Seven Qualify For the Finals AMERICANS SHOW UP WELL IN 1,800 METRES RACE. ONLY 14 CAN COMPETE McCurdy Has Hard Luck in Heat of 5,000 Metres Event—American Swim- mer Wing Heat and Makes Best Time | Stockholm, July 9.—There was every prospect this morning of an off day in the Olympic games, the only finals on the programme being the 400 metre relay flat race and throwing the Javelln right and left hand, both of which numbers athletes of the old school regard as fancy features. The ourtain fell this afternoon, however, on several thrills almost at the same moment. " Relay Race Sensational. The relay race proved a sensation The finish between Great Britain and Germany was 8o close that it looked like a dead heat. The Englishman, Applegarth, undoubtedly was a few inches ahead of the German, but to make assurance doubly sure the com- mittee felt compelled to disqualify the rman team, as they did the Ameri- can team yesterday. Finlanders Win Javelin Throw. The contingents of the northern na- tlons, which had the javelin all to themselyes, were immensely excited when the Finlanders won that event in one, two, three order. Not only did the Finlanders have the satisfaction of being the only people except the Amer- |icans so far to fly their colors for a triple victory, bui they succeeded in breaking two world's records. The Finns would like to compete as an independent nation. as would also the Hungarlans, but the International committee has decided as they have no flag of thelr own, the best that could be done was to raise three Rus- lan flags with pennant displaying the word “Finland” beneath them. Seven Americans Eligible to Final. Seven preliminary heats in the 1,600 metres flat race furnished good exhi- The spectators failed to un- derstand that the competitors, who knew their business best,were not run- ning to win races, merely for s, but places in the final.

McCur- dy, made a brave attempt to win, but | human endurance has its limit, and when he rolled in the grass almo; within reach of second place—and the race for second was the only competi- tion in the last event—he had the sym- pathy of every spectator. Compromise in Swimming Competi- tion. The committee arranged a compro- mise in the matter of the semi-finals of the 1,000 metres swimming competi- tion, which all accepted in a sports- manlike spirit. The Americans by a misunderstanding had failed to appear for the semi-finals of this event, which were contested Sunday. The Interna- tional jury decided this morning that an extra heat, consisting of the three Americans Duke” Kahanamolku, Kenneth Huszagh, Chicago A. A., and Perry McGlllviray, Tliinois A. C.—and Massa of Italy should be swum this evening, and if they beat the arbitra- ry standard of 1 minute 61-5 seconds, the first two men should qualify for the final. The Hawaiian, Kahanamo- ku, was easily first, in 1 minutes 23-5 seconds. which equals the world's rec- | ord, which he made in winning his trial heat. He ded all the way. zagh beat McGillivary by a few feet and qualified for the final. 200 Metres Dash Today. There has heen some criticlsm as to whether the Hawalian should compete 28 an American, but it is pointed out that he fs in exactly the same posftion as the Indian, Ranji, who for years represented England in cricket. g The great interest in the meeting to- morrow centers in the 200 metres dash, when the American sprinters will meet the hope of the Englishmen, Apple- garth. Drew is still suffering from a sprained ankle and cannot compete. There is always dlssatisfaction at every international meeting. The meth- od of timing here comes in for con- siderable discussion. The Swedish managers time by electrical machine which veteran English sharps who use the best stop watches in the world consider is unreliable. They say that somo of the records are fast and oth- ers are slow. American Swimmer Wins Heat. Harry J.

Y, July 9.—That Wil- liam Schroeder, englneer of the ex- press train which ran into the rear end of Lackawanna passenger train No. 9 here last Thursday, causing the deaths of 40 persons, was apparently intoxicated at 12.30 o'clock on_ the morning of July 4, within four hours of the time he boarded the engine which he guided to destruction, was the testimony given at the coroner's inquest here this afternoon by Charles Klaproth of Bimira, for many years a close personal friend of Schroeder. An Unwilling Witn This testimony came near the end of a weary session presided over by Cor- oner Herbert B. Smith in his shirt- sleeves, with jurymen, lawyers, repre- sentatives of ihe interstate commerce commission and others also coatless. Klaproth was haled to court late in the afternoon and proved an unwilling witness against his lifelong friend. He testified that at 12.80 o'clock on the morning of July 4, as he was leaving his place of business in Elmira, he saw Schroeder walking towards him, stag- gering. He remarked to friends who were with him that Schroeder seemed intoxicated. Schroeder went on tow- ardg his home, and Klaproth saw no more of him. Had to Be Roused to Run Train. Engineer Schroeder put in an ap- pearance to go on his run that morn- ing after the leaving time of his train and after men had been sent twice from the railroad headguarters to rouse him. The train was held for him and he started out without testing his engine. When Schroeder arrived at the roundhouse he insisted that he had Mot be=n called, although two men had been sent to call him.

Couneel for Archbald Issu ment. a Bta Washington, July 9.—The counsel for Judge Robert W. Archbald of the commerce court, against whom articles of impeachment have been reported in the house, lssued a statement today asking that public opinion in the Arch- bald case be suspended until the ac- cused jurist has had an opportunity to present his defence to the senate, which, sitting as a court, will try the charges against him. The statement made public by his couneel, the first public reply from the udge and Indicating the tenor of the defence in the expected trial, is in part as follows: “Judge Archbald’s counsel state that | he emphatically denies that In any of the transactions referred to in the re- port of the judiclary committee which are embraced In the articles of im- peachment which the committee has submitted to the house, he used or at- tempted to use his influence as a judge improperly. “Conscious of his own integrity, it transactions referred to that others hight suspect that he was acting oth- erwise than uprightly. “When the original charges against him were presented to the president and the attorney general, he was given no notice and had no hearing. In the proceedings before the house judiciary committee he was permttied to cross- examine witnesses, but It was explicit- ly stated by the chairman that the proceeding was a hearing and not a trial. In the hearings before the com- mittes the principal charges which had 1ed the president and the attorney gen- eral to take action were shown to be utterly unfounded. ~ When the evi- dence was closed, what charges the committee might make could not be Xnown to Judge Archbald or Mis coun- sel until they were presented to the house, “Judge Archbald therefore will have no opportunity to present his defense until he is summoned before the sen- ate, and until he has had a hearing there he asks that public opinion in his case may be suspended. 3 OPPOSES REMOVAL OF OLD LIBERTY BELL.
