She landed at South Fore- Jand from Cape Griz Nez, France, at 12:35 p. m. Miss Duncan, who is 19 years old, had hoped to beat the 14 hour 25 minute record of Géttrude Ederle established four years ago. Entering the water at about $:20 p. m., her initial speed was about 2% miles an hour. The total time for her swim was 16 hoyrs and 15 minutes. Baltles Adverse Tide Miss Peggy's chances of beating Gertrude Ederle’s record were taken from her at the western entrance of Dover harbor about 10:30 a. m., | when she battled against an adverse tide for nearly an hour and made no progress. She eventually was car- ried toward South Foreland, where she landed. | The young channel victor was| born in JohannesBurg. In 1926 when Miss Duncan was Just 15 years old she set a new mark in swimming = from Robben's Land to Cape Town, a distance of about seven miles, in 9% hours. The water was said to be colder than that of the English channel and to be in- fested with sharks. She vas the only one of six women and six men who started the race to finish.

She wasswim- ming with a trudgeon stroke, but the tide was strong. Cheer after cheer was raised as she stepped ashore at Squth Fore- land. She went immediately to & hotel at Dover. She was found there soon after, smoking a cigarette and looking as fresh as if she had just come in from a stroll. She admitted, how- ever, that “I don't feel like swim- | ming back to France just at the mo- ment,” but added that she would be all right as soon as she “had had a bath.” Stung by Jellyfish “The swim was quite uneventful,” the said, “except that I was stung on the face by a jellyfish.

When Mrs. Williams' letter was hrought to his attention, Butler is- sued a statement in which he said he regretted that she was ‘“under a misapprehension with reference to { the matter of my relations with her father Senator Lodge.” “I have been told by Senator Y Moses, and he Ties publiciy,siserfan that Senator Lodge told him that his successor in the senate regardless of | the manner in which the seat be- | came vacant would be William M. | Butler,” the statement said. “I have never made this assertion by reason statement of Senator Lodge .

My father said to me, ‘That | crowd of Butler's want me to prom- ise to get out and let Butler in. Not | except over my dead body.’ “In 1924 the republican conven- | tion was held at Cleveland.
