Dan O’Leary, the champion walker,
had Denver Ed Smith out for a fourteen
mile run on the macadamized roads yes
terday morning early. On their return to
the city a fast run through the town of
iWoodlawn attracted attention, and some
one, thinking that they were fleeing from
Justice, gave a cry of alarm, which
(brought out Constable McDaniel and a
number of other officials.
The athletes were called on to halt,
hut they did not hear the command, and
kept up the rapid pace. Several warning
revolver shots, however, stopped them,
and in a few minutes an explanation fol
lowed, which put the laugh ..on the con

J. F. Harris Suspended.
Chicago, Dec. 12—J. F. Harris, who,
under the name of J. F. Harris & Co.,
conducts the extensive grain business of
J. Kennett, Hopkins & Co., was today
suspended from the Chicago board of
trade for two years on the charge of car
rying on an outside business with illegit-.
imate traders, contrary to the rules of
the board. Harris is a member of the
firm of Kennett, Hopkins & Co. His sus
pension leaves the firm without >a repre
sentative on the Chicago board. It is
claimed by those best informed that the
firm can still do business In Chlca'go.
There Is a rule of the board which
seems to prevent other members from
helping those who have been put under
the ban. It declares that any members
suspended shall not be allowed the use of
the clearing house settlement or delivery
room, and that he shall not be permitted
to trade upon the floor of the exchange
cither through nn employe or a broker.
The taking of evidence occupied but a
short time, Harris conducting his own
case, but offering no evidence. The
prosecuting committee made a hard fight
to get Harris’ sentence fixed at five
years, the time given Kennett, but the
(board took Into consideration the fact
that the former was the Junior member
of the firm and in a certain degree not
responsible for Its actions to the same
CKtent as the older members and insisted
upon the two years’ sentence.

AHLWARDT, ANTI-SEMITE.
Only a Handful of People Turned Out to Hear
Him—He Was Interrupted and
Egged.
New York, Dec. 12.—Hector Ahlwardt,
the anti-semite, spoke al Cooper union
this evening on "The Essence of Modern
Judaism.'' Only a handful of people
gathered to hear the famous "Jew bait
er.” There were just about as many
policemen in uniform in the hall as there
were spectators. There were a few Jews
present. Ahlwardt said that the inquiry
to be made was why the poor were be
coming poorer and the rich richer. There
was an interruption at this point and
Ahlwardt asked that he be not inter
rupted. Continuing he said that he would
draw the difference between the Aryan
and Semitic races.
“There is," he said, "in every one of the
Aryan race the love of labor. The Ary
an races stand on the ground of labor,
and while from this they are not free
from all evil, yet at least the foundation
is good.”
At this point there was an unexpected
Interruption. A young man directly in
front of Ahlwardt rose in his seat and
threw two missiles at him. They both
missed, but as they struck the stage it
was evident they were eggs. In a minute
the place was in an uproar. A dozen
policemen swooped down on the offender
and he was hustled out.
Ahlwardt said this exhibition was
probably as good as a lecture. It showed
a characteristic of the Jew. “Had this
been an Aryan,” he said, "at least he
would not have missed.”
With the Aryan labor was a demand
of nature. The Jews, however, looked
upon labor as a curse, and always sought
to throw the labor question on the shoul
ders of the Aryan.
.. Taking another tack, Ahlwardt said
he did not want to attack the religion
of the Jews.
“The Jew can build all the synagogues
he desires. If he does not eat pork it is
none of our business; in fact, it Js a mat
ter of congratulation, as he leaves us
something he does not grasp for.”
Ahlwardt then spoke of the Old Testa
ment; of Moses and the passage of the
Jews out of Egypt. He was frequently
interrupted.
In conclusion he stated that the blood
of the Aryan race was running out
through a great wound. The money was
going into the coffers of the capitalists,
and, while these were not all Jews, it
was the Jewish influence that was over
all.
In answer to the invitation that he
would hear anyone who wanted to de
bate with him, two men in. the audience
made short speeches, to which Ahlwardt
replied, and the meeting came to an end.
The policemen ranged themselves around
the hall, and order was preserved. Ahl
wardt was taken out the back way and
quietly spirited away. _

General Lee’s Frankness.
San Francisco Argonaut.
Early In the war, before Lee had dem
onstrated his preeminence as the south
ern leader, he was severely criticised on
more than one occasion by a certain Gen
eral Whiting. Whiting had stood at the
head of his class at West Point and was
considered a very bright and capable
man. One day President Davis, wish
ing an officer for some important com
mand, cqlled upon General Lee for ad
vice. “What do you think of Whiting?"
asked Davis. Lee answered without hes
itation, commending Whiting ns one of
the ablest men in the army, well qualified
In every' way for even the most responsi
ble position. One of the officers present
was greatly surprised and at the flr^t op
portunity drew Lee aside. “Don’t you
know what unkind things Whiting has
been saying about you?” he inquired.
Lee’s answer was of the best. "I under
stood," he said, "that the president de
sired to know my opinion of Whiting, not
Whiting’s opinion of mew”

Butterine is a much abused product.
As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet,
wholesome, and infinitely preferable to
ordinary country butter. A special
correspondent of this paper recently
visited the factory owned and operated
by the Armour Packing Co., of Kansas
City, manufacturers of the widely ad
vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A
five story building in perfectly fitted
for the scientific preparation of this
food product. Everything is spotlessly
clean; all appliances are the latest and
most improved, and every precaution is
taken to secure the production of tan
absolutely pure and wholesome food.
All processes are under the direction of
a foreign chemist who has made th9
skillful combination of pure sweet fats
the study of his life.
Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York
City, says: “The product is palatable
and wholesome and I regard it as a
most valuable article of food.”
Prof. J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De
partment, University of New York,
says: “A blessing for the poor, and in
every way a perfectly pure, wholesome
