN CAR
Boy from Ireland Finds Her While
■f-ry on Way to Court to Face
a Charge of Va
'" ■ -?^ graney
NEW YORK, July After search,
ing Philadelphia and New York for
his sister Sadie, who came to .this
country several years ago, William
Garvey of Ballycooney, Ireland, found
her among the passengers of a cross
town car In Brooklyn as he was being
taken to a police court on a charge of
vagrancy.
Garvey was found destitute and
hungry. To Magistrate Higginbotham
the lad, who Is 16 years old, said his
sister lived In Philadelphia for a few
years after coming to this country, but
that she moved from there without no
tifying her relatives ln Ireland.
Having saved some money, the boy
decided to come to America and find
his sister. On reaching Philadelphia
he found that she had left for New
York. On arriving here he continued
the search until his money gave out.
Magistrate Higginbotham placed the
boy in thj care of the St. Vlncgnt de
Paul society pending a hearing, and
yesterday morning Father Blake start
ed with him for the court. The two
sat ln a cor, crowded with passengers.
Suddenly the boy jumped from his seat,
and, with a cry of Joy, stopped ln front
of a young woman, threw his arms
■about her neck and kissed her.
"Wlllleftn, what are you doing here?"
she cried, when he stopped kissing her.
Miss Garvey accompanied the priest
and her brother to the court, where
Magistrate Higgnlbotham discharged
the prisoner. ■
COMANCHE TRIBE CHIEF
HEAD OF SCHOOL ROARD
Quanah Parker, Long Leader of Sav
age Indians, Is Chosen President
of District In Lawton,
Oklahoma
LAWTON, Okla., July 25.—'TIs a far |
cry from the painted, bloodthlrtsy
savage chief • of the Comanches, j
slaughtering women and children, to
that of the president of a school board,
yet this cry is sounded by no less a
person that Quanah Parker, Indian I
chief, and one time enemy of the white ,
man. The chief has been elected presi- j
dent of the Parker school district j
school board, which he formed last i
spring. At the same time his son, a j
graduate of the Carlisle Indian school,
has been chosen a teacher ln one of the !
schools of the district. The property i
qn which the son's school Is located i
was donated by the chief. •
Quanah Parser's mother was a white
woman, taken prisoner when a child j
by the present chief's father. . The
child grew to womanhood among the I
Comanches, then * wild, wandering, I
bloodthirsty tribe, roaming the plains i
of Texas. The chief made her . his '
squaw and she bore him the' son, |
Quanah Parker. Not . long after she j
went back to her white people, but the
Indian life had gained too strong a
hold upon her to remain, and she re
turned to her tepee and her chief, the
father of her son. She lived with the
tribe until her death. „
Chief Quanah Parker shows no signs
of having been the bloodthirsty sav
age of former years, when .he com
manded his tribe at the battle of Adobe
Walls. He is benign, kindly and digni
fied. He is not only the chief of his
own people, but is one of the most in
telligent, clear-thinking men ln Okla
homa, keenly alive to the questions
whleh are foremost. in the new state,
but always Jealously guarding the In
terests of his own people. ■» ;,-.,.'-'

CHIMPANZEE IS HERO
*l 7 OF CROWDS AT THE ZOO
Real Jungle Ape, Direct from Africa,
Is the First One Seen In Six
Years— He's Exceed-'
ingly Glum .
PHILADELPHIA, July 25.—Z00 vis
itors seemed to have gone out to the
place yesterday Just to see the latest
arrival In the monkey house. Koko,
the chimpanzee, 2 years old, direct
from the Jungles of Africa.
Koko enjoys the distinction of being
the only chimpanzee at the zoo. In
fact they have not haTany such speci
men of the higher ape at the monkey
house for six years. Of course there
Is the gibbon, "Bobby Spooks," but he
Is a different type of dandified monkey.
To top off Koko's standing at the
zoo he has been placed in the partition
known as the conservatory. There,
under a cover of clear glass, he gets
the careful attention of Keeper James
McCrossen, and he's quite a curiosity.
"Where's the chim?" all the small
boys were asking Keeper McCrossen
yesterday, as they entered the monkey
house. But in spite of all this noto
riety and of the fact that the crowd
hovered close to his cage from i early
'until late Koko was glum.
"What's th' matter with him?" asked

. Let Her Marry Sixth
: . . Time,
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 25.—Be
cause it Is to the Interest of the pub
lic that she should no longer have the
right to remarry, Mrs. Hannah Begin,
five times . married and five times di
vorced, champion grass widow of Min
nesota, has reached the end of her
matrimonial rope. . ,
In an order filed Judge Brooks of the
Hennepin county district court granted
Mrs. Begin a divorce from her fifth
husband, but the divorce Is limited and
the right to remarry is denied the
woman. . '.
In his findings Judge Brooks holds
that a decree of limited divorce will
grant Mrs. Begin every right which
she would acquire from an absolute
separation, except only the right to re
marry, the further exercise of which,
says Judge Brooks, would not be likely
to prove beneficial to either her or the
public.
Mrs. Begin is 42. years old and did
not begin her matrimonial career until
she was 26 years old. In sixteen years
she has been led to the altar five times
and ln fourteen years she has been di
vorced five times. * '/

QUARANTINE THIRTY TOWNS 7
TO AVERT HYDROPHOBIA
New York State Authorities Take
Vigorous Steps to Avert
an Epidemic of
Rabies
ALBANY, July 25.—Thirty towns of
the state are under quarantine for
rabies, or hydrophobia, according to
Raymond A. Pearson, state commis
sioner of agriculture.
i "Officials of the department," Mr.
Pearson said today, "have never known
of such a serious outbreak of rabies as
at present. Similar conditions exist in
other parts of the country, as in the
case of Washington, where a rabies
quarantine was established a few days
ago at the request of President Roose
velt." . .
Commissioner Pearson has prepared
a circular to be issued by the depart
ment for protection from rabies, which.
It is declared. Is one of the easiest of
the communicable diseases to suppress.
"Under the state law," Mr. Pearson
says "the commissioner of agriculture
Is charged with the ' responsibility of
suppressing rabies, and a definite
course of procedure ln case of an out
break has been established. Suspected
cases of rabies must be reported to the
commissioner by local health officers.
The' affected animal Is killed and its
brain examined. Usually this is done
at the state veterinary college at Cor
nell university. .'■'''
"When the diagnosis positively shows
rabies a quarantine is'established. All
dogs must then be muzzled or confined,
and if any one is found muzzled and
running free in a quarantine district its
owner is liable to heavy penalty, and
it may be killed by any person."
