SPLINTER WEFERS
Makes a New Record For Short Dis
tance Runners

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA red letter
chapter in the history Of American ath-
letics was written in Georgetown today
by Bernard J. Wefers, who beat two
worlds records for hundred yards and
for three hundred. The first was made
in the remarkable time of 8 3-5 seconds
and the second in 80 2-5 seconds.
1t was Wefers last appearance of the
year, after most remarkable campaign.
The hundred-yard race was a special
event and was done on the spur of the
moment The fact that Wefers' COM
petitor broke from the scratch ahead of
him seems to have put him on his metal.
He won the race easily, and on the i'm
pulse of the moment resolved to go over
the track again with a view of establish
ing a new record, if possible. Without
taking more than five minutes in which
to recover his wind, he again toed the
mark and at the signal sped away. He
was wildly cheered as he tore over the
track, but probably not one of the great
crowd believed he could break the rec
ord. AS he snapped the cord at the fin
ish the timekeepers' watches recorded
9 3-5 seconds. or one-fifth of a second
DelteI THAN tHe run ne IHdue ia the IN
ternational competition in New York q
year ago last summer. The timers an
nouncement was greeted with wild
cheering.
When the 300-yard race was called
Wefers again toed the scratch. This
time he had julius Walsh and McAvery
as pacemakers and an escort of George
town athletes and students. At the finish
Wefers was about ten feet behind
Walsh and made the run in 30 2-5 sec
onds, thus beating his and the world S
record by one-fifth of a second. The
track at Georgetown has the disadvant-
age of curve, in addition to being tri-
file SLOW and it Is said by authorities on
athletics that on straight-away track
Wefers could have made this last run in
thirty seconds,

PARIS, Nov. 7.-When the sultan re-
ceived an account of the recent speech
delivered by NJ. Hanotaux, minister of
foreign affairs in the chamber of depu-
ties on Nov. Sd on the Armenian ques-
ton, he sent his secretary to NJ. Jules
Cambon, the French ambassador to
Turkey, to inquire concerning the mat
ter When the representative of the sui
tan conferred with M. Cambon at Pera
he was Informed by the French ambassa-
dor that under the instructions it was
stated that it was imperative that the

measures calculated to reassure the pub
lie and give Europe satisfaction. The

tan, upon receipt of M. Cambon's mes
sage Immediately decided to adopt the
following measures:
The liberation from the prisons of the
Ottoman empire of all persons against

all peaceable Armenians must not be
prosecuted the immediate convocation
of the Armenian National association
for thee purpose of declaring a patriarch.
