OUR UNCROWNED KING.
Richmond Has the Fastest Telegraph
Operator I'm the World.

Mr.. c. W. White, who has for several
days been in New York, where he entered
the Geographic tournament last Saturday.
returned home last evening.
Mr.. White acquitted himself in the con-
test with record that caused the North
ern contestants to open their eyes. In
conversation with him last night he said
that J.. ID. Moore, a United Press man.
from New York. was his closest COM
petitor Mr.. Moore claimed TO be of the
impression that the message to be sent
contained five hundred words. and con-
sequently held off at the beginning. He
sent 240 words. and was given second
trial. In this he improved his record only
two words. Several others ranged all the
way from 220 TO 2i0 words within the
prescribed five minutes, and then Mr.
White touched the instrument TO the tune
Of 2iS the highest number that was sent
lie was the only Western Union man in
the tournament. most of the contestants
being United Press men.
Mr. Whites claims for the first prize
were ruled out by reason of errors, as
decided by the judges. The audience
were of the impression that the prize be-
lOnged TO him. and seemed greatly sur
prised upon the judges ward to Moore.
He stated that the judges were unfamiliar
with his system of work. and whipped
the devil around the stump" by means of
a number Of technicalities.
The Western Union and Postal men in
attendance were universal in their opinion
that the prize rightfully belonged TO the
Richmond sender. No protest was made,
however, against the decision of the
judges.
Mr. White said he was a little ner-
vous in the contest. and not at his best
on that account. But l showed them
thing or two up there" he added,
though the rulings Of the judges shut
me out Of the prize. My record still re-
mains to be the best. and as a practical
sender. 2lS words is the best on record"
From what l gathered from the inter
view Mr.. White is evidently under the
impression that the judges were anxious
to have the prize remain in the hands Of
the United Press men, who have for so
long had a "cinch' on it. He was the
only Southerner In the contest. and the
witnesses seemed greatly surprised when
he sat down TO the instrument. and got
down TO steady work with movement
that under ordinary circumstances would
have undoubtedly entitled him to the
first prize.
