WIND WITH HIM.
Johnson Charged With Waiting for
a Gale TO Make His Records.

johnson Charged With Waiting for
a Gale to Make His Records.
1t is now charged that johnson made all
his fast records when a stiff gale was blow
ing and he rode with the wind. AT his last
appearance in Independence, johnson was
accompanied by Rhodes, B. B. Bird, and
several other st. Paul and Minneapolis
cyclists. These men state that Eek, John
sons manager, always kept their wheels
locked up when johnson was not on the
track, and that the only time they were al
lowed to use their cycles was when they were
required to act as pacemakers for, johnson.
They also state that johnson made every one
of his great records when he had a good, stiff
gale at his back, and that he would wait Jun
til a gale arose before he started on the track
at all. His record of "a 25 seconds for a
flying start quarter of a mile was made with
this advantage, and he had a similar aid in
making his other records.

GREEoEs ACTION DENOUNCED.
-
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

BERLIN, Dec. 10, 1898. The action of the
Greek Government in proposing a reduction
of the rate Of interest on the foreign loans
has caused great Indignation here, owing to
the fact that Germans are large holders of
Greek bonds. The press is taking up the
questisfii. The papers recommend that con
certed action be taken by the European
Powers to avert such action.
The Vossische Zeitusag says that there is no
question Of mercy, as the bad example of
Greece will ruin the good morals Of other
smaller States that are financially embar-
raised.

Good Scores Were Made by the Four
Teams.
The four teams made fine scores in the
county tournament last night. Three were
over the fifteen hundred mark and the
smallest total was very near the mark. The
teams are bowling much higher than they
did in the first tourney, and the averages
win be high. The Hamilton Wheelmen ran
up 1,564, but Buttenbaum was lucky enough
to make 222. This gave his team the game,
as they were only a few points ahead of the
Hour Clubs team.
In the second game G~lutenheim, of the At
~lantics, contributed over 200, but it did not
avert defeat. Their opponents, the Pioneers,
were in fine shape, n rolled over the aver
