TELLER WILL BOLT.
He Again Declares That He Will
Not support a. Gold Standard
BInIGnrn

Cincinnati. June u: Senator and Mrs.
Teller remained here today enroute from
Washington TO 81. Louis. They resume
their journey tomorrow. Senator Teller
was interviewed by the Enquirer, the free
silver organ, as follows:
What do you think the Republicans
will do al 81. Louis. SenstOr?'
Il think that Mckinley will he the nom
inee on a gold standard platform"
I'm that event, what will you doF'
81 don't wish to make any statement
further than that which Is already on rec
ord. When the Republican state conVen-
tion OF Colorado was In session ! tele-
graphed them that | did not desire 10 60 10
st. Louis, but that II my party sent me |
would not support a gold standard candidate
for president on a gold standard platform
or on a platform Of doubtful import, or,
In other words. a straddle. Not only did
the convention elect me, but instructed the
other delegates 70 be governed by my ac-
ton. | did not like that. because 1t is
rather embarrassing that other men should
be forced 10 do as | might do"
Then you will bolt the Convention
IL didn't say anything about that, but my
declaration 10 the Republicans of Colorado
Is on record and you can draw whatever
conclusion you please from that
The inevitable conclusion drawn from
the talk with Senator Teller is that he
will bolt If a gold standard ticket and plat
form be named. He was asked further:
What figure will the tariff question cut
in the CampsignT
Not much, All the tariff In the world will
not help this country without the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. IL the Repub-
leans should elect Mckinley on a tariff
platform the times would not improve
and in two years the discomfort Of the
people would wipe the party out OF exist
ence.'
Among the Gales on Senator Teller
was ex-senator Henry w. Blair. also Pm
route TO 81. Louis. and Hon. w. II. Will
ison, the Indiana Republican, who is ac-
lively advocating free silver.

ccive on account of the large shield
like shell which covers the body and
limbs, closely resembling the hoof of
a horse. This shield is composed of
two parts, the iunCture taking place
across the center of the body. \ long
sharp spine n foot in length projects
from the e Il Of the shield, and is
employed by natives Of South Pacific
islands as the head for an arrow or
lance. These creatures, however, are
singularly harmless. and may be
handled with impunity. The horse

light night upon which 10 take these
crabs. At such tirles he secures the
boat to himself by a rope fastened
about the waist. and, wading in shall
low water, finds the Crustacea. which
have crawled up near the shore, and
throws them into the boat as they
are picked up. In a single night a
skiff holding about 800 has been filled
with these crabs by one man.
A ready sale is found for these crabs
among the baymen and farmers of
Long Island. The baymen use them,
after the shield has been removed, for
batting eel pots, while the farmers
find in them a most economical and
admirable substitute for fertilizer.
The female crabs are sold at So a hun

The Fall Meet to he Held Tomorrow
Afternoon.
The fall athletic meet of Georgetown
University will be held tomorrow after
neon on the college campus and promises
to be unusually interesting. Trainer Foley
is now putting the finishing touches on his
men before field day, and he says he would
not be surprised to see all of the college
records broken, and probably worlds.
B. ]. Wefers Is now in his best form. He
will try hard to lower his time for 300
yards. and If he does not 10 1t he will GER
tainly equal 1t. The track has been put
in excellent condition. and arrangements
for a large crowd are being made. A few
changes have been made in the field events,
and throwing the discus and the shot and
the two jumps will be directly in front
of the grand stand instead of in the corner
Of the field the new arrangement Of the
time schedule will, no doubt. prove a great
success. and it Is hoped that 1t will be
adopted in the athletic meets. as 1t will
do away with the tiresome delay between
events.
The following is list of the officials:

CURRENT SPORTING NOTES


The twenty-mile read race of the Wash
fngton Road Club, which started at O. clock
over the Conduit road course, promises
to be one of the most interesting cycle
events of the season. There are exactly
one hundred and three entries, although
1t is hardly. likely that all of them will
take part. There are d number of fast
men from various sections Of the coun-
try entered, and they are expected to show
up in good style. Mr.. ]. L. Turner, a we'll
known racing man, from Boston, one of the
entrants, left his home Monday and ar
rived in this city Wednesday afternoon.
The weather was not as good as it might
have been for his training. He Is a racer
of some note. and that his ability Is recog-
nized can be judged from the fact that he is
one of the few scratch men. The twenty
mile road record of the District Is $780,
which was made last year by T. N. Mudd,
ir., of the Arlington Wheelmen, breaking
the record previously held by Charles L.
Cause of the Washington Road Club, of
1926. Though it is possible. it is hardly
likely that the record will be broken in
tOday's races.
